[libvirt] Plans for next release
by Daniel Veillard 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Hi all, we are getting close to the end of the month, and I think we should enter freeze over the week-end. Then I can try to push an RC2 on Tuesday and make the GA release on the 2nd Nov (I'm travelling ATM and Nov 1st is closed, not sure I could do this that day). Hope this works for everyone, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Developers Tools http://developer.redhat.com/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[libvirt] [PATCH] spec: Restart libvirtd in posttrans
by Jiri Denemark 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

When upgrading libvirt packages, there's no strict ordering for the installation or removal of the individual libvirt sub packages. Thus libvirt-daemon may be upgraded (and its %postun scriptlet) started before all sub packages with driver libraries are upgraded. When libvirt-daemon's %postun scriptlet restarts the daemon old drivers may still be laying around and the daemon may crash when it tries to use them. Let's restart the daemon in %posttrans to make sure libvirtd is restarted only after all sub packages are at the same version. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1464300 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar(a)redhat.com> --- libvirt.spec.in | 16 +++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index 0123d0655..73e647cb5 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -1554,13 +1554,11 @@ fi if [ $1 -ge 1 ] ; then /bin/systemctl reload-or-try-restart virtlockd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : /bin/systemctl reload-or-try-restart virtlogd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : - /bin/systemctl try-restart libvirtd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi %else if [ $1 -ge 1 ]; then /sbin/service virtlockd reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || : /sbin/service virtlogd reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || : - /sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1 fi %endif @@ -1570,10 +1568,16 @@ fi if [ "$1" -ge "1" ]; then /sbin/service virtlockd reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || : /sbin/service virtlogd reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || : - /sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1 fi %endif +%posttrans daemon +%if %{with_systemd} +/bin/systemctl try-restart libvirtd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : +%else +/sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1 || : +%endif + # In upgrade scenario we must explicitly enable virtlockd/virtlogd # sockets, if libvirtd is already enabled and start them if # libvirtd is running, otherwise you'll get failures to start @@ -1642,11 +1646,13 @@ fi %post daemon-config-nwfilter cp %{_datadir}/libvirt/nwfilter/*.xml %{_sysconfdir}/libvirt/nwfilter/ + +%posttrans daemon-config-nwfilter # Make sure libvirt picks up the new nwfilter defininitons %if %{with_systemd} - /bin/systemctl try-restart libvirtd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 ||: +/bin/systemctl try-restart libvirtd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : %else - /sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1 || : +/sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1 || : %endif -- 2.14.2

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: domain: Fix option handling in domxml-to-native
by Peter Krempa 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Commit fdeac7a05fdf85458d72e89efcfa0f444525aaad tried to fix the output of 'virsh --help domxml-to-native' by switching types around. One of the changes broke the option parser. VSH_OT_ARGV should be used only for variable argument count, not to make the help generator look pretty. The correct option type in this case is VSH_OT_STRING as it's not mandatory now since it can be substituted by using --domain. This makes --help for this command look incorrect, but the parser works as it should.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Reset hasManagedSave after removing a corrupted image
by Jiri Denemark 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

When starting a domain with managed save image, we try to restore it first. If the image is corrupted, we silently unlink it and just normally start the domain. At this point the domain has no managed save image, yet we did not reset the hasManagedSave flag. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1460962 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar(a)redhat.com> --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 32a416f9e..74fdfdb0f 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -7256,6 +7256,7 @@ qemuDomainObjStart(virConnectPtr conn, } else { VIR_WARN("Ignoring incomplete managed state %s", managed_save); priv->job.current->operation = op; + vm->hasManagedSave = false; } } } -- 2.14.2

[libvirt] [PATCH] iohelper: use saferead if later write with O_DIRECT
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

One of the usecases of iohelper is to read from pipe and write to file with O_DIRECT. As we read from pipe we can have partial read and then we fail to write this data because output file is open with O_DIRECT and buffer size is not aligned. --- src/util/iohelper.c | 16 ++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/iohelper.c b/src/util/iohelper.c index 5416d45..bb8a8dd 100644 --- a/src/util/iohelper.c +++ b/src/util/iohelper.c @@ -109,9 +109,21 @@ runIO(const char *path, int fd, int oflags) while (1) { ssize_t got; - if ((got = read(fdin, buf, buflen)) < 0) { - if (errno == EINTR) + /* If we read with O_DIRECT from file we can't use saferead as + * it can lead to unaligned read after reading last bytes. + * If we write with O_DIRECT use should use saferead so that + * writes will be aligned. + * In other cases using saferead reduces number of syscalls. + */ + if (fdin == fd && direct) { + if ((got = read(fdin, buf, buflen)) < 0 && + errno == EINTR) continue; + } else { + got = saferead(fdin, buf, buflen); + } + + if (got < 0) { virReportSystemError(errno, _("Unable to read %s"), fdinname); goto cleanup; } -- 1.8.3.1

[libvirt] [PATCH v1 0/5] Predictable file names for memory-backend-file
by Michal Privoznik 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

As discussed here [1], for some types of environment it's important to allocate memory upfront. In such cases libvirt needs to reuse the paths. However, since we don't want to expose the paths anywhere, reversed approach is implemented. If enabled in config file, libvirt builds predictable paths for memory-backend-file. 1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-October/msg01036.html As usual, you can also find all the patches on my github: https://github.com/zippy2/libvirt/tree/aliases_from_user_v2 (Why v2?

[libvirt] libvirt not wanting to read back its own interface XML
by Marc Haber 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Hi, I'm trying to give libvirt knowlegde of a VLAN interface that is configured by a different means and not by libvirt. To figure out the syntax, I created a VLAN interface through virt-manager and dumped out the XML: <interface type='vlan' name='ens3.180'> <protocol family='ipv6'> <ip address='2a01:4f8:150:436c::55:100' prefix='64'/> <ip address='fe80::5054:ff:fe30:e0d1' prefix='64'/> </protocol> <link speed='4294967295' state='up'/> <vlan tag='180'> <interface name='ens3'/> </vlan> </interface> I then removed the Interface in virt-manager and tried to have libvirt read back its own XML. [12/784]mh@testsid85:~ $ virsh iface-dumpxml ens3.180 > ens3.180.xml [13/785]mh@testsid85:~ $ virsh iface-define ens3.180.xml error: Failed to define interface from ens3.180.xml error: XML error: could not get interface XML description: XML invalid - Expecting an element start, got nothing What is going on here? How do I define a VLAN interface via XML? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
