[PATCH 0/6] ch: handle events from cloud-hypervisor
by Purna Pavan Chandra Aekkaladevi 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

cloud-hypervisor raises various events, including VM lifecylce operations such as boot, shutdown, pause, resume, etc. Libvirt will now read these events and take the necessary actions, such as correctly updating the domain state. A FIFO file is passed to `--event-monitor` option of cloud-hypervisor. Libvirt creates a new thread that acts as the reader of the fifo file and continuously monitors for new events. Currently, shutdown events are handled by updating the domain state appropriately.

[PATCH] (for 10.8.0? undecided) qemu: fix regression in update-device for interfaces
by Laine Stump 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Commit a37bd2a15b8f2e7aa09519c86fe1ba1e59ce113f eliminated a failure to update *any* change in an interface that was connected via a network that consisted of a pool of VFs using macvtap passthrough mode. Unfortunately it caused a regression that results in failure to update changes to bandwidth/vlan/trustGuestRxFilters in any interface connected via a network that uses a bridge to connect tap devices. This fixes that problem by narrowing the usage of the fix in the earlier patch to only be done in the case that the the interface is connected via a macvtap+passthrough network. Signed-off-by: Laine Stump <laine(a)redhat.com> Fixes: a37bd2a15b8f2e7aa09519c86fe1ba1e59ce113f --- The alternatives to this are: 1) revert a37bd2a15b8f2e7aa09519c86fe1ba1e59ce113f (but I haven't checked yet if that will cause problems with the other patches in that same series) to eliminate the regression but also unfix the bug that was fixed, or 2) Do nothing and release with the regression.

by Jiri Denemark 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

I have just tagged v10.8.0-rc1 in the repository and pushed signed tarballs to https://download.libvirt.org/ 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

[RFC PATCH v2 0/8] swtpm: Add support for profiles
by Stefan Berger 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Upcoming libtpms v0.10 and swtpm v0.10 will have TPM profile support that allows to restrict a TPM's provided set of crypto algorithms and commands and through which backwards compatibility and migration from newer versions of libtpms to older ones (up to libtpms v0.9) is supported. For the latter to work it is necessary that the user chooses the right ('null') profile. This series adds support for passing a profile choice to swtpm_setup by setting it in the domain XML using the <profile/> XML node. An optional attribute 'remove_disabled' can be set in this node and accepts two values: "check": test a few crypto algorithms (tdes, camellia, unpadded encryption, and others) for whether they are currently disabled due to FIPS mode on the host and remove these algorithms in the 'custom' profile if they are disabled; "fips-host": do not test but remove all the possibly disabled crypto algorithms (from list above) Also extend the documentation but point the user to swtpm and libtpms documentation for further details. Follow Deniel's suggestions there's now a PR for swtpm_setup to support searching for profiles though a configurable local directory, distro directory and if no profile could be found there (with appended ".json" suffix) it will fall back to try to use a built-in profile by the provided name: https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/pull/918 Stefan Stefan Berger (8): conf: Move TPM emulator parameters into own struct qemu: Pass virQEMUDriverConfig rather than some of its fields util: Add parsing support for swtpm_setup's cmdarg-profile capability conf: Define enum virDomainTPMProfileRemoveDisabled schema: Extend schema for TPM emulator profile node conf: Add support for profile parameter on TPM emulator in domain XML docs: Add documentation for the TPM backend profile node qemu: Extend swtpm_setup command line to set a profile by its name docs/formatdomain.rst | 30 ++++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 43 +++++++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.h | 35 ++++++--- src/conf/domain_validate.c | 7 ++ src/conf/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 25 ++++++ src/conf/virconftypes.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_tpm.c | 124 +++++++++++++++++------------- src/util/virtpm.c | 1 + src/util/virtpm.h | 1 + tests/testutilsqemu.c | 1 + 10 files changed, 203 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) -- 2.46.1

[PATCH v2] docs: Mark "gluster" support in QEMU as deprecated
