The s390(x) machines never supported ACPI. That didn't stop users
enabling ACPI in their config. As of libvirt-9.2 (98c4e3d073) with new
enough qemu we reject configs which require ACPI, but qemu can't satisfy
it.
This breaks migration of existing VMs with the old wrong configs to new
libvirt installations.
To address this introduce a post-parse fixup removing the ACPI flag
specifically for s390 machines which do enable it in the definition.
The advantage of doing it in post-parse, rather than simply relaxing the
ABI stability check to allow users providing an fixed XML when migrating
(allowing change of the ACPI flag for s390 in ABI stability check, as it
doesn't impact ABI), is that only the destination installation needs to
be patched in order to preserve migration.
The disadvantage is that users will not be notified that they are using
a broken configuration as it will be silently fixed. This is also the
reason why only specifically s390(x) machines are being fixed up despite
the problem also impacting other legacy architectures not supporting
ACPI as well.

I kinda get the idea, but considering that we're unlikely to go back and do anything about most of the architectures that we're currently leaving alone, does it really make sense to have all this code instead of just bool stripACPI = false; /* S390 never supported ACPI, but some users enabled it regardless in their * configs for some reason.

Regarding the disadvantage you mention in the commit message, how about we implement a middle-ground solution instead? If we only actually strip the feature when !(parseFlags & VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE) then we still silently fix migration, but we also prevent new s390x domains with ACPI (supposedly) enabled from being defined, and generally limit the scope of the workaround as much as possible. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

Maybe there's some motivation that I'm not seeing. Well, I tend to prefer the switch statement because it forces you to consider every code path when adding another member into the enum. In this case though, you're right that we won't ever want to add anything to the case when stripping is allowed. On the other hand it clearly differentiates the legacy arches where theoretically the same bug could be considered to be fixed and the modern arches where that stuff must never be done. Also note that yes this is more lines, but I'd consider the "verbosity" to be at the same level, because you then don't have to consider what other options are around when reading the code. And yes, all of that could be replaced by a comment. > > > + /* To be sure, we only strip ACPI if given machine type doesn't support it > > + * or if the support state is unknown (which effectively means that it's > > + * unsupported, as we don't fixup x86(_64) and AARCH64) */ > > + if (stripACPI && > > + virQEMUCapsMachineSupportsACPI(qemuCaps, def->virtType, def->os.machine) != VIR_TRISTATE_BOOL_YES) > > + def->features[VIR_DOMAIN_FEATURE_ACPI] = VIR_TRISTATE_SWITCH_ABSENT; > > Clever safety measure. > > > Regarding the disadvantage you mention in the commit message, how > about we implement a middle-ground solution instead?

I've considered this, but in case when you migrate the persistent XML along with the migration or use offline migration, you won't be able to start the VM. Yes it will force you to fix the config but it feels wrong to allow migration but then have a definition which no longer works. If the s390 folks consider this important for their usage and want to forgo the fact that we'll be stripping <acpi/> instead of them fixing the configs in the first place, we should do that always to prevent having weird intermediate states. If we want to go the route of not allowing 'defining' a new config with acpi enabled, we'll need another VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ flag asserted on all migration related XML parsing where the modification will be performed and on none of the normal code paths, but none of the existing flags allow that granularity.

So offline migration sets ABI_UPDATE? I guess that makes sense to some extent, as live migration obviously has the strictest possible requirements, but still it feels weird that the same domain migrated between the same two hosts could end up with slightly different ABI depending on whether or not it's migrated while it's running. I can tell you for certain that the presence of ABI_UPDATE is (mis)interpreted as a witness for "this is a newly-defined domain" in several places. I've introduced a few myself. Having a separate flag that actually carries that meaning would probably be a very good idea. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

Well, I thought it did but it doesn't seem to be the case: src/qemu/qemu_driver.c=static virDomainPtr qemuDomainCreateXML(virConnectPtr conn, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE; src/qemu/qemu_driver.c=static char *qemuConnectDomainXMLToNative(virConnectPtr conn, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE))) src/qemu/qemu_driver.c=qemuDomainDefineXMLFlags(virConnectPtr conn, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE; src/qemu/qemu_driver.c=qemuDomainAttachDeviceLiveAndConfig(virDomainObj *vm, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE; Which are the only relevant code paths asserting it. > > I can tell you for certain that the presence of ABI_UPDATE is > (mis)interpreted as a witness for "this is a newly-defined domain" in > several places.

Well, I thought this flag would be asserted in more code paths, as of the 4 above, 1 is irrelevant and 3 are safe I guess we can do this thing as well.
