vhost-user-blk bypasses the QEMU block layer, so NBD storage migration
at the QEMU level will not work for the vhost-user-blk disk.

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori
Disclaimer: I am neither an SR-IOV nor a vhost-net expert, but I've CC'd
people that are who can throw tomatoes at me for getting bits wrong :-)
I wanted to start a discussion about supporting vhost-net in libvirt.
vhost-net has not yet been merged into qemu but I expect it will be soon
so it's a good time to start this discussion.
There are two modes worth supporting for vhost-net in libvirt. The
first mode is where vhost-net backs to a tun/tap device. This is
behaves in very much the same way that -net tap behaves in qemu today.
Basically, the difference is that the virtio backend is in the kernel
instead of in qemu so there should be some performance improvement.
Current, libvirt invokes qemu with -net tap,fd=X where X is an already
open fd to a tun/tap device. I suspect that after we merge vhost-net,
libvirt could support vhost-net in this mode by just doing -net
vhost,fd=X. I think the only real question for libvirt is whether to
provide a user visible switch to use vhost or to just always use vhost
when it's available and it makes sense. Personally, I think the later
makes sense.
The more interesting invocation of vhost-net though is one where the
vhost-net device backs directly to a physical network card. In this
mode, vhost should get considerably better performance than the current
implementation. I don't know the syntax yet, but I think it's
reasonable to assume that it will look something like -net
tap,dev=eth0. The effect will be that eth0 is dedicated to the guest.
On most modern systems, there is a small number of network devices so
this model is not all that useful except when dealing with SR-IOV
adapters. In that case, each physical device can be exposed as many
virtual devices (VFs). There are a few restrictions here though. The
biggest is that currently, you can only change the number of VFs by
reloading a kernel module so it's really a parameter that must be set at
startup time.
I think there are a few ways libvirt could support vhost-net in this
second mode. The simplest would be to introduce a new tag similar to
<source network='br0'>. In fact, if you probed the device type for the
network parameter, you could probably do something like <source
network='eth0'> and have it Just Work.
Another model would be to have libvirt see an SR-IOV adapter as a
network pool whereas it handled all of the VF management. Considering
how inflexible SR-IOV is today, I'm not sure whether this is the best model.
Has anyone put any more thought into this problem or how this should be
modeled in libvirt? Michael, could you share your current thinking for
-net syntax?

[libvirt PATCH] qemu_firmware: don't error out for unknown firmware features
by Pavel Hrdina
When QEMU introduces new firmware features libvirt will fail until we
list that feature in our code as well which doesn't sound right.
We should simply ignore the new feature until we add a proper support
for it.

[RFC] Allowing SEV attestation
by Michal Prívozník
Dear list,
in the light of recent development of secure virtualization (for instance AMD
SEV-SNP [1]) I'd like us to be prepared for when QEMU adopts these new
technologies and thus would like to discuss our options. So far, I've came
across AMD SEV-SNP [2]. While it's true that we do support SEV, we need to
adopt its newer version too.
Consider the following example: you loan a VM on a public cloud and you want
to process some private data there. Of course, the data has to be stored on an
encrypted disk/partition. But encrypting guest memory (confidentiality)
prevents you only from finding the key in a memory dump. It doesn't help if
the guest image, initial guest memory, hypervisor or firmware were tampered with.
This is where attestation comes to help - it enables the guest owner (which in
this example is different to the one running it) verify - with cryptographic
level of confidence - that data confidentiality and integrity can be ensured.
Depending on the technology, attestation will be done at different times in
the VM lifecycle. When it's done before starting guest vCPUs, it's called
pre-attestation and when it's done after the guest has launched, it's called
post-attestation. For example, AMD SEV and SEV-ES require pre-attestation.
SEV-SNP allows for post attestation. The crux of the issue here is that *when*
and *how* the guest owner will interact with the VM for attestation will be
different depending on which technology is being used.
It looks like QEMU will expose commands needed for attestation via QMP [3].
But question then is, how to expose those at Libvirt level? Should we allow
users to bypass Libvirt and communicate to QEMU directly or wrap those QMPs in
public APIs, or something completely different?
Will those APIs be generic enough to serve other technologies too? For
instance, given set of APIs in given order works for SEV but might not work
for Intel's TDX.

set custom loglevel for external libraries
by Olaf Hering
In src/libxl/libxl_conf.c:libxlDriverConfigInit, virLogGetDefaultPriority is used to specify the (private) loglevel of an external library. This value could be controlled via "log_level=N" in libvirtd.conf. But doing it that way will affect libvirtd itself, instead of libxenlight.so as intended. There might be ways to suppress everything but libxl output via "log_filters=", but it is not clear what the syntax would be.
I wonder what the preferred way is to specify the desired loglevel for the external library. It seems a separate configuration setting is required so that each value of XTL_* from xentoollog.h can be specified.
