[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/5]use VIR_ENUM_DECL for domain NIC model and add usb-net
by Guannan Ren 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

v1 to v2 *removed i8* NIC models support for QEMU/KVM *updated docs This patchset uses VIR_ENUM_DECL and VIR_ENUM_IMPL macros for NIC models and changes the related codes to use them. All of NIC models supported by various hypervisors comprise the enum, so the problem is that we need to do further checking in hypervisor-specific implementation. Fortunately, VMX and Vbox did this checking very well already. In 4/5, a similar job is performed for QEMU/KVM. And, adds usb-net support. The vendorId and productID of is 0525:a4a2. The corresponding item in usb-ids is as follows: 0525 Netchip Technology, Inc. a4a2 Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget In my opinion, using usb-net directly is good enough, so I keep it. Any idea is welcome.

by Daniel Veillard 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Just for people to remember, the plan is to enter the freeze for 1.0.2 in a week, on the 24. So if you need to push APIs or large changes, please do so before that deadline :-) Then the release should show up at the end of the month, thanks !

Re: [libvirt] Redefinition of struct in6_addr in <netinet/in.h> and <linux/in6.h>

When GLIBC doesn't provide it's own definition of some networking macros or interfaces that the kernel provides, people include the kernel header. This has been done for decades, wake up.

The user application includes <linux/if_bridge.h> and <netinet/in.h>. <linux/if_bridge.h> uses struct_in6 but doesn't include <linux/in6.h> (this is my bad, sorry), an obvious fix is just including <linux/in6.h>. But this immediately breaks applications which include <linux/if_bridge.h> and <netinet/in.h>, just as what Thomas reported. And if_bridge.h is kernel-specific, there is no corresponding glibc one, so you can't blame applications which include both of them. Thanks.

[libvirt] iptables --physdev-out warnings
by Reinier Schoof 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, we've experienced some issues with starting lots of KVM based VM's with libvirt. Since I couldn't find any clues on the libvirt mailing list, I'm posting the way I fixed the issues. When starting a VM, /var/log/messages was spammed with the following message: xt_physdev: using --physdev-out in the OUTPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains for non-bridged traffic is not supported anymore. With each extra VM I start, the messages get amplified exponentially. This results in longer starting times every new VM, relative the the previously started VM. When I ran a test with starting 100 equal VM's, the first VM started in about 2 seconds, the 100th VM took 48 seconds to start. I'm running a vanilla 3.7.1 kernel, but I have the same issue on VM hosts with kernel 3.2.28 or 3.2.0, running libvirt 0.9.12 and 0.9.8 respectively. Looking into the warning, it seemed that iptables need an extra argument, --physdev-is-bridged, in commands like: iptables -A libvirt-out -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged --physdev-out vnet99 -g FP-vnet99 I patched the libvirt source (version 1.0.0) to test whether this works or not: --- src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c.orig 2013-01-16 10:51:43.000000000 +0100 +++ src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c 2013-01-16 10:52:07.000000000 +0100 @@ -166,7 +166,7 @@ snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%c%c-%s", prefix[0], prefix[1], ifname) #define PHYSDEV_IN "--physdev-in" -#define PHYSDEV_OUT "--physdev-out" +#define PHYSDEV_OUT "--physdev-is-bridged --physdev-out" static const char *m_state_out_str = "-m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED"; static const char *m_state_in_str = "-m state --state ESTABLISHED"; The warnings in /var/log/messages are gone and running the test again proved the 100th VM started in 3.8 seconds. It suprises me I'm the first to mention this problem on the libvirt mailing list and I wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Until then, this fix helps me a lot!

By being ignorant and having such a simplistic view of the situation, you're the one who's actually the dick.
