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 00/18] RFC: Remove deprecated audio features
by Martin Kletzander
I wanted to deal with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2043498 and I got a
suggesstion that removing deprecated features could actually make it
easier to propagate the error. In the end (last patch) it turns out the
error is still just reported with error_fatal, so it probably is not
really needed, but I really wanted to dig into QEMU more and learn some
of the internals for quite some time now. So I used the opportunity.
The one-liner ended up being an 18 patch series which was, for someone
who has just one commit in QEMU codebase, a pretty challenging task.
Although I tried my best to do things properly, I am not sure whether I
handled everything correctly, hence the RFC.
Any comments are very much appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day ;)

Summary on new backup interfaces in QEMU
by Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
Hi all!
Here I want to summarize new interfaces and use cases for backup in QEMU.
TODO for me: convert this into good rst documentation in docs/.
OK, let's begin.
First, note that drive-backup qmp command is deprecated.
Next, some terminology:
push backup: the whole process is inside QEMU process, also may be called "internal backup"
pull backup: QEMU only exports a kind of snapshot (for example by NBD), and third party software reads this export and stores it somehow, also called "external backup"
copy-before-write operations: We usually do backup of active disk, guest is running and may write to the disk during the process of backup. When guest wants to rewrite data region which is not backed up yet, we must stop this guest write, and copy original data to somewhere before continuing guest write. That's a copy-before-write operation.
image-fleecing: the technique that allows to export a "snapshotted" state of the active disk with help of copy-before-write operations. We create a temporary image - target for copy-before-write operations, and provide an interface to the user to read the "snapshotted" state. And for read, we do read from temporary image the data which is already changed in original active disk, and we read unchanged data directly from active disk. The temporary image itself is also called "reverse delta" or "reversed delta".
== Simple push backup ==
Just use blockdev-backup, nothing new here. I just note some technical details, that are relatively new:
1. First, backup job inserts copy-before-write filter above source disk, to do copy-before-write operation.
2. Created copy-before-write filter shares internal block-copy state with backup job, so they work in collaboration, to not copy same things twice.
== Full pull backup ==
Assume, we are going to do incremental backup in future, so we also need to create a dirty bitmap, to track dirtiness of active disk since full backup.
1. Create empty temporary image for fleecing. It must be of the same size as active disk. It's not necessary to be qcow2, and if it's a qcow2, you shouldn't make the original active disk a backing file for the new temporary qcow2 image (it was necessary in old fleecing scheme).
Example:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 temp.qcow2 64G
2. Initialize fleecing scheme and create dirty bitmap for future incremental backup.
Assume, disk0 is an active disk, attached to qdev-id sda, to be backed up.
qmp: transaction [
block-dirty-bitmap-add {node: disk0, name: bitmap0, persistent: true}
blockdev-add* {node-name: tmp-protocol, driver: file, filename: temp.qcow2}
blockdev-add {node-name: tmp, driver: qcow2, file: tmp-protocol}
blockdev-add {node-name: cbw, driver: copy-before-write, file: disk0, target: tmp}
blockdev-replace** {parent-type: qdev, qdev-id: sda, new-child: cbw}
blockdev-add {node-name: acc, driver: snapshot-access, file: cbw}
]
qmp: nbd-server-start {...}
qmp: nbd-server-add {device: acc, ...}
This way we create the following block-graph:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[copy-before-write]<------[snapshot-access]
| |
| file | target
v v
[active-disk] [temp.qcow2]
* "[PATCH 0/2] blockdev-add transaction" series needed for this
** "[PATCH v3 00/11] blockdev-replace" series needed for this
Note additional useful options for copy-before-write filter:
"[PATCH 0/3] block: copy-before-write: on-cbw-error behavior" provides possibility of option on-cbw-error=break-snapshot, which means that on failure of CBW operation we will not break guest write, but instead all further reads by NBD client will fail, which formally means: break the backup process, not guest write.
"[PATCH 0/4] block: copy-before-write: cbw-timeout" provides an option cbw-timeout, to set a timeout for CBW operations. That's very useful to avoid guest stuck.
3. Now third party backup tool can read data from NBD export
NBD_CMD_TRIM (discard) operation is supported on the export, it has the following effects:
1. discard this data from temp image, if it is stored here
2. avoid further copy-before-write operation (guest is free to rewrite corresponding data with no extra latency)
3. all further read requests from discarded areas by NBD client will fail
So, NBD client may discard regions that are already backed up to avoid extra latency for guest writes and to free disk space on the host.
Possible TODO here is to implement NBD protocol extension, that allows to READ & DISCARD in command. In this case we avoid extra command in the wire, but lose possibility of retrying the READ operation if it failed.
4. After backup is complete, we should destroy the fleecing scheme:
qmp: nbd-server-stop
qmp: blockdev-del {node-name: acc}
qmp: blockdev-replace {parent-type: qdev, qdev-id: sda, new-child: disk0}
qmp: blockdev-del {node-name: cbw}
qmp: blockdev-del {node-name: tmp}
qmp: blockdev-del {node-name: tmp-protocol}
5. If backup failed, we should remove created dirty bitmap:
qmp: block-dirty-bitmap-remove {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}
== Incremental pull backup ==
OK, now we have a bitmap called bitmap0, and want to do incremental backup, accordingly to that bitmap. In short, we want:
- create a new bitmap to continue dirty tracking for next incremental backup
- export "snapshotted" state of disk0 through NBD
- export "frozen" bitmap, so that external tool know what to copy
Mostly, all points remains the same, let's go through:
1. Create empty temporary image for fleecing -- same as for full backup, no difference
2. Initialize fleecing scheme and create dirty bitmap for future incremental backup.
qmp: transaction [
block-dirty-bitmap-add {node: disk0, name: bitmap1, persistent: true}
block-dirty-bitmap-disable {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}
blockdev-add {node-name: tmp-protocol, driver: file, filename: temp.qcow2}
blockdev-add {node-name: tmp, driver: qcow2, file: tmp-protocol}
blockdev-add {node-name: cbw, driver: copy-before-write, file: disk0, target: tmp, bitmap: {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}}
blockdev-replace {parent-type: qdev, qdev-id: sda, new-child: cbw}
blockdev-add {node-name: acc, driver: snapshot-access, file: cbw}
]
qmp: nbd-server-start {...}
qmp: block-export-add {type: nbd, node-name: acc, bitmaps: [{node: disk0, name: bitmap0}]}
3. Now third party backup tool can read data from NBD export
- Client may negotiate meta contexts, to query exported dirty bitmap by NBD_BLOCK_STATUS commend
- If client reads "not-dirty" (by bitmap0) areas, it gets an error.
- NBD_CMD_TRIM (discard) works as for full backup, no difference
4. After backup is complete, we should destroy the fleecing scheme:
- Same as for full backup
5. Next, we should handle dirty bitmaps:
5.1 Failure path
Merge-back bitmap1 to bitmap0 and continue tracking in bitmap0:
qmp: transaction [
block-dirty-bitmap-enable {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}
block-dirty-bitmap-merge {node: disk0, target: bitmap0, bitmaps: ['bitmap1']}
block-dirty-bitmap-remove {node: disk0, name: bitmap1}
]
5.2 Success path
We have two possible user scenarios on success:
5.2.1 Continue tracking for next incremental backup in bitmap1
In this case, just remove bitmap0:
qmp: block-dirty-bitmap-remove {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}
Or you may not delete bitmap0 and keep it disabled, to be reused in future for differential backup (see below).
5.2.2 Continue tracking for next incremental backup in bitmap0 (assume, we always work with one bitmap and don't want any kind of differential backups, and don't associate bitmap name with stored backups)
In this case, enable and clear bitmap0, merge bitmap1 to bitmap0 and remove bitmap1:
qmp: transaction [
block-dirty-bitmap-enable {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}
block-dirty-bitmap-clear {node: disk0, name: bitmap0}
block-dirty-bitmap-merge {node: disk0, target: bitmap0, bitmaps: ['bitmap1']}
block-dirty-bitmap-remove {node: disk0, name: bitmap1}
]
== Push backup with fleecing full/incremental ==
Reasoning: the main problem of simple push backup is that guest writes may be seriously affected by copy-on-write operations, when backup target is slow. To solve this problem, we'll use the scheme like for pull backup: we create local temporary image, which is a target for copy-before-write operations, and instead of exporting the "snapshot-access" node we start internal backup from it to the target.
So, the scheme and commands looks exactly the same as for full and incremental pull backup. The only difference is that we don't need to start nbd export, but instead we should add target node to qemu and start internal backup. And good thing is that it may be done in same transaction with initializing fleecing scheme:
qmp: transaction [
... initialize fleecing scheme for full or incremental backup ...
# Add target node. Here is qcow2 added, but it may be nbd node or something else
blockdev-add {node-name: target-protocol, driver: file, filename: target.qcow2}
blockdev-add {node-name: target, driver: qcow2, file: target-protocol}
# Start backup
blockdev-backup {device: acc, target: target, ...}
]
If it is an incremental backup, pass also bitmap parameter:
blockdev-backup {..., bitmap: bitmap0, sync: incremental, bitmap-mode: never}
Note bitmap-mode=never: this means that backup will do nothing with bitmap0, so we have same scheme like for pull backups (handle bitmaps by hand after backup). Still, push-backup scheme may be adopted to use other bitmap modes.
What we lack here is discarding in 'acc' node after successful copying of the block to the target, to safe disk space and avoid extra copy-before-write operations. It's a TODO, should be implemented like discard-source parameter for blockdev-backup.
== Differential backups ==
I'm not fan of this idea, but I think it should be described.
Assume we have already a chain of incremental backups (represented as qcow2 chain on backup storage server, for example). They corresponds to some points in time: T0, T1, T2, T3. Assume T3 is the last backup.
If we want to create usual incremental backup, it would be diff between T3 and current time (which becomes T4).
Differential backup say: I want to make backup starting from T1 to current time. What's for? Maybe T2 and T3 was removed or somehow damaged..
How to do that in Qemu: on each incremental backup you start a new bitmap, and _keep_ old one as disabled.
This way we have bitmap0 (which presents diff between T0 and T1), bitmap1 (diff T1 T2), bitmap2 (diff T2 T3), and bitmap3 which shows diff from T3 up to current time. bitmap3 is the only enabled bitmap and others are disabled.
So, to make differential backup, use block-dirty-bitmap-merge command, to merge all bitmaps you need into one, and than use it in any backup scheme.
The drawback is that all these disabled bitmaps eat RAM. Possible solution is to not keep them in RAM, it's OK to keep them in qcow2, and load only on demand. That's not realized now and that's a TODO for thous who want differential backups.

Test failures on macOS 12
by Andrea Bolognani
I'm trying to enable CI coverage for macOS 12, but I'm running into a
couple of issues that I'm not sure how to handle.
Note that the test suite currently passes on macOS 11[1], so these
failures have to be a consequence to changes made to macOS that we
haven't yet learned how to cope with.
The first one is in vircryptotest:
Encrypt aes265cbc ... Expected ciphertext doesn't match
I've added some debug statements and it looks like the generated data
is different every time, which seems like a pretty good indication
that virrandommock is not being picked up correctly. This is not the
only test program that uses that specific mock though, so I'm not
sure what makes it fail when all the others are succeeding.
The other issue is in qemuxml2argvtest:
error : virCommandWait:2752 : internal error: Child process
(/usr/libexec/qemu/vhost-user/test-vhost-user-gpu --print-capabilities)
unexpected fatal signal 6: dyld[8896]: symbol not found in flat
namespace '_virQEMUCapsGet'
error : qemuVhostUserFillDomainGPU:394 : operation failed: Unable to
find a satisfying vhost-user-gpu
So the various virFileWrapperAddPrefix() calls that cause the
contents of tests/qemuvhostuserdata/ to override the host's own
vhostuser configuration are still effective, but for some reason the
trivial test-vhost-user-gpu shell script can't be run successfully
because an internal libvirt symbol can't be found somehow? Confusing.
Roman, does any of this ring a bell? Any chance you could
investigate? macOS 12 has been out for a while now so I'd be very
keen to have it added to CI.
Thanks in advance!

[libvirt][PATCH v11 0/4] Support query and use SGX
by Lin Yang
This patch series provides support for enabling Intel's Software
Guard Extensions (SGX) feature in guest VM.
Giving the SGX support in QEMU had been merged. Intel SGX is a
set of instructions that increases the security of application code
and data, giving them more protection from disclosure or modification.
Developers can partition sensitive information into enclaves, which
are areas of execution in memory with more security protection.
It depends on QEMU fixing[1], which will move cpu QOM object from
/machine/unattached/device[nn] to /machine/cpu[nn]. It requires libvirt
to change the default cpu QOM object location once QEMU patch gets
accepted, but it is out of this SGX patch scope.
The typical flow looks below at very high level:
1. Calls virConnectGetDomainCapabilities API to domain capabilities
that includes the following SGX information.
<feature>
...
<sgx supported='yes'>
<epc_size unit='KiB'>N</epc_size>
</sgx>
...
</feature>
2. User requests to start a guest calling virCreateXML() with SGX
requirement. It does not support NUMA yet, since latest QEMU 6.2
release does not support NUMA.
It should contain
<devices>
...
<memory model='sgx-epc'>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>N</size>
</target>
</memory>
...
</devices>
Please note that SGX NUMA support will be implemented in future patches.
