by Peter Krempa
First patch is not entirely relevant in this series.
Peter Krempa (5):
qemu: domain: Use VIR_AUTOFREE in
qemuDomainObjPrivateXMLParseBlockjobs
qemu: hotplug: Remove unused copies of virQEMUDriverConfigPtr
qemu: hotplug: Use VIR_AUTOUNREF for virQEMUDriverConfigPtr

[libvirt] Can jobs suck like qemu-pr-helper does be transfered to libvirtd?
by Zhangbo (Oscar)
Hi all:
qemu-pr-helper exits to help qemu do the high-privileged scsi related jobs. LIBVIRTD is responsible to launch qemu-pr-helper and qemu, and set selinux/DAC labels for them and their socket.
#
#
#
#
# ___________
# ___________|libvirtd |__________
# | |___________| |
# | | |
# | | |
# _________|________ _____|______ ___|____
# | qemu-pr-helper |__| vm1.sock |_____| qemu1 |
# |__________________| |____________| |________|
There may be other jobs quite like qemu-pr-helper, shall we make them as "complex" as the qemu-pr-helper scheme?
Will it be OK to just let qemu send an EVENT to libvirtd, and let libvirtd do the SCSI/other jobs? Will it be OK if we remove qemu-pr-helper and similar processes?
What's the disadvantage if we let libvirtd do there high privileged jobs instead qemu-pr-helper-like processes?
Thanks!

[libvirt] vcpupin reports bogus vcpu affinities
by Allen, John
Sent this out to the list a few days ago, but never saw it appear on the
archives. Resending--hopefully this makes it to the list.
---
For pinned vcpus, vcpupin will report inaccurate affinity values on machines
with high core counts (256 cores in my case). The problem is produced as
follows:
$ virsh vcpupin myguest 0 4
$ virsh vcpupin myguest 0
VCPU CPU Affinity
---------------------------
0 4,192,194,196-197
Running taskset on the qemu threads shows the correct affinity, so this seems
to be a reporting problem. Strangely, the value "192" is significant. If I pin
a cpu greater than 192, the problem no longer appears.
I believe the cause of the problem in my case is that in this case in
src/conf/domain_conf.c:virDomainDefGetVcpuPinInfoHelper:
...
if (vcpu && vcpu->cpumask)
bitmap = vcpu->cpumask;
...
vcpu->cpumask is "shortened" in that it is only long enough to contain the last
set bit in the mask. However, when we go to copy the mask to the buffer that is
returned, we use the masklen passed to the function which is the "full"
masklen with a bit for each cpu. So it seems virBitmapToDataBuf copies some
extra data past the end of the bitmask. Why the "192" value is always set and I
typically see similar bogus bits set is still unknown.
What is the function meant to assume in this case? Is it sane to assume that
the bitmask is the full length of the buffer here and it's the responsibility
of the setter of vcpu->cpumask to provide the length of the bitmap we're
expecting? Or should we assume that we may receive a shortened bitmask here and
expand the bitmask before copying to the buffer?

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/7] extend virsh domstate to show additional information
by Bjoern Walk
This patch series introduces the ability to save additional information
for the domain state and exposes this information in virsh domstate.
For example in the case of QEMU guest panic events, we can provide additional
information like the crash reason or register state of the domain. This
information usually gets logged in the domain log but for debugging it is
useful to have it accessible from the client. Therefore, let's introduce a new
public API function, virDomainGetStateParams, an extensible version of
virDomainGetState, which returns the complete state of the domain, including
newly introduced additional information.
Let's also extend virsh domstate and introduce a new parameter --info to show
the domain state, reason and additional information when available.
virsh domstate --info guest1
crashed (panicked: s390: core='1' psw-mask='0x1234000000000000' \
psw-addr='0x0000000000001234' reason='disabled-wait')
Previous version is here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-July/msg00686.html
v1 -> v2:
* refactored the public API according to discussions to provide a
more machine-parsable interface
Bjoern Walk (7):
qemu: monitor: move event data structure to domain
qemu: domain: store and update panic info
lib: introduce virDomainGetStateParams function
remote: implement remoteDomainGetStateParams
qemu: implement qemuDomainGetStateParams
virsh: domstate: report detailed state if available
news: add entry for virDomainGetStateParams
