[libvirt] [PATCH v1 0/2] support dumping guest memory in compressed format
by Qiao Nuohan 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

dumping guest's memroy is introduced without compression supported, and this is a freature regression of 'virsh dump --memory-only'. This patchset is used to add support in libvirt side to make qemu dump guest's memory in kdump-compressed format and please refer the following address to see implementation of the qemu side, the lastest version of qemu side is v9(ready for being queued). http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-02/msg03016.html qiaonuohan (2): make qemu dump memory in kdump-compressed format add dump_memory_format in qemu.conf include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 19 ++++++++++---- src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug | 1 + src/qemu/qemu.conf | 13 +++++++++- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 3 +++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 ++ src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 6 ++--- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h | 3 ++- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c | 4 ++- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h | 3 ++- src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 1 + tests/qemumonitorjsontest.c | 2 +- tools/virsh-domain.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 13 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-)

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] libxl: improve domain lifecycle event support
by Jim Fehlig 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

This series is the result of a report from Kim Larry [1] about missing shutdown events in the libxl driver. Kim's report revealed that the libxl driver was ignoring the <on_*> domain lifecycle event configuration! Patch1 adds support for the four standard actions (destroy, restart, preserve, and rename-restart) of <on_*>. Patch2 queues the shutdown event earlier in the shutdown handler, to avoid it being delivered after the a start event in the case of a restart. Patches 3 and 4 add support for the extra <on_crash> actions coredump-destroy and coredump-restart.

[libvirt] block pull/commit for non-local storage
by Peter Krempa 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hi, with my recent work into snapshots with native libgfapi support I've run into an issue with libvirt APIs used to delete snapshots by management apps. The management apps use the APIs to do the job: int virDomainBlockCommit(virDomainPtr dom, const char *disk, const char *base, const char *top, unsigned long bandwidth, unsigned int flags) int virDomainBlockPull(virDomainPtr dom, const char *disk, unsigned long bandwidth, unsigned int flags) int virDomainBlockRebase(virDomainPtr dom, const char *disk, const char *base, unsigned long bandwidth, unsigned int flags) As you can see in the prototypes of these functions (and from the docs for them which I'm not going to copy here) the user can provide the disk specification in two possible options: 1) a full path if it's unambiguous - this is file centric and requires the file to be in the local filesystem 2) a disk name "vda" - this is selected automatically by libvirt but allows to specify only the top image. For systems that want to use remote storage without local representation such as gluster+libgfapi, this doesn't allow to use the APIs to start block jobs. To solve this issue we need a way to specify paths on remote storage in some way. Below are two options we've discussed on IRC. 1) Use URIs along with the file path to specify disk images. This option would add a new, possibly well documented URIs to specify paths for disk images. These would be libvirt defined URIs (but surprisingly "similar" to qemu URIS) so that hypervisors with different storage specification would need a conversion. This would allow to specify the targets as: vda - disk name /path/to/file - legacy way, path file:///path/to/file - new way of file paths block:///dev/blah - new way, block devs gluster://server/vol/img - new way, remote images ... Possible caveats: RBD for example allows to use multiple hosts and we'd need to introduce a possibility to specify it if we'd add support for this on rbd. 2) Export the image chain in the XML and allow to use indexed disk names This option would require to export the backing chain in the XML in some way, either the existing disk source specification in multiple elements (which I don't like as it is a bit convoluted), or possibly again via URIs. Then the user would be allowed to specify vda[2] for the second backing image of the vda disk. With this the internal representations of the backing chain would be used without the need for the user to specify path. A possible caveat here is that if backing chains for some reason will be converted to backing trees, this approach will be invalid. 3) ? anyone suggesting something better? :) Thanks in advance for suggestions and/or new ideas.

[libvirt] [PATCH] cpu: break out when a right cpuCandidate found
