[PATCH 0/3] Several small documentation fixes
by Matt Coleman 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

This patchset fixes several spelling and punctuation errors in the documentation. Where British vs. American conventions differ, I used Google Trends to determine which form is most commonly used, globally.

[PATCH] disk storage: fix allocation size for pool format dos
by Sebastian Mitterle 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

The changed condition was always false because the function was always called with boundary values 0. Use the free extent's start value to get its start offset from the cylinder boundary and determine if the needed size for allocation needs to be expanded too in case the offset doesn't fit within extra bytes for alignment. This fixes an issue where vol-create-from will call qemu-img convert to create a destination volume of same capacity as the source volume and qemu-img will error 'Cannot grow device files' due to the partition being too small for the source although both destination partition and source volume have the same capacity.

[PATCH] doc: add some examples for IPv6 NAT configuration
by Ian Wienand 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Add some expanded examples for the nat ipv6 introduced with 927acaedec7effbe67a154d8bfa0e67f7d08e6c7. Unfortunately while for IPv4 it's well-known what addresses ranges are useful for NAT, with IPv6 unless you enjoy digging through RFC's going back-and-forth over unique local addresses and the meaning of the word "site" it's generally much less obvious. I've tried to add some details on choosing a range inline with RFC 4193 and then some pointers for when it maybe doesn't work in the guest as you first expect despite you doing what the RFC's say!

remove cache for hooks
by Kirill Ponomarev 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hi all, at the moment if there's no hook defined and installed, libvirtd caches this fact at start and don't add it even if hookds are added/stopped later. So libvirtd restart is required to hook up the hook. What do you think if we disable caching for that reason to allow adding/removing hooks while libvirtd is running? Any thoughts and/or objections?

[PATCH] qemuFirmwareFillDomain: Fill NVRAM template on migration too
by Michal Privoznik 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

In 8e1804f9f66 I've tried to fix the following use case: domain is started with path to UEFI only and relies on libvirt to figure out corresponding NVRAM template to create a per-domain copy from. The fix consisted of having a check tailored exactly for this use case and if it's hit then using FW autoselection to figure it out. Unfortunately, the NVRAM template is not saved in the inactive XML (well, the domain might be transient anyway). Then, as a part of that check we see whether the per-domain copy doesn't exist already and if it does then no template is looked up hence no template will appear in the live XML. This works, until the domain is migrated. At the destination, the per-domain copy will not exist so we need to know the template to create the per-domain copy from. But we don't even get to the check because we are not starting a fresh new domain and thus the qemuFirmwareFillDomain() function quits early. The solution is to switch order of these two checks. That is evaluate the check for the old style before checking flags.
