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:
The "adapter interrupt suppression" capability KVM_CAP_S390_AIS has been disabled since there were some issues with migration:

 https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f2d07b3b01ea61126b

The commit message of that commit said that the migration problems would be fixed and AIS would be enabled again, but so far this has not happen yet. Since this is likely a useful feature, we should try to get this enabled again (first in upstream, then in downstream).

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nographic -accel kvm -cpu host,ais=true

Actual results:
qemu-kvm: Some features requested in the CPU model are not available in the configuration: ais  

Expected results:
It should be possible to use "-accel kvm -cpu host,ais=true" without problems

Suggested a patch upstream here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-01/msg03309.html

Patch has been merged here:
https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=a5c8617af6919515b84256978452edf07401c45e

We should get it with the next rebase, so I'm moving this BZ to POST.

QEMU has been recently split into sub-components and as a one-time operation to avoid breakage of tools, we are setting the QEMU sub-component of this BZ to "General". Please review and change the sub-component if necessary the next time you review this BZ. Thanks

Reproduced with:
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-19.module+el8.3.0+6473+93e27135.s390x
