[PATCH] docs: Add note about auto-generated aliases
by Stephen Finucane 23 Dec '25

23 Dec '25

We automatically generate an alias for virtually all devices if a user hasn't provided one [1]. Indicate this. Note that I have not listed all devices that support auto-generated aliases since that list would be liable to get stale rather quickly.

[PATCH v5 00/28] hw/i386/pc: Remove deprecated 2.6 and 2.7 PC machines
by Zhao Liu 19 Dec '25

19 Dec '25

Hi, A brief introduction from Philippe's v4: The versioned 'pc' and 'q35' machines up to 2.12 been marked as deprecated three releases ago, and are older than 6 years, so according to our support policy we can remove them. This series only includes the 2.6 and 2.7 machines removal, as it is a big enough number of LoC removed. Rest will follow. This v5 is based on the master branch at the commit 66ec38b6fa59 ("Merge tag 'pull-target-arm-20251201' of https://gitlab.com/pm215/qemu into staging"). (Main) changes since v4: * Completely remove the legacy CPU hotplug approach. - New patch 2-8. - Test CPU hot-plug & hot-unplug via qmp. * Keep "dma_enabled" property in fw_cfg_io_properties[] since Sun4u & Sun4v are still using it. - About more details, please see commit message of patch 15. * Temporarily keep these properties: "cpuid-0xb" (of X86CPU), "fill-mtrr-mask" (of X86CPU), "version" (of IOAPICCommonState). - These properties will be deprecated first before removal, in another series. * Keep "l3-cache" (of X86CPU) and "page-per-vq" (of VirtIOPCIProxy), since they are still in use (e.g., libvirt). Thank you everyone for the reviews and patience, and also thank you Philippe for the guidance and Igor for the patch.

[PATCH] qemu_dbus: Escape path to dbus-daemon socket if needed
by Michal Privoznik 19 Dec '25

19 Dec '25

From: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> According to [1] there are only few characters allowed in the path to the daemon socket (alphanum and some punctuation; notably, space is missing on the list). The rest must be escaped by '%NN' notation. Fortunately, g_uri_escape_string() with some carefully selected input values is able to escape the path. Almost - it considers tilde valid but DBus doesn't. Well, let's hope nobody has tilde in domain name. 1: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/blob/2dee5236088bcf690ba92b743a5… Closes: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/834 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> --- src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c b/src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c index 625884ad46..db0757b71d 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c @@ -119,6 +119,12 @@ static int qemuDBusWriteConfig(const char *filename, const char *path, bool privileged) { g_auto(virBuffer) buf = VIR_BUFFER_INITIALIZER; + /* Escape @path pointing to socket where the dbus-daemon is going to listen + * to.

[PATCH v2 0/5] qemu: Implement support for iommufd
by Nathan Chen 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

Hi, This is a follow up to the first patch series [0] for using iommufd to propagate DMA mappings to the kernel for VM-assigned host devices in a qemu VM. We add a new 'iommufd' attribute for hostdev devices to be associated with the iommufd object. For instance, specifying the iommufd object and associated hostdev in a VM definition: <devices> ... <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'> <driver iommufd='yes'/> <source> <address domain='0x0009' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x15' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'> <driver iommufd='yes'/> <source> <address domain='0x0019' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x16' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> ... </devices> This would get translated to a qemu command line with the arguments below. Note that libvirt will open the /dev/iommu and VFIO cdev, passing the associated fd number to qemu: -object '{"qom-type":"iommufd","id":"iommufd0","fd":"24"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0009:01:00.0","id":"hostdev0","iommufd":"iommufd0","fd":"22","bus":"pci.21","addr":"0x0"}' \ -device '{"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0019:01:00.0","id":"hostdev1","iommufd":"iommufd0","fd":"25","bus":"pci.22","addr":"0x0"}' \ Note that when Libvirt launches the qemu process as an unprivileged user, i.e. libvirt-qemu, it is bound by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit calculated based on how much RAM is assigned to the VM. IOMMUFD's unified memory accounting causes ENOMEM errors for large device BARs that exceed the process memlock limit. VFIO without IOMMUFD does not check device memory against the limit and therefore does not show this behavior. To work around the issue, we can specify CAP_IPC_LOCK=ep capability for the qemu binary to bypass the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit. I am working on a long-term fix in the kernel to mark device memory regions so they do not count against the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit for how much memory can be locked/pinned, as I/O device BARs do not consume host RAM.

[PATCH] rpm: disable -Werror on ELN builds
by Daniel P. Berrangé 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com> The ELN build root performs rebuilds of Fedora rawhide packages with %{rhel} set instead of %{fedora}. The vast majority of the time this will "do the right thing", but when we control -Dwerror we chose to enable -Werror on RHEL on the basis that the GCC toolchain is stable and thus we don't expect new warnings to appear. That does not hold true for ELN which tracks rawhide GCC. Thus we have the rare situation where we should explicitly check %{eln} not just %{rhel}. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

[PATCH] hw/arm: Deprecate legacy VirtIO devices on big-endian guests
by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 18 Dec '25

We couldn't find a way (guest OS with VirtIO drivers) to test a legacy VirtIO device on a ARM vCPU running in big-endian. Deprecate for the v11.0 release, giving 1 year to users who really care to contribute functional tests.

[PATCH v3 21/51] qapi/migration: Deprecate capabilities commands
by Fabiano Rosas 16 Dec '25

16 Dec '25

The concept of capabilities is being merged into the concept of parameters. From now on, the commands that handle capabilities are deprecated in favor of the commands that handle parameters. Affected commands: - migrate-set-capabilities - query-migrate-capabilities Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru(a)redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <peterx(a)redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Fabiano Rosas <farosas(a)suse.de> --- docs/about/deprecated.rst | 10 ++++++++++ migration/migration-hmp-cmds.c | 6 ++++++ qapi/migration.json | 16 ++++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/about/deprecated.rst b/docs/about/deprecated.rst index ac31a2bce4..1949508efa 100644 --- a/docs/about/deprecated.rst +++ b/docs/about/deprecated.rst @@ -588,3 +588,13 @@ command documentation for details on the ``fdset`` usage.
