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 Osier Yang 2011-10-24 11:24:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

How to reproduce

1) make sure the device is already detached from host (bound to pci-stub)
2) virsh attach-device domain pci.xml
3) virsh detach-device domain pci.xml

You will see the device will be bound to some other driver if driver reprobing succeeded. The problem can be reproduced regardless of whether the device
is "managed" or not. That means another problem is "it should never try to
reattach the device to host when the device is not managed".

Comment 7 weizhang 2012-01-10 10:23:38 UTC 
This bug is blocked by bug 768268, so I will verify this bug after bug 768268 fixed.

Step:
1. virsh nodedev-dettach pci_0000_00_19_0
2. readlink -f /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:19.0/driver/
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub
3. virsh attach-device domain pci.xml
cat pci.xml
          <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
            <source>
              <address bus='0' slot='25' function='0'/>
            </source>
          </hostdev>
4. virsh detach-device domain pci.xml
5. readlink -f /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:19.0/driver/
should also be 
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub
Comment 8 weizhang 2012-02-21 02:48:38 UTC 
Verify pass on 

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.225.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-225.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-1.el6.x86_64

The result is as comment 7 shows, after detach from guest with managd=yes, the driver is also bounded to pci-stub, but not e1000e
