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.

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-prewhql-173



How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot guest with virtio-net device
2. 
Registration in NetSH (instllation):
1).cmd --> run as administrator
2).cd path-to-the-netkvm-driver
3).# rundll32 netkvmco.dll,RegisterNetKVMNetShHelper

3. netsh netkvm show parameters name

4. check "TesOnly.RXThrottle"

Actual results:
It shows "NumberOfHandledRXPackersInDPC"

Expected results:

Should be "NumberOfHandledRXPacketsInDPC"

Packers-->Packets


Additional info:
it shows correct for win8+ guests

https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/pull/406

1. There was a typo in the parameter name shown to the user.

2. In general "TesOnly.X" parameters are not shown to the user and can only be set by changing registry directly. It was done in order not to confuse the users with debug settings. For some reason "TesOnly.RXThrottle" was kept in INF.

3. The fix removes "TesOnly.RXThrottle" from the GUI settings. It still can be set in the registry if needed.

4. The verification after the fix should test that the "TesOnly.RXThrottle" is not shown in the device manager after the driver is installed.

Verified on latest driver (virtio-win-prewhql-174)
Guest OS: win7-74, win8-32, win2016 and win2019

"TesOnly.RXThrottle" is not shown in the device manager and  no "NumberOfHandledRXPackersInDPC" after typing "netsh netkvm show parameters name"

So this bug has been fixed , I will change it to verified.


Thanks
