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.

Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.32-71.16.1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, a guest could use the poll() function to find out whether the host-side connection was open or closed. However, with a SIGIO signal, this can be done asynchronously, without having to explicitly poll each port. With this update, a SIGIO signal is sent for any host connect/disconnect events. Once the SIGIO signal is received, the open/close status of virtio-serial ports can be obtained using the poll() system call.

Reproduced this bug with fixed in 2.6.32-71.15.1.el6 using the steps
in:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624628#c24 and The sigio test
are all FAIL.

Verified on 2.6.32-71.16.1.el6(guest's kernel) using the same steps and sigio
test are all pass:
