[libvirt] [PATCH] lxc: do not require 'ifconfig' or 'ipconfig' in container
by Scott Moser 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Currently, the lxc implementation invokes 'ip' and 'ifconfig' commands inside a container using 'virRun'. That has the side effect of requiring those commands to be present and to function in a manner consistent with the usage. Some small roots (such as ttylinux) may not have 'ip' or 'ifconfig'. This patch replaces the use of these commands with usage of netdevice. The result is that lxc containers do not have to implement those commands, and lxc in libvirt is only dependent on the netdevice interface. I've tested this patch locally against the ubuntu libvirt version enough to verify its generally sane. I attempted to build upstream today, but failed with: /usr/bin/ld: ../src/.libs/libvirt_driver_qemu.a(libvirt_driver_qemu_la-qemu_domain.o): undefined reference to symbol 'xmlXPathRegisterNs@@LIBXML2_2.4.30 Thats probably a local issue only, but I wanted to get this patch up and see what others thought of it.

[libvirt] [RFC] Create ptmx as a device
by Serge Hallyn 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hi, I'm seeing an issue with udev and libvirt-lxc. Libvirt-lxc creates /dev/ptmx as a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. When udev starts up, it checks the device type, sees ptmx is 'not right', and replaces it with a 'proper' ptmx. In lxc, /dev/ptmx is bind-mounted from /dev/pts/ptmx instead of being symlinked, so udev sees the right device type and leaves it alone. A patch like the following seems to work for me. Would there be any objections to this? >From 4c5035de52de7e06a0de9c5d0bab8c87a806cba7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ubuntu <ubuntu(a)domU-12-31-39-14-F0-B3.compute-1.internal> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:15:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] make ptmx a bind mount rather than symlink udev on some systems checks the device type of /dev/ptmx, and replaces it if not as expected. The symlink created by libvirt-lxc therefore gets replaced. By creating it as a bind mount, the device type is correct and udev leaves it alone.

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] BlockJob: Bandwidth parameter is in MB when using text monitor
by Adam Litke 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Due to an unfortunate precedent in qemu, the units for the bandwidth parameter to block_job_set_speed are different between the text monitor and the qmp monitor. While the qmp monitor uses bytes/s, the text monitor expects MB/s. Correct the units for the text interface.

[libvirt] [PATCH] BlockPull: Set initial bandwidth limit if specified
by Adam Litke 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

The libvirt BlockPull API supports the use of an initial bandwidth limit but the qemu block_stream API does not. To get the desired behavior we use the two APIs strung together: first BlockPull, then BlockJobSetSpeed. We can do this at the driver level to avoid duplicated code in each monitor path.

[libvirt] Problems with "attach-interface" command of libvirt
by Tao Siheng 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Dear libvirt-developer: I'm a student of computer science and technology in China. I encountered a problem when I want to attach a bridge to an existed Virtual Machine. I used the command "attach-interface domain_id bridge br0 --target tap0". "br0" was created by brctl and "tap0" was created by tunctl.Here is the error information: error: Failed to attach interface error: internal error unable to send TAP file handle: No file descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS. I know there are some bugs in the earlier version of libvirt. So I upgraded the ubuntu kernel to 2.6.38.8 and added the module "macvtap" by the using the command "sudo modprobe macvtap". I have installed libvirt0.8.8, QEMU 0.8.8 and QEMU 0.12.3.Although I did all the above, the problem is still not solved. I need your help sincerely. Tao Siheng 2011.9.1
