[libvirt] [PATCH] remote: Add missing virCondDestroy calls
by Matthias Bolte 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

The virCond of the remote_thread_call struct was leaked in some places. This results in leaking the underlying mutex. Which in turn leaks a handle on Windows.

[libvirt] FW: Using dlls for Windows provided in http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.7-2.exe
by Aliaksandr Chabatar 17 Mar '11

Hello libvirt-list, We have a problem. It concerns CPU usage of libvirt library in Windows. It's not a problem in Linux. See attach. At the moment we have a workaround for item 1 - we just calculate the number of handles which are leaked and restart our service if the number exceeds 10.000 As for item 2 - we have no real workaround. In 99.99% it should not happen, but there is still 0.01% In libvirt.log you can find more info as suggested by Daniel. ================================================================ In the attached file, you will find detailed information regarding the case 100 percent CPU usage. Our test was performed on the following system: Windows XP SP3; Libvirt-0.8.8; Run the following command: virsh -c qemu+tcp: / /172.17.46.88:135/system Port 135 was one of the ports on which our service is trying to connect. ================================================================ Could you help us here?

I'm not too familiar with Windows, but if you re-send this mail of yours to libvir-list(a)redhat.com, I expect one of the community members who knows Windows will be able to advise. > As for item 2 - we have no real workaround. In 99.99% it should > not happen, but there is still 0.01% Yeah, that sounds like some piece of code is missing correct error checking. It would be useful to try and obtain a couple of stack traces when it is showing 100% cpu usage. Or capture a libvirt debug log, eg by setting an environment variable in your client application LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS="1:libvirt 1:util 1:remote" LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS="1:file:libvirt.log" Again, sending this log + the info from your mail to the libvir-list would be best.

[libvirt] [PATCH] do not return -1 when human-monitor-command is not supported
by Wen Congyang 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

It is not a fatal error if some monitor command is not supported. So we should not return -1 when human-monitor-command is not supported. Set reply_str to "unknown command: 'human-monitor-command'", and the caller can deal this error the same as the command that we want to run by human-monitor-command.

This sounds like it's something libvirt folks should be involved with. At the very least, this mode is there now and considered basically unstable/experimental/developer use: "Qemu monitor command '%s' executed; libvirt results may be unpredictable!" So likely some concern about making it easier to use, esp. assuming that third parties above are mgmt apps, not just developers. thanks, -chris

[libvirt] Network Interface: How to disable virbr0 correctly?
by Jake Xu 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi all, Recently, I have been using libvirt to create virtual machines on ESX servers. It has been very well until to the point where I couldn't find any way to disable/remove the virbr0 interface properly. We use static configuration for VMs on ESX so we do not need to use virbr0 interface and we do not want libvirt to configure iptables as a result of the newly created virbr0 interface. I have tried to remove/rename the /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart.xml file, and that prevents virbr0 being installed. However, that also seems to prevent the second interface eth1 being configured properly. After libvirt defines a VM, eth0 and eht1 are both installed, but only eth0 is configured properly. The eth1 does not appear in the /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-xxx file. It seems to me that the 'autostart.xml' file interrupts the configuration of the eth1 interface. Can anyone please advise how I can do this properly? Thanks a lot, Jake

[libvirt] attach/detach device in json mode
by Wen Congyang 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi, all The qemu does not support monitor_command drive_add and drive_del in json mode. These two commands are important because attaching/detaching commands need them. AFAIK, if we use libvirt provided by RHEL6(not upstream), we connect to qemu in json mode. So, it is important to make qemu to support these monitor commands in json mode. Markus Armbruster(armbru(a)redhat.com) said these commands are designed badly, and he has started to work on saner commands some time ago: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-02/msg02042.html He suggested us to use human monitor passthrough in the meantime. Should we modify libvirt to use human monitor passthrough command to support attaching/detaching device before the saner commands are ready?
