In fact we can do both pre-copy and post-copy block migration using streaming (+mirroring). Stefan

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Initialize GnuTLS
by Michal Privoznik 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

When spice_tls is set but listen_tls is not, we don't initialize GnuTLS library. So any later gnutls call (e.g. during migration, where we initialize a certificate) will access uninitialized GnuTLS internal structs and throws an error. Although, we might now initialize GnuTLS twice, it is safe according to the documentation: This function can be called many times, but will only do something the first time. --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 421a98e..5fe20b6 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/un.h> #include <byteswap.h> +#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> #include "qemu_driver.h" @@ -537,6 +538,15 @@ qemudStartup(int privileged) { } VIR_FREE(driverConf); + if (qemu_driver->spiceTLS) { + /* Initialize GnuTLS.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Libvirt-java event handling
by js＠alien8.de 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

From: Julian Stecklina <jsteckli(a)os.inf.tu-dresden.de> I noticed that event handling in the libvirt Java bindings is incomplete. The first patch adds required data types and constants. The second relaxes the visibility of the Domain constructor, otherwise Callbacks are kind of useless. Regards, Julian Julian Stecklina (2): Allow different types of callbacks (just as the C API). Allow to construct Domain objects from inside callbacks. src/main/java/org/libvirt/Connect.java | 3 ++- src/main/java/org/libvirt/Domain.java | 2 +- src/main/java/org/libvirt/jna/Libvirt.java | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.7.3.4

I can send you the patch anyway, it's a simple change... Use of JSON depends on which version of qemu you are running; if you are using Fedora 15 or newer, then JSON should automatically be in use.

[libvirt] [PATCH] conf: Do not load domain if the domain with same already exists
by Osier Yang 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

We don't allow to define domain with same name and different UUID, or with same UUID, so it's reasonable to not load the domain config if there is domain with same name already exists. Otherwise it can cause problem like: 1) % cp /etc/libvirt/qemu/dom.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/dom_diffuuid.xml 2) remove the line with "uuid" in the "dom_diffuuid.xml" 3) % for i in {1..10}; do kill -SIGHUP $(pidof libvirtd); done 4) % virsh list --all There will be 11 domains listed with the same name, as if there is no UUID specified in domain XML, libvirt will generate one for it, which will be definitely different with the original one. --- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index ce1f3c5..0bed929 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -10535,7 +10535,8 @@ static virDomainObjPtr virDomainLoadConfig(virCapsPtr caps, /* if the domain is already in our hashtable, we only need to * update the autostart flag */ - if ((dom = virDomainFindByUUID(doms, def->uuid))) { + if ((dom = virDomainFindByUUID(doms, def->uuid)) || + (dom = virDomainFindByName(doms, def->name))) { dom->autostart = autostart; VIR_FREE(configFile); -- 1.7.6
