[Libvir] PATCH: Remove no-op network API impl from OpenVZ driver
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

The openvz_driver.c file registers an implementation of the networking driver APIs, which is a no-op. Even though the networking APIs are implemented in the QEMU driver, this one impl is *shared* and used across all virtualization driver backends. Thus no other driver such as Xen/OpenVZ/etc should ever implement the network APIs. The only exceptions are the remote driver, and the test driver. So this patch removes the no-op impl from openvz diff -r 079dc4e2fd54 src/openvz_driver.c --- a/src/openvz_driver.c Mon Jan 14 18:09:49 2008 -0500 +++ b/src/openvz_driver.c Mon Jan 14 19:04:10 2008 -0500 @@ -86,14 +86,6 @@ static int openvzShutdown(void); static int openvzShutdown(void); static int openvzReload(void); static int openvzActive(void); -static int openvzCloseNetwork(virConnectPtr conn); -static virDrvOpenStatus openvzOpenNetwork(virConnectPtr conn, - const char *name ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - int *credtype ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - int ncredtype ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - virConnectAuthCallbackPtr cb ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - void *cbdata ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - int flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED); static virDomainPtr openvzDomainDefineXML(virConnectPtr conn, const char *xml); static virDomainPtr openvzDomainCreateLinux(virConnectPtr conn, const char *xml, @@ -696,20 +688,6 @@ static int openvzActive(void) { static int openvzActive(void) { return 1; -} - -static int openvzCloseNetwork(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) { - return 0; -} - -static virDrvOpenStatus openvzOpenNetwork(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - const char *name ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - int *credtype ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - int ncredtype ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - virConnectAuthCallbackPtr cb ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - void *cbdata ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, - int flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) { - return VIR_DRV_OPEN_SUCCESS; } static virDriver openvzDriver = { @@ -771,27 +749,6 @@ static virDriver openvzDriver = { NULL, /* nodeGetFreeMemory */ }; -static virNetworkDriver openvzNetworkDriver = { - NULL, /* name */ - openvzOpenNetwork, /* open */ - openvzCloseNetwork, /* close */ - NULL, /* numOfNetworks */ - NULL, /* listNetworks */ - NULL, /* numOfDefinedNetworks */ - NULL, /* listDefinedNetworks */ - NULL, /* networkLookupByUUID */ - NULL, /* networkLookupByName */ - NULL, /* networkCreateXML */ - NULL, /* networkDefineXML */ - NULL, /* networkUndefine */ - NULL, /* networkCreate */ - NULL, /* networkDestroy */ - NULL, /* networkDumpXML */ - NULL, /* networkGetBridgeName */ - NULL, /* networkGetAutostart */ - NULL, /* networkSetAutostart */ -}; - static virStateDriver openvzStateDriver = { openvzStartup, openvzShutdown, @@ -801,7 +758,6 @@ static virStateDriver openvzStateDriver int openvzRegister(void) { virRegisterDriver(&openvzDriver); - virRegisterNetworkDriver(&openvzNetworkDriver); virRegisterStateDriver(&openvzStateDriver); return 0; } Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|

[Libvir] PATCH: Fix and cleanup ref counting/ domain/network object release
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

The referencing counting code for Connect/Domain/Network objects has many repeated codepaths, not all of which are correct. eg, the virFreeDomain method forgets to release networks when garbage collecting a virConnectPtr, and the virFreeNetwork method forgets to release domains. I've also found it very confusing having both virFreeDomain and virDomainFree. So I've changed the impl of the cleanup functions in hash.c to use a slightly different structure. There are now 6 functions: - virUnrefConnect - virReleaseConnect - virUnrefDomain - virReleaseDomain - virUnrefNetwork The 'virUnref*' APIs are intended for use by the drivers to decrement the ref count on objects they no loner need. In the virUnref* method, if the ref count hits zero, then it calls the corresponding virRelease* method to actually free the object's memory. The virUnref* methods are responsible for acquiring the connection mutex. The virRelease* method mandate that5D the mutex is already held, and will releae it as the very last step when deleting the object. The virReleaseDomain/virReleaeNetwork methods will also derecement the ref count of the connection, and call virReleaseConnection if appropriate. The patch for all this looks horrific but its not as bad as it looks, so I'd recommend reviewing the final code in hash.c, rather than the patch. I have also switched from xmlMutex to the POSIX standard pthread_mutex_t object. In theory the former may give more portability, but the patches which follow are also going to require actual pthread_t objects, for which libxml has no wrappers. Thus it is pointless using the xmlMutex abstraction. The added plus, is that pthread_mutex_t objects do not require any memory allocation, merely initialization of their pre-allocated contents so it simplifies a little code. Finally, the code in hash.c for dealing with ref counting seriously abused the 'goto' statement with multiple jumps overlapping each other in a single method. This made it very hard to follow. So I removed the use of goto in most places so its only used in error cleanup paths, and not for regular flow control. Oh, and in cleaning up internal.h I found an odd declaration of some functions from xs_internal.h which could have been made static. So I made them static. In this version I removed the call to 'virUnrefDomain' from the libvirt.c file's virDomainDestroy call, and likewise in virNetworkDestroy.

[Libvir] PATCH: const-correct sexpr
by Jim Meyering 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

I was looking at xend_internal.c and wondered why sexpr_int's sexpr pointer wasn't const... surely, it *can't* modify that, I thought. So I made it const, and pulled the thread, which ended up making most of the sexpr* parameters in sexpr.[ch] const. I added the few inevitable casts, but imho, that cost is far outweighed by having accurate prototypes for all of these functions.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Don't access line[-1] for a zero-length "line" from fgets.
by Jim Meyering 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

In reviewing the StorageAPI patches, I saw that some bogus input could cause a segfault. There's similar code in libvirt.c, so this fixes both. Note that virsh.c does this, too, but it already has the required guard. The src/libvirt.c patch applies to the trunk, but isn't a big deal, since it's in the sample AuthCallback function. The storage_backend.c part applies to the work-in-progress mercurial queue, but does matter, because we have no guarantee what the exec'd command will output. Don't access line[-1] for a zero-length "line" from fgets. A NUL byte at beginning of input, or just after a newline would provoke an invalid buf[-1] access (possible segfault). * src/libvirt.c (virConnectAuthCallbackDefault): * src/storage_backend.c (virStorageBackendRunProgRegex): Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com> --- src/libvirt.c | 6 ++++-- src/storage_backend.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libvirt.c b/src/libvirt.c index 2972382..331c937 100644 --- a/src/libvirt.c +++ b/src/libvirt.c @@ -74,6 +74,7 @@ static int virConnectAuthCallbackDefault(virConnectCredentialPtr cred, for (i = 0 ; i < ncred ; i++) { char buf[1024]; char *bufptr = buf; + size_t len; if (printf("%s:", cred[i].prompt) < 0) return -1; @@ -92,8 +93,9 @@ static int virConnectAuthCallbackDefault(virConnectCredentialPtr cred, } return -1; } - if (buf[strlen(buf)-1] == '\n') - buf[strlen(buf)-1] = '\0'; + len = strlen(buf); + if (len != 0 && buf[len-1] == '\n') + buf[len-1] = '\0'; break; case VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE: diff --git a/src/storage_backend.c b/src/storage_backend.c index 32a8d65..58d8642 100644 --- a/src/storage_backend.c +++ b/src/storage_backend.c @@ -338,7 +338,7 @@ int virStorageBackendRunProgRegex(virConnectPtr conn, while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), list) != NULL) { /* Strip trailing newline */ int len = strlen(line); - if (line[len-1] == '\n') + if (len && line[len-1] == '\n') line[len-1] = '\0'; for (i = 0 ; i <= maxReg && i < nregex ; i++) { -- 1.5.4.rc4.1.g1895

[Libvir] PATCH: Fix qemu-dm path in capabilities info
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

The current Xen capabilities XML data chooses between /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm and /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm based on whether the guest arch is 64 bit. This is incorrect because the path is actually determined based on the host OS. Only x86_64 uses /usr/lib64, all other arches just use /usr/lib - even on ia64. So this patch changes the logic so that /usr/lib64 is only used if we see an x86_64 guest present - this implies host is x86_64 and that all guests whether 32 or 64bit shoudl use /usr/lib64 Dan. diff -r 38f2abccef9b src/xen_internal.c --- a/src/xen_internal.c Sun Jan 20 11:28:37 2008 -0500 +++ b/src/xen_internal.c Sun Jan 20 12:36:23 2008 -0500 @@ -2186,6 +2186,7 @@ xenHypervisorMakeCapabilitiesXML(virConn int ia64_be; } guest_archs[32]; int nr_guest_archs = 0; + int lib64 = 0; virBufferPtr xml; char *xml_str; @@ -2261,6 +2262,7 @@ xenHypervisorMakeCapabilitiesXML(virConn else if (strncmp (&token[subs[2].rm_so], "x86_64", 6) == 0) { model = "x86_64"; bits = 64; + lib64 = 1; } else if (strncmp (&token[subs[2].rm_so], "ia64", 4) == 0) { model = "ia64"; @@ -2376,7 +2378,7 @@ xenHypervisorMakeCapabilitiesXML(virConn <machine>pc</machine>\n\ <machine>isapc</machine>\n\ <loader>/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader>\n", - guest_archs[i].bits == 64 ?

[Libvir] Dom0 and entitlement
by Katti, Vadiraj (STSD-Openview) 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi, I've some questions related to xen. Can anybody help me regarding the following questions. 1. Is dom0 a logical system(like any other vm's that are configured on it) ? If yes, then all xm commands should be applicable to it (ex : vcpu-set) . 2. /proc on dom0 reflects the physical or logical utilization. 3. Is there any entitelment concept in xen for cpu and memory? What is cpu weight used for and how is set. 4. virt-manager shows physical or logical utilization (cpu, memory) 5. How do i get the IP address of each of the guests from dom0 ? 6. What are the interfaces in domU to tell me that its a guest (or dom0) and also the type of virtualization ( eg. XEN/ VMWARE etc ) Thanks, Vadiraj
