[libvirt] [PATCH]util:ovs:Delete port if it is exist when add port
by Lichunhe 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

If the ovs service stop abnormal, or host cold reboot, vm is destroyed after ovs service stop. The ovs port which connect to interface of vm will not be clear. When the ovs service restart, recover configuration from db, but the interface is no exist, port recovery failed, and then vm restart on the same host, libvirt add port again, but the port configuration is same as before, ovs will not connect the interface, only store the configuration in db. Below will trigger this problem, virsh start vm service openvswitch-switch stop virsh destroy vm service openvswitch-switch start virsh start vm Signed-off-by: Chunhe Li <lichunhe(a)huawei.com> --- src/util/virnetdevopenvswitch.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/util/virnetdevopenvswitch.c b/src/util/virnetdevopenvswitch.c index 9bcbfb1..dd601c0 100644 --- a/src/util/virnetdevopenvswitch.c +++ b/src/util/virnetdevopenvswitch.c @@ -84,7 +84,8 @@ int virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort(const char *brname, const char *ifname, cmd = virCommandNew(OVSVSCTL); - virCommandAddArgList(cmd, "--timeout=5", "--", "--may-exist", "add-port", + virCommandAddArgList(cmd, "--timeout=5", "--", "--if-exists", "del-port", + ifname, "--", "--may-exist", "add-port", brname, ifname, NULL); if (virtVlan && virtVlan->nTags > 0) {

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Reorganize storage auth (both disk and pool)
by John Ferlan 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

While understandably not really a 1.2.6 candidate, I figured I'd post this now in hopes that it gets the ball rolling. The changes will help with a related bz to support libiscsi for SCSI passthrough devices where a <hostdev> entry for an iscsi adapter would be able to have <auth> data. The bulk of changes are code motion/merge. The details for each are: The first patch will create new API's which will then be used by the parse domain disk and the parse storage pool code if the "<auth" element is found. The logic merges the parsing found in the domain disk and storage pool code with one slight caveat - the domain disk code expects to find "<secret type='xxxx'", where xxxx is 'iscsi' or 'ceph'. Trying use the Type{To/From}String API's in virstoragefile.c resulted in a link time failure (even though secret_conf.h was included). Never quite figured it out - I will take suggestions though. Although since the domain disk code is all that really cares about it and the domain_conf code can use the Type{To/From}String API's - I just left it as is. The new copy API is used when the pool code needs to copy it's auth data into each domain disk's auth entry. The second patch will fix a not-run test that tests the auth. It seems it was not added to the active list of tests because the output generated did not include the "usage" information (eg " usage='mycluster_myname") that is part of the <secret> element. Additionally because it did not include it the output was "<secret type='iscsi' </auth>". So rather than ignore the test - add to the filters to avoid looking for "<secret" - through to the closing ">". The -auth.xml and -auth.args files needed adjustments to follow the non "-auth" version of the files that have changed over time, but not also changed int the "-auth" files. The third patch will cause the domain disk algorithms to utilize the new generic parse and format APIs as well as using the 'authdef' instead of the inline structure fields. This patch also restores the checking for </auth> in the recently restored auth test. Still avoiding the whole <secret... /> line as I saw no way to filter just the usage that's in the stored XML file. The fourth patch is a mostly innocuous html change - it could go early, but it just felt better in this place. The fifth patch will cause the storage pool algorithms to utilize the new generic parse/format API's as well as new authdef structure for accessing the data. The removal of the duplicated cephx/chap structures seems (in my mind at least) to simplify things. They were essentially copies of each other with no seemingly real value in keeping separate other than the visual in the code of ".chap." or ".cephx.".

[libvirt] [PATCH v4 0/5] Another version of active commit
by Eric Blake 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Rebased to latest libvirt.git, and still waiting on Jeff's qemu patches to go into qemu.git before I can push any of these, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-06/msg04060.html but reposting because of a feature Adam had been requesting: Patch 3/5 is new, and adds a new <activecommit/> marker to the 'virsh capabilities' output if qemu is detected as supporting active commit. I've resolved some of Peter's review comments in patches 1 and 2 (patch 1 underwent a bit of a rewrite to differentiate the qemu capability probe from normal use of the interface, and 2 dropped mention of RHEL 6.3 except in the commit message). At this point, I haven't altered 4 or 5, although I still need to do something about getting a persistent domain definition updated after a pivot changes the file in use by a running domain.

[libvirt] RFC: 'old' event for leaseshelper.c when lease renews
by Nehal J Wani 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

In the current version of dnsmasq, the leases helper script/program specified by --dhcp-script to dnsmasq is invoked on three events, 'add', 'old', 'del'. In short, add: -> a new lease has to be added to db del: -> a lease has to be deleted from db old:-> if lease has changed Now, the lease can be considered to be changed in 2 ways. [standard-change] The change could be to the associated hostname or MAC address [auxiliary-change] The change associated with expiry time or clientid When only --dhcp-script is set, 'old' events are sent only for standard-lease changes. But when --dhcp-script is set along with --leasefile-ro, 'old' events are sent for any change in the lease. So, right now, if a lease is renewed, the reflected change doesn't appear in our JSON formatted lease database <interface-name>.status. We have the following options with this: (i) We can simply add the --leasefile-ro option. But in that case, the leases file database which is generated by dnsmasq by the name <network-name>.leases will cease to exist. It won't contain any lease information. All lease database handling will be done by our leaseshelper. Note: this option given a lot of information which is not stored in <network-name>.leases file. (ii) We ask the dnsmasq developer(s) to add an extra command line option to enable auxiliary changes in lease to be propagated to leaseshelper via 'old' events. I had a small conversation with Simon Kelley, and he said: "Yes. For that application (libvirt), you clearly don't want a third-party patch. At very least I'd be willing to add a boolean option to dnsmasq which enables "old" events when the lease expiry time changes, independent of leasefile-ro." If we do this, then can retain <network-name>.leases and have our helper too. (iii) We do nothing. IMO, we should go for (i), since <network-name>.leases becomes obsolete, once we have our own leases helper. Also, enabling --leasefile-ro enables a lot of other options, like vendor-class, user-class, circuit-id and much more, which may be asked for in future and get added to the virNetworkDHCPLeases struct. But we will have to remove the option --dhcp-leasefile. Although it won't affect any existing APIs, if people did rely on the dnsmasq's generated leases file before, they will find it missing. There is one more point. The man page of dnsmasq for the leasefile-ro option, states, "In addition to the invocations given in --dhcp-script the lease-change script is called once, at dnsmasq startup, with the single argument "init". When called like this the script should write the saved state of the lease database, in dnsmasq leasefile format, to stdout and exit with zero exit code." This is something extra that we will have to add to leaseshelper if we go with (i). The easier option is to go with (ii), since Simon is already willing to add that functionality. -- Nehal J Wani
