[PATCH v4 0/2] Fix virtio console port assignment issue
by Aaron M. Brown 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Changelog: --- v4: - Update commit messages --- v3: - Added Reviewed-By - Included CI Results Link --- v2: - Split patch into two commits - Added fixes tag --- This libvirt patch does the following: 1. fixes an issue with virtio console device port assignment on vioserial buses 2. updates console port reservation comment and changes the allowZero variable to allowPortZero for clarity Currently in libvirt, a virtio console device cannot be assigned a port number greater than zero on a vioserial bus. This leads to port collision errors when adding more than 1 virtio console device on a single vioserial bus. After applying this patch, one can add multiple console ports under a single vioserial bus. Here is a link to CI results for this series: https://gitlab.com/aaronbmalik/libvirt/-/pipelines/1832324065 Aaron M.

[PATCH] libxl_capabilities: Make some functions return void
by Michal Privoznik 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

From: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> Inside of libxlMakeDomainCapabilities() there are some functions called and basically all of them never return anything but zero (indicating success). Yet, they are called in a fashion that suggests otherwise. Turn those functions into void and drop checks for their retvals.

[PATCH v2 0/4] conf: graphics def and parse refactor
by Kirill Shchetiniuk 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

This series refactors the existing parse logic by using the proper utility functions, it also contains some parameters type changes to void unnecessary type convertions. 1. 'VNC' graphics pasing were refactored to use the vitXMLProp* utility functions. 'autoport' and 'websocketGenerated' remain their bool type, as this structure members can be also modified later and not only determined by the initial XML definition. 2. 'RDP' graphics refactored same as VNC graphics, except that 'multiUser' and 'replaceUser' types changed from bool to tristateBool, as parameters are determined only by the initial XML. 3. 'SDL' graphics fullscreen option type changed from bool to tristateBool, to avoid unnecessary type convertions. 4. 'desktop' graphics fullscreen option is removed as it was never used.

[PATCH] qemu: command: Don't attempt to set backend MTU for networks which don't use host backend directly
by Peter Krempa 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> Attempting to set MTU for network types which don't actually use the network device on the host results in a failure. The 'mtu' property is also used e.g. for the 'host_mtu' property of e.g. 'virtio-net-pci' which is applied even in vhost-user mode. Use the existing switch which selects devices without a network device backend on the host side and skip setting the MTU. Tested by running 'passt' in vhost-user mode manually: passt -f --vhost-user -s /tmp/vh.sock and the following XML: <interface type="vhostuser"> <mac address="52:54:00:3d:91:97"/> <source type="unix" path="/tmp/vh.sock" mode="client"/> <model type="virtio"/> <mtu size="9999"/> <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x02" function="0x0"/> </interface> The OS in the guest reports MTU 9999.

[PATCH 00/11] Support for emulated NVMe disks in VMX and QEMU
by Martin Kletzander 02 Jun '25

I took the liberty of adjusting Hongwei's QEMU series and made further adjustments so that the common code can be used for reporting NVMe disks from VMX as well. I added SoBs where I thought applicable, but feel free to correct me and/or agree with me. This series fixes https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-7390 in the middle, but adds more than just that.

Release of libvirt-11.4.0
by Jiri Denemark 02 Jun '25

02 Jun '25

The 11.4.0 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. * New features * qemu: ppc64 POWER11 processor support Support for the recently released IBM POWER11 processor was added. * Packaging changes * All helper programs are now detected from ``$PATH`` during runtime All of the code was now converted to dynamically look up helper programs in ``$PATH`` rather than doing the lookup at build time and then compiling in the result. Programs ``mount``, ``umount``, ``mkfs``, ``modprobe``, ``rmmod``, ``numad``, ``dmidecode``, ``ip``, ``tc``, ``mdevctl``, ``mm-ctl``, ``iscsiadm``, ``ovs-vsctl``, ``pkttyagent``, ``bhyveload``, ``bhyvectl``, ``bhyve``, ``ifconfig``, ``vzlist``, ``vzctl``, ``vzmigrate``, and the tools from the lvm suite (``vgchange``, ``lvcreate``, etc..) are now not needed during build and will still work properly if placed in ``$PATH``. This also ensures that libvirt works correctly on distros that are transitioning ``/sbin`` into ``/bin`` and upgraded installations have a different layout from fresh installations. * Improvements * virsh: Add option ``--no-pkttyagent`` That option suppresses registration of pkttyagent with polkitd. * bhyve: support NVRAM configuration for UEFI firmwares The bhyve driver now supports specifying NVRAM store file, such as:: <os firmware='efi'> <nvram/> </os> * qemu: Improve accuracy of FDC/floppy device support statement in capabilities XML The data is now based on the presence of the controller in qemu rather than just a denylist of machine types where floppies not work. * Bug fixes * qemu: Fix failure when reverting to internal snapshots A regression in ``libvirt-11.2`` and ``libvirt-11.3`` prevents reverting to an internal snapshot. Attempts to revert would produce the following error:: error: operation failed: load of internal snapshot 'foo1' job failed: Device 'libvirt-1-format' is writable but does not support snapshots The only workaround is to avoid the broken versions. * qemu: Fix virtqemud crash when resuming failed post-copy migration A regression introduced in ``libvirt-11.2.0`` caused virtqemud on the destination host to crash when trying to resume failed post-copy migration. * qemu: Treat the ``queues`` configuration of ``virtio-net`` as guest ABI The queue count itself isn't a device frontend property but libvirt uses it to calculate ``vectors`` option of the device which is a guest OS visible property, thus ``queues`` must not change during migration. The ABI stability check now handles this properly. Enjoy. Jirka

[RFC PATCH 0/5] qemu: Implement support for iommufd and multiple vSMMUs
by Nathan Chen 31 May '25

31 May '25

Hi, This is a follow up to the first RFC patchset [0] for supporting multiple vSMMU instances in a qemu VM. This patchset also introduces support for using iommufd to propagate DMA mappings to kernel for assigned devices. This patchset implements support for specifying multiple <iommu> devices within the VM definition when smmuv3Dev IOMMU model is specified, and is tested with Shameer's latest qemu RFC for HW-accelerated vSMMU devices [1] Moreover, it adds a new 'iommufd' member for virDomainIOMMUDef, in order to represent the iommufd object in qemu command line. This patchset also implements new 'iommufdId' and 'iommufdFd' attributes for hostdev devices to be associated with the iommufd object. For instance, specifying the iommufd object and associated hostdev in a VM definition with multiple IOMMUs, configured to be routed to pcie-expander-bus controllers in a way where VFIO device to SMMUv3 associations are matched with the host (pcie-expander-bus and pcie-root-port controllers are no longer auto-added/auto-routed like in the first revision of this RFC, as the PCIe topology will be configured by management apps): <devices> ... <controller type='pci' index='1' model='pcie-expander-bus'> <model name='pxb-pcie'/> <target busNr='252'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pcie-expander-bus'> <model name='pxb-pcie'/> <target busNr='248'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </controller> ... <controller type='pci' index='21' model='pcie-root-port'> <model name='pcie-root-port'/> <target chassis='21' port='0x0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='22' model='pcie-root-port'> <model name='pcie-root-port'/> <target chassis='22' port='0xa8'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> ... <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'> <source> <address domain='0x0009' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <iommufdId>iommufd0</iommufdId> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x15' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'> <source> <address domain='0x0019' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <iommufdId>iommufd0</iommufdId> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x16' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <iommu model='smmuv3Dev'> <iommufd> <id>iommufd0</id> </iommufd> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </iommu> <iommu model='smmuv3Dev'> <iommufd> <id>iommufd0</id> </iommufd> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </iommu> </devices> This would get translated to a qemu command line with the arguments below: -device '{"driver":"pxb-pcie","bus_nr":252,"id":"pci.1","bus":"pcie.0","addr":"0x1"}' \ -device '{"driver":"pxb-pcie","bus_nr":248,"id":"pci.2","bus":"pcie.0","addr":"0x2"}' \ -device '{"driver":"pcie-root-port","port":0,"chassis":21,"id":"pci.21","bus":"pci.1","addr":"0x0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"pcie-root-port","port":168,"chassis":22,"id":"pci.22","bus":"pci.2","addr":"0x0"}' \ -object '{"qom-type":"iommufd","id":"iommufd0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"arm-smmuv3-accel","bus":"pci.1"}' \ -device '{"driver":"arm-smmuv3-accel","bus":"pci.2"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0009:01:00.0","id":"hostdev0","iommufd":"iommufd0","bus":"pci.21","addr":"0x0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0019:01:00.0","id":"hostdev1","iommufd":"iommufd0","bus":"pci.22","addr":"0x0"}' \ If users would like to leverage qemu's iommufd feature to open the VFIO cdev and /dev/iommu via an external management layer, the fd can be specified like so in the VM definition: <devices> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x12' function='0x2'/> </source> <iommufdId>iommufd0</iommufdId> <iommufdFd>23</iommufdFd> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <iommu model='intel'> <iommufd> <id>iommufd0</id> <fd>22</fd> </iommufd> </iommu> </devices> This would get translated to a qemu command line with the arguments below: -object '{"qom-type":"iommufd","id":"iommufd0","fd":"22"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0000:06:12.2","id":"hostdev1","iommufd":"iommufd0","fd":"23","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x3"}' \ Summary of changes: - Introduced support for specifying multiple <iommu> stanzas in the VM XML definition when using smmuv3Dev model. - Automating PCIe topology to populate VM definition with multiple vSMMUs routed to pcie-expander-bus controllers is excluded, in favor of deferring creation of PXBs and routing of VFIO devices to management apps. - Introduced iommufd support. TODO: - I updated the namespace and cgroup configuration to allow access to iommufd paths at /dev/vfio/devices/vfio* and /dev/iommu. However, qemu needs to be launched with user and group set to 'root' in order for these paths to be accessible. A passthrough device represented by /dev/vfio/18 normally has 'root' user and group permissions, but in the mount namespace it's changed to 'libvirt-qemu' and 'kvm'. I wasn't able to discern where this is happening by looking at src/qemu/qemu_namespace.c and src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c. Would you have any pointers on how to change the iommufd paths' user and group permissions in the libvirt mount namespace?

[RFC PATCH 0/2] Fix forward type=hostdev nets for apparmor
by Tim Small 30 May '25

30 May '25

I'm working on a fix for 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 I'm not sure if the attached patches are sufficient. When I compare the apparmor permissions file for a guest with a VF shared via forward type='hostdev' vs. the same guest with a VF shared via a PCI hostdev device, the latter has extra apparmor permissions for files like: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource3_wc" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource0_wc" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource3" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/vendor" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/reset" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/device" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/resource0" rw, "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:10.0/config" rw, ... however both guests appear to function in my test environment (Debian 13, 6.12.22-amd64) - i.e. both with and without those entries. So I don't know if those permissions are unneeded, or if they are granted at runtime instead. If those permissions are needed, then I'd appreciate any hints on how to modify virt-aa-helper to discover the PCI address. I appreciate that might not actually be possible because that is dynamically allocated, and so might race - so some other solution might be required. Many Thanks, Tim.

[PATCH] virConnectAuthCallbackDefault: Return failure if 'virGetPassword' returns NULL
by Peter Krempa 29 May '25

From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> virGetPassword can return NULL on linux or BSD if it fails. The caller in virConnectAuthCallbackDefault does dereference it unconditionally.

[PATCH 00/15] storage_file_probe: Fix ancient bug in qcow2 header extensions parser and refactor the image probing callbacks
by Peter Krempa 29 May '25

29 May '25

Patch 3 fixes an almost 15 year old bug in the qcow2 header extension parser which breaks when the qcow2 image has more than 1 header extension. For us it caused problems for qcow2 images with data file and backing file which we didn't use before, and the only field we cared about was always put first by qemu. Ironically we did have a test file that had such config but it was missed in the test output. Patches 1, 2 are refinment of debug tools I used to see what's happening. Patch 4 adds bitmaps to some test images. We don't parse them but just to be sure. The rest of the series refactors the metadata parser callbacks with the end goal to not parse the qcow2 header extensions twice.
