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:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Driver was failing WHQL certification on Windows 7 because it disregarded the request from OS to indicate only a certain number of packets during one DPC. Consequence: WHQL test failure. Outside of test environment - OS might fail to moderate the driver workload for RX path. Fix: Implement packet indication moderation. Result: WHQL certification for Windows 7 pass.

Comment 8 Ronen Hod 2012-05-10 09:34:17 UTC 
Postponed to 6.4, and removed the blocker flag.
We will use the Vista drivers for Win7 and 2K8R2, just like we did in the past.
Yan Fixed the bug, still testing, but it is too delicate for 6.3.
Comment 11 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2012-05-21 15:24:53 UTC 
Fix:
http://git.engineering.redhat.com/?p=users/yvugenfi/internal-kvm-guest-drivers-windows/.git;a=commit;h=44e34181c9774dfa1a3e41dd1a7c4a3d7b75215b

Request for test:
1. Pass glitch free test
2. Test long (at least several hours) transfer scenarios (netperf and iperf).
3. Decrease "TestOnly.RXThrottle" driver parameter to 10 (from device manager -> advanced tab). Run long transfer scenarios.


Additional info:
1 Test out of 30 failed. In failed cases the test was complaining that we were requested to indicate only 10 packets and indicated more. According to driver printout we were never requested to indicate less than 100 packets. If this issue will detected in WHQL environment - let's gather the logs and approach MS.
Comment 12 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2012-05-21 15:40:37 UTC 
During tests - test guest also as a server of iperf and netperf.
Comment 13 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2012-05-30 16:22:35 UTC 
Another issue with this test - from time to time test fails with "divide by zero exception". This failure was present even before my recent changes. 
This is a definite bug of the test, I suspect the server’s side.
The root cause of this zero division is that no packets are sent and no packets are received in one of 3 test iterations.
The test’s intention is to send data for 1 millisecond.
It seems that all the commands are received by server but the server definitely does not send one of batches of packets.
There are 3 batches to be sent – they’re to be received with limits of 10, 100 and 1000 packets per DPC.
This can happen on any batch – exception terminates the test.
Comment 14 Min Deng 2012-06-06 03:40:58 UTC 
  So far,the whql passed via driver 28 (under Win7 folder) on windows 7 32/64 and windows 2008 R2 platform.
  The rest testing is on going
Comment 16 Mike Cao 2012-08-24 02:50:27 UTC
