[libvirt] virsh auto completion
by Michal Privoznik 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Going over my local git branches, I found old patch set which I was trying to get in once. Along guest IP address patches I feel like this one is desired as well and keeps returning to us from time to time. What I think this feature should look like: virsh # sta<TAB> expands to: virsh # start Now, hitting <TAB> again (okay, several times actually) gives us a list of supported options: --autodestroy --bypass-cache --console --force-boot --paused virsh # start -- Up to here, it's just current implementation. What I'd like to see is list of (ideally shut off) domains: --autodestroy --bypass-cache --console --force-boot --paused f17 f18 <...> virsh # start -- The same applies to complete a single option as well. That is not (only) command based completer, but a option based one. IIRC, that was conclusion on my first approach as well. What I've come up with so far is: diff --git a/tools/virsh.h b/tools/virsh.h index ab7161f..c7cdb3a 100644 --- a/tools/virsh.h +++ b/tools/virsh.h @@ -146,6 +146,8 @@ typedef struct _vshCmdOptDef vshCmdOptDef; typedef struct _vshControl vshControl; typedef struct _vshCtrlData vshCtrlData; +typedef char ** (*vshCmdOptCompleter) + (const vshCmdDef *cmd, const char *optname, void *opaque); /* * vshCmdInfo -- name/value pair for information about command * @@ -162,11 +164,13 @@ struct _vshCmdInfo { * vshCmdOptDef - command option definition */ struct _vshCmdOptDef { - const char *name; /* the name of option, or NULL for list end */ - vshCmdOptType type; /* option type */ - unsigned int flags; /* flags */ - const char *help; /* non-NULL help string; or for VSH_OT_ALIAS - * the name of a later public option */ + const char *name; /* the name of option, or NULL for list end */ + vshCmdOptType type; /* option type */ + unsigned int flags; /* flags */ + vshCmdOptCompleter completer; /* option arguments completer */ + void *opaque; /* value to pass to @completer */ + const char *help; /* non-NULL help string; or for VSH_OT_ALIAS + * the name of a later public option */ }; One of the biggest problem with this is - I'd have to change all of option definitions (add 'NULL, NULL, ' to all of them). Apart from huge impact, we still want command based completer, otherwise we would only complete: f17 f18 <...> virsh # start --domain <TAB> Who's really typing '--domain'? The idea is to make users life easier, not harder. My aim to write this e-mail is: 1) let you know somebody is working on this 2) get your thoughts and opinions. Michal

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Relax hard RSS limit
by Michal Privoznik 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Currently, if there's no hard memory limit defined for a domain, libvirt tries to calculate one, based on domain definition and magic equation and set it upon the domain startup. The rationale behind was, if there's a memory leak or exploit in qemu, we should prevent the host system trashing. However, the equation was too tightening, as it didn't reflect what the kernel counts into the memory used by a process. Since many hosts do have a swap, nobody hasn't noticed anything, because if hard memory limit is reached, process can continue allocating memory on a swap. However, if there is no swap on the host, the process gets killed by OOM killer. In our case, the qemu process it is. To prevent this, we need to relax the hard RSS limit. Moreover, we should reflect more precisely the kernel way of accounting the memory for process. That is, even the kernel caches are counted within the memory used by a process (within cgroups at least). Hence the magic equation has to be changed: limit = 1.5 * (domain memory + total video memory) + (32MB for cache per each disk) + 200MB --- There is a bit more that should be taken into account, e.g. shared pages, where accounting is even more complicated: "Shared pages are accounted on the basis of the first touch approach. The cgroup that first touches a page is accounted for the page." [1] I don't we even want to try to reflect this in our code. That's why the coefficient of domain memory has been lifted from 1.02 to 1.5, in hope it will just be enough. 1: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 15 +++++++++------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c b/src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c index 7faf025..16a9d7c 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c @@ -343,15 +343,18 @@ int qemuSetupCgroup(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, unsigned long long hard_limit = vm->def->mem.hard_limit; if (!hard_limit) { - /* If there is no hard_limit set, set a reasonable - * one to avoid system trashing caused by exploited qemu. - * As 'reasonable limit' has been chosen: - * (1 + k) * (domain memory + total video memory) + F - * where k = 0.02 and F = 200MB. */ + /* If there is no hard_limit set, set a reasonable one to avoid + * system trashing caused by exploited qemu.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 00/11] Rework storage migration
by Michal Privoznik 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

This patch set re-implements migration with storage for enough new qemu. Currently, you can migrate a domain to a host without need for shared storage. This is done by setting 'blk' or 'inc' attribute (representing VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK and VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC flags respectively) of 'migrate' monitor command. However, the qemu implementation is buggy and applications are advised to switch to new impementation which, moreover, offers some nice features, like migrating only explicitly specified disks. The new functionality is controlled via 'nbd-server-*' and 'drive-mirror' commands. The flow is meant to look like this: 1) User invokes libvirt's migrate functionality. 2) libvirt checks that no block jobs are active on the source. 3) libvirt starts the destination QEMU and sets up the NBD server using the nbd-server-start and nbd-server-add commands. 4) libvirt starts drive-mirror with a destination pointing to the remote NBD server, for example nbd:host:port:exportname=diskname (where diskname is the -drive id specified on the destination). 5) once all mirroring jobs reach steady state, libvirt invokes the migrate command. 6) once migration completed, libvirt invokes the nbd-server-stop command on the destination QEMU. If we just skip the 2nd step and there is an active block-job, qemu will fail in step 4. No big deal. Since we try to NOT break migration and keep things compatible, this feature is enabled iff both sides support it. Since there's obvious need for some data transfer between src and dst, I've put it into qemuCookieMigration: 1) src -> dest: (QEMU_MIGRATION_PHASE_BEGIN3 -> QEMU_MIGRATION_PHASE_PREPARE) <nbd> <disk size='17179869184'/> </nbd> Hey destination, I know how to use this cool new feature. Moreover, these are the disks I'll send you. Each one of them is X bytes big. It's one of the prerequisite - the file (disk->src) on dst exists and has at least the same size as on dst. 2) dst -> src: (QEMU_MIGRATION_PHASE_PREPARE -> QEMU_MIGRATION_PHASE_PERFORM3) <nbd port='X'/> Okay, I (destination) support this feature as well. I've created all files as you (src) told me to and you can start rolling data. I am listening on port X. 3) src -> dst: (QEMU_MIGRATION_PHASE_PERFORM3 -> QEMU_MIGRATION_PHASE_FINISH3) <nbd port='-1'/> Migration completed, destination, you may shut the NBD server down. If either src or dst doesn't support NBD, it is not used and whole process fall backs to old implementation. diff to v1: -Eric's and Daniel's suggestions worked in. To point out the bigger ones: don't do NBD style when TUNNELLED requested, added 'b:writable' to 'nbd-server-add' -drop '/qemu-migration/nbd/disk/@src' attribute from migration cookie. As pointed out by Jirka, disk->src can be changed during migration (e.g. by migration hook or by passed xml). So I've tried (as suggested on the list) passing disk alias. However, since qemu hasn't been started on destination yet, the aliases hasn't been generated yet. So we have to rely on ordering completely. The patches 1,3 and 5 has been ACKed already.

[libvirt] [PATCH RESEND] build: libvirt-guests files misplaced in specfile
by Viktor Mihajlovski 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

In a non-systemd environment the post and preun scripts of libvirt-client fail, since the required files are in libvirt-daemon. Moved them to client. Doing that I noticed %{_unitdir}/libvirt-guests.service was contained in both libvirt-client and libvirt-daemon, which I don't think was intended. Removed the extra copy from daemon.

[libvirt] [PATCH] maint: avoid potential promotion issues with [ug]id_t
by Eric Blake 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

POSIX does not guarantee whether uid_t and gid_t are signed or unsigned, nor does it guarantee whether they are smaller, same size, or larger than int (or even the same size as one another). Therefore, it is possible to have platforms where '(uid_t)-1==-1' is false or where 'uid = gid = -1' sets uid to the wrong value, thanks to integer promotion rules. The only portable way to use the placeholder value of these two types is to always use a cast. Thankfully, the issue is mostly theoretical - sanlock only compiles on Linux for now, and on Linux, these types do not suffer from strange promotion problems. * src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c (virLockManagerSanlockSetupLockspace, virLockManagerSanlockInit) (virLockManagerSanlockCreateLease): Cast -1 to proper type before comparing with uid_t or gid_t. --- src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c | 17 +++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c b/src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c index c955003..d06fa66 100644 --- a/src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c +++ b/src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * lock_driver_sanlock.c: A lock driver for Sanlock * - * Copyright (C) 2010-2012 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2010-2013 Red Hat, Inc. * * This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public @@ -236,7 +236,7 @@ static int virLockManagerSanlockSetupLockspace(void) goto error; } - if (driver->group != -1) + if (driver->group != (gid_t) -1) perms |= 0060; if ((fd = open(path, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, perms)) < 0) { @@ -249,7 +249,7 @@ static int virLockManagerSanlockSetupLockspace(void) VIR_DEBUG("Someone else just created lockspace %s", path); } else { /* chown() the path to make sure sanlock can access it */ - if ((driver->user != -1 || driver->group != -1) && + if ((driver->user != (uid_t) -1 || driver->group != (gid_t) -1) && (fchown(fd, driver->user, driver->group) < 0)) { virReportSystemError(errno, _("cannot chown '%s' to (%u, %u)"), @@ -303,8 +303,8 @@ static int virLockManagerSanlockSetupLockspace(void) } } else if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode)) { /* okay, the lease file exists.
