[libvirt] RFC: virsh: add support for redirecting output to files in virsh shell
by Nehal J Wani 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Currently, for redirecting output (most of the times its the output of --dumpxml) we use: virsh $command > $file But such redirection is not possible in virsh shell. It would be great if libvirt supported this feature for those who love working in the 'virsh shell' (instead of typing 'virsh' before every command). A simple approach would be to either add the redirection feature using '>' or having some option like -o or --outfile (it would be nice if it is available for each command, and not just restricted to --dumpxml ones) Regards, Nehal J Wani

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: default to vfio for nodedev-detach
by Laine Stump 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

This patch resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035188 Commit f094aaac48a6 changed the PCI device assignment in qemu domains to default to using VFIO rather than legacy KVM device assignment (when VFIO is available). It didn't change which driver was used by default for virNodeDeviceDetachFlags(), though, so that API (and the virsh nodedev-detach command) was still binding to the pci-stub driver, used by legacy KVM assignment, by default. This patch publicizes (only within the qemu module, though, so no additions to the symbol exports are needed) the functions that check for presence of KVM and VFIO device assignment, then uses those functions to decide what to do when no driver is specified for virNodeDeviceDetachFlags(); if the vfio driver is loaded, the device will be bound to vfio-pci, or if legacy KVM assignment is supported on this system, the device will be bound to pci-stub; if neither method is avialable, the detach will fail. --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 19 ++++++++++++++++--- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c | 6 +++--- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h | 4 +++- 3 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 47d8a09..6e65d7c 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -10737,12 +10737,25 @@ qemuNodeDeviceDetachFlags(virNodeDevicePtr dev, if (!pci) goto cleanup; - if (!driverName || STREQ(driverName, "kvm")) { - if (virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver(pci, "pci-stub") < 0) - goto cleanup; + if (!driverName) { + /* prefer vfio */ + if (qemuHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughVFIO()) + driverName = "vfio"; + else if (qemuHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughLegacy()) + driverName = "kvm"; + } + + if (!driverName) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, "%s", + _("neither VFIO nor kvm device assignment is " + "currently supported on this system")); + goto cleanup; } else if (STREQ(driverName, "vfio")) { if (virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver(pci, "vfio-pci") < 0) goto cleanup; + } else if (STREQ(driverName, "kvm")) { + if (virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver(pci, "pci-stub") < 0) + goto cleanup; } else { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, _("unknown driver name '%s'"), driverName); diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c b/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c index f5cad15..dee61e7 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c @@ -501,7 +501,7 @@ qemuDomainHostdevNetConfigRestore(virDomainHostdevDefPtr hostdev, } -static bool +bool qemuHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughVFIO(void) { DIR *iommuDir = NULL; @@ -541,7 +541,7 @@ cleanup: #if HAVE_LINUX_KVM_H # include <linux/kvm.h> -static bool +bool qemuHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughLegacy(void) { int kvmfd = -1; @@ -563,7 +563,7 @@ cleanup: return ret; } #else -static bool +bool qemuHostdevHostSupportsPassthroughLegacy(void) { return false; diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h b/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h index 272086e..ffb3167 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * qemu_hostdev.h: QEMU hostdev management * - * Copyright (C) 2006-2007, 2009-2010 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2006-2007, 2009-2013 Red Hat, Inc. * Copyright (C) 2006 Daniel P.

[libvirt] clone "img" on iscsi storage
by Jason 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hi: I need to clone a vm, the source is "vm1.img",i need to clone the "vm1.img" to a iscsi storage volume, it's said that i can't create volume on a iscsi. I use virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom to do this, can you do me a favor? thank you. the virt-manager can clone the "vm1.img" to overwrite the iscsi "lun",what can i do to do the same thing, i do not understand the python.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] vbox: fix incorrect loop condition in vboxHostDeviceGetXMLDesc
by Ryota Ozaki 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

The fixed loop used logical OR to combine two conditions, however, it is apparently incorrect and logical AND is correct. We can fix it by replacing OR with AND, but this patch instead fixes the problem by getting rid of the first conditional statement: USBFilterCount < def->nhostdevs. It isn't needed because USBFilterCount will never be greater than or equal to def->nhostdevs. def->nhostdevs is calculated in the following code above the loop in question like this: for (i = 0; i < deviceFilters.count; i++) { PRBool active = PR_FALSE; IUSBDeviceFilter *deviceFilter = deviceFilters.items[i]; deviceFilter->vtbl->GetActive(deviceFilter, &active); if (active) { def->nhostdevs++; } } And the loop is constructed as like this: for (i = 0; (USBFilterCount < def->nhostdevs) || (i < deviceFilters.count); i++) { PRBool active = PR_FALSE; (snip) deviceFilter->vtbl->GetActive(deviceFilter, &active); if (!active) continue; (snip) USBFilterCount++; } So def->nhostdevs is the number of active device filters and USBFilterCount is counted up only when a device filter is active. Thus, we can remove USBFilterCount < def->nhostdevs safely.

[libvirt] Release of libvirt-1.2.0
by Daniel Veillard 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Technically this is also the first release of libvirt-python as this is the major change leading to the bump in middle version number. The libvirt tarballs and rpms are available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ while libvirt-python-1.2.0 tarball and rpms are in the new location: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirts of course both git trees are now tagged and development can resume.

While running nwfilterxml2xmltest, it was found that valgrind pointed out the following error... ==7466== 16 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 26 of 90 ==7466== at 0x4A06B6F: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:593) ==7466== by 0x4C651AD: virAlloc (viralloc.c:142) ==7466== by 0x4D0450D: virNWFilterDefParseNode (nwfilter_conf.c:2575) ==7466== by 0x4D05D84: virNWFilterDefParse (nwfilter_conf.c:2647) ==7466== by 0x401FDE: testCompareXMLToXMLHelper (nwfilterxml2xmltest.c:39) ==7466== by 0x402DE1: virtTestRun (testutils.c:138) ==7466== by 0x4018E9: mymain (nwfilterxml2xmltest.c:111) ==7466== by 0x403482: virtTestMain (testutils.c:593) ==7466== by 0x341F421A04: (below main) (libc-start.c:225) ...21 times, which are related to 21 tests in nwfilterxml2xmltest.c which sent EXPECT_WARN = false. There were two scenarios in virNWFilterDefParseXML(), when the variable 'entry' was malloc'ed, but not freed. --- src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c b/src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c index 793cb0e..d280df5 100644 --- a/src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c @@ -2576,21 +2576,25 @@ virNWFilterDefParseXML(xmlXPathContextPtr ctxt) { goto cleanup; if (xmlStrEqual(curr->name, BAD_CAST "rule")) { - if (!(entry->rule = virNWFilterRuleParse(curr))) + if (!(entry->rule = virNWFilterRuleParse(curr))) { + virNWFilterEntryFree(entry); goto cleanup; + } } else if (xmlStrEqual(curr->name, BAD_CAST "filterref")) { - if (!(entry->include = virNWFilterIncludeParse(curr))) + if (!(entry->include = virNWFilterIncludeParse(curr))) { + virNWFilterEntryFree(entry); goto cleanup; + } } if (entry->rule || entry->include) { if (VIR_REALLOC_N(ret->filterEntries, ret->nentries+1) < 0) { - VIR_FREE(entry); + virNWFilterEntryFree(entry); goto cleanup; } ret->filterEntries[ret->nentries++] = entry; } else - VIR_FREE(entry); + virNWFilterEntryFree(entry); } curr = curr->next; } -- 1.8.1.4
