[libvirt] pci-assign fails with read error on config-space file
by Henning Schild
Hey,
i am running an unusual setup where i assign pci devices behind the
back of libvirt. I have two options to do that:
1. a wrapper script for qemu that takes care of suid-root and appends
arguments for pci-assign
2. virsh qemu-monitor-command ... 'device_add pci-assign...'
I know i should probably not be doing this, it is a workaround to
introduce fine-grained pci-assignment in an openstack setup, where
vendor and device id are not enough to pick the right device for a vm.
In both cases qemu will crash with the following output:
> qemu: hardware error: pci read failed, ret = 0 errno = 22
followed by the usual machine state dump. With strace i found it to be
a failing read on the config space file of my device.
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:xx:xx.x/config
A few reads out of that file succeeded, as well as accesses on vendor
etc.
Manually launching a qemu with the pci-assign works without a problem,
so i "blame" libvirt and the cgroup environment the qemu ends up in.
So i put a bash into the exact same cgroup setup - next to a running
qemu, expecting a dd or hexdump on the config-space file to fail. But
from that bash i can read the file without a problem.
Has anyone seen that problem before? Right now i do not know what i
am missing, maybe qemu is hitting some limits configured for the
cgroups or whatever. I can not use pci-assign from libvirt, but if i
did would it configure cgroups in a different way or relax some limits?
What would be a good next step to debug that? Right now i am looking at
kernel event traces, but the machine is pretty big and so is the trace.
That assignment used to work and i do not know how it broke, i have
tried combinations of several kernels, versions of libvirt and qemu.
(kernel 3.18 and 4.4, libvirt 1.3.2 and 2.0.0, and qemu 2.2.1 and 2.7)
All combinations show the same problem, even the ones that work on
other machines. So when it comes to software versions the problem could
well be caused by a software update of another component, that i
got with the package manager and did not compile myself. It is a debian
8.6 with all recent updates installed. My guess would be that systemd
could have an influence on cgroups or limits causing such a problem.
regards,
Henning

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/6] New libssh transport
by Pino Toscano
Hi,
this series introduces a new libssh transport in libvirt, based on the
libssh C library. This library supports what libssh2 does, and more:
- easier API for known_hosts handling (there's a ticket upstream to
request extensions for it, but what is implemented now works well)
- potential GSSAPI authentication (not enabled yet because of a libssh
bug [1])
- easier API for ssh-agent support
The implementation for the new transport is based on the libssh2 one,
hence it shares origin and style.
[1] https://red.libssh.org/issues/242
Thanks,
Changes from v2 to v3:
- split into more commits
- integrate all the issues spotted by Daniel P. Berrange and
Peter Krempa
- restore the specified order of authentication methods (as in libssh2)
- add a related documentation fix
- minor coding fixes
Changes from v1 to v2:
- implemented keyboard interactive
- code polish, and fixes
Pino Toscano (6):
virNetSocket: allow to not close FD
virerror: add error for libssh transport
libssh_transport: add new libssh-based transport
remote: expose a new libssh transport

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: report block job errors from qemu to the user
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy
So that you can see nice report on migration:
"error: operation failed: migration of disk sda failed: No space left on device"
diff from v1:
1. drop 1 patch. Avoiding default label in switches is desired style.
2. drop 2 patch. I do not investigate enough to touch that place.
3. fix 3 patch
a) as suggested by Jiri
* fix leaks
* s/hint/error/g
* don't show <NULL> in error message
* take suggested code simplifications
b) extra
* print error string from qemu to log in case we have to drop it

[libvirt] libvirt label qemu process problem
by zhunxun＠gmail.com
I found that when using souce code to install libvirt,it labeled qemu process with label "unconfined_u:unconfined_r:svirt_t:s0:c53,c366" instead of
"system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c53,c366",is this a bug??can anyone explain it ??

[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: remove obsolete library.xen file
by Daniel P. Berrange
The library.xen file contains a braindump of thoughts dating
from the very first days of libvirt, when it was briefly
called libxen. This is not useful and potentially misleading
or confusing for people.

- About a libxen library
- ======================
-
-Functional description:
------------------------
-
- Small C library to be able to control Xen Linux guest, i.e.
- provide the following operations for Xen guest domains running Linux
- from domain 0 code linked to the library (running as root):
- - start
- - stop
- - suspend
- - resume
- - monitor
- More advanced features should be allowed as future extensions, but
- are not expected to be provided in first shipment.
-
- Open enough Licence that customers can link their apps to it (LGPL)
-
- Small and contained enough that we can use it as a way to
- provide API and ABI stability in spite if the evolution of Xen
- existing API and hypervisor calls.
-
-The current state of Xen userland:
-----------------------------------
-
- the existing Xen 3.0 userland code is mostly based on tiny C functions
-using direct hypervisor calls (or /proc/xen/ interfaces) and a lot of
-Python code on top driving the hypervisor.
- The C code is relatively hairy, functions with 10 parameters or more
-are not uncommon, and it is very low level usually without comment about
-the function or its arguments. They are usually only called once in the
-whole tree by the python bindings. In essence it looks like the Xen project
-was not implemented with the idea of reusing that part of the code by
-applications.
- Indeed most of the userland code coming with Xen is built on Python,
-like xend the xen daemon running on domain 0 or the xenstored daemon which
-manage the state of the domains launched.
-
-Rebuilding a library ?:
------------------------
-
- Providing a library at the C level to drive domain execution is in a
-very large part a rimplementation of existing code but in a different way
-and somehow with different goals for the code. The existing Licence (GPL)
-makes it uneasy, we can't copy GPL code to put it in a LGPL'ed library,
-and rewriting everything while looking at the Xen code will inevitably
-lead to code similarities especially with this kind of system code. Plus
-we will still need to run xend and probably xenstored to not diverge
-completely from Xen existing code base.
-
-The IBM way:
-------------
-
- Here is supposition about code that I can't instanciate except by looking
-at said code but it looks that IBM also needed a C programmatic API to
-manage the Xen domain definitions. Their solution was to build (Rusty
-Russell did this) an LGPL C API connecting directly to the xenstore
-daemon (./tools/xenstore/*). In a way this is quite more fragile as it depends
-on the whole existing stack of the Xen code, but it isolate the API
-from the implementation details of the current Xen source (API in
-./tools/xenstore/xs.h). The goal seems to be more about testing and controlling
-the xen store daemon, but it shows a different approach to decouple client
-API/ABI from the Xen existing code.
-
-Open question:
----------------
-
- To what extent should libxen be a rewrite or an isolation layer around
-some of the existing code ?
-
- Rewrite:
-
- Pros:
- - avoid the GPL Licence problem potentially more users
- - allow do build a cleaner more stable layer
- - the existing code is frightening
- Cons:
- - awful lot of work debugging very hard
- - will still require existing Xen code to be running
- - splitting interfaces is hard politically and lower the
- Open Source efforts toward the project
-
- Wrappers on top of existing code:
-
- Pros:
- - much smaller code rewrite
- - benefits from the bugfixes injected by other patchers upstream
- Cons:
- - Licence constraint GPL only for apps
- - API/ABI isolation may not be easier in that way
-
- Potentially the API could be implemented as a layer on top of the existing
-libxc C code library and then progressively migrating out the existing
-dependence to Xen code as the interfaces stabilize.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Add support for preallocated fd memory
by Jaroslav Safka
Hi,
we would like to introduce 3 new elements source,access and allocation
in memoryBacking element.
<memoryBacking>
<source type="file|anonymous"/>
<access Mode="shared|private"/>
<allocation mode="immediate|ondemand"/>
</memoryBacking>
If allocation is immediate then -mem-prealloc should be added to the qemu commanline.
If source is file then
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu -numa node,memdev=mem Should be added to the qemu commandline
If access is shared then the share=on parameter should be added to the memory-backend-file e.g.
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu,share=on
Also token memAccess in numa cell is used (if not present, default value
from memoryBacking is used)
