New subject: Q: how can I request to add an upstream patch to resolve a core dump issue?

22 Jun 2018


      UPDATE: It turned out QEMU still dumped core with that patch applied.
That said, I'm still interested to know how to report issues with QEMU from centos-virt repo.
Thanks,
Ray

Hi,
The latest version of QEMU (qemu-kvm-ev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.3.1) from centos-
virt repo doesn't have this patch:
commit 68a9398261ca38979bbc2b7c89ed5bb044ccc9e6
  Author: linzhecheng linzhecheng@huawei.com
  Date: Tue Nov 28 12:46:56 2017 +0800
qemu-thread: fix races on threads that exit very quickly
I wonder how I can request to add it? I hit a core dump issue repeatedly,
which I believe is fixed by this patch. While I observed it on an aarch64
machine, I think the issue is common on all arch types.
I'd like to submit a bug report, but didn't find a category for centos-virt at
https://Bugzilla.redhat.com (I suppose I should file bug against upstream,
right?). The Virt-SIG wiki page seems to be outdated and doesn't contain
information on this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray
