[libvirt] <interface type='direct'>
by Moshe Levi
Hi,
In OpenStack we have a port type macvtap.
Mavtap port is just a tap device connected to VF.
In Libvirt the guest xml look like
<interface type='direct'>
<mac address='fa:16:3e:b1:06:4e'/>
<source dev='p1p6' mode='passthrough'/>
<target dev='macvtap1'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver name='vhost'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
In the hypervisor we can see that the mac of the VF which is fa:16:3e:f3:9b:e8 - is set by OpenStack see [1]
9: ens3f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master ovs-system state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 7c:fe:90:29:24:4e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
vf 0 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking off, link-state disable
vf 1 MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00, spoof checking off, link-state disable
vf 2 MAC fa:16:3e:f3:9b:e8, vlan 48, spoof checking on, link-state enable
vf 3 MAC fa:16:3e:f6:02:c8, vlan 48, spoof checking on, link-state enable
41: ens3f4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether fa:16:3e:f6:02:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
42: macvtap0@ens3f4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500
link/ether fa:16:3e:f6:02:c8, brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The netdevice of the VF which is ens3f4 has also the same mac. This mac is set when using Libvirt 1.2.2 (Ubuntu 14.04),
But when we tested with new Libvirt versions >= 1.2.17 (Fedora 23/Ubuntu 16.04) the mac netdevice of the VF (ens3f4) is not set.
This change in Libvirt breaks the guest from getting DHCP in OpenStack.
Do you know why the behavior change in newer releases?
We have a WIP patch in OpenStack for setting also the mac for the netdevice of the VF [2]. Just wanted to know that this is the correct approach.

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 1/4] libxl: support serial list
by Bob Liu
Add support for multi serial devices, after this patch virsh can be used to
connect different serial devices of running domains. E.g.
vish # console <xxx> --devname serial<xxx>
Note:
This depends on a xen/libxl bug fix to have libxl_console_get_tty(...) correctly
returning the tty path (as opposed to always returning the first one).

[libvirt] [PATCH V2] virpci: support driver_override sysfs interface
by Jim Fehlig
libvirt uses the new_id PCI sysfs interface to bind a PCI stub driver
to a PCI device. The new_id interface is known to be buggy and racey,
hence a more deterministic interface was introduced in the 3.12 kernel:
driver_override. For more details see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-June/msg02124.html
This patch adds support for the driver_override interface by
- adding new virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}StubWithOverride functions
that use the driver_override interface
- renames the existing virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}Stub functions
to virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}StubWithNewid to perserve existing
behavior on new_id interface
- changes virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}Stub function to call one of
the above depending on availability of driver_override
The patch includes a bit of duplicate code, but allows for easily
dropping the new_id code once support for older kernels is no
longer desired.

V1:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-July/msg00370.html
Changes since V1:
- drop patch1
- change patch2 to preserve the existing new_id code and add new
functions to implement the driver_override interface

[libvirt] firewalld transaction model
by Thomas Woerner
Hello,
the transaction model that has been introduced with firewalld-0.4.2 makes it
possible to group rules together and to apply them at once and quick. For this
the restore commands of iptables, ip6tables and ebtables are used as long as
they are available.
At the moment the transaction model is only used inside of firewalld. It
applies all the generated and provided rules in a small amount of transactions.
This speeds up load and reload times of firewalld drastically.
There is no external interface to add transaction by services or applications
right now.
Because of this I'd like to get feedback from the D-Bus interface and command
line consumers: Is there interest in using transactions at all? What are the
needs and wishes?
With this information it should then be possible to get to a good and stable
interface. This will most likely an iterative process with some test and proof
of concept implementations.
Please provide information about your needs and wishes.
Regards,
Thomas

[libvirt] wiki accounts for GSOC submissions
by Cole Robinson
Next week is the time for GSOC students to submit their Final Evaluations.
Work needs to be hosted/linked from a public URL. Cedric suggested using the
libvirt wiki for these pages, so something like:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016/My_Page_Title
And then we can link it from the top level Google_Summer_of_Code_2016 as well.
But this means GSOC students will need wiki accounts which needs admin
intervention.
GSOC students: if you don't already have libvirt wiki accounts, please respond
here with your desired username and email and one of the wiki admins will set
you up.
Thanks,
Cole

[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: add memory attach support
by Bob Liu
Support for VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MEMORY on domainAttachDeviceFlags API in libxl
driver, using libxl_set_memory_target in xen libxl.
With "virsh attach-device" command we can then hotplug memory to a domain:
<memory model='dimm'>
<target>
<size unit='MiB'>128</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
</memory>
$ virsh attach-device domain_name this.xml --live

[libvirt] Querying block device job status and semantics of virDomainBlockJobInfo()
by Kashyap Chamarthy
In OpenStack Nova, we're trying to analyze a potential race
condition[0]. The operation flow is something like: perform a live
shallow blockRebase(), check for progress with blockJobInfo(), followed
by a blockJobAbort() (QMP 'block-job-cancel') to get a live
point-in-time snapshot, then convert the resulting shallow copy with a
backing file into a flattenned image with (`qemu-img convert`), and Nova
uploads that into the image repository (Glance). Nova uses some
wrappers around the above APIs, and calls them this way, in its
_live_snapshot() method[1]:
[...]
dev.rebase(disk_delta, copy=True, reuse_ext=True, shallow=True)
while dev.wait_for_job():
time.sleep(0.5)
dev.abort_job()
[...]
Looking at a failed blockRebase() operation from libvirt debug log, the
root cause turns out to be libvirt issuing QMP command
'block-job-cancel' (blockJobAbort()) when the block device job status
is "ready": false, which results in a corrupted destination file. (In
a successful case, QMP command 'block-job-cancel' should be issued when
the job status is: "ready": true).
My libvirtd log analysis in the Nova bug is here[2] from a failed case,
which has QMP traffic back-n-forth.
- - -
So, I'm trying to understand how libvirt reports the "cur" and "end"
values. I've read the virDomainBlockJobInfo() struct, it wasn't crystal
clear. It states:
/*
* The following fields provide an indication of block job progress. @cur
* indicates the current position and will be between 0 and @end. @end is
* the final cursor position for this operation and represents completion.
* To approximate progress, divide @cur by @end.
*/
Now, if a job hasn't started, what would libvirt report? Talking to
Michal Privoznik on IRC:
[mprivozn]
I wonder if libvirt should report something else than start=0 end=0
in order to tell the caller that job hasn't been started yet. I
suspect that libvirt does not report correctly whether job has
started already, which in turns forces Nova to use some workarounds.
[kashyap]
So, if the job hasn't started yet, what should libvirt report?
[mprivozn]
That's the question. We can't change the [virDomainBlockJobInfo]
struct (otherwise we won't be ABI compatible), so we can't really
add a bolean there 'bool job_started'.
Or we can introduce new "job type" which wouldn't really be a job
type, but we will fill status.job with it to say explicitly job
hasn't started yet
So, any other thoughts here, on how to proceed here?
- - -
I realize that a copy job has two phases, as clearly stated in the API
documenation of virDomainBlockRebase()[3]:
"[...] The job transitions to the second phase when the job info
states cur == end, and remains alive to mirror all further changes to
both source and destination. The user must call
virDomainBlockJobAbort() to end the mirroring while choosing whether
to revert to source or pivot to the destination. [...]"

Live snapshot is corrupted (possibly race condition?)
