RFC for NBD protocol extension: extended headers
by Eric Blake
In response to this mail, I will be cross-posting a series of patches
to multiple projects as a proof-of-concept implementation and request
for comments on a new NBD protocol extension, called
NBD_OPT_EXTENDED_HEADERS. With this in place, it will be possible for
clients to request 64-bit zero, trim, cache, and block status
operations when supported by the server.
Not yet complete: an implementation of this in nbdkit. I also plan to
tweak libnbd's 'nbdinfo --map' and 'nbdcopy' to take advantage of the
larger block status results. Also, with 64-bit commands, we may want
to also make it easier to let servers advertise an actual maximum size
they are willing to accept for the commands in question (for example,
a server may be happy with a full 64-bit block status, but still want
to limit non-fast zero and cache to a smaller limit to avoid denial of
service).

[PATCH] always 'max' for the appliance CPU model on all targes except ppc
by Daniel P. Berrangé
The current logic for selecting CPU model to use with the appliance
selects 'max' for all architectures except for ppc64le and aarch64.
On aarch64, it selects 'host' if KVM is available which is identical
to 'max'. For TCG it selects 'cortex-a57'. The 'max' model is a
superset of 'cortex-a57', so it is reasonable to use 'max' for TCG
too.
On ppc64, it selects no CPU model due to a historical bug where
using 'host' would break ability to fallback to TCG. Unfortunately
we can't use 'max' on PPC as this is actually an old G4 vintage
32-bit model, rather than a synonym for 'host' / all-TCG-features
as on other targets.
We can at least simplify the code to use 'max' in all scenarios
for appliance CPU model, and simply skip a CPU model for PPC.

LUKS decryption with Clevis+Tang | CVE-2022-2211
by Laszlo Ersek
Hi,
* in response to this cover letter, I'm going to post four series (one
for each of libguestfs-common, libguestfs, guestfs-tools, virt-v2v).
These four series implement LUKS decryption with Clevis+Tang:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809453
* The first patch in the libguestfs-common series fixes a bug that I'd
found while working on the feature, and ended up receiving a CVE number
(CVE-2022-2211):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2100862
This patch is an integral part of the larger Clevis+Tang feature.
However, it can be backported easily to stable branches that only want
the bugfix.
* Correspondingly, the first patch in the libguestfs series documents
the new CVE (and updates the common submodule just enough to get the CVE
fix). This patch should also be easy to backport to stable branches.
A later patch in the libguestfs series updates the "common" submodule
checkout to the end of the libguestfs-common series.
* In each of the guestfs-tools and virt-v2v series, the full "common"
submodule series is consumed right in the first patch, covering both the
CVE fix and the new stuff needed for the Clevis feature.
Thanks,
Laszlo
