[libvirt] [PATCH] Look in /usr/libexec for the qemu-kvm binary.
by Chris Lalancette 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

On RHEL-5 the qemu-kvm binary is located in /usr/libexec. To reduce confusion for people trying to run upstream libvirt on RHEL-5 machines, make the qemu driver look in /usr/libexec for the qemu-kvm binary.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemuMonitorTextGetMemoryStats: plug a leak on an error path
by Jim Meyering 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Coverity complained about a leak via this return -1 in qemu_monitor_text.c: int qemuMonitorTextGetMemoryStats(qemuMonitorPtr mon, virDomainMemoryStatPtr stats, unsigned int nr_stats) { char *reply = NULL; int ret = 0; char *offset; if (qemuMonitorCommand(mon, "info balloon", &reply) < 0) { qemudReportError(NULL, NULL, NULL, VIR_ERR_OPERATION_FAILED, "%s", _("could not query memory balloon statistics")); return -1; } That can happen because qemuMonitorCommand calls qemuMonitorCommandWithFd which calls qemuMonitorCommandWithHandler, which does this: 218 ret = qemuMonitorSend(mon, &msg); ... 228 if (msg.rxBuffer) { 229 *reply = msg.rxBuffer; 230 } else { 231 *reply = strdup(""); 232 if (!*reply) { 233 virReportOOMError(NULL); 234 return -1; 235 } 236 } 237 238 if (ret < 0) 239 virReportSystemError(NULL, msg.lastErrno, 240 _("cannot send monitor command '%s'"), cmd); 241 242 return ret; 243 } That function breaks contract by failing to free *reply when it returns a negative value.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/n] modernizing configure
by Eric Blake 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

I just built libvirt for the first time today, and noticed that configure fails on the first missing dependency, rather than trying harder to make it through and list all missing dependencies at the end. I ended up restarting configure multiple times. In the process, I also noticed that configure is somewhat out of date. So, what is the oldest version of autoconf and automake that libvirt will insist on supporting? For example, is it time to require automake 1.11.1 (the latest stable release) because of its security patch to avoid potential problems in 'make dist'? Or is it too soon to expect all distros to have an automake that new pre-installed, and more effort be put into supporting automake 1.9.6 and autoconf 2.59 (those being the implicit minimum requirements due to the use of gnulib)? Or somewhere in between? Meanwhile, how about this patch, for me getting my feet wet in helping to modernize the autotools usage, and hopefully leading up to future patches to make configure list all missing dependencies at once, rather than requiring multiple restarts.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Misc fixes to JSON/QMP mode for latest upstream QEMU
by Daniel P. Berrange 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Just some misc fixes to make QMP mode work again for latest upstreqam QEMU GIT. NB this is OK because QMP isn't declared stable yet & isn't enabled in libvirt

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix libvirtd restart for domains with PCI passthrough devices
by Chris Lalancette 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

When libvirtd shuts down, it places a <state/> tag in the XML state file it writes out for guests with PCI passthrough devices. For devices that are attached at bootup time, the state tag is empty. However, at libvirtd startup time, it ignores anything with a <state/> tag in the XML, effectively hiding the guest. I can think of at least 3 ways to fix this: 1) Don't throw an error on "unknown" tags in virDomainHostdevSubsysPciDefParseXML(). 2) Have virDomainLoadAllConfigs() pass the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_STATUS flag when parsing the domain XML. 3) Remove the check for VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_STATUS when parsing the XML. I chose approach 3). My reasoning for this is that the <state> tag is a legitimate part of the XML, so we should always offer to parse it. This fixes the problem with reconnecting to domains that have PCI passthrough devices.

[libvirt] esx: networkPtr not initialized
by Nimal I 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

hy, I'm tring to add a new API for getting the network info from ESX. I found out that I dont get a valid pointer for the networkPtr while initializing.(whereas DomainPtr is initialozed and gettting a valid pointer on a successfull connect itself). Can somebody let me know, what to do to initialize this pointer and further add a API for a netconfig. Thanks in Advance, -- Nimal.I
