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 FuXiangChun 2012-10-12 05:08:11 UTC 
Description of problem:

As subject. and cann't get useful infomation from monitor. I attached host serial console log.

Hit this issue with kernel-2.6.32-328.el6、kernel-2.6.32-320.el6 and kernel-2.6.32-325.el6. 
For kernel-2.6.32-279.el6(GA kernel), It works well and haven't hit this issue. 
Since kvm QE have tested device assignment and don't hit this issue on rhel6.3 GA
so add 'regression' keywords.
Currently, kvm QE want to test 'device assignment' with the latest kernel, because this bug we cann't continue. so add 'blocker' flags.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host kernel:
kernel-2.6.32-328.el6
kernel-2.6.32-320.el6
kernel-2.6.32-325.el6. 

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot system with  kernel parameter intel_iommu=on
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
boot fail, and monitor cann't get useful infomation.

Expected results:
boot successfully.

They both have the same set of DMAR faults for the same 02:00.0/i915 device.
How are they different?  Please be very specific how you think they are different.

I think main difference that bug 861361 hit kernel panic with kernel 2.6.32-279.e16.x86_64.  This kernel version works well in our testing result.
Comment 10 Dave Airlie 2012-10-17 04:02:08 UTC 
okay found the problem in the backport of the kernel patches, a config option changed name upstream DMAR->INTEL_IOMMU and I didn't flag it during the rebase.

Patch on its way to rhkernel-list.

My apologies, I thought the above statement was referring to 865665.
So, it appears that 865665 is a dupe of this bug.  if so, please close as duplicate.

Comment 20 FuXiangChun 2012-10-22 02:06:46 UTC 
verify this issue with kernel 2.6.32-335.el6.x86_64

1. boot host with intel_iommu=on 
2. boot guest with PF 

result: 
 host and guest work well. and not found any error message.



base on testing result above. I think this bug is fixed.
