[PATCH 00/24] qemu: Prepare for QAPIfied 'object-add'
by Peter Krempa 01 Dec '20

01 Dec '20

Prepare libvirt for the changes proposed for qemu: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-November/msg01580.html Patches 1-12/24 are pure refactors and can be merged right away. Patches 13-15/24 can be merged, but the justification will be weak without the rest. Patches 16-22/24 are RFC until the qemu bits are merged. Patch 23/24 adds capabilities and needs to be udpated later Patch 24/24 is not to be merged! Note that patch 23/24 is intentionally missing from the mailing list posting as it's just a dump of QEMU capabilities from newest qemu. No need to litter the list with it. Also note that after the last patch tests will fail. See that patch for the reason.

[libvirt PATCH] vircgroupv2: fix virCgroupV2DenyDevice
by Pavel Hrdina 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

The original logic is incorrect. We would delete the device entry from eBPF map only if the newval would be same as current val in the map. In case that the device was allowed only as read-only but later we remove all permissions for that device it would remain in the table with empty values. The old code would still deny the device but it's not working as intended. Instead we will update the value in advance. If the updated value is 0 it means that we are removing all permissions so it should be removed from the map, otherwise we will update the value in map.

[PATCH 0/3] gitlab: Add issue templates
by Peter Krempa 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Gitlab allows projects to define templates for filing issues [1]. Libvirt didn't have them yet. We can use them to encourage users to file better bug reports and feature requests. You can test-drive the proposed templates in my test repo: https://gitlab.com/pipo.sk/test/-/issues/new?issue%5Bassignee_id%5D=&issue%… Any suggestions on how to improve them further are very welcome.

Entering freeze for libvirt-6.10.0
by Jiri Denemark 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

I have just tagged v6.10.0-rc1 in the repository and pushed signed tarballs and source RPMs to https://libvirt.org/sources/ Please give the release candidate some testing and in case you find a serious issue which should have a fix in the upcoming release, feel free to reply to this thread to make sure the issue is more visible. If you have not done so yet, please update NEWS.rst to document any significant change you made since the last release. Thanks, Jirka

QEMU Advent Calendar 2020 Call for Images
by Eldon Stegall 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi, QEMU Advent Calendar 2020 is around the corner and we are looking for volunteers to contribute disk images that showcase something cool, bring back retro computing memories, or simply entertain with a puzzle or game. QEMU Advent Calendar publishes a QEMU disk image each day from December 1-24. Each image is a surprise designed to delight an audience consisting of the QEMU community and beyond. You can see previous years here: https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/ You can help us make this year's calendar awesome by: * Sending disk images ( or links to larger images ) * Replying with ideas for disk images (reply off-list to avoid spoilers!) If you have an idea after the start of the advent, go ahead and send it. We may find space to include it, or go ahead and get a jump on 2021! Here are the requirements for disk images: * Content must be freely redistributable (i.e. no proprietary license that prevents distribution). For GPL based software, you need to provide the source code, too. * Provide a name and a short description of the disk image (e.g. with hints on what to try) * Provide a ./run shell script that prints out the name and description/hints and launches QEMU * Provide a 320x240 screenshot/image/logo for the website * Size should be ideally under 100 MB per disk image (but if some few images are bigger, that should be OK, too) Check out this disk image as an example of how to distribute an image: https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/2018/download/day24.tar.xz PS: QEMU Advent Calendar is a secular calendar (not religious). The idea is to create a fun experience for the QEMU community which can be shared with everyone. You don't need to celebrate Christmas or another religious festival to participate! Thanks, and best wishes! Eldon
