[libvirt] libvirt: how to set PV-on-HVM drivers??
by zcs 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi friend. I have a problem about using libvirt now. There is a feather about HVM driver ---PV_on_HVM_drivers, in xm configure, using flag xen_platform_pci can control the feather, but in libvirt I can not find the flags to use pv-on-HVM drivers. So I want to find the answer if the libvirt can control the modules using xml file? thanks a lot. best regards. zhong.chunshan http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Linux_PV_on_HVM_drivers

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/5] Introduce API for dumping domain IP addresses
by Michal Privoznik 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

This feature has been requested for a very long time. However, we had to wait for guest agent to obtain reliable results as user might create totally different structure of interfaces than seen from outside (e.g. bonding, virtual interfaces, etc.). That's the main reason why sniffing for domain traffic can return bogus results. Fortunately, qemu guest agent implement requested part for a while so nothing holds us back anymore. To make matters worse, guest OS can assign whatever name to an interface and changing MAC inside guest isn't propagated to the host which in the end see original one. Therefore, finding correlation between interface within guest and the host side end is left as exercise for mgmt applications. This API is called virDomainGetInterfacesAddresses (okay, maybe too many plurals) and returns a XML document containing all interesting data. diff to v1: -switch from struct to XML doc Michal Privoznik (5): Introduce virDomainGetInterfacesAddresses API virsh: Expose virDomainGetInterfacesAddresses qemu_agent: Implement 'guest-network-get-interfaces' command handling qemu: Implement virDomainInterfacesAddresses python: create example for dumping domain IP addresses docs/schemas/interfaces.rng | 57 +++++++++++++++++ examples/python/Makefile.am | 2 +- examples/python/README | 1 + examples/python/domipaddrs.py | 62 +++++++++++++++++++ include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 2 + src/driver.h | 4 + src/libvirt.c | 49 +++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_public.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_agent.c | 135 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_agent.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 68 +++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_driver.c | 1 + src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 12 +++- src/remote_protocol-structs | 8 +++ tools/virsh.c | 41 ++++++++++++ tools/virsh.pod | 9 +++ 16 files changed, 452 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/schemas/interfaces.rng create mode 100644 examples/python/domipaddrs.py -- 1.7.8.5

[libvirt] [Patch v2 0/3] Add QEMU network helper support
by rmarwah＠linux.vnet.ibm.com 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

From: Richa Marwaha <rmarwah(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> QEMU has a new feature which allows QEMU to execute under an unprivileged user ID and still be able to add a tap device to a Linux network bridge. Below is the link to the QEMU patches for the bridge helper feature: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-01/msg03562.html The existing libvirt tap network device support for adding a tap device to a bridge (-netdev tap) works only when connected to a libvirtd instance running as the privileged system account 'root'. When connected to a libvirtd instance running as an unprivileged user (ie. using the session URI) creation of the tap device fails as follows: error: Failed to start domain F14_64 error: Unable to create tap device vnet%d: Operation not permitted With this support, creating a tap device in the above scenario will be possible. Additionally, hot attaching a tap device to a bridge while running when connected to a libvirtd instance running as an unprivileged user will be possible.

[libvirt] [QEMU PATCH 0/3] versioned CPU models / per-machine-type aliases
by Eduardo Habkost 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, This is the first try at a simple system to make the CPU model definitions versioned (to allow them to get bug fixes while allowing migration from older versions and keeping command-line compatibility), and per- machine-type aliases for compatibility. The lack of CPU model versioning is blocking multiple bug fixes that are necessary on CPU model definitions, but can't be included today because they would break migration. Later, after this gets in (or at least gets some feedback), I plan to send a proposal for a machine-friendly CPU feature / CPU model probing interface that libvirt could use.

[libvirt] Question about pci-passthrough
by Shradha Shah 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hello All, I had a question about pci-passthrough using hostdev mode in Libvirt. When I assign hostdev->parent.type = VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_NET, the hostdev is passed into the guest and acts as a network device. When I assign hostdev->parent.type = VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_NONE, the hostdev is passed into the guest and acts as a PCI Host device. Please can someone point me to the part of code in libvirt where this decision is made based on hostdev->parent.type? -- Many Thanks, Regards, Shradha Shah

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/3] conf: Format numatune XML correctly while placement is none
