[libvirt] [RFC] Porting Qemu driver to FreeBSD
by Roman Bogorodskiy 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hi, Recently I have picked up Sean's and Hiren's activities in porting Qemu driver on FreeBSD. At this point I have the basics working. Meaning that these things work: - Basic host commands (version, nodeinfo, etc) - Can perform basic operations on the VM (start, stop, destroy, etc) - Basic bridging (bridge creation/removing, adding/removing interfaces, setting addresses etc) Currently I keep FreeBSD specific info here: https://github.com/novel/fbsd-libvirt/blob/freebsd/README-freebsd There are a number things to be done: - Firewall support. Currently I have just disabled iptables calls and add general ipfw NAT rules for all VMs. This appears to be the most tough part for me at this point for a number of reasons: * FreeBSD has two widely used firewall packages: pf and ipfw. I'm not sure if they play nice together, e.g. if I choose to use ipfw, people that have pf configuration will have problems making libvirt work with their existing setup * Need to design a general schema for injection of the rules so they don't harm existing setup ipfw seems to be more appealing for automatic control via external applications like libvirt, but I'm still not sure how to organise rulesets. - Affinity stuff needs to be implemented - Code needs a lot of clean-up, needs to be refactored to extract common cross-platfrom code, etc - NWFilter stuff needs to be implemented (this is sort of a long term goal) The code is available here: https://github.com/novel/fbsd-libvirt/tree/freebsd Current changes could be observed here: https://github.com/novel/fbsd-libvirt/compare/upstream_master...freebsd I would appreciate your thoughts and feedback on that topic. Thanks Roman Bogorodskiy

Hi Bernd, This is a libvirt question, I have CCed the libvirt mailing list. Do not edit the XML files on disk. Instead, use virsh edit (to modify) and virsh dumpxml (to view). Stefan

[libvirt] [RFC PATCHv2 0/n] snapshot: add revert-and-create branching
by Eric Blake 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg00484.html Since then, I've folded in review comments on 1; 2-4 are new. Documentation is still pending (split out of 1 based on the v1 review). Also, I'm still writing and testing the actual qemu use of the new snapshot_conf.c code, so this series is not quite ready for committing without that being done. In my review of Peter's series, I promised to post my patch for making it easier to clone the in-memory view of a domain when creating or reverting to a snapshot; that's patch 3.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Log an audit message with the LXC init pid
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com> Currently the LXC driver logs audit messages when a container is started or stopped. These audit messages, however, contain the PID of the libvirt_lxc supervisor process. To enable sysadmins to correlate with audit messages generated by processes /inside/ the container, we need to include the container init process PID. We can't do this in the main 'start' audit message, since the init PID is not available at that point. Instead we output a completely new audit record, that lists both PIDs. type=VIRT_CONTROL msg=audit(1353433750.071:363): pid=20180 uid=0 auid=501 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='virt=lxc op=init vm="busy" uuid=dda7b947-0846-1759-2873-0f375df7d7eb vm-pid=20371 init-pid=20372 exe="/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=pts/6 res=success' --- src/conf/domain_audit.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/conf/domain_audit.h | 3 +++ src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/lxc/lxc_controller.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/lxc/lxc_monitor.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ src/lxc/lxc_monitor.h | 5 +++++ src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 8 ++++++++ src/lxc/lxc_protocol.x | 7 ++++++- 8 files changed, 102 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_audit.c b/src/conf/domain_audit.c index 0f3924a..34cd92e 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_audit.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_audit.c @@ -605,6 +605,32 @@ virDomainAuditStart(virDomainObjPtr vm, const char *reason, bool success) virDomainAuditLifecycle(vm, "start", reason, success);

[libvirt] [PATCH] conf: Report sensible error for invalid disk name
by Martin Kletzander 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

The error "... but the cause is unknown" appeared for XMLs similar to this: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/dev/zero'/> <target dev='sr0'/> </disk> Notice unsupported disk type (for the driver), but also no address specified. The first part is not a problem and we should not abort immediately because of that, but the combination with the address unknown was causing an unspecified error. --- src/util/util.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/util/util.c b/src/util/util.c index 75b18c1..d5b2c97 100644 --- a/src/util/util.c +++ b/src/util/util.c @@ -2189,8 +2189,12 @@ int virDiskNameToIndex(const char *name) { } } - if (!ptr) + if (!ptr) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR, + _("Unknown disk name '%s' and no address specified"), + name); return -1; + } for (i = 0; *ptr; i++) { idx = (idx + (i < 1 ? 0 : 1)) * 26; -- 1.8.0

[libvirt] Report guest IPs as XML or struct?
by Michal Privoznik 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I've proposed both approaches in the past. However, none of them was accepted as we ought to agree on $subj first. Frankly, both makes sense to me, both has advantages and disadvantages. XML - keeps things more consistent as libvirt is tied to XML, right? Pros: - can add items over the time Cons: - more complicated to parse and dump info (apps would have to query multiple XPATHs to get answer - at least with my implementation I've sent) struct - it would be a linked list or array of structs in fact Pros: - easier to dump useful data Cons: - once struct is released we cannot change it if we don't want to break ABI. What things do we want to expose for now? qemu guest agent reports: - type of IP address (v4/v6) - prefix length - actual address (string) (these can repeat multiple times, since there's 1:* relationship between interface an IP addresses) - hw address - name as seen within guest (HW address can be omitted - not all interfaces must have one). The only element that will be there for sure is name then. The whole QAPI schema can be found in qapi-schema-guest.json [1]. Suggestions are welcome.

[libvirt] Plan A or Plan B?
by Gene Czarcinski 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Plan A: This consists of the set of patches I have submitted for conf-file, DHCPv6, etc. The response has been a resounding SILENCE. Thus, I am assuming that there is some reluctance to adopting these changes in their current form. This especially includes the conf-file changes. While I believe that changing dnsmasq parameters from the command-line to a configuration file makes a great deal of sense and might have been the approach if this was being done today, there is resistance to change. OK, so here is Plan B: I am removing the conf-file and related changes. They will be repackaged and resubmitted at some later time. The new multi-file patch will focus on "IPV6 Enhanced Support" which will consist of the following: 1. In a manner similar to what is done for IPV6, add ip6tables rules to permit virtual systems to communicate via a defined virtual interface which has no gateway addresses defined. This does mean that virtual systems will not be able to communicate with the host via this interface ... only with each other. Also, the following must be: net.ipv6.conf.virbr19.disable_ipv6 = 1 so that the kernel does not start anything. This implements IPv6 functionality currently available for IPv4. Documentation will be added to explain the functionality for both IPv4 and IPv6. [BTW, the only place I have found to add documentaiotn is in the "docs/formatnetwork.html.in" file. If there are other files I should be updating, please enlighten me.] 2. Add code to get the dnsmasq version and save that information. The added code described below will require a dnsmasq version greater than or equal to 2.64. Documentation will be updated to state that dnsmasq >= 2.64 is required for DHCPv6. 3. Implement support for DHCPv6. Most of this is already done with the existing patch. However, this refits the code to work with command-line parameters AND adds a check for dnsmasq >= 2.64. Naturally, tests and documentation will be updated. 4. If dnsmasq >= 2.64, do not use radvd but instead use dnsmasq to support the RA service for both state-full and state-less IPV6. OPTIONS: ======== a) If dnsmasq < 2.64, just ignore dhcp-range or dhcp-host definitions OR b) issue error message and stop dnsmasq startup if dhcp-range or dhcp-host is specified. ======== c) Currently, tests for valid dhcp specifications is only done when a network is started (all significant changes are to "network/bridge_driver.c". This situation could continue. Thus, virsh could be used to specify dhcp-range and dhcp-host but it would not work if the network was started. OR d) Move the dnsmasq version checks back into when the network is defined. This would be a bit "trickier" to implement properly since the same code is used by multiple network types and not just that supported by "network/bridge_driver.c". If this is the approach, I will need some guidance as to modifying "conf/network.c". OK folks. I need some input here. I realize that all of you are very busy working your own interests but I need a little time from someone with "commit" authority to say "go ahead" or "get lost". Gene
