[libvirt] [RFC] [Patch] Support for Linux macvtap device
by Stefan Berger
Hello!
The attached patch provides support for the Linux macvtap device for
Qemu by passing a file descriptor to Qemu command line similar to how it
is done with a regular tap device. I have modified the network XML code
to understand a definition as the following one here:
<network>
<name>vepanet</name>
<uuid>4ebd5168-6321-4757-8397-f6e83484f402</uuid>
<extbridge mode='vepa' dev='eth0'/>
</network>
This XML indicates the device that links to the external bridge, here
eth0, and the mode this device is supposed to be set into, here 'vepa'.
If 'extbridge' is found in the XML, all other XML elements that have
been used so far, i.e., bridge, ip, dhcp, etc., are ignored.
The above network description can then be referenced from the virtual
machine definition using the typical interface description of type
'network':
<interface type='network'>
<source network='vepanet'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
The above network XML holds the necessary parameters to open a macvtap
device. Using command line, one would issue the following command to
achieve the same what now libvirt does internally, using a patched
version of the 'ip' command:
ip link add link eth0 <optional name of if> type macvtap mode vepa
This then creates the network interface, i.e., macvtap12, along with
entries in /sys/class/net/macvtap12/ where the content of the ifindex
file returns the integer necessary to build the /dev/tap%d device to
open the file descriptor of and pass to qemu via command line argument.
Some details:
In libvirt I am first searching for an unused interface name following
the template macvtap%d unless the user has provided a name explicitly
or the previous macvtap%d is now taken by another VM. Once that has
succeeded, I follow the path through the filesystem to open the
corresponding /dev/tap%d.
Unlike the regular tap device, where the network interface disappears
once the corresponding file descriptor is closed, the macvtap device
needs explicit tear-down. So, when a VM terminates, I am deleting all
macvtap type interface with the MAC address as the interface of the
terminating VM.
Some further background on this device was recently given here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-January/msg00721.html
The macvtap patch for Linux was posted here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/3/239
I'd be curious about comments on the code.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu_monitor_json.c: avoid an unconditional leak
by Jim Meyering
Calling virJSONValueFree does not free the memory allocated via this:
cmd = qemuMonitorJSONMakeCommand("drive_add",
"s:pci_addr", dev,
"s:opts", drivestr,
NULL);
so I added the VIR_FREE:

[libvirt] [PATCH] pci.c: correct erroneous expression
by Jim Meyering
An expression like this, can never be true, since the RHS is nonzero:
... !pciRead16(dev, PCI_CLASS_DEVICE) == PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_PCI)
This appears to be what was intended:
pciRead16(dev, PCI_CLASS_DEVICE) != PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_PCI)

[libvirt] Potential segfault in udev driver
by Matthias Bolte
udevDeviceMonitorStartup registers udevEventHandleCallback as event
handle, but doesn't store the returned watch id to remove it later on.
Also it's not clear to me whether the event handle should be register
for the whole lifetime of the udev driver instance or just for the
udevEnumerateDevices call.
If for example the call to udevSetupSystemDev [1] fails
udevDeviceMonitorShutdown is called to cleanup, but
udevEventHandleCallback is still registered and may be called when
driverState is NULL again, resulting in a segfault in
udevEventHandleCallback.
So to solve this the udevEventHandleCallback event handle must be
removed at the appropriate place.
Maximilian Wilhelm found this problem.
[1] 22:42:20.960: error : udevSetupSystemDev:1460 : Failed to get udev
device for syspath '/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id' or

[libvirt] [Request]Backport live migration flags from 0.7.3 to 0.6.3?
by edison
Hi,
libvirt 0.7.3 adds the VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST, VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE
flags in migration, which are very useful in our product. Unfortunately, we
use libvirt 0.6.3.20, which is the default in RHEL 5.4. No such advanced
migration feature in this version.
I backported it for 0.6.3.20, in the attached patch. Do you think it's
possible to be merged into 0.6.3.20?:)
