[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu_capabilities: Use proper free function for caps->cpuModels
by Michal Privoznik
The cpuModels member of _virQEMUCapsAccel struct is not a
virObject but regular struct with a free function defined:
qemuMonitorCPUDefsFree(). Use that when clearing parent structure
instead of virObjectUnref() to avoid a memleak:
==212322== 57,275 (48 direct, 57,227 indirect) bytes in 3 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 623 of 627

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/4] qemu: fix type of default video device
by Pavel Mores
This new version mostly integrates Cole's comments about the second version.
Refactoring and behaviour change are now separate commits. Tests succeed for
every individual patch in the series.
Pavel Mores (4):
qemu: default video device type selection algoritm moved into its own
function
qemu: prepare existing test for change of the default video device
type
qemu: the actual change of default video devide type selection
algorithm
qemu: added tests of the new default video type selection algorithm

ruby_libvirt_value_to_int() returns 0 if the optional value is
not defined, but in node_cpu_stats() and node_memory_stats()
the default value of cpuNum and cellNum is -1.

Yes, and because it affects live migration ability, we have two
constraints:
1) It needs to be exposed in the libvirt domain XML;
2) QEMU and libvirt can't choose a value that works for everybody
(because neither QEMU or libvirt know where the VM might be
migrated later).
Which is why the BZ below is important:

Yeah, it is mostly safe and makes sense, but messy if you try to
migrate to a host with a different size.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/4] PCI hostdev partial assignment support
by Daniel Henrique Barboza
Changes from previous version [1], all of them result of
feedback from Alex Williamson and Abdulla Bubshait:
- use <address type='none'/> instead of creating a new subsys
attribute;
- expand the change to all PCI hostdevs. Former patch 01 was
discarded because we don't need the PCI Multifunction helpers
for now;
- series changed name to reflect what it's being done
- new patch 04: add documentation to formatdomain.html.in
To avoid a huge wall of text please refer to [1] for context
about the road up to here. Commit msgs of the first 3 patches
tells the story as well.
[1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-October/msg00298.html
What I want to discuss here instead is a caveat that I've found
while testing this work, since its first version. This test was
done in a Power 8 system with a Broadcom BCM5719 PCIe Multifunction
card, with 4 virtual functions. This series enables Libvirt to
declare PCI hostdevs that will not be visible to the guest using
address type='none'. During the tests I faced a scenario that I
expected to fail, but it didn't. This is the relevant XML except:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<driver name='vfio'/>
<source>
<address domain='0x0001' bus='0x09' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</source>
<address type='none'/>
</hostdev>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<driver name='vfio'/>
<source>
<address domain='0x0001' bus='0x09' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/>
</source>
<address type='none'/>
</hostdev>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<driver name='vfio'/>
<source>
<address domain='0x0001' bus='0x09' slot='0x00' function='0x2'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</hostdev>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<driver name='vfio'/>
<source>
<address domain='0x0001' bus='0x09' slot='0x00' function='0x3'/>
</source>
<address type='none'/>
</hostdev>
I'm declaring all the BCM5719 functions in the XML, but I am making
functions 0, 1 and 3 unassignable by the guest using address type='none'.
This test was meant to fail, but it didn't. To my surprise the guest
booted and the device is functional:
$ lspci
0000:00:01.0 Unclassified device [00ff]: Red Hat, Inc Virtio memory balloon
0000:00:03.0 USB controller: Red Hat, Inc. QEMU XHCI Host Controller (rev 01)
0000:00:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device
0001:00:01.2 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
$
I've talked with Michael Roth (QEMU PPC64 developer that worked with
the PCI multifunction hotplug/unplug support in the PPC64 machine)
about this. He mentioned that this is intended. I'll quote here what he
had to say about it:
"The current logic is that we only emit the hotplug event when function
0 is attached, but if some other function is attached at boot-time the
guest will still see it on the bus, and whether that works or not I
think is up to the device/driver"
This explains why this test didn't fail as I expected. At least for
the PPC64 machine, depending on the device support, this setup is
allowed. PPC64 machine uses function 0 hotplug as a signal of
'plug all the queue functions and function 0', but function 0
isn't required at boot time. I would like to hear other opinions
in this because I can't say whether this is allowed in x86.
I am mentioning all this now because this had a direct impact on the
design of this work since the previous version, and I failed
to bring it up back then. I am *not* checking for the assignment of
function 0 at guest boot time in Libvirt, leaving the user free to
decide what to do. I am aware that this will be inconsistent to the
logic of the PCI multifunction hotplug/unplug support, where
function 0 is required. This also puts a lot of faith in the user,
relying that the user is fully aware of the capabilities of the
hardware.
My question is: should Libvirt force function 0 to be present in
boot time as well, regardless of whether the PPC64 guest or some
cards are able to boot without it?
Thanks,
DHB

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/1] Improve travis CI coverage
by Daniel P. Berrangé
There is currently a serious hardware outage with the host running
our Jenkins CI slaves and we're not sure when we'll get it back up
and running. Ths leaves us with Travis CI in the meanwhile.
This expands the Travis CI coverage to add latest Fedora stable
and rawhide, so that it is covering a representative set of
distros overall.

travis: add fedora-31 & fedora-rawhide to the build images
