[libvirt] Memory leak in node_device_conf.c
by Dave Allan 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

I found what I assume is a memory leak in the node device code while working on a separate problem; patch attached.

Although the public API has been in one release, there has been no functionality behind the API, so there's nobody using it as it is, and nobody is going to expect to use it as it is either. Because of that, "backward compatibility" isn't as much of an issue, and maybe we could let this modification to the API slide. 2) If we want to be really anal, we could modify virInterfaceLookupByMACString() to return an error if there are multiple interfaces with that particular MAC address, then provide a new function (name suggestion?) that would return a list of interfaces.

[libvirt] [PATCH] fix virsh dominfo returns error when virNodeGetSecurityModel() is not supported.
by Tatsuro Enokura 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hi all I try virsh dominfo in upstream libvirt on xen machine, the commands returns -1 as follows: [root@vmi20 ~]# virsh dominfo rhel53rc2_pv_sdb3 Id: 1 Name: rhel53rc2_pv_sdb3 UUID: 05ba9be8-f4e9-e208-11c7-fc936655cd8e OS Type: linux State: idle CPU(s): 2 CPU time: 8.8s Max memory: 1048576 kB Used memory: 716800 kB Autostart: disable error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virNodeGetSecurityModel [root@vmi20 ~]# echo $? 1 The explanation of virNodeGetSecurityModel() and virNodeGetSecurityModel() in libvirt.c is return -2 when hypervisor drivers don't support these operations. But these functions return -1 in this case, and so cmdDominfo() in virsh.c returns FALSE. I make a patch. - virNodeGetSecurityModel() and virNodeGetSecurityModel() return -2 when drivers don't supprted these operations. - In CmdDominfo(), it is no operation when virNodeGetSecurityModel() and virNodeGetSecurityModel() return -2.

[libvirt] [PATCH] OpenNebula driver changes
by Javier Fontan 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hello, The first patch makes OpenNebula driver compilable in recent codebase. The second one adds direct calls to xmlrpc library so it does not depend on OpenNebula libraries and can be licensed as LGPL. I have compiled libvirt with the modifications without errors but with the current version I checked out from git repository I am having problems: --8<------ (LD) -o libvirtd libvirtd-event.o libvirtd-qemud.o libvirtd-remote.o libvirtd-remote_protocol.o ../src/.libs/libvirt_driver_storage.a(storage_backend.o): In function `virStorageBackendWaitForDevices': /home/jfontan/git/libvirt.git/src/storage_backend.c:262: undefined reference to `virNodeDeviceWaitForDevices' ------>8-- Patches are made from 0a29f59e3b8e2c1fb797d2fa93831f21a3e1711e Bye -- Javier Fontan, Grid & Virtualization Technology Engineer/Researcher DSA Research Group: http://dsa-research.org Globus GridWay Metascheduler: http://www.GridWay.org OpenNebula Virtual Infrastructure Engine: http://www.OpenNebula.org

[libvirt] libvirt support for qemu downscript
by Shahar Klein 24 Jun '09

Hi I'm using virsh to launch a VM. the if-up script works perfectly but I couldn't find any reference to using down script I 'gueesed ' and put something like that: <interface type='ethernet'> . . <script path='ifup'/> <downscript path='ifdwon'/> . . </interface> but the down script is not called on shutdown am I missing something? thanks Shahar

[libvirt] virsh hangs
by Garry Dolley 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

My system: Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 libvirt 0.6.4 kvm 0.8.4 qemu 0.10.0 I'm not sure what triggered this, I was working with several VMs, and then found that virsh decided to hang: garry@kvr02:~$ virsh list Connecting to uri: qemu:///system <hang> I have to ^C out of it. If I 'force-stop' and then 'start' libvirt-bin: garry@kvr02:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin force-stop * Forcefully stopping libvirt management daemon libvirtd ...done. garry@kvr02:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin start * Starting libvirt management daemon libvirtd ...done. I can then get something: garry@kvr02:~$ virsh list Connecting to uri: qemu:///system Id Name State ---------------------------------- 1 vm1 running 4 s3-lax running 14 freebsd-test running 19 freebsd-2 running <hang> But it hangs after that 4th one. I must ^C it again. If I do 'virsh list' again, it'll then show nothing (hangs like it does above). Any suggestions?
