I certainly didn't test it. So feel free to drop that line altogether.

You might have several devices that are part of the same IOMMU group that you don't mind giving up from the host, but don't want to supply all of them to the guest. This would be an alternative to using ACS patch in these situations. One example is having two nvme drives in a single IOMMU group, you will be able to pass a single one to the guest rather than being forced to pass both.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] security: Don't remember labels for TPM
by Michal Privoznik 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

As it turns out, /dev/tpm0 can't be opened more than once. This doesn't fit into our seclabel remembering approach and thus disable it for TPM devices. There's also another type of files which can't be opened more than once - /dev/vfio/N. Usually, this won't be a problem unless users try to attach/detach some devices from the same IOMMU group. This will require more treatment though because it's broken on more levels. 1) we remove /dev/vfio/N in private devtmpfs on device detach, even though there is another device still attached to domain from the same IOMMU group, 2) we remove the IOMMU group from CGroups, i.e. we effectively deny access to qemu 3) we restore seclabels (regardless of seclabel remembering) Therefore, I'm only addressing TPM issue here and will continue work on hostdevs. Michal Prívozník (3): security: Try to lock only paths with remember == true security_dac: Allow selective remember/recall for chardevs security: Don't remember labels for TPM src/security/security_dac.c | 91 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------- src/security/security_selinux.c | 16 +++--- 2 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) -- 2.21.0

[libvirt] [PATCH] security: apparmor: Allow RO /usr/share/edk2/

On Fedora, already whitelisted paths to AAVMF and OVMF binaries are symlinks to binaries under /usr/share/edk2/.

[libvirt] [jenkins-ci PATCH] lcitool: Force LANG=en_US.UTF-8 for the containers
by Fabiano Fidêncio 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

As we cannot and should not rely on how the containers were generated, let's force the container LANG to be en_US.UTF-8 otherwise some containers (Debian 9, Ubuntu 16, and Ubuntu 18) would simply bail when dealing with environment variables inherited from Gitlab CI which contains non-POSIX characteres, such as "Fidêncio". Unfortunately, there's no standard way to do this accross different distros, leaving us with this "happy little accident" of setting up LANG in the way it's done right now.

[libvirt] Fwd: Libvirt-QEMU : Multiplex the output from qemu's serial port to a pty as well as a file (basically redirect console to file as well as pty device)
by gokul cg 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

+dev Hi Folks , As per https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsConsole Regardless of the type, character devices can have an optional log file associated with them. Whether the lgging functionality is same as mapping device to file ? Whether libvirt xml syntax below both 1 and 2 are same ? 1) <serial type='pty'> <log file='/var/lib/nova/instances/7151c8b7-1ea5-4701-bb79-b482d9e253b8/console.log' append='off'/> <target port='0'/> </serial> 2) <serial type='pty'> <source path='/tmp/serial.log'/> <target port='0'/> </serial> is it possible to multiplex the output from qemu's serial port to a pty as well as a file (basically redirect console to file as well as pty device)? Regards Gokul
