QCOW2 images now support 'extended_l2' which splits the default clusters
into 32 subcluster allocation units. This allows the allocation units to
be smaller without increasing the size of L2 table too much and thus also
the cache requirements for holding the full L2 table in memory.
Unfortunately it's incompatible with qemu versions older than 5.2 thus
can't be used as default.

Let's imagine a guest that's configured with strict numatune:
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0'/>
</numatune>
For guests with NUMA:
Depending on machine type used (see commit v6.4.0-rc1~75) we
generate either:
1) -object '{"qom-type":"memory-backend-ram","id":"ram-node0",\
"size":20971520,"host-nodes":[0],"policy":"preferred"}' \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
or
2) -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=20480
Later, when QEMU boots up and cpuset CGroup controller is
available we further restrict QEMU there too. But there's a
behaviour difference hidden: while in case 1) QEMU is restricted
from beginning, in case 2) it is not and thus it may happen that
it will allocate memory from different NUMA node and even though
CGroup will try to migrate it, it may fail to do so (e.g. because
memory is locked). Therefore, one can argue that case 2) is
broken. NB, case 2) is exactly what mode 'restrictive' is for.
However, in case 1) we are unable to update QEMU with new
host-nodes, simply because it's lacking a command to do so.
For guests without NUMA:
It's very close to case 2) from above. We have commit
v7.10.0-rc1~163 that prevents us from outputting host-nodes when
generating memory-backend-* for system memory, but that simply
allows QEMU to allocate memory anywhere and then relies on
CGroups to move it to desired location.
Due to all of this, there is no reliable way to change nodeset
for mode 'strict'. Let's forbid it.

This change introduces a new libvirt sub-element <pci> under
<features> that can be used to configure all pci related features.
Currently the only sub-sub element supported by this sub-element is
'acpi-bridge-hotplug' as shown below:
<features>
<pci>
<acpi-bridge-hotplug state='on|off'/>
</pci>
</features>
The above option is only available for the QEMU driver, for x86 guests
only. It is a global option, affecting all PCI bridge controllers on
the guest.
The 'acpi-bridge-hotplug' option enables or disables ACPI hotplug
support for cold-plugged pci bridges. Examples of bridges include the
PCI-PCI bridge (pci-bridge controller) for pc (i440fx) machinetypes,
or PCIe-PCI bridges and pcie-root-port controllers for q35
machinetypes.
For pc machinetypes in x86, this option has been available in QEMU
since version 2.1. Please see the following changes in qemu repo:
9e047b982452c6 ("piix4: add acpi pci hotplug support")
133a2da488062e ("pc: acpi: generate AML only for PCI0 devices if PCI
bridge hotplug is disabled")
For q35 machinetypes, this was introduced in QEMU 6.1 with the
following changes in qemu repo:
(a) c0e427d6eb5fef ("hw/acpi/ich9: Enable ACPI PCI hot-plug")
(b) 17858a16950860 ("hw/acpi/ich9: Set ACPI PCI hot-plug as default on
Q35")
The reasons for enabling ACPI based hotplug for PCIe (q35) based
machines (as opposed to native hotplug) are outlined in (b). There are
use cases where users would still want to use native
hotplug. Therefore, this config option enables users to choose either
ACPI based hotplug or native hotplug for bridges (for example for pcie
root port controller in q35 machines).
Qemu capability validation checks have also been added along with
related unit tests to exercise the new conf option.

'<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root controller.

The virtio-mem is paravirtualized mechanism of adding/removing
memory to/from a VM. A virtio-mem-pci device is split into blocks
of equal size which are then exposed (all or only a requested
portion of them) to the guest kernel to use as regular memory.
Therefore, the device has two important attributes:
1) block-size, which defines the size of a block
2) requested-size, which defines how much memory (in bytes)
is the device requested to expose to the guest.
The 'block-size' is configured on command line and immutable
throughout device's lifetime. The 'requested-size' can be set on
the command line too, but also is adjustable via monitor. In
fact, that is how management software places its requests to
change the memory allocation. If it wants to give more memory to
the guest it changes 'requested-size' to a bigger value, and if it
wants to shrink guest memory it changes the 'requested-size' to a
smaller value. Note, value of zero means that guest should
release all memory offered by the device. Of course, guest has to
cooperate. Therefore, there is a third attribute 'size' which is
read only and reflects how much memory the guest still has. This
can be different to 'requested-size', obviously. Because of name
clash, I've named it 'current' and it is dealt with in future
commits (it is a runtime information anyway).
In the backend, memory for virtio-mem is backed by usual objects:
memory-backend-{ram,file,memfd} and their size puts the cap on
the amount of memory that a virtio-mem device can offer to a
guest. But we are already able to express this info using <size/>
under <target/>.
Therefore, we need only two more elements to cover 'block-size'
and 'requested-size' attributes. This is the XML I've came up
with:
<memory model='virtio-mem'>
<source>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>2048</pagesize>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>2097152</size>
<node>0</node>
<block unit='KiB'>2048</block>
<requested unit='KiB'>1048576</requested>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
I hope by now it is obvious that:
1) 'requested-size' must be an integer multiple of
'block-size', and
2) virtio-mem-pci device goes onto PCI bus and thus needs PCI
address.
Then there is a limitation that the minimal 'block-size' is
transparent huge page size (I'll leave this without explanation).

However, when generating HTML documentation these tokens are

Due to the way we 'parse' docs a token might actually be slightly

The virtiofs project started off using "virtio-fs" but later switched to
the "virtiofs" spelling because it matches the spelling of the mount -t
virtiofs command-line. Update the kbase article with the new spelling so
it matches the virtiofs website.

A number of legacy issues make the virtiofs kbase article hard to
understand. Most users don't need to configure NUMA or a memory backend
other than memfd. Move that information to the bottom of the article so
the recommended syntax is most prominent.

We simply terminate qemu instead of issuing a reset as the semantics of
the setting dictate.
Fix it by handling it identically to 'fake reboot'.
We need to forbid the combination of 'onReboot' -> 'destroy' and
'onPoweroff' -> reboot though as the handling would be hairy and it
honetly makes no sense.

The qemu driver didn't ever implement any meaningful handling for the
'preserve' action.
Forbid the flag in the qemu def validator and update the documentation
to be factual.

The qemu driver didn't ever implement any meaningful handling for the
'rename-restart' action.
At this point the following handling would take place:
'on_reboot' set to 'rename-restart' is ignored on guest-initiated
reboots, the guest simply reboots.
For on_poweroff set to 'rename-restart' the following happens:
guest initiated shutdown -> 'destroy'
libvirt initiated shutdown -> 'reboot'
In addition when 'on_reboot' is 'destroy' in addition to 'on_poweroff'
being 'rename-restart' the guest is able to execute instructions after
issuing a reset before libvirt terminates it. This will be addressed
separately later.
Forbid the flag in the qemu def validator and update the documentation
to be factual.

There is no need to error out for empty <partition></partition> element
as we can just simply ignore it. This allows to simplify the function
and prepare it for new sub-elements of <resource>.
It makes the <partition> element optional so we need to reflect the
change in schema as well.

Commit 12967c3e13 incorrectly made the target optional.
The validation was re-introduced by commit e8863b91f (which
put it into FSDefValidate instead of the parser), but
it did not amend the schema to make it mandatory again.
