RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hello Nvidia,
if this is requested for Z stream. Please provide a client impact statement. Please confirm what a client would see if the field from this issue.
Please also provide what it would mean if this waited for RHEL 8.1.

Thank You

Comment 10 Adi Padhye 2019-08-20 22:15:57 UTC 
Hi Joe - we were able to verify the xorg patches you provided and the issue is no longer seen. Anyway to get these patches back into RHEL 8.0 via zstream process? Thanks!

Hi Joe -

We are requesting for a Z stream update for RHEL 8.0.
The impact would be customers running RHEL 8.0 VM on hyper-v host will see X fails to start with segmentation fault. Thus making the configuration unusable.
Your updated Xorg patches resolves the issue, waiting until RHEL 8.1 for this means the current RHEL 8.0 will be a unusable configuration for such users. 

Let me know if you need any further details. Thanks again for consideration.

Regards,
Adi
Comment 13 Joseph Kachuck 2019-08-22 13:53:01 UTC 
Hello Adi,
From the current justification this would appear to be adding functionality. Is this something that works sometimes and then fails?
Errata stream is only for urgent/critical bugs, at current this would not meet this. This will not be approved for Z stream.

Do you have any clients with a bug currently open with Red Hat on this issue?

Thank You
Joe Kachuck
Comment 14 Adi Padhye 2019-09-19 13:32:02 UTC 
Joe - given what we discussed in previous calls, we are okay with not getting the zstream update for this. Thanks!
Comment 15 Adi Padhye 2019-10-23 13:57:03 UTC 
Just to update, we verified the fix in RHEL 8.1 snapshot 4.
