[PATCH v2 0/1] avoid failing to load modules after upgrades

Posted by Christian Ehrhardt 5 years, 8 months ago

Hi,
this is a continuation of a discussion at KVM Forum eventually
becoming [1] and the v1 of the patch [2].

Overall it is about qemu providing some way for distribution
packaging to allow loading shared objects for a qemu binary
that was upgraded.

I also refreshed the qemu test build for Ubuntu [3] and have started a
libvirt change [4] to allow to read from there through apparmor protection.
Upstreaming of that will follow once we agree and merge the qemu change.

Updates since v1:
- make the feature configurable and default off
