[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: refactor capabilities code
by Jim Fehlig 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Cleanup the libxl capabilities code to be a bit more extensible, splitting out the creation of host and guest capabilities. This should make it easier to implement additional capabilities in the future, such as NUMA topology reporting. --- Although I can't see how changes here would affect other drivers, I nonetheless ensured libvirtd loaded when not booted to Xen :). src/libxl/libxl_conf.c | 256 +++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- 1 file changed, 121 insertions(+), 135 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libxl/libxl_conf.c b/src/libxl/libxl_conf.c index 827dfdd..5ea4163 100644 --- a/src/libxl/libxl_conf.c +++ b/src/libxl/libxl_conf.c @@ -64,126 +64,62 @@ static const char *xen_cap_re = "(xen|hvm)-[[:digit:]]+\\.[[:digit:]]+-(x86_32|x static regex_t xen_cap_rec; -static virCapsPtr -libxlBuildCapabilities(virArch hostarch, - int host_pae, - struct guest_arch *guest_archs, - int nr_guest_archs) +static int +libxlCapsInitHost(libxl_ctx *ctx, virCapsPtr caps) { - virCapsPtr caps; - size_t i; - - if ((caps = virCapabilitiesNew(hostarch, 1, 1)) == NULL) - goto no_memory; - - if (host_pae && - virCapabilitiesAddHostFeature(caps, "pae") < 0) - goto no_memory; - - for (i = 0; i < nr_guest_archs; ++i) { - virCapsGuestPtr guest; - char const *const xen_machines[] = {guest_archs[i].hvm ?

[libvirt] [PATCHv2 0/2] Fix starting of VM's on hosts without DBus compiled in or enabled
by Peter Krempa 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi, this series fixes regression on hosts without DBus that was introduced by the refactor to use systemd.machined to create cgroups. Version 2: As errors can't be unlogged, this version enhances the error reporting code to add conditional error logging. The only remaining issue is that if a user is running DBus but doesn't use systemd, the logs are still spammed with errors.

I would like to see hard data to back this up. What we need to keep in mind is that "boot" is a small part of the picture, at least "boot" as commonly referred to in Linux. Consider a web sphere-like Java bundle of code. These things take a while to load. JiT-ed methods provide a tremendous performance boost. Nevermind if the the server constructs secondary indices to perform fast lookups of data. That is just Linux. Windows is well known for pounding storage fabrics with thousands of small reads during boot storms. Certainly a boot Windows sequence has baked in a lot of service startup sequences that prime a lot of memory content for performance objectives. Boot here means "ready to rock-n-roll", not "Cirros is up." We have live deployments that are based on bypassing the entire *application startup* sequence and have a server ready to provide high-performance responses to queries once spawned from a live saved image. > > You should be able to boot an OS pretty quickly, and furthermore it's > (a) much safer for all the reasons Dan outlines, and (b) improvements > that you make to boot times help everyone. > > [...] >>> 2.

Case number one. The correctness issues are a hard problem, and a particularly hard one in Windows, but it is pragmatically solvable.

The disk side of live images is carried out with qcow2. Virt-sysprep is great work and highly relevant. But virt-sysprep allows us to see the argument in a different light. Have you noticed nova does not run virt-sysprep before booting an ephemeral instance from an image? (AFAIK, could be wrong, not even regenerating host ssh keys is part of the assured workflow). Furthermore, one can create arbitrary (cold, non-live) images at any time, from live instances This isn't necessarily wrong. It underpins massive deployments, it pragmatically adds value. The fundamental semantics at play with live-instances are the same: know what you are doing, ephemeral instances, bound to your tenant. So as long as we take care of not weakening cryptographic foundations and correctly reconfiguring the identity, all the principles above still apply: know what you are doing, ephemeral instances, bound to your tenant. We are working on proof-of-concept using the qemu guest agent to undertake all these tasks. It is PoC to show it's doable. It's neither clean nor asking for mainline merge (at the moment). It's not the only solution for the guest side problem. An one final very important note for the libvirt list and those who may be tuning in just now: no changes to libvirt are being asked for here.

For Linux at least I think bootup time is a problem that is being solved by the distros. It is possible to boot up many modern Linux distros in a couple of seconds even in physical hardware - VMs can be even faster since they don't have such stupid BIOS to worry about & have a restricted set of possible hardware. This is on a par with, or better than, the overheads imposed by Nova itself in the boot up process. Windows may be a different story, but I've not used it in years so don't know what its boot performance is like. > I recognize that this capability comes with some security concerns, so I don't expect > this feature to go in and be ready to for use in production right away.

To characterize this as a libvirt issue is somewhat misleading. The reason why libvirt does not explicitly allow this, is that from discussions with the upstream QEMU/KVM developers, the recommendation/advise that this is not a safe operation and should not be exposed to application developers. The expectation is that the functionality in QEMU is only targetted for taking point in time snapshots & allowing rollback of a VM to those snapshots, not creating clones of active VMs. > 2.

When restoring from the snapshot the VM will initially be running with virtual NIC with a different MAC address from the one associated with the in memory OS kernel state. Even if you hotunplug the device and plug in a new one, you still have a period where the virtual hardware exposed to the guest does not match the memory state of the guest OS. Perhaps you will be lucky and not hit problems with some OS, but equally you can be unlucky and do bad things to the OS kernel or application state. Relying on luck in this way does not lead to a supportable solution IMHO. There are other unique identifiers exposed in the virtual hardware that will/should change when you clone VMs too, the host UUID, the storage serial keys and you cannot easily fix those by just unplugging hardware & replugging it. > So cloning vms must be done with care. Sensitive data must be removed from the vm > pre-clone and new data needs to be generated post-clone. Ultimately this should all > be done via guest-agent of some sort. I have found some volunteers to make the guest > agent a reality, but it will take a bit of time to get something workable, and it > will be much more difficult if there isn't a way to test the feature. Note that even if you think you have removed security data from a VM's filesystem, it is quite likely that the data will still in fact exist in the unallocated sectors of VM's block devices and can be fairly easily recovered from them. The libguestfs project provide tools to perform offline cloning of VM disk images. Its virt-sysprep knows how to delete alot (but by no means all possible) sensitive file data for common Linux & Windows OS. It still has to be combined with use of the virt-sparsify tool though, to ensure the deleted data is actually purged from the VM disk image as well as the filesystem, by releasing all unused VM disk sectors back to the host storage (and not all storage supports that). > Conclusion > ========== > > There are obviously problems to be solved with the whole idea of live cloning, but > I think it enables some important new ways of deploying applications.

by cyliu＠suse.com 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

From: Chunyan Liu <cyliu(a)suse.com> These patches implements a separate module for hostdev passthrough so that it could be shared by different drivers and can maintain a global state of a host device. Plus, add passthrough to libxl driver, and change qemu driver and lxc driver to use hostdev common library instead of their own hostdev APIs. --- Changes to v2: * add patches for qemu driver and lxc driver, use common library APIs instead of their own hostdev APIs. * add APIs for nodedev-detach and nodedev-reattach calling. * rename functions to use unified prefix 'virHostdev' * use VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT() as others instead of previous Init and Cleanup. * use VIR_STRDUP instead of strdup * rebase to latest code v2 is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-June/msg00263.html Chunyan Liu (4): add hostdev passthrough common library add pci passthrough to libxl driver change qemu driver to use hostdev common library change lxc driver to use hostdev common library po/POTFILES.in | 3 +- src/Makefile.am | 3 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 22 + src/libxl/libxl_conf.c | 65 ++ src/libxl/libxl_conf.h | 5 +- src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 250 +++++++- src/lxc/lxc_conf.h | 4 - src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 45 +- src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.c | 413 ------------ src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.h | 43 -- src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 21 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 1 - src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 9 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 72 +-- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c | 1289 ----------------------------------- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h | 72 -- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 127 ++-- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 34 +- src/util/virhostdev.c | 1683 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virhostdev.h | 123 ++++ src/util/virpci.c | 21 +- src/util/virpci.h | 7 +- src/util/virscsi.c | 22 +- src/util/virscsi.h | 8 +- src/util/virusb.c | 23 +- src/util/virusb.h | 8 +- 26 files changed, 2341 insertions(+), 2032 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.c delete mode 100644 src/lxc/lxc_hostdev.h delete mode 100644 src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c delete mode 100644 src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.h create mode 100644 src/util/virhostdev.c create mode 100644 src/util/virhostdev.h

I'll probably push this in another 24 hours if I don't get a review (I'm not pushing it now, because I want to test it on a few more machines first...).
