[libvirt] [PATCH] cgroup: Change virCgroupRemove to remove all child groups at first
by Ryota Ozaki 06 May '10

06 May '10

As same as normal directories, a cgroup cannot be removed if it contains sub groups. This patch changes virCgroupRemove to remove all child groups (subdirectories) of a target group before removing the target group. The handling is required when we run lxc with ns subsystem of cgroup. Ns subsystem automatically creates child cgroups on every process forks, but unfortunately the groups are not removed on process exits, so we have to remove them by ourselves. With this patch, such child groups are surely removed at lxc shutdown, i.e., lxcVmCleanup which calls virCgroupRemove. --- src/util/cgroup.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/cgroup.c b/src/util/cgroup.c index b8b2eb5..531c131 100644 --- a/src/util/cgroup.c +++ b/src/util/cgroup.c @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <libgen.h> +#include <dirent.h> #include "internal.h" #include "util.h" @@ -561,11 +562,52 @@ cleanup: } #endif +static int virCgroupRemoveRecursively(char *grppath) +{ + DIR *grpdir; + struct dirent *ent; + int rc = 0; + + grpdir = opendir(grppath); + if (grpdir == NULL) { + VIR_ERROR("Unable to open %s (%d)", grppath, errno); + rc = -errno; + return rc; + } + + while ((ent = readdir(grpdir)) != NULL) { + char path[PATH_MAX]; + int ret; + + if (ent->d_name[0] == '.') continue; + if (ent->d_type != DT_DIR) continue; + + ret = snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s/%s", grppath, ent->d_name); + if (ret < 0) + break; + rc = virCgroupRemoveRecursively(path); + if (rc != 0) + break; + } + DEBUG("Removing cgroup %s", grppath); + if (rmdir(grppath) != 0 && errno != ENOENT) { + rc = -errno; + VIR_ERROR("Unable to remove %s (%d)", grppath, errno); + } + + return rc; +} + /** * virCgroupRemove: * * @group: The group to be removed * + * It first removes all child groups recursively + * in depth first order and then removes @group + * because the presence of the child groups + * prevents removing @group. + * * Returns: 0 on success */ int virCgroupRemove(virCgroupPtr group) @@ -585,10 +627,8 @@ int virCgroupRemove(virCgroupPtr group) &grppath) != 0) continue; - DEBUG("Removing cgroup %s", grppath); - if (rmdir(grppath) != 0 && errno != ENOENT) { - rc = -errno; - } + DEBUG("Removing cgroup %s and all child cgroups", grppath); + rc = virCgroupRemoveRecursively(grppath); VIR_FREE(grppath); } -- 1.6.5.2

[libvirt] libvirt with qemu-kvm, not recognizing NIC model
by Jonathan Hoover 06 May '10

06 May '10

Is this the right list for this question, or should I be elsewhere? I am trying to specify a network card "model type" of "pcnet" (to emulate vmware esxi's network card). No matter what I put for model type in my xml config file, it comes up as an Intel e1000. I ran "qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null" and I got back a list of supported models including pcnet,e1000,virtio, and others as expected. No matter which I put in my xml file for /etc/libvirt/qemu/Symantec-bg.xml (a Symantec Brightmail Gateway virtual machine), I just get back that its an Intel card on boot (which doesn't work with Symantec BG). I am running Fedora 12, kernel is 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64. The version of libvirt is 0.7.1. I am running it on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66 GHz. I have the same problem under Fedora 13 Beta. Thoughts? Jonathan Hoover

[libvirt] Alternative to XML Creation and Parsing?
by Ganesh Pagade 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hello, We plan to develop a fancy GUI which would help creating and managing VMs/Domains for RHEL 5.4 KVM. However looking at the schemas provided in docs/schemas/ (Ex: domain.rng) generating the XML file from the inputs taken from the GUI and pass it on to virDomainDefineXML() turns out to be a huge tasks in itself. I was wondering if there is an better way for me to provide my configurations to the library and also to read data from it (instead of creating, parsing XMLs)? If an alternate approach exist, are there any limitations with it? Also the schema given in docs/schemas/ would be generic for all hyper visor. How can I identify the tags applicable only for a particular hyper visor? I found: virConnectDomainXMLFromNative(virConnectPtr conn, const char * nativeFormat, const char * nativeConfig, unsigned int flags) in API reference, which could solve my first problem but couldn't figure out what nativeFormat would be. Any inputs/pointers would be highly appreciated. Regards, Ganesh

[libvirt] [PATCH] configure.ac: Avoid uname, which breaks cross-compilation
by Matthias Bolte 05 May '10

05 May '10

When cross-compiling on Linux, configure will misdetect the target as Linux because it uses uname instead of relying on the $host variable. This results in including libvirt_linux.syms into libvirt.syms and therefore trying to export undefined symbols.

[libvirt] why we should use a mechanical indentation checker
by Jim Meyering 04 May '10

04 May '10

I introduced a bug with this supposedly-safe, no-semantic-change delta: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6719eab9e95c5daeeea85 See if you can spot it. Here is the loop in question, as it was prior to my erroneous change: for (i = 0; i < nruleInstances; i++) switch (inst[i]->ruleType) { case RT_EBTABLES: ebiptablesInstCommand(&buf, inst[i]->commandTemplate, 'A', -1, 1); break; case RT_IPTABLES: haveIptables = true; break; case RT_IP6TABLES: haveIp6tables = true; break; } Its formatting is WRONG. Sure, it is technically correct to omit the curly braces when the for-loop body is a single *statement*, as it is above. However, the moment the construct in the body occupies more than one line, it is very risky to omit the curly braces. I demonstrated that yesterday by inserting a no-op sa_assert statement as the "first" line of that loop body, not noticing that unlike my other two additions, this one pushed the single-stmt body *out of the loop*. Nasty. For example, do not omit the curly braces even when the body is just a single-line statement but with a preceding comment. while (true) /* explanation... */ BAD! single_line_stmt (); while (true) { /* Always put braces around a multi-line body. */ /* explanation... */ single_line_stmt (); } Of course do not do this, either: if (expr) while (other_expr) { BAD! ... } Do this, instead: if (expr) { while (other_expr) { ... } } I am adding something like the following to coreutils' HACKING, and will add the equivalent (adjusting indentation/brace-positioning style in the examples) to libvirt's hacking.html.in, so if you object, speak up soon. While writing the above and below, I noticed that with the GNU formatting style, this is less of a problem, since there you do not add those oh-so-important-to-semantics curly braces at the *end* of a line where it easy to miss them, but at the beginning. In addition, with the GNU style, adding the opening curly brace changes the indentation level of the body, while in libvirt's style, it does not. In either case, an automatic indentation checker would catch the problem. This is yet another reason to enforce an indentation style. The longer we wait, the harder it will become. Note: these diffs are relative to coreutils' HACKING file, not libvirt's: diff --git a/HACKING b/HACKING index 124c666..4a6d593 100644 --- a/HACKING +++ b/HACKING @@ -233,6 +233,110 @@ Try to make the summary line fit one of the following forms: maint: change-description +Curly braces: use judiciously +============================= +Omit the curly braces around an "if", "while", "for" etc. body only when +that body occupies a single line.
