[libvirt] [PATCH 00/23] Fix host-model if the chosen CPU model has more features in QEMU compared to our cpu_map.xml
by Jiri Denemark 15 Oct '26

15 Oct '26

When decoding CPUID data to virCPUDef we need to be careful about using a CPU model which cannot be directly used on the current host. Normally, libvirt would notice the features which prevent the model from being usable and it would disable them in the computed virCPUDef, but this won't work in case the definition of the CPU model in QEMU contains more features than what we have in cpu_map.xml. We need to count with the usability blockers we got from QEMU and explicitly disable all of them to make the computed virCPUDef usable. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1464832 Jiri Denemark (23): util: Introduce virStringListCopy conf: Add usability blockers to virDomainCapsCPUModel qemu: Store CPU usability blockers in caps cache qemu: Parse unavailable features for CPU models cpu: Use virDomainCapsCPUModelsPtr in cpu driver APIs cpu: Drop unused parameter from cpuDecode cpu: Return model from virCPUModelIsAllowed cpu_x86: Move x86FeatureFind* to avoid forward prototypes cpu_x86: Disable blockers from unusable CPU models cputest: Replace json bool with enum cputest: Avoid calling json_reformat in cpu-parse.sh cputest: Print correct feature in virCPUUpdateLive test cputest: Test CPU usability blockers cputest: Separate QEMUCaps creation from cpuTestCPUIDJson build: Export virCPUModelIsAllowed private API cputest: Use CPU models from QEMU when available cputest: Add query-cpu-definitions reply for Core-i5-2540M cputest: Add CPUID data for Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-4830 cputest: Add query-cpu-definitions reply for Xeon-E7-4830 cputest: Update Xeon-E3-1245 data cputest: Add query-cpu-definitions reply for Xeon-E3-1245 cputest: Update Core-i7-2600 data cputest: Make a crippled version of Core-i7-2600 src/conf/domain_capabilities.c | 30 +- src/conf/domain_capabilities.h | 7 +- src/cpu/cpu.c | 95 +- src/cpu/cpu.h | 31 +- src/cpu/cpu_arm.c | 3 +- src/cpu/cpu_ppc64.c | 14 +- src/cpu/cpu_x86.c | 108 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/libxl/libxl_capabilities.c | 2 +- src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 123 +-- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 6 +- src/qemu/qemu_capspriv.h | 5 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c | 26 +- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 9 +- src/test/test_driver.c | 2 +- src/util/virstring.c | 37 + src/util/virstring.h | 3 + tests/cputest.c | 324 ++++-- tests/cputestdata/cpu-cpuid.py | 26 +- tests/cputestdata/cpu-gather.sh | 1 + tests/cputestdata/cpu-parse.sh | 2 +- tests/cputestdata/cpu-reformat.py | 9 + tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Core-i5-2540M.json | 362 +++++++ .../x86_64-cpuid-Core-i7-2600-disabled.xml | 1 -

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix python error reporting for some storage operations
by Cole Robinson 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In the python bindings, all vir* classes expect to be passed a virConnect object when instantiated. Before the storage stuff, these classes were only instantiated in virConnect methods, so the generator is hardcoded to pass 'self' as the connection instance to these classes. Problem is there are some methods that return pool or vol instances which aren't called from virConnect: you can lookup a storage volume's associated pool, and can lookup volumes from a pool. In these cases passing 'self' doesn't give the vir* instance a connection, so when it comes time to raise an exception crap hits the fan. Rather than rework the generator to accomodate this edge case, I just fixed the init functions for virStorage* to pull the associated connection out of the passed value if it's not a virConnect instance.

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

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? -- Regards, Anthony Liguori

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Honour <on_reboot/>
by Michal Privoznik 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476866 For some reason, we completely ignore <on_reboot/> setting for domains. The implementation is simply not there. It never was. However, things are slightly more complicated. QEMU sends us two RESET events on domain reboot. Fortunately, the event contains this 'guest' field telling us who initiated the reboot. And since we don't want to destroy the domain if the reset is initiated by a user, we have to ignore those events. Whatever, just look at the code.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: cpu: fix fullCPU to include all emulatable qemu features
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

On Core i5 650 guest fail to start with error [1] if guest cpu config is taken from domcapabilities and check is set to partial. The problem is in qemu caps fullCPU calculation in virQEMUCapsInitHostCPUModel. It is supposed to include features emulated by qemu and missed on host. Some of such features may be not included however. For mentioned cpu host cpu is detected as Westmere and guest cpu as SandyBridge. x2apic is missed on host and provided by installed qemu. The feature is not mentioned in guest cpu features explicitly because SandyBridge model include it. As a result fullCPU does not include x2apic too. Solution is to expand guest cpu features before updating fullCPU features.

[libvirt] [[RFC] 0/8] Implement async QEMU event handling in libvirtd.
by Prerna Saxena 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

As noted in https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-May/msg00016.html libvirt-QEMU driver handles all async events from the main loop. Each event handling needs the per-VM lock to make forward progress. In the case where an async event is received for the same VM which has an RPC running, the main loop is held up contending for the same lock. This impacts scalability, and should be addressed on priority. Note that libvirt does have a 2-step deferred handling for a few event categories, but (1) That is insufficient since blockign happens before the handler could disambiguate which one needs to be posted to this other queue. (2) There needs to be homogeniety. The current series builds a framework for recording and handling VM events. It initializes per-VM event queue, and a global event queue pointing to events from all the VMs. Event handling is staggered in 2 stages: - When an event is received, it is enqueued in the per-VM queue as well as the global queues. - The global queue is built into the QEMU Driver as a threadpool (currently with a single thread). - Enqueuing of a new event triggers the global event worker thread, which then attempts to take a lock for this event's VM. - If the lock is available, the event worker runs the function handling this event type. Once done, it dequeues this event from the global as well as per-VM queues. - If the lock is unavailable(ie taken by RPC thread), the event worker thread leaves this as-is and picks up the next event. - Once the RPC thread completes, it looks for events pertaining to the VM in the per-VM event queue. It then processes the events serially (holding the VM lock) until there are no more events remaining for this VM. At this point, the per-VM lock is relinquished. Patch Series status: Strictly RFC only. No compilation issues. I have not had a chance to (stress) test it after rebase to latest master. Note that documentation and test coverage is TBD, since a few open points remain. Known issues/ caveats: - RPC handling time will become non-deterministic. - An event will only be "notified" to a client once the RPC for same VM completes. - Needs careful consideration in all cases where a QMP event is used to "signal" an RPC thread, else will deadlock. Will be happy to drive more discussion in the community and completely implement it. Prerna Saxena (8): Introduce virObjectTrylock() QEMU Event handling: Introduce async event helpers in qemu_event.[ch] Setup global and per-VM event queues. Also initialize per-VM queues when libvirt reconnects to an existing VM. Events: Allow monitor to "enqueue" events to a queue. Also introduce a framework of handlers for each event type, that can be called when the handler is running an event. Events: Plumb event handling calls before a domain's APIs complete. Code refactor: Move helper functions of doCoreDump*, syncNicRxFilter*, and qemuOpenFile* to qemu_process.[ch] Fold back the 2-stage event implementation for a few events : Watchdog, Monitor EOF, Serial changed, Guest panic, Nic RX filter changed .. into single level.
