Otherwise the private data entry would be kept across instances of the same VM even if it's not configured to do so.

[libvirt] [PATCH] test: fixing variable names for test suite inside configure.ac.

[libvirt] [RFC] Fixing a regression caused by recent CPU driver changes
by Jiri Denemark 23 May '17

23 May '17

Hi all, when I was enhancing libvirt's guest CPU configuration code to be able to really ensure stable guest CPU ABI, I added a new attribute //cpu/@check which is nicely backward compatible... an old libvirt will just ignore it. However, even if check='full' will be ignored, an old libvirt will still see the updated CPU definition (features added or removed by the hypervisor will be shown there). And because we need QEMU 2.9.0 to check what features are going to be added or removed before we actually start the domain, migrating such domain to an older libvirt or QEMU may fail if QEMU enables a feature which is not supported by the host CPU. Known features causing problems are, e.g., x2apic, hypervisor, and arat. To make things even worse, updating a CPU definition with the automatically added/removed features can be done since QEMU 1.5.0. Even save/restore or snapshot revert on a single host running new libvirt and QEMU < 2.9.0 is now affected by this regression. The big question is how to fix the regression in a backward compatible way and still keep the ability to properly check guest CPU ABI with new enough libvirt and QEMU. Clearly, we need to keep both the original and the updated CPU definition (or one of them and a diff against the other). I came up with the following options: 1. When migrating a domain, the domain XML would contain the original CPU def while the updated one would be transferred in a migration cookie. - doesn't fix save/restore or snapshot revert - could be fixed by not updating the CPU with QEMU < 2.9.0, but it won't work when restore is done on a different host with older QEMU (and yes, this happens in real life, e.g., with oVirt) - doesn't even fix migration after save/restore or snapshot revert 2. Use migration cookie and change the save image format to contain additional data (something like migration cookie) which a new libvirt could make use of while old libvirt would ignore any additional data it doesn't know about - snapshot XML would need to be updated too, but that's trivial - cleanly changing save image format requires its version to be increased and old libvirt will just refuse to read such image - this would fix save/restore on the same host or on a host with older QEMU - doesn't fix restore on a different host running older libvirt - even this is done by oVirt 3. Use migration cookie and change the save image format without increasing its version (and update snapshot XML) - this fixes all cases - technically possible by using one of the unused 32b ints and adding \0 at the end of the domain XML followed by anothe XML with the additional data (pointed to by the formerly unused uint32_t) - very ugly hack 4. Format both CPUs in domain XML by adding a new subelement in <cpu> which would list all extra features disabled or enabled by QEMU - fixes all cases without the need to use migration cookie, change save image format, or snapshot XML - but it may be very confusing for users and it would need to be documented as "output only, don't touch staff" 5. Add the additional data in <metadata> - a bad joke really So my preferred solution is 2. It breaks restore on a host with older libvirt, but it was never guaranteed to work, even though it usually just worked. And we could just tell oVirt to fix there usage :-) Also additional data in save image header may be very useful in the future; I think I remember someone sighing about the inability to store more than just domain XML in a saved image when they were trying to fix some compatibility issues. Any thoughts about the options or even completely new ideas are very welcome. Thanks, Jirka

[libvirt] [PATCH V2 0/2] Define macro for IPv4 loopback address and use it in libxl
by Jim Fehlig 23 May '17

23 May '17

V2 of https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-May/msg00616.html While reviewing V1, Joao suggesting adding a macro for the various hardcoded "127.0.0.1" used throughout the code. Patch 1 does that. Patch2 is improved in V2 to include setting the listen address for spice as well as VNC.

[libvirt] Various apparmor related changes (part 1), version 2
by Stefan Bader 23 May '17

23 May '17

> Over the years there have been a bunch of changes to the > apparmor profiles and/or virt-aa-helper which have been > carried in Debian/Ubuntu but never made it upstream. > > In an attempt to clean this up and generally improve the > apparmor based environments, we (Christian and I) went > over the changes, cleaned out cruft as much as possible > and would be sending out hunks of changes to this list > for upstream inclusion. > > I hope doing multiple but smaller rounds of submissions > will make it simpler to get those reviewed and hopefully > accepted. For the second version I added acks, merged the patches related to explicit device denials and local apparmor profiles, and split the 9p support one (holding back the part allowing link access for later or to be replaced by a safer solution). I also tried to improve the explanation in the description of patch #1 (virt-aa-helper: Ask for no deny rule for readonly disk elements). Thanks, Stefan
