We've tried to make libvirt avoid -usb when it knows it is targetting a new enough qemu. But I'm not the one most familiar with that code. At this point, I'm just trying to facilitate discussions, and make sure the right people are looking at this - what versions of qemu vs. libvirt have you tested, and what does libvirt still need to patch to avoid -usb, and/or qemu patch so that libvirt can correctly probe that -usb is not needed? -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] virstoragefile refactoring, part 3
by Eric Blake 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Part 2 gave us a common virStorageSource struct, now it's time to start using that struct when crawling backing file chains. I posted some RFCs about my full conversion plan, here's the patches I have working so far. Still plenty more to come, but today's batch of patches took me a lot longer than I had planned due to having to refactor the testsuite to avoid a compiler error about over-large stack allocation. Eric Blake (5): tests: use C99 initialization for storage test tests: refactor virstoragetest for less stack space conf: track when storage type is still undetermined conf: track more fields in backing chain metadata conf: start testing contents of the new backing chain fields src/conf/domain_conf.c | 10 +- src/conf/snapshot_conf.c | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 11 +- src/util/virstoragefile.c | 33 +++- src/util/virstoragefile.h | 43 ++++- tests/virstoragetest.c | 405 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 7 files changed, 366 insertions(+), 139 deletions(-) -- 1.9.0

[libvirt] [PATCH] Add V6LOCAL parameter to nwfilter rules.
by Brian Rak 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Currently, adding any sort of IPv6 nwfilter rules is rather difficult. There are no standard rules, and you end up doing a lot of things by hand. This patch makes the $V6LOCAL variable available within rules. This is the generated from the interface's mac address using the modified EUI-64 format, which matches what the guest should be using. This is part of what information is needed to correctly filter guest IPv6 traffic. Since this changes with the MAC address, it is significantly easier if libvirt populates it (rather then requring the user to enter it) --- docs/formatnwfilter.html.in | 9 ++++++--- src/conf/nwfilter_params.h | 1 + src/nwfilter/nwfilter_gentech_driver.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) mode change 100644 => 100755 src/nwfilter/nwfilter_gentech_driver.c diff --git a/docs/formatnwfilter.html.in b/docs/formatnwfilter.html.in index 45b97f7..aa1ff9f 100644 --- a/docs/formatnwfilter.html.in +++ b/docs/formatnwfilter.html.in @@ -239,9 +239,9 @@ <h3><a name="nwfconceptsvars">Usage of variables in filters</a></h3> <p> - Two variables names have so far been reserved for usage by the - network traffic filtering subsystem: <code>MAC</code> and - <code>IP</code>. + Three variables names have so far been reserved for usage by the + network traffic filtering subsystem: <code>MAC</code>, + <code>IP</code>, and <code>V6LOCAL</code> <br/><br/> <code>MAC</code> is the MAC address of the network interface.

[libvirt] Enhancing clean-traffic to work with IPv6
by Brian Rak 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

I'm looking into adding IPv6 support to the nwfilter clean-traffic rules, but I'm unsure of the best approach to this. I'm planning on sending patches once I get this correct, so I'm trying to figure out what way fits in best. There's a couple different ways I can think of: 1) Explicitly add v6 rules to the existing clean-traffic rules. This would enable IPv6 for guests whenever libvirt was upgraded, which may be a problem. 2) Add another filter chain (clean-ipv6-traffic) that would do the same thing as clean-traffic, just for IPv6 3) Add another filter chain (clean-ipv6-ipv4-traffic), that would clean IPv6 traffic, and include the clean-traffic filter set The limitation here is that IP learning will not work for IPv6, so actually using IPv6 is going to require passing in parameters to filter specifying what ranges the guest should be allowed to use. I think this rules out #1. Any suggestions?

[libvirt] libxl fixes/improvements for libvirt
by Stefan Bader 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Here several changes which improve the handling of Xen for me: * 0001-libxl-Use-id-from-virDomainObj-inside-the-driver.patch This is a re-send as I initially submitted that as a reply to some discussion. Starting from the visibly broken libxlDomainGetInfo when creating or rebooting a guest with virt-manager, I replaced all usage of dom->id with the more stable vm->def->id. * 0002-libxl-Set-disk-format-for-empty-cdrom-device.patch Fixes start of a guest after ejecting the iso image from a virtual CDROM drive (again using virt-manager). * 0003-libxl-Implement-basic-video-device-selection.patch Should fix the occasional disagreement about the used VNC port and adds the ability to select the standard VGA graphics from Xen. VRAM size seemed to work with that. Only for Cirrus, while the qemu command-line looks good, ones seems to end up with 32M. Note to people on the Xen list: I wonder whether libxenlight internally should somehow should fix up the situation where a caller sets up the video devices in the vfbs list but does not sync that with the information in the build info. Question probably is what the semantics should be. -Stefan

[libvirt] [PATCH] Define CPUINFO_FILE_LEN and fix maxlen of cpuinfo file for powerpc
by Olivia Yin 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

This patch define CPUINFO_FILE_LEN as 2KB which is enough for most architectures. For the 24 cores PowerPC machines, the file of /proc/cpuinfo will be larger than 2KB. It will fail to start libvirtd with the error message as below: virFileReadAll: Failed to read file '/proc/cpuinfo': Value too large for defined data type virSysinfoRead: internal error Failed to open /proc/cpuinfo So this patch increases the maxlen of cpuinfo for PowerPC architecture.
