[libvirt] [PATCH v6 0/2] turn on active commit
by Eric Blake 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

v5 was here, and got tentative ACKs: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-July/msg01414.html the only change is some reordering of logic in patch 2/2 (the former 4/4) to make sure that even for a super-fast commit where the event d occurs before the API call regains the lock that the event is correct. I'm still unsure whether to count this as a bug fix to a partial new feature and include it in 1.2.7, or defer it to 1.2.8. If we want it in this release, then getting it in before rc2 would be the nicest.

[libvirt] [RFC] Adding a "none" model for video cards
by Jean-Baptiste Rouault 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi, I'm trying to run vexpress-a9 virtual machines (armv7l architecture) using libvirt. The vexpress-a9 doesn't support vga cards, but libvirt adds a video "cirrus" video card when there is a "graphics" element in the domain xml. This prevents the domain from booting. At the moment, the only workaround I found is to add the following to my xml file : <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-vga'/> <qemu:arg value='none'/> </qemu:commandline> What do you think about adding a "none" model type for video cards ? I know it is a bit strange to declare a video card in order to have none... I don't know the QEMU driver well, but maybe this could be handled by the driver ? i.e. "no VGA card when the machine is vexpress-a9".

[libvirt] [PATCH] Domain config: write <features/> if some capabilities are set.

[libvirt] [RFC] Memory hotplug for qemu guests and the relevant XML parts
by Peter Krempa 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi, qemu recently added support for memory hotplug (hot unplug will arrive later) since commit ~ bef3492d1169a54c966cecd0e0b1dd25e9341582 in qemu.git. For the hotplug to work the VM needs to be started with a certain number of "dimm" slots for plugging virtual memory modules. The memory of the VM at startup has to occupy at least one of the slots. Later on the management can decide to plug more memory to the guest by inserting a virtual memory module into the guest. For representing this in libvirt I'm thinking of using the <devices> section of our domain XML where we'd add a new device type: <memory type="ram"> <source .../>  <target .../>  <address type="acpi-dimm" slot="1"/> </memory> type="ram" to denote that we are adding RAM memory. This will allow possible extensions for example to add a generic pflash (type="flash", type="rom") device or other memory type mapped in the address space. To enable this infrastructure qemu needs two command line options supplied, one setting the maximum amount of supportable memory and the second one the maximum number of memory modules (capped at 256 due to ACPI). The current XML format for specifying memory looks like this: <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> I'm thinking of adding following attributes to the memory element: <memory slots='16' max-memory='1' max-memory-unit='TiB'/> This would then be updated to the actual size after summing sizes of the memory modules to: <memory slots='16' max-memory='1' max-memory-unit='TiB'/> unit='MiB'>512</memory> This would also allow a possibility to specify the line above and libvirt would then add a memory module holding the whole guest memory. Representing the memory module as a device will then allow us to use the existing hot(un)plug APIs to do the operations on the actual VM. For the ram memory type the source and target elements will allow to specify the following option. For backing the guest with normal memory: <source type="ram" size="500" unit="MiB" host-node="2"/> For hugepage-backed guest: <source type="hugepage" page-size="2048" count="1024" node="1"/> Note: node attribute target's host numa node and is optional. And possibly others possibly for the rom/flash types: <source type="file" path="/asdf"/> For targetting the RAM module the target element could have the following format: <target model="dimm" node='2' address='0xdeadbeef'/> "node" determines the guest numa node to connect the memory "module" to. The attribute is optional for non-numa guests or node 0 is assumed. "address" determines the address in the guest's memory space where the memory will be mapped. This is optional and not recommended being set by the user (except for special cases). For expansion the model="pflash" device may be added. For migration the target VM needs to be started with the hotplugged modules already specified on the command line, which is in line how we treat devices currently. My suggestion above contrasts with the approach Michal and Martin took when adding the numa and hugepage backing capabilities as they describe a node while this describes the memory device beneath it. I think those two approaches can co-exist whilst being mutually-exclusive. Simply when using memory hotplug, the memory will need to be specified using the memory modules. Non-hotplug guests could use the approach defined originally. That concludes my thoughts on this subject, but I'm open for discussion or other approach (I didn't start implementation yet). Thanks Peter

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] (for 1.2.7) network: Bring netdevs online later
by Matthew Rosato 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

The following patchset introduces code to defer setting netdevs online (and therefore registering MACs) until right before beginning guest CPU execution. The first patch introduces some infrastructure changes in preparation of the actual function added in the 2nd patch. Associated BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081461 Changes since RFC: * Add a separate patch to introduce a flags field for macvlan/macvtap creation. * Use macvlan/tap IFUP flags to skip virNetDevSetOnline (for qemu only). * Add hotplug support. * For macvlan, save the current virNetDevVPortProfileOp in virDomainNetDef during qemuPhysIfaceConnect. As Laine mentioned, could use this field in a future patch to eliminate passing virNetDevVPortProfileOp everywhere. * Add qemu_interface.c and qemu_interface.h to encapsulate new functions.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: error out if PCI passthrough type is not supported
by Hu Tao 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

If PCI passthrough type is not supported, we should error out rather than continue building the command line. When starting a domain, the type has been already checked by qemuPrepareHostdevPCICheckSupport() before building qemu command line, so the problem doesn't emerge. But when coverting a domain xml without specifying passthrough type explictly to qemu arg, we will get a malformed command line. the xml: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <source> <address domain='0x0001' bus='0x03' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> the converted command line: -device ,host=0001:03:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 After this patch, virsh gives an error message: virsh domxml-to-native qemu-argv /tmp/tmp.xml error: internal error: invalid PCI passthrough type 'default' Signed-off-by: Hu Tao <hutao(a)cn.fujitsu.com> --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 7f9357c..12d6354 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -4880,7 +4880,7 @@ qemuBuildPCIHostdevDevStr(virDomainDefPtr def, virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("invalid PCI passthrough type '%s'"), virDomainHostdevSubsysPCIBackendTypeToString(backend)); - break; + goto error; } virBufferAddLit(&buf, ",host="); -- 1.8.0
