[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] consistent use of _LAST enum markers
by Eric Blake 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

This patch series will make it harder to add an enum value while forgetting to translate that enum to or from an appropriate string value. It also alters the public API so that users don't get _LAST enum values unless they ask for them, since such values are markers that might change over time rather than an official unchanging API value.

[libvirt] Can't compile libvirt 0.9.9 (complains about apparmor)
by Jean-Philippe Menil 22 Jan '12

22 Jan '12

Hi, I need to compile libvirt 0.9.9 to work with qemu-kvm 1.0. I use to compile libvirt without apparmor or selinux, but this time, with the newer version, it seems that i can't compile with the following options: ./configure --disable-rpath --with-qemu=yes --with-qemu-user=libvirt-qemu --with-qemu-group=kvm --with-init-script=none --without-xen-inotify --without-uml --without-vmware --without-libssh2 --without-phyp --without-xenapi --without-libxl --without-esx --without-hyperv --without-test --without-remote --without-sasl --without-yajl --without-sanlock --without-polkit --without-avahi --without-audit --without-dtrace --without-numactl --without-capng --without-network --without-netcf --without-secrets --without-storage-lvm --without-storage-dir --without-storage-fs --without-storage-iscsi --without-storage-scsi --without-storage-mpath --without-storage-disk --without-python --without-driver-modules --without-hal --without-udev --without-libblkid --without-virtualport --without-macvtap --enable-debug=n --without-xen --without-vbox --without-lxc --without-openvz --with-driver-modules=no --without-apparmor --without-secdriver-apparmor --without-selinux --without-secdriver-selinux Relevant error is : configure:54338: error: You must install the AppArmor development package in order to compile libvirt Note that, if i compile with the option "with-apparmor", configure works fine, and i haven't any errors. Is it possible to compile libvirt without apparmor?

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] virsh: extend domif-{get, set}link command to accept target name as a parameter
by Taku Izumi 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Other virsh domifXXX commands can accept target name as a parameter to specify interface. From viewpoint of consistency, virsh domif-getlink command should accept target name as a parameter.

[I went ahead and cc'd the libvirt list] Yes, libvirt can live with this approach. And having this in parallel to a qemu-ga verb is nice, since, as it was pointed out, this would allow interaction with guests that have a balloon device but not a guest agent. You may want to read this thread [1], for thoughts on the impact of making another existing blocking command be extended into one that starts an async event and ends when an event is raised; libvirt can expose both a blocking and an asynchronous implementation to the user on top of the qemu model being just asynchronous. [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-January/msg00562.html Thinking aloud - do we need a means to poll the state of the balloon-stat query? On the one hand, if libvirtd issues the start command, then gets stopped, then the event occurs, then libvirtd is restarted, then libvirt won't know that the event was missed. On the other hand, since this involves guest interaction, libvirt already has to assume that the guest may be malicious and refuse to report stats and/or report invalid stats, so libvirt would already have to be prepared to give up if no event has arrived in a fixed amount of time, and that also means that restarting libvirtd can just ignore any balloon query that was in flight before the restart. So I guess I'm okay with just a start and an event, with no poll of the last-known guest response. But it does mean that qemu has to gracefully handle if libvirt makes two start requests in a row without any intervening events, and conversely that libvirt has to be prepared for an event that happens even when libvirt doesn't remember triggering the start command. > Another interesting point is that, there's another way of doing this and > it's using qemu-ga instead.

We also could return a lot more information if needed. > The only disadvantage I can see is the dependency on qemu-ga... Most likely, we would want to teach libvirt to use both methods, and give the choice to the user on which approach to use when the guest supports both. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
