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.

trivial patch

The problem only shows up with 1GB RAM or more, and happens because highmem was not considered by the virtio-scsi driver.  The fix is trivial, because we already have a scatterlist (i.e. physical addresses of the buffers) and we just need to copy it into the new scatterlist that is handed to virtio.

kernel328 host with scsi-cd
Comment 16 Sibiao Luo 2012-10-12 05:00:18 UTC 
Reprocue this issue with the same steps as Comment #0, install guest (RHEL6.3 32bit) using scsi-hd + scsi-cd, but fails.

host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-328.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.320.el6.x86_64
guest info:
RHEL6.3GA_32bit

Steps:
1.Create a image. 
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 RHEL6.3-20120613-sluo-x86_64.qcow2 10G
2.install the guest(RHEL6.3 32) using cdrom.
eg:# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.3.0 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name sluo_test -uuid `uuidgen` -drive file=/home/RHEL6.3-20120613-i386.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-disk,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-disk,scsi-id=0,lun=0,id=scsi_image,bootindex=2 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=virtio-net-pci0,mac=05:1a:4a:02:0b:11,bus=pci.0,bootindex=3 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0 -vnc :1 -boot menu=on -monitor stdio -drive file=/home/RHEL6.3-20120613.2-Server-i386-DVD1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,cache=none,werror=stop,format=raw,id=cd -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1 -device scsi-cd,drive=cd,id=scsi_cd,bootindex=1

Results:
fail to install rhel6.3 32bit guest with 'exec of anaconda failed: Input/output error'. please see attachment 625771 [details] for details.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verify this issue with the same steps as Comment #0, install guest (RHEL6.3 32bit) using scsi-hd + scsi-cd.

host ifno:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-328.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.320.el6.x86_64
guest info:
RHEL6.4-20121011.n.0-Server-i386

Steps:
the same as reproduce.
eg:...-drive file=/home/RHEL6.4-20121011.n.0-Server-i386-DVD1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,cache=none,werror=stop,format=raw,id=cd -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1 -device scsi-cd,drive=cd,id=scsi_cd,bootindex=1 -drive file=/home/RHEL6.4-20121011.n.0-sluo-i386.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-disk,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-disk,scsi-id=0,lun=0,id=scsi_image,bootindex=2

Results:
finish install RHEL6.4-20121011.n.0-Server-i386 guest successfully and reboot guest correctly.

Base on above, this issue has been fixed correctly.

Best Regards.
