[ 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. Used S:vftoken in virJSONValueObjectAdd instead of a conditional Vivek Kashyap (8): Define the vf-token extension for PCI device Introduce the vf-token qemu capability This patch introduces the PCI address extension flag for vf-token This patch introduces new XML parser/formatter functions for parsing the vf-token Introduce a validation function for vf-token support in qemu and generate vf-token device attribute in qemu command line Provide information about the vf-token flag Add tests for the vf-token flag to the qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml test suites Update news about vf-token NEWS.rst | 8 +++ docs/formatdomain.rst | 3 ++ src/conf/device_conf.c | 49 ++++++++++++++++--- src/conf/domain_addr.h | 1 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 8 +++ src/conf/schemas/basictypes.rng | 7 +++ src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 3 ++ src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 8 +++ src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c | 3 ++ src/qemu/qemu_validate.c | 20 ++++++++ src/util/virpci.c | 7 +++ src/util/virpci.h | 10 ++++ .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_8.1.0_s390x.xml | 1 + .../caps_8.1.0_x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_8.2.0_x86_64.xml | 1 + .../hostdev-vfio-vf-token.x86_64-latest.args | 34 +++++++++++++ .../hostdev-vfio-vf-token.xml | 22 +++++++++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 1 + .../hostdev-vfio-vf-token.x86_64-latest.xml | 40 +++++++++++++++ tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c | 1 + 22 files changed, 223 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/hostdev-vfio-vf-token.x86_64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/hostdev-vfio-vf-token.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/hostdev-vfio-vf-token.x86_64-latest.xml -- 2.33.8

[RFC PATCH v7 0/3] Fix virtio console port assignment issue
by Aaron M. Brown 24 Nov '25

24 Nov '25

Changelog: --- v7: - Removed some unnecessary definitions from test xml - Moved edge case reservation logic to virDomainVirtioSerialAddrAssign --- v6: - Fixed issue with console auto port index starting from 1 instead of 0 --- v5: - Added xml tests to tests/qemuxmlconfdata - Fixed virito -> virtio typo in commit message --- v4: - Update commit messages --- v3: - Added Reviewed-By - Included CI Results Link --- v2: - Split patch into two commits - Added fixes tag --- This libvirt patch series does the following: 1. fixes an issue with virtio console device port auto assignment on virtio-serial buses 2. updates console port reservation comment and changes the allowZero variable to allowPortZero for clarity 3. Adds tests for virtio console on the vioserial bus Currently in libvirt, a virtio console device cannot be auto assigned a port number greater than zero on a virtio-serial bus. This leads to port collision errors when adding more than 1 virtio console device on a single virtio-serial bus. After applying this patch, one can add multiple console ports under a single virtio-serial bus. Here is a link to CI results for this series: https://gitlab.com/aaronbmalik/libvirt/-/pipelines/2047914492 Aaron M.

[PATCH v3 0/7] USB hostdev: allow addressing by port
by Maximilian Martin 20 Nov '25

20 Nov '25

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. The path series is based on the previous work of Thomas Hebb: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/message/7U3… This resubmission includes Daniel's patch which extends the USB hostdev test logic. Maximilian Martin (7): tests: validate an XML config with USB vendor/product set virusb test data: add devpath files for port addressing domain_conf, virhostdev, virusb, virusb test: add bus/port matching schema: add USB port attribute tests: validate an XML config with USB bus/port set nodedev: add USB port to nodedev XML docs: add description for USB port matching docs/formatdomain.rst | 29 ++-- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 58 ++++++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/conf/node_device_conf.c | 5 + src/conf/node_device_conf.h | 1 + src/conf/schemas/basictypes.rng | 31 ++++ src/conf/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 41 +---- src/conf/schemas/nodedev.rng | 3 + src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c | 131 ++++++++------ src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 - src/node_device/node_device_udev.c | 4 + src/util/virusb.c | 160 ++++++------------ src/util/virusb.h | 22 +-- .../usb_device_1d6b_1_0000_00_1d_0.xml | 1 + ...ostdev-usb-address-port.x86_64-latest.args | 36 ++++ ...hostdev-usb-address-port.x86_64-latest.xml | 45 +++++ .../hostdev-usb-address-port.xml | 28 +++ ...tdev-usb-vendor-product.x86_64-latest.args | 35 ++++ ...stdev-usb-vendor-product.x86_64-latest.xml | 44 +++++ .../hostdev-usb-vendor-product.xml | 36 ++++ tests/qemuxmlconftest.c | 25 +++ 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 + 37 files changed, 631 insertions(+), 271 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/hostdev-usb-address-port.x86_64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/hostdev-usb-address-port.x86_64-latest.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/hostdev-usb-address-port.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/hostdev-usb-vendor-product.x86_64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/hostdev-usb-vendor-product.x86_64-latest.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/hostdev-usb-vendor-product.xml 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 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.

[PATCH v4 1/3] qemu: support riscv-aia feature for RISC-V KVM
by BillXiang 31 Oct '25

31 Oct '25

From: xiangwencheng <xiangwencheng(a)lanxincomputing.com> riscv-aia feature was introduced in qemu-8.2 to specify the KVM AIA mode. The "riscv-aia" parameter is passed along with -accel in QEMU command-line. 1) "riscv-aia=emul": IMSIC is emulated by hypervisor 2) "riscv-aia=hwaccel": use hardware guest IMSIC 3) "riscv-aia=auto": use the hardware guest IMSICs whenever available otherwise we fallback to software emulation. This patch add the corresponding feature named 'riscv-aia'.

[PATCH v2 0/1] x86: install modules-load.d file to load msr module
by Hector Cao 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

This submission is a follow-up (v2) of the discussion (RFC) that was happening at: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/ADJ4A... On x86, libvirt makes use of the API exposed by the msr kernel module to read the MSR (Model Specific Registers) values. On some Linux distros, this module is not loaded by default so libvirt might fail to read the MSR values and falls back to /dev/kvm to obtain these values. KVM might be behind in term of exposing all the values of the MSRs so using /dev/kvm is not ideal. This submission tries to make libvirt deploy the modules-load.d configuration so that linux loads the msr module at next boot. One caveat, libvirt installs only the file and does not trigger the load that is only done at next reboot, it is up to each distro to trigger immediately the load of the module without a reboot. v2: - only install the file when qemu driver is enabled Hector Cao (1): x86: install modules-load.d file to load msr module meson_options.txt | 1 + src/util/meson.build | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ src/util/modules-load.d/msr.conf | 1 + tools/virt-host-validate-qemu.c | 7 +++++++ 4 files changed, 28 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/util/modules-load.d/msr.conf -- 2.45.2
