Hey folks! Just a note about current openQA test failures for Rawhide
updates.

Unfortunately it's a bit intractable. The cause seems to be something
in the kernel.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-0b8ce0290c (kernel-
6.16.0-0.rc5.45.fc43) was gated because of these weird failures. But
then the perl 5.42 side tag landed, and python3-perf - which is built
from the kernel - became uninstallable, so we tagged in the kernel from
the perl side tag to fix that...which turns out to be that same kernel-
6.16.0-0.rc5.65.fc43 . Oops. So we can have:

1) a kernel which doesn't cause weird failures in openQA, but an
uninstallable python3-perf which breaks all sorts of common build
chains and installs

2) an installable python3-perf, but weird openQA failures

I can't find another choice right now :( So we're stuck.

The openQA failures come along with a ton of warning kernel traces
about DRM stuff, which are apparently fixed by
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/663110e1-3aa0-4f6f-8727-3a240bc96...@kernel.org/T/#me2a0f3254a57cdd157ba79344ab8d51476ba18e5
, but I don't know if fixing those tracebacks will actually fix the
test failures, or if that's some other issue. Also, that patch is not
yet merged to mainline, so just doing a newer kernel snapshot build
won't pull it in.

Kernel builds were failing anyway due to a dracut bug -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2379116 . I've just
bisected that and sent a dracut build with the offending commit
reverted, so we can build kernels again, but I'm not going to try and
do any kernel builds (I can't anyway as I'm not on the SB signing
list).

In the morning I'll see if fiddling with the openQA settings to use a
different graphics adapter mitigates the problem, unless Justin's got a
new kernel build through and it fixes the problem, or something. Until
then, F43 updates will likely fail gating. Sorry for the inconvenience
:(
