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 [1]: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-11/msg00005.html [2]: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-03/msg01593.html [3]: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3961 [4]: https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+git/libvirt/+merge/380469 Christian Ehrhardt (1): modules: load modules from versioned /var/run dir configure | 15 +++++++++++++++ util/module.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+) -- 2.25.1
