[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Add support for preallocated fd memory
by Jaroslav Safka 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hi the xml element to be extended with additional children is the memoryBacking element. We would like to introduce 3 new elements source,access and allocation <memoryBacking> <source type="file|anonymous" path='/path/to/qemu/'/> <access Mode="shared|private"/> <allocation mode="immediate|ondemand"/> </memoryBacking> If allocation is immediate then -mem-prealloc should be added to the qemu commanline. If source is file then -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu -numa node,memdev=mem Should be added to the qemu commandline If access is shared then the share=on parameter should be added to the memory-backend-file e.g. -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu,share=on Jaroslav Safka (2): Add support for preallocated fd memory Add support for preallocated fd memory docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 37 +++++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 149 +++++++++++++++----- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 34 +++++ src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 156 ++++++++++++++++----- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 4 + .../qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-no-numa-topology.args | 34 +++++ .../qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-no-numa-topology.xml | 96 +++++++++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-numa-topology.args | 34 +++++ .../qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-numa-topology.xml | 99 +++++++++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-memorybacking-set.xml | 32 +++++ .../qemuxml2argv-memorybacking-unset.xml | 32 +++++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 24 ++++ .../qemuxml2xmlout-memorybacking-set.xml | 40 ++++++ .../qemuxml2xmlout-memorybacking-unset.xml | 40 ++++++ tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c | 3 + 15 files changed, 748 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-no-numa-topology.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-no-numa-topology.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-numa-topology.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-fd-memory-numa-topology.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-memorybacking-set.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-memorybacking-unset.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-memorybacking-set.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-memorybacking-unset.xml -- 2.5.5 -------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Research and Development Ireland Limited Registered in Ireland Registered Office: Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare Registered Number: 308263 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

[libvirt] 2 major proposals to enhance libvirt and its attractivity among developers & users
by jean-christophe Manciot 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hello everyone. Going straight to the point: 1) *add connection type: Docker* This should not induce a lot of development since there is already an LXC connection type. 2) add the ability to *choose the bridge type of any virtual network*: - Linux bridge + VPP : Cisco has recently open-sourced the virtual switch/router <https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/What_is_VPP%3F> which it uses with DPDK as a core part of some of its commercial virtual products. Its performance should be unprecedented as compared to the current Linux bridge or even OvS. "VPP is also applicable to many architectures (x86, ARM, and PowerPC) and deployment environments (bare metal, VM, container)", according to Simon Dredge in FD.io Takes Over VPP and Unites with DPDK to Accelerate NFV Data Planes to Outright Nutty Speeds <http://www.metaswitch.com/the-switch/fd.io-takes-over-vpp>. + OvS: not a priority IMHO. Regards. -- *Jean-Christophe Manciot* *[image: Architecte réseaux et Sécurité] <https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/people/manciot.jeanchristophe/content> *[image: Network & Security Architect] <https://fr.linkedin.com/in/jeanchristophemanciot/en> <https://twitter.com/jc_manciot> <https://plus.google.com/u/0/+jeanchristopheManciot-IT/posts>

[libvirt] Entering freeze for libvirt-2.3.0
by Daniel Veillard 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Since nobody complained about my earlier message with the release plan, I tagged libvirt-2.3.0 candidate release 1 in git and pushed signed tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ As usual my limited testing is really not sufficient so please give it a try, I enjoy the view of a completely green https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt-project/ :-) but that doesn't test portability to other platforms for example ! Then I will try to push rc2 on Thursday, that way the final release can happen during the week-end or on Monday if all goes well, thanks for testing it !

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] introduce pull backups
by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hi, everyone. Please take a look at pull backup API and its qemu implementation. There is no any documentation inside yet so I put it here. Backup is described in xml like next: <domainbackup> <address type="ip" host="0.0.0.0" port="7000"/> <disks> <disk name='sda'> <source file="/root/backup.hdd"/> </disk> <disk name='sdb' present='no'/> </disks> </domainbackup> <disks>, <disk>, <source> elements and 'present' attribute are optional. The export address is bare minimum to export all non read only disks with inserted media. This xml description is close to what we have for snapshots. Implementation depends on experimental qemu command 'x-blockdev-del' and 'blockdev-add' which is still described as work-in-progress even it has no 'x-' prefix. I failed to find the information whether client reading disks being backed up is able to detect all failures in the process or not so some efforts are done to track back up blockjobs failures and report them on pull backup stop. At the same time other clean up errors on stop are ignored so that client can know the essence was the backup operation successful or not. There is a work in progress to provide dirty bitmap information thru nbd to be able to make incremental backups in pull backup scheme. Thus the design should be future proof in this aspect. I see next changes to xml description: <domainbackup> <address type="ip" host="0.0.0.0" port="7000"/> <branch name="backup1"/> <disks> <disk name='sda' type='incremental'> <source file="/root/backup.hdd"/> <bitmap granularity='32Kib'/> </disk> </disks> </domainbackup> Branch name essentially becames dirty backup name in terms of qemu. This option makes possible to have independent branches of incremental backups with possibly different schedule and granularity. Stop operation in case of incremental backups should be specified further to finish/cancel the operation - we have flags for that.

[libvirt] QMP stubs: how to return "not implemented" errors?
by Eduardo Habkost 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hi, When adding new QMP commands that are implemented by arch-specific code, we have been adding stubs that report QERR_UNSUPPORTED (see stubs/arch-query-cpu-model-expansion.c for an example). But we are using GenericError for that, and this prevents clients from reliably checking if the command is really implemented by the QEMU binary. What should be the right solution for this? Some of the options I have considered are: 1) Using CommandNotFound as the error class in the stubs. This sounds wrong because the command exists (it is present in query-commands and in the QAPI schema). 2) Creating a CommandNotImplemented error class. Simple to do, but it would require clients to make two separate checks, before concluding that the command is available (checking query-commands or query-qmp-schema, and then checking for CommandNotImplemented errors). 3.1) Removing the command from query-commands and from the QAPI schema on binaries that don't implement the command. Needlessly complex? 3.2) Removing the unimplemented command from query-commands only (by calling qmp_disable_command()), but keeping it on the QAPI schema. I am not sure it's OK to do that. If it is, this sounds like the simplest solution. Any ideas? -- Eduardo

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu_command: Count the cpus correctly when the <vcpus> are absent
by Shivaprasad 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

qemuBuildSmpCommandLine - is ending up generating "-smp 0," after first/subsequent restarts of the guest and we see "error: internal error: qemu reported thread id for inactive vcpu 'X'" The PostParse logic which changes the hotplug = ABSENT to NO for each vcpus is not called with virDomainDefCopy(because of SKIP_POST_PARSE) after first/subsequent restarts of the guest. Skipping post-parse is fine for all devices as the changes done as part of previous post-parse are captured in virDomainDefFormat and effectively copied during virDomainDefCopy. With cpu-hotplug, the def->individualvcpus is what determines whether the <vcpus> are to be formatted or not in the xml. Since individualvcpus is not set, the copies will have hotpluggable as ABSENT. The fix here is qemuBuildSmpCommandLine to check if the individualvcpus are set OR check the ABSENT flag. We dont want to set the individualvcpus in post-parse as that would disallow migration backwards to qemus not supporting hotplug. So, set check the ABSENT flag too when counting the vcpus instead.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Revert two patches of mine
by Michal Privoznik 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Basically, this broke vCPU hotplug (as discovered by Peter). While these are fixing a bug, they have lover priority (nobody reported the bug until I tried unusual scenario). So revert these in favour of vCPU hotplug feature available and do the right fix after the release.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Increase bound limit for virDomainGetBlockIoTune
by John Ferlan 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Related to my onlist (and ACK'd) series for adding 6 new parameters for adding length (duration) parameters to/for iotune throttling: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-September/msg01090.html As described in a response to the cover: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-October/msg00053.html for some reason I had a brain cramp and neglected to check the virsh blkdeviotune command. These patches could then be applied before the other (already ACK'd) series once the current release is out. In reality they just need to go in some time before patch 8 which adds the 6 new parameters to qemuMonitorGetBlockIoThrottle. A followup patch to that series will enable setting the new parameters (IOW: changes to virsh-domain.c cmdBlkdeviotune().
