[PATCH RESEND 00/20] handle missing SR-IOV VF hostdevs during running domains
by Daniel Henrique Barboza
This is the rebased version of
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-January/msg00028.html
with master at 57b1ddcaaa5b5. No changes made aside from trivial conflicts
fixes.
I also removed the military jargon from the previous subject to make it
clear what this series is doing.
Daniel Henrique Barboza (20):
virpci, domain_audit: use virPCIDeviceAddressAsString()
qemu, lxc: move NodeDeviceGetPCIInfo() function to domain_driver.c
domain_driver.c: use PCI address with
virDomainDriverNodeDeviceGetPCIInfo()
virpci.c: simplify virPCIDeviceNew() signature
virpci: introduce virPCIDeviceExists()
virhostdev.c: virHostdevGetPCIHostDevice() now reports missing device
security_selinux.c: modernize set/restore hostdev subsys label
functions
security_dac.c: modernize hostdev label set/restore functions
dac, selinux: skip setting/restoring label for absent PCI devices

[libvirt PATCH] qemu_validate: Allow kvm hint-dedicated on non-passthrough VMs
by Tim Wiederhake
A VM defined similar to:
...
<features><kvm><hint-dedicated state='on'/></kvm></features>
<cpu mode="host-model"/>
...
is currently invalid, as hint-dedicated is only allowed if cpu mode
is host-passthrough. This restriction is unnecessary, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1857671.

[PATCH] qemu: add delay time cpu stats
by Aleksei Zakharov
This commit adds delay time (steal time inside guest) to libvirt
domain CPU stats. It's more convenient to work with this statistic
in a context of libvirt domain. Any monitoring software may use
this information.
As an example: the next step is to add support to
libvirt-go and expose metrics with libvirt-exporter.

[libvirt PATCH v3 00/21] Add support for persistent mediated devices
by Jonathon Jongsma
This patch series follows the previously-merged series which added support for
transient mediated devices. This series expands mdev support to include
persistent device definitions. Again, it relies on mdevctl as the backend.
It follows the common libvirt pattern of APIs by adding the following new APIs
for node devices:
- virNodeDeviceDefineXML() - defines a persistent device
- virNodeDeviceUndefine() - undefines a persistent device
- virNodeDeviceCreate() - starts a previously-defined device
It also adds virsh commands mapping to these new APIs: nodedev-define,
nodedev-undefine, and nodedev-start.
Since we rely on mdevctl for the definition of ediated devices, we need a way
to stay up-to-date with devices that are defined by mdevctl (outside of
libvirt). The method for staying up-to-date is currently a little bit crude
due to the fact that mdevctl does not emit any events when new devices are
added or removed. As a workaround, we create a file monitor for the mdevctl
config directory and re-query mdevctl when we detect changes within that
directory. In the future, mdevctl may introduce a more elegant solution.
changes in v3:
- streamlined tests -- removed some unnecessary duplication
- split out patch to factor out node device name generation function
- split nodeDeviceParseMdevctlChildDevice() into a separate function
- added follow-up patch to remove space-padded alignment in header
- refactored the mdevctl update handling significantly:
- no longer a separate persistent thread that gets signaled by a timer
- now piggybacks onto the existing udev thread and signals the thread in t=
he
same way that the udev event does.
- Daniel suggested spawning a throw-away thread to handle mdevctl updates,
but that introduces the complexity of possibly serializing multiple
throw-away threads (e.g. if we get an 'created' event followed immediate=
ly
by a 'deleted' event, two threads may be spawned and we'd need to ensure
they are properly ordered)
- added virNodeDeviceObjListForEach() and virNodeDeviceObjListRemoveLocked()
to simplify removing devices that are removed from mdevctl.
- coding style fixes
- NOTE: per Erik's request, I experimented with changing the way that mdevctl
commands were generated and tested (e.g. introducing something like
virMdevctlGetCommand(def, MDEVCTL_COMMAND_<SUBCOMMAND>, ...)), but it was
too invasive and awkward and didn't seem worthwhile
Changes in v2:
- rebase to latest git master
Jonathon Jongsma (21):
tests: remove extra trailing semicolon
nodedev: introduce concept of 'active' node devices
nodedev: Add ability to filter by active state

[PATCH 00/10] Introduce virtio-mem <memory/> model
by Michal Privoznik
Technically, this is another version of:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-December/msg00199.html
But since virtio-pmem part is pushed now, I've reworked virtio-mem a bit
and sending it as a new series.
For curious ones, David summarized behaviour well when implementing
virtio-mem support in kernel:
https://lwn.net/Articles/755423/
For less curious ones:
# virsh update-memory $dom --requested-size 4G
adds additional 4GiB of RAM to guest;
# virsh update-memory $dom --requested-size 0
removes those 4GiB added earlier.
Patches are also available on my GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/MichalPrivoznik/libvirt/-/tree/virtio_mem_v3
Michal Prívozník (10):
virhostmem: Introduce virHostMemGetTHPSize()
qemu_capabilities: Introduce QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIRTIO_MEM_PCI
conf: Introduce virtio-mem <memory/> model
qemu: Build command line for virtio-mem
qemu: Wire up <memory/> live update
qemu: Wire up MEMORY_DEVICE_SIZE_CHANGE event
qemu: Refresh the actual size of virtio-mem on monitor reconnect
qemu: Recalculate balloon on MEMORY_DEVICE_SIZE_CHANGE event and
reconnect
virsh: Introduce update-memory command

[libvirt PATCH 00/16] expose tainting and deprecations in public API
by Daniel P. Berrangé
Libvirt has a notion of "tainting" which we use to mark a guest which
has some undesirable configuration or behaviour from libvirt's POV.
This ends up in the libvirtd logs and in the per-VM log file, but is
not exposed to management applications directly.
QMP has the ability to report whether a CPU or machine type is
deprecated.
QEMU itself prints warnings to stderr which end up in the per VM log:
2021-01-22T12:22:53.566239Z qemu-system-x86_64: Machine type 'pc-1.3' is depr=
ecated: use a newer machine type instead
2021-01-22T12:22:53.566613Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning: CPU model Icelake-Cl=
ient-x86_64-cpu is deprecated -- use Icelake-Server instead
We can use the deprecation info from QMP to add tainting to the
domain too. This will appear in the pre-VM log file again:
2021-01-22 12:22:53.492+0000: Domain id=3D2 is tainted: deprecated-configurat=
ion (machine type 'pc-1.3')
2021-01-22 12:22:53.492+0000: Domain id=3D2 is tainted: deprecated-configurat=
ion (CPU model 'Icelake-Client')
and more usefully in the libvirtd log
2021-01-22 13:18:09.619+0000: 3299849: warning :
qemuDomainObjTaintMsg:6208 :
Domain id=3D3 name=3D'demo' uuid=3Deadf8ef0-bf14-4c5f-9708-4a19bacf9e81
is tainted: deprecated-configuration (machine type 'pc-1.3')
2021-01-22 13:18:09.619+0000: 3299849: warning :
qemuDomainObjTaintMsg:6208 :

is tainted: deprecated-configuration (CPU model 'Icelake-Client')
This series goes further and also exposes the deprecation info in the
capabilities (machine types) or domain capabilities (CPU) XML. This
lets mgmt apps avoid using the feature upfront if desired.
Finally both deprecation messages and tainting flags are exposed in
new public APIs, and wired into virsh

The deprecations API is simple, just returning a list of free form
opaque strings, which are eeffectively warning messages.
I'm not entirely convinced by tainting API though. I didn't especially
want to expose the virDomainTaintFlags enum in the public API since it
feels like the enum flags are (almost) all QEMU driver specific. I thus
took the approach of having an API return opaque strings which are
declared to be hypervisor specific.
I'm worried though that mgmt apps will none the less simply match on
the strings to detect things, at which point we might as well just use
an enum after all.
So perhaps it should just be turned into
virDomainGetTainting(virDomainPtr obj,
int **codes,
unsigned int flags);
enum virDomainTaintCodes {
....
}

[PATCH] qemu: Replace deprecated short-form boolean options
by Han Han
Since the commit ccd3b3b811 of QEMU, the short-form boolean options in
qemu cmdline like "server", "nowait", "disable-ticketing" are deprecated:
qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,fd=38,server,nowait: warning: short-form boolean option 'server' deprecated
Please use server=on instead
qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,fd=38,server,nowait: warning: short-form boolean option 'nowait' deprecated
Please use wait=off instead
qemu-system-x86_64: -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,plaintext-channel=main,plaintext-channel=inputs,image-compression=auto_glz,jpeg-wan-compression=auto,zlib-glz-wan-compression=auto,playback-compression=on,streaming-video=filter,disable-copy-paste,disable-agent-file-xfer,seamless-migration=on: warning: short-form boolean option 'disable-ticketing' deprecated
Please use disable-ticketing=on instead
Use normal form boolean options with value "on" or "off".
