Hi everyone, I just wanted to bring to your attention that the HTTPS certificate for download.libvirt.org has expired on 2025/10/16, last Thursday.

[PATCH v3 0/8] Enable mshv support for Qemu domains
by Praveen K Paladugu 17 Oct '25

17 Oct '25

"[PATCH v3 00/26] Implementing a MSHV (Microsoft Hypervisor) accelerator" patchset in qemu-devel mailing list introduces MSHV support within Qemu. With above patchset, Qemu guests can be started with `-accel mshv` option to use Microsoft Hypervisor (/dev/mshv) as the hypervisor. Retaining Libvirt's naming convention, this translates to `hyperv` domains. Below is an excerpt of the xml to use with this patchset: ``` <domain type='hyperv'> <name>qemu_msh_testv</name> <cpu mode='host-model'/> <os> <type machine='q35'>hvm</type> </os> ... ``` This patch set introduces the necessary changes within libvirt to support Qemu guest with hyperv (mshv) hypervisor. Chages in v3: - Addressed review comments on v2. - fixed qemucapabilitiestest case - Added a case to qemuxmlconftest Changes in v2: - Addressed review comments on v1. - Added a test to verify mshv capabilities.

[PATCH v4] qapi: net: deprecate vhostforce option
by Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 16 Oct '25

16 Oct '25

This option for tap and vhost-user netdevs doesn't make sense since long ago (10 years!), starting from commits: 1e7398a140f7a6 ("vhost: enable vhost without without MSI-X") 24f938a682d934 ("vhost user:support vhost user nic for non msi guests") Prior these commits, to enable kernel vhost-net, or vhost-user-net for some specific kind of guests (that don't have MSI-X support), you should have set vhostforce=on. Now guest type doesn't matter, all guests are equal for these options logic. For tap the current logic is: vhost=on / vhost=off : vhostforce ignored, doesn't make sense vhost unset : vhostforce counts, enabling vhost So you may enable vhost for tap several ways: - vhost=on - vhostforce=on - vhost=on + vhostforce=on - and even vhost=on + vhostforce=off - they are all equal. For vhost-user we simply ignore the vhostforce option at all in the code. Let's finally deprecate the extra options. Also, fix @vhostforce documentation everywhere to show the real picture, and update vhost-user test to not use deprecated option.

[PATCH v3 02/23] vhost: drop backend_features field
by Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

This field is mostly unused and sometimes confusing. We even have a TODO-like comment to drop it, the comment is removed in this commit. The field is used to held VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES for vhost-user and/or VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR for vhost-net (which may be vhost-user-net). But we can simply recalculate these two flags in place from hdev->features, and from net-client for VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR. Note: removing field from x-query-virtio-status result is incompatible change. We can do it because the command is unstable.

This option doesn't make sense since long ago (10 years!) commit 1e7398a140f7a6 ("vhost: enable vhost without without MSI-X"). Prior 1e7398a140f7a6, to enable vhost for some specific kind of guests (that don't have MSI-X support), you should have set vhostforce=on (with vhost=on or unset). Since 1e7398a140f7a6, guest type doesn't matter, all guests are equal for vhost-enabling options logic. The current logic is: vhost=on / vhost=off : vhostforce ignored, doesn't make sense vhost unset : vhostforce counts, enabling vhost Currently you may enable vhost several ways: - vhost=on - vhostforce=on - vhost=on + vhostforce=on - and even vhost=on + vhostforce=off - they are all equal. Let's finally deprecate the extra option. Also, fix @vhostforce documentation.

[PATCH] qemuxmlconftest: Add example for "sgio='filtered'" disk option
by Peter Krempa 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> The test suite validates only the error with the "sgio='unfiltered'" setting which isn't supported by the qemu driver.
