[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.

[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

[libvirt RFCv11 00/33] multifd save restore prototype
by Claudio Fontana 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

This is v11 of the multifd save prototype, which focuses on saving to a single file instead of requiring multiple separate files for multifd channels. This series demonstrates a way to save and restore from a single file by using interleaved channels of a size equal to the transfer buffer size (1MB), and relying on UNIX holes to avoid wasting physical disk space due to channels of different size. KNOWN ISSUES: a) still applies only to save/restore (no managed save etc) b) this is not not done in QEMU, where it could be possible to teach QEMU to migrate directly to a file or block device in a block-aligned way by altering the migration stream code and the state migration code of all devices. changes from v10: * virfile: add new API virFileDiskCopyChannel, which extends the existing virFileDiskCopy to work with parallel channels in the file. * drop use of virthread API, use GLIB for threads. * pass only a single FD to the multifd-helper, which will then open additional FDs as required for the multithreaded I/O. * simplify virQEMUSaveFd API, separating the initialization from the addition of extra channels. * adapt all documentation to mention a single file instead of multiple. * remove the "Lim" versions of virFileDirectRead and Write, they are not needed. --- changes from v9: * exposed virFileDirectAlign * separated the >= 2 QEMU_SAVE_VERSION change in own patch * reworked the write code to add the alignment padding to the data_len, making the on disk format compatible when loaded from an older libvirt. * reworked the read code to use direct I/O APIs only for actual direct I/O file descriptors, so as to make old images work with newer libvirt. --- changes from v8: * rebased on master * reordered patches to add more upstreamable content at the start * split introduction of virQEMUSaveFd, so the first part is multifd-free * new virQEMUSaveDataRead as a mirror of virQEMUSaveDataWrite * introduced virFileDirect API, using it in virFileDisk operations and for virQEMUSaveRead and virQEMUSaveWrite --- changes from v7: * [ base params API and iohelper refactoring upstreamed ] * extended the QEMU save image format more, to record the nr of multifd channels on save. Made the data header struct packed. * removed --parallel-connections from the restore command, as now it is useless due to QEMU save image format extension. * separate out patches to expose migration_params APIs to saveimage, including qemuMigrationParamsSetString, SetCap, SetInt. * fixed bugs in the ImageOpen patch (missing saveFd init), removed some whitespace, and fixed some convoluted code paths for return value -3. --- changes from v6: * improved error path handling, with error messages and especially cancellation of qemu process on error during restore. * split patches more and reordered them to keep general refactoring at the beginning before the --parallel stuff is introduced. * improved multifd compression support, including adding an enum and extending the QEMU save image format to record the compression used on save, and pick it up automatically on restore. --- changes from v4: * runIO renamed to virFileDiskCopy and rethought arguments * renamed new APIs from ...ParametersFlags to ...Params * introduce the new virDomainSaveParams and virDomainRestoreParams without any additional parameters, so they can be upstreamed first. * solved the issue in the gendispatch.pl script generating code that was missing the conn parameter. --- changes from v3: * reordered series to have all helper-related change at the start * solved all reported issues from ninja test, including documentation * fixed most broken migration capabilities code (still imperfect likely) * added G_GNUC_UNUSED as needed * after multifd restore, added what I think were the missing operations: qemuProcessRefreshState(), qemuProcessStartCPUs() - most importantly, virDomainObjSave() The domain now starts running after restore without further encouragement * removed the sleep(10) from the multifd-helper --- changes from v2: * added ability to restore the VM from disk using multifd * fixed the multifd-helper to work in both directions, assuming the need to listen for save, and connect for restore. * fixed a large number of bugs, and probably introduced some :-) --- Claudio Fontana (33): virfile: introduce virFileDirect APIs virfile: use virFileDirect API in runIOCopy qemu: saveimage: rework image read/write to be O_DIRECT friendly qemu: saveimage: assume future formats will also support compression virfile: virFileDiskCopy: prepare for O_DIRECT files without wrapper qemu: saveimage: introduce virQEMUSaveFd qemu: saveimage: convert qemuSaveImageCreate to use virQEMUSaveFd qemu: saveimage: convert qemuSaveImageOpen to use virQEMUSaveFd tools: prepare doSave to use parameters tools: prepare cmdRestore to use parameters libvirt: add new VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARALLEL flag and parameter qemu: add stub support for VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARALLEL in save qemu: add stub support for VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARALLEL in restore virfile: add new API virFileDiskCopyChannel multifd-helper: new helper for parallel save/restore qemu: saveimage: update virQEMUSaveFd struct for parallel save qemu: saveimage: wire up saveimage code with the multifd helper qemu: capabilities: add multifd to the probed migration capabilities qemu: saveimage: add multifd related fields to save format qemu: migration_params: add APIs to set Int and Cap qemu: migration: implement qemuMigrationSrcToFilesMultiFd for save qemu: add parameter to qemuMigrationDstRun to skip waiting qemu: implement qemuSaveImageLoadMultiFd for restore tools: add parallel parameter to virsh save command tools: add parallel parameter to virsh restore command qemu: add migration parameter multifd-compression libvirt: add new VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARAM_PARALLEL_COMPRESSION qemu: saveimage: add parallel compression argument to ImageCreate qemu: saveimage: add stub support for multifd compression parameter qemu: migration: expose qemuMigrationParamsSetString qemu: saveimage: implement multifd-compression in parallel save qemu: saveimage: restore compressed parallel images tools: add parallel-compression parameter to virsh save command docs/manpages/virsh.rst | 26 +- include/libvirt/libvirt-domain.h | 24 + po/POTFILES | 1 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 6 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 146 ++-- src/qemu/qemu_migration.c | 160 ++-- src/qemu/qemu_migration.h | 16 +- src/qemu/qemu_migration_params.c | 71 +- src/qemu/qemu_migration_params.h | 15 + src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 3 +- src/qemu/qemu_process.h | 5 +- src/qemu/qemu_saveimage.c | 703 +++++++++++++----- src/qemu/qemu_saveimage.h | 69 +- src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c | 6 +- src/util/iohelper.c | 3 + src/util/meson.build | 16 + src/util/multifd-helper.c | 359 +++++++++ src/util/virfile.c | 391 +++++++--- src/util/virfile.h | 11 + .../caps_4.0.0.aarch64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.0.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.riscv32.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.riscv64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.0.0.s390x.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.1.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.2.0.aarch64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.2.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.2.0.s390x.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.2.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_5.0.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.0.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.0.0.riscv64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.0.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.1.0.sparc.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.1.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.2.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.2.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.2.0.riscv64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.2.0.s390x.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.2.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.0.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_6.0.0.s390x.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.0.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.1.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.2.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_6.2.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.2.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_7.0.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_7.0.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_7.0.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_7.1.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + tools/virsh-domain.c | 101 ++- 55 files changed, 1748 insertions(+), 445 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/util/multifd-helper.c -- 2.26.2

[PATCH 00/18] RFC: Remove deprecated audio features
by Martin Kletzander 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

I wanted to deal with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2043498 and I got a suggesstion that removing deprecated features could actually make it easier to propagate the error. In the end (last patch) it turns out the error is still just reported with error_fatal, so it probably is not really needed, but I really wanted to dig into QEMU more and learn some of the internals for quite some time now. So I used the opportunity. The one-liner ended up being an 18 patch series which was, for someone who has just one commit in QEMU codebase, a pretty challenging task. Although I tried my best to do things properly, I am not sure whether I handled everything correctly, hence the RFC. Any comments are very much appreciated.

[PATCH v2] util: basic support for VFIO variant drivers
by Laine Stump 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

Before a PCI device can be assigned to a guest with VFIO, that device must be bound to the vfio-pci driver rather than to the device's normal driver. The vfio-pci driver provides APIs that permit QEMU to perform all the necessary operations to make the device accessible to the guest. There has been kernel work recently to support vendor/device-specific VFIO variant drivers that provide the basic vfio-pci driver functionality while adding support for device-specific operations (for example these device-specific drivers are planned to support live migration of certain devices). All that will be needed to make this functionality available will be to bind the new vendor-specific driver to the device (rather than the generic vfio-pci driver, which will continue to work just without the extra functionality). But until now libvirt has required that all PCI devices being assigned to a guest with VFIO specifically have the "vfio-pci" driver bound to the device. So even if the user manually binds a shiny new vendor-specific vfio variant driver to the device (and puts "managed='no'" in the config to prevent libvirt from changing the binding), libvirt will just fail during startup of the guest (or during hotplug) because the driver bound to the device isn't exactly "vfio-pci". This patch loosens that restriction a bit - rather than requiring that the device be bound to "vfio-pci", it also checks if the drivername contains the string "vfio" at all, and in this case allows the operation to continue. If the driver is in fact a VFIO variant, then the assignment will succeed, but if it is not a VFIO variant then QEMU will fail (and report the error back to libvirt). In the near future (possibly by kernel 6.0) there will be a formal method of identifying a VFIO variant driver by looking in sysfs; in the meantime the inexact, but simple, method in this patch will allow users of the few existing VFIO variant drivers (and developers of new VFIO variant drivers) to use their new drivers without needing to remove libvirt from their setup - they can simply pre-bind the device to the new driver, then use "managed='no'" in their libvirt config. NB: this patch does *not* handle automatically determining the proper vendor-specific driver and binding to it in the case of "managed='yes'". This will be implemented later when there is a widely available driver / device combo we can use for testing. Signed-off-by: Laine Stump <laine(a)redhat.com> --- V1 here: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-August/233327.html Change in V2: V1 used the output of modinfo to look for "vfio_pci" as an alias for a driver to see if it was a VFIO variant driver. As a result of discussion of V1, V2 is much simpler - it just assumes that any driver with "vfio" in the name is a VFIO variant. This is okay because 1) QEMU will still catch it and libvirt will properly log the error if the driver isn't actually a VFIO variant, and 2) it's a temporary situation, just to enable use of VFIO variant drivers with libvirt until a standard method of detecting this is added to sysfs (which, according to the discussion of V1, is coming in the near future). (NB: I did implement checking of /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias as suggested by Erik, but it turned out that this caused the unit tests to call uname(3) and open the modules.alias file on the test host - for a proper unit test I would have also needed to mock these two functions, and it seemed like too much complexity for a temporary workaround. I've implemented Jason's suggestion here (accept any driver with "vfio" in the name), which is similar to danpb's suggestion (accept specifically the two drivers that are already in the upstream kernel), but will also allow for new drivers that may be under development.) src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c | 26 ++++--------- src/util/virpci.c | 76 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/util/virpci.h | 3 ++ 3 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c b/src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c index c0ce867596..15b35fa75e 100644 --- a/src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c +++ b/src/hypervisor/virhostdev.c @@ -747,9 +747,8 @@ virHostdevPreparePCIDevicesImpl(virHostdevManager *mgr, mgr->inactivePCIHostdevs) < 0) goto reattachdevs; } else { - g_autofree char *driverPath = NULL; - g_autofree char *driverName = NULL; - int stub; + g_autofree char *drvName = NULL; + virPCIStubDriver drvType; /* Unmanaged devices should already have been marked as * inactive: if that's the case, we can simply move on */ @@ -769,18 +768,14 @@ virHostdevPreparePCIDevicesImpl(virHostdevManager *mgr, * information about active / inactive device across * daemon restarts has been implemented */ - if (virPCIDeviceGetDriverPathAndName(pci, - &driverPath, &driverName) < 0) + if (virPCIDeviceGetDriverNameAndType(pci, &drvName, &drvType) < 0) goto reattachdevs; - stub = virPCIStubDriverTypeFromString(driverName); - - if (stub > VIR_PCI_STUB_DRIVER_NONE && - stub < VIR_PCI_STUB_DRIVER_LAST) { + if (drvType > VIR_PCI_STUB_DRIVER_NONE) { /* The device is bound to a known stub driver: store this * information and add a copy to the inactive list */ - virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver(pci, stub); + virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver(pci, drvType); VIR_DEBUG("Adding PCI device %s to inactive list", virPCIDeviceGetName(pci)); @@ -2292,18 +2287,13 @@ virHostdevPrepareOneNVMeDevice(virHostdevManager *hostdev_mgr, /* Let's check if all PCI devices are NVMe disks. */ for (i = 0; i < virPCIDeviceListCount(pciDevices); i++) { virPCIDevice *pci = virPCIDeviceListGet(pciDevices, i); - g_autofree char *drvPath = NULL; g_autofree char *drvName = NULL; - int stub = VIR_PCI_STUB_DRIVER_NONE; + virPCIStubDriver drvType; - if (virPCIDeviceGetDriverPathAndName(pci, &drvPath, &drvName) < 0) + if (virPCIDeviceGetDriverNameAndType(pci, &drvName, &drvType) < 0) goto cleanup; - if (drvName) - stub = virPCIStubDriverTypeFromString(drvName); - - if (stub == VIR_PCI_STUB_DRIVER_VFIO || - STREQ_NULLABLE(drvName, "nvme")) + if (drvType == VIR_PCI_STUB_DRIVER_VFIO || STREQ_NULLABLE(drvName, "nvme")) continue; VIR_WARN("Suspicious NVMe disk assignment.
