[libvirt] storage:lvm pool creation fails because of vg not built
by lvroyce 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

1.how to reproduce the reproduce steps just as http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-November/msg01151.html 2.analyse: since create = define + start so pool-create can't work for the vg pre-built condition, shall we change create = define + build + start(if vg does not exist) and create=define+start(if vg exists)? Thank you for your suggestion!

[libvirt] storage: pool definition discarded by pool-create failure
by lvroyce 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

1.how to reproduce: (1)just use LVM disk,leave libvirt create vg (2)xml: <pool type='logical'> <name>pic_pool2</name> <source> <device path='/dev/sdb1'/> <device path='/dev/sdb2'/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/pic_pool2</path> </target> </pool> (3)steps: a.start libvirtd,copy xml b.virsh pool-define lvm_pool.xml c.virsh pool-list --all lvm_pool exsists c.virsh pool-create lvm_pool.xml lvm_pool disappears 2.analyze: here pool-create fails because of vg has not been built before "vgchange",and pool-create will delete pool-def after failure. pool-create can fail because a lot of reasons, but it doesn't mean previous pool definition should be obselete,previous definition should remain unchanged if following pool management fails. 3.fix: shall we make backend->startPool gurantee pool unchanged in condition of start fails or offer an undo function after failure?

[libvirt] [RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Libvirt for PowerPC
by Prerna Saxena 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hi, Recent development in KVM for 64-bit Power ISA Book3S machines, allows users to run multiple KVM guest instances on POWER7 and PPC970 processor based systems. Also qemu-system-ppc64 has been enhanced to support a new machine type "pseries" suitable for Power Book3S machines. This addition effectively brings the KVM+qemu combination to run multiple guest instances on a Power Book3S machine. Libvirt continues to be the key interface to configure and manage the KVM guest instances on x86. This patch set is an effort to enable libvirt to support KVM guest configuration and management on Power Book3S machines. Based on community discussion around the earlier version, this patch series augments the present 'kvm' driver to support PowerPC-KVM based guests. Since some of the supported devices vary between architectures, the code is now reworked to dynamically choose the correct handler function based on guest domain architecture at runtime (def->os.arch). This patch series consists of 4 patches : Patch 1/4 : Use sysfs to gather host topology. Presently libvirt depends on /proc/cpuinfo gather CPU, cores, threads, etc This is highly architecture dependent. A alternative is to use sysfs, which provides a platform-neutral interface to parse CPU topology. Patch 2/4 : Add PowerPC CPU Driver Patch 3/4 : Add support for qemu-system-ppc64 Patch 4/4 : Refactor qemu commmand-line generation to separate out arch- specific options from generic command line. Changelog from v1: * Patches 1,2,3 unchanged ; The hacks in Patch 4 of v1 have been replaced by a new patch to neatly select arch-specific features. Awaiting comments and feedback, -- Prerna Saxena Linux Technology Centre, IBM Systems and Technology Lab, Bangalore, India

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: add iface-bridge and iface-unbridge commands
by Laine Stump 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

One of the top questions by libvirt users is how to create a host bridge device so that guests can be directly on the physical network. There are several example documents that explain how to do this manually, but following them often results in confusion and failure. virt-manager does a good job of creating a bridge based on an existing network device, but not everyone wants to use virt-manager. This patch adds a new command, iface-bridge that makes it just about as simple as possible to create a new bridge device based on an existing ethernet/vlan/bond device (including associating IP configuration with the bridge rather than the now-attached device), and start that new bridge up ready for action, eg: virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0 For symmetry's sake, it also adds a command to remove a device from a bridge, restoring the IP config to the now-unattached device: virsh iface-unbridge br0 (I had a short debate about whether to do "iface-unbridge eth0" instead, but that would involve searching through all bridge devices for the one that contained eth0, which seems like a bit too much trouble). NOTE: These two commands require that the netcf library be available on the host. Hopefully this will provide some extra incentive for people using suse, debian, ubuntu, and other similar systems to polish up (and push downstream) the ports to those distros recently pushed to the upstream netcf repo by Dan Berrange. Anyone interested in helping with that effort in any way should join the netcf-devel mailing list (subscription info at https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/netcf-devel) During creation of the bridge, it's possible to specify whether or not the STP protocol should be started up on the bridge and, if so, how many seconds the bridge should squelch traffic from newly added devices while learning new topology (defaults are stp='on' and delay='0', which seems to usually work best for bridges used in the context of libvirt guests). There is also an option to not immediately start the bridge (and a similar option to not immediately start the un-attached device after dfestroying the bridge. Default is to start the new device, because in the case of iface-unbridge not starting is strongly discouraged as it will leave the system with no network connectivity on that interface (because it's necessary to destroy/undefine the bridge device before the unattached device can be defined), and it seemed better to make the option for iface-bridge behave consistently. Aside from adding the code for these two functions, and the two entries into the command table, the only other change to virsh.c was to add the option name to vshCommandOptInterfaceBy(), because the iface-unbridge command names its interface option as "bridge". After being hounded by Eric to always put documentation in with any new code changes, this patch seems a bit naked without some html bits describing it :-), but it looks like docs/virshcmdref.html.in has been deprecated in favor of the version in the separate repo at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-virshcmdref.git. --- tools/virsh.c | 430 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 files changed, 425 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/virsh.c b/tools/virsh.c index af80e4b..ddfd341 100644 --- a/tools/virsh.c +++ b/tools/virsh.c @@ -330,12 +330,14 @@ static virNWFilterPtr vshCommandOptNWFilterBy(vshControl *ctl, const vshCmd *cmd VSH_BYUUID|VSH_BYNAME) static virInterfacePtr vshCommandOptInterfaceBy(vshControl *ctl, const vshCmd *cmd, + const char *optname, + const char **name, int flag);

[libvirt] [RFC][PATCHv2 00/11] add numatune command
by Hu Tao 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

This series does mainly two things: 1. use cgroup cpuset to manage numa parameters 2. add a virsh command numatune to allow user to change numa parameters from command line Current numa parameters include nodeset and mode, but these cgroup cpuset provides don't completely match with them, details: params cpuset ------------------------------------------------------ nodeset cpuset provides cpuset.mems mode strict cpuset provides cpuset.mem_hardwall mode interleave cpuset provices cpuset.memory_spread_* mode preferred no equivalent. !spread to preferred? Besides, only one of the mode can be set currently at a time, but for cpuset, the parameters are independent. From the perspective of cpuset, we can set all the modes values independently, but it seems not be consistent with the current numatune definition in xml. Maybe we can improve the xml definition to fit cpuset better?(there are more cpuset parameters than listed above) Hu Tao (11): don't modify CPU set string in virDomainCpuSetParse enable cgroup cpuset by default Add functions to set/get cgroup cpuset parameters introduce numa backend use cpuset to manage numa add VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_MEM_NONE add new API virDomain{G,S}etNumaParameters Implement main entries of virDomain{G,S}etNumaParameters Add virDomain{G,S}etNumaParameters support to the remote driver Implement virDomain{G,S}etNumaParameters for the qemu driver add new command numatune to virsh daemon/remote.c | 64 +++++++ include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 23 +++ python/generator.py | 2 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 2 +- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 9 + src/driver.h | 15 ++ src/libvirt.c | 113 ++++++++++++ src/libvirt_private.syms | 10 + src/libvirt_public.syms | 6 + src/qemu/qemu.conf | 5 +- src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 73 ++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 3 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 399 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 11 +- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 50 ++++++ src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 25 +++- src/remote_protocol-structs | 16 ++ src/util/cgroup.c | 112 ++++++++++++ src/util/cgroup.h | 11 ++ tools/virsh.c | 180 +++++++++++++++++++ 20 files changed, 1121 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 1.7.3.1

[libvirt] [PATCH] Bug Fix: Do not release network actual device in qemuBuildCommandLine on error
by Roopa Prabhu 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

From: Roopa Prabhu <roprabhu(a)cisco.com> For direct attach devices, in qemuBuildCommandLine, we seem to be freeing actual device on error path (with networkReleaseActualDevice). But the actual device is not deleted. qemuProcessStop eventually deletes the direct attach device and releases actual device. But by the time qemuProcessStop is called qemuBuildCommandLine has already freed actual device. Leaving stray macvtap devices behind on error. So the simplest fix is to remove the networkReleaseActualDevice in qemuBuildCommandLine. This patch does just that. Does this look right ?. I have only verified this with direct and bridge mode. The other option is to do both delMacvtap and networkReleaseActualDevice in qemuBuildCommandLine instead of doing only networkReleaseActualDevice. I do have a patch for this too.
