Would this be a good place to ask that virt-manager's preferences permit "host-passthrough" as a valid option for cpu-model? You can type 'host-passthrough' into the UI box and virt-manager will do the right thing. However host-passthrough has certain supportability issues with libvirt, so we don't expose it as a proper option in the UI Hello, what is the status on this? Also, is 'host-passthrough' safe with libvirt now? *** Bug 1468016 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to Pavel Valena from comment #3) > Hello, what is the status on this? > > Also, is 'host-passthrough' safe with libvirt now? (Replying 8 months later) I consider host-passthrough/"-cpu host" safe today, but it will prevent live-migration. If live-migration is not required, it is the best way to make of use all features supported by the host CPU + hypervisor. "host-model" is now supposed to be safe (at least the bugs mentioned in comment #0 are all fixed now). Thanks for information! If libvirt/qemu combo is new enough, we use host-model as the default now: commit 469fed08a04777d72cbb73e1dc948cffe31f7858 Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso> Date: Thu Oct 4 12:23:32 2018 -0400 guest: Default to cpu mode=host-model if libvirt is new enough |
