[PATCH] qemu: add automatic port allocation for pull-mode backup NBD servers
by Lucas Amaral 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

Previously, users had to manually specify a TCP port when starting a pull-mode backup with an NBD server. A TODO comment in qemuBackupPrepare() noted this limitation and pointed toward using virPortAllocator, as done for migration, VNC, and SPICE ports. Add backup_port_min and backup_port_max configuration options to qemu.conf, defaulting to 10809-10872 (10809 is the IANA-assigned NBD port; range of 64 matches the migration port pattern). When a pull-mode backup is started without specifying a TCP port, a port is now acquired automatically from the configured range via virPortAllocatorAcquire(). The port is released when the backup ends or if startup fails. Signed-off-by: Lucas Amaral <lucaaamaral(a)gmail.com> --- Build-tested and passed full test suite on CentOS Stream 9 (298 OK, 0 failures). Runtime-validated against an actual patched virtqemud instance running inside a privileged container (CentOS Stream 9, QEMU 10.1.0) with a live aarch64/virt guest. Config parsing validation: - Default config (no backup_port_* set): daemon starts OK - Custom range (backup_port_min=20000, backup_port_max=20010): daemon starts OK - Invalid (min > max): daemon correctly refuses to start - Invalid (min = 0): daemon correctly refuses to start - Invalid (max > 65535): daemon correctly refuses to start Port auto-allocation (live VM backup): - Pull-mode backup WITHOUT port specified: backup-begin succeeds, backup-dumpxml shows auto-allocated port='10809' from default range. Previously this would fail with: "<domainbackup> must specify TCP port for now" - Pull-mode backup WITH explicit port=10809: backup-begin succeeds, backup-dumpxml shows port='10809'. Behavior unchanged from before the patch. Port conflict and exhaustion (range set to 10809-10810, 3 VMs): - Auto-allocate on vm1 (got 10809), then manual port=10809 on vm2: QEMU correctly rejects with "Address already in use" - Auto-allocate vm1=10809, vm2=10810 (range full), vm3 attempt: "Unable to find an unused port in range 'backup' (10809-10810)" - After aborting vm1 backup (releasing 10809), vm3 retries and gets 10809: port release and reuse works correctly docs/formatbackup.rst | 3 ++- src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug | 2 ++ src/qemu/qemu.conf.in | 9 ++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_backup.c | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 6 ++++++ src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 6 ++++++ src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 2 ++ 9 files changed, 76 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/formatbackup.rst b/docs/formatbackup.rst index df6392e3bd..24857eaf72 100644 --- a/docs/formatbackup.rst +++ b/docs/formatbackup.rst @@ -42,7 +42,8 @@ were supplied).

[PATCH] qemuMigrationSrcBeginPhase: Don't call 'qemuBlockNodesEnsureActive' with offline VM
by Peter Krempa 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> Commits 7b5566ce67b18a and f879d5f40385358 ( v11.8.0-92-gf879d5f403 ) moved around code for re-activating block backends after migration. While previously it was done when migration failed now we do it when we need qemu to do some block operations. Commit 7b5566ce67b18a introduced a bug where 'qemuBlockNodesEnsureActive' is called also when the VM is offline (for migration with 'VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE'). That doesn't work though as attempting to enter the monitor of an inactive VM returns failure. Address it by calling 'qemuBlockNodesEnsureActive' only on active VMs during migration.

Thanks Daniel for the review, I fixed the indent in the previous mail but realized afterwards that I need to add an other improvement to the patch, even though functionally, the previous patch works.

A few questions about libvirt-java

Hi, I've been working in a downstream project using libvirt-java to manage resources in libvirt from our application written in Java. The library has been working well so far, but I'm interested in contributing further improvements of the library, such as; - Replace finalize by more modern mechanisms such as (Auto)Closeable (finalize is deprecated in recent OpenJDK versions) - Complete migration to maven (to get rid of maven-ant-tasks which was already retired) However some of the planned contributions (especially the ones listed above) have relatively large impact and I'd like to ask a few questions so that so that we can drive the effort more smoothly. 1. Do you think that these are good/reasonable improvements ? 2. May I request a new release ? The last release (0.5.3) was released 4 years ago and several changes such as new features have been merged since then. Creating a release allows us to mave backword incompatible changes with less user impact. 3. Can we bump minimum JDK version ? Current minimum JSK version supported by the library is 1.8.0 but this is quite old ELS. I wonder if we can bump it to a newer version such as OpenJDK 17 or even 21. This is required to replace "finalize". Is there requirement about the platform the library should support ? Any feedback or guidance is very much appreciated !
