[Libvir] [PATCH] Miscellaneous cleanups for virNodeGetFreeMemory and virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory
by Richard W.M. Jones 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

(1) Add documentation to the hvsupport page for virNodeGetFreeMemory (2) Fix documentation on the hvsupport page to show that the two new functions aren't supported in the QEMU, KVM or remote cases yet. (3) Add DEBUG() calls to both new functions. (4) xen_internal.c functions may now support a connection argument to virXenError / virXenErrorFunc. I have modified this file so that where the connection is known, it is passed. Because of the way virterror works, errors should always be attached to a connection if at all possible, otherwise there is no sane way to turn non-connection errors into exceptions in language bindings, and also error handling in threaded code won't work.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Make "make distcheck" work.
by Jim Meyering 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Here's another infrastructure-fixing patch. I got most of the way to an honest "make distcheck", but fixing a final failing sub-test wasn't worth the effort, so I punted and added the top level "distuninstallcheck" target to make it skip that part. Make "make distcheck" work. * Makefile.am: Expand some "*" wildcards, and (for now) disable the relatively unimportant, distuninstallcheck target. Fix a few redirect-directly-to-target bugs. Add a few $(srcdir)/ prefixes and add an uninstall-local rule. * docs/Makefile.am: More of the same. Split some long lines. * docs/examples/Makefile.am: Likewise. * python/Makefile.am: Likewise. * python/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise. * qemud/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am: Remove the directories already listed in SUBDIRS. --- Makefile.am | 3 + docs/Makefile.am | 95 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- docs/examples/Makefile.am | 13 ++++-- python/Makefile.am | 6 ++- python/tests/Makefile.am | 2 + qemud/Makefile.am | 26 ++++++++---- tests/Makefile.am | 8 +--- 7 files changed, 120 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index e1e6884..eaa204e 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -41,3 +41,6 @@ cov-am: > $(top_builddir)/coverage/index.html for i in $(top_builddir)/src/*.gcov ;

[Libvir] The problem of the definition of tuning informations
by Daniel Veillard 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

I promised that mail for the beginning of the week but I still have a very hard time to try to formulate a good plan of action, I'm still stuck in a dilemna, see below. What is it? ----------- I think tuning informations are that set of parameters associated to a domain or a host, which are not stricly needed to get the domain(s) working but improve their runtime behaviour. To me this includes: - scheduling parameters the scope may be host/hypervisor/domain - vcpu affinity i.e. to which set of physical CPU each of the vcpu may be bound - and possibly others ... The problem: ------------ People would like to associate those to the XML domain informations, the goal being to be able to restore those informations when a domain (re-)starts. I have been objecting it so far because, I think those informations don't have the same lifetime and scope as the other domain informations saved in the XML. Since they are not needed to start the domain, and that once the domain is started the existing domain API can be used to change those informations, it is better to keep them separate. However I got objections from David Lutterkort [1], Jim Fehlig [2], and John Levon [3] plus of course the initial request for it from Tatsuro Enokura (and the Fujistu people in general) [4] The problem to me comes from 2 things: 1/ storing tuning informations in domains descriptions is not sufficient 2/ if we store them there we also need to always save them when exporting the XML domain file 2/ is fairly important to avoid a lot of problems as we have experienced before for example with console informations. If the input for virsh create gets different from the output of dumpxml, a lot of rather annoying things happen in practice, it certainly generate confusion. So we really need to output those tuning data if we put them in. Also I strongly believe in 1/, i.e. tuning informations are cross domain and they are vey likely to change fast as soon as the management applications will get deployed, but even in relatively small deployment the tuning is rather a per host informations, which may depend on the current workload of the machine. I don't believe in tuning being loaded at create time and never changing later. Even in my own very basic usage that doesn't match my use which lead me to load and stop domain on demand for short period of time. My opinion: ----------- We need better tools, even for simple use case to be able to save an existing tuning for a domain or a full machine, and reload it when needed. This is IMHO better done on top of the existing API which already have the entry points to implement them. My idea is to provide tuning commands in virsh [5]. If you implement tuning both at creation time and in the tool, this mean you either make them different in which case you have no coherency between what you say when you create a domain or save its config and what you do at the virsh level. If you don't make it different (for example trying to use the same kind of XML syntax), then you need code for doing this both in the tool and in the library itself, or you export as a new API the tuning load and save. Exporting as a parallel API what we have already for scheduling and VCPU affinity makes the API more complex, and less coherent. I don't want to force the decision one way or another, it is probable I missed something, but I don't think adding tuning informations to the domain configuration file to be really that convenient, I could be done better, and with less associated problems by keeping those separate.

[Libvir] latest NUMA/cpuset code testing
by beth kon 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

I tested the latest CVS libvirt on a 128-way x3950 and create, define, and start appear to work well with various cpusets specified. The only thing I noticed was that dumpxml does not grab the cpuset info. I have not looked at the code to verify, but is this expected? Maybe you discussed this Daniel, but I can't remember at the moment. -- Elizabeth Kon (Beth) IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: eak(a)us.ibm.com

[Libvir] [PATCH] Enhanced stats for fullvirt domains
by Richard W.M. Jones 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

This patch does a couple of primary things: Firstly it allows you to use "hda", etc. as a path for getting block device stats from fullvirt domains. Secondly it separates out the stats code into a new file called 'stats_linux.c'. The reasoning behind the name is that this code can be shared between Xen & QEMU, and that the code is Linux-specific (it never worked on Solaris, but now this is explicit). I anticipate a 'stats_solaris.c' file once I can get Solaris + Xen going on a test machine. Also we try to detect the case where the block dev stats of a fullvirt domain are stuck at 0 -- caused by there being no frontend driver connected. We detect the condition by a query to xenstore. XENVBD_MAJOR is no longer hard-coded if we can get it instead from Linux header files. This patch adds bytes written/read to block devices for Xen PV domains if available. This also corrects a bug where stats from xvdb, xvdc, .. could not be read out because the device number was being miscalculated.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Fix xen://hostname URIs with no trailing slash
by Richard W.M. Jones 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

It turns out that xmlParseURI gives an error if asked to parse the string "xen://". This string arises because after a URI such as "xen://hostname" has been stripped of its server field, it becomes "xen://" on the remote end of the connection, and the failure of xmlParseURI causes the whole connection to fail. I'm not sure of the best way to fix it. The attached patch is a semi-hack which at least allows xen://hostname to work. It's not a problem for qemu because these URIs should always contain a path. Nor for test for the same reason. Not sure about OpenVZ.
