[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Improve netlink to support all protocols.
by tangchen 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Now, netlink in libvirt only suport NETLINK_ROUTE protocol. But we need other netlinks, especially to support cpu and memory hotplug. These patches did the following things: 1) Change global variable "server" to an array to store all the netlink sockets, and modified all the API prototypes. 2) Introduce a new API virNetlinkEventServiceStopAll() to stop all netlink servers. 3) Modify all the function calls. Tang Chen (4): Improve netlink to support all protocol. Introduce virNetlinkEventServiceStopAll() to stop all netlink services in libvirt.

Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] vl: add -libvirt-caps option for libvirt to stop parsing help output

We've gone a long way with things like newer libvirt requiring QMP, and being able to use query-commands and even 'qemu -device ?' to figure out which devices are present, which is already more reliable than parsing -help output. There may still be a few things to fix (for example, I already pointed out that libvirt 0.9.13 is bogus for refusing to even attempt 'qemu -device,?' unless it guesses from '-help' output that it will work; it would be better to just attempt it in the first place and deal with the fallout), but it should be easy to fix in time for libvirt 0.10.0, and certainly coordinate things so that new enough libvirt comes out close to the time of qemu 1.2. > +++ b/libvirt-caps.c > @@ -0,0 +1,166 @@ > +/* > + * Libvirt capabilities > + * > + * Copyright IBM, Corp. 2012 > + * > + * Authors: > + * Anthony Liguori <aliguori(a)us.ibm.com> > + * > + * This work is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 2 or later. > + * See the COPYING file in the top-level directory. > + * > + */ > + > +#include "libvirt-caps.h" > +#include "qemu-common.h" > + > +/* Make sure this stays in sync with libvirt/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c */ This is the part I'm most worried about - it says that any time libvirt decides to flag a new capability that it cares about within qemu, then both libvirt and qemu have to be upgraded in lockstep to coordinate the use of that capability. The problem is that sometimes libvirt doesn't care about a capability until after qemu has already been released (for example, we didn't realize the power of fd: migration until several releases after qemu had first implemented it, at which point when we added the capability bit, we were able to retroactively detect it for several qemu versions by parsing -help). > + > +static const char *supported_caps[] = { > +// "kqemu", > + "vnc-colon", > + "no-reboot", > + "drive", > + "drive-boot", > + ... > + "drive-iotune", > + "system_wakeup", > + "scsi-disk.channel", > + "scsi-block", > + "transaction", > + > + NULL Already incomplete. For example, libvirt has recently added block-job-sync, block-job-async, scsi-cd, and several others. Thankfully, these days most of the new feature bits being added in libvirt's qemu_capabilities.h are related to things that were probed from 'qemu -device ?' or from QMP 'query-commands', and not from something additionally scraped from '-help' for the first time. I had to go back to libvirt commit 63b4243 (May 15) to find a capability that libvirt learned by scraping -help output (namely, support for -no-user-config). But yet this is one of the important config bits that libvirt really needs to know, and not one that can easily be learned from machine-parseable '-device ?' I'm worried that an interface like this will let libvirt know about the existing features that libvirt is trying to use, but will hurt the ability of adding new feature detection in to libvirt (basically, a newer libvirt wouldn't be able to retroactively take advantage of an older feature already present in older qemu without parsing some back-channel, at which point what good was having this libvirt-specific channel?). There's also another problem if we decide to keep this file synced across projects: > +++ b/libvirt-caps.h > @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ > +/* > + * Libvirt capabilities > + * > + * Copyright IBM, Corp. 2012 > + * > + * Authors: > + * Anthony Liguori <aliguori(a)us.ibm.com> > + * > + * This work is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 2 or later. > + * See the COPYING file in the top-level directory. Libvirt is LGPLv2+. You can obviously upgrade to GPLv2+ as part of importing the code from libvirt to qemu; but if you decide that a new feature is worth adding a bit to this file, then libvirt can't do the reverse sync unless you relax the license of this file. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Or don't use it. Libvirt folks can answer if this is feasible (CC'ing them), I'd guess it's not.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fixup manpage names and copyright dates
by Laine Stump 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

The copyright dates in the manpages haven't been updated in awhile. Also, when pod2man converts a pod file into a manpage, it will only remove the extension from the filename if it is ".pod". Some of the libvirt pod files are named *.pod.in, and that filename is placed unchanged into the manpage. This patch uses pod2man's --name option to fix that. Believe it or not, there's even a BZ for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819364 --- daemon/Makefile.am | 2 +- daemon/libvirtd.pod.in | 2 +- tools/Makefile.am | 8 ++++---- tools/virt-pki-validate.in | 2 +- tools/virt-xml-validate.in | 2 +- 5 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/Makefile.am b/daemon/Makefile.am index 74250f6..4c72b7b 100644 --- a/daemon/Makefile.am +++ b/daemon/Makefile.am @@ -376,7 +376,7 @@ POD2MAN = pod2man -c "Virtualization Support" \ -r "$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)" -s 8 $(srcdir)/libvirtd.8.in: libvirtd.pod.in - $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) $< $@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) --name LIBVIRTD $< $@ # This is needed for clients too, so can't wrap in # the WITH_LIBVIRTD conditional diff --git a/daemon/libvirtd.pod.in b/daemon/libvirtd.pod.in index ea6c37d..3ada67c 100644 --- a/daemon/libvirtd.pod.in +++ b/daemon/libvirtd.pod.in @@ -150,7 +150,7 @@ Please refer to the AUTHORS file distributed with libvirt. =head1 COPYRIGHT -Copyright (C) 2006-2010 Red Hat, Inc., and the authors listed in the +Copyright (C) 2006-2012 Red Hat, Inc., and the authors listed in the libvirt AUTHORS file. =head1 LICENSE diff --git a/tools/Makefile.am b/tools/Makefile.am index c82a2fb..723db8e 100644 --- a/tools/Makefile.am +++ b/tools/Makefile.am @@ -52,17 +52,17 @@ virt-xml-validate: virt-xml-validate.in Makefile || (rm $@ && exit 1) && chmod +x $@ virt-xml-validate.1: virt-xml-validate.in - $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) $< $(srcdir)/$@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) --name VIRT-XML-VALIDATE $< $(srcdir)/$@ virt-pki-validate: virt-pki-validate.in Makefile $(AM_V_GEN)sed -e 's,[@]SYSCONFDIR@,$(sysconfdir),' < $< > $@ \ || (rm $@ && exit 1) && chmod +x $@ virt-pki-validate.1: virt-pki-validate.in - $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) $< $(srcdir)/$@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) --name VIRT-PKI-VALIDATE $< $(srcdir)/$@ virt-host-validate.1: virt-host-validate.c - $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) $< $(srcdir)/$@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) --name VIRT-HOST-VALIDATE $< $(srcdir)/$@ virt-sanlock-cleanup: virt-sanlock-cleanup.in Makefile $(AM_V_GEN)sed -e 's,[@]SYSCONFDIR@,$(sysconfdir),' \ @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ virt-sanlock-cleanup: virt-sanlock-cleanup.in Makefile || (rm $@ && exit 1) && chmod +x $@ virt-sanlock-cleanup.8: virt-sanlock-cleanup.in - $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) $< $(srcdir)/$@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(POD2MAN) --name VIRT-SANLOCK-CLEANUP $< $(srcdir)/$@ virt_host_validate_SOURCES = \ virt-host-validate.c \ diff --git a/tools/virt-pki-validate.in b/tools/virt-pki-validate.in index 4164758..866a235 100755 --- a/tools/virt-pki-validate.in +++ b/tools/virt-pki-validate.in @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ Alternatively report bugs to your software distributor / vendor. =head1 COPYRIGHT -Copyright (C) 2006-2010 by Red Hat, Inc. +Copyright (C) 2006-2012 by Red Hat, Inc. =head1 LICENSE diff --git a/tools/virt-xml-validate.in b/tools/virt-xml-validate.in index 1959261..9ba3a0a 100644 --- a/tools/virt-xml-validate.in +++ b/tools/virt-xml-validate.in @@ -134,7 +134,7 @@ Alternatively report bugs to your software distributor / vendor. =head1 COPYRIGHT -Copyright (C) 2009-2010 by Red Hat, Inc. +Copyright (C) 2009-2012 by Red Hat, Inc.

[libvirt] [PATCH] selinux: Do not automatically label images of unconfined domains
by Jiri Denemark 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

When an unconfined domain is begin started, it doesn't make any sense to automatically relabel its disk images with the default label.
