Changelog
v5
- dropped the "none" test in qemuxmlactivetest (see commit for
details)
- reordered patches to introduce some tests first, then add
qemu.conf changes
v4
- added qemu.conf option to dictate the default behavior for the
deprecated_features attribute (Boris)
- added qemuxmlactivetests (Boris)
- snuck in missing documentation for deprecated_features in
formatdomain.rst
v3
- added qemu caps check to avoid breaking s390 guests trying to
default deprecated_features='off' on QEMU versions that
do not support reporting these features
v2
- changed behavior from disabling features on the host model to
instead flagging the guest CPU to disable deprecated features
- removed disabling deprecated features on host model in
virQEMUCapsInitCPUModelS390
- added flagging deprecated_feats in qemuProcessUpdateGuestCPU
- added tests for deprecated_features='on'
- split virQEMUCapsUpdateCPUDeprecatedFeatures update and
qemuProcessUpdateGuestCPU changes
The intention of reporting deprecated features and modifying the guest
CPU model was to alleviate the user from the burden of preparing a guest
with the necessary amendments to assure migration to newer hardware.
While that goal was met by way of the "deprecated_features='on|off'"
attribute, it still adds an extra step that the user must be aware to
prepare a guest for migration and the errors that stem from an
unsuccessful migration (due to feature incompatibility) is not always
clear how to resolve.
These patches make s390 CPU *host models* migration ready from the get-go
by introducing a qemu.conf option for disabling deprecated features by
default. They may still be disabled for other model types via the
respective attribute, or reenabled if desired. The configured behavior
may be overridden by explicitly providing the attribute within the
guest XML.
