To be honest, calculating the CPU model name on the fly with strdup_s390_cpu_name() like you did above wouldn't be a problem to me. I just wanted to avoid having the same CPU model name logic (and special cases like "none") duplicated inside strdup_s390_cpu_name(), S390_PROC_DEF, s390_cpu_class_by_name(), and maybe other places. Maybe this duplication can be eliminated by simply reusing strdup_s390_cpu_name() inside s390_cpu_compare_class_name(). > > > I wonder if this class->model_name conversion could be made generic > > inside the CPU class.

It looks like we have conflicting expectations about query-cpu-definitions, it seems: on the one hand, if "-cpu none" is valid I believe it should appear on the query-cpu-definitions return value; on the other hand, it is not (always?) migration-safe, so just comparing the source query-cpus data with the target query-cpu-definitions data wouldn't be enough to ensure live-migration safety. On x86, we have a similar problem with "-cpu host", that changes depending on the host hardware and host kernel. We solve this problem by making libvirt code aware of the set of valid CPU models, and libvirt has special cases for "-cpu host". If you don't want to encode that knowledge in libvirt or other management software for s390, it looks like you need something like a "stable-abi-safe" field on CpuDefinitionInfo? > > > > > (I don't understand completely the meaning of "-cpu none" yet.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] fix 2 bugs in virHostdevReAttachPCIDevices
by Huanle Han 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Fix 1: Fix index error in loop after remove an element from the array 'virPCIDeviceList' is actually an array. Removing one element makes the rest of the element move. Use while loop, increase index only when not do 'virPCIDeviceListDel(pcidevs, dev)' Fix 2: In such a case: 1. Domain A and B xml contain the same SRIOV net hostdev(<interface type='hostdev' /> with same pci address). 2. virsh start A (Successfully, and configure the SRIOV net with custom mac) 3. virsh start B (Fail because of the hostdev used by domain A or other reason.) In step 3, 'virHostdevNetConfigRestore' is called for the hostdev which is still used by domain A. It makes the mac/vlan of the SRIOV net change. Code Change in this fix: 1. As the pci used by other domain have been removed from 'pcidevs' in previous loop, we only restore the nic config for the hostdev still in 'pcidevs'(used by this domain) 2. wrap a function 'virHostdevIsPCINetDevice', which detect whether the hostdev is a pci net device or not. 3. update the comments to make it more clear Huanle Han (2): hostdev: Fix index error in loop after remove an element hostdev: fix net config restore error src/util/virhostdev.c | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1
