Couple of cleanups I've done whilst looking around our code base.

Release of libvirt-8.0.0
by Jiri Denemark 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

The 8.0.0 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. * Security * libxl: Fix potential deadlock and crash (CVE-2021-4147) A rogue guest could continuously reboot itself and cause libvirtd on the host to deadlock or crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. * Removed features * qemu: Explicitly forbid live changing nodeset for strict numatune For ``strict`` mode of <numatune/> it can't be guaranteed that memory is moved completely onto new set of nodes (e.g. QEMU might have locked pieces of its memory) thus breaking the strict promise. If live migration of QEMU memory between NUMA nodes is desired, users are advised to use ``restrictive`` mode instead. * New features * qemu: Synchronous write mode for disk copy operations The ``blockdev-mirror`` block job supports a mode where writes from the VM are synchronously propagated to the destination of the copy. This ensures that the job will converge under heavy I/O. Implement the mode for the copy blockjob as ``VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES`` flag exposed via ``virsh blockcopy --synchronous-writes`` and for non-shared storage migration as ``VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES`` exposed via ``virsh migrate --copy-storage-synchronous-writes``. * Introduce TCG domain features Libvirt is now able to set the size of translation block cache size (tb-size) for TCG domains. * qemu: Add new API to inject a launch secret in a domain New API ``virDomainSetLaunchSecurityState()`` and virsh command ``domsetlaunchsecstate`` are added to support injecting a launch secret in a domain's memory. * Improvements * libxl: Implement the virDomainGetMessages API * qemu: Preserve qcow2 sub-cluster allocation state after external snapshots and block-copy The new image which is installed as an overlay on top of the current chain when taking an external snapshot, or the target of a block copy operation now enables sub-cluster allocation (``extended_l2``) if the original image has the option enabled. * Bug fixes * qemu: Fix device hot-unplug with ``libvirt-7.9`` or ``libvirt-7.10`` used with ``qemu-6.2`` An internal change to the configuration format used by the above libvirt versions triggers a bug in ``qemu-6.2`` where qemu no longer emits the event notifying that the device was unplugged successfully and thus libvirt never removes the device from the definition. This impacts only devices which were present at startup of the VM, hotplugged devices behave correctly. This is fixed in ``libvirt-8.0`` by reverting to the old configuration approach until qemu is fixed. As a workaround for ``libvirt-7.9`` and ``libvirt-7.10`` the old configuration approach can be forced by: Option 1, global ``qemu.conf``:: capability_filters = [ "device.json" ] Option 2, per VM XML override:: <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> [...] <qemu:capabilities> <qemu:del capability='device.json'/> </qemu:capabilities> </domain> * Fix sparse streams with split daemon In split daemon scenario, a client connected to a hypervisor driver and using sparse streams (e.g. ``virsh vol-download --sparse``) would make the hypervisor daemon enter an infinite loop without any data transfer. This is now fixed. * Build no longer requires RPC library Code and its cross dependencies were fixed so that build without remote driver and thus an RPC library (like ``tirpc``) fails no more. * virnetdevopenvswitch: Fix 'burst' value passed to ovs-vsctl When a ``<bandwidth/>`` was defined for a TAP device that's plugged into an OvS bridge values passed to the OvS were incorrectly recalculated resulting in slightly different limits being applied. Enjoy. Jirka

[libvirt PATCH for-8.0.0] virt-ssh-helper: Move manual page to section 8

I have just tagged v8.0.0-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
