[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix sexpr2string() to handle empty list
by Jim Fehlig 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Finally have some time to submit this small patch for a bug I'm seeing with Xen 3.3.1. If s-expression returned by xend contains an empty list, sexpr2string() failed to serialize it. E.g. sexpr containing (cpus (()())) would cause sexpr2string() to fail. I spoke with danpb on IRC about this bug and he suggested adding a XML/sexpr pair that exhibits the problem to tests/xml2sexprtest.c. I can easily produce the sexpr but not the case with XML. The empty cpus lists indicate no explicit affinity and AFAIK the only way to express this in XML is absence of cpuset attribute in vcpu element. But IMO we should not produce the (cpus (()()...)) sexpr in this case. It should only be produced when user has explicitly specified affinity. Does this sound reasonable? Regards, Jim

[libvirt] Save & Restore Synchronization
by Erkan Unal 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hi, I am using libvirt for qemu/kvm. I have following questions in terms of save and restore (Version 0.6.2): 1) As I checked the libvirt code, restore command is asynchronous. There is a macro called VIR_EXEC_NONBLOCK but there is no macro called VIR_EXEC_BLOCK. Is it possible to execute the restore in blocking mode so that I can measure the whole restore time? 2) I tried to measure the time spent to save the VM. I am executing save command and getting a timing. However when I execute the following operations in order I got an error right after script issues the restore operation (No delay between them): "save->restore->save" ... the error is: 20:19:02.478: error : internal error Unable to open monitor path /dev/pts/3 libvir: QEMU error : internal error Unable to open monitor path /dev/pts/3 20:19:02.478: error : internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 inet_listen: bind(ipv4,127.0.0.1,5912): Address already in use inet_listen: FAILED libvir: QEMU error : internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 inet_listen: bind(ipv4,127.0.0.1,5912): Address already in use inet_listen: FAILED 20:19:02.482: error : operation failed: failed to start VM libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: failed to start VM error: Failed to restore domain from /path/to/the/save/file error: operation failed: failed to start VM (You can find the detailed error report in the attachement when LIBVIRT_DEBUG flag is 1) I think that some of the cleanup is non-blocking which are cleanup of pty device and vncserver. However, I am not sure if destroying the qemu process is asynchronous?? P.S.: If I put one second delay between first save and restore, there is no error. Save and restore work fine.

[libvirt] libvirt socket closed unexpectedly / libvirt broken pipe

Hello, I'm trying to get eucalyptus v1.5.2 working with debian lenny, the relevant versions of libvirt software installed are from the apt-get repos, which are: # dpkg -l|grep libvirt ii libvirt-bin 0.4.6-10 the programs for the libvirt library ii libvirt0 0.4.6-10 library for interfacing with different virtualization systems The the conf file looks like so: # cat libvirtd.conf|grep -v '#' unix_sock_group = "libvirt" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" ----- my eucalyptus nc.log has the following error, which i believe is the issue, basically any instance i start, terminates about a minute later by itself, any guidance or help is much appreciated [Sat Aug 15 03:20:41 2009][004602][EUCAERROR ] libvirt: socket closed unexpectedly (code=39) [Sat Aug 15 03:20:43 2009][004602][EUCAERROR ] libvirt: Broken pipe (code=38) thoughts? ideas?

[libvirt] [PATCH] Allow libvirtd to RPC to external libvirtd.
by Chris Lalancette 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Allow the daemon itself to make RPCs to an external libvirtd, but only if the URI is fully specified. While this isn't used at the moment, it will be for the tunnelled migration support in the future.

[libvirt] On pidfile security and using -daemonize to start qemu/kvm
by Charles Duffy 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

I had a brief conversation with Daniel Berrange on IRC this morning regarding race conditions in libvirt's invocation of qemu domains. The preferred approach from qemu's maintainership is using -daemonize at invocation, and then waiting for the process to exit before attempting to connect to the monitor; after this occurs, qemu guarantees monitor availability, so no retry/timeout behavior is necessary. Dan pointed out an issue with this approach: To determine the PID of the qemu instance started, the -pidfile argument to qemu needs to be used with -daemonize. However, -pidfile writes the requested pidfile with qemu's permissions; if the guest were subverted, it could rewrite its pidfile and lead libvirt to kill other, arbitrary processes. Neither changing permissions with -runas rather than prior to invocation nor chown'ing the pidfile from libvirt after creation helps, as qemu keeps a file handle on it open throughout operation (to maintain a POSIX lock on the file). However, a workaround exists, and it meshes well with a security fix which needs to be implemented anyhow: At present, on initial startup or libvirtd restart, we read the PIDs associated with vCPUs from the monitor in virDetectVcpuPIDs(); doing this on libvirtd restart poses a security risk for the reason given above, so we need to have libvirtd record the PIDs on initial startup (before any untrusted code within the guest is ever run) regardless. If we also read the libvirtd pidfile at this same early time (before the guest has been started and thus had an opportunity to run untrusted code) and include its contents when writing out the vCPU PIDs, this would eliminate the issue with pidfile ownership blocking use of -daemonize. Thoughts?

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] QEMU directory/monitor socket fixes/cleanup
by Daniel P. Berrange 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

This patch series does three things - Moves QEMU monitor sockets in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu, since this is created file and thus should be separate from libvirtd created data to avoid risk from QEMU compromise. - Sets QEMU directory ownership to match configured qemu user/group - Fixes a minor memory leak / socket unlink

Hi All, I have made some changes to the functions vboxNetworkCreateXML(), vboxNetworkDefineXML(), vboxNetworkUndefine() and vboxNetworkDestroy() to handle multiple host only interfaces as multiple host only interfaces are supported by VirtualBox 3.0 and greater. The patch's are as below: PATCH 1/2: Merged vboxNetworkCreateXML() and vboxNetworkDefineXML() and added code to handle multiple hostonly interfaces. PATCH 2/2: Merged vboxNetworkUndefine() and vboxNetworkDestroy() and added code to handle multiple hostonly interfaces. Regards, Pritesh
