Description Andrew Jones 2010-08-13 10:44:36 UTC
Commit "032e70d [misc] intel: support for Intel Cougar Point Chipset"
missed the corresponding -xen file when patching irq[-xen].c. Since the
same update is needed there, this patch adds it in (along with its
whitespace problem -- for diff sake).

Comment 1 Andrew Jones 2010-08-13 10:55:55 UTC
Also missing hunks from fabba497, ed2d6dfb, and f803151f which I see match upstream's dom0 kernel.  Will include those in this patch as well for a full irq[-xen].c synch.

Comment 2 Andrew Jones 2010-08-13 11:03:12 UTC
Don,

Can you confirm that the irq-xen.c hunks from the commits listed on comment 1 should also be added?

Thanks,
Drew

Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2010-11-23 16:01:28 UTC
All commits should be added.  3f529aa is also missing.

Moving to 5.7 and reassigning.

Comment 4 Laszlo Ersek 2010-11-24 17:17:04 UTC
The following list includes all of the above, and more.

Created attachment 462755 [details]

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2011-02-01 16:52:06 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 9 Jarod Wilson 2011-02-09 14:56:17 UTC
in kernel-2.6.18-243.el5
You can download this test kernel (or newer) from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5

Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed.

Comment 11 Jinxin Zheng 2011-04-19 08:12:05 UTC
Do you have any tips on how to do QA over this bug?

Since we have done functional testings for xen with kernel-xen versions newer than -243,and have found no regression due to the patch, would merely sanity checking be OK for this?

If you think it's not enough, please provide us with hardware details and steps to reproduce the problem the patch fixes.

In comment 4 I collected the "bare-metal commits" that this bug/patch synchronizes kernel-xen with. Here's another table, associating BZ's with those commits:


BZ	    commit   comment
---	    -------  -------
bug 223097  ed2d6df  Patch to support Intel ICH9 southbridge

bug 251086  3f529aa  Intel Tolapai SATA and I2C(SMBUS) support

no idea     fabba49  "patch: 2.6.18.4", could affect anything with VIA586

bug 251083  f803151  ICH10 southbridge

bug 566854  032e70d  support for Intel Cougar Point Chipset

bug 570868  acc2373  Intel Patsburg Devices
            32e53e3  update Intel Patsburg defines
            111167c  another LPC Controller ID for Intel Patsburg PCH

I think if you'd want to be extra careful, you could look at the individual BZ's for exact hardware models and test methods, and repeat them in dom0 (they should have been on QA at some point).

Lacking the hardware listed in the shortdescs above, I could only build & boot-test this patch.

Comment 13 Jinxin Zheng 2011-05-20 03:04:14 UTC
We can boot and test on ICH9 and ICH10, but we do not have the other listed hardware.

Comment 14 Jinxin Zheng 2011-05-20 03:07:29 UTC
Hello Seth, can we get your help to test this on Cougar Point and Patsburg, and even VIA586 and Tolapai?

Comment 15 Jinxin Zheng 2011-06-09 06:33:39 UTC
Xen works on Patsburg according to what Seth Heasley said in a mail.

Comment 16 Jinxin Zheng 2011-06-13 02:49:50 UTC
Only got a reply from Seth Heasley from Intel about Xen working on Patsburg. No results for the other hardware: Cougar Point, VIA586, Tolapai.

According to our test results for recent builds of kernel-xen, this is not causing a serious problem. I'm marking this Verified:SanitiOnly.

Comment 17 errata-xmlrpc 2011-07-21 09:47:54 UTC
