[PATCH for-6.2] docs: Deprecate incorrectly typed device_add arguments
by Kevin Wolf 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

While introducing a non-QemuOpts code path for device creation for JSON -device, we noticed that QMP device_add doesn't check its input correctly (accepting arguments that should have been rejected), and that users may be relying on this behaviour (libvirt did until it was fixed recently). Let's use a deprecation period before we fix this bug in QEMU to avoid nasty surprises for users.

[PATCH v1 0/2] qemu_process: ensure the reboot process is performed completely
by Bihong Yu 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

When the vm reboot in ACPI mode, the vm has a certain probability to be shutoff or paused status if the libvirtd is restarted for some reason, which is not expected. This patchset ensure the reboot process is performed completely.

[libvirt PATCH v2 0/1] Ignore EPERM on attempts to clear a VF VLAN ID
by Dmitrii Shcherbakov 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

SmartNIC DPUs may not expose some privileged eswitch operations to the hypervisor hosts. For example, this happens with Bluefield devices running in the ECPF (default) mode [1] for security reasons. While VF MAC address programming is possible via an RTM_SETLINK operation, trying to set a VLAN ID in the same operation will fail with EPERM. In the kernel a relevant call chain may look like do_setlink -> do_setvfinfo -> dev->netdev_ops->set_vf_vlan which calls a driver-specific function like [2] eventually. The equivalent ip link commands below provide an illustration: 1. This works: sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 mac de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe 2. Setting (or clearing) a VLAN fails with EPERM: sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 vlan 0 RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted 3. This is what Libvirt attempts to do today (when trying to clear a VF VLAN at the same time as programming a VF MAC). sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 vlan 0 mac de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted If setting an explicit VLAN ID results in an EPERM, clearing a VLAN (setting a VLAN ID to 0) can be handled gracefully by ignoring the EPERM error with the rationale being that if we cannot set this state in the first place, we cannot clear it either. Thus, virNetDevSetVfConfig is split into two distinct functions. If clearing a VLAN ID fails with EPERM, the error is simply ignored. Both new functions rely virNetDevSendVfSetLinkRequest that implements common functionality related to formatting a request, sending it and handling error conditions and returns 0 or an error since in both cases the payload is either NLMSG_DONE (no error) or NLMSG_ERROR where an error message is needed by the caller to handle known cases appropriately. This function allows the conditional code to be unit tested. An alternative to this could be providing a higher level control plane mechanism that would provide metadata about a device being remotely managed in which case Libvirt would avoid trying to set or clear a VLAN ID. This would be more complicated since other software (like Nova in the OpenStack case) would have to annotate every guest device with an attribute indicating whether a device is remotely managed or not based on operator provided configuration so that Libvirt can act on this and avoid VLAN programming. https://gitlab.com/dmitriis/libvirt/-/pipelines/406528913 [1] https://docs.mellanox.com/display/BlueFieldSWv35111601/Modes+of+Operation#M… [2] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.15/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/… Dmitrii Shcherbakov (1): Ignore EPERM on attempts to clear VF VLAN ID src/libvirt_private.syms | 7 ++ src/util/virnetdev.c | 199 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------- src/util/virnetdevpriv.h | 44 ++++++++ tests/virnetdevtest.c | 222 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 4 files changed, 396 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/util/virnetdevpriv.h -- 2.32.0

[PATCH v4 0/5] qapi: Add feature flags to enum members
by Markus Armbruster 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

PATCH 1+2 add feature flags to enum members. Awkward due to an introspection design mistake; see PATCH 1 for details. PATCH 3+4 implement policy deprecated-input={reject,crash} for enum values. Policy deprecated-output=hide is not implemented, because we can't hide a value without hiding the entire member, which is almost certainly more than the requester of this policy bargained for. Perhaps we want a new policy deprecated-output=hide-or-else-crash to help us catch unwanted use of deprecated enum values. Perhaps we want deprecated-output=hide to behave that way together with deprecated-input=crash. Or even always. Thoughts? PATCH 5 puts the new feature flags to use. It's RFC because it makes sense only on top of Vladimir's deprecation of drive-backup. See its commit message for a reference. I prefer to commit new features together with a use outside tests/. PATCH 5 adds such a use, but it's RFC, because it depends on Vladimir's work. Perhaps another use pops up. I can delay this work in the hope of a use becoming ready, but the feature flags work I have in the pipeline will eventually force my hand. v4: * PATCH 1: Deprecate SchemaInfoEnum member @values. * PATCH 2: Doc tweak v3: * PATCH 1+2: Update qapi-code-gen.rst [Kevin, Eric] * PATCH 4: Commit message typo [Eric], doc update moved to PATCH 2 * PATCH 5: Doc comment FIXME resolved [Kevin] v2: * Rebased with straightforward conflicts. * PATCH 1-4: No longer RFC. * PATCH 1: "Since" information fixed [Eric].
