Since you're consuming the CentOS Stream 8 packages (I assume) and the
CentOS Stream 8 is actually the opened development of the next RHEL minor release (8.6) [1], it makes
a lot of sense to open BZs against those packages in RHEL-8.6.

Especially since we won't fix those problems in CentOS Stream without fixing it in RHEL first.

So, if you believe that this is a problem with the package itself (as it looks like), I strongly suggest opening a BZ against those packages in RHEL.

Didi can you please open a bug against RHEL 8 CentoStream version for qemu-kvm component?

Michal searched and found:

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/641

And indeed it seems to be our case:

[root@ost-he-basic-suite-master-host-0 ~]# ps uaxww | grep qemu | sed 's/ /\n/g' | grep ^pcie-root-port | wc
     17      17    1160

Danilo - the gitlab page above mentions several patches linking to it already, some of which from the last few days. I didn't check them. Is there still value in opening a bug, or is the issue already sufficiently clear?

That said, I failed to verify this using isa-debugcon as mentioned there, and the various things the command uses (FDs, storage) are temporary - created on the fly by libvirt/vdsm - so I can't just copy the command and add a few options. If needed I guess it's possible to hack this using a vdsm hook or something.

For the time being, is there a workaround/temporary-build/whatever other than downgrading to qemu-kvm-6.0.0 (which is considered deprecated, I guess - e.g. Sandro is going to remove it from ovirt-release package ( https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-release/pull/2 ), following the thread "[CentOS-devel] Is advanced-virt (Virtualization SIG) not relevant anymore with latest CentOS Stream 8?")?
 

 

[1] - This is only true for CentOS Stream 8 (which is a copy of RHEL). CentOS Stream 9 is the other way around.

Sadly no, from my experience it's still fix in rhel first and then in CentOS Stream, at least for systemd on CentOS Stream 9.
I would love to see fixes coming to Stream first.

Best regards,
