virt-v2v/0036-v2v-Disable-readahead-for-VMware-curl-sources-too-RH.patch
Richard W.M. Jones 2f9214744a Reapply patches since we are using git format-patch --submodule=diff
- Don't comment out patch 0029 (the common submodule update).

- Use a common/.gitattributes trick to exclude files from the common
  patch that are not included in virt-v2v tarball.  This also requires
  some sed hacking.

NB: I tried using ':(exclude)...' stuff and it does not work for
submodules, at least not with the git version in RHEL 8.

For more info see private email thread "Customer case requiring our
assistance" in 2023.

Subject: [PATCH] v2v: Disable readahead for VMware curl sources too
(RHBZ#1848862).
This appears to be the cause of timeouts during the conversion step
where VMware VCenter server's Tomcat HTTPS server stops responding to
requests (or rather, responds only with 503 errors). The server later
recovers and in fact because of the retry filter the conversion
usually succeeds, but I found that we can avoid the problem by
disabling readahead.
(cherry picked from commit 9f4940068022d4e7abdfea6617b73a2b206f19aa)
