[1] We do allow capabilities captured from the currently in development tree but: - they must be based on a commit from official qemu git - you will have to update them to the final version once qemu-N+1 releases. But since it's not merged yet your patch will need to stay RFC. Please make sure thoug to note it in the capabilities patch that it's not the final version yet so that there's no confusion. Your patch looked like it was something which already exists based on the commit message and I didn't read the cover letter because I wasn't too interested in the series itself, I'm just making sure that capabilities dumps are handled properly so that I don't have to deal with it later.

[PATCH 0/1] [RFC] Live migration support for ch driver
by Stefan Kober 10 Jun '25

10 Jun '25

This change serves as a proof of concept that adds live migration support to the Cloud Hypervisor driver. It is meant to show feasibility and to receive early feedback. I tested the live migration by invoking: virsh -c ch:///session migrate --domain vmName --desturi ch+ssh://dstHost/session --live Opens: * What is required for a minimal viable live migration to be merged? * Job state tracking? (virDomainObjBeginJob, ...) * What should 'virsh domjobinfo' show? * Testing? * Anything else?

Question about managed/unmanaged persistent reservation disks
by Annie Li 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Hello, I've been looking at source code related to persistent reservation and got confused a little bit about managed persistent reservation disks. For disk configured with 'managed=yes' as the following, <reservations managed='yes'> <source type='unix' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-7-brml10g19-iscsi-rese/pr-helper0.sock' mode='client'/> </reservations> libvirt is responsible for starting a pr-helper program with a specific associated socket file. The following source code shows that there is only one pr-helper and socket file associated with the managed disks for one VM. const char * qemuDomainGetManagedPRAlias(void) { return "pr-helper0"; } char * qemuDomainGetManagedPRSocketPath(qemuDomainObjPrivate *priv) { return g_strdup_printf("%s/%s.sock", priv->libDir, qemuDomainGetManagedPRAlias()); } So if the VM is booted with multiple disks configured with 'managed=yes' for reservation, I suppose these multiple disks share the this managed pr-helper and socket file. However, per the qemu document, https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/interop/pr-helper.html <https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/interop/pr-helper.html> "It is invalid to send multiple commands concurrently on the same socket. It is however possible to connect multiple sockets to the helper and send multiple commands to the helper for one or more file descriptors." Due to this limitation above, only one persistent reservation disk is allowed as managed in theory. However, libvirt doesn't throw out any error or warning when the VM is booted up with multiple managed persistent reservation disks. I am wondering if I've missed something here? For unmanaged persistent reservation disks, libvirt doesn't start the pr-helper program for them. It is user's responsibility to start this program with customized socket file per disk, but the complexity increases with numbers of persistent reservation disks, especially in the case of hotplug/hotunplog. Is there any plan to support multiple managed persistent reservation disks with separate pr-helper/socket file? Any suggestions/clarifications are greatly appreciated. Thanks Annie

[PATCH v3 0/2] Fix forward type=hostdev nets for apparmor
by Tim Small 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Fixes a bug whereby apparmor permissions aren't granted to allow a PCI SR-IOV virtual function to be used in a kvm guest when the VF is defined via a forward type='hostdev' network (as per the 'hostdev' option documented here: https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#connectivity ). Downstream bug here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993856 qemu accesses these PCI virtual functions using the vfio API, so no additional permissions to access to the PCI device resources etc. via /sys/devices/pci[...]/resource et al. are necessary. This is a resend with fixed From in body for the patch emails, and change notes in patch emails. Thanks, Tim.
