Description Miroslav Rezanina 2021-11-30 13:08:54 UTC
QEMU is large project and it is not trivial to do backporting for bigger changes. To keep backporting task reasonable complicated we need to do regular updates. 

QEMU 6.2.0 is final version we are targeting to get in RHEL 9.0.0.

Comment 1 Yanan Fu 2021-12-20 09:42:52 UTC
QE bot(pre verify): Set 'Verified:Tested,SanityOnly' as gating/tier1 test pass.

Comment 4 smitterl 2021-12-23 11:48:48 UTC
Yanan, Mirek, there are two integration issues with libvirt (one at least is critical), by setting ON_QA these issues will reproduce in the nightly. Could you please reconsider the pre-verification status. The two integration issues are:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2022602#c5
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035006

IIRC, the pre-verification was introduced to support Always-Ready-RHEL and help improve nightly compose quality, that is, no change should ever break the nightly.

I remember there's a team agreement that per default gating PASS is considered enough to consider a BZ pre-verified, but given that we have evidence of two integration issues - one most likely critical - I think we should hold bakc.

I hope this one can be fixed ASAP as it is a common scenario and it becomes kind of a test blocker for libvirt now.

As we discuss, the first issue was caused by wrong compat handling in 6.1 and is not critical one.

Second one needs more work and it is something not blocking basic usage so can be solved on top of rebase.
