[Bug 1670481] Re: Backport "populate PCI DT in reverse order" patch

 

Hi,
I'm checking bugs dormant too long to update their tracking.
On this one I highly appreciate the report and the fixing we did in zesty (and later is done due to it being upstream) - it is ok to change that on a new release which zesty was.

But as outlined in comment #4 SRU'ing it would be as much chance for a
regression to some users as it would fix others.

Those affected (Like the reporter) already likely have workarounds in
place, but others could be impacted by the reverse order.

I asked to make it a more compelling case to drive the SRU in comment #7, but nothing happened.
Thereby "timing out" the Xenial task and setting incomplete->invalid to clear the view for the issues currently actionable.

If that still is a concern please provide the arguments needed for the
SRU [1] and set it back to new or confirmed.

P.S. Yakkety is EOL, so I set won't fix for that one

** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Yakkety)
       Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix

** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

  ---Problem Description---
  On ppc64el qemu the order of device scanning was recently changed, causing device names to be in reverse order compared to e.g. x86. This is creating a need for all sorts of work arounds to make the code that assumes certain order of devices to work on Power.

  The fix has been proposed and it appears it would go into Qemu 2.9, see [1]. It might be awhile until qemu 2.9 gets widely adopted as default. It would be beneficial if the fix can be backported to an earlier versions of Qemu.
