[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: better error message when block job can't succeed
by Eric Blake 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140981 reports that the qemu-kvm shipped as part of RHEL 7.0 intentionally cripples block jobs by removing the 'block-stream' QMP command, but that our probe for whether block jobs work was merely whether 'block-job-cancel' exists. Meanwhile, older qemu spelled the two commands block_stream and block_job_cancel. We know of no qemu build that has block-stream while lacking block-job-cancel, so it is easiest to change our witness to the command that starts a job rather than ends one. On RHEL, this results in changing the message from an ugly: error: Requested operation is not valid: Command 'block-stream' is not found to a nicer: error: unsupported configuration: block jobs not supported with this qemu binary * src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h (QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKJOB_SYNC): Tweak comment. * src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (virQEMUCapsCommands): Look for stream rather than cancel when determining the flavor of block jobs supported.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/3] Resolve libvirtd crash matching scsi_host
by John Ferlan 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146837 Rewrite the v1 patch to take a different method to attack the problem. Expose the getHostNumber from scsi check/startup/refresh in the form of virGetSCSIHostNumber. Additionally, expose part of the getAdapterName code in the form of virGetSCSIHostNameByParentaddr. Then use the two functions to determine whether the incoming def matches any of the defined pool defs. v1 is here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-September/msg01746.html John Ferlan (3): virutil: Introduce virGetSCSIHostNumber virutil: Introduce virGetSCSIHostNameByParentaddr storage_conf: Resolve libvirtd crash matching scsi_host src/conf/storage_conf.c | 69 ++++++++++++++---------- src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/storage/storage_backend_scsi.c | 59 ++++----------------- src/util/virutil.c | 106 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virutil.h | 10 ++++ 5 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3

[libvirt] [PowerPC PATCH 0/3 v4] Libvirt CPU enhancements for Power KVM
by Prerna Saxena 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

This patch series is a collection of enhancements for PowerPC CPUs on PowerKVM. Series Summary: ========== Patch 1/3 : Introduce a new architecture 'ppc64le' for libvirt. Patch 2/3 : Add libvirt support for VMs running in 'compat' mode on Power KVM. Patch 3/3 : Improve PVR handling to fall back to cpu generation. 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. New xml semantics are introduced to signify this type. Corresponding documentation is also added. * 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. 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 Changes since v3: i) Added documentation for describing 'compat' mode to formatdomain.html.in ( Thanks for pointing this out, Michal ) ii) Minor corrections ( Indentation fix; Added check for PPC64LE in virDomainVideoDefaultType ) Regards, -- Prerna Saxena Linux Technology Centre, IBM Systems and Technology Lab, Bangalore, India

As I've pushed 5892944f I haven't noticed one small nitpick. There was this backslash missing on the line 1231 in the enumeration of libraries to be added to vbox storage driver.
