[libvirt] [PATCH v2] Ensure disk names follow the disk name regex
by Nitesh Konkar 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Currently disk names do not follow the (regex) /^[fhv]d[a-z]+[0-9]*$/ completely and hence one can assign disk names like vd2 etc. This patch ensures that the disk names follow the regex mentioned. This patch also adds a testcase.

[libvirt] libvirt-php --with-php-config=/path/to/php is broken.
by Shaun Reitan 16 Feb '17

When running the following command I ended up getting errors that phpize was missing. Trying to dig into this further i found that configure.ac was just trying to run php-config without providing a path. The following patch corrects the issue by using the $PHPCONFIG variable instead. ./configure --prefix=/opt/libvirt-php --with-php-config=/path/to/php-config` diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index f232756..d93e946 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ if test "x$PHPCONFIG" = "xno"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([php-config not found; please install the PHP SDK]) fi -AC_PATH_PROG([PHPIZE], [phpize], [no], [`php-config --prefix`/bin$PATH_SEPARATOR$PATH]) +AC_PATH_PROG([PHPIZE], [phpize], [no], [`$PHPCONFIG --prefix`/bin$PATH_SEPARATOR$PATH]) if test "x$PHPIZE" = "xno"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([phpize not found; please install the PHP SDK]) fi -- Shaun Reitan Network Data Center Host, Inc.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Allow empty script path to <interface/>
by Michal Privoznik 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Before 9c17d665fdc5f (v1.3.2 - I know, right?) it was possible to have the following interface configuration: <interface type='ethernet'/> <script path=''/> </interface> This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped us to get away with this as it just ignored the empty script path. However, after the commit mentioned above it's libvirtd who is executing the script. Unfortunately without special case-ing empty script path.

[libvirt] [v6 00/10] Support cache tune in libvirt
by Eli Qiao 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Addressed comment from v6 -> v5 Marcelo: * Support other APPs to operate /sys/fs/resctrl at same time Libvirt will scan /sys/fs/resctrl again before doing cache allocation. patch 10 will address this. Addressed comment from v4 -> v5: Marcelo: * Several typos * Use flock instead of virFileLock Addressed comment from v3 -> v4: Daniel & Marcelo: * Added concurrence support Addressed comment from v2 -> v3: Daniel: * Fixed coding style, passed `make check` and `make syntax-check` * Variables renaming and move from header file to c file. * For locking/mutex support, no progress. There are some discussion from mailing list, but I can not find a better way to add locking support without performance impact. I'll explain the process and please help to advice what shoud we do. VM create: 1) Get the cache left value on each bank of the host. This should be shared amount all VMs. 2) Calculate the schemata on the bank based on all created resctrl domain's schemata 3) Calculate the default schemata by scaning all domain's schemata. 4) Flush default schemata to /sys/fs/resctrl/schemata VM destroy: 1) Remove the resctrl domain of that VM 2) Recalculate default schemata 3) Flush default schemata to /sys/fs/resctrl/schemata The key point is that all VMs shares /sys/fs/resctrl/schemata, and when a VM create a resctrl domain, the schemata of that VM depends on the default schemata and all other exsited schematas. So a global mutex is reqired. Before calculate a schemata or update default schemata, libvirt should gain this global mutex. I will try to think more about how to support this gracefully in next patch set. Marcelo: * Added vcpu support for cachetune, this will allow user to define which vcpu using which cache allocation bank. <cachetune id='0' host_id=0 size='3072' unit='KiB' vcpus='0,1'/> vcpus is a cpumap, the vcpu pids will be added to tasks file * Added cdp compatible, user can specify l3 cache even host enable cdp. See patch 8. On a cdp enabled host, specify l3code/l3data by <cachetune id='0' host_id='0' type='l3' size='3072' unit='KiB'/> This will create a schemata like: L3data:0=0xff00;... L3code:0=0xff00;... * Would you please help to test if the functions work. Martin: * Xml test case, I have no time to work on this yet, would you please show me an example, would like to amend it later. This series patches are for supportting CAT featues, which also called cache tune in libvirt. First to expose cache information which could be tuned in capabilites XML. Then add new domain xml element support to add cacahe bank which will apply on this libvirt domain. This series patches add a util file `resctrl.c/h`, an interface to talk with linux kernel's system fs. There are still one TODO left: 1. Expose a new public interface to get free cache information. 2. Expose a new public interface to set cachetune lively. Some discussion about this feature support can be found from: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-January/msg00644.html Eli Qiao (10): Resctrl: Add some utils functions Resctrl: expose cache information to capabilities Resctrl: Add new xml element to support cache tune Resctrl: Add private interface to set cachebanks Qemu: Set cache banks Resctrl: enable l3code/l3data Resctrl: Make sure l3data/l3code are pairs Resctrl: Compatible mode for cdp enabled Resctrl: concurrence support Resctrl: Scan resctrl before doing cache allocation docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 46 ++ include/libvirt/virterror.h | 1 + po/POTFILES.in | 1 + src/Makefile.am | 1 + src/conf/capabilities.c | 56 ++ src/conf/capabilities.h | 23 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 182 +++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.h | 19 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 11 + src/nodeinfo.c | 64 +++ src/nodeinfo.h | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 8 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 6 + src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 53 ++ src/util/virerror.c | 1 + src/util/virresctrl.c | 1208 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virresctrl.h | 88 +++ 17 files changed, 1769 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/util/virresctrl.c create mode 100644 src/util/virresctrl.h -- 1.9.1

[libvirt] [RFC PATCH 00/16] Introduce vGPU mdev framework to libvirt
by Erik Skultety 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Finally. It's here. This is the initial suggestion on how libvirt might interract with the mdev framework, currently only focussing on the non-managed devices, i.e. those pre-created by the user, since that will be revisited once we all settled on how the XML should look like, given we might not want to use the sysfs path directly as an attribute in the domain XML. My proposal on the XML is the following: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='mdev'> <source>  <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x00' function='0x00'> <uuid>vGPU_UUID<uuid> <source>  </hostdev> So the mediated device is identified by the physical parent device visible on the host and a UUID which allows us to construct the sysfs path by ourselves, which we then put on the QEMU's command line. A few remarks if you actually happen to have a machine to test this on: - right now the mediated devices are one-time use only, i.e. they have to be recreated before every machine boot - I wouldn't recommend assigning multiple vGPUs to a single domain Once this series is sorted out, we can then continue with 'managed=yes' where as Laine pointed out [1], we need to figure out how exactly should the management layer hint libvirt which vGPU type should be used for device instantiation.
