Release of libvirt-7.8.0
by Jiri Denemark
The 7.8.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs and source RPMs are available at
https://libvirt.org/sources/
https://libvirt.org/sources/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* nodedev: Add ability to automatically start mediated devices
The autostart status of a persistent mediated devices can be managed with
the new APIs ``virNodeDeviceSetAutostart()`` and
``virNodeDeviceGetAutostart()``. The corresponding virsh command is
``nodedev-autostart``. In addition, two new APIs were added to get
additional information about node devices: ``virNodeDeviceIsPersistent()``
checks whether the device is persistently defined, and
``virNodeDeviceIsActive()`` checks whether the node device is currently
active. This information can also be retrieved with the new virsh command
``nodedev-info``.
Enjoy.

This is the basics of what libvirt does for a snapshot, and steps 1+2
are what it does for a "managedsave" (where it saves the snapshot to
disk and then terminates the qemu process, for later re-animation).
In those cases, it seems like this new parameter could work for us -
instead of explicitly pausing the guest prior to migrating it to disk,
we would set this new parameter to on, then directly migrate-to-disk
(relying on qemu to do the pause). Care will need to be taken to assure
that error recovery behaves the same though.
There are a couple of cases when libvirt apparently *doesn't* pause the
guest during the migrate-to-disk, both having to do with saving a
coredump of the guest. Since I really have no idea of how
common/important that is (or even if my assessment of the code is
correct), I'm Cc'ing this patch to libvir-list to make sure it catches
the attention of someone who knows the answers and implications.
