Description Lennart Poettering 2013-05-15 11:26:53 UTC
The KVM kernel modules can do CPU-feature based kernel module auto-loading anyway these days, so there's no need for any special userspace magic in userspace anymore:

$ modinfo kvm-intel
...
alias:          x86cpu:vendor:*:family:*:model:*:feature:*0085*
...

$ modinfo kvm-amd
...
alias:          x86cpu:vendor:*:family:*:model:*:feature:*00C2*
...

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2013-05-15 22:05:44 UTC
qemu-1.4.1-2.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2013-05-16 09:33:45 UTC
What about vhost-net?  Is there a way to load it without relying on fedora-load-modules.service?

Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2013-05-16 09:45:55 UTC
Ah, learnt about modules-load.d.

Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2013-05-16 11:01:17 UTC
qemu-1.4.1-3.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-1.4.1-3.fc19

Comment 5 Lennart Poettering 2013-05-16 11:42:17 UTC
$ modinfo vhost-net
...
alias:          devname:vhost-net
alias:          char-major-10-238
...

That suggests vhost-net is also auto-loaded on demand.

Also see:

   cat /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.devname

Which shows all device nodes that are created by udev, and which the kernel then will auto-load modules for. As you see both uinput and vhost_net are listed there. Hence, please do not do any manual module loading anymore, neither via /etc/sysconfig/modules/* nor via /usr/lib/modules-load.d/. This all is unnecessary.

Comment 6 Paolo Bonzini 2013-05-16 12:19:22 UTC
Yup, thanks Lennart.

I removed vhost-net from the script.

Only PPC and s390 remain, and I've asked the upstream KVM maintainers to add a devname:kvm alias.  (On x86, the kvm module that implements devname:kvm is better picked up as a dependency of kvm-{amd,intel}).
