[libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/5] file descriptor passing using pass-fd
by Corey Bryant 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

libvirt's sVirt security driver provides SELinux MAC isolation for Qemu guest processes and their corresponding image files. In other words, sVirt uses SELinux to prevent a QEMU process from opening files that do not belong to it. sVirt provides this support by labeling guests and resources with security labels that are stored in file system extended attributes. Some file systems, such as NFS, do not support the extended attribute security namespace, and therefore cannot support sVirt isolation. A solution to this problem is to provide fd passing support, where libvirt opens files and passes file descriptors to QEMU. This, along with SELinux policy to prevent QEMU from opening files, can provide image file isolation for NFS files stored on the same NFS mount. This patch series adds the pass-fd QMP monitor command, which allows an fd to be passed via SCM_RIGHTS, and returns the received file descriptor. Support is also added to the block layer to allow QEMU to dup the fd when the filename is of the /dev/fd/X format. This is useful if MAC policy prevents QEMU from opening specific types of files. One nice thing about this approach is that no new SELinux policy is required to prevent open of NFS files (files with type nfs_t). The virt_use_nfs boolean type simply needs to be set to false, and open will be prevented (and dup will be allowed). For example: # setsebool virt_use_nfs 0 # getsebool virt_use_nfs virt_use_nfs --> off Corey Bryant (5): qapi: Convert getfd and closefd qapi: Add pass-fd QMP command osdep: Enable qemu_open to dup pre-opened fd block: Convert open calls to qemu_open block: Prevent /dev/fd/X filename from being detected as floppy block/raw-posix.c | 22 ++++++++++--------- block/raw-win32.c | 4 ++-- block/vdi.c | 5 +++-- block/vmdk.c | 21 ++++++++---------- block/vpc.c | 2 +- block/vvfat.c | 21 +++++++++--------- hmp-commands.hx | 6 ++---- hmp.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++ hmp.h | 2 ++ monitor.c | 61 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- osdep.c | 13 ++++++++++++ qapi-schema.json | 54 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ qmp-commands.hx | 48 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 13 files changed, 216 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.2

[libvirt] [sandbox][PATCH] Add module directory prefix selection feature
by Radu Caragea 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Add module directory prefix selection feature This is useful when running as a non-privileged user if we want to boot a custom compiled kernel: we might not have rights to install in /lib/modules/<kernel release> so when compiling the kernel we can use "make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/path" which installs in /path/lib/modules/<kernel release>. By setting with gvir_sandbox_config_set_moddirprefix(cfg, "/path") we can now achieve just that.

[libvirt] NEED HELP on libvirt guest resource control
by Zhimou Peng 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Hi all, I'm from libvirt Section 3 I'm tracking "guest resource control" test from kvm, and i found kvm support more than libvirt. they support these: https://riddler.bne.redhat.com/IEEE_Test_Plans/en-US/RHEL/6.3/html-single/K… guest blkio bandwidth and blkio throttle limitation, guest memory limitation, migrate guest from one memory to another, guest CPU bandwidth limitation, guest freezing, pin guest to certain host CPU, guest net limitation. I want to know what the current libvirt support status and if libvirt will support all these feature in the future? BR zhpeng

[libvirt] [PATCH] conf: Format numatune XML correctly while placement is none
by Osier Yang 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

setNumaParameters tunes the numa setting using cgroup, it's another entry except libnuma/numad for numa tuning. And it doesn't set the placement, and further more, the formating codes doesn't take this into consideration. How to reproduce: conn = libvirt.open(None) dom = conn.lookupByName('linux') param = {'numa_nodeset': '0', 'numa_mode': 1} dom.setNumaParameters(param, 2) % virsh start linux error: Failed to start domain rhel6.3rc error: (domain_definition):8: error parsing attribute name <memory mode='preferred' </numatune> -------------------------------^ --- By the way, I see problems of setNumaParameters too. conn = libvirt.open(None) dom = conn.lookupByName('linux') param = {'numa_mode': 1} dom.setNumaParameters(param, 2) The numa 'mode' will be just ignored, and no 'numatune' XML is formated, as neither 'nodeset' nor 'placement' is specified. I'd think it's right to ignore it when formating, it's meaningless to only specify the 'mode'. However, we might have to fix setNumaParameters to prevent setting the numa mode without nodeset, and error out, as it's really a bad user experience to see the API call succeeded, but the expected XML doesn't show up in the end. --- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 17 ++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index 81c6308..c44d89d 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -12795,23 +12795,26 @@ virDomainDefFormatInternal(virDomainDefPtr def, const char *placement; mode = virDomainNumatuneMemModeTypeToString(def->numatune.memory.mode); - virBufferAsprintf(buf, " <memory mode='%s' ", mode); + virBufferAsprintf(buf, " <memory mode='%s'", mode); - if (def->numatune.memory.placement_mode == - VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_MEM_PLACEMENT_MODE_STATIC) { + if (def->numatune.memory.nodemask) { nodemask = virDomainCpuSetFormat(def->numatune.memory.nodemask, - VIR_DOMAIN_CPUMASK_LEN); + VIR_DOMAIN_CPUMASK_LEN); if (nodemask == NULL) { virDomainReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", _("failed to format nodeset for " "NUMA memory tuning")); goto cleanup; } - virBufferAsprintf(buf, "nodeset='%s'/>\n", nodemask); + virBufferAsprintf(buf, " nodeset='%s'/>\n", nodemask); VIR_FREE(nodemask); - } else if (def->numatune.memory.placement_mode) { + } else if (def->numatune.memory.placement_mode == + VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_MEM_PLACEMENT_MODE_AUTO) { placement = virDomainNumatuneMemPlacementModeTypeToString(def->numatune.memory.placement_mode); - virBufferAsprintf(buf, "placement='%s'/>\n", placement); + virBufferAsprintf(buf, " placement='%s'/>\n", placement); + } else { + /* Should not hit here. */ + virBufferAddLit(buf, "/>\n"); } virBufferAddLit(buf, " </numatune>\n"); } -- 1.7.7.3
