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 rc0
Fixed in rc1
Fixed in rc2
- SPARC host failure in tests/virtio-9p-test (using le*_to_cpus() on unaligned field in packed struct)
- bsd-user compile failure
- OSX graphics don't work (trying to call into cocoa from wrong thread)
- Deadlocks in Win32 condition variables
Fixed in rc3
- SPARC host failures (not extending arguments to load/store helpers) -- patch on list
- aarch64 KVM doesn't work on kernel 4.10 or lower
- SPARC host failure in tests/bios-tables-test (unaligned field in packed struct)
- migration failure of usb storage on xhci under a PCI bridge; works in 2.8 (See patch from Gerd: xhci: flush dequeue pointer to endpoint context)
- test-qga fails if /sys/devices/ doesn't have slaves/ directory where expected
- -serial stdio output may get stuck due to glib main loop signaling issue
Fixed in rc4
- record-and-replay is broken (patches on list: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-04/msg00661.html)
- Storage live migration is broken (guest devices don't allow writes to the image on the destination even while the migration is still running)
- snapshot_blkdev is broken when using iothreads
Not yet fixed in any rc
Issues that will not be fixed
- NetBSD build failure because ivshmem-server uses shm_open but doesn't link -lrt
- OpenBSD fails make check ("-drive if=none,id=drive1,file=/dev/null,format=raw: Could not refresh total sector count: Operation not supported by device")
Targeted Features
See the ChangeLog/2.9 for full details.
