[libvirt] [libvirt-sandbox][PATCH] module lookup and rundir fix
by Radu C. 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I've been trying to get libvirt-sandbox working on my Gentoo box but I ran into some difficulties. The version I'm using is the latest git one. The first problem was the following when running virt-sandbox: "Unable to start sandbox: Error opening file '/tmp/libvirt-sandbox-9ivpRN/9pnet.ko': File exists" I pinpointed the problem to the following diff in commit [05fb94d2c42abe9cfd86c3663d704c268f325503]: - gchar *moddirpath = g_strdup_printf("/lib/modules/%s/kernel", + gchar *moddirpath = g_strdup_printf("/lib/modules/%s", The problem is that symlinks are made to the build directory and it finds a module multiple times. I inserted a printf in the lookup loop so here's what I mean: dmns libvirt-sandbox # virt-sandbox -c qemu:///system -n test1323 -v -d /usr/bin/yes found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/kernel/fs/fscache/fscache.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/source/fs/fscache/fscache.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/build/fs/fscache/fscache.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/kernel/net/9p/9pnet.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/source/net/9p/9pnet.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/build/net/9p/9pnet.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/kernel/fs/9p/9p.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/source/fs/9p/9p.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/build/fs/9p/9p.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/kernel/net/9p/9pnet_virtio.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/source/net/9p/9pnet_virtio.ko found: /lib/modules/3.4.0-gentoo/build/net/9p/9pnet_virtio.ko The next problem was the following: dmns libvirt-sandbox # virt-sandbox -c qemu:///system -n test123 -v -d /usr/bin/yes Unable to start sandbox: Failed to create domain: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 Virtio-9p Failed to initialize fs-driver with id:fsdev-fs1 and export path:libvirt-sandbox/test123/config It appears when running as root because of the following line: ./libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-context.c: cachedir = (getuid() ? g_get_user_cache_dir() : RUNDIR); RUNDIR is always "" due to being compiled with -DRUNDIR=\"\" . This is because there's a typo in makefile.am Both of these are fixed in the diff attachment. Having these fixes in place everything works fine when using libvirt 0.9.10 but for newer versions I noticed every time I ran virt-sandbox the libvirtd daemon would segfault. Using git bisect I traced the problem back to commit [1]. So I reverted back to libvirt 0.9.10 but I believe there is a problem both in the commit and somewhere in libvirt-sandbox. Please have a look and tell me if you need extra info. [1] http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=4716138229ae47c5492c13a862… Radu Caragea.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Don't overwrite security labels
by Michal Privoznik 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

If we have a running domain A with a PCI/USB device X passthrough, and user wants to start domain B with again device X, we reject start however, call qemuProcessStop to perform rollback. This however does not do any rollback just cleanup therefore rewrite labels on device X leaving domain A in silly situation.

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: let 'connect' without args remember -c option
by Eric Blake 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

If a user invokes 'virsh -c $URI', then within that batch shell, they probably want 'connect' to revert to $URI rather than the normal default URI you get for passing in NULL. In particular, I had a setup where qemu:///session was failing, but took 20 seconds to fail; since 'make -C tests check TESTS=virsh-all' exercises the command 'virsh -c test:///default connect' without arguments, it was locking up for 20 seconds trying to connect to qemu, even though the testsuite specifically wants to limit itself to the test:///default URI. * tools/virsh.c (__vshControl): Add member. (main, vshParseArgv): Set it. (vshDeinit): Clean it up. (cmdConnect): Use it to reopen to original connection. --- This doesn't fix the root cause of this problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-June/msg00237.html but at least it makes my 'make check' runs faster while I still investigate the root problem. tools/virsh.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/virsh.c b/tools/virsh.c index 0453b95..b28dc49 100644 --- a/tools/virsh.c +++ b/tools/virsh.c @@ -241,6 +241,7 @@ typedef struct __vshCmd { */ typedef struct __vshControl { char *name; /* connection name */ + char *default_name; /* -c or env-var default when name is NULL */ virConnectPtr conn; /* connection to hypervisor (MAY BE NULL) */ vshCmd *cmd; /* the current command */ char *cmdstr; /* string with command */ @@ -856,7 +857,7 @@ cmdConnect(vshControl *ctl, const vshCmd *cmd) vshError(ctl, "%s", _("Please specify valid connection URI")); return false; } - ctl->name = vshStrdup(ctl, name); + ctl->name = vshStrdup(ctl, name ? name : ctl->default_name); ctl->useGetInfo = false; ctl->useSnapshotOld = false; @@ -19922,6 +19923,7 @@ vshDeinit(vshControl *ctl) vshReadlineDeinit(ctl); vshCloseLogFile(ctl); VIR_FREE(ctl->name); + VIR_FREE(ctl->default_name); if (ctl->conn) { int ret; if ((ret = virConnectClose(ctl->conn)) != 0) { @@ -20176,7 +20178,8 @@ vshParseArgv(vshControl *ctl, int argc, char **argv) ctl->timing = true; break; case 'c': - ctl->name = vshStrdup(ctl, optarg); + VIR_FREE(ctl->default_name); + ctl->default_name = vshStrdup(ctl, optarg); break; case 'v': if (STRNEQ_NULLABLE(optarg, "long")) { @@ -20211,6 +20214,7 @@ vshParseArgv(vshControl *ctl, int argc, char **argv) exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } + ctl->name = vshStrdup(ctl, ctl->default_name); if (argc > optind) { /* parse command */ @@ -20268,7 +20272,7 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) progname++; if ((defaultConn = getenv("VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI"))) { - ctl->name = vshStrdup(ctl, defaultConn); + ctl->default_name = vshStrdup(ctl, defaultConn); } if (!vshParseArgv(ctl, argc, argv)) { -- 1.7.10.2

[libvirt] [PATCH v3 1/2] virsh: add keepalive protocol in virsh

[libvirt] libvirt modification
by Patrick Raad 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I am not that expert in development, but I am working on a project for migrating VM between hosts and I need to add a function to libvirt in order to send a certain message. What I am using is KVM-qemu as a hypervisor. When a VM "live" migrates from a host A to a host B, I need that the host B sends a certain message through a socket, once the live migration has been successfully completed and the VM is running on host B. Can you please tell me which file I must modify in order to add my function? What does libvirt uses to notify the destination that the migration is completed. I thought about modifying qemu_migration.c, but it didn't seem to work, so I was thinking about using virsh.c, but this way the destination host won't be notified so I don't think it can work... Any ideas?? Thank you -- Patrick RAAD

Hi all , I have SL6.2 x86_64 Installed on my system I updated libvirt version from 0.9.4 to 0.9.11, I had removed previous libvirt via yum I done this by compiling the source. I started libvirt daemon created by compiling source : # ./root/libvirt_0.9.11/build/daomen/libvirtd Now I tried to create a guest:- [root@localhost libvirt-0.9.11]# /usr/sbin/virt-install --accelerate --hvm --connect qemu:///system --name g3 --vcpu=1 --ram 1024 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --network bridge:br0 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/g2 --disk=/opt/SL-62-x86_64-2012-02-06-Install-DVD.iso,device=cdrom,perms=ro --location=/mnt/ --nographics --serial pty --extra-args=console=ttyS0,115200n8 --keymap=en --force The command line above normally works fine (I have created many vm by using same above command) But here Following error comes Starting install...
