[libvirt] [PATCH 00/10 v3] Support scsi device passthrough via scsi-generic
by Osier Yang 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

This adds the support for qemu's scsi-generic device, which can be used to passthrough scsi host device. An example of the XML: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host7'/> <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </hostdev> Mainly changes from v2.5 (details in each patch): * 1/10 and 2/10 of v2.5 are pushed * 8/10 of v2.5 is splitted * A better way to generate the address for scsi host device instead of the rigid one. * Support all scsi controllers when building the qemu command line. * Figure out the limits of the qemu properties, and do checking * Don't forget DAC and apparmor security backends * Orgnize the patches in a better way. * Fix the make check failure Han Cheng (7): conf: Introduce XMLs for scsi hostdev qemu: New cap flags for scsi-generic utils: util functions for scsi hostdev qemu: Build qemu command line for scsi host device qemu: Introduce activeScsiHostdevs list for scsi host devices qemu: Allow the scsi-generic device in cgroup qemu: Add hotplug support for scsi host device Osier Yang (3): security: Manage the security label for scsi host device qemu: Refactor helpers for USB device attachment conf: Generate address for scsi host device automatically docs/formatdomain.html.in | 38 +- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 29 ++ po/POTFILES.in | 1 + src/Makefile.am | 1 + src/conf/domain_audit.c | 10 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 312 +++++++++++++++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 8 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 22 ++ src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 14 +- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 72 +++- src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.h | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 154 +++++++- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 6 + src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c | 213 +++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h | 10 + src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 224 +++++++++--- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 3 + src/security/security_apparmor.c | 49 ++- src/security/security_dac.c | 77 +++- src/security/security_selinux.c | 72 +++- src/util/virscsi.c | 407 +++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virscsi.h | 84 +++++ tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-1.0-device | 10 + tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-1.1.0-device | 10 + tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-1.2.0-device | 5 + tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-kvm-1.2.0-device | 5 + tests/qemuhelptest.c | 19 +- .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-boot.args | 9 + .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-boot.xml | 34 ++ .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-readonly.args | 9 + .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-readonly.xml | 35 ++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 9 + tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c | 2 + 36 files changed, 1842 insertions(+), 121 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/util/virscsi.c create mode 100644 src/util/virscsi.h create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-boot.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-boot.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-readonly.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-scsi-readonly.xml -- 1.8.1.4

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/2] qemu: invoke qemu-bridge-helper from libvirtd
by Paolo Bonzini 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

The <interface type='bridge'> is working mostly because of a peculiar design decision in Linux. Ideally, QEMU would run with an empty capability bounding set and would not be able to do any privileged operation (not even by running a helper program). This is not the case because dropping capabilities from the bounding set requires a capability of its own, CAP_SETPCAP; thus QEMU does *not* run with an empty bounding set if invoked via qemu:///session. This is apparently for security reasons, to avoid that dropping _some_ caps but not all of them lets you exploit untested error paths in suid binaries. This series lets libvirtd invoke the privileged helper program on its own, which is a cleaner design that would work even if the above Linux quirk was not there. Also, this adds a <target dev='tap0'/> element to the XML of an active domain using <interface type='bridge'>. Thanks to the patches that have already been committed, the recvfd and virCommand APIs make the task almost trivial. v1->v2: OOM fix in patch 1, change label name in patch 2, rebase Paolo Bonzini (2): virnetdevtap: add virNetDevTapGetName qemu: launch bridge helper from libvirtd src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 1 - src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 25 +++------ src/util/virnetdevtap.c | 33 ++++++++++++ src/util/virnetdevtap.h | 3 ++ 6 files changed, 143 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) -- 1.8.2

[libvirt] [PATCH-v4 0/2] Static Route related updates
by Gene Czarcinski 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

This update includes two patch files: 1. The first file adds virSocketAddrGetIpPrefix() to determine the prefix for a network. This function is used by the static route code and has also been used to update (replace the code in) virNetworkIpDefPrefix() in src/conf/network_conf.c 2. The second and major update adds functionality to implement static route for both IPv4 and IPv6. Having static route provides the routing information needed to forward packets not directly reachable from a host. As far as I can determine, this update has adopted all suggestions made against the previous version (except that I am still using CommandRun ... that will be addressed in a future update). I also plan to take a look at <ip> processing such as handling ULong return codes. I also raise the question as to whether address= should be manditory rather than (currently) optional ... I am not sure what <ip> means with address= being optional.

regarding http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-December/msg01365.html and https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-December/msg00935.html This seems like the problem i'm having... is there a permanent solution for this? (i'm using libvirtd with XEN using libxl) almost every time i shutdown a domain libvirtd segfaults...

[libvirt] [PATCH] fix segfault during virsh save in pv guest
by Bamvor Jian Zhang 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

this patch fix the wrong sequence for fd and timeout register. the sequence was right in dfa1e1dd for fd register, but it changed in e0622ca2. in this patch, set priv, xl_priv in info and increase info->priv ref count before virEventAddHandle. if do this after virEventAddHandle, the fd callback or fd deregister maybe got the empty priv, xl_priv or wrong ref count. after apply this patch, test more than 100 rounds passed compare to fail within 3 rounds without this patch. each round includes define -> start -> destroy -> create -> suspend -> resume -> reboot -> shutdown -> save -> resotre -> dump -> destroy -> create -> setmem -> setvcpus -> destroy.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Remaining patches from VFIO series
by Laine Stump 26 Apr '13

I've pushed everything else from all 3 VFIO series. Patch 1/4 in this series had questions from Eric about whether it is the right way to go, or if we want to do something more limited: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-April/msg01864.html Eric and danpb had both raised issues with Patch 2/4, so I redid it addressing all the points they brought up, and it's now ready for review: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-April/msg01853.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-April/msg01869.html 3/4 and 4/4 were ACKed, but depend on 2/4, so I couldn't push them. If these patches are ACKed and DV wants to make the RC1 snapshot before I wake up, anyone else feel free to push these 4 patches as they are (assuming they're ACKed, of course :-) Laine Stump (4): util: new virCommandSetMax(MemLock|Processes|Files) qemu: use new virCommandSetMax(Processes|Files) qemu: set qemu process' RLIMIT_MEMLOCK when VFIO is used qemu: add VFIO devices to cgroup ACL configure.ac | 2 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 6 ++ src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 11 ++++ src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 25 +++++--- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 27 ++++++--- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 38 +----------- src/util/vircommand.c | 38 ++++++++++++ src/util/vircommand.h | 4 ++ src/util/virprocess.c | 152 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/util/virprocess.h | 5 +- 10 files changed, 255 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) -- 1.7.11.7
