[libvirt] [RFC] finegrained disk driver options control
by Denis V. Lunev 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hello, All! There is a problem in the current libvirt implementation. domain.xml allows to specify only basic set of options, especially in the case of QEMU, when there are really a lot of tweaks in format drivers. Most likely these options will never be supported in a good way in libvirt as recognizable entities. Right now in order to debug libvirt QEMU VM in production I am using very strange approach: - disk section of domain XML is removed - exact command line options to start the disk are specified at the end of domain.xml whithin <qemu:commandline> as described by Stefan http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/04/how-to-pass-qemu-command-line-options.html The problem is that when debug is finished and viable combinations of options is found I can not drop VM in such state in the production. This is the pain and problem. For example, I have spend 3 days with the VM of one customer which blames us for slow IO in the guest. I have found very good combination of non-standard options which increases disk performance 5 times (not 5%). Currently I can not put this combination in the production as libvirt does not see the disk. I propose to do very simple thing, may be I am not the first one here, but it would be nice to allow to pass arbitrary option to the QEMU command line. This could be done in a very generic way if we will allow to specify additional options inside <driver> section like this: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none' io='native' iothread='1'> <option name='l2-cache-size' value='64M/> <option name='cache-clean-interval' value='32'/> </driver> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7.qcow2'/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> and so on. The meaning (at least for QEMU) is quite simple - these options will just be added to the end of the -drive command line. The meaning for other drivers should be the same and I think that there are ways to pass generic options in them. Any opinion? Den

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Don't try to update undefined guest CPU
by Jiri Denemark 20 Mar '17

Calling virCPUUpdateLive on a domain with no guest CPU configuration does not make sense. Especially when doing so would crash libvirtd.

There is a tradeoff here between wanting to be reminded at compile time but seeing build breakage, and libvirt wanting to be able to extend its config info without breaking apps.
