The parent issue RHELC-1296 has the label that triggered autocreation of this subtask to track the relative story point estimation for the integration test part of the issue.

The parent issue description at the time of creation of this issue was:
There's a logic error in the IsLoadedKernelLatest Action. There're three Action results of the ERROR level but in fact all of them are overridable because setting the CONVERT2RHEL_UNSUPPORTED_SKIP_KERNEL_CURRENCY_CHECK variable makes the whole Action to skip.

Acceptance criteria:

• The INVALID_KERNEL_PACKAGE Action result is changed from level ERROR to WARNING - the detected problem is not really about having an invalid kernel package.
  • It's either due to non-matching package names. And having a different package name is practically impossible because of the code

    # append the package name to loaded_kernel and latest_kernel so they can be properly processed by
    # compare_package_versions()
    latest_kernel_pkg = "%s-%s" % (package_to_check, latest_kernel)
    loaded_kernel_pkg = "%s-%s" % (package_to_check, loaded_kernel)
    

  • Or it's due to the compared kernel packages having a different architectures - it means that the system has for some reason incorrectly defined repositories for another architecture.
  • The diagnosis is updated saying that there's an arch mismatch likely due to incorrectly defined repositories on the system.
• The result level of INVALID_KERNEL_VERSION and KERNEL_CURRENCY_CHECK_FAIL is changed from ERROR to OVERRIDABLE because using the CONVERT2RHEL_UNSUPPORTED_SKIP_KERNEL_CURRENCY_CHECK envvar essentialy skips the Action altogether.
• The remediation section of the INVALID_KERNEL_VERSION and KERNEL_CURRENCY_CHECK_FAIL results mentions that one can use the CONVERT2RHEL_UNSUPPORTED_SKIP_KERNEL_CURRENCY_CHECK envvar to skip the check.

Note:

The INVALID_KERNEL_VERSION could theoretically be kept of level ERROR but then we would need to remove the CONVERT2RHEL_UNSUPPORTED_SKIP_KERNEL_CURRENCY_CHECK envvar and replace it with a new envvar for each of the OVERRIDABLE results. But generally converting with an older version of kernel is not expected to cause a conversion failure, so it might be overridable.
