Hi Eric, I realised you have not received my mails due to some problem with IMAP server. I sent out second version of my patch with your suggestions last week. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-October/msg01110.html Could you please help me reviewing the V2 ?

[libvirt] [RFC] net-dhcp-leases: Query: Reg: Leases API Script
by Nehal J Wani 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Q1. The --dhcp-script option will require libvirt to provide a script or executable file to be run. Now as the man page says, this file is executed "Whenever a new DHCP ease is created, or an old one destroyed". Life was easy with the script, as it used the command sed to remove the destroyed lease. eblake had suggested me to use a C program instead. So I wanted to finalize whether to go with C or continue with shell script. Q2. The above executable file will be writing the custom formatted lease parameters to a file "dnsmasq-ip-mac.status" (suggestion open for name). This newly created/updated file will be parsed by the API. We need to decide the format for the file. Do we continue with space separated parameters as before? Q3. What should be the location of the above two files? Is there any example that I can follow in libvirt for deploying custom-script files/C programs which are not to be linked? Script is attached. -- Nehal J Wani

[libvirt] pvpanic plans?
by Paolo Bonzini 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

The thread from yesterday has died off (perhaps also because of my inappropriate answer to Michael, for which I apologize to him and everyone). I took some time to discuss the libvirt requirements further with Daniel Berrange and Eric Blake on IRC. If anyone is interested, I can give logs. This is a suggestion for how to proceed in both QEMU and libvirt. == Builtin pvpanic == QEMU will remove pvpanic from pc-1.5 in 1.6.1 and 1.5.4. This does not break migration. == Support in libvirt for current functionality == libvirt will add a <panic-notifier/> element, and possibly a capability for it accessible via "virsh capabilities". There are two possibilities: 1) On QEMU 1.5.4/1.6.1 and newer (and on QEMU 1.6.0 with a machine type other than pc-1.5), <on_crash> will only work if the element is there. On QEMU 1.5.0->1.5.3, and on QEMU 1.6.0 with the pc-1.5 machine type, <on_crash> will be obeyed always, and may override e.g. reboot-on-panic if a guest driver exist. 2) On all versions, <on_crash> will only work if the element is there. In turn, there are two ways to implement (2): 2a) libvirt will always add -global pvpanic.iobase=0 to neutralize the builtin pvpanic device if present. <panic-notifier/> will create the device with -device pvpanic,iobase=0x505 Advantage: no changes to QEMU Disadvantage 1: writes to port 0 with QEMU 1.{5.0,5.1,5.2,5.3,6.0} and pc-1.5 machine type will write to a pvpanic device instead of the DMA controller. Probably harmless, and limited to some QEMU versions. Disadvantage 2: libvirt has knowledge of the pvpanic port number 2b) QEMU will provide a way for libvirt to detect that no machine type has the builtin pvpanic. If some machine type may have the builtin pvpanic, and <panic-notifier/> is absent, libvirt will add "-global pvpanic.iobase=0" to neutralize it. Otherwise, libvirt will create the device normally. A possible way for libvirt to detect "good" machine types is a dummy property. This is a bit ugly in that the property would not affect the behavior of the device. The property would remain in the long term. Another possibility is for QEMU to rename the device, e.g. to isa-pvpanic. This is also somewhat gross, but not visible in the long term when the "pvpanic" name will be lost in history. Advantage 1: libvirt has no knowledge of the pvpanic port number Disadvantage 1: same as above Disadvantage 2: need a somewhat gross change in QEMU This method also provides an (also somewhat gross on the QEMU side) way to detect other changes in the pvpanic semantics. One example mentioned below, is making the panicked state temporary. == Possible improvements to pvpanic == The current implementation of pvpanic supports three modes: reset system on panic, destroy domain on panic, preserve domain with no possibility to resume it. (Optionally a domain can be dumped too). Long term, the choice to include pvpanic should not be on the guest admin's shoulders, but rather in libosinfo. Thus, it would be nice to have a fourth mode where the panic is logged but the guest otherwise keeps running. This mode would let libosinfo add pvpanic by default without affecting the guest's behavior on panic. With this change, <on_crash>ignore</on_crash> will behave as follows for the three possibilities above: (1) With QEMU 1.5.0 to 1.6.1, <on_crash> will _not_ obey the setting, never (even if no <panic-notifier/> is specified). libvirt will have to pick a fallback action. advantage of destroy as fallback: it is the default (but note that restart is the default for virt-install) advantage of preserve as fallback: lets the admin examine the panic advantage of restart as fallback: maximum availability of the VM, it is the default for virt-install (2a) With QEMU 1.5.0 to 1.6.1, <on_crash> will _not_ obey the setting if <panic-notifier/> is specified. libvirt has _no way_ to learn about this, so the capability would always be present with these QEMU versions and libosinfo would always add <panic-notifier/> with these versions. Given the libosinfo scenario being considered here, this is not very different from (1). (2b) With QEMU 1.5.0 to 1.6.1, the <panic-notifier/> element will not be available and not exposed in libvirt capabilities. Thus with this version libosinfo would omit <panic-notifier/> from the XML. Guest policy will always be followed correctly. The problem in both (1) and (2a) can be summarized as follows. First, libvirt will have to implement and document a fallback action for buggy QEMU. Second, even though the problems would be limited to some version of QEMU, they would be relatively hard to debug for a casual user, could start happening randomly by updating any one of QEMU, libvirt, libosinfo or the guest kernel, and there is no fallback action for libvirt that is always correct. Thus, considering future libosinfo support for pvpanic, (2b) is preferrable in my opinion. Now, making pvpanic reversible requires a change in QEMU (patch already posted). Andreas proposed using a pvpanic property to determine whether the panicked state is temporary or definitive. libvirt could piggyback on such a property to detect the "goodness" of machine types (as mentioned regarding solution 2b above). However: First, this would require a more intrusive patch, less appealing for 1.5 and 1.6 stable branches. Second, there is no reason why libvirt would want to make the panicked state definitive. To achieve the same effect, libvirt can just not issue the "continue" monitor command when the guest is panicked. Thus the new property would be useless except to communicate pvpanic behavior---and renaming the device still seems preferrable to me. Thanks for reading up to here! Paolo

[libvirt] [PATCH] virnetsocket: fix getsockopt on FreeBSD
by Ryota Ozaki 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

aa0f099 introduced a strict error checking for getsockopt and it revealed that getting a peer credential of a socket on FreeBSD didn't work. Libvirtd hits the error: error : virNetSocketGetUNIXIdentity:1198 : Failed to get valid client socket identity groups SOL_SOCKET (0xffff) was used as a level of getsockopt for LOCAL_PEERCRED, however, it was wrong. 0 is correct as well as Mac OS X. So for LOCAL_PEERCRED our options are SOL_LOCAL (if defined) or 0 on Mac OS X and FreeBSD. According to the fact, the patch simplifies the code by removing ifdef __APPLE__. I tested the patch on FreeBSD 8.4, 9.2 and 10.0-BETA1.

[libvirt] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.4
by Daniel Veillard 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

I finally tagged and genrated tarballs for RC1 of 1.1.4, so we have now entered freeze. The bits are available as usual at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ My initial testing doesn't show anything suspicious but is limited, so please give it a try, especially for portability issues ! If all goes well i will probably make an rc2 by Thurday and release 1.1.4 for good on Monday 4th. Give it a try ! thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
