This way it's possible to instruct QEMU to spawn enough + worker threads for an IOThread upfront, resulting in predictable time + needed to process an I/O requests. + * **Improvements** + * Define a TFTP server without a DHCP server in network configuration + + It's now possible to define a network with no DHCP server but with a TFTP + server. This may be useful when DHCP service is provided by other entity on + the network than libvirt spawned dnsmasq. + * **Bug fixes** + * qemu: Restore label to temp file in qemuDomainScreenshot() + + When virDomainScreenshot() is called, libvirt instructs QEMU to save the + screenshot into a temporary file. This file needs to be labelled correctly, + so that QEMU can access it. And since the file is temporary (it's deleted + after the screenshot was taken) the corresponding label restore was + missing. This proven to be problematic for profile based models, like + AppArmor, where the temporary files were added into the profile but never + removed, which resulted in longer profile recalculation times. + + * qemuBuildInterfaceConnect: Initialize @tapfd array + + Due to an uninitialized array, unsuccessful attempt to start a guest with + an ``<interface/>`` might have resulted in closing of a random FD and thus + sudden disconnect of a client or other random failures. + v8.4.0 (2022-06-01) =================== -- 2.35.1
