[libvirt] [BUG?] killall -SIGHUP libvirtd / virStateReload
by Philipp Hahn 12 Aug '11

Hello, did something happen to sending SIGHUP to libvirtd? I can't find where the hook for SIGHUP is installed and virStateReload() seems to be uncalled. In 0.8.4 that was handled from qemudDispatchSignalEvent(), which seems to be gone. At least the manual page should be updated?

[libvirt] [PATCH] snapshot: one less point of failure in qemu
by Eric Blake 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727709 mentions that if qemu fails to create the snapshot (such as what happens on Fedora 15 qemu, which has qmp but where savevm is only in hmp, and where libvirt is old enough to not try the hmp fallback), then 'virsh snapshot-list dom' will show a garbage snapshot entry, and the libvirt internal directory for storing snapshot metadata. This fixes the fallout bug of polluting the snapshot-list with garbage on failure (the root cause of the F15 bug of not having fallback to hmp has already been fixed in newer libvirt releases). * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Allocate memory before making snapshot, and cleanup on failure. --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 23 ++++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 7802e08..da2703e 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -8665,7 +8665,7 @@ static virDomainSnapshotPtr qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML(virDomainPtr domain, virDomainSnapshotObjPtr snap = NULL; virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot = NULL; char uuidstr[VIR_UUID_STRING_BUFLEN]; - virDomainSnapshotDefPtr def; + virDomainSnapshotDefPtr def = NULL; virCheckFlags(0, NULL); @@ -8695,6 +8695,13 @@ static virDomainSnapshotPtr qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML(virDomainPtr domain, goto cleanup; snap->def->state = virDomainObjGetState(vm, NULL); + if (vm->current_snapshot) { + def->parent = strdup(vm->current_snapshot->def->name); + if (def->parent == NULL) { + virReportOOMError(); + goto cleanup; + } + } /* actually do the snapshot */ if (!virDomainObjIsActive(vm)) { @@ -8711,14 +8718,6 @@ static virDomainSnapshotPtr qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML(virDomainPtr domain, * on it, so we have to go forward the best we can */ - if (vm->current_snapshot) { - def->parent = strdup(vm->current_snapshot->def->name); - if (def->parent == NULL) { - virReportOOMError(); - goto cleanup; - } - } - /* Now we set the new current_snapshot for the domain */ vm->current_snapshot = snap; @@ -8732,6 +8731,12 @@ static virDomainSnapshotPtr qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML(virDomainPtr domain, cleanup: if (vm) virDomainObjUnlock(vm); + if (!snapshot) { + if (snap) + virDomainSnapshotObjListRemove(&vm->snapshots, snap); + else + virDomainSnapshotDefFree(def); + } qemuDriverUnlock(driver); return snapshot; } -- 1.7.4.4

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Some rearrangement & additions to pid file handling/locking
by Daniel P. Berrange 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

This series is a collection of changes related to pidfiles. First we define some wrappers around fcntl()'s lock file capability. Then all existing pidfile APIs from src/util/util.h are moved into a new file src/util/virpidfile.h. Next a new API for doing a sanity check on a PID (using /proc/$PID/exe) is introduced. Then two clever functions for doing race free, crash-safe acquisition & release of pidfiles are introduced. Finally libvirtd is converted to use the new pidfile acquisition API.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] snapshot: allow deletion of just snapshot metadata
by Eric Blake 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

A future patch will make it impossible to remove a domain if it would leave behind any libvirt-tracked metadata about snapshots, since stale metadata interferes with a new domain by the same name. But requiring snaphot contents to be deleted before removing a domain is harsh; with qemu, qemu-img can still make use of the contents after the libvirt domain is gone. Therefore, we need an option to get rid of libvirt tracking information, but not the actual contents. For hypervisors that do not track any metadata in libvirt, the implementation is trivial; all remaining hypervisors (really, just qemu) will be dealt with separately. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY): New flag. * src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotDelete): Document it. * src/esx/esx_driver.c (esxDomainSnapshotDelete): Trivially supported when there is no libvirt metadata. * src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxDomainSnapshotDelete): Likewise. --- Progress towards implementing my RFC.
