[libvirt] why not shutdown the src vm to avoid split-brain
by zhang bo 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

In func doPeer2PeerMigrate3(), in the "finish" step, it checks whether domainMigrateFinish3() returns NULL or not. if it(ddomain) is NULL, it just restarts the guest on the source. Please consider the scenario that the ddomain has already been running on the dest, but it fails to tell the source this fact, and ddomain becomes NULL. If we then restart the guest on the source, there will be 2 same guests running on both sides, and a SPLIT-BRAIN occurs. It seems much better to stop them both , rather than leaving them both running. At least, when we found the ddomain is NULL, we should probably check whether the problem is caused by keepAlive failure, if so, kill the guest on the source rather than restarting it. How do you think about that? BTW, it says that: "The lock manager plugins should take care of safety in this scenario" in the comment, with the commit 2593f9692df0f128b14cde811e18aa49c1cf3e06, I don't quite understand that: 1) If we migrate the guest with the flag VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK, then nbd server may take care of the data consistency, But before it starts the cpus on the dest, the nbd server is already stopped. So, at this moment, no one takes care of this problem. 2) If we migrate the guest with a shared disk, then does it mean that the nfs or other shareing-disk schemas should prevent split-brain by themselves?

[libvirt] Tunnelled post-copy live migration - support of bidirectional communication over the tunnel
by Vojtech Cima 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Hello everyone, we are very interested about the post-copy live migration mechanism in libvirt [1] using QEMU. Mentioning post-copy in this context means the setup with the first full iteration of standard pre-copy and then switching to the post-copy. VIR_MIGRATE_ENABLE_POSTCOPY, VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY_AFTER_PRECOPY together with VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED flag. Recently we have noticed the issue that post-copy live migration doesn't work over the tunnel since since current tunnel implementation in libvirt supports only uni-directional communication. I spent some time trying to enable bidirectional communication over the tunnel but still facing several issues and I would appreciate any hints how to move forward. The idea is to add a function (probably a callback function) responsible for handling the traffic in the opposite direction (dest->src) reading from the virStream and writing to the QEMU [2]. To be able to do so I replaced the current 'pipe' calls with the 'socketpair' calls to create bidirectional paths. Now, trying to use tunnelled post-copy live migration, it gets initiated, there is some traffic going from source to destination (obviously the pre-copy phase) but at some point it gets stuck on the 'saferead' function [3] which is now blocking. Can this issue issue be linked with the default socket blocking policy? Trying to use standard 'read' function instead of 'saferead' results that the lower data transfers and it seems it's missing significant part of information. Another point is that we suppose that the virStream on its own supports bidirectional communication, is that correct?

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] Comment out variables/functions that are unused.
by Gary R Hook 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Avoids complaints when the compiler is configured to "warn-unused". A few files contain unnecessary code that results in the compiler erroring out when -Wunused* options are used.

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 1/2] security: introduce virSecurityManagerCheckAllLabel function
by Erik Skultety 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

We do have a check for valid per-domain security model, however we still do permit an invalid security model for a domain's device (those which are specified with <source> element). This patch introduces a new function virSecurityManagerCheckAllLabel which compares user specified security model against currently registered security drivers. That being said, it also permits 'none' being specified as a device security model.

[libvirt] QEMU capabilities vs machine types
by Michal Privoznik 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Dear list, I've ran into the following bug [1]. The problem is, even though we check whether memory-backend-{ram,file} devices are supported, qemu fails to start. As I see it, on one hand, qemu lies about supported devices (when I imitated libvirt capabilities check by hand on the command line). But on the other hand, libvirt is using '-M none' so even if qemu is fixed, the domain would be unable to start anyway. So I believe my question is, does anybody have a bright idea how to fix this? I don't think we want to extend our capabilities from a list to a matrix (where a machine type would select a list). Moreover, querying and creating the matrix would take ages. But then again, machine type is important. Maybe not so for -x86_64 but for -arm definitely! Or? Michal 1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1191567
