[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Copy console definition from serial
by Michal Privoznik 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Now, when we support multiple consoles per domain, the vm->def->console[0] can still remain an alias for vm->def->serial[0]; However, we need to copy it's source definition as well otherwise we'll regress on virDomainOpenConsole. --- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.h | 2 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 19 +++++++++-- 4 files changed, 90 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index 6b78d97..9b2eb86 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -956,6 +956,78 @@ virDomainChrSourceDefClear(virDomainChrSourceDefPtr def) } } +int +virDomainChrSourceDefCopy(virDomainChrSourceDefPtr dest, + virDomainChrSourceDefPtr src) +{ + if (!dest || !src) + return -1; + + switch (src->type) { + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY: + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_DEV: + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_FILE: + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PIPE: + if (src->data.file.path && + !(dest->data.file.path = strdup(src->data.file.path))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + break; + + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_UDP: + if (src->data.udp.bindHost && + !(dest->data.udp.bindHost = strdup(src->data.udp.bindHost))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + + if (src->data.udp.bindService && + !(dest->data.udp.bindService = strdup(src->data.udp.bindService))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + + if (src->data.udp.connectHost && + !(dest->data.udp.connectHost = strdup(src->data.udp.connectHost))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + + + if (src->data.udp.connectService && + !(dest->data.udp.connectService = strdup(src->data.udp.connectService))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + break; + + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_TCP: + if (src->data.tcp.host && + !(dest->data.tcp.host = strdup(src->data.tcp.host))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + + if (src->data.tcp.service && + !(dest->data.tcp.service = strdup(src->data.tcp.service))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + break; + + case VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_UNIX: + if (src->data.nix.path && + !(dest->data.nix.path = strdup(src->data.nix.path))) { + virReportOOMError(); + return -1; + } + break; + } + + return 0; +} + void virDomainChrSourceDefFree(virDomainChrSourceDefPtr def) { if (!def) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.h b/src/conf/domain_conf.h index c360674..76a8dd7 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.h +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.h @@ -1662,6 +1662,8 @@ void virDomainNetDefFree(virDomainNetDefPtr def); void virDomainSmartcardDefFree(virDomainSmartcardDefPtr def); void virDomainChrDefFree(virDomainChrDefPtr def); void virDomainChrSourceDefFree(virDomainChrSourceDefPtr def); +int virDomainChrSourceDefCopy(virDomainChrSourceDefPtr src, + virDomainChrSourceDefPtr dest); void virDomainSoundDefFree(virDomainSoundDefPtr def); void virDomainMemballoonDefFree(virDomainMemballoonDefPtr def); void virDomainWatchdogDefFree(virDomainWatchdogDefPtr def); diff --git a/src/libvirt_private.syms b/src/libvirt_private.syms index b9d537e..e6ccf9d 100644 --- a/src/libvirt_private.syms +++ b/src/libvirt_private.syms @@ -242,6 +242,7 @@ virDomainChrConsoleTargetTypeToString; virDomainChrDefForeach; virDomainChrDefFree; virDomainChrDefNew; +virDomainChrSourceDefCopy; virDomainChrSourceDefFree; virDomainChrSpicevmcTypeFromString; virDomainChrSpicevmcTypeToString; diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c index 2882ef8..e0b1824 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c @@ -1163,11 +1163,22 @@ qemuProcessFindCharDevicePTYs(virDomainObjPtr vm, for (i = 0 ; i < vm->def->nconsoles ; i++) { virDomainChrDefPtr chr = vm->def->consoles[i]; - if (chr->source.type == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY && - chr->targetType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_VIRTIO) { - if ((ret = qemuProcessExtractTTYPath(output, &offset, - &chr->source.data.file.path)) != 0) + /* For historical reasons, console[0] can be just an alias + * for serial[0]; That's why we need to update it as well */ + if (i == 0 && vm->def->nserials && + chr->deviceType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_DEVICE_TYPE_CONSOLE && + chr->targetType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_SERIAL) { + if ((ret = virDomainChrSourceDefCopy(&chr->source, + &((vm->def->serials[0])->source))) != 0) return ret; + chr->source.type = VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY; + } else { + if (chr->source.type == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY && + chr->targetType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_VIRTIO) { + if ((ret = qemuProcessExtractTTYPath(output, &offset, + &chr->source.data.file.path)) != 0) + return ret; + } } } -- 1.7.3.4

[libvirt] Per-guest configurable user/group for QEMU processes
by Marcelo Cerri 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hi, I'm starting working on an improvement for libvirt to be able to support per-guest configurable user and group IDs for QEMU processes. Currently, libvirt uses a configurable pair of user and group, which is defined in qemu.conf, for all qemu processes when running in privileged mode. This topic was already commented in qemu mailing list (http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-10/msg00758.html) but, as this requires changes in libvirt API, I'd like to discuss what would be the best solution for it. A solution (as proposed in the link above) would be to extend the security driver model to allow multiple drivers. In this case, an example of the XML definition would be: ... <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c633,c712</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c633,c712</imagelabel> </seclabel> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac'> <label>102:102</label> <imagelabel>102:102</imagelabel> </seclabel> ... I don't know if this is a clean solution because the usual option would be to enclose the block above in a "<seclabels>" tag. But as this would break the actual API, it's not viable. Another option is to expose the stack security driver that already exists internally in libvirt (maybe extending it to support more than two security drivers): ... <seclabel type='stack'> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c633,c712</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c633,c712</imagelabel> </seclabel> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac'> <label>102:102</label> <imagelabel>102:102</imagelabel> </seclabel> </seclabel> ... In that case, a nested seclabel only would be allowed when type='stack'. Independently of how multiple security drivers can be expressed in the XML, another problem would be how functions as virDomainGetSecurityLabel should behave. A third option is to just not support multiple security drivers and include a new tag for DAC: ... <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c633,c712</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c633,c712</imagelabel> </seclabel> <dac process='102:102' image='102:102'/> ... Please let me know your opinions about this topic. Regards, Marcelo

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5 0/1 0/1 V3] Add new public API virDomainGetPcpusUsage() and pcpuinfo command in virsh
by Lai Jiangshan 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

"virt-top -1" can call virDomainGetPcpusUsage() periodically and get the CPU activities per CPU. (See the last patch in this series). virsh is also added a pcpuinfo command which calls virDomainGetPcpusUsage(), it gets information about the physical CPUs, such as the usage of CPUs, the current attached vCPUs. # virsh pcpuinfo rhel6 CPU: 0 Curr VCPU: - Usage: 47.3 CPU: 1 Curr VCPU: 1 Usage: 46.8 CPU: 2 Curr VCPU: 0 Usage: 52.7 CPU: 3 Curr VCPU: - Usage: 44.1 Changed from V2: Simple cleanup Add python implementation of virDomainGetPcpusUsage() Acked-by: "Richard W.M.

[libvirt] [PATCH RFC]: Support numad
by Osier Yang 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources. More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad "numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad provides currently. This patch add the support by introducing new XML like: <numatune> <cpu required_cpus="4" required_memory="524288"/> </numatune> And the corresponding numad command line will be: numad -w 4:500 The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity). If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g. (<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and XML indicating to use numad for the advisory nodeset, the specified CPU affinity will be overridden by the nodeset returned from numad. If no XML to specify the CPU affinity policy, and XML indicating to use numad is specified, the returned nodeset will be printed in <cpu cpuset="$nodeset_from_numad"/>4</vcpu>. Only QEMU/KVM and LXC drivers support it now. --- configure.ac | 8 +++ docs/formatdomain.html.in | 18 ++++++- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 12 ++++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 125 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 5 ++ src/lxc/lxc_controller.c | 98 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 99 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 7 files changed, 311 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index c9cdd7b..31f0835 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -1445,6 +1445,14 @@ AM_CONDITIONAL([HAVE_NUMACTL], [test "$with_numactl" != "no"]) AC_SUBST([NUMACTL_CFLAGS]) AC_SUBST([NUMACTL_LIBS]) +dnl Do we have numad? +if test "$with_qemu" = "yes"; then + AC_PATH_PROG([NUMAD], [numad], [], [/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH]) + + if test -n "$NUMAD"; then + AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([NUMAD],["$NUMAD"], [Location or name of the numad program]) + fi +fi dnl pcap lib LIBPCAP_CONFIG="pcap-config" diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.html.in b/docs/formatdomain.html.in index 6fcca94..d8e70a6 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.html.in +++ b/docs/formatdomain.html.in @@ -505,6 +505,7 @@ ... <numatune> <memory mode="strict" nodeset="1-4,^3"/> + <cpu required_cpus="3" required_memory="524288"/> </numatune> ... </domain> @@ -519,7 +520,7 @@ Since 0.9.3 <dt><code>memory</code></dt> <dd> - The optional <code>memory</code> element specify how to allocate memory + The optional <code>memory</code> element specifies how to allocate memory for the domain process on a NUMA host.

[libvirt] [PATCHv2 00/17] Support for <interface type='hostdev'>
by Laine Stump 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

This series of patches enhances the <interface device to support a sort of "intelligent hostdev", i.e. PCI passthrough where device-type specific initialization is done prior to assigning the device to the guest, in particular to allow setting the MAC address and do 802.1QbX setup for network devices. The first posting of this patch only supported parsing and formatting of these devices. This version also supports them in persistent config, as well as hotplug (both persistent and live-only). The only piece that isn't in this patchset (because it is coming from another author) is the code that actually Rather than adding all of the device-type specific config to <hostdev>, this is accomplished through adding a new type of <interface> element, type='hostdev'. When an interface is type='hostdev' the following is changed: * in the toplevel device, the managed attribute can be specified (with identical results as when it's specified in a <hostdev> * The <source> element can specify a pci address or usb address, just as can be done in <hostdev>. One notable difference is that the type of the address is specified directly in the source <address> element, rather than as an attribute of the toplevel device (that's how it's done for <hostdev>, but for <interface>, the toplevel element's type attribute is already used). NB: a type=hostdev interface will reside in both the interface list (for configuration and memory management) and hostdev list (for PCI attach/detach, and tracking of which devices are assigned)). This entire series is available on gitorious: git://gitorious.org/~laine/libvirt/laine-staging.git in the "passthrough8" branch. Patches 1-7, 9-12, and 15-16 are just setup for the new functionality - they reorder and refactor existing code to allow greater re-use of existing code and easier plugin of the new code. Those marked with "X" are unchanged from V1 (as far as my git logs tell me). Those marked "+" are new patches that weren't in V1. + [PATCH 01/17] conf: add missing device types to [PATCH 02/17] conf: relocate virDomainDeviceDef and X [PATCH 03/17] conf: reorder static functions in domain_conf.c + [PATCH 04/17] qemu: rename virDomainDeviceInfoPtr variables to avoid + [PATCH 05/17] conf: add device pointer to args of [PATCH 06/17] conf: make hostdev info a separate object X [PATCH 07/17] conf: HostdevDef parse/format helper functions + [PATCH 09/17] conf: put subsys part of virDomainHostdevDef into its + [PATCH 10/17] conf: hostdev utility functions + [PATCH 11/17] qemu: re-order functions in qemu_hotplug.c + [PATCH 12/17] qemu: refactor hotplug detach of hostdevs + [PATCH 15/17] conf: change virDomainNetRemove from static to global + [PATCH 16/17] qemu: use virDomainNetRemove instead of inline code Patch 8 is just a couple lines: [PATCH 08/17] conf: give each hostdevdef a parent pointer [PATCH 13/17] conf: parse/format type='hostdev' network interfaces + [PATCH 14/17] qemu: support type='hostdev' network devices at domain start + [PATCH 17/17] qemu: support type=hostdev network device live hotplug

[libvirt] [PATCH] Use the same MAC address that is defined in domain XML for attached-mac field.
by Ansis Atteka 02 Mar '12

Currently libvirt sets the attached-mac to altered MAC address that has first byte set to FE.

[libvirt] Downloading and wiping assumes volume is a device or file
by Wido den Hollander 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi, I'm still working on the RBD (RADOS / Ceph) storage driver for libvirt and I noticed the virStorageVolDownload and virStorageVolWipe methods. I assumed those would be passed on to the storage backend, but it doesn't. In the storageDriver the method storageVolumeDownload simply opens a file descriptor and reads the device. Until now libvirt only had support for storage drivers who presented regular files or block devices, but RBD doesn't. (Well, RBD could, but I'm currently going for Qemu-RBD). In the future we might see more storage drivers in libvirt for a project like Sheepdog as well. Sheepdog and RBD both have drivers in Qemu. What would the way be to approach this? Should the download, upload and wipe methods be moved to the storage backends? There could also be an exception? If virStoragePoolType matches VIR_STORAGE_POOL_RBD or VIR_STORAGE_POOL_SHEEPDOG the storage backend could be invoked instead of opening the file descriptor? Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Wido
