I will add a new feature request in qemu. After this feature is added to qemu, I will then add a request in libvirt to use the newly added parameters.

[libvirt] [PATCHv2 0/7] arbitrary qemu monitor events
by Eric Blake 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-February/msg00000.html Many of the patches in the series were acked back then, but the 'virsh' changes were made conditional on getting 'virsh event' working first, so it missed the last release. Changes in v2: rebase to master, s/1.2.2/1.2.3/, simplify virsh patch (2/7) to use framework for event tracking. Also, the python bindings need review (no change to v1): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-February/msg00197.html Note that Dan was hesitant about patches 6 and 7 in v1, but if we don't take those patches, then the API is over-engineered. Either we are willing to support filtering on specific event names and patterns, or I should respin a v3 of this series that simplifies the API in patch 1 to not expose that possibility. Personally, I think the ability to expose all 'spice_*' related events at once, without being drowned by other events, is worth the complexity of server-side filtering. I also note that the bulk of the complexity was isolated to the qemu-specific code with no noticeable impact to the normal event code (the changes to domain_event.c are primarily additions, and the changes to object_event.c are merely tweaks to allow qemu filtering to be server-side only in comparison to normal events that can do some of the filtering client side). Eric Blake (7): qemu: new API for tracking arbitrary monitor events qemu: virsh wrapper for qemu events qemu: create object for qemu monitor events qemu: wire up RPC for qemu monitor events qemu: enable monitor event reporting qemu: enable monitor event filtering by name qemu: allow filtering events by regex daemon/libvirtd.h | 2 + daemon/remote.c | 209 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/libvirt/libvirt-qemu.h | 46 +++++++- src/conf/domain_event.c | 234 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/conf/domain_event.h | 23 ++++ src/conf/object_event.c | 40 ++++--- src/driver.h | 15 +++ src/libvirt-qemu.c | 124 ++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/libvirt_qemu.syms | 6 ++ src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 51 +++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 14 +++ src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h | 13 ++- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c | 21 +++- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 29 +++++ src/qemu_protocol-structs | 22 ++++ src/remote/qemu_protocol.x | 50 ++++++++- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 143 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/rpc/gendispatch.pl | 13 +-- tools/virsh-domain.c | 148 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/virsh.pod | 30 +++++- 21 files changed, 1203 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) -- 1.8.5.3

[libvirt] Question about VIR_ALLOC vs vshMalloc
by Solly Ross 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

I was wondering what the reason was for seemingly near-duplicate code. VIR_ALLOC and vshMalloc (and similar methods for calloc, etc), seem to be roughly identical in function, with the only difference being that VIR_ALLOC and friends are used in libvirt proper, whereas vshMalloc and friends are used in the virsh code. Is there a reason why virsh does not simply use VIR_ALLOC and friends? Best Regards, Solly Ross

[libvirt] [PATCH] is_selinux_enabled returns -1 on error, account for this.
by Scott Sullivan 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Per the documentation, is_selinux_enabled() returns -1 on error. Account for this. Previously when -1 was being returned the condition would still be true. I was noticing this because on my system that has selinux disabled I was getting this in the libvirt.log every 5 seconds: error : virIdentityGetSystem:173 : Unable to lookup SELinux process context: Invalid argument With this patch applied, I no longer get these messages every 5 seconds. I am submitting this in case its deemed useful for inclusion. Anyone have any comments on this change? This is a patch off current master.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] bhyve: add xml2args unittest
by Roman Bogorodskiy 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Add testing for xml -> args generation. It's largely based on the similar test for qemu. As it's my first experience with unit testing in libvirt and in unit testing in C in general, I'm not sure I haven't miss some important pieces, but it works as expected for me. I'm also not sure about the license headers: some tests have them, some don't, so I decided not to add them for now.

[libvirt] [PATCH] virNetClientSetTLSSession: Restore original signal mask
by Michal Privoznik 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Currently, we use pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK, ...) prior to calling poll(). This is okay, as we don't want poll() to be interrupted. However, then - immediately as we fall out from the poll() - we try to restore the original sigmask - again using SIG_BLOCK. But as the man page says, SIG_BLOCK adds signals to the signal mask: SIG_BLOCK The set of blocked signals is the union of the current set and the set argument. Therefore, when restoring the original mask, we need to completely overwrite the one we set earlier and hence we should be using: SIG_SETMASK The set of blocked signals is set to the argument set.
