[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? (virDomainObjBeginJob, ...) * What should 'virsh domjobinfo' show? * Testing? * Anything else?

[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?

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.

[PATCH] virConnectAuthCallbackDefault: Return failure if 'virGetPassword' returns NULL
by Peter Krempa 29 May '25

29 May '25

From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> virGetPassword can return NULL on linux or BSD if it fails. The caller in virConnectAuthCallbackDefault does dereference it unconditionally. Return failure if virGetPassword returns NULL.
