[libvirt] Warnings messages in logs from DHCP snooping code
by Daniel P. Berrange 31 Jan '14

I'm noticing that VMs which have nwfilters associated with them will apparently always cause the following errors to appear in the logs upon VM shutdown: 2013-02-27 17:02:18.709+0000: 9669: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet0" not in key map 2013-02-27 17:02:18.715+0000: 9669: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet0: No such device Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

I should have been more specific. If e.g. an LC_MESSAGE is set that cannot be found it returns "initialization failed" and nothing more...

[libvirt] Add patches to allow users to join running containers.
by dwalsh＠redhat.com 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

[PATCH 1/2] Add virGetUserDirectoryByUID to retrieve users homedir [PATCH 2/2] virt-login-shell joins users into lxc container. This patch implements most of the changes suggested by Dan Berrange and Eric Blake. Some replies to suggested changes. Removed mingw-libvirt.spec.in changes since virt lxc probably can not be supported in Windows. Not sure if I need to make changes so my code will not build on that platform. Did not make the changes to install virt-login-shell as 4755 automatically. I guess I want a more firm, make that change request... I did not make a helper function to parse a list of strings out of conf file. The getuid and getgid calls return the user that executed the program, when the app is setuid geteuid and getegid return "0". I believe getuid and getgid are correct. Added virt-login-shell --help, not sure what --program would do? The program is hard coded to LXC because there is no way that I know of for a ZZ process to join a running qemu instance. I have heard back from one security review from Miloslav Trmac, who had similar comments as Eric.

[libvirt] [PATCHv4 0/5] Handling of undefine and redefine snapshots with VirtualBox 4.2
by Manuel VIVES 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi, This is a serie of patches in order to support undefining and redefining snapshots with VirtualBox 4.2. The serie of patches is rather big, and adds among other things some utility functions unrelated to VirtualBox in patches 1 & 2. The code review could be done in several parts: e.g. patches 1 & 2 separately to validate the utility functions. The VirtualBox API provides only high level operations to manipulate snapshots, so it not possible to support flags like VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY with only API calls. Following an IRC talk with Eric Blake, the decision was taken to emulate these behaviours by manipulating directly the .vbox XML files. The first two patches are some util methods for handling uuid and strings that will be used after. The third patch brings more details in the snapshot XML returned by libvirt. We will need those modifications in order to redefine the snapshots. The fourth patch brings the support of the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CURRENT flags in virDomainSnapshotCreateXML. The fifth and last patch brings the support of the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY flag in virDomainSnapshotDelete. The patches are only tested with Virtualbox 4.2 but the code is compliant with Virtualbox 4.3 API. Regards, Manuel VIVES V4: * The code is compliant with Virtualbox 4.3 API * Some minor modifications in order to satisfy "make syntax-check" V3: * Use of STREQ_NULLABLE instead of STREQ in one case * Fix the method for finding uuids according to Ján Tomko review V2: * Fix a licence problem with the method for string replacement Manuel VIVES (5): viruuid.h/c: Util method for finding uuid patterns in some strings virstring.h/c: Util method for making some find and replace in strings vbox_tmpl.c: Better XML description for snapshots vbox_tmpl.c: Patch for redefining snapshots vbox_tmpl.c: Add methods for undefining snapshots po/POTFILES.in | 1 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 2 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/util/virstring.c | 48 ++ src/util/virstring.h | 2 + src/util/viruuid.c | 81 ++ src/util/viruuid.h | 1 + src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c | 1854 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 8 files changed, 1879 insertions(+), 112 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4

[libvirt] newer libvirt version issues
by Franky Van Liedekerke 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Hi, since we're running more than 20 hosts per KVM server, we needed to update libvirt to at least 1.1.2 for virtlockd to be able to cope with this (due to an old hardcoded limit that was in there before). But where 1.1.0 compiles and runs just fine on a fully-patched CentOS 6.4 server, newer version have all kinds of issues: Every version of libvirt >= 1.1.2 crashes with a segfault on up-to-date CentOS 6.4 servers (see below). Also, versions of libvirt >= 1.1.3 need a change in the spec file to be able to compile: apparently the %doc entries that are different with 1.1.2 prevent rpmbuild to succeed on CentOS servers. Using the %doc lines as per the 1.1.2 spec file results in a working rpmbuild. The 1.1.4 version has issues with a symbol not found after compiling and letting it run: error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_network.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_network.so: undefined symbol: virNetworkList error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_storage.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_storage.so: undefined symbol: virAsprintf error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_nodedev.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_nodedev.so: undefined symbol: virNodeDeviceList 31677: error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_secret.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_secret.so: undefined symbol: virAsprintf 31677: error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_nwfilter.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_nwfilter.so: undefined symbol: virAsprintf 31677: error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_interface.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_interface.so: undefined symbol: virAsprintf 31677: error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so: undefined symbol: networkAllocateActualDevice 31677: error : virDriverLoadModule:78 : failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_lxc.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_lxc.so: undefined symbol: networkAllocateActualDevice And every time libvirt segfaults, there's this in the logs: debug : virJSONValueToString:1133 : result={"id":"libvirt-6","error":{"class":"CommandNotFound","desc":"The command qom-list has not been found","data":{"name":"qom-list"}}} debug : virEventPollRunOnce:627 : EVENT_POLL_RUN: nhandles=32 timeout=1684 9479: debug : qemuMonitorJSONCheckError:341 : unable to execute QEMU command {"execute":"qom-list","arguments":{"path":"/"},"id":"libvirt-6"}: {"id":"libvirt-6","error":{"class":"CommandNotFound","desc":"The command qom-list has not been found","data":{"name":"qom-list"}}} 9479: error : qemuMonitorJSONCheckError:352 : internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'qom-list': The command qom-list has not been found Any insights on any of these issues?

[libvirt] JNA Error Callback could cause core dump.
by Benjamin Wang (gendwang) 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi, When I changed code as following: public class Connect { // Load the native part static { Libvirt.INSTANCE.virInitialize(); try { ErrorHandler.processError(Libvirt.INSTANCE); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } + Libvirt.INSTANCE.virSetErrorFunc(null, new ErrorCallback()); } The server will generate the following core dump: Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted. #0 0x0000003f9b030265 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0x0000003f9b030265 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0000003f9b031d10 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x0000003f9b06a84b in __libc_message () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #3 0x0000003f9b07230f in _int_free () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #4 0x0000003f9b07276b in free () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #5 0x00002aaaacf46868 in ?? () #6 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () The problem was caused that when JNA call setErrorFunc, it will create ErrorCallback object. But when GC is executed, the object is GCed. But even I change code as following. When GC is excuted, the callback object will be moved. Then C can't find this object. Both of scenarios will cause core dump. It seems that JNA mustn't provide ErrorCallback Class, Because nobody can use this. Please correct me. public class Connect { + private static final ErrorCallback callback = new ErrorCallback(); // Load the native part static { Libvirt.INSTANCE.virInitialize(); try { ErrorHandler.processError(Libvirt.INSTANCE); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } + Libvirt.INSTANCE.virSetErrorFunc(null, callback); } B.R.

[libvirt] [PATCHv5 0/4] Introduce APIs to extract DHCP leases info
by Nehal J Wani 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

This API returns the leases information stored in the DHCP leases file of dnsmasq for a given virtual network. It contacts the bridge network driver, which parses a custom leases file created by libvirt. It supports two methods: 1. Return info for all network interfaces connected to a given virtual network 2. Return information for a particular network interface in a given virtual network by providing its MAC Address v5 Created a helper file to generate custom leases for libvirt. Since dnsmasq doesn't provide the MAC Address in case of DHCPv6, the need for this file was proposed. The design of virNetworkDHCPLeases struct has been updated and the previous use of union has been removed. OOM errors have been taken care of in the remote driver and remote daemon. Discussion on struct design: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-October/msg00326.html Discussion on helper file: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-October/msg00989.html v4 * Added support for DHCPv6, updated lease file parsing method Refer: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg01554.html v3 * Mostly small nits, change in MACRO names, use of virSocketAddrGetIpPrefix to retrieve IP prefix from @dom XML. Refer: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00832.html v2 * Since DHCPv6 is supposed to be suported in future, virNetworkGetDHCPLeasesForMAC changed, prefix and virIPAddrType added in virNetworkDHCPLeases struct.
