[libvirt] How to config my VM to use KVM with libvirt?
by Jun Koi 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hi, I have a VM running under libvirt, and it is currently run with -no-kvm option (I saw that in "ps" output). Now I want to run this VM with KVM. How can I reconfigure it for that? I looked into its configuration file under /etc/libvirt/qemu, but didnt see any option to turn KVM on. Thanks, J

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Fixes to some bugs encountered testing virInterface*
by Laine Stump 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

This series of patches fixes some problems I found while testing the virInterface implementation. Note that the 3rd patch in the series only fixes virInterface-related instances of the problem (releasing the conn lock before reporting errors). If that patch is approved, a similar thing must be done for several other functions in datatypes.c.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Release conn lock before reporting errors
by Laine Stump 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

This is a follow-on to 528d37. It's fixing several other cases in datatypes.c where we try to report an error while holding the conn's lock, which can't work because the error reporting also tries to lock the conn. --- src/datatypes.c | 133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/datatypes.c b/src/datatypes.c index ba5401d..c2030dd 100644 --- a/src/datatypes.c +++ b/src/datatypes.c @@ -270,11 +270,13 @@ virGetDomain(virConnectPtr conn, const char *name, const unsigned char *uuid) { /* TODO check the UUID */ if (ret == NULL) { if (VIR_ALLOC(ret) < 0) { + virMutexUnlock(&conn->lock);

[libvirt] managing libvirt users in a one-server context
by Juan Miscaro 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I have a single KVM server on which I want to allow co-workers the ability to create vm's. Here are my criteria in order of importance: 1. I do not want to have to grant all users root privileges. 2. I would like the vm's to use the host's bridge (br0) by default. 3. I do not want one user to be able to start, stop, or (re)define the vm's created by another user by default. 4. I would like a user to be able grant access to another user. Mostly for viewing. Can I do all this with hardcoded usernames and passwords? If not, what is my best option? -- /jm

Hi All, While reconnecting to vbox:///session, since the VBoxCGlueInit() is not intialized, the g_pfnGetFunctions is NULL and thus reconnection fails with SEGV. Fixed this in the patch below. Regards, Pritesh

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/1] RFC Fix problems with TLS connections & threading
by Daniel P. Berrange 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Even though we are not using gcrypt directly in any libvirt code, it turns out that we are responsible for initializing its thread support, since its used by gnutls. This really sucks in terms of library API encapsulation. It is also a little annoying if libvirt is used within an app that already uses gnutls/gcrypt, because there is no checking in gcrypt to see if threading ops are already set, so our call would override any pre-existing initialization, and an apps own call would override us. The only other option I see is to punt on the whole problem and declare apps are responsible for initializing gcrypt, but then this sucks too because it means apps have to presume we're built with gnutls, and not nss - not that we support nss currently. This bug only really impacts the libvirt client if using multiple virConnectPtr objects from separate threads with a TLS based URI. The server isn't impacted because all TLS I/O is done from the single I/O thread, and not any of the RPC workers. Daniel P.

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/14] Add support for qemu NIC hotplug
by Mark McLoughlin 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hey, Here's a series of patches to (mostly) support NIC hotplug with qemu 0.10.x or later. qemu-0.10.0 introduced the host_net_add monitor command without which we cannot do NIC hotplug, so we do not try and support hotplug with older versions of KVM. With qemu-0.11.0 we will be able to pass a tap file descriptor over the monitor, but until then we cannot support 'bridge' and 'network' type interfaces. A forthcoming patch series will rectify that. Cheers, Mark.
