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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
Simo, Sumit, can one of you elaborate on which changes after 1.9(.0) were needed for this? I'm trying to enumerate a list, and going from the README files, tickets 6869, 6886, 6912, 6994/7007, 7016/7039, 7092/7102, and 7120/7142 look relevant. We already backported some of those into the earlier update, though, and if we can backport the rest and avoid a complete rebase, I'd prefer it.
From IRC:
<simo> nalin: all testing have been done with 1.10, we have no idea how to isolate only the necessary changes
<nalin> simo: is 1.9 even known to not work, then?
<simo> yes
<simo> 1.9 will NOT work
<nalin> because...?
<simo> changes in internal interfaces iirc, plus number of bugs, plus we didn't bother finding out what else
