[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8] Second take on slirp-helper & dbus-vmstate
by marcandre.lureau＠redhat.com 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau(a)redhat.com> Hi, The series "[libvirt] [PATCH v2 00/23] Use a slirp helper process" has been merged and partially reverted. Meanwhile, qemu dbus-vmstate design has been changed and merged upstream. This new series fixes the slirp-helper support. The significant change is that dbus-vmstate now requires a bus (instead of the earlier peer-to-peer connection). The current series doesn't attempt to enforce strict policies on the bus. As long as you can connect to the bus, you can send/receive from/to anyone. A follow-up series should implement the recommendations from https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interop/dbus.html#security. The libslirp-rs slirp-helper hasn't yet received an official release. For testing, you may: $ cargo install --features=all --git https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp-rs The resulting binary should be ~/.cargo/bin/slirp-helper, so qemu.conf slirp_helper location should be adjusted. With that in place, a VM with user networking (slirp) should now start with the helper process. thanks Marc-André Lureau (8): qemu: remove dbus-vmstate code qemu-conf: add configurable dbus-daemon location qemu-conf: add dbusStateDir qemu: add a DBus daemon helper unit domain: save/restore the state of dbus-daemon running qemu: prepare and stop the dbus daemon qemu: add dbus-vmstate helper migration support qemu-slirp: register helper for migration m4/virt-driver-qemu.m4 | 6 + src/qemu/Makefile.inc.am | 6 +- src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug | 1 + src/qemu/qemu.conf | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_alias.c | 17 +- src/qemu/qemu_alias.h | 3 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 65 +++---- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 6 +- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 9 + src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c | 283 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/qemu/qemu_dbus.h | 30 +-- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 30 +-- src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 9 +- src/qemu/qemu_extdevice.c | 4 +- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 165 +++++++++-------- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.h | 17 +- src/qemu/qemu_migration.c | 57 +++++- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 21 +++ src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c | 15 ++ src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h | 5 + src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 6 + src/qemu/qemu_slirp.c | 126 ++----------- src/qemu/qemu_slirp.h | 4 +- src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 1 + tests/Makefile.am | 1 + 27 files changed, 564 insertions(+), 331 deletions(-) -- 2.25.0.rc2.1.g09a9a1a997

[PATCH v4 0/5] lxc: Add VCPU features for LXC
by Julio Faracco 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

This series cover a lots of functionalities to LXC VCPUs. It enables sharing some timer devices between host and LXC guest using `timer` settings. It still has other improvements related to VCPU and LXC such as virtual cpuinfo content based on VCPU settings and some better resource limits. Each patch has the description of the problem and what it is trying to fix. v1-v2: Add Daniel's comments and some cleanups. v2-v3: Remove dependency from patch 4 and 5. v3-v4: Missing cpuinfo file from Fuse Getattr handler.

[libvirt PATCH] daemon: set default memlock limit for systemd service
by Pavel Hrdina 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

The default memlock limit is 64k which is not enough to start a single VM. The requirements for one VM are 12k, 8k for eBPF map and 4k for eBPF program, however, it fails to create eBPF map and program with 64k limit. By testing I figured out that the minimal limit is 80k to start a single VM with functional eBPF and if I add 12k I can start another one. This leads into following calculation: 80k as memlock limit worked to start a VM with eBPF which means there is 68k of lock memory that I was not able to figure out what was using it. So to get a number for 4096 VMs: 68 + 12 * 4096 = 49220 If we round it up we will get 49M of memory lock limit to support 4096 VMs with default map size which can hold 64 entries for devices. This should be good enough as a sane default and users can change it if the need to.
