[libvirt] [PATCH 0/9] Add throttle blkio cgroup support for libvirt
by Gao feng 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Right now, libvirt only supports the cfq based blkio cgorup, this means if the block devices doesn't use cfq scheduler, the blkio cgroup will loss effect. This patchset adds the throttle blkio cgroup support for libvirt, intoduces four elements for domain configuration and extend the virsh command blkiotune. This patchset is a new version of Guan Qiang's patchset ://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-October/msg01066.html Change form Guan Qiang's patchset: 1, split to 8 patches, make logic more clear 2, change the type of read/write iops form unsigned long long to unsigned int, trying to set read/write iops to the value which bigger than max number of unsigned int will fail. 3, fix some logic shortage. Gao feng (9): rename virDomainBlkioDeviceWeightParseXML to virDomainBlkioDeviceParseXML rename virBlkioDeviceWeightArrayClear to virBlkioDeviceArrayClear rename virBlkioDeviceWeightPtr to virBlkioDevicePtr domain: introduce xml elements for throttle blkio cgroup blkio: Setting throttle blkio cgroup for domain qemu: allow to setup throttle blkio cgroup through virsh virsh: add virsh manual for setting throttle blkio cgroup lxc: allow to setup throttle blkio cgroup through virsh qemu: add new throttle blkio cgroup elements to the test xml docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 28 +- include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 45 ++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 113 +++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 16 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 5 +- src/lxc/lxc_cgroup.c | 12 +- src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 649 ++++++++++++++++++++- src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 13 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 432 ++++++++++++-- src/util/vircgroup.c | 170 +++++- src/util/vircgroup.h | 18 + .../qemuxml2argv-blkiotune-device.xml | 8 + tools/virsh-domain.c | 64 ++ tools/virsh.pod | 36 +- 14 files changed, 1485 insertions(+), 124 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/6] Support keyboard device
by Li Zhang 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

From: Li Zhang <zhlcindy(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> This patchset is to add keyboard input device. For PPC64, it doesn't support a default keyboard device when the graphic is enabled. Libvirt supports QEMU command line as "-device VGA" which won't create any keyboard device for it. So it requires libvirt to add a default USB keyboard device for it. This patchset is to add keyboard input device and a default USB keyboard for PPC64. The related discussion in QEMU community: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-11/msg01734.html Li Zhang (6): conf: Add a keyboard input device type conf: Add one interface to add input devices.

Add a default USB keyboard for PPC64 v3 -> v2: * Handle the KBD device type in xen and QEMU driver.

[libvirt] [PATCH] storage: fix omitted slash in gluster volume URI
by Eric Blake 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

When doing 'virsh vol-dumpxml' on a gluster pool's volume, the resulting URI incorrectly omitted a slash between hostname and path: gluster://192.168.122.206rhsvol1/fedora-19.img This is fallout from me rebasing earlier versions of my patch, I had originally played with always requiring the gluster volume to have a leading slash, but it was easier to use the gluster API if the gluster volume name was guaranteed to have no slash; while I got the URI of the pool correct, I forgot to fix the URI of a libvirt volume. * src/storage/storage_backend_gluster.c (virStorageBackendGlusterRefreshVol): Use correct starting point since uri construction requires leading slash.

[libvirt] Timing proposal for the next couple of releases
by Daniel Veillard 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

In general December is a month with low productivity, especially over the end of the month, as a result doing a freeze at that time may not be very efficient. Also I will be rather busy around end of January with travels and FOSDEM it's also the chinese new year, then February is a short month. My suggestion would be to rather plan 2 releases in 3 months, i.e. one around the 15th January with a freeze around Jan 8th, and then a release at the end of February with a freeze around 21st Feb. After that we are back to monthly end of month usual schedule. Does that sounds okay with everybody ?

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu_process: Read errors from child
by Michal Privoznik 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035955 There's a window when starting a qemu process between fork() and exec() during which we are doing things that may fail but not tunnelling the error to the daemon. This is basically all within qemuProcessHook(). So whenever we fail in something, e.g. placing a process onto numa node, users ale left with: error: Child quit during startup handshake: Input/output error while the original error is thrown into the domain log: libvirt: error : internal error: NUMA memory tuning in 'preferred' mode only supports single node Hence, we should read the log file and search for the error message and report it to users.

[libvirt] [libvirt-glib 0/4] Add symbol files checks to make check
by Christophe Fergeau 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hey, This series is based of the libosinfo work danpb did recently to reuse libvirt scripts to validate the symbol files. These make sure the exported symbols match what is listed in the sym file, and that these files are alphabetically ordered. This caught 2 minor errors in the sym files we currently ship.
