[PATCH v3 0/5] Introduce network backed NVRAM
by Rohit Kumar
Libvirt domain XML currently allows only local filepaths
that can be used to specify a NVRAM disk. It should be
possible to support NVRAM disks on network storage as
it would give flexibility to start the VM on any host
without having to worry about where to get the latest
nvram image.
This series extends the NVRAM element to support hosting over
network-backed disks.
It achieves this by embedding virStorageSource pointer for
nvram into _virDomainLoaderDef.
It introduces a 'type' attribute for NVRAM element to
specify 'file' vs 'network' backed NVRAM.
XML with new annotation:
<nvram type='network'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-nopool/0'>
<host name='example.com' port='6000'/>
<auth username='myname'>
<secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>
</auth>
</host>
</source>
</nvram>
or
<nvram type='network'>
<source protocol='nbd' name='bar'>
<host name='example.org' port='6000'/>
</source>
</nvram>
or
<nvram type='file'>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/nvram/guest_VARS.fd'/>
</nvram>
Changes v1->v2:
- Split the patch into smaller patches
- Added unit test
- Updated the doc
- Addressed Peter's comment on v1 (https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-March/229684.html)
Changes v2->v3:
- Added authentication with 'iscsi' protocol unit test
- Updated the validation logic
- Addressed Peter's other comments on v2 patch(https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-April/229971.h...
Rohit Kumar (5):
Make NVRAM a virStorageSource type.
Add support to parse/format/validate virStorageSource type NVRAM
Update schema, docs, and validation logic to support network backed
NVRAM
Add unit tests for network backed NVRAM
Add unit test to support new 'file' type NVRAM

[libvirt PATCH] Fix incorrect uses of g_clear_pointer() introduced in 8.1.0
by Mark Mielke
This is a partial revert of 87a43a907f0ad4897a28ad7c216bc70f37270b93.
The change to use g_clear_pointer() in more places was accidentally
applied to cases involving vir_g_source_unref().
In some cases, the ordering of g_source_destroy() and
vir_g_source_unref() was reversed, which resulted in the source being
marked as destroyed, after it is already unreferenced. This
use-after-free case might work in many cases, but with versions of
glibc older than 2.64.0 it may defer unref to run within the main
thread to avoid a race condition, which creates a large distance
between the g_source_unref() and g_source_destroy().
In some cases, the call to vir_g_source_unref() was replaced with a
second call to g_source_destroy(), leading to a memory leak or worse.
In our experience, the symptoms were that use of libvirt-python became
slower over time, with OpenStack nova-compute initially taking around
one second to periodically query the host PCI devices, and within an
hour it was taking over a minute to complete the same operation, until
it is was eventually running this query back-to-back, resulting in the
nova-compute process consuming 100% of one CPU thread, losing its
RabbitMQ connection frequently, and showing up as down to the control
plane.

Except not really. Only the first one is strictly related to that type
