[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/4] tests: json: Improve testing of parsing and formatting
by Peter Krempa 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Now rebased to master after changes to the virjsontest. Purpose of this series was to test json nested in json. While it won't be used, it may be worth to test that our parser and formatter handles escaping/nesting properly.

[libvirt] [PATCH] security: apparmor: Properly link with storage driver in helper program
by Peter Krempa 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

The refactor to split up storage driver into modules broke the apparmor helper program, since that did not initialize the storage driver properly and thus detection of the backing chain could not work. Register the storage driver backends explicitly. Unfortunately it's now necessary to link with the full storage driver to satisfy dependencies of the loadable modules. --- src/Makefile.am | 2 +- src/security/virt-aa-helper.c | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am index 399d031dd..e637dfd91 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.am +++ b/src/Makefile.am @@ -3281,7 +3281,7 @@ virt_aa_helper_LDADD = \ libvirt.la \ libvirt_conf.la \ libvirt_util.la \ - libvirt_driver_storage_impl.la \ + libvirt_driver_storage.la \ ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la if WITH_DTRACE_PROBES virt_aa_helper_LDADD += libvirt_probes.lo diff --git a/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c b/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c index 695272076..a751d6deb 100644 --- a/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c +++ b/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ #include "virgettext.h" #include "storage/storage_source.h" +#include "storage/storage_backend.h" #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_SECURITY @@ -926,6 +927,11 @@ get_files(vahControl * ctl) goto cleanup; } + if (virStorageBackendDriversRegister(false) < 0) { + vah_error(ctl, 0, _("failed to register storage driver backend")); + goto cleanup; + } + for (i = 0; i < ctl->def->ndisks; i++) { virDomainDiskDefPtr disk = ctl->def->disks[i]; @@ -1283,6 +1289,8 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } + virFileActivateDirOverride(argv[0]); + /* Initialize the log system */ virLogSetFromEnv(); -- 2.13.2

[libvirt] [PATCH] virFileInData: Report an error if unable to reposition file
by Michal Privoznik 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

The purpose of this function is to tell if the current position in given FD is in data section or a hole and how much bytes there is remaining until the end of the section. This is achieved by couple of lseeks(). The most important part is that we reposition the FD back, so that the position is unchanged from the caller POV. And until now the final lseek() back to the original position was done with no check for errors. And I was convinced that that's okay since nothing can go wrong. However, John persuaded me, that it's better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, lets check if the final lseek() succeeded and if it doesn't report an error.

The problem with using -global is not that it requires using a different syntax to set properties for the default PHB, but rather that such properties are then inherited by all other PHBs unless explicitly overridden. Not creating the default PHB at all would solve the issue. On the other hand, libvirt would then need to either 1) only allow setting NUMA nodes for PHBs if QEMU supports the new option, leaving QEMU < 2.10 users behind; or 2) implement handling for both the new and old behavior. I'm not sure we could get away with 1), and going for 2) means more work both for QEMU and libvirt developers for very little actual gain, so I'd be inclined to scrap this and just build the libvirt glue on top of the existing interface. That is, of course, unless 1) having a random selection of PHBs not assigned to any NUMA node is a sensible use case. This is something we just can't do reliably with the current interface: we can decide to set the NUMA node only for say, PHBs 1 and 3 leaving 0 and 2 alone, but once we set it for the default PHB we *have* to set it for all remaining ones as well. libvirt will by default assign emulated devices to the default PHB, so I would rather expect users to leave that one alone and set a NUMA node for all other PHBs; or 2) there are other properties outside of numa_node we might want to deal with; or 3) it turns out it's okay to require a recent QEMU :) -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: schema: make disk driver name attribute optional
by Jim Fehlig 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory attribute according to formatdomain, and indeed it was agreed on IRC that the attribute is "optional for input, recommended (but not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g. # cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver type='raw'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> # virt-xml-validate test.xml Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave test.xml:21: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content test.xml fails to validate Relaxing the name attribute to be optional fixes the validation # virt-xml-validate test.xml test.xml validates Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig(a)suse.com> --- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng b/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng index fc1a40f96..a49ce9303 100644 --- a/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng +++ b/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng @@ -1804,9 +1804,11 @@ </element> </define> <define name="driverFormat"> - <attribute name="name"> - <ref name="genericName"/> - </attribute> + <optional> + <attribute name="name"> + <ref name="genericName"/> + </attribute> + </optional> <optional> <attribute name='type'> <choice> -- 2.13.1

[libvirt] Xen device section defaults miss name='qemu'
by Christian Ehrhardt 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Hi, we have found an issue caused by 321a28c6 "libxl: set default disk format in device post-parse" (and maybe more changes I couldn't identify yet). TL;DR: The auto-added driver section in xen changed and now causes issues. An example to to trigger: 1. Create a XEN xml with a disk device of type cdrom, but do not add a driver section, like. <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> 2. on virsh define if that XML 2b. You could also "virsh edit" any working xml file, remove the <driver../> which will trigger the same 2c. You could also define via virt-manager as it does not explicitly specify the device section What happens is that before the changes this auto-added a driver section like: <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> But now it does only add <driver type='raw'/> Which fails to verify like: Interestingly the same is not true for KVM, there the section is as it was in the past which made it more likely the post-parse step might be involved. Also rather expected, if one adds a full <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> in the XML libvirt doesn't have to provide (broken) defaults and things work as they should - yet from a user with formerly working XMLs or using virt-manager this is a regression. I have beg your pardon I seem to not be experienced enough on this part of libvirt to provide a valid fix - I tried but nothing good came out so far. For now I reverted 321a28c6 which also affects a test later added by 4cd3f241. With those changes it will not add anything which lets us start Xen VMs for now, but it clearly isn't a solution. I wanted to ask you if you could take a look into this? -- Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd

[libvirt] [PATCH] test/Makefile.am: drop WARN_CFLAGS from LDFLAGS

Introduced by commit 0832c58, with the intention to link with the stack protector library. Another instance introduced by commit 4cbc15d which separated commandhelper_LDADD from LDADDS.
