[PATCH] passt: Define backend hostname and fqdn
by Enrique Llorente 27 May '25

27 May '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> --- 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 0/3] CH: Add support for a configuration file and log level configuration

27 May '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 v3 0/3] Disable Deprecated Features by Default on s390 CPU Models
by Collin Walling 27 May '25

27 May '25

Changelog v3 - added qemu caps check to avoid breaking s390 guests trying to default deprecated_features='off' on QEMU versions that do not support reporting these features v2 - changed behavior from disabling features on the host model to instead flagging the guest CPU to disable deprecated features - removed disabling deprecated features on host model in virQEMUCapsInitCPUModelS390 - added flagging deprecated_feats in qemuProcessUpdateGuestCPU - added tests for deprecated_features='on' - split virQEMUCapsUpdateCPUDeprecatedFeatures update and qemuProcessUpdateGuestCPU changes The intention of reporting deprecated features and modifying the guest CPU model was to alleviate the user from the burden of preparing a guest with the necessary amendments to assure migration to newer hardware. While that goal was met by way of the "deprecated_features='on|off'" attribute, it still adds an extra step that the user must be aware to prepare a guest for migration and the errors that stem from an unsuccessful migration (due to feature incompatibility) is not always clear how to resolve. These patches make s390 CPU host models migration ready from the get-go by disabling deprecated features by default. They may still be disabled for other model types via the respective attribute, or reenabled if desired.
