[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix error report from nl_recvmsg
by Daniel P. Berrange 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com> The nl_recvmsg does not always set errno. Instead it returns its own custom set of error codes.

We've already declared that -help output is no longer guaranteed stable, so this doesn't really impact libvirt, but would it make any more sense to list this as two orthogonal entries, to make it clear that they don't mix? -boot order=drivers[,once=drives]... -boot strict=on|off[,menu=on|off]... But this is all bikeshedding, so it's not worth a v3 if you disagree. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[libvirt] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.0.3
by Daniel Veillard 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I have just tagged git and pushed the tarball. The rpms for F17 are following too at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I gave a try to the set of rpms and this seems to work fine for relatively simple tests, but of course more testing and checking on other architectures is needed ! If everything goes fine, I will make an rc2 in a couple of days and then we can decide if a final release on Friday is fine or if we need to postpone to next week, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[libvirt] libvirt accidentally destroys guests after being restarted

Hello. We notice a very upsetting behavior of how libvirtd deals with running domains after being restarted. Namely, in 10-20s after start libvirtd may accidentally kill a random number of running (qemu) domains with SIGTERM.

[libvirt] VG backed storage pool start behavior.
by Luke Varnadore 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Libvirt 1.0.2-3 I am unable to use vg storage pools that are shared with the host. I was able to do this without issue an update before this one. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior. I am on an Arch Linux system but I can't see why that would matter yet. Here is the error I get when trying to start a pool defined from the shared VG that my host, and guests share: Error starting pool 'vg_nimbus': internal error Child process (/sbin/vgchange -aln vg_nimbus) unexpected exit status 5: Can't deactivate volume group "vg_nimbus" with 7 open logical volume(s) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 96, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 117, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/storagepool.py", line 64, in start self.pool.create(0) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2360, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virStoragePoolCreate() failed', pool=self) libvirtError: internal error Child process (/sbin/vgchange -aln vg_nimbus) unexpected exit status 5: Can't deactivate volume group "vg_nimbus" with 7 open logical volume(s) I can still carry on using lvs manually (without storage pools) to run my guests and host lvs. -- Luke W Varnadore

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: enable direct migration over IPv6
by Ján Tomko 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Use virURIParse in qemuMigrationPrepareDirect to allow parsing IPv6 addresses, which would cause an 'incorrect :port' error message before. To be able to migrate over IPv6, QEMU needs to listen on [::] instead of 0.0.0.0. This patch adds a call to getaddrinfo and sets the listen address based on the result. This will break migration if a hostname that can only be resolved on the source machine is passed in the migration URI, or if it does not resolve to the same address family on both sides.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] virnetdevmacvlan.c: Introduce mutex for macvlan creation
by Michal Privoznik 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Currently, after we removed the qemu driver lock, it may happen that two or more threads will start up a machine with macvlan and race over virNetDevMacVLanCreateWithVPortProfile(). However, there's a racy section in which we are generating a sequence of possible device names and detecting if they exits. If we found one which doesn't we try to create a device with that name. However, the other thread is doing just the same. Assume it will succeed and we must therefore fail. If this happens more than 5 times (which in massive parallel startup surely will) we return -1 without any error reported. This patch is a simple hack to both of these problems. It introduces a mutex, so only one thread will enter the section, and if it runs out of possibilities, error is reported. Moreover, the number of retries is raised to 20. --- diff to v1: -don't increase @retries -move error reporting to virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutexOnceInit src/util/virnetdevmacvlan.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/virnetdevmacvlan.c b/src/util/virnetdevmacvlan.c index a74db1e..ddea11f 100644 --- a/src/util/virnetdevmacvlan.c +++ b/src/util/virnetdevmacvlan.c @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ #include "virmacaddr.h" #include "virutil.h" #include "virerror.h" +#include "virthread.h" #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_NET @@ -71,6 +72,19 @@ VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virNetDevMacVLanMode, VIR_NETDEV_MACVLAN_MODE_LAST, # define MACVLAN_NAME_PREFIX "macvlan" # define MACVLAN_NAME_PATTERN "macvlan%d" +virMutex virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex; + +static int virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutexOnceInit(void) +{ + if (virMutexInit(&virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex) < 0) { + virReportSystemError(errno, "%s", _("unable to init mutex")); + return -1; + } + return 0; +} + +VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex); + /** * virNetDevMacVLanCreate: * @@ -829,7 +843,7 @@ int virNetDevMacVLanCreateWithVPortProfile(const char *tgifname, char ifname[IFNAMSIZ]; int retries, do_retry = 0; uint32_t macvtapMode; - const char *cr_ifname; + const char *cr_ifname = NULL; int ret; int vf = -1; @@ -871,22 +885,35 @@ int virNetDevMacVLanCreateWithVPortProfile(const char *tgifname, } else { create_name: retries = 5; + if (virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutexInitialize() < 0) + return -1; + virMutexLock(&virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex); for (c = 0; c < 8192; c++) { snprintf(ifname, sizeof(ifname), pattern, c); - if ((ret = virNetDevExists(ifname)) < 0) + if ((ret = virNetDevExists(ifname)) < 0) { + virMutexUnlock(&virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex); return -1; + } if (!ret) { rc = virNetDevMacVLanCreate(ifname, type, macaddress, linkdev, macvtapMode, &do_retry); - if (rc == 0) + if (rc == 0) { + cr_ifname = ifname; break; + } if (do_retry && --retries) continue; - return -1; + break; } } - cr_ifname = ifname; + + virMutexUnlock(&virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex); + if (!cr_ifname) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_FAILED, "%s", + _("Unable to create macvlan device")); + return -1; + } } if (virNetDevVPortProfileAssociate(cr_ifname, -- 1.8.1.4
