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 Ademar Reis 2021-06-03 18:46:23 UTC 
In the context of reducing our scope in RHEL9, let's disable virtiofs support in edk2 for now (it was added as TechPreview in RHEL-8.4, see #1741615).

An upstream patch to disable it at build time is preferable, but a downstream patch is acceptable.

An even better solution would be a sub-package with extra drivers we don't support (so customers could try and experiment), but that's something for a future BZ.

Some additional context: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l9XrPABP8M_d1r-CDROLyg8bnGFLHWUG5JRUxrFgBIY/edit#heading=h.25qwpxg4pjsc
