[libvirt] Virtio Balloon Dynamic behaviour ??
by Pankaj Rawat 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi all, I want to be clear in details regarding Virtio balloon Driver in RHEL 6.1 KVM hypervisor In documentations it is written that Virtio balloon driver allow the guest to expand its memory dynamically . Now I want to know the meaning of dynamically ... Whether it means 1) We can change the memory of guest using libvirt API only i.e by using virsh setmem command at runtime (VERIFIED) 2) Or the guest itself can check that it is running out of memory so it request host for some memory and when the host respond by giving back memory it expands its memory size. Which is automation The 1st option is working fine Now can anyone tell me that memory expantion can be done dynamically(point 2) also DISCLAIMER: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.

[libvirt] (no subject)
by Osier Yang 10 Dec '11

Hi, all This is a basic implementation of libvirt Native Linux KVM Tool driver. Note that this is just made with my own interest and spare time, it's not an endorsement/effort by Red Hat, and it isn't supported by Red Hat officially. Basically, the driver is designed as *stateful*, as KVM tool doesn't maintain any info about the guest except a socket which for its own IPC. And it's implemented by using KVM tool binary, which is name "kvm" currently, along with cgroup controllers "cpuacct", and "memory" support. And as one of KVM tool's pricinple is to allow both the non-root and root user to play with. The driver is designed to support root and non-root too, just like QEMU does. Example of the connection URI: virsh -c kvmtool:///system virsh -c kvmtool:///session virsh -c kvmtool+unix:///system virsh -c kvmtool+unix:///session The implementation can support more or less than 15 virsh commands currently, including basic domain cycle operations (define/undefine, start/destroy, suspend/resume, console, setmem, schedinfo, dumpxml, ,autostart, dominfo, etc.) About the domain configuration: * "kernel": must be specified as KVM tool only support boots from the kernel currently (no integration with BIOS app yet). * "disk": only virtio bus is supported, and device type must be 'disk'. * "serial/console": only one console is supported, of type serial or virtio (can extend to support multiple console as long as kvm tool supports, libvirt already supported mutiple console, see upstream commit 0873b688c). * "p9fs": only support specifying the source dir, and mount tag, only type of 'mount' is supported. * "memballoon": only virtio is supported, and there is no way to config the addr. * Multiple "disk" and "p9fs" is supported. * Graphics and network are not supported, will explain below. Please see "[PATCH 7/8]" for an example of the domain config. (which contains all the XMLs supported by current implementation). The problems of Native Linux KVM Tool from libvirt p.o.v: * Some destros package "qemu-kvm" as "kvm", also "kvm" is a long established name for "KVM" itself, so naming the project as "kvm" might be not a good idea. I assume it will be named as "kvmtool" in this implementation, never mind this if you don't like that, it can be updated easily. :-) * It still doesn't have an official package yet, even no "make install". means we have no way to check the dependancy and do the checking when 'configure'. I assume it will be installed as "/usr/bin/kvmtool" in this implementation. This is the main reason which can prevents upstream libvirt accepting the patches I guess. * Lacks of options for user's configuration, such as "-vnc", there is no option for user to configure the properties for the "vnc", such as the port. It hides things, doesn't provide ways to query the properties too, this causes problems for libvirt to add the vnc support, as vnc clients such as virt-manager, virt-viewer, have no way to connect the guest. Even vncviewer can't. * KVM tool manages the network completely itself (with DHCP support?), no way to configure, except specify the modes (user|tap|none). I have not test it yet, but it should need explicit script to setup the network rules(e.g. NAT) for the guest access outside world. Anyway, there is no way for libvirt to control the guest network. * There is a gap about the domain status between KVM tool and libvirt, it's caused by KVM tool unlink()s the guest socket when user exits from console (both text and graphic), but libvirt still think the guest is running. * KVM tool uses $HOME/.kvm_tool as the state dir, and no way to configure, I made a small patch to allow KVM tool accept a ENV variable, which is "KVM_STATE_DIR", it's used across the driver. I made a simple patch against kvm tool to let the whole patches work. See "[PATCH] kvm tools.....". As generally we want the state dir of a driver can be "/var/run/libvirt/kvmtool/..." for root user or "$HOME/.libvirt/kvmtool/run" for non-root user. * kvmtoolGetVersion is just broken now, as what "./kvm version" returns is something like "3.0.rc5.873.gb73216", however, libvirt wants things like "2.6.40.6-0". This might be not a problem as long as KVM tool has a official package. * console connection is implemented by setup ptys in libvirt, stdout/stderr of kvm tool process is redirected to the master pty, and libvirt connects to the slave pty. This works fine now, but it might be better if kvm tool could provide more advanced console mechanisms. Just like QEMU does? * Not much ways existed yet for external apps or user to query the guest informations. But this might be changed soon per KVM tool grows up quickly. * It will be quite desireable if kvm tool could report the capabilities, of which is lacked by QEMU forever (seems so), it causes much pain for upper layer mgmt apps. See the RFC by Daniel Berrange in QEMU list for more details: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-06/msg00921.html As a conclusion, it seems to me that KVM tool dosesn't consider too much about the interface for upper layer management tools, (generally, upper layer apps will want good interface to set/get), which might be no good for KVM tool future development. Thoughts, and opinions? Thanks.

[libvirt] [PATCH] test: fix potential lock corruption in test driver
by Laine Stump 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

From: Laine Stump <laine(a)redhat.com> In some error situations, the function testDomainRestoreFlags() could unlock the test driver mutex without first locking it. This patch moves the lock operation earlier, so that it occurs before any potential jump down to the unlock call. I found this problem while auditing the test driver lock usage to determine the cause of a hang while running the following test: cd tests; while true; do printf x; ./undefine; done This patch *does not* solve that problem, but we now understand its actual source, and danpb is working on a patch. --- src/test/test_driver.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/test/test_driver.c b/src/test/test_driver.c index ce94a17..89f7df1 100644 --- a/src/test/test_driver.c +++ b/src/test/test_driver.c @@ -1861,6 +1861,8 @@ testDomainRestoreFlags(virConnectPtr conn, return -1; } + testDriverLock(privconn); + if ((fd = open(path, O_RDONLY)) < 0) { virReportSystemError(errno, _("cannot read domain image '%s'"), @@ -1900,7 +1902,6 @@ testDomainRestoreFlags(virConnectPtr conn, } xml[len] = '\0'; - testDriverLock(privconn); def = virDomainDefParseString(privconn->caps, xml, 1 << VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_TEST, VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE); -- 1.7.7.3

[libvirt] [PATCH] test: replace deprecated "fedora-13" machine with "pc-0.13"
by Laine Stump 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

One of the xml tests in the test suite was created using a now-deprecated qemu machine type ("fedora-13", which was only ever valid for Fedora builds of qemu). Although strictly speaking it's not necessary to replace it with an actual supported qemu machine type (since the xml in question is never actually sent to qemu), this patch changes it to the actually-supported "pc-0.13" just for general tidiness. (Also, on some Fedora builds which contain a special patch to rid the world of "fedora-13", having it mentioned in the test suite will cause make check to fail.) --- .../qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.xml | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.args b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.args index 1da0073..c6634fd 100644 --- a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.args +++ b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.args @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin HOME=/root USER=root LOGNAME=root \ -/usr/bin/qemu -S -M fedora-13 -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name \ +/usr/bin/qemu -S -M pc-0.13 -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name \ encryptdisk -uuid 496898a6-e6ff-f7c8-5dc2-3cf410945ee9 -nographic -nodefconfig \ -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,\ path=//var/lib/libvirt/qemu/encryptdisk.monitor,server,nowait -mon \ diff --git a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.xml b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.xml index f5e5d74..fdcf624 100644 --- a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.xml +++ b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-encrypted-disk.xml @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> - <type arch='i686' machine='fedora-13'>hvm</type> + <type arch='i686' machine='pc-0.13'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> -- 1.7.7.3

[libvirt] [PATCH] network: don't add iptables rules for externally managed networks
by Laine Stump 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

From: Laine Stump <laine(a)redhat.com> This patch addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760442 When a network has any forward type other than route, nat or none, the network configuration should be done completely external to libvirt - libvirt only uses these types to allow configuring guests in a manner that isn't tied to a specific host (all the host-specific information, in particular interface names, port profile data, and bandwidth configuration is in the network definition, and the guest configuration only references it). Due to a bug in the bridge network driver, libvirt was adding iptables rules for networks with forward type='bridge' etc. any time libvirtd was restarted while one of these networks was active. This patch eliminates that error by only "reloading" iptables rules if forward type is route, nat, or none. --- src/network/bridge_driver.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/network/bridge_driver.c b/src/network/bridge_driver.c index 63338a2..44c80e1 100644 --- a/src/network/bridge_driver.c +++ b/src/network/bridge_driver.c @@ -1470,14 +1470,22 @@ networkReloadIptablesRules(struct network_driver *driver) VIR_INFO("Reloading iptables rules"); for (i = 0 ; i < driver->networks.count ; i++) { - virNetworkObjLock(driver->networks.objs[i]); - if (virNetworkObjIsActive(driver->networks.objs[i])) { - networkRemoveIptablesRules(driver, driver->networks.objs[i]); - if (networkAddIptablesRules(driver, driver->networks.objs[i]) < 0) { + virNetworkObjPtr network = driver->networks.objs[i]; + + virNetworkObjLock(network); + if (virNetworkObjIsActive(network) && + ((network->def->forwardType == VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_NONE) || + (network->def->forwardType == VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_NAT) || + (network->def->forwardType == VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_ROUTE))) { + /* Only the three L3 network types that are configured by libvirt + * need to have iptables rules reloaded. + */ + networkRemoveIptablesRules(driver, network); + if (networkAddIptablesRules(driver, network) < 0) { /* failed to add but already logged */ } } - virNetworkObjUnlock(driver->networks.objs[i]); + virNetworkObjUnlock(network); } } -- 1.7.7.3
