[Libvir] Patch: include <locale.h> for setlocale
by Richard W.M. Jones 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Very trivial, but useful for me because I'm trying to debug the remote stuff without -O, and without -O it turns out that libvirt doesn't compile.

[Libvir] VCPU mapping into the XML
by ASANO Yuzuru 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello, I want to add the info of VCPU mapping into the XML, because we cannot manage VCPU mapping automatically when a domain starts or reboots. But in the following patch, the function written in "TODO" which I wanted has not been accepted. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2006-August/msg00015.html If I provided the patch managing VCPU mapping in the XML, do you accept it? Regards, Yuzuru Asano.

[Libvir] [PATCH] parsing virsh options is wrong
by Saori Fukuta 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hi, When I specified -t (or -q) option with virsh command, the result is something wrong. It is likely to be caused by the way to parse the virsh options. (example) I would like to know the node information with timing information. So, I try some cases. 1) virsh with "-t nodeinfo" ran virsh interactive terminal. Hmm, I didn't expect that... # virsh -t nodeinfo Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit virsh # 2) virsh with "-t aa nodeinfo" I got the node information with timing information. But what does "aa" option mean?? (Of course no meaning.) # virsh -t aa nodeinfo CPU model: i686 CPU(s): 2 CPU frequency: 1828 MHz CPU socket(s): 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 Thread(s) per core: 1 NUMA cell(s): 1 Memory size: 1037312 kB (Time: 2.821 ms) 3) virsh with "-t tt nodeinfo" ran virsh interactive terminal. What's the difference with "aa"? # virsh -t tt nodeinfo Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit virsh # I think the cause is missing a conditional before getopt_long at vshParseArgv and add to check whether "o->has_arg" is 1 or not. After the fix, I can use virsh options normally. (example) 1) virsh with "-t nodeinfo" # ./virsh -t nodeinfo CPU model: i686 CPU(s): 2 CPU frequency: 1828 MHz CPU socket(s): 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 Thread(s) per core: 1 NUMA cell(s): 1 Memory size: 1037312 kB (Time: 2.626 ms) 2) virsh with "-t aa nodeinfo" # ./virsh -t aa nodeinfo error: unknown command: 'aa' 3) virsh with "-t tt nodeinfo" # ./virsh -t tt nodeinfo error: unknown command: 'tt' Signed-off-by: Saori Fukuta <fukuta.saori(a)jp.fujitsu.com> Thanks, Saori Fukuta.

[Libvir] Linker dependancoes [Re: [kvm-devel] QEMU / KVM support in libvirt & virt-manager]
by Daniel P. Berrange 27 Feb '07

See this thread on kvm-devel for a question about link time dependancies in libvirt.

[Libvir] Remote patch, 2007-02-26
by Richard W.M. Jones 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I was really hoping to have a patch which could be applied out today. This isn't quite that patch, so my apologies. Nevertheless, this demonstrates what can be done, and works on a selection of the important libvirt API calls. http://www.annexia.org/tmp/libvirt-tls-20070226.patch List of things that need to be done: * Audit incoming IP addresses / virConnectOpen names to syslog. * GnuTLS handshake DoS fix (see danpb's email). * GnuTLS client crashing bug (I have a fix, just needs to be applied). * Complete the wrappers for the remaining API calls. * Testing(!) Apart from that list above, I'm hoping that this patch addresses everything that people have raised on list and privately about previous patches. If I've missed anything, let me know.

Re: [Libvir] [patch 3/3] Use libuuid to generate UUIDs

On the one hand I think its good to re-use existing libraries where they fullfill our needs, but then we need to keep a built-in impl of UUID generator for non-Linux systems which typically won't have a e2fsprogs available. So rather than maintaining two separate impls of the UUID code, which splits the testing coverage, I'd be inclined to just always use the builtin version. Guarenteeing consistent algorithm / semantics for UUID generation across all platforms.
