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 Basil Salman 2020-11-09 17:54:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
multiple failures on different tests with different virtio devices attached such as:
1. HyperVisor Code Integrity Readiness Test
2. DF- PNP Suprise Remove Device test
3. DF - PNP DIF Remove Device Test (Reliablity)
etc..

As part of the tests the test machine gets rebooted and after the reboot, it runs some other tasks, when the tests fails i noticed that the reboot on the test machine gets very slow and the "after-reboot tasks" start running before the machine has fully restarted, which causes some of the tasks to be cancelled if they are still running and the machine finishes restarting.
while in the successful runs the machine manages to restart before running the tasks and after the reboot it runs the tasks as supposed to and they finish successfully.

In HCK-CI qemu-img snapshots are used to create fresh images for each test run, using snapshots does affect the virtual hard disk performance which can result in such slowness.
currently unsafe cache option is used in a trial to boost the disk performance and fix the issue, it is noticeable that the number of failures has decreased, but they still happen very often.


*This is not a guest-drivers bug.
