[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix python error reporting for some storage operations
by Cole Robinson 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In the python bindings, all vir* classes expect to be passed a virConnect object when instantiated. Before the storage stuff, these classes were only instantiated in virConnect methods, so the generator is hardcoded to pass 'self' as the connection instance to these classes. Problem is there are some methods that return pool or vol instances which aren't called from virConnect: you can lookup a storage volume's associated pool, and can lookup volumes from a pool. In these cases passing 'self' doesn't give the vir* instance a connection, so when it comes time to raise an exception crap hits the fan. Rather than rework the generator to accomodate this edge case, I just fixed the init functions for virStorage* to pull the associated connection out of the passed value if it's not a virConnect instance. Thanks, Cole diff --git a/python/generator.py b/python/generator.py index 01a17da..c706b19 100755 --- a/python/generator.py +++ b/python/generator.py @@ -962,8 +962,12 @@ def buildWrappers(): list = reference_keepers[classname] for ref in list: classes.write(" self.%s = None\n" % ref[1]) - if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork", "virStoragePool", "virStorageVol" ]: + if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork" ]: classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n") + elif classname in [ "virStorageVol", "virStoragePool" ]: + classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n" + \ + " if not isinstance(conn, virConnect):\n" + \ + " self._conn = conn._conn\n") classes.write(" if _obj != None:self._o = _obj;return\n") classes.write(" self._o = None\n\n"); destruct=None

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Disclaimer: I am neither an SR-IOV nor a vhost-net expert, but I've CC'd people that are who can throw tomatoes at me for getting bits wrong :-) I wanted to start a discussion about supporting vhost-net in libvirt. vhost-net has not yet been merged into qemu but I expect it will be soon so it's a good time to start this discussion. There are two modes worth supporting for vhost-net in libvirt. The first mode is where vhost-net backs to a tun/tap device. This is behaves in very much the same way that -net tap behaves in qemu today. Basically, the difference is that the virtio backend is in the kernel instead of in qemu so there should be some performance improvement. Current, libvirt invokes qemu with -net tap,fd=X where X is an already open fd to a tun/tap device. I suspect that after we merge vhost-net, libvirt could support vhost-net in this mode by just doing -net vhost,fd=X. I think the only real question for libvirt is whether to provide a user visible switch to use vhost or to just always use vhost when it's available and it makes sense. Personally, I think the later makes sense. The more interesting invocation of vhost-net though is one where the vhost-net device backs directly to a physical network card. In this mode, vhost should get considerably better performance than the current implementation. I don't know the syntax yet, but I think it's reasonable to assume that it will look something like -net tap,dev=eth0. The effect will be that eth0 is dedicated to the guest. On most modern systems, there is a small number of network devices so this model is not all that useful except when dealing with SR-IOV adapters. In that case, each physical device can be exposed as many virtual devices (VFs). There are a few restrictions here though. The biggest is that currently, you can only change the number of VFs by reloading a kernel module so it's really a parameter that must be set at startup time. I think there are a few ways libvirt could support vhost-net in this second mode. The simplest would be to introduce a new tag similar to <source network='br0'>. In fact, if you probed the device type for the network parameter, you could probably do something like <source network='eth0'> and have it Just Work. Another model would be to have libvirt see an SR-IOV adapter as a network pool whereas it handled all of the VF management. Considering how inflexible SR-IOV is today, I'm not sure whether this is the best model. Has anyone put any more thought into this problem or how this should be modeled in libvirt? Michael, could you share your current thinking for -net syntax? -- Regards, Anthony Liguori

[libvirt] [PATCH/RFC] Add missing delta from Ubuntu to apparmor profiles
by Stefan Bader 25 May '16

25 May '16

This had been on the Debian package list before but its time to take this onwards. So the goal would be to have one set to rule them all (when using apparmor) and drop the seperate set of definitions which exist at least in the Ubuntu packaging. Right now the patch would be at a state which adds all missing files and rules to the current examples in libvirt and installs them when using --with-apparmor-profiles. One problem seems to be that some of the definitions might cause parse failures on certain versions of apparmor. I checked this morning and this looks a bit hairy. So some apparmor 2.8 versions potentially have issues, but not all apparmor 2.8 are the same (gah). I could imagine (but John, we really could use some guidance here ;)) that at least some changes could be related to version 2.8.95~2430: + debian/patches/mediate-signals.patch, debian/patches/change-signal-syntax.patch: Parse signal rules with apparmor_parser. See the apparmor.d(5) man page for syntax details. + debian/patches/change-ptrace-syntax.patch, debian/patches/mediate-ptrace.patch: Parse ptrace rules with apparmor_parser. See the apparmor.d(5) man page for syntax details. But, regardless of the when, the apparmor rules maybe need a way to handle versioned features of the parser. One proposal was to comment out problematic rules and allow the packager to re-enable things. Maybe going one step further and have some pre-processing that handles version based sections (like #if (APPARMOR_VERSION >= xxx)). So that is where we stand. Ideas are very welcome. -Stefan --- >From aec5cf8cc30c80492a37856626264c3d4c27a31f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader(a)canonical.com> Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:15:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add missing delta from Ubuntu to apparmor profiles This fixes up the upstream profiles and would allow to drop apparmor related delta from the Ubuntu package.

Using virDomainGetJobStats, we can monitor running jobs but sometimes it may be useful to get statistics about a job that already finished, for example, to get the final amount of data transferred during migration or to get an idea about total downtime. This is what the following patches are about.

[libvirt] [RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Enable spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge controllers for VFIO passthrough support
by Shivaprasad G Bhat 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

The following series of patches enable spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge controllers on PPC64-pseries machine which is required for supporting host device passthrough using VFIO. There were some initial enablement work on the same at http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00838.html. On pseries(ppc64), the vfio host devices(will refer as hostdevs here on) cannot be assigned to the default emulated pci-host-bus(phb) controller(like the default pci.0). The hostdevs goto spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge. The hostdevs belonging to the same iommu group share the same spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge. Henceforth, new spapr-pci-host-bridge needs to be added for every hostdev belonging to any new iommu group. The hostdevs should be attached to their respective spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge. Libvirt today adds all the devices to the default pci domain. The patch series take care to add the new controller. A new pci domain in the guest per controller is created. The hostdevs get their pci address in the respective domain. The patch series taskes care of device addressing in vfio hostdevs, SR-IOV interfaces and network interfaces from SRIOV virtual function pools.

From: "Jason J. Herne" <jjherne(a)us.ibm.com> libvirt_iohelper is a helper process that is exec'ed and used to handle I/O during a Qemu managed save operation. Due to a missing call to virFileWrapperFdClose, all I/O error messages reported by iohelper are lost. This patch adds a call to virFileWrapperFdClose to the cleanup phase of qemuDomainSaveMemory. This patch also modifies virFileWrapperFdClose such that errors are only reported when the length of the err_msg buffer is > 0. Before now, the existence of the buffer would trigger error reporting in virFileWrapperFdClose. Signed-off-by: Jason J.
