[PATCH 0/2] Extend hyperv host-model mode
by Michal Privoznik 13 Feb '26

13 Feb '26

Turns out, KubeVirt wants host-model mode for hyperv enlightenments to allow finer control over each enlightenment. For instance, set different number of spinlock than QEMU's default. Fair enough.

[PATCH] util: remove duplicate logging of firewall command
by Daniel P. Berrangé 12 Feb '26

12 Feb '26

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com> The vircommand.c code will always log the argv about to be run, so logging it again in virfirewall.c is redundant.

Maybe not that part needs significant changes as you could still use a flag the same way adding a parameter to object_property_add/get/set to tell it should put the propery in the internal hash but then you need to add the other hash and maybe related changes. I don't know how much would those be but no new interface is needed just extending existing one as you did already. Regards, BALATON Zoltan

[PATCH 00/20] qemu: Optimize calls to 'query-block'
by Peter Krempa 12 Feb '26

12 Feb '26

We call query-block on each start of a VM but as it turns out there isn't much information that we actually probe from it. This series: - refactors 'query-block' use - removes unneeded calls - adds support for upcoming more optimal mode (RFC) Patches 19 and 20 are RFC as the qemu patches weren't accepted yet. I'll post them also separately with a capability dump update once that hits upstream.

[PATCH] In virFDStreamRead(), fill buffer from this and next messages
by Erik Hulsmann 12 Feb '26

12 Feb '26

Before this change, buffers returned from virFDStreamRead() would alternate in size (262120 and 24), because it only consumed the bytes remaining from the current background thread message. As the background thread reads 262144 bytes (256kB) of data in each chunk, where the maximum size returned from virFDStreamRead() to be transferred over the remote protocol is only 262120, 24 bytes would be left in the buffer on each iteration. The next iteration leaves 24 bytes, which used to be returned without considering messages waiting in the queue.
