[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/2]impl separite module for hostdev passthrough
by Chunyan Liu 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

This patch series include two patches: 1/2 is the implementation of the hostdev passthrough common library. To meet two purposes: a. move qemu hostdev APIs to common library so that it could be used by all hypervisor drivers. b. maintain a global hostdev in-use state. 2/2 is the implementation of pci passthrough to libxl driver. Using common library APIs to implement pci passthrough for libxl driver. (Changes to qemu/lxc driver are not included yet. That could be done after common library is confirmed.) Changes to v1: 1/2: * add scsi part to common library * instead of hardcode, check for <driver name='kvm/vfio/xen'/> setting, call virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver to set stub driver. For libxl driver, a <driver name='xen' /> is needed. * rebase to current libvirt changes 2/2: * Add device-attach/detach a pci hostdev implementataion to libxl driver Chunyan Liu (2): add hostdev passthrough common library add pci passthrough impl to libxl po/POTFILES.in | 1 + src/Makefile.am | 1 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 3 +- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/libvirt.c | 5 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 22 +- src/libxl/libxl_conf.c | 106 +++ src/libxl/libxl_conf.h | 3 +- src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 250 +++++++- src/util/virhostdevmanager.c | 1486 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virhostdevmanager.h | 109 +++ src/util/virpci.c | 17 +- src/util/virpci.h | 7 +- src/util/virscsi.c | 18 +- src/util/virscsi.h | 4 +- src/util/virusb.c | 19 +- src/util/virusb.h | 4 +- 17 files changed, 2026 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/util/virhostdevmanager.c create mode 100644 src/util/virhostdevmanager.h

[libvirt] Can we allow users in 'qemu' group to skip polkit auth?
by Cole Robinson 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

There's a bug report filed against Fedora libvirt requesting a polkit rule be installed that grants read/write libvirt access to all users in the 'qemu' group: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=957300 I'm inclined to agree with the reporter, and time has shown that many users install custom polkit rules to grant their user passwordless access to libvirt so this would definitely fill a need. I'm sure there's plenty to consider here since we are talking about security. Thoughts? Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] Disabling bootmenu causes boot to skip over cdrom
by Keno Fischer 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Hello, I have domain with the following setup: - 1 VirtIO Disk - 1 VirtIO CDROM - 2 IDE CDROMs Now, depending on whether or not I have the bootmenu flag enabled, the boot sequence skips over booting from CDROM entirely (it does work if the bootmenu is enabled). This started happening after I added the VirtIO CDROM. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Keno Fischer
