Hi, I am collecting some material for my KVM Forum talk, and I am interested in hearing from libvirt developers about instances where machine-type-specific information is needed by libvirt, and the info is not provided by QEMU. I found some instances where machine-type capabilities are hardcoded in libvirt itself (see below[1]), but I would like to know if you have other examples. They may be about things that are already done by libvirt today, or about things that you would like to do in the future. [1] Examples where machine-type names are hardcoded in libvirt: src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "ppce500")) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "prep")) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "bamboo")) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: if (STREQ(def->os.machine, "mpc8544ds")) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: if (STREQ(machines[i]->name, "none")) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "isapc"); src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: (STRNEQ(machine, "pseries") && !STRPREFIX(machine, "pseries-"))) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: (STRNEQ(machine, "pseries") && !STRPREFIX(machine, "pseries-"))) src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: if (STRNEQ(domCaps->machine, "virt") && src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: !STRPREFIX(domCaps->machine, "virt-")) src/qemu/qemu_command.c: if (STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "s390-virtio") && src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: if (STREQ(def->os.machine, "isapc")) { src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: if (STREQ(def->os.machine, "versatilepb")) src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: return (STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "pc-q35") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "q35")); src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: return (STREQ(def->os.machine, "pc") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "pc-0.") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "pc-1.") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "pc-i440") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "rhel")); src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: char *p = STRSKIP(def->os.machine, "pc-q35-"); src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: return STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "s390-ccw"); src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: if (STRNEQ(def->os.machine, "virt") && src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: !STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "virt-")) src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: if (STRNEQ(def->os.machine, "pseries") && src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: !STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "pseries-")) src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "malta") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "sun4u") || src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: STREQ(def->os.machine, "g3beige"); src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c: if (!(STRPREFIX(def->os.machine, "vexpress-") || src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c: if (STREQ(def->os.machine, "versatilepb")) -- Eduardo -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
