Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 qing.wang 2022-09-20 09:22:34 UTC
Description of problem:

There is new export type in qsd help message:

  --export [type=]vduse-blk,id=<id>,node-name=<node-name>
           ,name=<vduse-name>[,writable=on|off]
           [,num-queues=<num-queues>][,queue-size=<queue-size>]
           [,logical-block-size=<logical-block-size>]
           [,serial=<serial-number>]
                         export the specified block node as a
                         vduse-blk device


But the type need kernel support and may be used in QEMU.
So far, the type is not supported in QEMU.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-storage-daemon version 7.1.0 (qemu-kvm-7.1.0-1.el9)


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.qemu-storage-daemon -h
2.
3.

Actual results:
Find unsupported export type in QEMU 
Expected results:
Hide unsupported export type

Additional info:

Comment 1 Kevin Wolf 2022-09-20 14:56:32 UTC
We shouldn't have enabled VDUSE in the RHEL build until we make an explicit decision to support this. So the fix should be to disable it again.

Comment 6 Yanan Fu 2023-02-08 07:03:03 UTC
QE bot(pre verify): Set 'Verified:Tested,SanityOnly' as gating/tier1 test pass.
