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 dawu 2012-07-25 09:13:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
 Package length with SSH protocol always <=1514 on WinXP when keeping netkvm parameters "TestOnly.Scatter-Gather" and "Offload Tx LSO" as default value "enable", for other platforms, can find packages with length >=1514.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64
virtio-win-1.5.3


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start guest with CLI:
   /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G -smp 2 -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+x2apic,family=0xf -usb -device usb-tablet -drive file=winxp.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,sndbuf=0,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,mac=90:10:1a:75:50:03,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,id=virtio-net-pci0 -uuid a732b192-db0f-4130-9fb7-5317e4c98c7e -rtc base=localtime -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -chardev socket,id=111a,path=/tmp/winxp,server,nowait -mon chardev=111a,mode=readline -name xp-rhel63 -vnc :1 -monitor stdio

2. Set  "TestOnly.Scatter-Gather" and "Offload Tx LSO" to enable, and keep MTU size as default 1500

3. in guest, use winscp to scp file from guest to host ,at the same time ,open wireshark to listenning the package.

Actually result:
   Can not find any package with SSH protocol which length is >= 1514 on winxp
 
Expect Result:
   Length of some package wih SSH protocol should be >=1514
 
Additional info:
 1.This issue only reproduce on winxp, can not hit this issue on other guests (win2k8/win2k8-R2/win7/win2k3)
 2.Also tried with netperf, this issue also exist on winxp, the package length with TCP protocol still always <= 1514, but for other guest like win2k8-64, can found package with TCP protocol >=1514.
   CLI with netperf: netperf -H 10.66.9.242 -t TCP_STREAM -- -m 4096
Comment 2 Ronen Hod 2012-07-25 09:27:32 UTC 
Closing.
We decided to freeze the XP drivers at their current phase as much as we can, so this non-critical bug is here in case we will decide to fix XP bugs.

Thanks, Ronen.
