RFC: qemu: use uuid instead of name for misc filenames
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Hi, everyone. I'm working on supporting domain renaming when it has snapshots which is not supported now. And it strikes me things will be much simplier to manage on renaming if we use uuid in filenames instead of domain names. 1. Renaming will only involve saving updated config. The saving is atomic thanx to tmp file and rename(2) approach. In constast current renaming on error paths can leave config with old or new name. Thus on libvirt restart extra VM will appear. And we don't need to rename autostart links, snapshot directories etc. 2. Renaming will be possible for running domains with no efforts. We only need to pass uuid instead of name in '-name guest=...' command line. 3. Mgmt can stop using autogenerated names for domains. I guess openstack for example uses names like instance-000002ff because we have many limitations on domain renaming. And if these limitations are removed then openstack can just use user supplied names for domains. 4. No issues with long domain names and filename length limit If the above conversion makes sense I guess the good time to apply it is on domain start (and rename to support renaming with snapshots). I guess we can also have tool (some virsh command) for developers to generate symlinks so one can access logs, configs etc by name instead of uuid. Nikolay

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] qemu: support -overcommit cpu-pm=on|off
by Menno Lageman 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

QEMU introduced a CPU power management feature with commit 6f131f13e68d ("kvm: support -overcommit cpu-pm=on|off"). With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state. This increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the running VCPU, so to use it QEMU needs a hint about whether host CPU is overcommitted, hence the flag name. This patch series adds a new kvm feature 'cpu-pm' for controlling "-overcommit cpu-pm=[on|off]" <features> <kvm> <cpu-pm state='on'/> </kvm> </features> Menno Lageman (2): qemu: introduce qemuBuildOvercommitCommandLine() tests: add tests for cpu-pm feature Wim ten Have (1): qemu: add hypervisor feature cpu-pm support for kvm docs/formatdomain.html.in | 7 ++++ docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 5 +++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 4 ++ src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 39 +++++++++++++++++-- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 25 ++++++++---- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/kvm-features-off.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/kvm-features-off.xml | 1 + tests/qemuxml2argvdata/kvm-features.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/kvm-features.xml | 1 + tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 4 +- tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/kvm-features-off.xml | 1 + tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/kvm-features.xml | 1 + 14 files changed, 79 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 2.21.0

[libvirt] [PATCH v4 0/2] introduction of migration_version attribute for VFIO live migration
by Yan Zhao 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

This patchset introduces a migration_version attribute under sysfs of VFIO Mediated devices. This migration_version attribute is used to check migration compatibility between two mdev devices of the same mdev type. Patch 1 defines migration_version attribute in Documentation/vfio-mediated-device.txt Patch 2 uses GVT as an example to show how to expose migration_version attribute and check migration compatibility in vendor driver. v4: 1. fixed indentation/spell errors, reworded several error messages 2. added a missing memory free for error handling in patch 2 v3: 1. renamed version to migration_version 2. let errno to be freely defined by vendor driver 3. let checking mdev_type be prerequisite of migration compatibility check 4. reworded most part of patch 1 5. print detailed error log in patch 2 and generate migration_version string at init time v2: 1. renamed patched 1 2. made definition of device version string completely private to vendor driver 3. reverted changes to sample mdev drivers 4. described intent and usage of version attribute more clearly.

[PATCH] util: virhostcpu: Fail when fetching CPU Stats for invalid cpu
by Mauro S. M. Rodrigues 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

virHostCPUGetStatsLinux walks through every cpu in /proc/stat until it finds cpu%cpuNum that matches with the requested cpu. If none is found it logs the error but it should return -1, instead of 0. Otherwise virsh nodecpustats --cpu <invalid cpu number> and API bindings don't fail properly, printing a blank line instead of an error message. This patch also includes an additional test for virhostcputest to avoid this regression to happen again in the future. Reported-by: Satheesh Rajendran <satheera(a)in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro S.

[libvirt PATCH v2 0/9] Second take on slirp-helper & dbus-vmstate
by marcandre.lureau＠redhat.com 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '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 v2: - merge most suggestions/changes from Michal Privoznik review of v1. - added "WIP: qemu_slirp: update to follow current spec" Marc-André Lureau (9): 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 WIP: qemu-slirp: update to follow current spec m4/virt-driver-qemu.m4 | 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 | 81 +++------ src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 6 +- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 7 + src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_dbus.c | 264 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/qemu/qemu_dbus.h | 25 ++- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 30 ++-- src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 8 +- 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 | 157 +++-------------- src/qemu/qemu_slirp.h | 4 +- src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 1 + 25 files changed, 544 insertions(+), 364 deletions(-) -- 2.25.0.rc2.1.g09a9a1a997

[libvirt] [PATCH] virt-host-validate: warn if kvm_hv is not loaded for POWER hosts
by Daniel Henrique Barboza 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

POWER hosts does not implement CPU virtualization extensions like x86 or s390x. Instead, all bare-metal POWER hosts are considered to be virtualization ready. For POWER, the validation is done by checking the virtualization kernel modules, kvm_hv and kvm_pr, to see if they are either not installed or not loaded in the host. If the KVM modules aren't present, we should not just warn but fail to validate. This patch implements this support. If kvm_hv is not installed, which can be determined by 'modinfo' returning not-zero return code, fail the verification. If kvm_hv is installed but not loaded, show a warning. The exception are POWER8 hosts, which can work with kvm_pr. In its case, ACK the use of kvm_pr if kvm_hv is not loaded/present.

[PATCH] conf: Don't generate machine names with a dot
by Michal Privoznik 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

According to the linked BZ, machined expects either valid hostname or valid FQDN. While in case of multiple dots, a trailing one doesn't violate FQDN, it does violate the rule in case of something simple, like "domain.". But it's safe to remove it in both cases.

[PATCH 0/8] qemu: Show willingness to use blockdev-reopen
by Peter Krempa 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

To break the chicken and egg problem loop between qemu and libvirt in using new features introduce experimental support for blockdev-reopen (or actually x-blockdev-reopen for the time being). This patchset adds QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKDEV_REOPEN capability which is currently not asserted until qemu stabilizes the blockdev-reopen interface but implements all the handlers to use it. This is a similar approach we used to add all of the bits required to use -blockdev with qemu. To show it's usefullnes two real problems are addressed using reopening: - Checkpoint deletion in backing chain, where we need to reopen the read-only backing images to allow modification of bitmaps. Using this approach will prevent qemu from having to introduce yet another ad-hoc interface to deal with the bitmaps. (note that checkpoints are also experimental themselves since they are part of the not-yet-finished incremental backup feature) - Late open of backing files for virDomainBlockCopy oVirt abuses a quirk in the old handling of block-copy when drive-mirror is used as qemu opens the backing images of the destination of the copy only once block-job-complete is called. Without blockdev-reopen it's impossible to replicate the old semantics as we need to install a backing file for the mirror copy and that is possible only using blockdev-reopen. (this change will stay disabled until blockdev-reopen is stabilized) There are a few other problems which this will deal with mostly related to bitmap handling which would also require ad-hoc qemu functionality otherwise. Since we have an existing interface we can show we are willing to use it to prevent wasting more engieering on qemu's side on partial solutions.
