[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] cpu_map: Add Icelake CPU models
by Jiri Denemark 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

The second patch mentions that ospke feature was removed in QEMU 3.0, see http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-09/msg02113.html for discussion about how to deal with removed CPU features.

[libvirt] [PATCH] virFileIsSharedFSType: Check for fuse.glusterfs too
by Michal Privoznik 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1632711 GlusterFS is typically safe when it comes to migration. It's a network FS after all. However, it can be mounted via FUSE driver they provide. If that is the case we fail to identify it and think migration is not safe and require VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE flag.

[libvirt] [PATCH] tests: reintroduce tests for libxl's legacy nested setting
by Jim Fehlig 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

The preferred location for setting the nested CPU flag changed in Xen 4.10 and is advertised via the LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_NESTED_HVM define. Commit 95d19cd0 changed libxl to use the new preferred location but unconditionally changed the tests, causing 'make check' failures against Xen < 4.10 that do not contain the new location. Commit e94415d5 fixed the failures by only running the tests when LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_NESTED_HVM is defined. Since libvirt supports several versions of Xen that use the old nested location, it is prudent to test the flag is set correctly. This patch reintroduces the tests for the legacy location of the nested setting. Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig(a)suse.com> --- We could probably get by with one test for the old nested location, in which case I'd drop vnuma-hvm-legacy-nest.

[libvirt] Release of libvirt-4.8.0
by Daniel Veillard 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

It is out, as planned, tagged in git, the signed tarball and rpms are at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also make a python binding release which include event testing updates, you can find those at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ This is a relatively large release considering the number of patches going in please note the Removed Feature section below: New features: - Xen: Support PM Suspend and Wakeup The libxl driver now supports the virDomainPMSuspendForDuration and virDomainPMWakeup APIs. Removed features: - Xen: Drop support for Xen 4.4 and 4.5 Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported by the Xen community. Drop support for these older versions and require Xen >= 4.6. - nwfilter: Disallow binding creation in session mode Ensure that a filter binding creation is not attempted in session mode and generates a proper error message. Improvements: - qemu: Retrieve guest hostname through QEMU Guest Agent command QEMU is now able to retrieve the guest hostname using a new QEMU-GA command called 'guest-get-host-name'. Virsh users can execute 'domhostname' for QEMU driver for domains configured to use the Guest Agent. - virsh: Implement vsh-table in virsh and virsh-admin The new API fixes problems with table-alignment, making the tables more readable and deals with unicode. Bug fixes: - storage: Allow inputvol to be encrypted When creating a storage volume based on another volume, the base input volume is allowed to be encrypted. - virsh: Require explicit --domain for domxml-to-native The --domain option for domxml-to-native virsh command has always been documented as required, but commit v4.3.0-127-gd86531daf2 accidentally made it optional. - lxc_monitor: Avoid AB / BA lock race A deadlock situation could occur when autostarting a LXC domain 'guest' due to two threads attempting to take opposing locks while holding opposing locks (AB BA problem). Thanks everybody for your help with this release. Enjoy !
