[libvirt] Migration API broken for xenmigr://
by John Levon
2675 * Returns the new domain object if the migration was successful,
2676 * or NULL in case of error. Note that the new domain object
2677 * exists in the scope of the destination connection (dconn).
This is obviously impossible for xenmigr:///. As a result, virsh migrate
always returns an error code:
# virsh migrate --live domu-220 xen:/// interpol
18:44:40.974: error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
thewhip:xend # echo $?
1
Since virDomainLookupByName() returns NULL. I will request again, can I
remove the 'error' code from xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName?
More importantly, how can this be fixed? Perhaps we can return 'domain'
instead of 'ddomain' if a migrateuri was specified? Also, where does
'domain' get freed in the case where 'ddomain' is returned?
Wish I'd spotted this when it went in :(

[libvirt] PATCH: Fix leak in storage driver
by Daniel P. Berrange
A recent change to keep the storage pools active upon shutdown, exposed a
minor flaw in the code which free's a virStoragePoolObj instance. It
never free's the associated volumes, since it presumed you'd never free
a pool, which was still active. A bogus assumption, causing us to leak
memory upon daemon shutdown, thus annoying valgrind.

[libvirt] PATCH: Fix passing of ifname to QEMU
by Daniel P. Berrange
When using the type='ethernet' network device configuration for a guest
we pass a script, and optional interface name to QEMU. If ifname is
omitted, then QEMU allocates one itself. The problem was we were passing
an ifname of '(null)' by mistake. This patch corrects that problem and
adds a test for it.

[libvirt] patch: allow disk cache mode to be specified in a domain's xml definition.
by john cooper
We have found certain application scenarios where
overriding of the default qemu host cache mode
provides a substantial improvement in guest
performance. In particular, disabling host caching
of the file/dev backing a guest drive. A summary
of performance metrics may be found below.
Attached is a simple patch which adds general
support for a "cache=*" attribute to be passed
to qemu from libvirt as part of a xml <driver>
element. It is parsed in a domain's xml definition
as well as being generated during output of the
same. For example:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/guest_roots/fc8.root'/>
<target dev='hda'/>
<driver name='qemu' type='qwerty' cache='none'/>
</disk>
where both the existing "type=*" and added "cache=*"
attributes are optional and independent.
Note this is only intended to serve as an internal
hook allowing override of qemu's default cache
behavior. At the present it is not proposed as an
end-user documented/visible feature.

[libvirt] (resend) Problems with virt-manager checking access on virtual images.
by Daniel J Walsh
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Met with Cole this morning and we talked about how SELinux can cause
people headaches when installing virtual images from random locations.
User downloads a iso image to his home directory and then uses
virt-manager to install it. Problem is when the user has the whole
thing configured, virt-manager tells libvirt to install. It executes
qemu and SELinux prevents qemu from reading the iso image because it is
labeled user_home_t and qemu is not allowed to read the contents of the
home directory. qemu blows up with permission denied and the user is at
a loss to what just happened.
As we talked we realised this is not just an SELinux problem, but would
also happen if a use had an nfs homedir or potentially a samba home
directory where root was not allowed access. Also pam_namespace would
cause problems, in the /tmp or /home/dwalsh would not be the same for
root as they are for the user.
One solution to the SELinux problem is to have a label that virt-manager
could apply to the iso image (virt_content_ro_t). This would allow qemu
to access the file as long as it had search access to the path to the
image. solving most of these problems. But the user could still have
an access problem that would be tough to diagnose. We came up with the
idea of a running a simple helper application to check read access to
the image file. During the install, virt-manager could tell libvirt to
verify access by executing "qemuaccess /home/dwalsh/windows.iso". If
this executable was labeled qemu_exec_t like the other qemu images the
same SELinux transitions would happen and we could instantly figure out
if SELinux was going to cause problems. As a side benefit we could also
check if NFS or samba would cause a problems. If qemuaccess failed,
virt-manager could put up a diagnostic message suggesting SELinux, NFS,
or Samba might be a problem, and the user could move the iso image to
some directory like /var/lib/libvirt/isos/, where libirt would have access.
I have attached a version that could solve the problem.
Comments?

[libvirt] PATCH: Avoid crashing valgrind in LXC driver
by Daniel P. Berrange
The LXC driver makes use of new clone flags for creating containers. It
creates a dummy container which immediately exits in order to test for
availabilty of this feature in the kernel. Unfortunately valgrind has
no knowledge of these new clone flags, gets very very unhappy and then
reports bogus memory leaks, bogus illegal instructions, and then often
SEGV's itself. Not cool. While obviously valgrind needs fixing, I looked
at its code, and it doesn't seem easy, so this patch adds a quick check
for a LD_PRELOAD environemnt variable which contains a library whose
name contains 'vgpreload'. If it sees this, LXC driver totally disables
itself. This lets me reliably valgrind the libvirtd daemon again.
Second, I also move the lxcProbe() call in the lxcOpen() method down a
little, so we only probe if we are actually about to try opening the
connection. This avoids some unneccessary container creation checks
for most virConnectOpen scenarios.
