[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/9] qemu: Add quorum support to libvirt
by Matthias Gatto 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

The purpose of these patches is to introduce quorum for libvirt I've try to follow this proposal: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-May/msg00533.html This feature ask for 6 task: 1) Allow a _virStorageSource to contain more than one backing store. Therefore we have to treat the field virStorageSourcePtr backingStores as an array instead of a pointer. But doing that, most of the backingStore field would be an array contening only one element. So I've decide to allocate the array only if there is more than 1 backing store in a _virStorageSource. Because all the actual libvirt code use the backingStore field as a pointer and we needs want to change that, I've decide to encapsulate the backingStore field to simplifie the array manipulation. 2) Add the missing field a quorum need in _virStorageSource and the VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_QUORUM and VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QUORUM in their respectives enums. 3) Parse and format the xml Because a quorum allows to have more than one backing store at the same level we need to change virDomainDiskDefFormat and virDomainDiskDefParseXML to call virDomainDiskBackingStoreFormat and virDomainDiskBackingStoreParse in a loop. virDomainDiskBackingStoreFormat and virDomainDiskBackingStoreParse can call themself recursively in a loop because a quorum can contain another quorum 4) Add nodename We need to add nodename support in _virStorageSource because qemu use them for their child. 5) Build qemu string As for the xml, we have to call the function which create quorum recursively. But this task have the problem explained here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-October/msg00529.html The _virStorageSource missing some informations that can be passed to a child, and therefore this version of quorum is incomplet. 6) Allow to hotplug/change a disk in a quorum This part is not present in these patches because for this task we have to use blockdev-add, and currently libvirt use device_add for hotpluging that doesn't allow to hotplug quorum childs. There is 3 way to handle this problem: 1) create a virDomainBlockDevAdd function in libvirt witch call blockdev-add. 2) use blockdev-add instead of device_add in qemuMonitorJSONAddDevice 3) write a hack which uses blockdev-add when only attaching quorum (but i'm pretty sure this solution is not the good one) V2: -Rebase on master -Add Documentation Matthias Gatto (9): virstoragefile: Add virStorageSourceGetBackingStore virstoragefile: Always use virStorageSourceGetBackingStore to get backing store virstoragefile: Add virStorageSourceSetBackingStore virstoragefile: Always use virStorageSourceSetBackingStore to set backing store virstoragefile: Treat backingStore as a pointer or an array virstoragefile: Add quorum in virstoragefile domain_conf: Read and Write quorum config qemu: Add quorum support in qemuBuildDriveDevStr virstoragefile: Add node-name docs/formatdomain.html.in | 27 ++++- docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng | 1 + docs/schemas/storagevol.rng | 1 + src/conf/domain_conf.c | 193 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- src/conf/storage_conf.c | 25 +++-- src/libvirt_private.syms | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c | 4 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 114 ++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 20 ++-- src/qemu/qemu_migration.c | 1 + src/security/security_dac.c | 2 +- src/security/security_selinux.c | 4 +- src/security/virt-aa-helper.c | 2 +- src/storage/storage_backend.c | 30 +++--- src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c | 35 +++--- src/storage/storage_backend_gluster.c | 8 +- src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c | 8 +- src/storage/storage_driver.c | 2 +- src/util/virstoragefile.c | 138 +++++++++++++++++++++--- src/util/virstoragefile.h | 12 +++ tests/virstoragetest.c | 18 ++-- 22 files changed, 518 insertions(+), 132 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1

[libvirt] [PATCH tck 0/5] Misc. TCK cleanups
by Mike Latimer 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

While running TCK on qemu, lxc and xen, I've ran into a few issues worth fixing upstream. The patches in this series are mainly focused on fixing minor typos, or safeguarding against failures in non-qemu environments. Depending on how interested people are in running TCK with xen, I can provide a few additional patches.

[libvirt] Submit your Google Summer of Code project ideas and volunteer to mentor
by Stefan Hajnoczi 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Dear libvirt, KVM, and QEMU contributors, The Google Summer of Code season begins soon and it's time to collect our thoughts for mentoring students this summer working full-time on libvirt, KVM, and QEMU. What is GSoC? Google Summer of Code 2015 (GSoC) funds students to work on open source projects for 12 weeks over the summer. Open source organizations apply to participate and those accepted receive funding for one or more students. We now need to collect a list of project ideas on our wiki. We also need mentors to volunteer. http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 Project ideas Please post project ideas on the wiki page below. Project ideas should be suitable as a 12-week project that a student fluent in C/Python/etc can complete. No prior knowledge of QEMU/KVM/libvirt internals can be assumed. http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 Mentors Please add your name to project ideas you are willing to mentor. In order to mentor you must be an established contributor (regularly contribute patches). You must be willing to spend about 5 hours per week from May 25 to August 21. I have CCed the 8 most active committers since QEMU 2.1.0 as well as the previous libvirt and KVM mentors but everyone is invited. Official timeline: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc20145 Stefan
