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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 of problem:
We are shipping a kspice-usb driver on the RHEL6.0 Supplementary media. This driver is not currently in-tree, though it may be in due course. Of the 70 symbols required by that module in the current instance, the following symbols are not on the approved whitelists and would, ideally, be added to aid in our packaging and distribution of this module (both x86_64 and i686 have been checked and are the only targets required):
bus_register_notifier
bus_unregister_notifier
usb_free_urb
usb_get_urb
usb_register_driver
vmalloc_to_pfn
Note that usb_alloc_urb is already on the whitelist. The exact ABI use of these drivers for i686 and x86_64 is attached to this bug.
Jon.

We need to update the kabi-whitelists package prior to RHEL6.1 release with these updates. Thanks for reminding me - it will be post-beta at this stage.
