[libvirt PATCH] network: do not assume dnsmasq in networkUpdateState
by Ján Tomko 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

If we don't have dnsmasq, it's pointless to try to find its pidfile. Also, dnsmasqCapsGetBinaryPath would access a NULL pointer.

[libvirt] [RFC] support vhost-user-scsi configuration
by wangjian (AN) 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Hi Guys, Currently qemu and spdk already support vhost-user-scsi, but there is no vhost-user-scsi configuration in libvirt. We hope that libvirt supports the following configurations to facilitate docking with qemu. <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='vhost-user-scsi'> <driver queues='4'/> <source type='unix' path='/var/tmp/scsi'> <reconnect enabled='yes' timeout='3'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </controller> The usage in qemu like this: -chardev socket,id=chr-vu-virtio-disk10,path=/var/tmp/scsi,reconnect=3 -device vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=4,bus=pci.2,addr=0x0,chardev=chr-vu-virtio-disk10,id=scsi0 Could anyone give some suggestions?

[PATCH v2] qemu: Fix domxml-to-native command failure
by Zhenzhong Duan 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

virsh command domxml-to-native failed with below error but start command succeed for same domain xml. "internal error: invalid PCI passthrough type 'default'" If host PCI device's driver attribute isn't defined in domain xml, qemu driver will choose a proper value based on host environment before starting qemu process. But this is missed in domxml-to-native command, add the same logic so domxml-to-native could pass and replace the relevant code in qemuHostdevPreparePCIDevicesCheckSupport() with an error report.

Improve default machine type selection
by Jim Fehlig 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

If an explicit machine type is not specified in the VM config, the qemu driver will select the first machine type in the list of machine types for the specified accelerator. See virQEMUCapsGetPreferredMachine https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities… On my test machines, this works reasonably well for x86_64 where the first machine type is pc-i440fx-7.1. But for aarch64, the first machine is integratorcp, which is not very useful with maxCpus=1 and other limitations. Would it be possible to select a "better" default machine type? E.g. 'pc' for x86_64, 'virt' for aarch64, etc. I'm happy to work on this if folks deem it's a reasonable improvement. It would benefit tools like the libvirt terraform provider, which prefer to use something more generic like <type>hvm</type>. Regards, Jim

[PATCH v2 00/10] Deprecate/rename singlestep command line option, monitor interfaces
by Peter Maydell 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

The command line option '-singlestep' and its HMP equivalent the 'singlestep' command are very confusingly named, because they have nothing to do with single-stepping the guest (either via the gdb stub or by emulation of guest CPU architectural debug facilities). What they actually do is put TCG into a mode where it puts only one guest instruction into each translation block. This is useful for some circumstances such as when you want the -d debug logging to be easier to interpret, or if you have a finicky guest binary that wants to see interrupts delivered at something other than the end of a basic block. The confusing name is made worse by the fact that our documentation for these is so minimal as to be useless for telling users what they really do. This series: * changes the command line interface: for user-mode emulators, the new option is '-one-insn-per-tb', and for system mode emulators it is a TCG accel property '-accel tcg,one-insn-per-tb=on' * updates all the places which currently directly touch the 'singlestep' global variable to instead get the current accelerator and query/set the QOM property * documents that the old -singlestep option is deprecated * adds a new HMP command 'one-insn-per-tb', and deprecates the old 'singlestep' command. (Strictly we don't need to deprecate HMP commands, but I'd already written the code for v1 of this series and it's a minor user convenience.) * makes the HMP 'info status' output report "one insn per TB" instead of "single step mode" * adds a new 'one-insn-per-tb' member to the QMP StatusInfo type, and deprecates the old 'singlestep' field Notes: * I hope I have got the QMP changes and deprecation right, but that's probably the bit in most need of review from an expert * There's an argument for just dropping the reporting of one-insn-per-tb in QMP StatusInfo at all, except that (a) it's hard to know if anybody's really using it (b) then the info isn't reported to HMP 'info status', which wouldn't line up with HMP having a mechanism to get/set the value * I have written patch 3 on the assumption that curr_cflags() is not such a hot codepath that we can't afford to have a QOM cast macro in it; the alternative would be to keep it using a global variable but make the global be restricted to accel/tcg/internals.h. RTH: opinions welcome... * Still haven't tested on bsd-user, but the patch is identical to the linux-user change thanks -- PMM Peter Maydell (10): make one-insn-per-tb an accel option softmmu: Don't use 'singlestep' global in QMP and HMP commands tcg: Use one-insn-per-tb accelerator property in curr_cflags() linux-user: Add '-one-insn-per-tb' option equivalent to '-singlestep' bsd-user: Add '-one-insn-per-tb' option equivalent to '-singlestep' Document that -singlestep command line option is deprecated hmp: Add 'one-insn-per-tb' command equivalent to 'singlestep' hmp: Report 'one-insn-per-tb', not 'single step mode', in 'info status' output qapi/run-state.json: Fix missing newline at end of file hmp: Deprecate 'singlestep' member of StatusInfo docs/about/deprecated.rst | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/interop/qmp-intro.txt | 1 + docs/user/main.rst | 14 ++++++++++++-- qapi/run-state.json | 19 +++++++++++++++---- accel/tcg/internal.h | 16 ++++++++++++++++ include/exec/cpu-common.h | 3 --- include/monitor/hmp.h | 2 +- accel/tcg/cpu-exec.c | 5 +++-- accel/tcg/tcg-all.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++-------------- bsd-user/main.c | 14 +++++++++----- linux-user/main.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ softmmu/globals.c | 1 - softmmu/runstate-hmp-cmds.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++---- softmmu/runstate.c | 12 +++++++++++- softmmu/vl.c | 17 +++++++++++++++-- tests/qtest/test-hmp.c | 1 + hmp-commands.hx | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++---- qemu-options.hx | 12 ++++++++++-- tcg/tci/README | 2 +- 19 files changed, 199 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1

[PATCH] security: do not remember/recall labels for VFIO MDEVs
by Eric Farman 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Commit dbf1f68410 ("security: do not remember/recall labels for VFIO") rightly changed the DAC and SELinux labeling parameters to fix a problem with "VFIO hostdevs" but really only addressed the PCI codepaths. As a result, we can still encounter this with VFIO MDEVs such as vfio-ccw and vfio-ap, which can fail on a hotplug: [test@host ~]# mdevctl stop -u 11f2d2bc-4083-431d-a023-eff72715c4f0 [test@host ~]# mdevctl start -u 11f2d2bc-4083-431d-a023-eff72715c4f0 [test@host ~]# cat disk.xml <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='mdev' model='vfio-ccw'> <source> <address uuid='11f2d2bc-4083-431d-a023-eff72715c4f0'/> </source> <address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x3c51'/> </hostdev> [test@host ~]# virsh attach-device guest ~/disk.xml error: Failed to attach device from /home/test/disk.xml error: Requested operation is not valid: Setting different SELinux label on /dev/vfio/3 which is already in use Make the same changes as reported in commit dbf1f68410, for the mdev paths.
