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:
If tuned's net plugin is configured with a list of devices such that the
first one returns ethtool error (Operation not supported), the plugin_net
terminates without parsing the rest of the listed network devices.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tuned-2.15.0-2.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
Whenever we have a network device that doesn't support ethtool
configuration and there are other devices after that in the list that do
support ethtool configuration.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bring up a rhel8.4 host
2. Apply any tuned profile eg. realtime-virtual-host and configure the
realtime/tuned.conf with something like:
[net]
type=net
devices=br0,enp5s0f0
channels=combined ${f:check_net_queue_count:${netdev_queue_count}}
Note:
To forcefully reproduce this issue I removed the check from tuned where
it removes virtual devices from the list of network devices. This allows
the virtual device to return "Operation not supported" and the
plugin_net script to fail.
However, this issue should also be reproducible whenever we have a
physical network device that doesn't support ethtool configuration.
3. Apply the profile and reboot or after the first reboot.
Actual results:
ERROR tuned.utils.commands: Executing ethtool error: netlink error: Operation not supported
ERROR tuned.utils.commands: Executing ethtool error: netlink error: Operation not supported

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'items'
Expected results:
Tuned should apply the network configuration to remaining devices that
supports it without terminating.
Additional info:
The issue is also reproducible upstream.
