[libvirt] [PATCH] lxc: Don't pass a local variable address randomly
by Michal Privoznik 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

So, recently I was testing the LXC driver. You know, startup some domains. But to my surprise, I was not able to start a single one: virsh # start --console test error: Reconnected to the hypervisor error: Failed to start domain test error: internal error: guest failed to start: unexpected exit status 125 So I've start digging. It turns out, that in virExec(), when I printed out the @cmd, I got strange values: *(cmd->outfdptr) was certainly not valid FD number: it has random value of several millions. This obviously made prepareStdFd(childout, STDOUT_FILENO) fail (line 611). But outfdptr is set in virCommandSetOutputFD(). The only place within LXC driver where the function is called is in virLXCProcessBuildControllerCmd(). If you take a closer look at the function it looks like this: static virCommandPtr virLXCProcessBuildControllerCmd(virLXCDriverPtr driver, .. int logfd, const char *pidfile) { ... virCommandSetOutputFD(cmd, &logfd); virCommandSetErrorFD(cmd, &logfd); ... } Yes, you guessed it. @logfd is passed into the function by value. However, in the function we try to get its address (an address of a local variable) which is no longer valid once function is finished and stack is cleaned. Therefore when cmd->outfdptr is evaluated at any point after this function, we may get a random number, depending on what's currently on the stack. Of course, this may work sometimes too - it depends on the compiler how it arranges the code, when the stack is wiped out. In order to fix this, lets pass a pointer to @logfd instead of figuring out (wrong) its value in a function. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> --- I'd love to target this into the current release - in my case LXC driver is unusable without this patch.

[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Dashti Margo" release 0.6.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.6.0, is now available for download ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/sandbox/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) The libvirt-sandbox package provides an API layer on top of libvirt-gobject which facilitates the cration of application sandboxes using virtualization technology. An application sandbox is a virtual machine or container that runs a single application binary, directly from the host OS filesystem. In other words there is no separate guest operating system install to build or manager. At this point in time libvirt-sandbox can create sandboxes using either LXC or KVM, and should in theory be extendable to any libvirt driver. This release contains a mixture of new features and bug fixes - API/ABI in-compatible change, soname increased - Prevent use of virt-sandbox-service as non-root upfront - Fix misc memory leaks - Block SIGHUP from the dhclient binary to prevent accidental death if the controlling terminal is closed & reopened - Add support for re-creating libvirt XML from sandbox config to facilitate upgrades - Switch to standard gobject introspection autoconf macros - Add ability to set filters on network interfaces - Search /usr/lib instead of /lib for systemd unit files, as the former is the canonical location even when / and /usr are merged - Only set SELinux labels on hosts that support SELinux - Explicitly link to selinux, instead of relying on indirect linkage - Update compiler warning flags - Fix misc docs comments - Don't assume use of SELinux in virt-sandbox-service - Fix path checks for SUSUE in virt-sandbox-service - Add support for AppArmour profiles - Mount /var after other FS to ensure host image is available - Ensure state/config dirs can be accessed when QEMU is running non-root for qemu:///system - Fix mounting of host images in QEMU sandboxes - Mount images as ext4 instead of ext3 - Allow use of non-raw disk images as filesystem mounts - Check if required static libs are available at configure time to prevent silent fallback to shared linking - Require libvirt-glib >= 0.2.1 - Add support for loading lzma and gzip compressed kmods - Check for support libvirt URIs when starting guests to ensure clear error message upfront - Add LIBVIRT_SANDBOX_INIT_DEBUG env variable to allow debugging of kernel boot messages and sandbox init process setup - Add support for exposing block devices to sandboxes with a predictable name under /dev/disk/by-tag/TAGNAME - Use devtmpfs instead of tmpfs for auto-populating /dev in QEMU sandboxes - Allow setup of sandbox with custom root filesystem instead of inheriting from host's root. - Allow execution of apps from non-matched ld-linux.so / libc.so, eg executing F19 binaries on F22 host - Use passthrough mode for all QEMU filesystems Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/2] Fix nodeinfo output on PPC64 KVM hosts
by Shivaprasad G Bhat 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

The nodeinfo is reporting incorrect number of cpus and incorrect host topology on PPC64 KVM hosts. The KVM hypervisor on PPC64 needs only the primary thread in a core to be online, and the secondaries offlined. While scheduling a guest in, the kvm scheduler wakes up the secondaries to run in guest context. The host scheduling of the guests happen at the core level(as only primary thread is online). The kvm scheduler exploits as many threads of the core as needed by guest. Further, starting POWER8, the processor allows splitting a physical core into multiple subcores with 2 or 4 threads each. Again, only the primary thread in a subcore is online in the host. The KVM-PPC scheduler allows guests to exploit all the offline threads in the subcore, by bringing them online when needed. (Kernel patches on split-core http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm-ppc/msg09121.html) Recently with dynamic micro-threading changes in ppc-kvm, makes sure to utilize all the offline cpus across guests, and across guests with different cpu topologies. (https://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg115978.html) Since the offline cpus are brought online in the guest context, it is safe to count them as online. Nodeinfo today discounts these offline cpus from cpu count/topology calclulation, and the nodeinfo output is not of any help and the host appears overcommited when it is actually not. The patch carefully counts those offline threads whose primary threads are online. The host topology displayed by the nodeinfo is also fixed when the host is in valid kvm state.

[libvirt] [PATCH] storage: add RBD support to disk source pool translation
by Thibault VINCENT 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hello, We needed this to avoid redundancies when defining domains with RBD backends, because monitor list and authentication secret could not be pulled from the storage pool. I didn't find any bit of documentation to update, actually it already implies that disks with source type 'volume' would work with all kinds of backing pools. But mpath, sheepdog, and gluster would still require an implementation if it's possible. Using RBD volumes this way still has a limitation, we cannot list snapshots in libvirt pools. Whereas they could be accessed read-only if the domain is using a network source explicitely with a 'snapshot' attribute. How could we implement this so that snapshots are seen as pool volumes? There are real use-cases for this like attaching to a VM a backup from it's own disks. Also it would work the same way with ZFS snapshots, but AFAIK not for LVM pools.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2][1.2.17] qemu: fix address allocation on chardev hotplug
by Ján Tomko 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

For bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230039 Patch 1/2 fixes a regression in channel device hotplug which was introduced in the last release and I would like to get it fixed before the next one. Patch 2/2 is not that important, but still a bugfix.
