[libvirt] [PATCH-for-4.2] hw/mips: Deprecate the r4k machine
by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

The r4k machine was introduced in 2005 (6af0bf9c7) and its last logical change was in 2005 (9542611a6). After we can count 164 maintenance commits (QEMU API changes) with the exception of 1 fix in 2015 (memory leak, commit 3ad9fd5a). This machine was introduced as a proof of concept to run a MIPS CPU. 2 years later, the Malta machine was add (commit 5856de80) modeling a real platform. Note also this machine has no specification except 5 lines in the header of this file: * emulates a simple machine with ISA-like bus. * ISA IO space mapped to the 0x14000000 (PHYS) and * ISA memory at the 0x10000000 (PHYS, 16Mb in size). * All peripherial devices are attached to this "bus" with * the standard PC ISA addresses. It is time to deprecate this obsolete machine. Users are recommended to use the Malta board, which hardware is well documented.

[PATCH] disk storage: fix allocation size for pool format dos
by Sebastian Mitterle 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

The changed condition was always false because the function was always called with boundary values 0. Use the free extent's start value to get its start offset from the cylinder boundary and determine if the needed size for allocation needs to be expanded too in case the offset doesn't fit within extra bytes for alignment. This fixes an issue where vol-create-from will call qemu-img convert to create a destination volume of same capacity as the source volume and qemu-img will error 'Cannot grow device files' due to the partition being too small for the source although both destination partition and source volume have the same capacity.

[PATCH] doc: add some examples for IPv6 NAT configuration
by Ian Wienand 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Add some expanded examples for the nat ipv6 introduced with 927acaedec7effbe67a154d8bfa0e67f7d08e6c7. Unfortunately while for IPv4 it's well-known what addresses ranges are useful for NAT, with IPv6 unless you enjoy digging through RFC's going back-and-forth over unique local addresses and the meaning of the word "site" it's generally much less obvious. I've tried to add some details on choosing a range inline with RFC 4193 and then some pointers for when it maybe doesn't work in the guest as you first expect despite you doing what the RFC's say!

[PATCH v2 00/13] resolve hangs/crashes on libvirtd shutdown
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

I keep qemu VM event loop exiting synchronously but add code to avoid deadlock that can be caused by this approach. I guess it is worth having synchronous exiting of threads in this case to avoid crashes. Patches that are already positively reviewed has appropriate 'Reviewed-by' lines. Changes from v1: - rename stateShutdown to state stateShutdownPrepare - introduce net daemon shutdown callbacks - make some adjustments in terms of qemu per VM's event loop thread finishing - factor out net server shutdown facilities into distinct patch - increase shutdown timeout from 15s to 30s Nikolay Shirokovskiy (13): libvirt: add stateShutdownPrepare/stateShutdownWait to drivers util: always initialize priority condition util: add stop/drain functions to thread pool rpc: don't unref service ref on socket behalf twice rpc: add virNetDaemonSetShutdownCallbacks rpc: add shutdown facilities to netserver rpc: finish all threads before exiting main loop qemu: don't shutdown event thread in monitor EOF callback vireventthread: exit thread synchronously on finalize qemu: avoid deadlock in qemuDomainObjStopWorker qemu: implement driver's shutdown/shutdown wait methods rpc: cleanup virNetDaemonClose method util: remove unused virThreadPoolNew macro scripts/check-drivername.py | 2 + src/driver-state.h | 8 ++++ src/libvirt.c | 42 ++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_internal.h | 2 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 4 ++ src/libvirt_remote.syms | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 18 +++++-- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 32 +++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 3 -- src/remote/remote_daemon.c | 6 +-- src/rpc/virnetdaemon.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/rpc/virnetdaemon.h | 8 +++- src/rpc/virnetserver.c | 8 ++++ src/rpc/virnetserver.h | 1 + src/rpc/virnetserverservice.c | 1 - src/util/vireventthread.c | 1 + src/util/virthreadpool.c | 65 +++++++++++++++++-------- src/util/virthreadpool.h | 6 +-- 18 files changed, 267 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1

[PATCH v1 00/34] Rework building of domain's namespaces
by Michal Privoznik 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

There are couple of things happening in this series. The first patch fixes a bug. We are leaking /dev/mapper/control in QEMU. See the patch for detailed info. The second patch then cleans up code a bit. The third patch moves namespace handling code into a separate file. Patches 4 - 15 then prepare the code for switch to different approach in populating the namespace. Patches 16 - 26 then do the switch and finally, the rest of the patches drops and deduplicates some code.

[PATCH v2] qemu: Do not silently allow non-available timers on non-x86 systems
by Thomas Huth 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

libvirt currently silently allows <timer name="kvmclock"/> and some other timer tags in the guest XML definition for timers that do not exist on non-x86 systems. We should not silently ignore these tags since the users might not get what they expected otherwise. Note: The error is only generated if the timer is marked with present="yes" - otherwise we would suddenly refuse XML definitions that worked without problems before.

[PATCH] qemu_driver.c: Fix domfsinfo for non-PCI device information from guest agent
by Thomas Huth 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

qemuAgentFSInfoToPublic() currently only sets the devAlias for PCI devices. However, the QEMU guest agent could also provide the device name in the "dev" field of the response for other devices instead (well, at least after fixing another problem in the current QEMU guest agent...). So if creating the devAlias from the PCI information failed, let's fall back to the name provided by the guest agent. This helps to fix the empty "Target" fields that occur when running "virsh domfsinfo" on s390x where CCW devices are used for the guest instead of PCI devices. Also add a proper debug message here in case we completely failed to set the device alias, since this problem here was very hard to debug: The only two error messages that I've seen were "Unable to get filesystem information" and "Unable to encode message payload" - which only indicates that something went wrong in the RPC call. No debug message indicated the real problem, so I had to learn the hard way why the RPC call failed (it apparently does not like devAlias left to be NULL) and where the real problem comes from.
