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.
Also see Planning/2.6/Testing.
Still unfixed in master
- Postcopy broken on 4.5 or newer kernels if THP enabled (kernel bug?)
- While committing snapshot qemu crashes with SIGABRT [1]
- wrong r0 on kernel boot on raspi2/xilinx-zynq/highbank/midway
Fixed in rc1
- Compile failures if libnfs is enabled
- net/netmap.c broken on FreeBSD [2]
- don't use 8-byte atomic access on 32-bit platforms (fixes freebsd, ppc32, etc)
- ensure chardev socket backends are in non-blocking mode [3]
- cannot connect resolve client hostnames on FreeBSD [4] (broken since 2.4.0 by commit 3de3d698d942d1116152417f882c897b26b44e41)
Fixed in rc2
- add i82801b11 missing migration data
- tests/bios-tables-test: fix assert (make check will fail for newer iasl without it)
- reentrancy problems for dataplane/aio (fixed in pull 8227e2d16705b8c94df93f465d4e1659c28c69ce)
- compilation failure when --enable-tcg-interpreter is used (Stefan Weil has patch posted)
Will be fixed in rc3
- Networking is broken on Windows hosts
- pflash block/io.c bdrv_co_do_pwritev during migrate (typically EFI setup)
- NBD features added in 2.6 don't quite follow protocol [5] [6]
- buffer overrun in cadence_uart
- cuda: fix off-by-one error in SET_TIME command [7]
- Update language files in po/. As there were changes in ui/gtk.c, the line numbers need an update.
- gluster data corruption after io errors
- fix pv-grub booting with xenfb [8]
Not planned to be fixed for 2.6
- compilation failure on 3.20 gtk (fedora 24) - deprecated functions (not a failure for release tarballs, workaround for building from git tree is to use --disable-werror; we will fix this in 2.7)
