[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: snapshot: better error for active external readonly disk
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

External snapshot of readonly disk of active domain is impossible but error message [1] is cryptic (it's source is qemu). Let's make error message more user friendly. The problem is libvirtd precreates snapshot image with no write permission which is not expected by qemu. [1] current error message error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'transaction': Could not create file: Permission denied Signed-off-by: Nikolay Shirokovskiy <nshirokovskiy(a)virtuozzo.com> --- By the way if domain is not active then snapshot is possible. However top image will have write permissions after snapshot. We can make snapshot work for active domain I guess if we precreate writable snapshot image, but then we end up running readonly disk on writable image. Also making snapshot of readonly disk is not that practical so let's just fix error message for now. src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index a52e249..e75931e 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -14683,6 +14683,14 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotPrepare(virDomainObjPtr vm, active, reuse) < 0) goto cleanup; + if (dom_disk->src->readonly && active) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, + _("external snapshot for readonly disk %s " + "of active domain is not supported"), + disk->name); + goto cleanup; + } + external++; break; -- 1.8.3.1

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 00/20] Incremental Backup API additions
by Eric Blake 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

The following is the latest version of my API proposal for incremental backups, and matches the demo I will be presenting as part of my KVM Forum 2018 talk tomorrow afternoon: https://kvmforum2018.sched.com/event/FzuB/facilitating-incremental-backup-e… The patches are also available via https://repo.or.cz/libvirt/ericb.git at the tag backup-v3. The qemu integration is still incomplete (I don't have push mode backups working, only pull mode; and there are still some things to fine-tune as I figure out how to better support external snapshots and block commit/stream), and I still haven't gotten any opinions on whether it is better to have: virDomainSnapshotCreateXML("<domainsnapshot>...") # existing virDomainBackupBegin("<domainbackup>...", "<domaincheckpoint>...") # this series virDomainSnapshotCheckpointCreateXML("<domainsnapshot>...", "<domaincheckpoint>...") # new or to make checkpoint creation part of the snapshot and backup XML, as in: virDomainSnapshotCreateXML("<domainsnapshot><domaincheckpoint>...</domainsnapshot>") # extension of existing virDomainBackupBegin("<domainbackup><domaincheckpoint>...</domainbackup>") # tweak to this series It's also obvious that we don't want to check in the qemu implementation until after Peter's blockdev work has landed AND qemu has gotten rid of the x- prefix in its QMP interactions, although the state of this series SHOULD be sufficient to prove that the proposed interface is at least flexible enough to adapt to whatever qemu tweaks land and whatever other hypervisors may support. Whether to accept the API now (to make backporting qemu support downstream across versions without rebasing to an even later date for the API) is a harder question; Jirka has already expressed distaste at the idea. There are probably still loads of things needing fixing in this version, I already know I did not address all of Peter's review comments on v2. My unit test coverage is not very complete on the XML parsing, and there are definitely some hacks in place to get things to the point of a working demo that need to be polished for robustness. Below is a diff since the v2 posting (patches 1-10 here, for later patches a comparison against the state of my tree at the time I posted v2):

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] snapshot: Don't hose list on deletion failure
by Eric Blake 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

If qemuDomainSnapshotDiscard() fails for any reason (rare, but possible with an ill-timed ENOMEM or if qemuDomainSnapshotForEachQcow2() has problems talking to the qemu guest monitor), then an attempt to retry the snapshot deletion API will crash because we didn't undo the effects of virDomainSnapshotDropParent() temporarily rearranging the internal list structures, and the second attempt to drop parents will dereference NULL. Fix it by instead noting that there are only two callers to qemuDomainSnapshotDiscard(), and only one of the two callers wants the parent to be updated; thus we can move the call to virDomainSnapshotDropParent() into a code path that only gets executed on success.

[libvirt] [PATCH v7 00/14] PCI passthrough support on s390
by Yi Min Zhao 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Abstract ======== The PCI representation in QEMU has been extended for S390 allowing configuration of zPCI attributes like uid (user-defined identifier) and fid (PCI function identifier). The details can be found here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg07262.html To support the new zPCI feature of the S390 platform, a new element of PCI address is introduced. It has two optional attributes, @uid and @fid. For example: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0001' bus='0x00' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'> <zpci uid='0x0003' fid='0x00000027'/> </address> </hostdev> If they are defined by the user, unique values within the guest domain must be used. If they are not specified and the architecture requires them, they are automatically generated with non-conflicting values. zPCI address as an extension of the PCI address are stored in a new structure 'virZPCIDeviceAddress' which is a member of common PCI Address structure. Additionally, two hashtables are used for assignment and reservation of zPCI uid/fid. In support of extending the PCI address, a new PCI address extension flag is introduced. This extension flag allows is not only dedicated for the S390 platform but also other architectures needing certain extensions to PCI address space.

[libvirt] [PATCH v1 1/1] qemu_domain, qemu_process: maxCpus check to non-x86 guests
by Daniel Henrique Barboza 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

This patch makes two quality of life changes for non-x86 guests. The first one is a maxCpus validation at qemuDomainDefValidate. The check is made by the same function used to do that at qemuProcessStartValidateXML, qemuValidateCpuCount. This ensures that the user doesn't goes over the board with the maxCpus value when editing the XML, only to be faced with a runtime error when starting it. To do that, the following changes were made: - qemuValidateCpuCount was made public. It was renamed to qemuProcessValidateCpuCount to be compliant with the other public methods at qemu_process.h; - the method signature was slightly adapted to fit the const 'def' variable used in qemuDomainDefValidate. This change has no downside in in its original usage at qemuProcessStartValidateXML. The second QoL change is adding the maxCpus value in the error message of the now qemuProcessValidateCpuCount. This simple change allows the user to quickly edit the XML to comply with the acceptable limit without having to know QEMU internals. x86 guests, that might have been created prior to the x86 qemuDomainDefValidate maxCpus check code, will also benefit from this change. After this patch, this is the expect result running a Power 9 guest with a maxCpus of 40000: $ ./virsh start dhb error: Failed to start domain dhb error: unsupported configuration: Maximum CPUs greater than specified machine type limit 240 And this is the result when trying to edit maxCpus to an invalid value: $ ./virsh edit dhb error: unsupported configuration: Maximum CPUs greater than specified machine type limit 240 Failed.

[libvirt] External disk snapshot paths and the revert operation
by Povilas Kanapickas 02 Nov '18

Hey, It seems that there's an issue of how external disk snapshots currently work. The snapshot definition xml[1] that is supplied to the API has a list of disks each of which specify where the new overlay disks should be placed. This leads to ambiguities when we want to revert the domain to a snapshot with children. Consider the following situation: 0. Initial state: Domain definition: disk at disk-base.qcow2 1. We create a snapshot snap1 placing the overlay at disk-snap1.qcow2 Domain definition: disk at disk-snap1.qcow2 Disks: - disk-base.qcow2 (read-only) - disk-snap1.qcow2 (overlay, base: disk-base.qcow2) Snapshots: - snap1 (snapshot domain disk list: disk-base.qcow2, snapshot disk list: disk-snap1.qcow2) 2. We create another snapshot snap2 placing the overlay at disk-snap2.qcow2 VM definition: disk at disk-snap2.qcow2 Disks: - disk-base.qcow2 (read-only) - disk-snap1.qcow2 (overlay, base: disk-base.qcow2, read-only) - disk-snap2.qcow2 (overlay, base: disk-snap1.qcow2) Snapshots: - snap1 (snapshot domain disk list: disk-base.qcow2, snapshot disk list: disk-snap1.qcow2) - snap2 (snapshot domain disk list: disk-snap1.qcow2, snapshot disk list: disk-snap2.qcow2) Now what happens if we want to revert to snap1? We can't use any of the paths that snap1 itself references: both disk-base.qcow2 and disk-snap1.qcow2 are read-only as part of the backing chain for disks used by snap2. Possible options are these: - we can reuse disk-snap2.qcow2 which we no longer need as it contains overlay on top of snap2. This is non-optimal because now the path of the disk after revert depends on the disk path before it. - we can think of some name with the expectation that the user will change it later anyway. I think that both of the above are non-optimal because we don't actually revert to the exact state we took the snapshot of. The user is effectively no longer in control of the disk path after the revert. One of possible solutions would be add additional flag during the snapshot creation that would change the current behavior. Instead of creating a new disk for the overlay we could move the base disk to the specified path and create the overlay in its place. The advantages of this behavior would be the following: - the path to the current disk used in the domain would not change when taking snapshots. This way we could avoid the problem listed above and easily revert to any snapshot. - the confusion in naming of the overlay disks would be reduced. Currently the path specified when creating snapshot refers to the overlay image. Most of the time user does not know what will be changed in the domain until the next snapshot. So any path he chooses will likely not reflect what will end up in the overlay at the time of the next snapshot. If it was possible to specify the path where the current disk should be put instead, then the user could just name it after the snapshot and it would correctly represent the contents of that disk. The major disadvantage of the approach is that it would introduce extra complexity in the presently simple interface and also the underlying code. I've completely disregarded the case of taking snapshots while the domain is running, so there might be hidden complications there as well. Personally, I don't mind the current situation too much, but if libvirt developers think it's a thing worth fixing I would be willing to work on it. Any opinions?
