[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Support for integrating cgroups with systemd
by Daniel P. Berrange 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com> This is a much changed / expanded version of my previous work to create cgroups via systemd. The difference is that this time it actually works :-) I'm not proposing this for merge until after the 1.1.1 release. Daniel P. Berrange (4): Add APIs for formatting systemd slice/scope names Add support for systemd cgroup mount Cope with races while killing processes Enable support for systemd-machined in cgroups creation src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 10 +- src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 1 + src/util/vircgroup.c | 270 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/util/vircgroup.h | 2 + src/util/virsystemd.c | 96 ++++++++++++++++- src/util/virsystemd.h | 5 + tests/vircgrouptest.c | 9 ++ tests/virsystemdtest.c | 48 +++++++++ 9 files changed, 403 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) -- 1.8.1.4

[libvirt] pvpanic plans?
by Paolo Bonzini 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

The thread from yesterday has died off (perhaps also because of my inappropriate answer to Michael, for which I apologize to him and everyone). I took some time to discuss the libvirt requirements further with Daniel Berrange and Eric Blake on IRC. If anyone is interested, I can give logs. This is a suggestion for how to proceed in both QEMU and libvirt. == Builtin pvpanic == QEMU will remove pvpanic from pc-1.5 in 1.6.1 and 1.5.4. This does not break migration. == Support in libvirt for current functionality == libvirt will add a <panic-notifier/> element, and possibly a capability for it accessible via "virsh capabilities". There are two possibilities: 1) On QEMU 1.5.4/1.6.1 and newer (and on QEMU 1.6.0 with a machine type other than pc-1.5), <on_crash> will only work if the element is there. On QEMU 1.5.0->1.5.3, and on QEMU 1.6.0 with the pc-1.5 machine type, <on_crash> will be obeyed always, and may override e.g. reboot-on-panic if a guest driver exist. 2) On all versions, <on_crash> will only work if the element is there. In turn, there are two ways to implement (2): 2a) libvirt will always add -global pvpanic.iobase=0 to neutralize the builtin pvpanic device if present. <panic-notifier/> will create the device with -device pvpanic,iobase=0x505 Advantage: no changes to QEMU Disadvantage 1: writes to port 0 with QEMU 1.{5.0,5.1,5.2,5.3,6.0} and pc-1.5 machine type will write to a pvpanic device instead of the DMA controller. Probably harmless, and limited to some QEMU versions. Disadvantage 2: libvirt has knowledge of the pvpanic port number 2b) QEMU will provide a way for libvirt to detect that no machine type has the builtin pvpanic. If some machine type may have the builtin pvpanic, and <panic-notifier/> is absent, libvirt will add "-global pvpanic.iobase=0" to neutralize it. Otherwise, libvirt will create the device normally. A possible way for libvirt to detect "good" machine types is a dummy property. This is a bit ugly in that the property would not affect the behavior of the device. The property would remain in the long term. Another possibility is for QEMU to rename the device, e.g. to isa-pvpanic. This is also somewhat gross, but not visible in the long term when the "pvpanic" name will be lost in history. Advantage 1: libvirt has no knowledge of the pvpanic port number Disadvantage 1: same as above Disadvantage 2: need a somewhat gross change in QEMU This method also provides an (also somewhat gross on the QEMU side) way to detect other changes in the pvpanic semantics. One example mentioned below, is making the panicked state temporary. == Possible improvements to pvpanic == The current implementation of pvpanic supports three modes: reset system on panic, destroy domain on panic, preserve domain with no possibility to resume it. (Optionally a domain can be dumped too). Long term, the choice to include pvpanic should not be on the guest admin's shoulders, but rather in libosinfo. Thus, it would be nice to have a fourth mode where the panic is logged but the guest otherwise keeps running. This mode would let libosinfo add pvpanic by default without affecting the guest's behavior on panic. With this change, <on_crash>ignore</on_crash> will behave as follows for the three possibilities above: (1) With QEMU 1.5.0 to 1.6.1, <on_crash> will _not_ obey the setting, never (even if no <panic-notifier/> is specified). libvirt will have to pick a fallback action. advantage of destroy as fallback: it is the default (but note that restart is the default for virt-install) advantage of preserve as fallback: lets the admin examine the panic advantage of restart as fallback: maximum availability of the VM, it is the default for virt-install (2a) With QEMU 1.5.0 to 1.6.1, <on_crash> will _not_ obey the setting if <panic-notifier/> is specified. libvirt has _no way_ to learn about this, so the capability would always be present with these QEMU versions and libosinfo would always add <panic-notifier/> with these versions. Given the libosinfo scenario being considered here, this is not very different from (1). (2b) With QEMU 1.5.0 to 1.6.1, the <panic-notifier/> element will not be available and not exposed in libvirt capabilities. Thus with this version libosinfo would omit <panic-notifier/> from the XML. Guest policy will always be followed correctly. The problem in both (1) and (2a) can be summarized as follows. First, libvirt will have to implement and document a fallback action for buggy QEMU. Second, even though the problems would be limited to some version of QEMU, they would be relatively hard to debug for a casual user, could start happening randomly by updating any one of QEMU, libvirt, libosinfo or the guest kernel, and there is no fallback action for libvirt that is always correct. Thus, considering future libosinfo support for pvpanic, (2b) is preferrable in my opinion. Now, making pvpanic reversible requires a change in QEMU (patch already posted). Andreas proposed using a pvpanic property to determine whether the panicked state is temporary or definitive. libvirt could piggyback on such a property to detect the "goodness" of machine types (as mentioned regarding solution 2b above). However: First, this would require a more intrusive patch, less appealing for 1.5 and 1.6 stable branches. Second, there is no reason why libvirt would want to make the panicked state definitive. To achieve the same effect, libvirt can just not issue the "continue" monitor command when the guest is panicked. Thus the new property would be useless except to communicate pvpanic behavior---and renaming the device still seems preferrable to me. Thanks for reading up to here! Paolo

[libvirt] [RESEND][PATCHv5 0/4] write separate module for hostdev passthrough
by Chunyan Liu 15 Oct '13

[rebased to latest libvirt code for applying and reviewing the patches] These patches implements a separate module for hostdev passthrough so that it could be shared by different drivers and can maintain a global state of a host device. Plus, add passthrough to libxl driver, and change qemu driver and lxc driver to use hostdev common library instead of their own hostdev APIs. --- Changes to v4: * change the way checking hypervisor driver name to decide whether use pciback or pci-stub as stub driver, instead, using driver callback to handle that. * remove get active/inactive list APIs from hostdev common library since currently no code uses them. * add nodedev-detach/reattach/reset to libxl driver * other fixes to Daniel and Jim's comments v4 is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg00806.html Changes to v3: * fix Jim's comments v3 is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg00019.html Changes to v2: * add patches for qemu driver and lxc driver, use common library APIs instead of their own hostdev APIs. * add APIs for nodedev-detach and nodedev-reattach calling. * rename functions to use unified prefix 'virHostdev' * use VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT() as others instead of previous Init and Cleanup. * use VIR_STRDUP instead of strdup * rebase to latest code v2 is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-June/msg00263.html Chunyan Liu (4): add hostdev passthrough common library add pci passthrough to libxl driver change qemu driver to use hostdev common library change lxc driver to use hostdev common library docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 1 + po/POTFILES.in | 3 +- src/Makefile.am | 3 +- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 3 +- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 15 + src/libxl/libxl_conf.c | 63 ++ src/libxl/libxl_conf.h | 4 + src/libxl/libxl_domain.c | 9 + src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 443 ++++++++++++++- src/lxc/lxc_conf.h | 4 - src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 45 +- src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.c | 413 ------------- src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.h | 43 -- src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 21 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 1 - src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 9 +- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 9 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 72 +-- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c | 1289 --------------------------------------- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h | 72 --- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 126 ++--- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 34 +- src/util/virhostdev.c | 1335 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virhostdev.h | 104 ++++ src/util/virpci.c | 28 +- src/util/virpci.h | 9 +- src/util/virscsi.c | 26 +- src/util/virscsi.h | 8 +- src/util/virusb.c | 27 +- src/util/virusb.h | 8 +- 31 files changed, 2195 insertions(+), 2033 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.c delete mode 100644 src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.h delete mode 100644 src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c delete mode 100644 src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h create mode 100644 src/util/virhostdev.c create mode 100644 src/util/virhostdev.h

[libvirt] [BUG] libvirtd on destination crash frequently while migrating vms concurrently
by Wangyufei (A) 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hello, I found a problem that libvirtd on destination crash frequently while migrating vms concurrently. For example, if I migrate 10 vms concurrently ceaselessly, then after about 30 minutes the libvirtd on destination will crash. So I analyzed and found two bugs during migration process. First, during migration prepare phase on destination, libvirtd assigns ports to qemu to be startd on destination. But the port increase operation is not aomic, so there's a chance that multi vms get the same port, and only the first one can start successfully, others will fail to start. I've applied a patch to solve this bug, and I test it, it works well. If only this bug exists, libvirtd will not crash. The second bug is fatal. Second, I found the libvirtd crash because of segment fault which is produced by accessing vm released. Apparently it's caused by multi-thread operation, thread A access vm data which has released by thread B. At last I proved my thought right. Step 1. Because of bug one, the port is already occupied, so qemu on destination failed to start and sent a HANGUP signal to libvirtd, then libvirtd received this VIR_EVENT_HANDLE_HANGUP event, thread A dealing with events called qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF as following: #0 qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF (mon=0x7f4dcd9c3130, vm=0x7f4dcd9c9780) at qemu/qemu_process.c:399 #1 0x00007f4dc18d9e87 in qemuMonitorIO (watch=68, fd=27, events=8, opaque=0x7f4dcd9c3130) at qemu/qemu_monitor.c:668 #2 0x00007f4dccae6604 in virEventPollDispatchHandles (nfds=18, fds=0x7f4db4017e70) at util/vireventpoll.c:500 #3 0x00007f4dccae7ff2 in virEventPollRunOnce () at util/vireventpoll.c:646 #4 0x00007f4dccae60e4 in virEventRunDefaultImpl () at util/virevent.c:273 #5 0x00007f4dccc40b25 in virNetServerRun (srv=0x7f4dcd8d26b0) at rpc/virnetserver.c:1106 #6 0x00007f4dcd6164c9 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fff8d8f9f88) at libvirtd.c:1518 static int virEventPollDispatchHandles(int nfds, struct pollfd *fds) { ...... /* deleted flag is still false now, so we pass through to qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF */ if (eventLoop.handles[i].deleted) { EVENT_DEBUG("Skip deleted n=%d w=%d f=%d", i, eventLoop.handles[i].watch, eventLoop.handles[i].fd); continue; } Step 2: Thread B dealing with migration on destination set deleted flag in virEventPollRemoveHandle as following: #0 virEventPollRemoveHandle (watch=74) at util/vireventpoll.c:176 #1 0x00007f4dccae5e6f in virEventRemoveHandle (watch=74) at util/virevent.c:97 #2 0x00007f4dc18d8ca8 in qemuMonitorClose (mon=0x7f4dbc030910) at qemu/qemu_monitor.c:831 #3 0x00007f4dc18bec63 in qemuProcessStop (driver=0x7f4dcd9bd400, vm=0x7f4dbc00ed20, reason=VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_FAILED, flags=0) at qemu/qemu_process.c:4302 #4 0x00007f4dc18c1a83 in qemuProcessStart (conn=0x7f4dbc031020, driver=0x7f4dcd9bd400, vm=0x7f4dbc00ed20, migrateFrom=0x7f4dbc01af90 "tcp:[::]:49152", stdin_fd=-1, stdin_path=0x0, snapshot=0x0, vmop=VIR_NETDEV_VPORT_PROFILE_OP_MIGRATE_IN_START, flags=6) at qemu/qemu_process.c:4145 #5 0x00007f4dc18cc688 in qemuMigrationPrepareAny (driver=0x7f4dcd9bd400, Step 3: Thread B cleanup vm in qemuMigrationPrepareAny after qemuProcessStart failed. #0 virDomainObjDispose (obj=0x7f4dcd9c9780) at conf/domain_conf.c:2009 #1 0x00007f4dccb0ccd9 in virObjectUnref (anyobj=0x7f4dcd9c9780) at util/virobject.c:266 #2 0x00007f4dccb42340 in virDomainObjListRemove (doms=0x7f4dcd9bd4f0, dom=0x7f4dcd9c9780) at conf/domain_conf.c:2342 #3 0x00007f4dc189ac33 in qemuDomainRemoveInactive (driver=0x7f4dcd9bd400, vm=0x7f4dcd9c9780) at qemu/qemu_domain.c:1993 #4 0x00007f4dc18ccad5 in qemuMigrationPrepareAny (driver=0x7f4dcd9bd400, Step 4: Thread A access priv which is released by thread B before, then libvirtd crash, bomb! static void qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF(qemuMonitorPtr mon ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, virDomainObjPtr vm) { virQEMUDriverPtr driver = qemu_driver; virDomainEventPtr event = NULL; qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr priv; int eventReason = VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STOPPED_SHUTDOWN; int stopReason = VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_SHUTDOWN; const char *auditReason = "shutdown"; VIR_DEBUG("Received EOF on %p '%s'", vm, vm->def->name); virObjectLock(vm); priv = vm->privateData; (gdb) p priv $1 = (qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr) 0x0 if (priv->beingDestroyed) { At last if anything bad happened to make qemuProcessStart failed during migration on destination, we'll be in the big trouble that accessing some memory freed.
