[libvirt] VMware driver: SessionIsActive API / Sessions.ValidateSession permission
by Richard W.M. Jones 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

The VMware driver currently calls the SessionIsActive API, which requires the vCenter Sessions.ValidateSession permission. https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/esx/esx_vi.c;h=af822b14… This causes a problem that you have to give this permission to any libvirt client accessing VMware, and you have to give it from the very top level of vCenter, all the way down through the Cluster, Folder, hypervisor levels. This has caused a bit of pushback from virt-v2v users who consider that the SessionIsActive API is an "admin" API which they don't want to give out to roles using v2v. Is calling SessionIsActive necessary? From my (very limited) understanding, it seems as if we might use 'SessionManager. currentSession' property instead, which doesn't require admin permissions. Actually the code [see link above] already does this when ctx->hasSessionIsActive is false, but that doesn't apply to modern vCenter. See also https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=5699034b65afd49d91dff… which doesn't really explain why this was added. Also, why is it even necessary to check if the session is active here? Shouldn't we just log in unconditionally?

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/5] Add virtio-gpu & virgl support
by Marc-André Lureau 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

The following series allow using virtio-gpu and virgl if qemu support it. Ths Spice bits are not yet in qemu 2.5, but should make it in 2.6 and I added the RFC patches that are expected to not change much. v1->v2: addressing Ján Tomko review - update accel2d/accel3d to be tristate and fix its usage - use a single QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIRTIO_GPU cap for -device virtio-gpu-* & virtio-vga - remove qemu legacy, -vga support or command line parsing - add xml2xml tests - squash xml2argvtests with their respecitve feature addition commits - update libvirt version in doc - update commit messages Marc-André Lureau (5): Replace support{2d,3d} with accel{2d,3d} domain: replace bool accel{2d,3d} with a tristate qemu: add virtio video device qemu: add virtio-gpu virgl support RFC qemu: add spice opengl support docs/formatdomain.html.in | 11 +- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 6 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 84 +- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 6 +- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 12 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 40 +- src/vbox/vbox_common.c | 18 +- src/vz/vz_sdk.c | 2 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.2.2-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.3.1-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.4.2-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.5.3-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.6.0-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.6.50-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.1.1-1.replies | 22 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.4.0-1.caps | 1 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.4.0-1.replies | 95 +- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0-1.caps | 168 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0-1.replies | 4043 ++++++++++++++++++++ tests/qemucapabilitiestest.c | 1 + .../qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-device.args | 23 + .../qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-device.xml | 31 + .../qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-spice-gl.args | 23 + .../qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-spice-gl.xml | 36 + .../qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-virgl.args | 23 + .../qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-virgl.xml | 33 + tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 14 + tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c | 4 + 29 files changed, 4732 insertions(+), 99 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0-1.caps create mode 100644 tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0-1.replies create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-device.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-device.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-spice-gl.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-spice-gl.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-virgl.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-video-virtio-gpu-virgl.xml -- 2.5.0

[libvirt] Libvirtd and OSX... with QEMU
by Justin Clift 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Heyas, Interestingly on OSX, starting libvirtd (1.3.1) indicates it can see the installed QEMU. However, it crashes out shortly afterwards with a weird error: 2016-01-17 22:02:17.159+0000: 18446744073709551615: error : virEventPollRunOnce:648 : Unable to poll on file handles: Bad file descriptor Does anyone know what that might be about, and/or how to capture more meaningful info? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] virsh: Remove <backingStore> when changing cdrom media source
by Peter Krempa 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Since the code is changing the source image path by modifying the existing XML snippet the <backingStore> stays in place. As <backingStore> is relevant to the <source> part of the image, the update of that part makes the element invalid. CD/floppy images usually don't have a backing chain and the element is currently ignored though but it might start being used in the future so let's start behaving correctly. Drop the <backingStore> subtree once we want to update the XML. Before this patch, you'd get: $ virsh change-media --eject --print-xml 10 hdc <disk type="file" device="cdrom"> <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2"/> <backingStore type="file" index="1"> <format type="qcow2"/> <source file="/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm.1436949097"/> <backingStore/> </backingStore> <target dev="hdc" bus="ide"/> ... </disk> After: $ virsh change-media --eject --print-xml 10 hdc <disk type="file" device="cdrom"> <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2"/> <target dev="hdc" bus="ide"/> ... </disk> --- Notes: v2: - adapted to new version of code - fixed use after free from previous version - added more text to commit message tools/virsh-domain.c | 12 +++++++++++- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/virsh-domain.c b/tools/virsh-domain.c index bf65a60..83edb21 100644 --- a/tools/virsh-domain.c +++ b/tools/virsh-domain.c @@ -11052,6 +11052,7 @@ virshUpdateDiskXML(xmlNodePtr disk_node, { xmlNodePtr tmp = NULL; xmlNodePtr source = NULL; + xmlNodePtr backingStore = NULL; xmlNodePtr target_node = NULL; xmlNodePtr text_node = NULL; char *device_type = NULL; @@ -11092,13 +11093,22 @@ virshUpdateDiskXML(xmlNodePtr disk_node, if (xmlStrEqual(tmp->name, BAD_CAST "target")) target_node = tmp; + if (xmlStrEqual(tmp->name, BAD_CAST "backingStore")) + backingStore = tmp; + /* * We've found all we needed. */ - if (source && target_node) + if (source && target_node && backingStore) break; } + /* drop the <backingStore> subtree since it would become invalid */ + if (backingStore) { + xmlUnlinkNode(backingStore); + xmlFreeNode(backingStore); + } + if (type == VIRSH_UPDATE_DISK_XML_EJECT) { if (!source) { vshError(NULL, _("The disk device '%s' doesn't have media"), target); -- 2.6.2
