[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix python error reporting for some storage operations
by Cole Robinson 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In the python bindings, all vir* classes expect to be passed a virConnect object when instantiated. Before the storage stuff, these classes were only instantiated in virConnect methods, so the generator is hardcoded to pass 'self' as the connection instance to these classes. Problem is there are some methods that return pool or vol instances which aren't called from virConnect: you can lookup a storage volume's associated pool, and can lookup volumes from a pool. In these cases passing 'self' doesn't give the vir* instance a connection, so when it comes time to raise an exception crap hits the fan. Rather than rework the generator to accomodate this edge case, I just fixed the init functions for virStorage* to pull the associated connection out of the passed value if it's not a virConnect instance. Thanks, Cole diff --git a/python/generator.py b/python/generator.py index 01a17da..c706b19 100755 --- a/python/generator.py +++ b/python/generator.py @@ -962,8 +962,12 @@ def buildWrappers(): list = reference_keepers[classname] for ref in list: classes.write(" self.%s = None\n" % ref[1]) - if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork", "virStoragePool", "virStorageVol" ]: + if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork" ]: classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n") + elif classname in [ "virStorageVol", "virStoragePool" ]: + classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n" + \ + " if not isinstance(conn, virConnect):\n" + \ + " self._conn = conn._conn\n") classes.write(" if _obj != None:self._o = _obj;return\n") classes.write(" self._o = None\n\n"); destruct=None

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Disclaimer: I am neither an SR-IOV nor a vhost-net expert, but I've CC'd people that are who can throw tomatoes at me for getting bits wrong :-) I wanted to start a discussion about supporting vhost-net in libvirt. vhost-net has not yet been merged into qemu but I expect it will be soon so it's a good time to start this discussion. There are two modes worth supporting for vhost-net in libvirt. The first mode is where vhost-net backs to a tun/tap device. This is behaves in very much the same way that -net tap behaves in qemu today. Basically, the difference is that the virtio backend is in the kernel instead of in qemu so there should be some performance improvement. Current, libvirt invokes qemu with -net tap,fd=X where X is an already open fd to a tun/tap device. I suspect that after we merge vhost-net, libvirt could support vhost-net in this mode by just doing -net vhost,fd=X. I think the only real question for libvirt is whether to provide a user visible switch to use vhost or to just always use vhost when it's available and it makes sense. Personally, I think the later makes sense. The more interesting invocation of vhost-net though is one where the vhost-net device backs directly to a physical network card. In this mode, vhost should get considerably better performance than the current implementation. I don't know the syntax yet, but I think it's reasonable to assume that it will look something like -net tap,dev=eth0. The effect will be that eth0 is dedicated to the guest. On most modern systems, there is a small number of network devices so this model is not all that useful except when dealing with SR-IOV adapters. In that case, each physical device can be exposed as many virtual devices (VFs). There are a few restrictions here though. The biggest is that currently, you can only change the number of VFs by reloading a kernel module so it's really a parameter that must be set at startup time. I think there are a few ways libvirt could support vhost-net in this second mode. The simplest would be to introduce a new tag similar to <source network='br0'>. In fact, if you probed the device type for the network parameter, you could probably do something like <source network='eth0'> and have it Just Work. Another model would be to have libvirt see an SR-IOV adapter as a network pool whereas it handled all of the VF management. Considering how inflexible SR-IOV is today, I'm not sure whether this is the best model. Has anyone put any more thought into this problem or how this should be modeled in libvirt? Michael, could you share your current thinking for -net syntax? -- Regards, Anthony Liguori

[libvirt] [libvirt-python PATCH] setup: Make libvirt API XML path configurable
by Martin Kletzander 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Adding a support for LIBVIRT_API_PATH evironment variable, which can control where the script should look for the 'libvirt-api.xml' file. This allows building libvirt-python against different libvirt than the one installed in the system. This may be used for example in autotest or by packagers without the need to install libvirt into the system.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Fix seamless SPICE migration
by Martin Kletzander 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Since the wait is done during migration (still inside QEMU_ASYNC_JOB_MIGRATION_OUT), the code should enter the monitor as such in order to prohibit all other jobs from interfering in the meantime. This patch fixes bug #1009886 in which qemuDomainGetBlockInfo was waiting on the monitor condition and after GetSpiceMigrationStatus mangled its internal data, the daemon crashed.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Expose FSFreeze/FSThaw within the guest as commands
by Tomoki Sekiyama 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Currently FSFreeze and FSThaw are supported by qemu guest agent and they are used internally in snapshot-create command with --quiesce option. However, when users want to utilize the native snapshot feature of storage devices (such as LVM over iSCSI, various enterprise storage systems, etc.), they need to issue fsfreeze command separately from libvirt-driven snapshots. (OpenStack cinder provides these storages' snapshot feature, but it cannot quiesce the guest filesystems automatically for now.) Although virDomainQemuGuestAgent() API could be used for this purpose, it depends too much on specific hypervisor implementation. This patchset adds virDomainFSFreeze()/virDomainFSThaw() APIs and virsh domfsfreeze/domfsthaw commands to enable the users to freeze and thaw domain's filesystems cleanly. The APIs has mountPoint and flags option currently unsupported for future extension, as virDomainFSTrim() API. Duplicated FSFreeze results in error caused by qemu guest agent. --- Tomoki Sekiyama (4): Introduce virDomainFSFreeze() public API remote: Implement virDomainFSFreeze and virDomainFSThaw qemu: Implement virDomainFSFreeze virsh: Expose new virDomainFSFreeze and virDomainFSThaw API include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 8 ++ src/access/viraccessperm.c | 2 - src/access/viraccessperm.h | 6 ++ src/driver.h | 12 ++++ src/libvirt.c | 92 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_public.syms | 6 ++ src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 142 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_driver.c | 2 + src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 26 +++++++- src/remote_protocol-structs | 12 ++++ src/rpc/gendispatch.pl | 2 + tools/virsh-domain.c | 108 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/virsh.pod | 17 +++++ 13 files changed, 433 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
