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).

Jon, should it be triaged by someone working on vsock?
--- Additional comment from John Ferlan on 2020-09-25 13:55:52 UTC ---
Stefano - is there any relationship to bug 1868449 here? or is this something new?

No, I think it is not related. It seems that vhost-vsock doesn't support iommu-platform=on since the very beginning:
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20200226094357.25061-1-jasowang@redhat.com
I'll take a closer look!

pm_ack is no longer used for this product. The flag has been reset.
See https://issues.redhat.com/browse/PTT-1821 for additional details or contact lmiksik if you have any questions.

QEMU should work as is, but I found a little issue that I fixed upstream:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-10/msg09077.html
The patch was already merged: 384c2561bd ("vhost-vsock: set vhostfd to non-blocking mode")
The issue is mainly related to the vhost-vsock kernel module that doesn't have IOTLB API support, so I'll create a new BZ for kernel.

The patch merged upstream: e13a6915a03ffc3ce332d28c141a335e25187fa3 (vhost/vsock: add IOTLB API support)
Backport should not be difficult, but given it's a new feature, leaving it to the next release.
