[libvirt] [PATCH] Add new attribute writeout to <filesystem> element
by Deepak C Shetty 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

This introduces new attribute writeout with only supported value as immediate. This will be an optional attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether to skip the host page cache. When writeout is specified, meaning when writeout=immediate a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation. Usage: <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough' writeout='immediate'> <source dir='/export/to/guest'/> <target dir='mount_tag'/> </filesystem> Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] RFC: grant KVM guests retain arbitrary capabilities
by Taku Izumi 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi all, This patchset adds an option for KVM guests to retain arbitrary capabilities. I want KVM guests to retain "cap_sys_rawio" capability, so I tried to run qemu as root user. However because libvirt clears all capability of KVM guest by default, even if guest is running as root user, it doesn't have any capability. I can fulfill my requirement by disabling "clear_emulator_capabilities" option, but it's not good idea considering security risk. I'm happy libvirt could clear unnecessary capabilities instead of clearing all. That is a motivator for creating this patch. By adding "domain_capabilities" element and to domain XML, its domain can retain specified capabilities like the following: ; VM can retain cap_sys_rawio capability # virsh edit VM ... </features> <domain_capabilities> <cap_sys_rawio/> </domain_capabilities> <clock offset='utc'/> ... # virsh start VM # cat /proc/<VM's PID/status ... CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: fffffffc00020000 CapEff: fffffffc00020000 CapBnd: fffffffc00020000 ... *[PATCH 1/4] conf: add XML schema for domain capabilities *[PATCH 2/4] util: add functions to keep capabilities *[PATCH 3/4] util: extend virExecWithHook() *[PATCH 4/4] qemu: make qemu processes to retain capabilities -- Best regards, Taku Izumi <izumi.taku(a)jp.fujitsu.com>
