[PATCH v2] virhostcpu: Fix potential use of unallocated memory
by Felix Huettner 26 Mar '26

26 Mar '26

In case of a host that has a large number of cpus offline the count of host cpus and the last bit set in the virHostCPUGetOnlineBitmap might diverge significantly. This can e.g. be the case when disabling smt via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control. On the host this looks like: ``` $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/present 0-255 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online 0-127 ``` However in this case virBitmapToData previously only allocated 16 bytes for the output bitmap. This is becase the last set bit is on the 15th byte. Users of virHostCPUGetMap however rely on the "cpumap" containing enough space for all existing cpus (so they would expect 32 bytes in this case). E.g. cmdNodeCpuMap relies on this for its output. It will then actually read 32 bytes from the start of the "cpumap" address where in this case the last 16 of these bytes are uninitialized. This manifests itself in flapping outputs of "virsh nodecpumap --pretty" like: ``` $ virsh nodecpumap --pretty CPUs present: 256 CPUs online: 128 CPU map: 0-127,192,194,202 $ virsh nodecpumap --pretty CPUs present: 256 CPUs online: 128 CPU map: 0-127,192,194,197 $ virsh nodecpumap --pretty CPUs present: 256 CPUs online: 128 CPU map: 0-127,192,194,196-197 ``` This in turn potentially causes users of this data to report wrong cpu counts. Note that this only seems to happen with at least 256 physical cpus where at least 128 are offline. We fix this by preallocating the expected bitmap size.

[ PATCH vf-token 0/8] Introduce vf-token when using userspace PF
by Vivek Kashyap 23 Dec '25

23 Dec '25

The VFIO PCI ABI has been extended to require userspace PF driver to set a VF token to a known value. The VF drivers are then required to provide this token to access the VF device. The vf-token is set by the PF driver before VF drivers can access the device. The kernel provides no means to retrieve the token in use; but there is no specification describing the distribution or level of confidentiality of the token. Qemu has been extended to require the vf-token when vf device is used. An important point to note is that the vf-token is required only when both the PF and VF are used in userspace. This patch series adds support to provide the vf-token (uuid format) in the domain XML and to generate the qemu commandline including the vf-token. To support vf-token the new element will be used as follows: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0' slot='0x00' function='0x1'> <vf-token uuid='00112233-4455-6677-8899-aabbccddeeff'/> </address> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> The generated commandline will include the following: -device {"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0000:00:0.1", "vf-token":"00112233-4455-6677-8899-aabbccddeeff", "id":"hostdev0","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x1"} Changes since initial RFC based on review comments received: 1. Added documentation 2. Added test cases and ran successful test suite after each patch commit 3. fixed spaces, coding sytle, and uuid string format 4.

[PATCH 0/1] cpu_map: fix vmx-* features wrong bitmaps
by Hector Cao 12 Nov '25

12 Nov '25

Hello, I'm unable to make virsh capabilities to detect the right CPU model on an Intel Granite Rapids platform. I would expect the get the CPU model defined in one of the src/cpu_map/x86_GraniteRapids*.xml files. The cause of the wrong detection is the fact that some vmx-* are not correctly detected and considered missing on this platform. When I take a look at the src/cpu_map/x86_features.xml file, I think that some of the vmx-* are wrongly defined. Taking as an example the vmx-apicv-xapic feature, it is defined as the first bit in the EAX register when we read the MSR 0x0000048b . But in Intel specification, this feature is represented as the first bit in the EDX register (32 higher bits). You can find in this submission the patch that fixes this issue, and this for all the affected MSRs. I tested this fix on my Granite Rapids platform and the CPU model is now correctly detected.

[RFC PATCH v4 0/5] Added virtio-net RSS with eBPF support.
by Andrew Melnychenko 14 Oct '25

14 Oct '25

This series of rfc patches adds support for loading the RSS eBPF program and passing it to the QEMU. Comments and suggestions would be useful. QEMU with vhost may work with RSS through eBPF. To load eBPF, the capabilities required that Libvirt may provide. eBPF program and maps may be unique for particular QEMU and Libvirt retrieves eBPF through qapi. For now, there is only "RSS" eBPF object in QEMU, in the future, there may be another one(g.e. network filters). That's why in Libvirt added logic to load and store any eBPF object that QEMU provides using qapi schema. One of the reasons why this series of patches is in RFC are tests. To this series of patches, the tests were added. For now, the tests are synthetic, the proper "reply" file should be generated with a new "caps" file. Currently, there are changes in caps-9.0.0* and caps-9.1.0 files. There was added support for ebpf_rss_fds feature, and request-ebpf command. So, overall, the tests are required for review, comment, and discussion how we want them to be implemented in the future. For virtio-net RSS, the document has not changed. ``` <interface type="network"> <model type="virtio"/> <driver queues="4" rss="on" rss_hash_report="off"/> <interface type="network"> ``` Simplified routine for RSS: * Libvirt retrieves eBPF "RSS" and load it. * Libvirt passes file descriptors to virtio-net with property "ebpf_rss_fds" ("rss" property should be "on" too). * if fds was provided - QEMU using eBPF RSS implementation. * if fds was not provided - QEMU tries to load eBPF RSS in own context and use it. * if eBPF RSS was not loaded - QEMU uses "in-qemu" RSS(vhost not supported). Changes since RFC v3: * changed tests a bit * refactored and rebased * removed "allowEBPF" from qemu config(now env is used for tests) Changes since RFC v2: * refactored and rebased. * applied changes according to the Qemu. * added basic test.

[PATCHv2] passt: Define backend hostname and fqdn
by Enrique Llorente 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

This commit introduces a feature enhancement for configuring hostnames in virtual machines (VMs) using DHCP. It adds new options to the "passt" tool to set the hostname and fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for VMs. These map to DHCP option 12 for the hostname and options 81 (IPv4) and 39 (IPv6) for the FQDN. The update enables passt to dynamically assign hostnames to DHCP-aware VMs. To achieve this, the commit adds two fields to the passt domain XML backend. These fields allow passt to configure the hostname and FQDN for the virtual machine, ensuring smooth integration with the DHCP protocol. This improvement is particularly valuable in environments where VMs need dynamic hostname configuration, enhancing flexibility and automation in virtualized network setups. libvirt: Integrate passt --hostname --fqdn options Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-79806 Signed-off-by: Enrique Llorente <ellorent(a)redhat.com> --- Compared to v1 this fix the mapping between backend fqdn and hostname docs/formatdomain.rst | 8 +++++--- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 10 +++++++++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 2 ++ src/conf/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 6 ++++++ src/qemu/qemu_passt.c | 6 ++++++ tests/qemuxmlconfdata/net-user-passt.x86_64-7.2.0.xml | 2 +- tests/qemuxmlconfdata/net-user-passt.x86_64-latest.xml | 2 +- tests/qemuxmlconfdata/net-user-passt.xml | 2 +- .../net-vhostuser-passt.x86_64-latest.xml | 2 +- tests/qemuxmlconfdata/net-vhostuser-passt.xml | 2 +- 10 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.rst b/docs/formatdomain.rst index 8753ee9c23..9c80aa9270 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.rst +++ b/docs/formatdomain.rst @@ -5372,10 +5372,12 @@ came from the host's IP.

[PATCH v2 00/11] Enabling logging for ch guests

18 Aug '25

LogContext management is now moved from Qemu driver to hypervisor. After migrating Qemu to use domain_logcontext, I extended ch driver to use also use domain_logcontext to capture early boot failures within domain specific log files. Changes in V2: * refactored the patches to ensure all of them build. * ch driver will use virtlogd to consolidate logs from hypervisor and its domains.

Question about SEV* guests and automatic firmware selection
by Jim Fehlig 31 Jul '25

31 Jul '25

Hi All, While investigating an internal bug report, we noticed that a minimal firmware auto-selection configuration along with SEV* fails to find a match. E.g. the following config <domain type="kvm"> <os firmware="efi"> <type arch="x86_64" machine="q35">hvm</type> <boot dev="hd"/> </os> <launchSecurity type="sev"> <policy>0x07</policy> </launchSecurity> ... </domain> Fails with "Unable to find 'efi' firmware that is compatible with the current configuration". A firmware that should match has the following json description { "description": "UEFI firmware for x86_64, with AMD SEV", "interface-types": [ "uefi" ], "mapping": { "device": "flash", "mode": "stateless", "executable": { "filename": "/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-sev.bin", "format": "raw" } }, "targets": [ { "architecture": "x86_64", "machines": [ "pc-q35-*" ] } ], "features": [ "acpi-s4", "amd-sev", "amd-sev-es", "amd-sev-snp", "verbose-dynamic" ], "tags": [ ] } Auto-selection works fine if I specify a 'stateless' firmware, e.g. amend the above config with <os firmware="efi"> <type arch="x86_64" machine="q35">hvm</type> <loader stateless="yes"/> <boot dev="hd"/> </os> Being unfamiliar with the firmware auto-selection code, I tried the below naive hack, which only led to test failures and the subsequent runtime error "unable to find any master var store for loader: /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-sev.bin". Should auto-selection work with the minimal config, or is it expected that user also specify a stateless firmware?

[PATCH 0/4] Allow xml-configured coredump format on VM crash
by Nikolai Barybin 08 Jul '25

When libvirt processes VM crash event it always dumps core in raw format. This series makes it possible to configure dump format via domain xml. This would be especcialy helpful for Windows guests, because it requires a lot effort to convert raw dump into wingdb.

[PATCH 0/4] USB hostdev: allow addressing by port
by Maximilian Martin 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

This resubmission splits up the previous patch into multiple patches and incorporates review comments from Michal Prívozník. Currently, only vendor/product and bus/device matching are supported for USB host devices. Neither of these provide a stable and persistent way of assigning a guest a specific host device. Vendor/product can be ambiguous. Device numbers change on every enumeration. This patch adds a bus/port matching, which allows a specific port on the host to be specified using the dotted notation found in Linux's "devpath" sysfs attribute. This patch is based on the previous work of Thomas Hebb: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/message/7U3… Resolves: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/513 Signed-off-by: Maximilian Martin <maximilian_martin(a)gmx.de> Maximilian Martin (4): virusb test data: add devpath files for port addressing domain_conf, virhostdev, virusb, virusb test: add bus/port matching schema: add USB port attribute docs: add description for USB port matching docs/formatdomain.rst | 29 ++-- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 69 +++++++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/conf/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 11 +- src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c | 131 +++++++++------ src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 - src/util/virusb.c | 156 ++++++------------ src/util/virusb.h | 32 ++-- tests/virusbtest.c | 149 ++++++++++++----- .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.3.1/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.3.3/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.3/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.4/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.5/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.6/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.6/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/2-1.2/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/2-1/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/usb1/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/usb2/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/usb3/devpath | 1 + .../sys_bus_usb/devices/usb4/devpath | 1 + 24 files changed, 351 insertions(+), 244 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.3.1/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.3.3/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.3/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.4/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.5/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5.6/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.5/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1.6/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/1-1/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/2-1.2/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/2-1/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/usb1/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/usb2/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/usb3/devpath create mode 100644 tests/virusbtestdata/sys_bus_usb/devices/usb4/devpath -- 2.39.5

[PATCH v3 0/3] CH: Add support for a configuration file and log level configuration
by Stefan Kober 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Similar to the qemu.conf file that allows QEMU specific configurations we add the possibility to specify a ch.conf file for Cloud Hypervisor configuration. The initial single config option is the log level, which sets the verbosity of the Cloud Hypervisor process. This allows for simpler debugging when using Cloud Hypervisor via libvirt.

[PATCH 0/3] qemu: Replace usb-storage with usb-bot
by Akihiko Odaki 12 Jun '25

12 Jun '25

usb-storage is a compound device that automatically creates a USB mass storage device and a SCSI device as its backend. Unfortunately it lacks some configuration options that are usually present with a SCSI device, and cannot represent CD-ROM in particular. Replace usb-storage with usb-bot, which can be combined with a manually created SCSI device. libvirt will configure the SCSI device in a way identical with how QEMU does for usb-storage except that now it respects a configuration option to represent CD-ROM.

[1] We do allow capabilities captured from the currently in development tree but: - they must be based on a commit from official qemu git - you will have to update them to the final version once qemu-N+1 releases. But since it's not merged yet your patch will need to stay RFC. Please make sure thoug to note it in the capabilities patch that it's not the final version yet so that there's no confusion. Your patch looked like it was something which already exists based on the commit message and I didn't read the cover letter because I wasn't too interested in the series itself, I'm just making sure that capabilities dumps are handled properly so that I don't have to deal with it later.

[PATCH 0/1] [RFC] Live migration support for ch driver
by Stefan Kober 10 Jun '25

10 Jun '25

This change serves as a proof of concept that adds live migration support to the Cloud Hypervisor driver. It is meant to show feasibility and to receive early feedback. I tested the live migration by invoking: virsh -c ch:///session migrate --domain vmName --desturi ch+ssh://dstHost/session --live Opens: * What is required for a minimal viable live migration to be merged? * Job state tracking?

[PATCH v4 0/2] Fix virtio console port assignment issue
by Aaron M. Brown 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Changelog: --- v4: - Update commit messages --- v3: - Added Reviewed-By - Included CI Results Link --- v2: - Split patch into two commits - Added fixes tag --- This libvirt patch does the following: 1. fixes an issue with virtio console device port assignment on vioserial buses 2. updates console port reservation comment and changes the allowZero variable to allowPortZero for clarity Currently in libvirt, a virtio console device cannot be assigned a port number greater than zero on a vioserial bus. This leads to port collision errors when adding more than 1 virtio console device on a single vioserial bus. After applying this patch, one can add multiple console ports under a single vioserial bus. Here is a link to CI results for this series: https://gitlab.com/aaronbmalik/libvirt/-/pipelines/1832324065 Aaron M.

[RFC PATCH 0/5] qemu: Implement support for iommufd and multiple vSMMUs
by Nathan Chen 31 May '25

31 May '25

Hi, This is a follow up to the first RFC patchset [0] for supporting multiple vSMMU instances in a qemu VM. This patchset also introduces support for using iommufd to propagate DMA mappings to kernel for assigned devices. This patchset implements support for specifying multiple <iommu> devices within the VM definition when smmuv3Dev IOMMU model is specified, and is tested with Shameer's latest qemu RFC for HW-accelerated vSMMU devices [1] Moreover, it adds a new 'iommufd' member for virDomainIOMMUDef, in order to represent the iommufd object in qemu command line. This patchset also implements new 'iommufdId' and 'iommufdFd' attributes for hostdev devices to be associated with the iommufd object. For instance, specifying the iommufd object and associated hostdev in a VM definition with multiple IOMMUs, configured to be routed to pcie-expander-bus controllers in a way where VFIO device to SMMUv3 associations are matched with the host (pcie-expander-bus and pcie-root-port controllers are no longer auto-added/auto-routed like in the first revision of this RFC, as the PCIe topology will be configured by management apps): <devices> ... <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-expander-bus'> <model name='pxb-pcie'/> <target busNr='248'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </controller> ... <controller type='pci' index='21' model='pcie-root-port'> <model name='pcie-root-port'/> <target chassis='21' port='0x0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='22' model='pcie-root-port'> <model name='pcie-root-port'/> <target chassis='22' port='0xa8'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> ... <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'> <source> <address domain='0x0009' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <iommufdId>iommufd0</iommufdId> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x15' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'> <source> <address domain='0x0019' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <iommufdId>iommufd0</iommufdId> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x16' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <iommu model='smmuv3Dev'> <iommufd> <id>iommufd0</id> </iommufd> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </iommu> <iommu model='smmuv3Dev'> <iommufd> <id>iommufd0</id> </iommufd> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </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":"pxb-pcie","bus_nr":248,"id":"pci.2","bus":"pcie.0","addr":"0x2"}' \ -device '{"driver":"pcie-root-port","port":0,"chassis":21,"id":"pci.21","bus":"pci.1","addr":"0x0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"pcie-root-port","port":168,"chassis":22,"id":"pci.22","bus":"pci.2","addr":"0x0"}' \ -object '{"qom-type":"iommufd","id":"iommufd0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"arm-smmuv3-accel","bus":"pci.1"}' \ -device '{"driver":"arm-smmuv3-accel","bus":"pci.2"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0009:01:00.0","id":"hostdev0","iommufd":"iommufd0","bus":"pci.21","addr":"0x0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0019:01:00.0","id":"hostdev1","iommufd":"iommufd0","bus":"pci.22","addr":"0x0"}' \ If users would like to leverage qemu's iommufd feature to open the VFIO cdev and /dev/iommu via an external management layer, the fd can be specified like so in the VM definition: <devices> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x12' function='0x2'/> </source> <iommufdId>iommufd0</iommufdId> <iommufdFd>23</iommufdFd> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <iommu model='intel'> <iommufd> <id>iommufd0</id> <fd>22</fd> </iommufd> </iommu> </devices> This would get translated to a qemu command line with the arguments below: -object '{"qom-type":"iommufd","id":"iommufd0","fd":"22"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0000:06:12.2","id":"hostdev1","iommufd":"iommufd0","fd":"23","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x3"}' \ Summary of changes: - Introduced support for specifying multiple <iommu> stanzas in the VM XML definition when using smmuv3Dev model. - Automating PCIe topology to populate VM definition with multiple vSMMUs routed to pcie-expander-bus controllers is excluded, in favor of deferring creation of PXBs and routing of VFIO devices to management apps. - Introduced iommufd support. TODO: - I updated the namespace and cgroup configuration to allow access to iommufd paths at /dev/vfio/devices/vfio* and /dev/iommu. However, qemu needs to be launched with user and group set to 'root' in order for these paths to be accessible. A passthrough device represented by /dev/vfio/18 normally has 'root' user and group permissions, but in the mount namespace it's changed to 'libvirt-qemu' and 'kvm'. I wasn't able to discern where this is happening by looking at src/qemu/qemu_namespace.c and src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c. Would you have any pointers on how to change the iommufd paths' user and group permissions in the libvirt mount namespace?

[RFC PATCH 0/2] Fix forward type=hostdev nets for apparmor
by Tim Small 30 May '25

30 May '25

I'm working on a fix for a bug whereby apparmor permissions aren't granted to allow a PCI SR-IOV virtual function to be used in a kvm guest when the VF is defined via a forward type='hostdev' network (as per the 'hostdev' option documented here: https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#connectivity ). Downstream bug here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993856 I'm not sure if the attached patches are sufficient. When I compare the apparmor permissions file for a guest with a VF shared via forward type='hostdev' vs. the same guest with a VF shared via a PCI hostdev device, the latter has extra apparmor permissions for files like: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource3_wc" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource0_wc" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource3" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/vendor" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/reset" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/device" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource0" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/config" rw, ... however both guests appear to function in my test environment (Debian 13, 6.12.22-amd64) - i.e. both with and without those entries. So I don't know if those permissions are unneeded, or if they are granted at runtime instead. If those permissions are needed, then I'd appreciate any hints on how to modify virt-aa-helper to discover the PCI address. I appreciate that might not actually be possible because that is dynamically allocated, and so might race - so some other solution might be required. Many Thanks, Tim.
