[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Add HAP to domain features
by Jim Fehlig 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hardware features such as Extended Page Table and Nested Page Table augment hypervisor software techniques such as shadow page table. Adding HAP (hardware assisted paging) to the virDomainFeature enumeration allows users to select between hardware and software memory management mechanisms for their guests. I've seen reports [1] of users asking for this capability in the past. Patch 3 is an attempt to advertise the feature in hvm guest capabilities for the Xen hypervisor. I have not found a way to discover the presence of HAP support through the xen tools. Instead, the feature is only advertised on Xen >= 3.3, which sadly won't accommodate distro backports to older Xen versions. Thanks for your comments, Jim [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-xen@redhat.com/msg02680.html Jim Fehlig (4): Add HAP to virDomainFeature enum Add support for HAP feature to xen drivers Add HAP to xen hypervisor capabilities Document HAP domain feature docs/formatdomain.html.in | 5 +++++ docs/schemas/domain.rng | 7 ++++++- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 3 ++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c | 10 ++++++++++ src/xen/xend_internal.c | 4 ++++ src/xen/xm_internal.c | 8 ++++++++ src/xenapi/xenapi_driver.c | 2 ++ src/xenapi/xenapi_utils.c | 2 ++ 9 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 1.7.3.1

[libvirt] virsh setmem and setmaxmem: which XML do they match?
by Justin Clift 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi all, Updating the man pages for the virsh setmem and setmaxmem commands at the moment. These two commands only run on active guest domains. So, as a helpful pointer on how to make the change with an inactive domain, I'm going to mention what the equivalent XML tag is for use with virsh edit. Like this: Note, this command only works on active guest domains. To change the memory allocation for an inactive guest domain, use the virsh B<edit> command to update the XML <memory> element. I'm just not sure which XML element the setmem and setmaxmem commands map to. Does "setmaxmem" map to <memory>, and "setmem" map to <currentMemory>? The description in our XML format domain doc is less than clear. :/ Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

[libvirt] esx driver: XML format for guest OS type/variant
by Jake Xu 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi, I am trying to create a VM using the Python bindings of Libvirt. I can successfully create VM from a XML template, but I can't find any way to define the guest OS type/variant like CentOS 5.5 64bit for my VM. The native format converted from XML is always guestOS="other-64" - which doesn't tell us much about the guest operating system. I have looked at the C libvirt source code a bit, and it seems like libvirt does not support defining guest os type using XML description yet. Is there any way I can set the guest OS type for my VM? Thanks, Jake

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/7] security: Allow disabling security per VM
by Cole Robinson 14 Jan '11

Enabling a security driver in qemu.conf is currently all or nothing. The option to disable security on a per VM basis can be a useful debugging tool or work around for frustrated users.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix crash in SELinuxSecurityVerify
by Laine Stump 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

When attempting to edit a domain, libvirtd segfaulted in SELinuxSecurityVerify() on this line: if (!STREQ(virSecurityManagerGetModel(mgr), secdef->model)) { because secdef->model was NULL. Although I'm too tired to investigate in depth, I noticed that all the other functions in that file that do the same STREQ() will first check that def->seclabel.label is non-NULL, but this function doesn't. I also noticed that label *is* NULL in my case, so I tried adding that check to SELinuxSecurityVerify(), and the crash goes away. I have no idea if this is the correct fix, but it allowed me to continue my testing of a new (unrelated) feature. --- src/security/security_selinux.c | 4 ++++ 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/security/security_selinux.c b/src/security/security_selinux.c index d06afde..b97ca4c 100644 --- a/src/security/security_selinux.c +++ b/src/security/security_selinux.c @@ -871,6 +871,10 @@ SELinuxSecurityVerify(virSecurityManagerPtr mgr ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, virDomainDefPtr def) { const virSecurityLabelDefPtr secdef = &def->seclabel; + + if (def->seclabel.label == NULL) + return 0; + if (!STREQ(virSecurityManagerGetModel(mgr), secdef->model)) { virSecurityReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("security label driver mismatch: " -- 1.7.3.4
