[PATCH] qemu: Drop /dev/kvm from default device ACL
by Praveen K Paladugu 23 Oct '25

23 Oct '25

A domain that runs with TCG emulation does not need kvm device, so drop it from default device ACL. To dynamically add devices to defaultDeviceACL, make it a GSList. This variable will be initialized when qemu driver is initalized. Lastly, dynamically append /dev/kvm to default ACL only if the domain is of type VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_KVM.

[PATCH 0/2] qemu: hyperv spinlock retries count bugfix & improvement
by Friedrich Oslage 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Greetings! I previously submitted this patch via GitLab [1] but was told to send it here instead. Well, here it is. Including tests! :-) The 1st patch contains the bugfix part: It fixes a type mismatch (int/uint) preventing us from using the special "never notify" value qemu recommends [2] for non-overcomitted VMs. The 2nd patch contains the improvement: While inspecting the bug I noticed that the default value for retries is currently 0. That doesn't really make sense as we explicitly require it to be >= 0xFFF (4095). This renders the retries attribute mandatory as opposed to the xml schema definition which already defines it as optional. This patch updates the default value to 0xFFFFFFFF (aka "never notify") and makes it truly optional.

[PATCH pushed] qemumonitorjsontes: Properly free blockstats
by Peter Krempa 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> In the patch converting block stats to objects in 58aa005f3e9 I forgot to change the allocation of the hash table in qemumonitorjsontest which doesn't use the wrapper. This problem didn't manifest itself with newer glib versions. Use 'g_object_unref' instead of 'g_free'.

[PATCH v3 0/3] qemu: Implement support for multiple device-pluggable SMMUv3s
by Nathan Chen 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Hi, This is a follow up to the second patchset [0] for supporting multiple device-pluggable vSMMU instances. This patchset implements support for specifying multiple <iommu> devices within the VM definition when smmuv3 IOMMU model is specified with a pciBus driver attribute, and is tested with Shameer's recently accepted qemu series for user-creatable vSMMU devices [1] For instance, specifying the associated emulated device in a VM definition with multiple IOMMUs, configured to be routed to pcie-expander-bus or pcie-root controllers: <devices> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='pcie-expander-bus'> <model name='pxb-pcie'/> <target busNr='252'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pcie-root-port'> <model name='pcie-root-port'/> <target chassis='2' port='0x0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> ... <rng model='virtio'> <backend model='random'>/dev/urandom</backend> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </rng> <rng model='virtio'> <backend model='random'>/dev/urandom</backend> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </rng> <iommu model='smmuv3'> <driver pciBus='0'/> </iommu> <iommu model='smmuv3'> <driver pciBus='1'/> </iommu> </devices> This would get translated to a qemu command line with the arguments below. -device '{"driver":"pxb-pcie","bus_nr":252,"id":"pci.1","bus":"pcie.0","addr":"0x1"}' \ -device '{"driver":"pcie-root-port","port":0,"chassis":2,"id":"pci.2","bus":"pci.1","addr":"0x0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"arm-smmuv3","primary-bus":"pcie.0","id":"smmuv3.0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"arm-smmuv3","primary-bus":"pci.1","id":"smmuv3.1"}' \ ... -object '{"qom-type":"rng-random","id":"objrng0","filename":"/dev/urandom"}' \ -device '{"driver":"virtio-rng-pci","rng":"objrng0","id":"rng0","bus":"pci.2","addr":"0x0"}' \ -object '{"qom-type":"rng-random","id":"objrng1","filename":"/dev/urandom"}' \ -device '{"driver":"virtio-rng-pci","rng":"objrng1","id":"rng1","bus":"pcie.0","addr":"0x4"}' \ Changes from v2: - Make multi-iommu adoption the first commit - Consolidate smmuv3Dev into smmuv3 model - Change 'parentIdx' attribute name to 'pciBus' - Change naming of virDomainDef 'iommu' attribute to 'iommus' - Move multi-iommu check to validation code - Move qemu dev props function to device-pluggable smmuv3 commit - Fix conditional statements per feedback Changes from v1: - Moved parentIdx attribute under <driver> - Revised qemuxmlconfdata test cases to attach emulated devices This series is on Github: https://github.com/NathanChenNVIDIA/libvirt/tree/nestedsmmuv3-no-accel-10-2… Thanks, Nathan [0] https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/IF6O… [1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20250829082543.7680-1-skolothumtho@nvidi… Signed-off-by: Nathan Chen <nathanc(a)nvidia.com> Nathan Chen (3): conf: Support multiple device-pluggable smmuv3 IOMMUs qemu: Implement pluggable-device smmuv3 tests: qemuxmlconfdata: provide device-pluggable smmuv3 sample XML and CLI args docs/formatdomain.rst | 4 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 100 +++++++-- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 10 +- src/conf/domain_validate.c | 61 ++++-- src/conf/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 9 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_alias.c | 15 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 197 ++++++++++++------ src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c | 5 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 8 +- src/qemu/qemu_postparse.c | 11 +- src/qemu/qemu_validate.c | 2 +- .../iommu-smmuv3-pci-bus.aarch64-latest.args | 41 ++++ .../iommu-smmuv3-pci-bus.aarch64-latest.xml | 62 ++++++ .../qemuxmlconfdata/iommu-smmuv3-pci-bus.xml | 49 +++++ tests/qemuxmlconftest.c | 1 + 17 files changed, 455 insertions(+), 124 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/iommu-smmuv3-pci-bus.aarch64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/iommu-smmuv3-pci-bus.aarch64-latest.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/iommu-smmuv3-pci-bus.xml -- 2.43.0

Qemu pause-before-switchover and libvirt live migration
by Rogério Vinhal Nunes 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

Hello, I’m looking into the libvirt hooks that are available to make use of during a live migration, but there's only hooks on migration begin and migration end. On qemu directly I’m able to use pause-before-switchover migration capability to run a custom operation just before it moves to the destination, but within libvirt it seems that while this is leveraged internally, it’s not currently exposed to the client in a way I can use. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could expose this to the client in a generic and sensible way? Thanks, Rogerio

Plans for 11.9.0 release (freeze on 2025-10-29)
by Jiri Denemark 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

We are getting close to 11.9.0 release of libvirt. To aim for the release on Monday 03 Nov I suggest entering the freeze on Wednesday 29 Oct and tagging RC2 on Friday 31 Oct. I hope this works for everyone. Jirka

[RFC PATCH 00/16] qemu: Expose 'limits' and 'timed_stats' block device statistics via bulk stats API
by Peter Krempa 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

This series is RFC as there's pending QEMU work enabling either of the groups: For the limits the following qemu patches are needed: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2025-09/msg00804.html For timed stats, the statistics already exist but can't be enabled without: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2025-10/msg00040.html Patches 1-8 are cleanups and refactors Patches 9-10 extract and expose the block backing file limits. Patches 11-12 extract and expose the timed statistics Patch 13 is qemu capabilities update with the necessary changes and is not to be merged upstream; will be replaced by a proper update. Patches 14-16 add infrastructure to enable timed stats.
