[libvirt] Changing test_driver.c file
by Arun Viswanath 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hi All, For some testing purpose I've changed some content in src/test/test_driver.c and then used "make" command to compile and build the code. Then I copied the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" file to the target machine and restart the libvirtd daemon, but the changes I made in test_driver.c is nothing reflected. I'm not sure whether I'm missing something. Is it moving only the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" is enough or I need to move some .a files ? , but I'm not seeing any ".a" in the kvm host related to libvirt to replace. Please provide me sufficient info to proceed further. Thanks In Advance, Arun V

[libvirt] [PATCH] fix a ambiguous output of the command:'virsh vol-create-as'
by Hongwei Bi 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

I created a storage volume(eg: test) from a storage pool(eg:vg10) using the following command:"virsh vol-create-as --pool vg10 --name test --capacity 300M." When I re-executed the above command, the output was as the following: "error: Failed to create vol test error: Storage volume not found: storage vol 'test' already exists" I think the output "Storage volume not found" is not appropriate. Because in fact storage vol test has been found at this time. And then I think virErrorNumber should includes VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST which can also be used elsewhere. So I make this patch. The result is as following: "error: Failed to create vol test error: storage volume 'test' exists already" --- include/libvirt/virterror.h | 1 + src/storage/storage_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/util/virerror.c | 6 ++++++ 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/libvirt/virterror.h b/include/libvirt/virterror.h index c1960c8..28ef30a 100644 --- a/include/libvirt/virterror.h +++ b/include/libvirt/virterror.h @@ -296,6 +296,7 @@ typedef enum { VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED = 88, /* operation on the object/resource was denied */ VIR_ERR_DBUS_SERVICE = 89, /* error from a dbus service */ + VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST = 90, /* the storage vol already exist */ } virErrorNumber; /** diff --git a/src/storage/storage_driver.c b/src/storage/storage_driver.c index 6c39284..aa5a144 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_driver.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_driver.c @@ -1538,8 +1538,8 @@ storageVolCreateXML(virStoragePoolPtr obj, goto cleanup; if (virStorageVolDefFindByName(pool, voldef->name)) { - virReportError(VIR_ERR_NO_STORAGE_VOL, - _("storage vol '%s' already exists"), voldef->name); + virReportError(VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST, + _("'%s'"), voldef->name); goto cleanup; } diff --git a/src/util/virerror.c b/src/util/virerror.c index ca25678..35bb017 100644 --- a/src/util/virerror.c +++ b/src/util/virerror.c @@ -1004,6 +1004,12 @@ virErrorMsg(virErrorNumber error, const char *info) else errmsg = _("Storage volume not found: %s"); break; + case VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST: + if (info == NULL) + errmsg = _("this storage volume exists already"); + else + errmsg = _("storage volume %s exists already"); + break; case VIR_ERR_STORAGE_PROBE_FAILED: if (info == NULL) errmsg = _("Storage pool probe failed"); -- 1.7.1

[libvirt] [PATCH] build: be smarter about building documentation
by Eric Blake 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

I'm tired of cryptic reports on IRC from people who build from git, then type 'make install' and have it fail quite a ways down the road because the documentation wasn't built. It's a feature that documentation is not built during development if the toolchain is not present (not all git developers build tarballs, and the tarballs already contain pre-built docs); but this only works as long as you don't try to install or make a tarball from that setup. With this patch in place, and without xhtml1-dtds, I now get this nice failure: $ make install cfg.mk:109: *** ERROR: missing doc toolchain (install xhtml1-dtds and xmllint). Stop. and all with no impact to regular 'make' or 'make check'. Along the way, I tried to discover why 'yum-builddeps libvirt' doesn't always tell developers to install xhtml1-dtds - my conclusion was that if the .srpm is unavailable, then yum-builddeps can't figure out anything that is required. The spec file already has a BuildRequires on the doc toolchain (and therefore, the docs shipped with an rpm are up-to-date, even if the spec file applied patches that affect the docs). So thankfully I don't have to make any spec file changes in this patch. * cfg.mk: Let 'make install' and 'make dist' error much earlier if we detect a build from git without doc toolchain.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] LXC: Detect fs support. Mount only supported filesystems
by Bogdan Purcareata 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Kept ((access(dstpath, R_OK) < 0) || (!lxcCheckFSSupport(mnt->type))) when determining support for the mount. Even if the filesystem type is supported, there is still a chance to fail when building the dstpath (virFileMakePath). If that call fails, starting the container will fail. Specifically encountered this problem for securityfs, as I was unable to mkdir /sys/kernel/security.
