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 Michael S. Tsirkin 2010-07-20 15:48:41 UTC
Description of problem:
publish used feature was revertred upstream,
and discussion is ongoing to make it trigger
layout change that won't be compatible with RHEL.

This will be a big problem with support going forward,
so the right thing for now is to revert this in RHEL6,
as performance gain from it is minor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2:0.12.1.2-2.90.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot rhel6 guest with virtio-net
2. look at features
  
Actual results:
bit 29 should be off

Expected results:
bit 29 is on

Comment 5 Keqin Hong 2010-07-30 07:36:38 UTC
Reproduced in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.97 and verified in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.99.

Steps:
1. boot a rhel6 guest with "-netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on"
2. under qemu monitor, execute "info qtree"

Result: publish_used feature is removed
