[libvirt] [PATCH] Introduce a -libvirt-caps flag as a stop-gap
by Anthony Liguori 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Today libvirt parses -help output to attempt to enumerate capabilities. This is very broken and has led to multiple failures. Since libvirt is an important management interface to QEMU, we need to do a better job giving them the ability to detect what a QEMU executable supports. Right now, we keep fixing up help output to appease it's parsing code but this is undesirable. The Right Solution is to introduce a robust capabilities advertisement that enumerates every feature we have. As with most Right Solutions, we don't have mergable code today and it's unclear that we'll get there by the next release. This patch introduces an incremental solution of just spitting out the handful of capabilities libvirt is probing for today. This interface will need to remain forever but can stop being updated once we have a Right Solution.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] libvirt-guests: fix init script to Fedora standards
by Eric Blake 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617300 documents several shortcoming in our libvirt-guests init script, in relation to Fedora init script standards. For easier review, I've split it into three simpler patches.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Allow setting boot menu on/off
by Cole Robinson 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Add a new element to the <os> block: <bootmenu enable="yes|no"/> Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line. I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element as 'use hypervisor default'.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Error on unsupported graphics config

[libvirt] [PATCH] libvirt-guests: Don't throw errors if libvirtd is not installed
by Jiri Denemark 27 Jul '10

When only client parts of libvirt are installed (i.e., no libvirtd daemon), libvirt-guests init script in its default configuration would throw seriously looking errors during host shutdown: Running guests on default URI: error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor This patch changes the script to print rather harmless message in that situation: Running guests on default URI: libvirtd not installed; skipping this URI. --- daemon/libvirt-guests.init.in | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/libvirt-guests.init.in b/daemon/libvirt-guests.init.in index f99c070..d2ec96a 100644 --- a/daemon/libvirt-guests.init.in +++ b/daemon/libvirt-guests.init.in @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ sysconfdir=@sysconfdir@ localstatedir=@localstatedir@ +libvirtd=@sbindir@/libvirtd # Source function library. .

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] qemu: support virtio console
by Cole Robinson 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

The following series adds virtio console XML and qemu driver support. The first 3 patches are just cleanups/improvements. Patch 4 adds XML support for more than 1 console device (not strictly required for virtio console, but it's a valid use case). Patch 5 actually adds virtio console support. Thanks, Cole Cole Robinson (5): docs: domain: Document virtio <channel> domain conf: Rename character prop targetType -> deviceType domain conf: char: Add an explicit targetType field domain conf: Support multiple <console> devices qemu: virtio console support docs/formatdomain.html.in | 31 +++- docs/schemas/domain.rng | 14 ++- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 192 ++++++++++++-------- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 26 ++- src/esx/esx_vmx.c | 4 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 8 +- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 48 +++++- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 3 +- src/uml/uml_conf.c | 4 +- src/uml/uml_driver.c | 6 +- src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c | 4 +- src/xen/xend_internal.c | 16 ++- src/xen/xm_internal.c | 19 ++- .../qemuxml2argv-console-virtio.args | 1 + .../qemuxml2argv-console-virtio.xml | 30 +++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 2 + .../xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-pv-multi-console.sexpr | 1 + tests/xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-pv-multi-console.xml | 24 +++ tests/xml2sexprtest.c | 1 + 20 files changed, 324 insertions(+), 111 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-console-virtio.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-console-virtio.xml create mode 100644 tests/xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-pv-multi-console.sexpr create mode 100644 tests/xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-pv-multi-console.xml

[libvirt] [PATCH] Invert logic for checking for QEMU disk cache options
by Daniel P. Berrange 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

QEMU has had two different syntax for disk cache options Old: on|off New: writeback|writethrough|none QEMU recently added another 'unsafe' option which broke the libvirt check. We can avoid this & future breakage, if we do a negative check for the old syntax, instead of a positive check for the new syntax * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Invert cache option check --- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c b/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c index 0dbab48..db60ca3 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c @@ -1170,7 +1170,8 @@ static unsigned long long qemudComputeCmdFlags(const char *help, flags |= QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DOMID; if (strstr(help, "-drive")) { flags |= QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DRIVE; - if (strstr(help, "cache=writethrough|writeback|none")) + if (strstr(help, "cache=") && + !strstr(help, "cache=on|off")) flags |= QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DRIVE_CACHE_V2; if (strstr(help, "format=")) flags |= QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DRIVE_FORMAT; -- 1.7.1.1
