[libvirt] [PATCH] virStreamSparseSendAll: Reset @want in each iteration
by Michal Privoznik 22 May '17

22 May '17

There's a slight problem with the current function. Assume we are currently in a data section and we have say 42 bytes until next section (okay, in reality sections are capped to the sector size, but bear with me). Therefore, just before (handler) is called to fill up the buffer with data, @want is changed to 42 to match the amount of data left in the current section. However, after hole is processed, we are back in data section but with incredibly small @want size. Nobody will ever reset it back. This results in incredible data fragmentation.

[libvirt] Various apparmor related changes (part 1)
by Stefan Bader 22 May '17

22 May '17

Over the years there have been a bunch of changes to the apparmor profiles and/or virt-aa-helper which have been carried in Debian/Ubuntu but never made it upstream. In an attempt to clean this up and generally improve the apparmor based environments, we (Christian and I) went over the changes, cleaned out cruft as much as possible and would be sending out hunks of changes to this list for upstream inclusion. I hope doing multiple but smaller rounds of submissions will make it simpler to get those reviewed and hopefully accepted. This first batch contains a mix of changes from Debian and Ubuntu. Thanks, Stefan

[libvirt] [PATCH] Revert "qemu: propagate bridge MTU into qemu "host_mtu" option"
by Laine Stump 22 May '17

22 May '17

This reverts commit 2841e675. It turns out that adding the host_mtu field to the PCI capabilities in the guest bumps the length of PCI capabilities beyond the 32 byte boundary, so the virtio-net device gets 64 bytes of ioport space instead of 32, which offsets the address of all the other following devices. Migration doesn't work very well when the location and length of PCI capabilities of devices is changed between source and destination. This means that we need to make sure that the absence/presence of host_mtu on the qemu commandline always matches between source and destination, which means that we need to make setting of host_mtu an opt-in thing (it can't happen automatically when the bridge being used has a non-default MTU, which is what commit 2841e675 implemented). I do want to re-implement this feature with an <mtu auto='on'/> setting, but probably won't backport that to any stable branches, so I'm first reverting the original commit, and that revert can be pushed to the few releases that have been made since the original (3.1.0 - 3.3.0) Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1449346 --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 32 ++++++++++---------------------- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 3 +-- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 5 ++--- src/qemu/qemu_interface.c | 5 ++--- src/qemu/qemu_interface.h | 3 +-- 5 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 4c1a266..aa66e3d 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -3633,8 +3633,7 @@ qemuBuildNicDevStr(virDomainDefPtr def, int vlan, unsigned int bootindex, size_t vhostfdSize, - virQEMUCapsPtr qemuCaps, - unsigned int mtu) + virQEMUCapsPtr qemuCaps) { virBuffer buf = VIR_BUFFER_INITIALIZER;
