[v2] treat host models as case-insensitive strings

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] treat host models as case-insensitive strings

Posted by Scott Garfinkle 6 years, 3 months ago

Qemu now allows case-insensitive specification of CPU models. This fixes the
resulting problems on (at least) POWER arch machines.

Patch V2: Change only the internal interface. This solves the actual problem at
hand of reporting unsupported models now that qemu allows case-insensitive
strings (e.g. "Power8" instead of "POWER8").

Would have been great to reference which qemu commit number, but there's
probably way too many.  Perhaps best to note it's as of QEMU 2.11.  My
quick search turns up "03c9141d75" and "4a12c699d", is that about right?
Although there's quite a few other ones too

This hunk would typically go under the "---" below to give a hint to the
reviewer about what changed.

Hopefully no one someday decides POWER8 is more "powerful" than Power8
;-) (couldn't resist).

This seems like a reasonable way to approach the problem.  I can fix up
the comment message a bit and will push later... Just want to make sure
that no one else comes up with a latent concern...  The only thing that
springs to my mind is migration possibly.

Thanks, next time I'll try to be more specific. Yes Qemu 2.11. The full
patch series is at

It seems to me that the in the worst we might be more permissive with
the patch than without; I am hopeful for the sake of sanity that nobody
actually has two model names disambiguated only by case!
