[PATCH 1/1] qemu: Inherit SCSI controller model from existing peers
by Denis V. Lunev 09 Jun '26

09 Jun '26

virDomainDefMaybeAddHostdevSCSIcontroller() already inherits the model of an existing SCSI controller when auto-adding peers driven by a hostdev whose drive address overflows the highest declared idx. virDomainDefAddDiskControllersForType(), called for the disk-driven analogue, does not -- it passes model=-1 unconditionally. The unspecified peers then arrive at qemuDomainDefaultSCSIControllerModel() and pick up whichever model the capability cascade settles on (typically lsilogic). A user-declared virtio-scsi controller at idx 0 ends up alongside auto-added lsilogic peers at idx 1+. Plug the same inheritance into qemuDomainDefaultSCSIControllerModel() itself so it covers both the disk-driven path and any other caller that arrives with an unresolved model. The function already prefers architectural defaults (PSeries, ARM virt, RISC-V virt, LoongArch, s390, built-in ESP) over capabilities; peer inheritance slots in just before the capability cascade. A virtio-scsi domain keeps the new peers as virtio-scsi; an lsisas1068 domain stays lsisas1068; a fresh domain with no SCSI controllers still gets the cap-driven default. controller-scsi-auto, the only existing test that flows through this helper, is unaffected (it has no peers to inherit from). controller-scsi-inherit-model covers the new behavior.

[PATCH v3 0/2] allow migrations with the ext transport
by Mark Cave-Ayland 09 Jun '26

09 Jun '26

[MCA: I've now adopted these patches from Sergey] Hello, I have a use case for live-migration where the socket of the destination libvirtd is proxied by an mTLS WebSocket proxy. Since there is no WebSocket support in Libvirt, I've decided to use the existing ext transport and point it to a proxy binary on the source host of live-migration. While doing that, I've discovered a couple of roadblocks: 1. There is no way of passing cmdline arguments to the ext program 2. Live-migrations using ext transport fail localhost checks This short series addresses those limitations. v2 -> v3: - fix passing of extArgs v1 -> v2: - new way of passing argv Sergey Dyasli (2): remote: allow passing argv to the ext transport remote: allow migrations with the ext transport src/libvirt-domain.c | 8 +++++--- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/util/viruri.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/viruri.h | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0

[PATCH 1/1] qemu: stop silently narrowing the guest CPU during live migration
by Denis V. Lunev 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

qemuDomainMakeCPUMigratable() strips features marked added='yes' (in src/cpu_map/x86_*.xml) from the migration cookie when the source CPU was specified as host-model. The intent was libvirt-protocol compat with older destinations; the cost is guest CPU compat, paid silently on every migration. Every Intel x86 CPU model from Westmere through Sapphire Rapids carries 60+ added='yes' features, including vmx-exit-load-perf-global-ctrl and vmx-entry-load-perf-global-ctrl that control the LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL allowed-1 bits of MSR_IA32_VMX_{EXIT,ENTRY}_CTLS. A host-model live migration on any of these models drops those features from the destination's qemu argv. Modern qemu gates the nested VMX capability MSRs on the explicit -cpu list, so the guest's MSR view shifts. Linux distributions that load kvm_intel by default snapshot those MSRs at module-load time and validate every newly online CPU against that snapshot. An automated test that boots a guest, live-migrates it, and hot-plugs additional vCPUs reliably trips kvm_intel: Inconsistent VMCS config on CPU N kvm: enabling virtualization on CPUN failed smpboot: CPU N is now offline the guest agent's online attempt returns -EIO and the hot-plug fails. Live migration must preserve the guest's CPU specification bit for bit -- this is a hard contract, not an optimisation target. Drop the strip. If a destination libvirt does not know a feature in the cookie, its parser rejects the migration with a precise unknown-feature error: operators can upgrade or narrow the source CPU definition. Either is visible; the status quo is not. This effectively reverts 14d3517410 ("qemu: domain: Drop added features from migratable CPU") together with its follow-up aae8a5774b ("qemu: Drop vmx-* from migratable CPU model only when origCPU is set"), and removes the now-unused origCPU plumbing in qemuDomainMakeCPUMigratable() and its callers.

[PATCH v2 03/16] migration/qapi: Rename MigrationStats to MigrationRAMStats
by Peter Xu 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

This stats is only about RAM, make it accurate. This paves way for statistics for all devices. Thanks to Markus, who pointed out that docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst has a section "Compatibility considerations" stated: Since type names are not visible in the Client JSON Protocol, types may be freely renamed. Even certain refactorings are invisible, such as splitting members from one type into a common base type. Hence this change is not ABI violation according to the document. While at it, touch up the lines to make it read better, correct the restriction on migration status being 'active' or 'completed': over time we grew too many new status that will also report "ram" section.

[PATCH] virt-aa-helper: Prevent spurious denials for AoE disks
by PUSHKARAJ PATIL 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

virt-aa-helper calls virStorageSourceGetMetadata before adding a disk path to a domain's apparmor profile. This probes the device and may trigger an AppArmor denial when the disk is an AoE device under /dev/etherd/. The return value of virStorageSourceGetMetadata is not checked, so the denial has no functional impact but results in noisy dmesg logs. Explicitly deny read access to /dev/etherd/e*.* in the virt-aa-helper profile to avoid these spurious denials.

[PATCH] lxc: truncate LOOP_GET_STATUS64.lo_file_name for long loop backing paths
by Radoslaw Smigielski 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

LXC domains with long file-backed filesystem path fail to start when the backing image path is longer than LO_NAME_SIZE (64 bytes, 63 characters plus NUL). When long file path is passed, virFileLoopDeviceAssociate() -> virStrcpy() fails and user gets missleading error and domain fails to start. Example: <filesystem type='file' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='loop' format='raw'/> <source file='/root/demoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.raw'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> To match losetup behavior we copy the path with virStrcpy() and allow truncation of lo_file_name only if needed, while still calling open() on the unchanged path. Finally log VIR_WARN when the path is expected to be truncated. But still report VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR for all other virStrcpy() failures.

[PATCH] qemu: validate: treat only real backing chains as NVRAM backingStore
by Efim Shevrin 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

qemuDomainInitializePflashStorageSource() always attaches a non-NULL src->backingStore used as an empty virStorageSource chain terminator (type VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_NONE). qemuValidateDomainDefNvram() incorrectly interpreted every non-NULL backingStore as a genuine backing overlay and reported VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, so legitimate UEFI/NVRAM setups were rejected. Check virStorageSourceIsBacking(src->backingStore) instead of a plain pointer test so only a real backing node is rejected. Regression introduced in commit bca731d0f562f0842f56ec2206fdbd721a468f5b.

[PATCH RFC 0/6] Add qemu-vnc support
by marcandre.lureau＠redhat.com 04 Jun '26

04 Jun '26

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau(a)redhat.com> Hi, This series allows to run the QEMU VNC server in a standalone process. The qemu-vnc binary is aimed to be released with QEMU 11.1. It is still being reviewed (https://patchew.org/QEMU/20260410-qemu-vnc-v2-0-231416f76dc3@redhat.com/) The standalone VNC activates automatically when a domain has both <graphics type='dbus'/> (bus mode) and <graphics type='vnc'/>, and the qemu-vnc binary is available. Comments welcome! Marc-André Lureau (6): qemu: add standalone VNC state directory qemu: add qemu-vnc configuration qemu: add qemu-vnc helper unit qemu: integrate standalone VNC in domain lifecycle qemu: wire up standalone VNC in driver APIs qemu: add tests for standalone VNC graphics po/POTFILES | 1 + src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug | 1 + src/qemu/meson.build | 1 + src/qemu/qemu.conf.in | 8 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 8 + src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 68 ++- src/qemu/qemu_extdevice.c | 13 +- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 12 + src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 40 +- src/qemu/qemu_vnc.c | 407 ++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_vnc.h | 41 ++ src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 1 + ...hics-vnc-standalone-p2p.x86_64-latest.args | 34 ++ ...phics-vnc-standalone-p2p.x86_64-latest.xml | 40 ++ .../graphics-vnc-standalone-p2p.xml | 39 ++ ...s-vnc-standalone-socket.x86_64-latest.args | 33 ++ ...cs-vnc-standalone-socket.x86_64-latest.xml | 40 ++ .../graphics-vnc-standalone-socket.xml | 40 ++ ...graphics-vnc-standalone.x86_64-latest.args | 33 ++ .../graphics-vnc-standalone.x86_64-latest.xml | 40 ++ .../graphics-vnc-standalone.xml | 40 ++ tests/qemuxmlconftest.c | 4 + tests/testutilsqemu.c | 9 + 27 files changed, 950 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/qemu/qemu_vnc.c create mode 100644 src/qemu/qemu_vnc.h create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone-p2p.x86_64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone-p2p.x86_64-latest.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone-p2p.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone-socket.x86_64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone-socket.x86_64-latest.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone-socket.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone.x86_64-latest.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone.x86_64-latest.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxmlconfdata/graphics-vnc-standalone.xml -- 2.53.0

[PATCH 0/7] qemu: add async vCPU unplug coverage
by Akash Kulhalli 04 Jun '26

04 Jun '26

This series adds qemuhotplugtest coverage for async vCPU unplug. Async vCPU unplug does not complete at the device_del reply. The guest CPU remains in a pending removal state until QEMU reports DEVICE_DELETED and the QEMU driver handles the resulting process event. The new harness support lets the tests observe that intermediate state and then complete the unplug through the same process-event path used by the driver. The setvcpu coverage exercises both a single-vCPU x86 hotplug entity and a grouped ppc64 hotplug entity. These cases check the pending live XML before completion and the final live/config XML after completion, while also validating the expected vcpu-removed domain events. The setvcpus coverage adds a separate count-based x86 downscale case. This keeps the independent count-to-entity selection path covered without duplicating the grouped-entity coverage from setvcpu. The series also includes a small domain API cleanup to use the vCPU-specific flag aliases consistently in the vCPU entry points. This keeps the implementation and diagnostics aligned with the API being handled. This is a cosmetic change only, since the underlying values are all mapped to their equivalent enums. While adding this coverage, I realised that virsh was being too restrictive in its parameter combination validation; only QEMU does not support both `--async` and `--guest`. Other drivers may wish to support this behaviour. Accordingly, I've changed the behaviour so that virsh now lets the drivers reject the combination if they're unsupported. The decision now rests with the driver, which is more appropriate. Akash Kulhalli (7): qemu: expose process event handler to tests tests: add helper for DEVICE_DELETED events qemuhotplugtest: support async vcpu unplug completion qemuhotplugtest: test setvcpu async unplug qemuhotplugtest: test setvcpus async downscale domain: use vcpu-specific flag aliases consistently virsh: allow async vcpu options to reach drivers -- 2.49.0
