Known issues
Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.
Fixed in rc3
- Regression on POWER9 when using VSMT breaks guests (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1900241)
- fixed: 6d24795ee7e3 ("Revert series "spapr/xive: Allocate vCPU IPIs from the vCPU contexts"")
Fixed in rc2
- ghes migration broken (looped vmstate https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-10/msg05187.html )
- graphic_hw_update() may crash with -nodefaults fixed
- Xen support no longer built on arm64 fixed
- Crash with "qemu-system-ppc64 -M powernv -device macio-newworld" or "qemu-system-ppc64 -M mac99 -device macio-oldworld" (fix is available here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg02630.html)
- fixed: 6bfa035ec31 ("macio: set user_creatable to false in macio_class_init")
- migration incompatibility of nec-usb-xhci ( https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg03128.html )
- fixed: 172bc8520db ("xhci: fix nec-usb-xhci properties")
- 2GB SD card announced as 1GB (https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg753834.html)
- fixed: 575094b786e ("hw/sd: Fix 2 GiB card CSD register values")
Fixed in rc1
- s390 is failing --without-default-devices build (https://travis-ci.com/gitlab/bonzini/qemu/jobs/426142849)
- SD command ACMD41 misbehaves (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1809291)
- fixed: 89c6700fe7e ("hw/sd/sdcard: Zero out function selection fields before being populated")
Not fixed yet
- pica61 -device isa-vga aborts (RAMBlock "vga.vram" already registered) - not a recent regression, thus this should likely not block the release
- set_pci_host_devaddr() fails parsing bus > 0x1f (https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg750121.html)
- microblaze s3adsp1800 stuck while booting (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg02183.html) - not a recent regression, also happens with v5.0 already, thus this should likely not block the release
- pci broken for s390x-on-x86 tcg guests, bisected to 28dc86a07299 ("s390x/pci: use a PCI Group structure") (https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20201117124349.2e1e2fe3.cohuck@redhat.com/)
