17 May '13

Hello, I'm developer of CC1 project in Institute of Nuclear Physics in Cracow. We are creating cloud computing system based on Libvirt. Is it possible to add link to our project at yours website in applications section? Title: CC1 Project (http://cc1.ifj.edu.pl) Description: The Cloud Computing for Science and Economy project At this time we are using version 0.8.3, but as soon as debian 7 will we stable, we are going to migrate to newer version of Libvirt. Regards, Maciej Nabożny

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Fix issues with guest lifecycle event action settings
by John Ferlan 15 May '13

15 May '13

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916052 Domain lifecycle events "on_reboot" and "on_poweroff" translate into QEMU command options "no-reboot" and "no-shutdown" at startup time. The existing code only checked the "on_reboot" setting to determine whether to add the "no-reboot" option even though "on_poweroff" could have been set to allow reboot. Changed the logic to only use "no-reboot" if each of the lifecycle event actions was "destroy". I considered adding "preserve" as well; however, a future preserve action might be able to cull something from a qemu process that doesn't just exit immediately. NB, previously it was possible to have both QEMU command options on the command line, which while not tagged as an error could be considered "odd". During the shutdown or reboot domain operations, the calls to qemuAgentShutdown and qemuDomainSetFakeReboot did not consider the possibility that the event action for shutdown was reboot or the event action for reboot was destroy. This patch fixes that. NB, I wasn't sure how I could "convey" that to the user though. The virsh reboot will still issue the message "Domain is being rebooted" even though it could be destroyed. Like was virsh shutdown will still issue the message "Domain is being shutdown" even though it is being rebooted. The usage of VIR_INFO was an attempt to do that even though one would have to have the correct debug level set. Adjusted the documentation in order to describe the possible actions based on the event lifecycle action settings of the domain.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] prepare for qemu 1.5 command-line probing via QMP
by Eric Blake 13 May '13

13 May '13

This series sets up the groundwork to make it easy to add a capability bit in qemu_capabilities based on whether a particular qemu command-line option has a given parameter. Future patches, such as Osier's work to use '-machine mem-merge' when it exists, will benefit from this new probing ability. Since this missed rc1 freeze, I'm a bit reluctant to include it in libvirt 1.0.5 without a client that actually needs it. Hmm, in writing up this cover letter, I think I should work on a patch 5/4 that enhances qemu_capabilities to make it easy to search for a given option and capability whether parsing -help output (hello RHEL qemu) or using QMP (upstream).

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Extra validation for the <sysinfo> section

13 May '13

Not necessary for 1.0.5, but figured I'd put it out there now. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890494 The <sysinfo> section needs an extra uuid validation check. The current check compares the numerical sysinfo/system_uuid with the domain uuid; however, it's possible that someone added extra hyphens into the sysinfo uuid which results in the inability to start the domain (at least qemu). The bug report indicates the 'date' field should at least be syntax checked based on what's desribed in the SMBIOS spec. From the spec: "String number of the BIOS release date. The date string, if supplied, is in either mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy format. If the year portion of the string is two digits, the year is assumed to be 19yy. NOTE: The mm/dd/yyyy format is required for SMBIOS version 2.3 and later" John Ferlan (4): docs: Fix syntax in sysinfo description docs: Update description of SMBIOS fields Validate the bios_date format for <sysinfo> Need better validation of <sysinfo> uuid docs/formatdomain.html.in | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 85 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 1.8.1.4

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/2] Support for VNC WebSocket
by Martin Kletzander 13 May '13

13 May '13

This series, which is meant to be applied _after_ 1.0.5 release, is adding support for the VNC WebSocket to be configured for QEMU. Documentation from qemu_options.hx: qemu -vnc ...,websocket[=<port>] Opens an additional TCP listening port dedicated to VNC Websocket connections. By definition the Websocket port is 5700+@var{display}. If @var{host} is specified connections will only be allowed from this host. As an alternative the Websocket port could be specified by using @code{websocket}=@var{port}. v2: - Incorporated recommendations from RFC [1] [1] http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-April/msg02056.html Martin Kletzander (2): Add VNC WebSocket support qemu: Add VNC WebSocket support docs/formatdomain.html.in | 5 ++++ docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 5 ++++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 16 ++++++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug | 2 ++ src/qemu/qemu.conf | 7 +++++ src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 11 +++++-- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 5 +++- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 6 ++++ src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 5 ++++ src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++---- src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 2 ++ tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c | 1 + tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 1 + tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c | 1 + 18 files changed, 180 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 1.8.2.1

[libvirt] LXC: user namespaces
by Richard RW. Weinberger 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi! We'd like to use libvirt for managing our lxc machines. Currently libvirt lacks of user namespace support. Is anyone working on that? Otherwise David and I will implement it and send patches very soon. Thanks, //richard
