[libvirt] Reminder: KVM Forum 2012 Call For Participation
by KVM Forum 2012 Program Committee 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Just a reminder, the CFP ends this Friday. -- ================================================================= KVM Forum 2012: Call For Participation November 7-9, 2012 - Hotel Fira Palace - Barcelona, Spain (All submissions must be received before midnight Aug 31st, 2012) ================================================================= KVM is an industry leading open source hypervisor that provides an ideal platform for datacenter virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure, and cloud computing. Once again, it's time to bring together the community of developers and users that define the KVM ecosystem for our annual technical conference. We will discuss the current state of affairs and plan for the future of KVM, its surrounding infrastructure, and management tools. We are also excited to announce the oVirt Workshop will run in parallel with the KVM Forum, bringing in a community focused on enterprise datacenter virtualization management built on KVM. For topics which overlap we will have shared sessions. So mark your calendar and join us in advancing KVM. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/ Once again we are colocated with The Linux Foundation's LinuxCon, Based on feedback from last year, this time it's LinuxCon Europe! KVM Forum attendees will be able to attend oVirt Workshop sessions and are eligible to attend LinuxCon Europe for a discounted rate. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/register We invite you to lead part of the discussion by submitting a speaking proposal for KVM Forum 2012. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp Suggested topics: KVM - Scaling and performance - Nested virtualization - I/O improvements - PCI device assignment - Driver domains - Time keeping - Resource management (cpu, memory, i/o) - Memory management (page sharing, swapping, huge pages, etc) - VEPA, VN-Link, vswitch - Security - Architecture ports QEMU - Device model improvements - New devices and chipsets - Scaling and performance - Desktop virtualization - Spice - Increasing robustness and hardening - Security model - Management interfaces - QMP protocol and implementation - Image formats - Firmware (SeaBIOS, OVMF, UEFI, etc) - Live migration - Live snapshots and merging - Fault tolerance, high availability, continuous backup - Real-time guest support Virtio - Speeding up existing devices - Alternatives - Virtio on non-Linux or non-virtualized Management infrastructure - oVirt (shared track w/ oVirt Workshop) - Libvirt - KVM autotest - OpenStack - Network virtualization management - Enterprise storage management Cloud computing - Scalable storage - Virtual networking - Security - Provisioning SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Abstracts due: Aug 31st, 2012 Notification: Sep 14th, 2012 Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation proposal. In your submission please note how long your talk will take. Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes. Also include in your proposal the proposal type -- one of: - technical talk - end-user talk - birds of a feather (BOF) session Submit your proposal here: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp You will receive a notification whether or not your presentation proposal was accepted by Sep 14th. END-USER COLLABORATION One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how people actually use our software. We will reserve a few slots for end users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements. If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking proposal. Simply mark it as an end-user collaboration proposal. As an end user, this is a unique opportunity to get your input to developers. BOF SESSION We will reserve some slots in the evening after the main conference tracks, for birds of a feather (BOF) sessions. These sessions will be less formal than presentation tracks and targetted for people who would like to discuss specific issues with other developers and/or users. If you are interested in getting developers and/or uses together to discuss a specific problem, please submit a BOF proposal. LIGHTNING TALKS In addition to submitted talks we will also have some room for lightning talks. These are short (5 minute) discussions to highlight new work or ideas that aren't complete enough to warrant a full presentation slot. Lightning talk submissions and scheduling will be handled on-site at KVM Forum. HOTEL / TRAVEL The KVM Forum 2012 will be held in Barcelona, Spain at the Hotel Fira Palace. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/hotel Thank you for your interest in KVM. We're looking forward to your submissions and seeing you at the KVM Forum 2012 in November! Thanks, your KVM Forum 2012 Program Commitee Please contact us with any questions or comments.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Fix define logic
by Michal Privoznik 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

With current flow in qemudDomainDefine we might loose data when updating an existing domain. We parse given XML and overwrite the configuration. Then we try to save the new config. However, this step may fail and we don't perform any roll back. In fact, we remove the domain from the list of domains held up by qemu driver. This is okay as long as the domain was brand new one. --- The easiest steps to reproduce: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851963 src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 3fcca0e..e760ed9 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -5538,6 +5538,7 @@ out: static virDomainPtr qemudDomainDefine(virConnectPtr conn, const char *xml) { struct qemud_driver *driver = conn->privateData; virDomainDefPtr def; + virDomainDefPtr def_backup = NULL; virDomainObjPtr vm = NULL; virDomainPtr dom = NULL; virDomainEventPtr event = NULL; @@ -5561,20 +5562,48 @@ static virDomainPtr qemudDomainDefine(virConnectPtr conn, const char *xml) { if (qemuDomainAssignAddresses(def, NULL, NULL) < 0) goto cleanup; - if (!(vm = virDomainAssignDef(driver->caps, - &driver->domains, - def, false))) { - goto cleanup; + /* We need to differentiate two cases: + * a) updating an existing domain - must preserve previous definition + * so we can roll back if something fails + * b) defining a brand new domain - virDomainAssignDef is just sufficient + */ + if ((vm = virDomainFindByUUID(&driver->domains, def->uuid))) { + if (virDomainObjIsActive(vm)) { + def_backup = vm->newDef; + vm->newDef = def; + } else { + def_backup = vm->def; + vm->def = def; + } + } else { + if (!(vm = virDomainAssignDef(driver->caps, + &driver->domains, + def, false))) { + goto cleanup; + } } def = NULL; vm->persistent = 1; if (virDomainSaveConfig(driver->configDir, vm->newDef ? vm->newDef : vm->def) < 0) { - VIR_INFO("Defining domain '%s'", vm->def->name); - qemuDomainRemoveInactive(driver, vm); - vm = NULL; + if (def_backup) { + /* There is backup so this VM was defined before. + * Just restore the backup. */ + VIR_INFO("Restoring domain '%s' definition", vm->def->name); + if (virDomainObjIsActive(vm)) + vm->newDef = def_backup; + else + vm->def = def_backup; + } else { + /* Brand new domain.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] Introduce new VIR_ERR_AGENT_UNRESPONSIVE error code
by Michal Privoznik 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Currently, when guest agent is configure but not responsive (e.g. due to appropriate service not running in the guest) we return VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR or VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED. Both are wrong.

[libvirt] [PATCH libvirt-glib] Don't hold events lock when dispatching free callbacks
by Daniel P. Berrange 27 Aug '12

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com> The _event_timeout_remove and _event_handle_remove methods were holding onto the global lock when invoking the free callback.
