[libvirt] Release of libvirt-1.0.3
by Daniel Veillard
So that release took a bit longuer to stabilize, but as a result we
hopefully have a good release :-) . It is tagged in git now, so the
freeze is over, and the source tarball and F17 rpms are available at
the usual place at :

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8] Web page updates/changes
by John Ferlan
I was [t]asked to make updates to the api webpage including an example
of a code path from application into the driver. As I started on the task
I found that the api webpage first needed a couple of updates just to fill
in what seems to have been missing information. As I went through the
various pages I realized that the 'better' location for the example code
path seemed to be the internals page and thus I added it there. My simple
example (hah!) was the virConnectOpen code path - I figured for a intro-
duction to the internals web page - it'd be a good place to start.
While I was doing this I used the hellolibvirt example a bit and based on
information found on the 'api' page I added some more calls into the example
to print network and disk information as well as more domain data.
Finally while going through the pages I found a couple of places where
drv pages weren't referenced although they were available, so I updated
those (phyp and parallels).
Hopefully I've figured things out correctly, but I'm sure if I have something
a bit wrong someone will correct me. Making the figure was quite frustrating
as xfig is a bit less forgiving than say office writer.

Then libvirt should also make sure that the XML we allow for non-egd
virtio-rng is restricted to the two filenames that won't cause a qemu
warning, or even modify the XML to not expose a filename in the first
place. We haven't released libvirt 1.0.3 yet, so we still have a few
hours in which such a change could be made before the XML becomes baked
by a release.

When given a CA cert with basic constraints to set non-critical,
and key usage of 'key signing', this should be rejected. Version
of GNUTLS < 3 do not rejecte it though, so we never noticed the
test case was broken

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: fix wrong evaluation in qemuDomainSetMemoryParameters
by Satoru Moriya
19c6ad9a (qemu: Refactor qemuDomainSetMemoryParameters) introduced
a new macro, VIR_GET_LIMIT_PARAMETER(PARAM, VALUE). But if statement
in the macro is not correct and so set_XXXX flags are set to false
in the wrong. As a result, libvirt ignores all memtune parameters.
This patch fixes the conditional expression to work correctly.

[libvirt] [PATCH] util: use string libvirt to prefix error message instead of libvir
by Guannan Ren
BZ:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912021
Without error handler set, virDefaultErrorFunc will be called, the
error message is prefixed with "libvir:". It become a little better
by using prefix "libvirt:" when working with upper application.
For example:
1, stop libvirtd daemon
2, run virt-top.
libvir: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect \
socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': \
No such file or directory
libvirt: VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR: VIR_FROM_RPC: \
Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': \

[libvirt] libvirt does not logout of iscsi targets, causing system hang on shutdown
by Fritz Elfert
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi guys,
There's a quite old bug entry here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700010
I just stumbled over that very issue on F18. Doing a little bit
debugging of the shutdown sequence, it turns out that - at least on my
F18 installation - libvirtd is shutdown *after* iscsid, which makes it
impossible for libvirt to perform the logout of the iscsi session properly.
My local fix (diff) is attached. It simply adds another startup
dependancy on iscsid.service which in turn delays iscsid shutdown until
after libvirtd has stopped. Having that applied, the system shuts down
properly again.
I was asked to post that here for discussion...
So please consider this trivial change for the next update.
Cheers
-Fritz

[libvirt] libvirt-1.0.2 qith lxc and /proc/meminfo
by Thierry Parmentelat
Hello there
I'm using libvirt-1.0.2 to spawn off linux containers
We currently have 2 very similar setups that run on fedora 16 and f18 respectively
And I'm seeing one weird difference concerning /proc/meminfo
While everything is fine on the fedora16 world, on the fedora18 side here is what the container sees
bash-4.2# ls /proc
ls: cannot access /proc/meminfo: Permission denied
1 257 bus devices fb irq kpagecount mdstat net schedstat swaps tty
10 377 cgroups diskstats filesystems kallsyms kpageflags meminfo pagetypeinfo scsi sys uptime
15 522 cmdline dma fs kcore latency_stats misc partitions self sysrq-trigger version
16 542 consoles dri interrupts key-users loadavg modules pidsu slabinfo sysvipc vmallocinfo
18 acpi cpuinfo driver iomem keys locks mounts procprotect softirqs timer_list vmstat
19 buddyinfo crypto execdomains ioports kmsg lxcsu mtrr sched_debug stat timer_stats zoneinfo
bash-4.2# ls -l /proc | grep meminfo
ls: cannot access /proc/meminfo: Permission denied
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? meminfo
bash-4.2# cat /proc/meminfo
cat: /proc/meminfo: Permission denied
=====
we rebuild libvirt-1.0.2 more or less as is modulo a few features that are turned off, our specfile can be found here
http://git.onelab.eu/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=libvirt.spec
the most obvious difference between both builds lies in using fuse:
---
# fuse is used to provide virtualized /proc for LXC
%if 0%{?fedora} >= 17 || 0%{?rhel} >= 7
%define with_fuse 0%{!?_without_fuse:1}
%endif
---
I was wondering what exactly should be the requirements on the root context for running this properly
In particular the fuse rpm was not pulled as part of the libvirt dependencies, which might be an omission ?
Can I expect my problem to go away if I make sure fuse gets installed ?
Otherwise where should I try to look to solve this issue ?
many thanks in advance -- Thierry
