[libvirt] Storage pool/volume support in libvirt-gconfig
by Christophe Fergeau 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hi, This patch series adds configuration of storage pools and volumes to libvirt-gconfig. Nothing particularly exciting in there, just more gobjects and setters using the existing helpers. Maybe it would be worth introducing a gvir_config_object_set_content_with_attributes to factor some redundant code. Christophe

[libvirt] Transitioning from HMP to QMP for QEMU
by Stefan Hajnoczi 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

What is the status of QEMU's transition from HMP to the QMP interface? My current understanding is that QEMU provides new HMP commands for humans, but HMP is being phased out as an API. Management tools should rely only on QMP for new commands. That would mean new HMP commands are not guaranteed to produce backwards-compatible output because tools are not supposed to parse the output. On the libvirt side, new QEMU features should only be supported via the json monitor in the future (i.e. human monitor patches should not be sent/merged)? Existing HMP commands will still need the human monitor support in order to handle old QEMU versions gracefully, but I'm thinking about new commands only. Does everyone agree on this? I think this is an important discussion if we want our management interface to get better and more consistent in the future. Stefan

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Fix race between async and query jobs
by Jiri Denemark 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

If an async job run on a domain will stop the domain at the end of the job, a concurrently run query job can hang in qemu monitor nothing can be done with that domain from this point on. An attempt to start such domain results in "Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock" error. However, quite a few things have to happen at the right time... There must be an async job running, which stops a domain at the end. This race was with dump --crash but other similar jobs, such as (managed)save and migration, should be able to trigger this bug as well. While this async job is processing its last monitor command, that is a query-migrate to which qemu replies with status "completed", a new libvirt API that results in a query job must arrive and stay waiting until the query-migrate command finishes. Once query-migrate is done but before the async job closes qemu monitor while stopping the domain, the other thread needs to wake up and call qemuMonitorSend to send its command to qemu. Before qemu gets a chance to respond to this command, the async job needs to close the monitor. At this point, the query job thread is waiting for a condition that no-one will ever signal so it never finishes the job. --- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c b/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c index 4141fb7..35648ae 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c @@ -750,6 +750,20 @@ void qemuMonitorClose(qemuMonitorPtr mon) VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(mon->fd); } + /* In case another thread is waiting for its monitor command to be + * processed, we need to wake it up with appropriate error set. + */ + if (mon->msg) { + if (mon->lastError.code == VIR_ERR_OK) { + qemuReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_FAILED, + _("Qemu monitor was closed")); + virCopyLastError(&mon->lastError); + virResetLastError(); + } + mon->msg->finished = 1; + virCondSignal(&mon->notify); + } + if (qemuMonitorUnref(mon) > 0) qemuMonitorUnlock(mon); } -- 1.7.8
