[libvirt] Libvirt 0.9.2 week freeze, RC1 version to test
by Daniel Veillard 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

So we are entering the week freeze for the new version. I have made an rc1 tarball available at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.2-rc1.tar.gz I also made rpms too for those interested. I didn't included the locking patches from Dan Berrange, though I had given a review and ACK on the previous version. Maybe we can push this soon and then I will made an rc2. It would be nice to try to identify the OpenSolaris portability issues,a dn if someone could give it a try on Win32 that would be great (along other linux builds of course !) I have tried it locally and basic operations seems to work fine, please give it a try too. thanks !

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/10] coverity cleanups, round 1
by Eric Blake 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Coverity reported a number of bugs against libvirt. I ran out of time to get through them all today, but there are certainly some real doozies in here. I've blamed commits where non-trivial bugs were introduced, to help distros decide if things need back-porting (I think that leaks on OOM situations and coverity false positives are not serious enough to warrant a back-port). These patches are pretty much independent (can be applied in any order); I suppose I could have rebased it to order the series by severity, oh well.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix regressions BlockStats/Info APIs in QEMU driver

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com> The change 18c2a592064d69499f70428e498f4a3cb5161cda caused some regressions in behaviour of virDomainBlockStats and virDomainBlockInfo in the QEMU driver.

[libvirt] [PATCHv4 0/7] interface: new public API for network config change transactions
by Laine Stump 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

(This is v3 of some of the patches and v4 of some others. Changes from previous versions are noted in the individual patches.) This patch series implements three new APIs for the interface driver which support transactional changes to the host's network config - at any point you can begin a transaction (which saves a snapshot of the current config), then make any changes you like to the config, and later either commit those changes (the current implementation just removes the snapshotted files) or rollback to the original config. The actual implementation of this functionality lives in the netcf library; these patches create pass-through functions that call out to netcf on the machine that's running libvirtd. Most importantly, note that uses of "start" in the API names have been changed to "begin", and rather than a single virsh command with multiple subcommands, there are now three separate commands: iface-begin, iface-commit, and iface-rollback. Thanks to using AC_CHECK_LIB in configure.ac, this code can safely be pushed and built on systems that don't yet have a new enough netcf to contain the API extensions - those functions are simply not implemented in that case (and return the appropriate error).
