[Libvir] [PATCH] Add virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory support to test driver
by Cole Robinson 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

The attached patch adds support for the command virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory to the test driver. The patch also moves numa cell information into the connection structure rather than hard coding it in GetCapabilities, so the memory values have some place to be stored, and so the driver can be expanded in the future to allow numa info to be specified by a test driver config file. Tested this to verify the capabilities xml is generated the same and that the GetCells command works as expected via the python bindings.

[Libvir] bug with vnc port/display#
by Vadim Zaliva 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

I think I see a bug in libvirt. Here is step-by-step instructions how to reproduce: 1. Create domain from XML (note vnc port): <domain type="xen"> <name>lvnc</name> <os> <type>linux</type> <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.43_FC5guest</kernel> <initrd>/boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.43_FC5guest.img</initrd> <root>/dev/sda1</root> <cmdline> ro selinux=0 3</cmdline> </os> <memory>10</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <graphics type="vnc" port="5905"/> </devices> </domain> 2. Examine s-expr definition: sudo /usr/sbin/xm list -l lvnc (domain (on_crash restart) (uuid 5c56456a-1f19-d996-35e3-f5e514b79601) (bootloader_args ) (vcpus 1) (name lvnc) (on_poweroff destroy) (on_reboot restart) (bootloader ) (maxmem 128) (memory 128) (shadow_memory 0) (features ) (on_xend_start ignore) (on_xend_stop ignore) (image (linux (kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.43_FC5guest) (ramdisk /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.43_FC5guest.img) (args 'root=/dev/sda1 ro selinux=0 3') (device_model /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm) ) ) (status 0) (device (vkbd (uuid c1ea89ea-903c-ba5b-603d-7b5c7bc25654))) (device (vfb (type vnc) (vncdisplay 5) (uuid bc92b909-8ca3-eece-8ef5-7551eaccda6e) ) ) ) So far, so good: vncdisplay 5 3. dumpxml lvnc <domain type='xen' id='-1'> <name>lvnc</name> <uuid>5c56456a-1f19-d996-35e3-f5e514b79601</uuid> <bootloader/> <os> <type>linux</type> <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.43_FC5guest</kernel> <initrd>/boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.43_FC5guest.img</initrd> <cmdline>root=/dev/sda1 ro selinux=0 3</cmdline> </os> <memory>131072</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm</emulator> <input type='mouse' bus='xen'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1'/> </devices> </domain> As you can see, port is now -1 instead of expected 5905. Looks like the problem around 'vncunused' variable handling in xml_internal.c. (I think it should be assigned 0 not 1 by default and if 'vncunused' config keyword is not found. I tried to fix it myself, but without much luck so far. By the way, what would be a good way to do logging in libvirt code?

[Libvir] Proposal for dealing with host devices
by Daniel P. Berrange 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

The following document illustrates an API for host device enumeration, creation and deletion. This has a number of use cases: - PCI passthrough. Need to enumerate PCI devices, get their domain, bus, slot, function IDs to be able to pass-though to a guest. Need to disable the host kernel driver. Need to get metadata about the device to present to the user, eg model / vendor. - USB passthrough. Need to enumerate USB devices, get their bus, device IDs to be able to pass-though to a guest. Need to disable the host kernel driver. Need to get metadata about the device to present to the user, eg model / vendor. - Fibre Channel. Need to enumerate SCSI HBAs with FC capability and get their WWNN and WWPN (World Wide Node/Port Name) to enable the administrator to associate with the SAN. This relates to the SCSI storage pool impl I posted last week - NPIV. Need to create/delete NPIV virtual Fibre Channel adapters. This relates to the SCSI storage pool impl I posted last week - Networking. Need to enumerate NICs, bridges, VLANs, bonding. This all sounds like alot of data / stuff to manage, but the good news is that there is already an application which does most of this for us. ie HAL. So at the basic level all we need to do is map the HAL properties into a libvirt XML format for describing devices. I have chosen to define a very direct mapping. - At the top level, "<device>" element - A short 'name' and longer 'key' both unique to host The key is the HAL 'udi' value - A 'parent' key to show nesting of devices. - Optional 'bus' information inside a <bus> element Bus names will map straight into HAL bus names. The content is bus specific - Optional 'capability' information inside one or more <capability> elements. NB a single device can provide several capabilites. Capability names will map straight onto HAL capability names. The content is capability specific. - Capabilities can be nested for specialization. eg a 'net' capability can have a '80211' sub-capability if it is a wifi device. Now some example XML descriptions.... An arbitrary PCI device <device> <name>pci_8086_27c5</name> <key>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_27c5</key> <parent>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer</parent> <bus type="pci"> <vendor id="32902">Intel Corporation</vendor> <product id="10202">82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller</product> <address domain="0000" bus="00" slot="1f" function="3"/> </bus> </device> An arbitrary USB device <device> <name>usb_device_483_2016_noserial</name> <key>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_483_2016_noserial</key> <parent>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_0_0_0000_00_1d_3</parent> <bus type="usb"> <vendor id="1155">SGS Thomson Microelectronics</vendor> <product id="8214">Fingerprint Reader</product> <address bus="003" dev="005"/> </bus> </device> A SCSI HBA <device> <name>pci_8086_27df_scsi_host</name> <key>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_27df_scsi_host</key> <parent>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_27df</parent> <capability type="scsihost"> <capability type="fc"> <address wwnn="023432532532632" wwpn="32453253252352"/> <vports max="4"/> </capability> </capability> </device> As an example, consider a wireless NIC <device> <name>net_00_13_02_b9_f9_d3_0</name> <key>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_13_02_b9_f9_d3_0</key> <parent>/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_4227</parent> <capability type="net"> <hwaddr>00:13:02:b9:f9:d3</hwaddr> <name>eth0</name> <capability type="80211"/> </capability> </device> Notice how the specific functional devices like NICs, HBAs, are children of the physical USB or PCI device. This is where the hierarchy comes in. There are a few other types of devices we want explicit representations for, block devices, sound devices, storage devices, input devices. I want describe them here, but they follow same pattern of mapping the XML onto the HAL properties in their <capability> tags. There are some devices HAL does not represent so we'll have to augment the HAL information. Specifically devices which don't correspond to a physical device, eg - Bonding NICs - Bridges - VLANs There are also cases where HAL does not have enough properties so we again need to augment the data - Fibre Channel / NPIV: Add WWPN, WWNN The API to deal with this is really very simple. APIs to query all devices, or query devices based on a capability, or bus type: int virNodeNumOfDevices(virConnectPtr conn) int virNodeListDevices(virConnectPtr conn, char **const names, int maxnames) int virNodeNumOfDevicesByCap(virConnectPtr conn, const char *cap) int virNodeListDevicesByCap(virConnectPtr conn, const char *cap, char **const names, int maxnames) int virNodeNumOfDevicesByBus(virConnectPtr conn, const char *bus) int virNodeListDevicesByBus(virConnectPtr conn, const char *bus, char **const names, int maxnames) Then APIs to obtain a virNodeDevicePtr object corresponding to a device name / key : virNodeDevicePtr virNodeDeviceLookupByName(virConnectPtr conn, const char *name) virNodeDevicePtr virNodeDeviceLookupByName(virConnectPtr conn, const char *key) int virNodeDeviceFree(virNodeDevicePtr dev) An API to get the XML description: char * virNodeDeviceDumpXML(virConnectPtr conn, unsigned int flags) Finally an API to create / delete devices - this is only for devices with certain capabilities virNodeDevicePtr virNodeDeviceCreate(virConnectPtr conn, const char *xml) int virNodeDeviceDestroy(virNodeDevicePtr dev) BTW if you want to see all the HAL metadata on your machine run lshal I don't propose to expose all the data - only specific properties we have immediate need for.

[Libvir] uuid of newly created domain
by Vadim Zaliva 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi! I am running into interesting problem with UUID. I am using Ruby bindings, but I think the problem is not specific to Ruby. I am doing roughly the following: dom = c.define_domain_xml(xml) dom1 = c.ookup_domain_by_uuid(dom.uuid) and I got an error that domain with given UUID is not found. If I print UUID of newly defined domain and compare it with output of 'dominfo' command in virsh I can see that it differs. Could anybody shed some light on why UUID returned by define_domain_xml() is invalid?

[Libvir] [PATCH] [RUBY-LIBVIRT]: Make the flags parameter optional
by Chris Lalancette 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

All, While using the ruby-libvirt bindings, I usually end up setting the "flags" parameter to various calls to 0. While this is required by the C side of things, for Ruby we have no such constraint; we can have methods with optional arguments. Since most of the time we will be passing "flags" as 0, we will just assume 0 if it isn't specified, and actually use the value in flags if it is. The attached patch does just that. Note that I've only tested about half of the calls in here; further breakage should be easy to find and fix. Also note that this should not impact existing users, since we will honor the flags they are already passing. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance(a)redhat.com>

[Libvir] patch: Domain.free() in Ruby bindings
by Vadim Zaliva 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Attached patch adds new method free() to Domain class. Invocation of this method calls virDomainFree(). After this call, all other calls to this domain object would fail. The purpose of this patch is to solve problem caused by libvirt caching, when creation of new domain from XML is re-using previous definition with the same name, if domain object associated with older definition have not been yet freed by Ruby garbage collector (see previous discussion in this mailing list for details). Sincerely, Vadim Zaliva P.S. I think Python bindings will need similar method as well. P.P.S. I have tested this patch, and I can see that it solves the problem I was facing.
