[libvirt] [RFC] On present using dummy hostdev usb device
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi, all! We use an interesting approach when starting/migrating/etc domain with usb hostdev with startupPolicy=optional. We add qemu usb-host device with missing hostaddr/hostbus parameters (dummy device). I guess there are 2 reasons why we do it. First without dummy device migration will fail as described in [1]. Second is an interesting property of dummy device that qemu starts to monitor for attaching of usb devices and binds the first attached to node to the dummy device. So one can start a domain with missing hostdev and attach it later or migrate a domain then detach hostdev on source and attach it on destination. But as qemu binds the first attached device this is not reliable, to say the least. And after all this does not work if domain uses distinct mount namespace which is default. So I question does it make sense to use dummy device at all? In case of migration/resume from suspend/revert to snapshot we can either fix qemu to ignore incoming missing hostdev data or add dummy device temporarily. The latter solution is worse as it brings dummy device behaviour even for a short period of time. However having a temporary dummy device is neccessary step towards the time when all supported versions of qemu do the mentioned ignoring. As to handling attaching of missing hostdev device to node it should be done in libvirt which can do necessary mount namespace actions. (Actually I developing such patches right now but some peculiarities of dummy device bring me here). Nikolay [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg00440.html

This series adds a way to retrive the DomainOs' Firmware set (with tests) and, while touching that code, also adds one more check for gvir_config_domain_os_get_machine().

[libvirt] Entering freeze for libvirt 5.7.0
by Daniel Veillard 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

I'm a day late but I just tagged it in git and pushed signed tarball and source rpm to the usual place: https://libvirt.org/sources/ Seems to work fine in my very minimal testing, there is a few red spots in CI https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt/ but they seems mostly related to Debian 10 testing so maybe there was a hiccup on that arch in CI... I guess I will push RC2 over the week-end, and if things are fine push the final 5.7.0 release next Tuesday, in the meantime, please give it some testing, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Developers Tools http://developer.redhat.com/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
