[libvirt] [RFC] secrets API, was Re: [PATCH 0/9] Add support for (qcow*) volume encryption
by Miloslav Trmac 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hello, based on your comments, here is a proposal for a "secret management" API. Rather than add explicit accessors for attributes of secrets, and hard-code the "secrets are related to storage volumes" association in the API, the proposed uses XML to manipulate the association as well as other attributes, like it is used in other areas of libvirt. The user would allocate an ID for the secret using virSecretAllocateID(), set attributes of the secret using XML, e.g. <secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'> <volume>/var/lib/libvirt/images/mail.img</volume> <description>LUKS passphrase for the main hard drive of our mail server</description> </secret> Then, the secret value can be either generated and stored by libvirt, or supplied by the user using virSecretSetValue(). A simple API is provided for enumeration of all secrets. Very large deployments manage secret IDs automatically, so it probably is not necessary to provide specialized lookup functions (e.g. allowing the volume key -> secret ID lookup in less than O(number of secrets)). The <encryption> element used in volume and domain specifications remains, but it never contains any secrets directly, only something like <secret type='passphrase' secret_id='c1f11a6d-8c5d-4a3e-ac7a-4e171c5e0d4a' /> More detailed documentation is in the patch. Does that look OK? Thank you, Mirek

No such transport is currently implemented AFAICS, and just using TLS is much simpler - it is already implemented, and gives you authentication of both sides almost for free. Why would such a messaging service be necessary for the client<->libvirtd connection, but not the libvirtd<->key server connection? > Taking your diagram, I think I would generalize it still further > to allow for mgmt server to be optional separate from key server, > and to introduce a "message bus" between MGMT server & libvirt. > Really pushing the limits of ASCII art... > > MGMT client > | > V > MGMT server <---> Key server > | ^ > V | > message bus | > | | > V | > libvirt daemon <----/ > | > V > QEMU This makes sense if you do not want to store any secrets locally at the node at any cost, but the strong coupling of the libvirtd daemon and the key server is a significant disadvantage: not only would the key server and libvirtd both have to implement the same protocol for transferring secrets, but the MGMT server, key server and libvirtd would all have to share the same concept of "identity" and the same method of authentication - and the MGMT server would have to manipulate the libvirt accounts on the key server. There are a few products that offer a company-wide key server, but there AFAIK is no standardized protocol for transferring the secrets yet (the KMIP committee was formed only a few months ago), and not even a proposal for any account management on the key server. We don't know what the industry standard will look like - or whether there will be any; right now, any key server used in connection with libvirt-managed nodes would have to implement a libvirt-specified interface (in addition to any interface it may provide to other clients). It is much simpler to use the already implemented libvirt remote interface, and give the MGMT server implementors a free hand in deciding which key server, if any, they will use, and to avoid the non-trivial effort of specifying the specialized libvirtd<->key server protocol and implementing both ends of it. If secrets related to auto-start domains are stored locally on the node, all secrets needed by libvirtd will be anticipated by the MGMT server, who can provide them before starting the operation. This makes the libvirtd->key server connection unnecessary. The API proposal that will follow adds a secret management interface to libvirtd. The API allows libvirtd to use a persistent local secret store, as well as an external key server as described above. In addition, it also allows a "fully managed" mode, where the storage and provision of secrets is the responsibility of the MGMT server. This is accomplished by giving each secret two attributes: "private", which prohibits libvirtd from divulging the secret to any client (this was done in the previous implementation in XML, but now that secrets are out-of-bound, making secrets private does not break any round-trip XML editing), and "ephemeral", which prohibits libvirt from storing the secret persistently. The MGMT server would send the necessary secrets before any operation that needs them, and delete them from the node when they are no longer necessary. Looking at your use cases: > - A node can only see secrets for VMs it is configured to run Same in "fully managed" mode. > - MGMT server does not need to ever see the secrets itself. It > merely controls access for which nodes can see them, and can > request generation of new secrets The MGMT server needs to see the secrets in "fully managed mode". The MGMT server can actually see them even if libvirtd talks to the key server directly, because the key server is allowed to manipulate permissions of the secrets and it can give itself the permission to read them. The MGMT server can also delete any interface, or boot a "rescue image" that copies the plaintext out of the virtual machine. The MGMT server must be trusted in any case. > - Messages between the MGMT server & libvirtd do not need to > be encrypted, since they don't include secrets I can't see why this is useful - the connection will use TLS anyway. > - Other users who authenticate to libvirt on a node cannot > move a VM to an unauthorized node, since it can't see secrets Same in "fully managed" mode. > - VM save memory images (which include the fully XML) do not ever > expose the secrets.

[libvirt] PATCH: Implement vCPU cpuTime + cpu fields for QEMU

[libvirt] [PATCH] Canonicalize qemu machine types
by Mark McLoughlin 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

In qemu-0.11 there is a 'pc-0.10' machine type which allows you to run guests with a machine which is compatible with the pc machine in qemu-0.10 - e.g. using the original PCI class for virtio-blk and virtio-console and disabling MSI support in virtio-net. The idea here is that we don't want to surprise guests by changing the hardware when qemu is updated. I've just posted some patches for qemu-0.11 which allows libvirt to canonicalize the 'pc' machine alias to the latest machine version. This patches makes us use that so that when a guest is configured to use the 'pc' machine type, we resolve that to 'pc-0.11' machine and save that in the guest XML.

(Starts booting after I press c on /dev/pts/1 or remove the -S option from the command line) Libvirt configuration file: <domain type='kvm'> <name>vm1_storage</name> <uuid>29bfac01-b24d-e4ab-e741-f33f7e880d9d</uuid> <memory>4096000</memory> <currentMemory>4096000</currentMemory> <vcpu>6</vcpu> <os> <type>hvm</type> <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64</kernel> <initrd>/boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-amd64</initrd> <cmdline>"root=UUID=98d6d3d7-3782-4f6b-a94f-bc0272c0289d ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"</cmdline> </os> <features> <acpi/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <source dev='/dev/vm_lvm/vm01_storage_root'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/> <target dev='tap0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> </devices> </domain> KVM command line that I see in ps after running virsh define /etc/libvirt/qemu/vm1_storage.xml virsh start vm1_storage (Works fine after I remove the -S option or press 'c' on quemu monitor on /dev/pts/1): /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 4000 -smp 6 -name vm1_storage -uuid 29bfac01-b24d-e4ab-e741-f33f7e880d9d -nographic -monitor pty -boot c -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64 -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-amd64 -append "root=UUID=98d6d3d7-3782-4f6b-a94f-bc0272c0289d ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" -drive file=/dev/vm_lvm/vm01_storage_root,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56,vlan=0 -net tap,ifname=tap0,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm1_storage.log shows: LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/ /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 4000 -smp 6 -name vm1_storage -uuid 29bfac01-b24d-e4ab-e741-f33f7e880d9d -nographic -monitor pty -boot c -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64 -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-amd64 -append "root=UUID=98d6d3d7-3782-4f6b-a94f-bc0272c0289d ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" -drive file=/dev/vm_lvm/vm01_storage_root,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56,vlan=0 -net tap,ifname=tap0,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 char device redirected to /dev/pts/2 qemu: loading initrd (0x76055b bytes) at 0x000000007f89f000 Versions in use: kvm 85+dfsg-4 libvirt0 0.6.5-2 libvirt-bin 0.6.5-2 linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64 Thanks for any ideas.
