[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix python error reporting for some storage operations
by Cole Robinson 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In the python bindings, all vir* classes expect to be passed a virConnect object when instantiated. Before the storage stuff, these classes were only instantiated in virConnect methods, so the generator is hardcoded to pass 'self' as the connection instance to these classes. Problem is there are some methods that return pool or vol instances which aren't called from virConnect: you can lookup a storage volume's associated pool, and can lookup volumes from a pool. In these cases passing 'self' doesn't give the vir* instance a connection, so when it comes time to raise an exception crap hits the fan. Rather than rework the generator to accomodate this edge case, I just fixed the init functions for virStorage* to pull the associated connection out of the passed value if it's not a virConnect instance. Thanks, Cole diff --git a/python/generator.py b/python/generator.py index 01a17da..c706b19 100755 --- a/python/generator.py +++ b/python/generator.py @@ -962,8 +962,12 @@ def buildWrappers(): list = reference_keepers[classname] for ref in list: classes.write(" self.%s = None\n" % ref[1]) - if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork", "virStoragePool", "virStorageVol" ]: + if classname in [ "virDomain", "virNetwork" ]: classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n") + elif classname in [ "virStorageVol", "virStoragePool" ]: + classes.write(" self._conn = conn\n" + \ + " if not isinstance(conn, virConnect):\n" + \ + " self._conn = conn._conn\n") classes.write(" if _obj != None:self._o = _obj;return\n") classes.write(" self._o = None\n\n"); destruct=None

[libvirt] Supporting vhost-net and macvtap in libvirt for QEMU
by Anthony Liguori 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Disclaimer: I am neither an SR-IOV nor a vhost-net expert, but I've CC'd people that are who can throw tomatoes at me for getting bits wrong :-) I wanted to start a discussion about supporting vhost-net in libvirt. vhost-net has not yet been merged into qemu but I expect it will be soon so it's a good time to start this discussion. There are two modes worth supporting for vhost-net in libvirt. The first mode is where vhost-net backs to a tun/tap device. This is behaves in very much the same way that -net tap behaves in qemu today. Basically, the difference is that the virtio backend is in the kernel instead of in qemu so there should be some performance improvement. Current, libvirt invokes qemu with -net tap,fd=X where X is an already open fd to a tun/tap device. I suspect that after we merge vhost-net, libvirt could support vhost-net in this mode by just doing -net vhost,fd=X. I think the only real question for libvirt is whether to provide a user visible switch to use vhost or to just always use vhost when it's available and it makes sense. Personally, I think the later makes sense. The more interesting invocation of vhost-net though is one where the vhost-net device backs directly to a physical network card. In this mode, vhost should get considerably better performance than the current implementation. I don't know the syntax yet, but I think it's reasonable to assume that it will look something like -net tap,dev=eth0. The effect will be that eth0 is dedicated to the guest. On most modern systems, there is a small number of network devices so this model is not all that useful except when dealing with SR-IOV adapters. In that case, each physical device can be exposed as many virtual devices (VFs). There are a few restrictions here though. The biggest is that currently, you can only change the number of VFs by reloading a kernel module so it's really a parameter that must be set at startup time. I think there are a few ways libvirt could support vhost-net in this second mode. The simplest would be to introduce a new tag similar to <source network='br0'>. In fact, if you probed the device type for the network parameter, you could probably do something like <source network='eth0'> and have it Just Work. Another model would be to have libvirt see an SR-IOV adapter as a network pool whereas it handled all of the VF management. Considering how inflexible SR-IOV is today, I'm not sure whether this is the best model. Has anyone put any more thought into this problem or how this should be modeled in libvirt? Michael, could you share your current thinking for -net syntax? -- Regards, Anthony Liguori

by Longpeng(Mike) 19 Nov '18

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Honour <on_reboot/>
by Michal Privoznik 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476866 For some reason, we completely ignore <on_reboot/> setting for domains. The implementation is simply not there. It never was. However, things are slightly more complicated. QEMU sends us two RESET events on domain reboot. Fortunately, the event contains this 'guest' field telling us who initiated the reboot. And since we don't want to destroy the domain if the reset is initiated by a user, we have to ignore those events. Whatever, just look at the code.

[libvirt] New QEMU daemon for persistent reservations
by Paolo Bonzini 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hi all, I am adding a new daemon to QEMU, that QEMU can connect to in order to issue persistent reservation commands. The daemon can only issue the commands on file descriptor that QEMU already has. In addition normal users shouldn't have access to the daemon's Unix socket in /run, so the daemon is protected against misuse. My question is what is the best way to handle the connection to the daemon socket. Currently, the path to the socket is passed to QEMU on the command line: -object pr-manager-helper,id=mgr,path=/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock \ -drive if=none,id=hd,driver=raw,filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=mgr \ -device scsi-block,drive=hd (the new parts are "-object pr-manager-helper" and "file.pr-manager"). I could just make it root:root and pass a file descriptor from libvirt to QEMU, but this would make it impossible for QEMU to reconnect to the daemon in case someone does a "systemctl restart" or even just kills it inadvertently. The daemon is stateless, so transparent reconnection would be a nice feature to have. The alternative is to somehow label the daemon socket so that it can be accessed by QEMU, but I'm not very well versed in SELinux. Any ideas? Paolo

[libvirt] Exposing mem-path in domain XML
by Michal Privoznik 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Dear list, there is the following bug [1] which I'm not quite sure how to grasp. So there is this application/infrastructure called Kove [2] that allows you to have memory for your application stored on a distant host in network and basically fetch needed region on pagefault. Now imagine that somebody wants to use it for backing up domain memory. However, the way that the tool works is it has some kernel module and then some userland binary that is fed with the path of the mmaped file. I don't know all the details, but the point is, in order to let users use this we need to expose the paths for mem-path for the guest memory. I know we did not want to do this in the past, but now it looks like we don't have a way around it, do we? Michal 1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1461214 2: http://kove.net
