[PATCH 0/6] ch: handle events from cloud-hypervisor
by Purna Pavan Chandra Aekkaladevi 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

cloud-hypervisor raises various events, including VM lifecylce operations such as boot, shutdown, pause, resume, etc. Libvirt will now read these events and take the necessary actions, such as correctly updating the domain state. A FIFO file is passed to `--event-monitor` option of cloud-hypervisor. Libvirt creates a new thread that acts as the reader of the fifo file and continuously monitors for new events. Currently, shutdown events are handled by updating the domain state appropriately.

Release of libvirt-10.8.0
by Jiri Denemark 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

The 10.8.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and signed tarballs are available at https://download.libvirt.org/ https://download.libvirt.org/python/ Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches, reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly appreciated. * Improvements * network: make networks with ``<forward mode='open'/>`` more useful It is now permissable to have a ``<forward mode='open'>`` network that has no IP address assigned to the host's port of the bridge. This is the only way to create a libvirt network where guests are unreachable from the host (and vice versa) and also 0 firewall rules are added on the host. It is now also possible for a ``<forward mode='open'/>`` network to use the ``zone`` attribute of ``<bridge>`` to set the firewalld zone of the bridge interface (normally it would not be set, as is done with other forward modes). * storage: Lessen dependancy on the ``showmount`` program Libvirt now automatically detects presence of ``showmount`` during runtime as we do with other helper programs and also the ``daemon-driver-storage-core`` RPM package now doesn't strongly depend on it if the users wish for a more minimal deployment. * Switch from YAJL to json-c for JSON parsing and formatting The parser and formatter in the libvirt library, as well as the parsers in the nss plugin were rewritten to use json-c instead of YAJL, which is effectively dead upstream. * Relax restrictions for memorytune settings It should now be possible to use resctrl on AMD CPUs as well as Intel CPUs when the resctrl filesystem is mounted with ``mba_MBps`` option. * Bug fixes * virsh: Fix script-friedly output of ``virsh list --uuid`` The script-friendly output of just 1 UUID per line was mistakenly replaced by the full human-targetted table view full of redundant information and very hard to parse. Users who wish to see the UUIDs in the tabular output need to use ``virsh list --table --uuid`` as old behaviour was reverted. Note that this also broke the ``libvirt-guests`` script. The bug was introduced in `v10.7.0 (2024-09-02)`_. * network/qemu: fix some cases where ``device-update`` of a network interface was failing: * If the interface was connected to a libvirt network that was providing a pool of VFs to be used with macvtap passthrough mode, then *any* update to the interface would fail, even changing the link state. Updating (the updateable parts of) a macvtap passthrough interface will now succeed. * It previously was not possible to move an interface from a Linux host bridge to an OVS bridge. This (and the opposite direction) now works. * qemu: backup: Fix possible crashes when running monitoring commands during backup job The qemu monitor code was fixed to not crash in specific cases when monitoing APIs are called during a backup job. * Fix various memleaks and overflows Multiple memory leaks and overflows in corner cases were fixed based on upstream issues reported. * network: Better cleanup after disappeared networks If a network disappeared while virtnetworkd was not running not all clean up was done properly once the daemon was started, especially when only the network interface disappeared. This could have in some cases resulted in the network being shown as inactive, but not being able to start. * qemu: Remember memory backing directory for domains If ``memory_backing_dir`` is changed during the lifetime of a domain with file backed memory, files in the old directory would not be cleaned up once the domain is shut down. Now the directory that was used during startup is remembered for each running domain. Enjoy. Jirka

[PATCH] (for 10.8.0? undecided) qemu: fix regression in update-device for interfaces
by Laine Stump 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Commit a37bd2a15b8f2e7aa09519c86fe1ba1e59ce113f eliminated a failure to update *any* change in an interface that was connected via a network that consisted of a pool of VFs using macvtap passthrough mode. Unfortunately it caused a regression that results in failure to update changes to bandwidth/vlan/trustGuestRxFilters in any interface connected via a network that uses a bridge to connect tap devices. This fixes that problem by narrowing the usage of the fix in the earlier patch to only be done in the case that the the interface is connected via a macvtap+passthrough network. Signed-off-by: Laine Stump <laine(a)redhat.com> Fixes: a37bd2a15b8f2e7aa09519c86fe1ba1e59ce113f --- The alternatives to this are: 1) revert a37bd2a15b8f2e7aa09519c86fe1ba1e59ce113f (but I haven't checked yet if that will cause problems with the other patches in that same series) to eliminate the regression but also unfix the bug that was fixed, or 2) Do nothing and release with the regression.
