[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix python error reporting for some storage operations
by Cole Robinson 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In the python bindings, all vir* classes expect to be passed a virConnect object when instantiated. Before the storage stuff, these classes were only instantiated in virConnect methods, so the generator is hardcoded to pass 'self' as the connection instance to these classes. Problem is there are some methods that return pool or vol instances which aren't called from virConnect: you can lookup a storage volume's associated pool, and can lookup volumes from a pool. In these cases passing 'self' doesn't give the vir* instance a connection, so when it comes time to raise an exception crap hits the fan. Rather than rework the generator to accomodate this edge case, I just fixed the init functions for virStorage* to pull the associated connection out of the passed value if it's not a virConnect instance. Thanks, Cole diff --git a/python/generator.py b/python/generator.py index 01a17da..c706b19 100755 --- a/python/generator.py +++ b/python/generator.py @@ -962,8 +962,12 @@ def buildWrappers(): list = reference_keepers[classname] for ref in list: classes.write(" self.%s = None\n" % ref[1]) - if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork", "virStoragePool", "virStorageVol" ]: + if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork" ]: classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n") + elif classname in [ "virStorageVol", "virStoragePool" ]: + classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n" + \ + " if not isinstance(conn, virConnect):\n" + \ + " self._conn = conn._conn\n") classes.write(" if _obj != None:self._o = _obj;return\n") classes.write(" self._o = None\n\n"); destruct=None

[libvirt] PATCH: 0/25: Full thread support for libvirt public API
by Daniel P. Berrange 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

This patch series is (mostly) aimed at providing full support for threads in the libvirt API. Specifically we remove the restriction that a single virConnectPtr is tied to a thread. Multiple threads can safely use the same object (provided one doesn't free it behind another's back :-P ) This is tested to compile on Linux + Win32 (MinGW), hopefully doesn't break Solaris, but I'll be testing that soon too. I've tortured the patches in various nasty ways are they're now stable enough to let loose and probably merge for wider testing. It'll probably be easier to just fix future problems in tree, rather than maintain this patchset longer. The full patchset is also available here http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/libvirt-threads-2009-01-13/ Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|

[libvirt] adding bandwidth control support

I will change the current command line syntax to: virsh attach-interface <domain> <type> <source> [--target <target>] [--mac <mac>] [--script <script>] [--rate <rate-string>] So that we are able to specify bandwidth as "--rate 100M" in command line, like: #virsh attach-interface domu bridge bge0 --rate 100M In this case, bandwidth is specified as an integer with one of the scale suffixes K, M, or G for Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps. For 2. I will add one more option "--rate=rate-string" to current option set of virt-install command. Users can repeatedly add more than one 'rate' options to set bandwidth for multiple nic devices respectively, if needed. For example, with below command line, we start installing a domain with two nic devices whose bandwidth are set to 100Mb/s and 200Mb/s respectively: #virt-install -n snv105 -r 2048 -p --file=/root/snv105 --location=/solarisdvd.iso -b bge0 --rate=100M -b bge1 --rate=200M In this case, bandwidth is specified as an integer with one of the scale suffixes K, M, or G for Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps. For 3. All user specified bandwidth will be represented as part of interface element currently defined in XML configuration file. The new format looks like: <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='e1000g1'/> <flowcontrol> <rate unit='megabit' period='second' value='100'/> </flowcontrol> </interface> So, I create a new element, "flowcontrol", inside "interface" element. Inside "flowcontrol", I provide bandwidth by setting "rate" element with three attributes, "unit", "period" and "value" to express the bandwidth limit. The supported unit can be 'gigabit', 'megabit' and 'kilobit'. The supported period can be 'second', 'millisecond' and 'microsecond'. And value is an integer to express the amount of data in unit allowed to be transfered in period of time. More elements can be added inside "flowcontrol" element, if we want to add more flow control policies in the future.

[libvirt] Adding VirtualBox support to libvirt
by Pritesh Kothari 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, I am in the process of adding support for virtualbox in libvirt. Basically Virtualbox exports its API through XPCOM. Now to simplify things I was thinking of using C++ and already existing xpcom component in virtualbox but since libvirt exports C API i am not sure if i should use C++ or stick to plain C. I would like to request the libvirt community for its comment on this. Regards, Pritesh

[libvirt] [PATCH ] (type ioem) adding qemu nic configuration option in to libvirt (XEN)
by Gihan Munasinghe 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Guys I have added a new attribute with with in <interface > tag called "qemu" which can be either true or false.. Indicating if the user wants XEN to create qeum net device or not.. This will fix the problem with PV net drivers with XEN.. Check the following examples e.g 1) Interface tag with qemu attribute set to false <interface type='bridge' qemu='false'> <mac address='00:16:3e:00:a5:01'/> <source bridge='eth0'/> <target dev='vif1.0'/> </interface> qemu-dm output --------------------- /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm -d 60 -domain-name benchmark1 -k en-gb -vnc 0.0.0.0:1 -vcpus 2 -boot c -serial pty -acpi -usb -net none -M xenfv XEND has configured the hvm guest not to have network card via qemu e.g 2) Interface tag with qemu attribute set to true with qemu supported nic model <interface type='bridge' qemu='true'> <mac address='00:16:3e:00:a5:01'/> <source bridge='eth0'/> <target dev='vif1.0'/> <model type='e1000'/> </interface> qemu-dm output --------------------- /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm -d 61 -domain-name benchmark1 -k en-gb -vnc 0.0.0.0:1 -vcpus 2 -boot c -serial pty -acpi -usb -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:a5:01,model=e1000 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap61.0,bridge=eth0 -M xenfv Now XEND have configured the hvm guest to have emulated nic of the model "e1000" Therefore now, via libvirt configuration I have the ability ask xen to either to configure qemu network card or not (when I have pv divers installed with in my VM ) I have attached the patch files, Let me know what you guys think.

[libvirt] adding tests....
by Jim Meyering 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

In adding a couple of tests, I noticed that libvirtd --config=no-such didn't diagnose my mistake. I fixed that with the first patch below: diagnose "libvirtd --config=no-such-file" * qemud/qemud.c (remoteReadConfigFile): Don't return 0 (success) when the config file is unreadable or nonexistent Return -1, not 0, upon virConfReadFile failure. (main): If remote_config_file is not specified via --config(-f), use the default config file only if it exists. Otherwise, use /dev/null. However, that made it so libvirtd gave two diagnostics: Failed to open file 'no-such': No such file or directory libvir: Config error : failed to open no-such for reading The latter part of that patch fixes it like this: * src/conf.c (virConfReadFile): Don't diagnose virFileReadAll failure, since it already does that. Finally, I went to add the two tests, one to ensure libvirtd --config=no-such-file now fails, as I expected another to start libvirtd and then run a small pool-related test via a separate virsh invocation. But that made me see a bug in tests/Makefile.am: A missing backslash made it so the virsh-all test wasn't being run. Easy to fix. But then, I saw when virsh-all runs it generated too much output, so I did this: tests: quiet virsh-all * tests/virsh-all: For now, ignore diagnostics and exit status, when running all virsh commands. Finally, here are the two tests: add tests * tests/libvirtd-pool: New file. * tests/libvirtd-fail: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (test_scripts): Add omitted backslash, so that the virsh-all test is run. Add libvirtd-fail and libvirtd-pool. >From aaea6d51f5200e58086d9cabf8b6e7fac7c460f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com> Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 20:17:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] diagnose "libvirtd --config=no-such-file" * qemud/qemud.c (remoteReadConfigFile): Don't return 0 (success) when the config file is unreadable or nonexistent Return -1, not 0, upon virConfReadFile failure.

[libvirt] [PATCH/RFC]: don't ignore errors to save the domain status file
by Guido Günther 08 Feb '09

08 Feb '09

Hi, we currently don't report errors to save qemu's domain status file back to the caller. That was o.k. as long as the code was there for testing but now that the XML is being picked up on daemon restart we must handle these. The attached patch does that, although I'm not confident that it's enough. While we return error on device attach/unattach the device actually got attached/unattached already. Same is true for suspend/resume. A better solution would be to write out the new domain status into a temp file and simply call rename(2) on it when the attach/unattach succeeds and discard it if it fails. This would minimize the possible error conditions like disk full, missing permissions to write into that directory etc. Does this sound reasonable? O.k. to apply the attached version for now? Cheers, -- Guido

[libvirt] RFC: configuring host interfaces with libvirt
by David Lutterkort 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

For certain applications, we want libvirt to be able to configure host network interfaces in a variety of ways; currently, we are most interested in teaching libvirt how to set up ordinary ethernet interfaces, bridges, bonding and vlan's. Below is a high-level proposal of how that could be done. Please comment copiously ;) 1. XML Format ============= The first question is how the user would describe the host interfaces they want. Below are some sketches of what an XML representation of the various kinds of interfaces would look like. This covers the minimal amount of settings for these to be useful, though I am sure we'll need to add more over time. <interface device="eth0" onboot="yes"> <hwaddr>00:19:d2:9f:88:96</hwaddr> <dhcp peerdns="yes"/> </interface> <interface device="eth1" onboot="yes"> <hwaddr>00:19:d2:9f:88:97</hwaddr> <static ipaddr="192.168.0.5" gateway="192.168.0.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"/> </interface> <interface device="eth2" onboot="yes"> <hwaddr>00:19:d2:9f:88:98</hwaddr> </interface> <bond name="bond00" onboot="yes" mode="active-backup"> <slave device="eth0" primary="yes"/> <slave device="eth1"/> </bond> <bridge name="br0" stp="off" onboot="yes"> <member device="eth2"/> <dhcp peerdns="yes"/> </bridge> <vlan device="eth0" tag="42" reorder_hdr="yes"/> All of these should also allow a <uuid> element for specifying a uuid; I omitted that for brevity. 2. API Changes ============== There are two options for dealing with network interfaces: (1) use the existing virNetwork* calls or (2) add completely new API calls. Repurposing existing virNetwork* calls -------------------------------------- The existing calls map well to the operations we need for managing interfaces, with a few exceptions: - virNetworkGetAutostart/SetAutostart: depending on how we implement all this (see below), 'autostart' might actually mean 'on boot', not 'when libvirtd starts' - virNetworkGetBridgeName doesn't make sense for interfaces, and should return NULL for interfaces We'll probably also end up adding some functions to query details about an interface, in particular, a call to see what kind of network/interface a virNetworkPtr represents Add completely new virInterface* calls -------------------------------------- This would add roughly the same API calls as the virNetwork* calls, i.e. we'd have something like typedef struct virInterface *virInterfacePtr; int virInterfaceCreate(virInterfacePtr); virInterfacePtr virInterfaceCreateXML(..); ... plus some calls to extract information from a virInterfacePtr The second option seems cleaner to me and easier to implement, and avoids any subtle changes in the behavior of existing API, though I don't like that we'll be adding another 20 or so calls to libvirt's public API, with attendant churn both in the drivers and in virsh. 3. Implementation ================= Configuring network interfaces is highly OS and OS-variant/distro dependant. There are at least two different ways how libvirt can go about modifying the host to create interfaces: 1. Modify the system's network setup scripts (ifcfg-XXX on RH) 2. Directly use the system's network utilities like ifconfig 3. Rely on NetworkManager (not an option right now, as NM doesn't know about bridges and the like) Option (1) saves us from replicating every bit of network setup functionality that those scripts already have - besides configuring the interface, we also might have to setup routes, run dhclient etc. Option (2) would require far fewer backend implementations than (1) - we should be able to get away with one implementation for Linux, rather than one for Fedora/RHEL, one for Debian, one for SuSe, three for gentoo etc. If we want 'autostart' for an interface to mean 'bring up the interface as soon as the system boots', we are pretty much forced to go with option (1). All in all, option (1) seems more attractive, since it should save us from dealing with a lot of low-level details of network setup, and the distro scripts should be much better integrated with the rest of the system than what we come up with for libvirt. 4. Misc issues ============== * Should interfaces have labels/roles ('data-interface') to help admins make sense of the current config ? * Do we expect interfaces to be in a specific state before we create them or do we just tear them down and reconfigure them no matter what ? * Are there crucial config options that are not covered by the sketches above (e.g., setting an explicit MTU) ? Are there things in the XML sketches above that will be impossible to implement on some OS ? * Should this even be done as part of libvirt ? It seems like a very generic network config tool, and libvirt merely the conduit to exposing this through an API, most importantly, a remotable API. David

[libvirt] autostart with xend

It doesn't work quite right with a running domain. The 'new' will correctly set the config, but the temporary config doesn't include the new setting. So tests of the form "set autostart; is it set?" will fail. Suggestions? Also, why isn't this represented in the XML? thanks, john
