Hi Team I need to launch LXC VM using ethernet network type using libvirt.While trying the same, I'm getting below errors .. *error: internal error: Unsupported network type ethernet* Is there any patch available to add ethernet support to Libvirt with LXC VM ? Please let me know regarding this. Thanks Sonia Verma

[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: libxl_domain_create_restore has an extra argument
by Wei Liu 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

In the latest libxenlight code, libxl_domain_create_restore accepts a new argument. Update libvirt's libxl driver for that. Use the macro provided by libxenlight to detect which version should be used. The new parameter (send_back_fd) is set to -1 because libvirt provides no such fd.

[libvirt] 200ms delay waiting for qemu monitor
by Richard W.M. Jones 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

[Thanks to Dan Berrangé for doing the analysis of this one] I was investigating a 200+ millisecond delay when libvirt starts a qemu guest. You can see the traces here: http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/libvirt.log http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/libvirtd.log The delay happens at around 16:52:57.327-6:52:57.528 in the libvirtd log. As you can see the delay is almost precisely 200ms. Dan found the cause which seems to be this code: https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c;h=1… (There are other examples of the same anti-pattern in src/fdstream.c and src/qemu/qemu_agent.c, but it's the particular code above which seems to be causing the delay). To give you some sense why I regard this as a problem, the TOTAL time taken to launch and shutdown the libguestfs appliance (that includes qemu, BIOS, guest kernel, probing and mouting disks, running the guestfs daemon, and the shutdown process in reverse), without libvirt, is now 900ms. Libvirt adds about 220ms on top of this. What can we do about this? Obviously we could simply reduce the delay, but even if it was set to 20ms, that would be too much (aim is to reduce the whole process from 900ms down to 150ms), and it would also mean that libvirt was essentially polling. Can we use inotify to detect if the socket has been created? Seems to create portability problems. Dan suggested: Can we create the socket in libvirtd and pass it to qemu? Can we pass a file descriptor to qemu? Other suggestions?

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/3] qemu: Explicitly check for gnutls_rnd()
by Andrea Bolognani 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Patch 1 fixes a bug in configure. Patch 2 performs a minor cleanup. Patch 3 is the fix for the build issues currently experienced on CentOS 6 (see [1]). Changes from v1: * update CFLAGS and LIBS before performing the check, so that the compiler can actually find the function Cheers.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] host-validate: Improve CPU flags processing
by Andrea Bolognani 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Instead of relying on substring search, tokenize the input and process each CPU flag separately. This ensures CPU flag detection will continue to work correctly even if we start looking for CPU flags whose name might appear as part of other CPU flags' names. The result of processing is stored in a virBitmap, which means we don't have to parse /proc/cpuinfo in its entirety for each single CPU flag we want to check. Moreover, use of the newly-introduced virHostValidateCPUFlag enumeration ensures we don't go looking for random CPU flags which might actually be simple typos. --- Changes in v2: * use virStringSplitCount() and STRPREFIX() instead of strtok_r() and strcmp(), as suggested by Peter tools/virt-host-validate-common.c | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- tools/virt-host-validate-common.h | 13 +++++++- tools/virt-host-validate-qemu.c | 12 +++++-- 3 files changed, 77 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c b/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c index 8ebf73e..3305a32 100644 --- a/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c +++ b/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c @@ -31,7 +31,6 @@ #endif /* HAVE_MNTENT_H */ #include <sys/stat.h> -#include "virutil.h" #include "viralloc.h" #include "virfile.h" #include "virt-host-validate-common.h" @@ -39,6 +38,10 @@ #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_NONE +VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virHostValidateCPUFlag, VIR_HOST_VALIDATE_CPU_FLAG_LAST, + "vmx", + "svm"); + static bool quiet; void virHostMsgSetQuiet(bool quietFlag) @@ -188,29 +191,64 @@ int virHostValidateNamespace(const char *hvname, } -bool virHostValidateHasCPUFlag(const char *name) +virBitmapPtr virHostValidateGetCPUFlags(void) { - FILE *fp = fopen("/proc/cpuinfo", "r"); - bool ret = false; + FILE *fp; + virBitmapPtr flags; - if (!fp) - return false; + if (!(fp = fopen("/proc/cpuinfo", "r"))) + return NULL; + + if (!(flags = virBitmapNewQuiet(VIR_HOST_VALIDATE_CPU_FLAG_LAST))) + return NULL; do { char line[1024]; + char *start; + char **tokens; + size_t ntokens; + size_t i; if (!fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp)) break; - if (strstr(line, name)) { - ret = true; - break; + /* The line we're interested in is marked either as "flags" or + * as "Features" depending on the architecture, so check both + * prefixes */ + if (!STRPREFIX(line, "flags") && !STRPREFIX(line, "Features")) + continue; + + /* fgets() includes the trailing newline in the output buffer, + * so we need to clean that up ourselves.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Check for gnutls_rnd() explicitly
by Andrea Bolognani 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Our use of gnutls_rnd() is conditional to the availability of the <gnutls/crypto.h> header file. Such check, however, turns out not to be strict enough as there are some versions of gnutls (eg. 2.8.5 as available in CentOS 6) that provide the header file, but not the function itself, which was introduced in 2.12.0. Introduce an explicit check for the function itself. --- Would qualify as a build breaker (see [1]) but I'd rather have some feedback before pushing it.
