By default, pfifo_fast queueing discipline (qdisc) is set on
newly created interfaces (including TAPs). This qdisc has three
queues and packets that want to be sent through given NIC are
placed into one of the queues based on TOS field. Queues are then
emptied based on their priority allowing interactive sessions
stay interactive whilst something else is downloading a large
file.
Obviously, this means that kernel has to be involved and some
locking has to happen (when placing packets into queues). If
virtualization is taken into account then the above algorithm
happens twice - once in the guest and the second time in the
host.
This is arguably not optimal as it burns host CPU cycles
needlessly. Guest already made it choice and sent packets in the
order it wants.
To resolve this, Linux kernel offers 'noqueue' qdisc which can be
applied on virtual interfaces and in fact for 'lo' it is by
default:
lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue
Set it for other TAP devices we create for domains too. With this
change I was able to squeeze 1Mbps more from a macvtap attached
to a guest and to my 1Gbps LAN (as measured by iperf3).

Ideally, it would be written using netlink but my attempts to

Currently setting max_len=0 causes virtlogd to spin in a busy loop. It
is natural to allow this to disable log rollover which can be useful for
developers debugging things.
Note disabling rollover exposes the host to denial of service from a
malicious guest, so must be used with care.

If storage migration is requested, and the destination storage does
not exist on the remote host, qemu's migration support will call
into the libvirt storage driver to precreate the destination storage.
The storage driver virConnectPtr is opened too early though, adding
an unnecessary dependency on the storage driver for several cases
that don't require it. This currently requires kubevirt to install
the storage driver even though they aren't actually using it.
Push the virGetConnectStorage calls to right before the cases they are
actually needed.

Recently virtio-9p support was added to bhyve.
On the host side it looks this way:
bhyve .... -s 25:0,virtio-9p,sharename=/path/to/shared/dir
It could also have ",ro" suffix to make share read-only.
In the Linux guest, this share is mounted with:
mount -t 9p sharename /mnt/sharename
In the guest user will see the same permissions and ownership
information for this directory as on the host. No uid/gid remapping is
supported, so those could resolve to wrong user or group names.
The same applies to the other side: chowning/chmodding in the guest will
set specified ownership and permissions on the host.
In libvirt domain XML it's modeled using the 'filesystem' element:
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/path/to/shared/dir'/>
<target dir='sharename'/>
</filesystem>
Optional 'readonly' sub-element enables read-only mode.

Additionally, generic architecture lists that appear in the

is reduced.
Note that a few checks (numactl, zfs, ceph) have been changed
from %ifarch to %ifnarch for consistency: while doing so, the
corresponding list of architectures has also been replaced with
the complement of the original one to ensure the overall behavior
