[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] qemu: always use blockdev non-shared storage migration with blockdev (blockdev-add saga)
by Peter Krempa 05 Sep '19

Once we enable blockdev there's no need to stick to drive mirror for non-shared-storage migration.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/6] hostdev: handle usb detach/attach on node
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi, all. This patch series aims to handle case when hostdev usb is detached and then attached back on node. Currently libvirtd does not track these events so that in the result hostdev usb is not usable. On the first glace it make sense to delete device from qemu when hostdev is detached on node and then add device back when hostdev is attached back. But these series adds a different behaviour. On detaching device is deleted from qemu and dummy (missing hostaddr and hostbus values) hostdev is inserted, then on attaching device on node dummy device is deleted and proper one is inserted. This way we have the same semantics of 'missing' flag for hostdev as in case of hostdev missing on startup/migration to different host. Also with such approach we additionally handle cases when hostdev is missing on startup but later is attached to node. Known issues: The last patch tries to handle case when hostdev attached/detached when libvirtd is down but if fails in one scenario. If hostdev is detached and thus dummy device in inserted in qemu then if libvirtd is down and hostdev is attached to node then qemu tries to bind appeared hostdev to the dummy device but fails as device is missing in qemu's mount namespace. Later when libvirtd is up and tries to replace dummy device with actual one the device_add fails because libusb the qemu uses tracks that deviced was missed ealier. For this reason I proposed to get rid of dummy device in RFC [1]. Alternatively libusb can be fixed.

[libvirt] Release of libvirt 5.7.0
by Daniel Veillard 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

A few hours ago I tagged the release in git and pushed the signed tarball and source rpm to the usual place: https://libvirt.org/sources/ I also tagged a release of the python bindings which you can find at https://libvirt.org/sources/python/ This is a balanced release with new features, improvements and bug fixes, also note some deprecation for KVM assignment support and for build with older versions of libxml2. New features: - qemu: Support Direct Mode for Hyper-V Synthetic timers The QEMU driver now supports Direct Mode for Hyper-V Synthetic timers for Hyper-V guests. - lib: Add virDomainGetGuestInfo() This API is intended to aggregate several guest agent information queries and is inspired by stats API virDomainListGetStats(). It is anticipated that this information will be provided by a guest agent running within the domain. It's exposed as virsh guestinfo. - Split libvirtd into separate daemons The big monolithic libvirtd daemon can now be replaced by smaller per-driver daemons. Distributions can chose if they want the former or the latter. The libvirtd is still kept around for backwards compatibility. Removed features: - Remove KVM assignment support The KVM style of PCI device assignment was removed from the kernel in version 4.12.0 after being deprecated since 4.2.0. Libvirt defaults to VFIO for a long time. Remove support for KVM device assignment from libvirt too. - libxml: min required libxml is now 2.9.1 Support for building with libxml versions older than 2.9.1 has been dropped. Improvements: - virsh: Support setting bandwidth in migrate subcommand In addition to postcopy bandwidth, the virsh migrate subcommand now supports specifying precopy bandwidth with the --bandwidth parameter. - libxl: Implement domain metadata getter/setter The libxl driver now supports virDomainGetMetadata() and virDomainSetMetadata() APIs. - test driver: Expand API coverage Additional APIs have been implemented in the test driver. - Report RNG device in domain capabilities XML Libvirt now reports if RNG devices are supported by the underlying hypervisor in the domain capabilities XML. - Stop linking virt-login-shell and NSS plugins with libvirt.so In order to allow libvirt to abort on out of memory, we need to stop linking libvirt.so to virt-login-shell or the NSS plugins where we don't want to abort. This change also resulted in smaller binaries and libraries. - qemu: Allow migration with disk cache on When QEMU supports flushing caches at the end of migration, we can safely allow migration even if disk/driver/@cache is neither none nor directsync. Bug fixes: - Various security label remembering fixes In the previous release libvirt introduced remembering of original owners and SELinux labels on files. However, the feature did not work properly with snapshots, on migrations or on network filesystems. This is now fixed. - Allow greater PCI domain numbers Libvirt used to require PCI domain number to be not greater than 0xFFFF. The code was changed to allow 32 bits long numbers. - Various D-Bus fixes When D-Bus is not available, libvirt was reporting random errors. These are now gone. - Prefer read-only opening of PCI config files When enumerating PCI bus, libvirt opens config files under sysfs mount and parses them to learn various aspects of the device (e.g. its capabilities). Only in a very limited number of cases it is actually writing into the file. However, it used to open the file also for writing even if it was only reading from it. - Fix AppArmor profile Since the 5.6.0 release, libvirt uses procfs to learn the list of opened file descriptors when spawning a command. However, our AppArmor profile was not allowing such access. - Don't block storage driver when starting or building a pool Starting or building a storage pool can take a long time to finish. During this time the storage driver was blocked and thus no other API involving the storage driver could run. This is now fixed. Thanks everybody who helped for this release, be it with patches, reviews, bug reports, docs, etc... Enjoy the release !
