[libvirt PATCH] virt-host-validate: fix detection with cgroups v2
by Pavel Hrdina 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Using virtCgroupNewSelf() is not correct with cgroups v2 because the the virt-host-validate process is executed from from the same cgroup context as the terminal and usually not all controllers are enabled by default. To do a proper check we need to use the root cgroup to see what controllers are actually available. Libvirt or systemd ensures that all controllers are available for VMs as well. This still doesn't solve the devices controller with cgroups v2 where there is no controller as it was replaced by eBPF. Currently libvirt tries to query eBPF programs which usually works only for root as regular users will get permission denied for that operation.

[PATCH v1 00/10] move memory module align to PostParse time
by Daniel Henrique Barboza 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hi, This is a work that I intended to do after pSeries NVDIMM changes I made in commit v6.7.0-302-gd3f3c2c97f. The reasoning is that if ppc64 NVDIMM alignment can be done in PostParse time, regular ppc64 DIMMs alignment can also be done the same way. After that I realized that the same logic can be applied to x86 as well, and then I started to see where we could eliminate explicit align calls. The end result is that a bug that affects pSeries the most was found and fixed in patch 02, and now we're able to reflect the exact memory being used by the guest in the live XML since the alignment is now done in parse time. The series can be fetched from: https://gitlab.com/danielhb/libvirt/-/tree/memory_modules_postparse_v1 NOTE: I worked with the x86 logic based on what I could assert from the code itself, i.e. the aligment mechanics (2MiB align for mem modules, 1MiB align for total memory) are related to QEMU internals, not being hypervisor-agnostic. If someone with authority can guarantee that the alignment restrictions for x86 are applicable to all hypervisors (like in the pSeries case), let me know and I'll respin the series putting the x86 code in virDomainMemoryDefPostParse().
