[libvirt] [PATCH v3] qemu.conf: Make nvram list obsolete
by Michal Privoznik 02 May '19

02 May '19

Now that libvirt has firmware auto selection feature the nvram config knob is more or less obsolete. It still makes sense in cases where distro users are using does not provide FW descriptor files, therefore I'm not removing it.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/1] util/virhostdev: consolidate duplicated KVM support code
by Daniel Henrique Barboza 02 May '19

02 May '19

tests/virhostdevtest.c implements a function called 'virHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughKVM', that is equal to 'qemuHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughLegacy' that is declared inside qemu/qemu_hostdev.c. This patch removes the duplicated code from both files and and puts it inside util/virhostdev.c, under the name virHostdev...KVM, which represents what the code does better than using 'Legacy'.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Disable console device detach from live mode.
by Julio Faracco 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Console Char devices cannot be attached as qemuDomainChrRemove() function suggests. After moved to async mode, qemuDomainRemoveChrDevice() is not part of the removal process.

[libvirt] Entering freeze for libvirt-5.3.0
by Daniel Veillard 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

One day late but RC1 is tagged in git, and I pushed the signed tarball and rpms to the new usual place, it's the same dir, same content, just though https https://libvirt.org/sources/ Looks fine in my minimal testing, but give it a try especially on diverse system and architecture. The fact that https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt/ is all green except for one edge case is also a good indication. So assuming everything goes as planned, I think RC2 should be cut on Tuesday and we can plan for a May 2nd final release is everything goes well. Give it a good testing, thanks !

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] conf: DEF_FEATURE tweaks
by Cole Robinson 30 Apr '19

After the net model enum patches, the test driver started rejecting non-enum model strings. It should continue to accept unknown models and generally act closer to the qemu driver.

[libvirt] [PATCH] lib: Preserve error around virDomainNetReleaseActualDevice()
by Michal Privoznik 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

This function is calling public API virNetworkLookupByName() which resets the error. Therefore, if virDomainNetReleaseActualDevice() is used in cleanup path it actually resets the original error that got us jump into 'cleanup' label. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> --- I've found this issue when trying to change QoS on an domain's <interface/> and I've intentionally entered @floor bigger than corresponding network's average. Orders bigger. I mean, with this change the QoS is still kind of broken [1] but at least I'm getting some sensible error instead of "An error occurred, but the cause is unknown". 1: Thing is, when an <interface type='network'/> is being updated (virsh update-device) then a new interface is actually created (virDomainNetAllocateActualDevice() is called), which is then set up and the old interface is then released. This works in theory, but for a fraction of a second we have two interfaces. Therefore the sum of their @floor-s might exceed the limit (which is MAX(network average, network peak)) and thus allocating new device will fail. Unfortunately, I don't have any bright idea around this. Maybe temporary setting newdev->bandwidth = NULL; then allocating new device and trying to set new bandwidth ourselves? That is still going to fail until the old interface is not released.
