[libvirt] [PATCH] network: avoid existing bridges during rpm install of default network
by Laine Stump 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

When we install the libvirt-daemon-config-network package from an rpm, the specfile checks that the subnet used for the default network isn't already used, but blindly assumes that virbr0 is available. This is almost always the case, but there could be a situation where someone was already using virbr0 for their own network, then decided to install libvirt-daemon-config-network, leading to a failure when they tried to start the default network. This patch adds a bit to the %post script for the daemon-network-config package (in the specfile, used only for .rpm packages) that checks "ip link show" and the existing libvirt network xml files in a loop to find the lowest numbered virbrN that is currently unused by either. (note that we already check for in-use bridge devices when defining a network in libvirt's network driver, but the rpm install bypasses libvirt (which may not yet be fully functional) and creates the xml file itself). --- I found this sitting in a source tree, written a few months ago and forgotten. It is a followup to commit 37b8bc6f, which added a similar check in the network driver during virNetworkDefineXML(). I vaguely recall someone reporting this problem on IRC or maybe on one of the mailing lists (they had created a bridge manually using the name virbr0, then when they installed libvirt, it happily made a network definition using virbr0). Yes, not very common, but possible. libvirt.spec.in | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index 78a4cc3..931c5b9 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -1793,8 +1793,24 @@ if test $1 -eq 1 && test ! -f %{_sysconfdir}/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml ; ;; esac + # find an unused bridge device named virbrN (this assumes that the + # original name in default.xml is exactly "virbr0", so do not + # change it there without also changing orig_br). + orig_br=0 + br=${orig_br} + while ip link show virbr${br} >/dev/null 2>&1 ||\ + (grep '<bridge ' %{_sysconfdir}/libvirt/qemu/networks/*.xml |\ + grep virbr${br} >/dev/null 2>&1); do + br=$(expr ${br} + 1) + # safety to prevent an endless loop + if test ${br} -gt 256; then + break; + fi + done + UUID=`/usr/bin/uuidgen` sed -e "s/${orig_sub}/${sub}/g" \ + -e "s/virbr${orig_br}/virbr${br}/" \ -e "s,</name>,</name>\n <uuid>$UUID</uuid>," \ < %{_datadir}/libvirt/networks/default.xml \ > %{_sysconfdir}/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml -- 2.4.3

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Fix migration from older libvirt with hugepages
by Martin Kletzander 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Since libvirt is able to use memory-backend-{ram,file}, we were using it unconditionally, then we realized it might break migration from older libvirt, so we fixed the memory-backend-ram, but forgot about memory-backend-file. This series fixes the file backend as well and uses the memory-backend-file only when it is needed. Fortunately, there is no verison of libvirt that would know about such configuration and, at the same time, not use these new objects, so there is no old libvirt from which the migration would be broken from (due to this particular reason). Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1266856 Martin Kletzander (5): qemu: Move simplification variable to begining of the function qemu: Move memory size detection to the top of the function qemu: Extract -mem-path building into its own function qemu: Add -mem-path even with numa qemu: Use memory-backing-file only when needed src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 166 ++++++++++++--------- .../qemuxml2argv-hugepages-numa.args | 6 +- .../qemuxml2argv-hugepages-pages6.args | 2 +- 3 files changed, 100 insertions(+), 74 deletions(-) -- 2.6.0

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/6] Fix some Coverity issues
by John Ferlan 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Newer Coverity (7.7.0) found a couple real issues and a few more false positives. There's still a few more to be resolved, but still trying to figure them out... libxlDomainMigrationPrepare - claim is args is leaked. Although it seems to be handled in libxlMigrateReceive or libxlDoMigrateReceive. Don't know the code well enough to do proper triage. qemuProcessStop - claim is usage of net->ifname in the condition (vport->virtPortType == VIR_NETDEV_VPORT_PROFILE_OPENVSWITCH) is using a NULL net->ifname that would have been VIR_FREE()'d when case VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT a few lines above. qemuDomainBlockRebase - claim is overwriting 'dest' after call to qemuDomainBlockCopyCommon causes resource leak. Although reading code says otherwise, except of course if CopyCommon goes to cleanup rather than endjob. Even changing the location doesn't resolve the issue. Fix the Coverity tag for the DEADCODE... It's always a coin-flip either dead_error_begin or dead_error_condition - I gave Jiri bad advice as to which one to use it seems.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Add conditions for qemu-kvm use on ppc64
by Andrea Bolognani 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

qemu-kvm can be used to run ppc64 guests on ppc64le hosts and vice versa, since the hardware is actually the same and the endianness is chosen by the guest kernel. Up until now, however, libvirt didn't allow the use of qemu-kvm to run guests if their endianness didn't match the host's.

[libvirt] nested HVM in libxl againagain.
by Alvin Starr 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

A while back I posted a patch to add nested HVM to libvirt and libxl. Something made me think the patch got accepted and incorporated into libvirt(It must have been the sleep deprivation). I noticed that the latest still does not support nested hvm(under xen). Should I try posting a patch again or just live with keeping my own copy? -- Alvin Starr || voice: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin(a)netvel.net ||
