[libvirt] Exact meaning of "nativeMode" attribute in vlan tags
by Laine Stump 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

You'd think that I would know this, since I'm the person who reviewed jrobson's patch adding support for the nativeMode attribute to the vlan tag element. But you'd be wrong. Here is what the config looks like: <vlan trunk='yes'> <tag id='42' nativeMode='untagged'/> <tag id='47'/> </vlan> I understand that trunk='yes' means that packets with any of the tags listed in a <tag> subelement can be sent out this port (and the tag will *not* be removed), and likewise packets arriving into the bridge from the port are allowed to have any of the listed tags (and, again, no tag will be removed). But what exactly do nativeMode='untagged' and nativeMode='tagged' mean? As I understand it, (nativeMode='untagged'|nativeMode='tagged') means that packets (arriving from|sent to) the port (without a tag/with that tag) will be (tagged|untagged). Can someone who fully understands this please select A or B for each of the 4 parenthesized items (in as many permutations as make sense). I guess that in one of the modes, untagged packets going in one direction or the other will be tagged, and vice versa, I just don't know which direction does which, and for which mode, and don't want to guess. (I'm asking this because I want to implement identical functionality for standard Linux host bridges - I want to make sure there are no surprises for people switching between OVS and Linux host bridge implementations).

[libvirt] Plan for next release
by Daniel Veillard 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Oops, Feb is really short and I got caught, I think if we want a release by beginning of March, i.e. next week we need to enter freeze ASAP. So I'm suggesting to start the freeze tomorrow, for a release on Monday if everything goes well ! Hope this suits everybody, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Check for negative port values in network drive configuration
by Erik Skultety 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

We interpret port values as signed int (convert them from char *), so if anegative value is provided in network disk's configuration, we accept it as valid, however there's an 'unknown cause' error raised later. This error is only accidental because we return the port value in the return code. This patch adds just a minor tweak to the already existing check so we reject negative values the same way as we reject non-numerical strings.

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/24] Move all NUMA related configuration into one structure
by Peter Krempa 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Due to historical madne^Wreasons the NUMA configuration is split between /domain/cpu and /domain/numatune. Internally the data was also split into two places.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] libvirt-guests: Allow time sync on guests resume
by Michal Privoznik 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Well, imagine domains were running, and as the host went down, they were managesaved. Later, after some time, the host went up again and domains got restored. But without correct time. And depending on how long was the host shut off, it may take some time for ntp to sync the time too. But hey, wait a minute. We have an API just for that! So: 1) Introduce SYNC_TIME variable in libvirt-guests.sysconf to allow users control over the new functionality 2) Call 'virsh domtime --sync $dom' in the libvirt-guests script. Unfortunately, this is all-or-nothing approach (just like anything else with the script). Domains are required to have configured and running qemu-ga inside.

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: fix vcpupin info
by Pavel Hrdina 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

The "virDomainGetInfo" will get for running domain only live info and for offline domain only config info. There was no way how to get config info for running domain. We will use "vshCPUCountCollect" instead to get the correct cpu count that we need to pass to "virDomainGetVcpuPinInfo". Also cleanup some unnecessary variables and checks that are done by drivers.
