Hi all,
the actual capabilities of QEMU are depending on the host. This includes dependencies like which kernel modules are loaded or which kernel parameters are used (e.g. kvm.nested). Therefore, after a restart we cannot be sure that the QEMU capabilities remain the same.
How can we solve this problem?
Hi, thanks for bringing up this issue, we kind of already know about it but it's good idea to discuss it publicly.
I have come up with two ways: - reprobe the capabilities with every host reboot
This is the solution that was agreed on but nobody was motivated enough to write the code :).
- check for every possible change in virQEMUCapsIsValid... (this is already done for KVM). In my opinion this is not the way to go.
