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 Marcelo Tosatti 2023-06-29 17:53:56 UTC
RHEL 9.3.0 / CentOS clone

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2214884 +++

Description of problem:
Under ocp4.13/ocp-v 4.13.1-188 env, the real time worker node is installed with RHCOS based on RHEL9.2, it's found "# Max Latencies: 00090 00096 00141" when run 1 hour cyclictest, while a maximum of 50us is acceptable. From Marcelo, it's caused by "query-stats QMP command interrupts vcpus.", "[PATCH] kvm: reuse per-vcpu stats fd to avoid vcpu interruption" was submitted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host kernel: Scratch kernel 5.14.0-284.13.1.rt14.298kvmrtv1.el9_2.x86_64 
Guest kernel: Scratch kernel 5.14.0-284.13.1.rt14.298kvmrtv1.el9_2.x86_64

Adding zstream and ZTR=9.2.0, see bug 2214884 for details, especially https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2214884#c2

Comment 9 Marcelo Tosatti 2023-07-10 11:19:30 UTC
Test steps to verify bug:

1) Run qemu-kvm in parallel with rt-trace-bpf, with isolated vcpu.

2) Run query-stats command on QMP 
(https://patchew.org/Libvirt/20220624081449.70085-1-natto@weirdnatto.in/20220624081449.70085-3-natto@weirdnatto.in/), should see
IPIs to pcpu where isolated vcpu runs.

3) with fixed qemu-kvm, should be able to run query-stats QMP command and not see the IPIs.
