[PATCH 0/2] storage: Upgrade default qcow2 verion to 1.1
by Abhiram Tilak 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Right now the default qcow2 version if not specified explicitly, defaults to 0.10. Certain features like live snapshots, cluster size specification require 1.1 to work. This patch series aims at upgrading the qcow2 default image version, and use compatibility version 1.1 unless specified. This also requires correcting multiple testcases related to this compat version. If any other locations require changing, they will be added as a part of this series. Resolves: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/602 Abhiram Tilak (2): storage: change assigning qcow2 compat to 1.1 from 0.10 automatically storage: fix testcases on changing the default qcow2 compat to 1.1 src/storage/storage_util.c | 2 +- .../storagevolxml2argvdata/luks-convert-encrypt2fileqcow2.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-compat.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-from-logical-compat.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-luks-convert-encrypt.argv | 2 +- .../qcow2-luks-convert-encrypt2fileqcow2.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-luks.argv | 2 +- .../qcow2-nobacking-convert-prealloc-compat.argv | 2 +- .../storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-nobacking-prealloc-compat.argv | 2 +- .../qcow2-nocapacity-convert-prealloc.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-nocapacity.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-nocow-compat.argv | 2 +- tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/qcow2-zerocapacity.argv | 2 +- 13 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.42.1

[PATCH] qemu: Optimize CPU check='partial' for usable CPUs
by Jiri Denemark 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Ideally check='partial' would check exactly the features QEMU would want to enable when asked for a specific CPU model (and features). But there is no way we could ask QEMU how a specific CPU would look like. So we use our definition from CPU map, which may slightly differ as QEMU adds or removes features from CPU models, and thus we may end up checking features which QEMU would not enable while missing some required ones. We can do better in specific cases, though. If a CPU definition uses only a model and disabled features (or none at all), we already know whether QEMU can enable all features required by the CPU model as that's what we use to set usable='yes' attribute in the list of available CPU models in domain capbilities XML. So when a usable CPU model is requested without asking for additional features (disabling features is fine) we can avoid our possible inaccurate check using our CPU map. For backward compatibility we only consider usable models. If a specified model is not usable, we still check it the old way and even let QEMU start it (and disable some features) in case our definition lacks some features compared to QEMU.

[PATCH] cpu: x86: Check for invalid CPU data from hypervisor
by Jiri Denemark 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Recently a kernel bug caused QEMU to report a CPU feature as enabled while listing it in the "unavailable-features" list of features that were requested, but could not be enabled. The feature was actually enabled, but we marked it as disabled when starting a domain. Later when the domain is migrated, the destination requests the feature to be disabled, which breaks the guest ABI or if we are lucky QEMU just fails to load the migration stream. Let's make similar bugs more visible in the future by refusing to even start the domain.

join running core dump job
by Thanos Makatos 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Is there a way to programmatically wait for a previously initiated virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat() where the process that started it died? I'm looking at the API and don't seem to find anything relevant. I suppose I could poll via virDomainGetJobStats(), but, ideally, I'd like a function that would join the dump job and return when the dump job finishes.

Release of libvirt-10.1.0
by Jiri Denemark 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

The 10.1.0 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. * Security * ``CVE-2024-1441``: Fix off-by-one error leading to a crash In libvirt-1.0.0 there were couple of interface listing APIs introduced which had an off-by-one error. That error could lead to a very rare crash if an array was passed to those functions which did not fit all the interfaces. In libvirt-5.10 a check for non-NULL arrays has been adjusted to allow for NULL arrays with size 0 instead of rejecting all NULL arrays. However that made the above issue significantly worse since that off-by-one error now did not write beyond an array, but dereferenced said NULL pointer making the crash certain in a specific scenario in which a NULL array of size 0 was passed to the aforementioned functions. * New features * nodedev: Support updating mdevs The node device driver has been extended to allow updating mediated node devices. Options are available to target the update against the persistent, active or both configurations of a mediated device. Note: The support is only available with at least mdevctl v1.3.0 installed. * qemu: Add support for /dev/userfaultfd On hosts with new enough kernel which supports /dev/userfaultfd libvirt will now automatically grant QEMU access to this device. It's no longer needed to set vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd sysctl. * qemu: Support clusters in CPU topology It is now possible to configure the guest CPU topology to use clusters. Additionally, if CPU clusters are present in the host topology, they will be reported as part of the capabilities XML. * network: Make virtual domains resolvable from the host When starting a virtual network with a new ``register='yes'`` attribute in the ``<domain>`` element, libvirt will configure ``systemd-resolved`` to resolve names of the connected guests using the name server started for this network. * qemu: Introduce dynamicMemslots attribute for virtio-mem QEMU now allows setting ``.dynamic-memslots`` attribute for virtio-mem-pci devices. When turned on, it allows memory exposed to guest to be split into multiple memory slots and thus smaller memory footprint (see the original commit for detailed explanation). * Improvements * nodedev: Add ability to update persistent mediated devices by defining them Existing persistent mediated devices can now also be updated by ``virNodeDeviceDefineXML()`` as long as parent and UUID remain unchanged. * ch: Enable ``ethernet`` interface mode support ``<interface type='ethernet'/>`` can now be used for CH domains. * viraccessdriverpolkit: Add missing vtpm case Secrets with ``<usage type='vtpm'>`` were left unable to be checked for in the access driver, i.e. in ACL rules. Missing code was provided. * virt-admin: Notify users to use explicit URI if connection fails ``virt-admin`` doesn't try to guess the URI of the daemon to manage so a failure to connect may be confusing for users if modular daemons are used. Add a hint to use the URI of the dameon to manage. * Bug fixes * qemu_process: Skip over non-virtio non-TAP NIC models when refreshing rx-filter If ``trustGuestRxFilters`` is enabled for a vNIC that doesn't support it, libvirt may throw an error when such domain is being started, loaded from a saved state, migrated, etc. These errors are now silenced, but make sure to fix such configurations (after previous release it is even possible to change ``trustGuestRxFilters`` value on live domains via ``virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags()`` or ``virsh device-update``). * domain: Fix check for overlapping ``<memory/>`` devices A bug was identified which caused libvirt to report two NVDIMMs as overlapping even though they weren't. This now fixed. * vmx: Accept empty fileName for cdrom-image Turns out, ``fileName`` attribute (which contains path to CDROM image) can be set to an empty string (``""``) to denote a state in which the CDROM has no medium in it. Libvirt used to reject such configuration file, but not anymore. * qemu_hotplug: Don't lose 'created' flag in qemuDomainChangeNet() When starting a domain, libvirt tracks what resources it created for it and which were pre-existing and uses this information to preserve pre-existing resources when cleaning up after said domain is shut off. But for macvtaps this information was lost after the macvtap device was changed (e.g. via ``virsh update-device``). * Fix virStream hole handling When a client sent multiple holes into a virStream it may have caused daemon hangup as the daemon stopped processing RPC from the client temporarily. This is now fixed. * nodedev: Don't generate broken XML with certain hardware A broken node device XML would be generated in a rare case when a hardware device had certain characters in the VPD fields. * qemu: Fix reservation of manually specified port for disk migration A manually specified port would not be relased after disk migration making it impossible to use it again. Enjoy. Jirka
