[libvirt] Local qemu migration
by Marc-André Lureau 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hi, Attempting to migration from session to system qemu fails because of the following checks in qemuMigrationCookieXMLParse(): if (STREQ(mig->remoteHostname, mig->localHostname)) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("Attempt to migrate guest to the same host %s"), mig->remoteHostname); goto error; } .... if (memcmp(mig->remoteHostuuid, mig->localHostuuid, VIR_UUID_BUFLEN) == 0) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("Attempt to migrate guest to the same host %s"), tmp); goto error; Is there a technical limitation for this error? If not, could it be overriden with an additional flag? cheers -- Marc-André Lureau

[libvirt] [PATCH] remote: Fix memory leak in remoteConnectGetAllDomainStats
by Peter Krempa 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

The remote call actually doesn't free the arguments array so we leak memory in case a domain list is specified. As the remote domain list array consists only of stolen pointers from the actual domain objects it's sufficient just to free the array. Valgrind message: ==1081452== 64 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 632 of 726 ==1081452== at 0x4C296D0: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:618) ==1081452== by 0x4EA5CB4: virAllocN (viralloc.c:191) ==1081452== by 0x505D21E: remoteConnectGetAllDomainStats (remote_driver.c:7785) ==1081452== by 0x50081AA: virDomainListGetStats (libvirt-domain.c:11080) ==1081452== by 0x155249: cmdDomstats (virsh-domain-monitor.c:2147) ==1081452== by 0x12FB73: vshCommandRun (virsh.c:1935) ==1081452== by 0x133FEB: main (virsh.c:3719) --- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/src/remote/remote_driver.c b/src/remote/remote_driver.c index 65c04d9..d111e10 100644 --- a/src/remote/remote_driver.c +++ b/src/remote/remote_driver.c @@ -7846,6 +7846,7 @@ remoteConnectGetAllDomainStats(virConnectPtr conn, VIR_FREE(elem); } virDomainStatsRecordListFree(tmpret); + VIR_FREE(args.doms.doms_val); xdr_free((xdrproc_t)xdr_remote_connect_get_all_domain_stats_ret, (char *) &ret); -- 2.1.0

[libvirt] [sandbox PATCH 0/2] v1.1 bugfix: support dhcp network interfaces
by Gene Czarcinski 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Resubmitted to add "sandbox PATCH" to Subject v1.1 adds some documentation changes. Support for a network such as -N dhcp,source=default was not working in that dhclient was not being started. Although I am not sure what the real problem is, the solution is to use g_spawn_sync() instead of g_spawn_async() to start /sbin/dhclient. The second patch addes "-v" to the dhclient arguments to improve debugging info. The dhclient into will be in /var/log/messages the Secure Contrainer host system and not in the container itself. Gene Czarcinski (2): v1.1 for dhclient use g_spawn_sync() v1.1 add -v to dhclient parameter arguments libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c | 8 +++----- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3

[libvirt] [v5][Patch 0/4] Libvirt CPU enhancements for Power KVM
by Prerna Saxena 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

This patch series is a collection of enhancements for PowerPC CPUs on PowerKVM. In this iteration, I have followed Dan's suggestion on using existing cpu mode format to describe powerPC compatibility mode. Hope this can finally make it for 1.2.10 ! Series Summary: ========== Patch 1/4 : Introduce a new architecture 'ppc64le' for libvirt. Patch 2/4 : Add libvirt support for VMs running in 'compat' mode on Power KVM. Patch 3/4 : Improve PVR handling to fall back to cpu generation. Patch 4/4 : Add documentation describing compat mode usage for PowerPC guests. Detail: ==== * PowerPC has traditionally been a Big-endian architecture. However, with PowerPC ISA version 2.07, it can run in Little-endian mode as well. IBM Power8 processors, compliant with ISA 2.07 allow launching VMs in little-endian mode. This is signified by 'ppc64le' architecture. Patch 1 adds this support to libvirt, to allow running VMs based on ppc64le architecture. * Patch 2,3 tweak libvirt to correctly model PowerPC CPUs based on recent PowerKVM implementation. PowerKVM permits VMs with vcpus in the following allowed modes : i) Host native mode: where the vcpu seen in the VM belongs to the same processor generation as the host. Example: A POWER7 host, conforming to PowerISA version 2.06, will run VMs with "power7" vcpus. ii) Binary Compatibility ("compat") mode: PowerISA allows processors to run VMs in binary compatibility ("compat") mode supporting an older version of ISA. As an example: In compatibility mode, a POWER7 host can run a "power6" VM, conforming to power ISA v2.05. Similarly, a POWER8 host can run a "power7" VM conforming to PowerISA v2.06. QEMU has recently added support to explicitly denote a VM running in compatibility mode through commits 6d9412ea & 8dfa3a5e85. Henceforth, VMs of type (i) will be invoked with the QEMU invocation "-cpu host", while VMs of type (ii) will be invoked using "-cpu host, compat=power6". Now, an explicit cpu selection using "-cpu POWER6" is not valid. Instead, the recommended practice is to use the matching compat mode, if the requested cpu type differs from the host. Patches 2-3 address various aspects of this change. * Patch 2 : Adds support for generating the correct command line for QEMU. Existing xml semantics of 'host-model' are interpreted differently on PowerPc architecture to signify this type. * Patch 3 : PowerKVM vCPUs differ uniquely across generations ( such as power6, power7, power8). Each generation signifies a new PowerISA version that exhibits features unique to that generation. The higher order 16 bits of PVR denote the processor generation and the lower order 16 bits denote the cpu chip (sub)version. For all practical purposes of launching a VM, we care about the generation the vCPU will belong to, and not specifically the chip version. In fact, PowerKVM does not seek out specification of a unique chip version(such as POWER7_v2.3) for running a vCPU. This patch updates the libvirt PVR check to reflect this relationship. * Patch 4 : Documentation is added to explain functionality introduced by Patch 2. Changelog: ========= v1 : https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-June/msg01338.html v2 : http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-October/msg00351.html v3 : http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg104010.html v4: http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg104067.html Changes since v4: ================ * Patches 1,3 already ack'ed by Michal, and have been posted unchanged. * In Patch 2,Discarded fallback=compat, and implemented Dan's suggestion to overload cpu mode "host-model". Now, on PowerPc, a VM with this XML schema will automatically be a compat-mode VM: <cpu mode='host-model'> <model>power7</model> </cpu> * Introduced a new patch '4' to add documentation that explains this.

Seems to be some sort of problem between libvirt and qemu-kvm. Regards Matias
