[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.

[PATCH 00/16] Farewell rpcgen
by Daniel P. Berrangé 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

This series something I was hacking on a little while back in an attempt to make our RPC layer more maintainable. There are many aspects I'm unhappy about with current code * When serializing a message we have no clue how big it will be, but xdrmem_create wants a fixed size, so we have to keep trying to serialize in a loop making it bigger each time * We don't control memory allocation/free'ing directly so we can't do a virSecureErase on fields inside the RPC message struct that handle secrets. * The XDR API is generally unpleasant to use as it is outside our virNetMessage object. Ideally we would be reading/writing directly from/to the virNetMessage buffer with APIs on virNetMessage,instead of indirectly via a XDR object. * We want more from XDR than it actually gives us. Our XDR protocol files have annotations to express what we want our code generator todo, or for ACLs. The relationship between the structs and the message numbers is implicit. Essentially we've defined our own language indirectly via comments, and then parse this with regexes which is horrid. * The code rpcgen creates is poor quality which we have to post-process to fix bugs/problems. It also lacks support for modern features like g_auto. Anyway, in a fit of rage I looked at the XDR RFC and thought.. This language is trivial, why do we need to outsource to rpcgen and libtirpc instead of dealing with it directly. This small series moves in that direction. It creates an XDR language lexer and parser, and then a code generator which emits code that is (nearly) identical to what rpcgen would emit. This is sufficient to eliminate rpcgen usage and support g_auto. Since we're still using libtirpc at this stage we can be confident we're still doing the same thing on the wire. I've got some unit tests too with the rpcgen generation to validate stuff. The next step is to change the code generator so that instead of generating code for libtirpc APIs, it will instead directly speak virNetMessage APIs. That would give us full control over our RPC stack guaranteed to be platform portable instead of fighting slight differences in RPC libraries (eg xdr_quad vs xdr_int64 madness). I was going to wait until I had written such code before sending this series, but I've got diverted onto other more important tasks. So here at least is what I have so far. After that foundation is done, we are in a place where we can actually do more innovative things. For example we can directly extend the XDR protocol language if we like, turning our magic comments into properly parsable constructs. With this, we would be in a position to replace our Perl RPC client/server dispatch code generators with something that is more supportable in Python. The python code would work with properly represented objects and formal parsers and not regexes and anonymous complex perl data structures. Daniel P.

[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. Thanks and have a nice day ;) Martin Kletzander (18): hw/audio: Remove -soundhw support hw/input/tsc210x: Extract common init code into new function hw/audio: Simplify hda audio init hw/audio/lm4549: Add errp error reporting to init function tests/qtest: Specify audiodev= and -audiodev ui/vnc: Require audiodev= Introduce machine's default-audiodev property audio: Add easy dummy audio initialiser hw/display/xlnx_dp.c: Add audiodev property hw/input/tsc210x.c: Support machine-default audiodev with fallback hw/arm: Support machine-default audiodev with fallback hw/ppc: Support machine-default audiodev with fallback audio: Make AUD_register_card fallible and require audiodev= audio: Require AudioState in AUD_add_capture audio: Be more strict during audio backend initialisation audio: Remove legacy audio environment variables and options audio: Remove unused can_be_default audio/spiceaudio: Fail initialisation when not using spice audio/alsaaudio.c | 1 - audio/audio.c | 204 +++---- audio/audio.h | 5 +- audio/audio_int.h | 1 - audio/audio_legacy.c | 555 ------------------ audio/coreaudio.m | 1 - audio/dbusaudio.c | 1 - audio/dsoundaudio.c | 1 - audio/jackaudio.c | 1 - audio/meson.build | 1 - audio/noaudio.c | 1 - audio/ossaudio.c | 1 - audio/paaudio.c | 1 - audio/sdlaudio.c | 1 - audio/spiceaudio.c | 3 +- audio/wavaudio.c | 1 - docs/about/deprecated.rst | 24 - docs/about/removed-features.rst | 27 + docs/qdev-device-use.txt | 21 +- docs/replay.txt | 2 +- hw/arm/integratorcp.c | 8 +- hw/arm/musicpal.c | 8 +- hw/arm/omap2.c | 11 +- hw/arm/realview.c | 3 + hw/arm/spitz.c | 10 +- hw/arm/versatilepb.c | 3 + hw/arm/vexpress.c | 3 + hw/arm/xlnx-zcu102.c | 4 + hw/arm/z2.c | 12 +- hw/audio/ac97.c | 9 +- hw/audio/adlib.c | 9 +- hw/audio/cs4231a.c | 8 +- hw/audio/es1370.c | 8 +- hw/audio/gus.c | 6 +- hw/audio/hda-codec.c | 37 +- hw/audio/intel-hda.c | 25 +- hw/audio/intel-hda.h | 2 +- hw/audio/lm4549.c | 7 +- hw/audio/lm4549.h | 3 +- hw/audio/meson.build | 1 - hw/audio/pcspk.c | 15 +- hw/audio/pl041.c | 2 +- hw/audio/sb16.c | 9 +- hw/audio/soundhw.c | 177 ------ hw/audio/wm8750.c | 5 +- hw/core/machine.c | 23 + hw/display/xlnx_dp.c | 12 +- hw/input/tsc210x.c | 79 ++- hw/ppc/prep.c | 4 + hw/usb/dev-audio.c | 5 +- include/hw/audio/soundhw.h | 15 - include/hw/boards.h | 1 + qemu-options.hx | 37 -- .../codeconverter/test_regexps.py | 1 - softmmu/qdev-monitor.c | 2 - softmmu/vl.c | 10 - tests/qtest/ac97-test.c | 3 +- tests/qtest/es1370-test.c | 3 +- tests/qtest/fuzz/generic_fuzz_configs.h | 6 +- tests/qtest/intel-hda-test.c | 15 +- ui/vnc.c | 15 +- 61 files changed, 329 insertions(+), 1140 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 audio/audio_legacy.c delete mode 100644 hw/audio/soundhw.c delete mode 100644 include/hw/audio/soundhw.h -- 2.35.1

[libvirt PATCH 00/20] ci: Move GitLab build recipes to a standalone script
by Erik Skultety 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

This is a follow up to: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-January/237201.html The effort here is to unify the way builds/tests are executed in GitLab CI vs local container executions and make another step forward in terms of reproducibility of (specifically) GitLab environments. Even though code to run all but one (coverity) jobs from GitLab via the build.sh script is added with this series, local behavior remains the same as before this series. The reason for that is that that will require more patches ridding of the Makefile which is currently used and instead integrate usage of lcitool with the ci/helper Python script which is currently the entry point for local container executions. Pipeline: https://gitlab.com/eskultety/libvirt/-/pipelines/768645158 Ubuntu is having some repo connection issues today, so the one failed ^job can be ignored Erik Skultety (20): gitlab-ci.yml: Replace all explicit calls to ninja with meson commands gitlab-ci.yml: potfile: Consolidate the meson compile calls gitlab-ci.yml: Use $HOME for rpmbuild's topdir instead of PWD ci: build.sh: Drop the commentary about CI_BUILD_SCRIPT ci: build.sh: Use 'meson setup' explicitly ci: build.sh: Always assume -Dsystem=true ci: build.sh: Drop the CI prefix from the CI_{MESON,NINJA}_ARGS vars ci: build.sh: Move off of ninja command to directly calling meson ci: build.sh: Join MESON_ARGS and MESON_OPTS ci: build.sh: Break the script functionality into helper functions ci: build.sh: Move the necessary env variables to build.sh ci: build.sh: Add support for individual GitLab jobs ci: build.sh: Wire up the individual job functions to the CLI ci: build.sh: Document CI_CONT_SRCDIR ci: build.sh: Make the build script fail ASAP with 'set -e' ci: build.sh: Update git index in local container environments on 'dist' ci: build.sh: Make the script executable gitlab-ci.yml: Add 'after_script' stage to prep for artifact collection gitlab-ci.yml: Adopt job execution via a Bash script gitlab-ci.yml: Drop the usage of script variables reference .gitlab-ci.yml | 56 ++++++++++------------- ci/Makefile | 16 ++++--- ci/build.sh | 121 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ ci/helper | 21 ++++++--- 4 files changed, 155 insertions(+), 59 deletions(-) mode change 100644 => 100755 ci/build.sh -- 2.39.1
