vhost-user-blk bypasses the QEMU block layer, so NBD storage migration
at the QEMU level will not work for the vhost-user-blk disk.

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori
Disclaimer: I am neither an SR-IOV nor a vhost-net expert, but I've CC'd
people that are who can throw tomatoes at me for getting bits wrong :-)
I wanted to start a discussion about supporting vhost-net in libvirt.
vhost-net has not yet been merged into qemu but I expect it will be soon
so it's a good time to start this discussion.
There are two modes worth supporting for vhost-net in libvirt. The
first mode is where vhost-net backs to a tun/tap device. This is
behaves in very much the same way that -net tap behaves in qemu today.
Basically, the difference is that the virtio backend is in the kernel
instead of in qemu so there should be some performance improvement.
Current, libvirt invokes qemu with -net tap,fd=X where X is an already
open fd to a tun/tap device. I suspect that after we merge vhost-net,
libvirt could support vhost-net in this mode by just doing -net
vhost,fd=X. I think the only real question for libvirt is whether to
provide a user visible switch to use vhost or to just always use vhost
when it's available and it makes sense. Personally, I think the later
makes sense.
The more interesting invocation of vhost-net though is one where the
vhost-net device backs directly to a physical network card. In this
mode, vhost should get considerably better performance than the current
implementation. I don't know the syntax yet, but I think it's
reasonable to assume that it will look something like -net
tap,dev=eth0. The effect will be that eth0 is dedicated to the guest.
On most modern systems, there is a small number of network devices so
this model is not all that useful except when dealing with SR-IOV
adapters. In that case, each physical device can be exposed as many
virtual devices (VFs). There are a few restrictions here though. The
biggest is that currently, you can only change the number of VFs by
reloading a kernel module so it's really a parameter that must be set at
startup time.
I think there are a few ways libvirt could support vhost-net in this
second mode. The simplest would be to introduce a new tag similar to
<source network='br0'>. In fact, if you probed the device type for the
network parameter, you could probably do something like <source
network='eth0'> and have it Just Work.
Another model would be to have libvirt see an SR-IOV adapter as a
network pool whereas it handled all of the VF management. Considering
how inflexible SR-IOV is today, I'm not sure whether this is the best model.
Has anyone put any more thought into this problem or how this should be
modeled in libvirt? Michael, could you share your current thinking for
-net syntax?

[PATCH] virt-aa-helper: disallow graphics socket read permissions
by Simon Arlott
The VM does not need read permission for its own sockets to create(),
bind(), accept() connections or to recv(), send(), etc. on connections.
This was fixed in ab9569e5460d1e4737fe8b625c67687dc2204665
(virt-aa-helper: disallow VNC socket read permissions),
but then b6465e1aa49397367a9cd0f27110b9c2280a7385
(graphics: introduce new listen type 'socket')
and acc83afe333bfadd3f7f79091d38ca3d7da1eeb2
(acc83afe333bfadd3f7f79091d38ca3d7da1eeb2) reverted it.
Unless the read permission is omitted, VMs can connect to each other's
VNC/graphics sockets.

Races / crashes in shutdown of libvirtd daemon
by Daniel P. Berrangé
We got a new BZ filed about a libvirtd crash in shutdown
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1828207
We can see from the stack trace that the "interface" driver is in
the middle of servicing an RPC call for virConnectListAllInterfaces()
Meanwhile the libvirtd daemon is doing virObjectUnref(dmn) on the
virNetDaemonPtr object.
The fact that it is doing this unref, means that it must have already
call virStateCleanup(), given the code sequence:
/* Run event loop. */
virNetDaemonRun(dmn);
ret = 0;
virHookCall(VIR_HOOK_DRIVER_DAEMON, "-", VIR_HOOK_DAEMON_OP_SHUTDOWN,
0, "shutdown", NULL, NULL);
cleanup:
/* Keep cleanup order in inverse order of startup */
virNetDaemonClose(dmn);
virNetlinkEventServiceStopAll();
if (driversInitialized) {
/* NB: Possible issue with timing window between driversInitialized
* setting if virNetlinkEventServerStart fails */
driversInitialized = false;
virStateCleanup();
}
virObjectUnref(adminProgram);
virObjectUnref(srvAdm);
virObjectUnref(qemuProgram);
virObjectUnref(lxcProgram);
virObjectUnref(remoteProgram);
virObjectUnref(srv);
virObjectUnref(dmn);
Unless I'm missing something non-obvious, this cleanup code path is
inherantly broken & racy. When virNetDaemonRun() returns the RPC
worker threads are all still active. They are all liable to still
be executing RPC calls, which means any of the drivers may be in
use. So calling virStateCleanup() is an inherantly dangerous
thing to do. There is the further complication that once we have
exitted the main loop we may prevent the RPC calls from ever
completing, as they may be waiting on an event to be dispatched.
I know we're had various patch proposals in the past to improve the
robustness of shutdown cleanup but I can't remember the outcome of the
reviews. Hopefully people involved in those threads can jump in here...
IMHO the key problem here is the virNetDeamonRun() method which just
looks at the "quit" flag and immediately returns if it is set.
This needs to be changed so that when it sees quit == true, it takes
the following actions
1. Call virNetDaemonClose() to drop all RPC clients and thus prevent
new RPC calls arriving
2. Flush any RPC calls which are queued but not yet assigned to a
worker thread
3. Tell worker threads to exit after finishing their current job
4. Wait for all worker threads to exit
5. Now virNetDaemonRun may return
At this point we can call virStateCleanup and the various other
things, as we know no drivers are still active in RPC calls.
Having said that, there could be background threads in the the
drivers which are doing work that uses the event loop thread.
So we probably need a virStateClose() method that we call from
virNetDaemonRun, *after* all worker threads are gone, which would
cleanup any background threads while the event loop is still
running.
The issue is that step 4 above ("Wait for all worker threads to exit")
may take too long, or indeed never complete. To deal with this, it
will need a timeout. In the remote_daemon.c cleanup code path, if
there are still worker threads present, then we need to skip all
cleanup and simply call _exit(0) to terminate the process with no
attempt at cleanup, since it would be unsafe to try anything else.
Regards,
Daniel

[libvirt] [PATCH-for-4.2] hw/mips: Deprecate the r4k machine
by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé
The r4k machine was introduced in 2005 (6af0bf9c7) and its last
logical change was in 2005 (9542611a6). After we can count 164
maintenance commits (QEMU API changes) with the exception of
1 fix in 2015 (memory leak, commit 3ad9fd5a).
This machine was introduced as a proof of concept to run a MIPS
CPU. 2 years later, the Malta machine was add (commit 5856de80)
modeling a real platform.
Note also this machine has no specification except 5 lines in
the header of this file:
* emulates a simple machine with ISA-like bus.
* ISA IO space mapped to the 0x14000000 (PHYS) and
* ISA memory at the 0x10000000 (PHYS, 16Mb in size).
* All peripherial devices are attached to this "bus" with
* the standard PC ISA addresses.
It is time to deprecate this obsolete machine. Users are
recommended to use the Malta board, which hardware is well
documented.

[PATCH libvirt-python 0/5] Fixes from adding type annotation
by Philipp Hahn
Hello,
as announced a long time ago with

and recently refreshed with
<https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-April/msg00892.html>
I'm working on adding PEP 484 type hints
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/> to the Python binding of
libvirt.
I have finished this work now and have a working version at
<https://github.com/univention/libvirt-python/tree/typing> which
consists of 90 patches in total as I has to go over evry file to
understand and fix all things.
As that patch bomb is quiet large I'm going to submit them in smaller
chunks to make them more reviewable. Today I start with the first round
consisting of "real" bugs in the current code:
Philipp Hahn (5):

generator: Fix string formatting
generator: Fix domainSnapshot.listAllChildren()
qemu-api: Fix return type
