[libvirt] [PATCH 0/6] Enhancements in CPU selection
by Jiri Denemark
The main goal of this series is to provide an easy way to say that a guest CPU
should match host. Details can be found in individual patches.
Jiri Denemark (6):
tests: Print XML file name in verbose CPU test
cpu: Optionally forbid fallback CPU models
Add support for cpu mode attribute
cpu: Update guest CPU in host-* mode
Taint domains configured with cpu mode=host-passthrough
qemu: Add support for host CPU modes

Exactly. We should have QMP_JOB_COMPLETED instead of BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED,
for example.

Let me try to understand it: is libvirt relying on an off tree API and
we are now required to have stable guarantees to off tree APIs?
I can't even express how insane this looks to me, at least not without
being too harsh.

[libvirt] [PATCH] snapshot: allow reuse of existing files in disk snapshot
by Eric Blake
When disk snapshots were first implemented, libvirt blindly refused
to allow an external snapshot destination that already exists, since
qemu will blindly overwrite the contents of that file during the
snapshot_blkdev monitor command, and we don't like a default of
data loss by default. But VDSM has a scenario where NFS permissions
are intentionally set so that the destination file can only be
created by the management machine, and not the machine where the
guest is running, so that libvirt will necessarily see the destination
file already existing; adding a flag will allow VDSM to force the file
reuse without libvirt complaining of possible data loss.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767104
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSnapshotCreateFlags): Add
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REUSE_EXT.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Document it. Add
note about partial failure.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCreate, cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Add new
flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create, snapshot-create-as): Document
it.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepare)
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Implement the new flag.

I'm not sure I have the best name for the proposed flag; alternative
suggestions are welcome.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: check for kvm availability before starting kvm guests
by Laine Stump
This *kind of* addresses:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772395
(it doesn't eliminate the failure to start, but causes libvirt to give
a better idea about the cause of the failure).
If a guest uses a kvm emulator (e.g. /usr/bin/qemu-kvm) and the guest
is started when kvm isn't available (either because virtualization is
unavailable / has been disabled in the BIOS, or the kvm modules
haven't been loaded for some reason), a semi-cryptic error message is
logged:
libvirtError: internal error Child process (LC_ALL=C
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -device ? -device
pci-assign,? -device virtio-blk-pci,? -device virtio-net-pci,?) status
unexpected: exit status 1
This patch notices at process start that a guest needs kvm, and checks
for the presence of /dev/kvm (a reasonable indicator that kvm is
available) before trying to execute the qemu binary. If kvm isn't
available, a more useful (too verbose??) error is logged.

It should be a copy-paste error, the result is programming will result in an

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] New command for changing media of changeable disk
by Osier Yang
This is an improved version of :
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-December/msg00976.html
The changes are:
* New helper functions to find and change the disk XML
* Use the helper functions in cmdDetachDisk
* Merge insert-media and eject-media as change-media
* Support --update option.
[PATCH 0/4] introduces two new helper functions: vshFindDisk is to find
the disk XML node in xml doc with the flags (indicates it's normal disk
or changeable disk). VshPrepareDiskXML is to prepare the disk XML for
disk changing commands' use. Such as detach-disk. The purpose of this
patch is to prepare for upcoming new command "change-disk", which will
use the two helper functions too.
NB, as I explained previously, the new QEMU commands to separate tray
and media management shouldn't block us.
[PATCH 1/4] virsh: Two new helper functions for disk device changes
[PATCH 2/4] virsh: Use vshFindDisk and vshPrepareDiskXML in
[PATCH 3/4] virsh: New command cmdChangeMedia
[PATCH 4/4] virsh: Add document for cmdChangeMedia
