[libvirt] building libvirt 1.0.2 without quite a few features - undefined reference to `curl_global_init'
by Thierry Parmentelat 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi there I'm trying to rebuild libvirt 1.0.2 on various targets - mostyl f16 and f18 for now I've started from the specfile that I found in this source rpm here http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-1.0.2-1.fc17.src.rpm in which I've mostly added without clauses : %define _without_storage_disk true %define _without_storage_iscsi true %define _without_storage_fs true %define _without_storage_lvm true %define _without_polkit true %define _without_sasl true %define _without_audit true %define _without_netcf true %define _without_avahi true %define _without_sanlock true %define _without_xen true %define _without_qemu true %define _without_hyperv true %define _without_phyp true %define _without_esx true %define _without_libxl true when building with these settings though, I'm facing this undefined error below; this happened on both f16 and f18 I take it there must be something slightly broken in the specfile logic, if anybody had a hint on how to address this is would be much appreciated For one thing I don't know how to get the real sentence behind this 'CCLD' thing, so I could check if libcurl (which I believe should provide that symbol) is mentioned or not.. CCLD libvirtd /longbuildroot/BUILD/libvirt-1.0.2/src/.libs/libvirt.so: undefined reference to `curl_global_init' many thanks in anticipation -- Thierry

[libvirt] libvirt testing with autotest
by Cole Robinson 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Recently I've been playing with virt autotest, which provides a number of qemu and libvirt functional tests. Here's some notes on how to get it running: The super short version of running the libvirt smoke tests on Fedora 18: yum install autotest-framework git clone git://github.com/autotest/virt-test.git autotest-virt-tests cd autotest-virt-tests ./libvirt/get_started.py ./run --type libvirt For me the default tests take under a minute. Output looks like: SETUP: PASS (1.00 s) DATA DIR: /home/crobinso/virt_test DEBUG LOG: /home/crobinso/src/autotest-virt-tests/logs/run-2013-02-11-14.21.47/debug.log TESTS: 28 (1/28) unattended_install.import.import: PASS (23.31 s) (2/28) virsh_domname.vm_state.vm_running.with_valid_option.domid: PASS (1.59 s) (3/28) virsh_domname.vm_state.vm_running.with_valid_option.uuid: PASS (0.47 s) ... (27/28) virsh_domname.with_libvirtd_stop.with_valid_option.uuid: PASS (0.55 s) (28/28) remove_guest.without_disk: PASS (6.77 s) TOTAL TIME: 42.30 s TESTS PASSED: 28 TESTS FAILED: 0 SUCCESS RATE: 100.00 % Now with a bit more detail. The first 4 steps are one time setup, though you will want to update autotest-virt-tests every now and then. The default set of libvirt tests import a VM with virt-install, verify that we can SSH in, run a bunch of virsh domname validation, and remove the guest. Logs are dumped into the autotest-virt-tests/logs directory. autotest-framework is just the client side piece. autotest also has a server component which has web UI, handles job scheduling, and tracks results in a database, but not needed for casual developer usage. virt-test.git is the repo that actually contains all the qemu and libvirt test cases. There are also tests for virt-v2v, libguestfs, ovirt, and openvswitch, but qemu and libvirt have the most tests by far. libvirt has 600 test cases, but many of these are just parameter validation matrices. libvirt TCK likely has more functional tests. All the code is in python. The libvirt test cases actually use virsh and not the python bindings. This was a deliberate choice to get better virsh coverage. The code is pretty nice so impl wise dealing with virsh isn't hard at all. ./libvirt/get_started.py is an interactive script that ensures needed dependencies are installed, and pulls down a pre made Fedora 17 jeos (just enough operating system) image. All the tests run against that image by default. ./run is how you'll interact with everything. The important invocations: # List all libvirt tests ./run --type libvirt --list-tests # Show all test debugging and stdout to the console ./run --verbose ... # Run only specific tests. The default libvirt set looks like ./run --type libvirt --tests "unattended_install.import.import virsh_domname remove_guest.without_disk" # See all options ./run --help Autotest has useful and simple infrastructure for logging in to virtual machines and running commands in there. So for doing end to end tests like verifying hotplug succeeded or verifying snapshots actually worked it seems quite handy. It can also assemble a video based on screenshots of the guest, so you can rewatch an install failure or similar. A few misc things: - The default libvirt tests seem to work fine as non-root, though every libvirt test is marked as 'root only'. I'm not sure what the practical effect of that is. - If you interrupt the tests, you'll have to destroy and undefine the 'autotest-vm1' VM, or next run will fail. If the test suite completes, it will clean up after itself. All this should be fixed. - There are migration tests for libvirt, but I haven't looked at them. - All the tests run against system installed libvirt. You can probably get around this by sticking /path/to/libvirt.git/tools in PATH, but some tests want to restart libvirtd so it isn't that simple. - Running the tests creates ~/virt_test and moves the F17 image there. If you move other media there they can be used for various install tests. You can override this with VIRT_TEST_DATA_DIR or ./run --data-dir, but IMO there should be a ~/.autotestconfig or something. - qemu also has a basic set of smoke tests that test migration, no extra config required. A custom qemu binary can be used with ./run --qemu-bin. Probably useful even for libvirt devs that are tracking upstream qemu, if you suspect qemu.git may be currently be broken. The virt-test wiki also has much more useful info: https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/wiki Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] libvirt-libxl driver defaulting to tap disk and not working (on Fedora 18 and rawhide)
by Dario Faggioli 20 Feb '13

Hi Jim, Everyone, I'm having some issues when trying out libvirt-libxl driver on my Fedora, bot on Fedora 18 and Fedorra rawhide (the former seems to be running 0.10.2.3, the later 1.0.2). Here's what happen: [root@localhost ~]# systemctl status xend.service xend.service - Xend - interface between hypervisor and some applications Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/xend.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) [root@localhost ~]# virt-install -l http://fedora.mirror.constant.com/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/ --ram 1024 --disk /dev/vms/F18_x64 --name F18_x64 Starting install...

Also (as it could have been expected, I guess) there is no way I can get it to work with a file backed VHD. Is all this supposed to happen? I haven't had the chance to try out the code from git yet, do you think it would make any difference? FYI, I've also opened this Fedora bugreport, about this very same issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912488 Thanks and Regards, Dario -- <<This happens because I choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D, http://about.me/dario.faggioli Senior Software Engineer, Citrix Systems R&D Ltd., Cambridge (UK)

[libvirt] libvirt-client leaks memory, Ubuntu and Debian-specific
by Igor Lukyanov 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hello. We faced a very strange leak while using libvirt library in long-running server application for cluster orchestration. Leak does not directly related to libvirt code and exposed only on specific build options (?) and/or system environment (?). Here are the key points: 1. Libvirt client leaks memory while making (RPC) calls to a server. I mean that RSS memory usage shown by ps, top, etc. indefinitely grows (plz check an attachment ps.log). Test app attached. 2. Leak detected on Debian and Ubuntu and absent on Mac OS and Gentoo, so it's exactly an environment or build problem. 3. Valgrind does not see the leak. From valgrind's point of view from start to finish application constantly consumes 110kb of memory (while ps shows multiple megabytes) and does not contain any leaks. 4. Logging activity of virMalloc, virRealloc, etc. functions does not show anything: as expected, all allocated memory is correctly freed, so it's definitely not a bug of code (we tested that before recognized that problem is distrib/platform specific). Some useful logs and test code attached. I think digging build options and legoing system libraries will help us to beat the problem but it would be nice if someone already had a working solution. Thank you for help.
