[libvirt] Redefining the XML of VM
by kangta123 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi, I'm a newbie to Libvirt, i want to know if i can change the vm definition xml dynamically. like change cpu, network value. I found the hook in Libvirt, and i can get the xml from standard input. but i change it and out put to standard output, it no effect. I was try to execute “virsh define” shell command in python script on hook, but it was blocked and unabled to execute another Libvirt command. Is there create vm hook in Libvirt? Any help is appreciated. Regards,

[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: Fix devid init in libxlMakeNicList
by Stefan Bader 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

This basically reverts commit ba64b97134a6129a48684f22f31be92c3b6eef96 "libxl: Allow libxl to set NIC devid". However assigning devid's before calling libxlMakeNic does not work as that is calling libxl_device_nic_init which sets it back to -1. Right now auto-assignment only works in the hotplug case. But even if that would be fixed at some point (if that is possible at all), this would add a weird dependency between Xen and libvirt versions. The change here should accept any auto-assignment that makes it into libxl_device_nic_init. My understanding is that a caller always is allowed to make the devid choice itself. And assuming libxlMakeNicList is only used on domain creation, a sequential numbering should be ok.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/1] virsh nodecpustats erroneously returns stats for offline cpus on Linux
by Pradipta Kr. Banerjee 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

From: "Pradipta Kr. Banerjee" <bpradip(a)in.ibm.com> virsh nodecpustats erroneously returns stats for offline cpus on Linux To retrieve node cpu statistics on Linux system, the linuxNodeGetCPUstats function performs a minimal match of the input cpuid with the cpuid read from /proc/cpustat.

[libvirt] [PATCH] virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback: Unlock @conn prior to error dispatch
by Michal Privoznik 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

The function checks for @conn to be valid and locks its mutex. Then, it checks if callee is unregistering the same callback that he registered previously. If this fails an error is reported and the control jumps to 'error' label. Here, if @conn has some errors (and it certainly does - the one that's been just reported) the conn->mutex is locked again - without any previous unlock: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fb500ef1800 (LWP 18982)): #0 __lll_lock_wait () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:135 #1 0x00007fb4fd99ce56 in _L_lock_918 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x00007fb4fd99ccaa in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock (mutex=0x7fb50153b670) at pthread_mutex_lock.c:64 #3 0x00007fb5007e574d in virMutexLock (m=m@entry=0x7fb50153b670) at util/virthreadpthread.c:85 #4 0x00007fb5007b198e in virDispatchError (conn=conn@entry=0x7fb50153b5e0) at util/virerror.c:594 #5 0x00007fb5008a3735 in virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback (conn=0x7fb50153b5e0, cb=cb@entry=0x7fb500f588e0 <vshCatchDisconnect>) at libvirt.c:21025 #6 0x00007fb500f5d690 in vshReconnect (ctl=ctl@entry=0x7fffff60e710) at virsh.c:328 #7 0x00007fb500f5dc50 in vshCommandRun (ctl=ctl@entry=0x7fffff60e710, cmd=0x7fb50152ca80) at virsh.c:1755 #8 0x00007fb500f5861b in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at virsh.c:3393 And since the conn's mutex is not recursive, the virDispatchError will never ever lock it successfully.
