[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix error squashing when refreshing file volumes
by Cole Robinson 12 May '09

12 May '09

When refreshing a file based pool, errors hit when determining a volume's format were being squashed, reporting OOM instead. The attached patch fixes the error reporting here. Reported by Jason Guiditta. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] PATCH: Another attempt to fix vbox driver open
by Daniel P. Berrange 12 May '09

12 May '09

The patches we just applied for the VirtualBox open method still were not quite right. It would return VIR_DRV_OPEN_DECLINED when uri==NULL, but before doing so it would have set conn->uri to vbox:///session. So even though it declined the connection, all the later drivers would now ignore it. Also, it now returns DECLINED for some real errors that should be reported to the user. Here's an alternative idea I've had for trying to address this. Some goals: - If the user gives a URI with a vbox:/// prefix, we should always handle it, unless a 'server' is set when we leave it to the remote driver - If an invalid path is given we must give back a real error code - If after deciding the URI is for us, any initialization fails we must raise an error. - If the vbox glue layer is missing, we should still raise errors for requested URIs, so user knows their URI is correct. To do this, I've taken the approach of registering a dummy vbox driver if the glue layer is missing. This just parses the URI and always returns an error for any vbox:// URIs that would otherwise work Daniel Index: src/vbox/vbox_driver.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/src/vbox/vbox_driver.c,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -u -p -r1.2 vbox_driver.c --- src/vbox/vbox_driver.c 6 May 2009 13:51:19 -0000 1.2 +++ src/vbox/vbox_driver.c 8 May 2009 16:35:57 -0000 @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ #include "logging.h" #include "vbox_driver.h" #include "vbox_XPCOMCGlue.h" +#include "virterror_internal.h" #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_VBOX @@ -43,15 +44,25 @@ extern virDriver vbox22Driver; extern virDriver vbox25Driver; #endif +static virDriver vboxDriverDummy; + +#define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_VBOX + +#define vboxError(conn, code, fmt...) \ + virReportErrorHelper(conn, VIR_FROM_VBOX, code, __FILE__, \ + __FUNCTION__, __LINE__, fmt) int vboxRegister(void) { virDriverPtr driver; uint32_t uVersion; - /* vboxRegister() shouldn't fail as that will render libvirt unless. - * So, we use the v2.2 driver as a fallback/dummy. + /* + * If the glue layer won' initialize, we register a driver + * with a dummy open method, so we can report nicer errors + * if the user requests a vbox:// URI which we know won't + * ever work */ - driver = &vbox22Driver; + driver = &vboxDriverDummy; /* Init the glue and get the API version. */ if (VBoxCGlueInit() == 0) { @@ -79,7 +90,7 @@ int vboxRegister(void) { } } else { - DEBUG0("VBoxCGlueInit failed"); + DEBUG0("VBoxCGlueInit failed, using dummy driver"); } if (virRegisterDriver(driver) < 0) @@ -87,3 +98,46 @@ int vboxRegister(void) { return 0; } + +static virDrvOpenStatus vboxOpenDummy(virConnectPtr conn, + virConnectAuthPtr auth ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, + int flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) { + uid_t uid = getuid(); + + if (conn->uri == NULL || + conn->uri->scheme == NULL || + STRNEQ (conn->uri->scheme, "vbox") || + conn->uri->server != NULL) + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_DECLINED; + + if (conn->uri->path == NULL || STREQ(conn->uri->path, "")) { + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("no VirtualBox drviver path specified (try vbox:///session)")); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; + } + + if (uid != 0) { + if (STRNEQ (conn->uri->path, "/session")) { + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("unknown driver path '%s' specified (try vbox:///session)"), conn->uri->path); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; + } + } else { /* root */ + if (STRNEQ (conn->uri->path, "/system") && + STRNEQ (conn->uri->path, "/session")) { + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("unknown driver path '%s' specified (try vbox:///system)"), conn->uri->path); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; + } + } + + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API")); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; +} + +static virDriver vboxDriverDummy = { + VIR_DRV_VBOX, + "VBOX", + .open = vboxOpenDummy, +}; Index: src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -p -r1.5 vbox_tmpl.c --- src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c 8 May 2009 10:18:26 -0000 1.5 +++ src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c 8 May 2009 16:35:57 -0000 @@ -216,16 +216,6 @@ no_memory: } static int vboxInitialize(virConnectPtr conn, vboxGlobalData *data) { - - if (VBoxCGlueInit() != 0) { - vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Can't Initialize VirtualBox, VBoxCGlueInit failed."); - goto cleanup; - } - - /* This is for when glue init failed and we're serving as dummy driver. */ - if (g_pfnGetFunctions == NULL) - goto cleanup; - /* Get the API table for out version, g_pVBoxFuncs is for the oldest version of the API that we support so we cannot use that. */ data->pFuncs = g_pfnGetFunctions(VBOX_XPCOMC_VERSION); @@ -291,13 +281,13 @@ static int vboxExtractVersion(virConnect } static void vboxUninitialize(vboxGlobalData *data) { + if (!data) + return; + if (data->pFuncs) data->pFuncs->pfnComUninitialize(); VBoxCGlueTerm(); - if (!data) - return; - virDomainObjListFree(&data->domains); virCapabilitiesFree(data->caps); VIR_FREE(data); @@ -306,52 +296,62 @@ static void vboxUninitialize(vboxGlobalD static virDrvOpenStatus vboxOpen(virConnectPtr conn, virConnectAuthPtr auth ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, int flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) { - vboxGlobalData *data; + vboxGlobalData *data = NULL; uid_t uid = getuid(); if (conn->uri == NULL) { conn->uri = xmlParseURI(uid ?

[libvirt] Java binding
by Zvi Dubitzky 12 May '09

12 May '09

Who is the contact for libvirt Java binding ? In a late mail I said that the Java binding crashes upon live migrate when the dname=null . It does not crash if dname = source domain name even though works slow. The C code of libvirt / libvirt.c /virDomainMigrate () says in its header that : "If a hypervisor supports renaming domains during migration, * then you may set the dname parameter to the new name (otherwise * it keeps the same name). If this is not supported by the * hypervisor, dname must be NULL or else you will get an error." So in the kvm case dname = NULL works for the C binding but not for the JAVA binding as it should . Any idea ? thanks Zvi Dubitzky Virtualization and System Architecture Email:dubi@il.ibm.com IBM Haifa Research Laboratory Phone: +972-4-8296182 Haifa, 31905, ISRAEL

[libvirt] PATCH: 0/4: Fix the event loop (again) no really, this time its fixed.
by Daniel P. Berrange 12 May '09

12 May '09

Back in March I attempted to fix the event loop handling of deleted file handles http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-March/msg00246.html but have merely succeeded in screwing it up in a different fun & exciting way. That patch fixed a case where there was a deleted file handle in the list at the time virEventRunOnce() starts. Which was nice. Not nice, though was that it then breaks the case where a file handle is deleted during the course of dispatching events afer poll(). Investigating this also identified that when we were marking a file handle as deleted, we were forgetting to run virEventInterrupt(), which meant that in some cases the main thread would not be woken up until the next event triggers. Not very critical, but at the same time, not good because it delays cleanup & release of resources. This series of patches fixes the problems, and more importantly, adds a unit test which cover these nasty edge cases.

[libvirt] QEMU/KVM auto-detection bug
by Chris Lalancette 12 May '09

12 May '09

All, Even with Guido/Pritesh's recent changes to the vbox open routine, the auto-detection in libvirt is currently broken. What happens is that in src/libvirt.c:do_open(), at the start of the loop to auto-detect drivers, ret->uri is NULL. As each driver declines, it remains NULL. However, the very first thing the vboxOpen() routine does is: if (conn->uri == NULL) { conn->uri = xmlParseURI(uid ? "vbox:///session" : "vbox:///system"); if (conn->uri == NULL) { return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; } So, any driver that is trying to auto-probe after vboxOpen sees a conn->uri with a scheme of vbox and a path of system/session, and they all fail (including Qemu, which is what I'm mostly concerned with at the moment). In point of fact, this whole auto-detection thing is fragile. We got away with it before because the qemuOpen() routine bombs out before doing the whole conn->uri == NULL check, but in general, it's very easy for one buggy driver to mess up auto-detection for all drivers. Any thoughts about where to go here? We should obviously fix the vboxOpen() routine to not mess with the URI if it's going to fail. Additionally, I was thinking that maybe we should reset conn->uri to NULL in each iteration of the auto-detection loop. While that might leak memory for buggy drivers, it should at least make this whole thing less fragile. Thoughts? -- Chris Lalancette

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/6] Allow multiple monitor devices (v2)
by Anthony Liguori 12 May '09

12 May '09

Right now only one monitor device can be enabled at a time. In order to support asynchronous notification of events, I would like to introduce a 'wait' command that waits for an event to occur. This implies that we need an additional monitor session to allow commands to still be executed while waiting for an asynchronous notification.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/4] Improve QEMU process startup error
by Cole Robinson 11 May '09

11 May '09

Error reporting for failed QEMU processes isn't too great at the moment. A couple cases I have hit: - Trying to start a VM with a cdrom pointing to a nonexistent file. The svirt hook function choked on this and indicated as much in the domain log, but I still had to wait for the pidfile timeout (10 seconds), and the only error reported was 'Domain did not show up'. - QEMU dies quickly at startup. Happened with the pulse audio issue, or if we build cli args incorrectly. The reporting here varies: if QEMU dies before writing out the pidfile, the above case applies. If the pidfile is written, we timeout in ReadLogOutput, and it's hit or miss whether we even report the logfile output to the user. The following patches improve the above cases by ensuring we never have to wait for a timeout, and that the logfile output is always reported in the error message. Changes since v1: Drop patch 1 + 2 (applied separately) Patch 7 is pretty isolated, so was resent to list separately. Don't waitpid in virExecDaemonize if virExec fails. Remove needless pidfile loop in qemudStartVMDaemon. Thanks, Cole Cole Robinson (4): Add helper function virExecDaemonize Report qemu log data if we fail to daemonize the process. Add pidfile argument to __virExec Check that QEMU is still alive while reading startup output. src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 +- src/proxy_internal.c | 16 +--- src/qemu_conf.c | 7 -- src/qemu_driver.c | 89 +++++++++++-------- src/remote_internal.c | 15 +--- src/uml_driver.c | 11 +-- src/util.c | 90 +++++++++++++++++--- src/util.h | 15 +++- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-boot-cdrom.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-boot-floppy.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-boot-network.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-bootloader.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-clock-localtime.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-utc.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-console-compat.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-cdrom-empty.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-cdrom.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-boot-cdrom.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-boot-disk.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-v1-none.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-v1-wb.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-v1-wt.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-v2-none.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-v2-wb.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-v2-wt.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fmt-qcow.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-shared.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-floppy.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-many.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-usb.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-virtio.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-xenvbd.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-graphics-sdl-fullscreen.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-graphics-sdl.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-graphics-vnc-sasl.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-graphics-vnc-tls.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-graphics-vnc.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-address.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-usb-address.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-usb-product.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-input-usbmouse.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-input-usbtablet.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-input-xen.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-migrate.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-minimal.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-misc-acpi.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-misc-no-reboot.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-misc-uuid.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-net-eth-ifname.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-eth.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-user.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-virtio.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-parallel-tcp.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-restore-v1.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-restore-v2.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-dev.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-file.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-many.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-pty.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-serial-tcp-telnet.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-tcp.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-udp.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-unix.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-serial-vc.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-sound.args | 2 +- 65 files changed, 211 insertions(+), 148 deletions(-)
