[PATCH v2 0/7] Add support for more ACPI table types
by Daniel P. Berrangé 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

This was triggered by a request by KubeVirt in https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/748 I've not functionally tested this, since I lack any suitable guest windows environment this is looking for MSDM tables, nor does my machine have MSDM ACPI tables to pass to a guest. I'm blindly assuming that the QEMU CLI code is identical except for s/SLIC/MSDM/. In this 2nd version I've addressed two further issues * the xen driver was incorrectly mapping its 'acpi_firmware' option to type=slic. Xen's setting accepts a concatenation of tables of any type. This is different from type=slic which represents a single table, whose type will be forced to 'SLIC' if not already set. To address this we introduce a new 'rawset' type * The QEMU driver does not require a type to be set in the first place; if set it merely overrides what is in the data file. Supporting this would let us handle any ACPI table type without further XML changes. To address this we introduce a new 'raw' type, which can occur many times. Daniel P.

[PATCH] Fix a typo in docs/formatdomain.rst
by Yalan Zhang 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Fix a typo and update the setting in the example. The documentation explains that "when passt is the backend,...the ``<source>`` path/type/mode are all implied to be "matching the passt process" so **must not** be specified." Additionally, this source dev setting is ignored in practice. Therefore, let's remove it from the example to avoid any confusion.

[PATCH] qemuPrepareNVRAMFile: Fix NVRAM image conversion check
by Peter Krempa 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

In case when user provides custom paths (those not covered by the JSON firmware descriptor files or the default locations) for the loader and nvram template no auto-detection will be performed and user's config will be taken at face value. Historically when 'templateFormat' didn't exist we assumed that the 'format' field covers both. Thus if 'templateFormat' is VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE we need to skip the check forbidding image format conversion for 'file' backed to avoid breaking legacy configs with manual/non-detected format assuming that user picked the correct format. Add a comment to the declaration of 'nvramTemplateFormat' noting the above for future reference.

Release of libvirt-11.1.0
by Jiri Denemark 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

The 11.1.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and signed tarballs are available at https://download.libvirt.org/ https://download.libvirt.org/python/ Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches, reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly appreciated. * Packaging changes * De-modularize the 'fs' storage file backend The storage file backend for local files uses only code which we compile into the internal libraries anyways so there's no point in having it as a loadable module. The ``storage-file/libvirt_storage_file_fs.so`` module no longer exists and its functionality is embedded directly. * Removed features * vbox: removed support for version 6.1 APIs Libvirt no longer supports use of VirtualBox 6.1 since this version reached its end of life on 2024/01. * New features * nodedev: Support ccwgroup based qeth devices CCW group devices are devices that use multiple subchannels on the mainframe's channel subsystem. A qeth group device maps to subchannels and their corresponding device numbers and device bus-IDs. The ``ccwgroup`` device nodes are placed besides the subchannel nodes under computer and list the group members within a new ``ccwgroup`` capability. A new capability ``ccwgroup_member`` is added into capability ``ccw`` to represent a device membership to a ccwgroup. Filters are added to find ccwgroups as well as ccwgroup members. * ch: Support handling events from cloud-hypervisor The ch driver now supports handling events from the cloud-hypervisor. Events include VM lifecyle operations such as shutdown, pause, resume, etc. Libvirt will now read these events and take actions such as updating domain state, etc. * Introduce virtio-mem ``<memory/>`` model for s390 guests The virtio-mem model of ``<memory/>`` device can now be used with s390 guests. * Support using passt as the backend for interface type='vhostuser' The combination of vhostuser transport with passt as the backend provides high performance, fully featured networking without the need for libvirt or QEMU to have any elevated privileges or capabilities. Configuration and features are identical to the configuration for type='user' with the passt backend. * Improvements * qemu: I/O error messages can be queried via ``virDomainGetMessages()`` The qemu hypervisor driver now preserves the last I/O error message along with the timestamp when it was recorded and preserves it to be queried via ``virDomainGetMessages()``. * Bug fixes * tools: ssh-proxy: Check if domain is running before connecting to it If domain is not running but has a static CID configured for its VSOCK then the ssh-proxy parsed it anyways. This may have resulted in mistakenly connecting to a different domain. Domain status is checked before parsing its CID. * apparmor: Allow SGX if configured If domain has ``<memory model='sgx-epc'\>`` configured then libvirt now adds corresponding devices into a per-domain profile so that AppArmor does not deny QEMU access to them. * qemu: Fix crash when starting a domain on a host with unknown host CPU On hosts where we cannot detect a host CPU model (mostly aarch64 hosts) starting a domain with a custom CPU model caused a crash of virtqemud. The bug was introduced in libvirt-10.9.0 Enjoy. Jirka
