[libvirt] Adding multiple graphics devices to a vm
by bancfc＠openmailbox.org 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

I was trying different video devices to correct the problem of having 1024x768 as the maximum resolution for Debian guests. I found out that adding VMVGA gives the wide variety of choice of resolutions I was looking for and adjusts the display properly, in contrast to the deformed way xconf file did. However I still want to make use of SPICE and QXL. Is there a way to have both vmvga and qxl attached and working on the same guest? How would I go about doing this in the XML? thanks.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Add "rawio" for hostdev
by John Ferlan 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

The "rawio" setting for a <device.../> <disk.../> lun isn't duplicated in the scsi_host hostdev device for a lun. Rather than "requiring" some disk in the disk list to add the rawio, add the "rawio" property to the scsi_host hostdev lun.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] Move the FIPS detection from capabilities
by Pavel Hrdina 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

We are not detecting the presence of FIPS from QEMU, but from procfs and that means it's not QEMU capability. It was decided that we will pass this flag to QEMU even if it's not supported by old QEMU binaries. This patch also reverts changes done by commit a21cfb0f to qemucapabilitestest and implements a new test case in qemuxml2argvtest.

[libvirt] How do I modify an existing network filter?
by duyahong＠kingsoft.com 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi All, We have a requirement to allow more than one IP connect to external network through one mac address. We suppose we need to modify the network filter but we can't find the python API or anything else to change the existing network filter. Does anyone know what I should do? We tried another way to add a parameter to 'filterref' in the instance xml file like below blue part and it worked. But we have to restart the instance to make this configufation effective. Can I make the xml change effective without restart the instance? Any help will be appreciated. <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='fa:16:3e:2f:00:09'/> <source bridge='br_vm'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='nova-instance-instance-00000018-fa163e2f0009'> <parameter name='DHCPSERVER' value='50.1.1.1'/> <parameter name='IP' value='50.1.1.223'/> <parameter name='IP' value='50.1.1.222'/> </filterref> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> duyahong(a)kingsoft.com

[libvirt] [PATCH] virSecuritySELinuxSetTapFDLabel: Temporarily revert to old behavior
by Michal Privoznik 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141879 A long time ago I've implemented support for so called multiqueue net. The idea was to let guest network traffic be processed by multiple host CPUs and thus increasing performance. However, this behavior is enabled by QEMU via special ioctl() iterated over the all tap FDs passed in by libvirt. Unfortunately, SELinux comes in and disallows the ioctl() call because the /dev/net/tun has label system_u:object_r:tun_tap_device_t:s0 and 'attach_queue' ioctl() is not allowed on tun_tap_device_t type. So after discussion with a SELinux developer we've decided that the FDs passed to the QEMU should be labelled with svirt_t type and SELinux policy will allow the ioctl(). Therefore I've made a patch (cf976d9dcf4e592261b14f03572) that does exactly this. However, things are not that easy - even though the API to label FD is called (fsetfilecon_raw) the underlying file is labelled too! So effectively we are mangling /dev/net/tun label. Yes, that broke dozen of other application from openvpn, or boxes, to qemu running other domains. The best solution would be if SELinux provides a way to label an FD only, which could be then labeled when passed to the qemu. However that's a long path to go and we should fix this regression AQAP. So I went to talk to the SELinux developer again and we agreed on temporary solution that: 1) my patch is reverted 2) SELinux temporarily allows 'attach_queue' on the tun_tap_device_t Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> --- src/security/security_selinux.c | 36 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/security/security_selinux.c b/src/security/security_selinux.c index 3db2b27..c69eeb9 100644 --- a/src/security/security_selinux.c +++ b/src/security/security_selinux.c @@ -2343,17 +2343,47 @@ virSecuritySELinuxSetImageFDLabel(virSecurityManagerPtr mgr ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, } static int -virSecuritySELinuxSetTapFDLabel(virSecurityManagerPtr mgr ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, +virSecuritySELinuxSetTapFDLabel(virSecurityManagerPtr mgr, virDomainDefPtr def, int fd) { + struct stat buf; + security_context_t fcon = NULL; virSecurityLabelDefPtr secdef; + char *str = NULL; + int rc = -1; secdef = virDomainDefGetSecurityLabelDef(def, SECURITY_SELINUX_NAME); - if (!secdef || !secdef->imagelabel) + if (!secdef || !secdef->label) return 0; - return virSecuritySELinuxFSetFilecon(fd, secdef->imagelabel); + if (fstat(fd, &buf) < 0) { + virReportSystemError(errno, _("cannot stat tap fd %d"), fd); + goto cleanup; + } + + if ((buf.st_mode & S_IFMT) != S_IFCHR) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("tap fd %d is not character device"), fd); + goto cleanup; + } + + if (getContext(mgr, "/dev/tap.*", buf.st_mode, &fcon) < 0) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("cannot lookup default selinux label for tap fd %d"), fd); + goto cleanup; + } + + if (!(str = virSecuritySELinuxContextAddRange(secdef->label, fcon))) { + goto cleanup; + } else { + rc = virSecuritySELinuxFSetFilecon(fd, str); + } + + cleanup: + freecon(fcon); + VIR_FREE(str); + return rc; } static char * -- 1.8.5.5

Hmm, I've been thinking about that too. It would indeed be nice to introspect what APIs are available, and for those APIs with a flags parameter, what flag(s) bits are supported. What signature would we want? Thinking aloud here... Maybe: struct virAPI { const char *name; /* Name of the C API call */ unsigned int flags; /* The flag bits that are understood, if the C API includes a flags argument */ }; /* Allocate a list of supported API information into *list, and return the length of the list. User must call free() on the array when done. flags is 0 for now */ int virConnectListAPI(virConnectPtr conn, virAPIPtr *list, unsigned int flags); Or even having an enum mapping of C API names, instead of passing around char*. But the enum would not quite match the RPC call numbers. Implementation-wise, we've got a lot of driver calls that manually call virCheckFlags() at the front; maybe what we would do is modify the driver.h callback list to have a struct that contains both a callback pointer AND a flags value, rather than the current use of just a callback pointer; then we can make the rejection of unsupported flags in common code instead of manual virCheckFlags() everywhere, and we could also use the population of that registration as our point of documentation for when support for given bits in the flags argument is added. There's still the question of how dynamic this can be - for example, some qemu driver APIs accept a flag in name, but then fail if the underlying qemu binary is too old. Is it sufficient to document that the API knows about the flag, or do we really want the more complex solution of getting the exact subset of flags that have a chance of succeeding based on the underlying qemu binary? I'm leaning towards having the introspection API just report a flag if the driver plans on handling it; and in the cases where the underlying binary can cause the flag to succeed or fail, we can then use virConnectGetDomainCapabilities to advertise that sort of runtime difference (in other words, the API I'm thinking about adding is static and won't change answers based on a qemu upgrade; anything that depends on the actual running qemu affects is reflected through existing API). What about APIs that accept more than just a flags argument, such as the recent virConnectGetAllDomainStats, which as both a stats and flags parameter? Should the virAPI return struct contain a virTypedParameters or similar thing that can let us describe multiple details about a given API? -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu_capabilities: fix issue with discarding old capabilities
by Pavel Hrdina 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

There was a bug that if libvirtd binary has been updated than the capability file wasn't reloaded therefore new capabilities introduced in libvirt cannot be used because the cached version was loaded.
