[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Interface Config public APIs and remote stubs
by Laine Stump 13 May '09

13 May '09

These 5 patches contain the public virInterface*() API definition, the local plumbing, and the RPC glue. The test driver and real driver are still TBI, but having this in will allow other people to work on related stuff. Other things still needed: python/java bindings cli commands in virsh I'm sure lots of other things I don't know about yet. Note that I have added a couple things to the API that I previously didn't realize were needed (virInterfaceRef and virInterfaceFree - I had figured the client side would just pass around a cookie, not actually have storage associated with it).

The error handling refactor we did in virsh a few months back, accidentally means we never report the real libvirt error message for the initial connection attempt.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/7] virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom API
by Cole Robinson 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi all, The following patches implement a new API call: virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom. virStorageVolPtr virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom(virStoragePoolPtr pool, const char *xmldesc, unsigned int flags, virStorageVolPtr clonevol) Arguments function similar to the regular volume create API, except the parameter 'clonevol' is used as the input source. The API allows for volume cloning, possibly across pools, or within the same pool but converting volume formats. Tests I performed (and ensured that a VM booted without complaints from the new image): Raw -> Raw (with successful sparse detection) Raw -> QCOW2 QCOW2 -> Raw QCOW2 -> QCOW2 QCOW2 -> VMDK Raw partition ('disk' volume) -> Raw file Thanks, Cole Cole Robinson (7): Add public API stubs for virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom Remote driver plumbing for virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom Test driver implementation of virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom Virsh commands vol-clone and vol-create-from Storage driver implementation for CreateXMLFrom Break out FS volume build routines to their own functions.

When refreshing a file based pool, errors hit when determining a volume's format were being squashed, reporting OOM instead. The attached patch fixes the error reporting here. Reported by Jason Guiditta. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] PATCH: Another attempt to fix vbox driver open
by Daniel P. Berrange 12 May '09

12 May '09

The patches we just applied for the VirtualBox open method still were not quite right. It would return VIR_DRV_OPEN_DECLINED when uri==NULL, but before doing so it would have set conn->uri to vbox:///session. So even though it declined the connection, all the later drivers would now ignore it. Also, it now returns DECLINED for some real errors that should be reported to the user. Here's an alternative idea I've had for trying to address this. Some goals: - If the user gives a URI with a vbox:/// prefix, we should always handle it, unless a 'server' is set when we leave it to the remote driver - If an invalid path is given we must give back a real error code - If after deciding the URI is for us, any initialization fails we must raise an error. - If the vbox glue layer is missing, we should still raise errors for requested URIs, so user knows their URI is correct. To do this, I've taken the approach of registering a dummy vbox driver if the glue layer is missing. This just parses the URI and always returns an error for any vbox:// URIs that would otherwise work Daniel Index: src/vbox/vbox_driver.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/src/vbox/vbox_driver.c,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -u -p -r1.2 vbox_driver.c --- src/vbox/vbox_driver.c 6 May 2009 13:51:19 -0000 1.2 +++ src/vbox/vbox_driver.c 8 May 2009 16:35:57 -0000 @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ #include "logging.h" #include "vbox_driver.h" #include "vbox_XPCOMCGlue.h" +#include "virterror_internal.h" #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_VBOX @@ -43,15 +44,25 @@ extern virDriver vbox22Driver; extern virDriver vbox25Driver; #endif +static virDriver vboxDriverDummy; + +#define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_VBOX + +#define vboxError(conn, code, fmt...) \ + virReportErrorHelper(conn, VIR_FROM_VBOX, code, __FILE__, \ + __FUNCTION__, __LINE__, fmt) int vboxRegister(void) { virDriverPtr driver; uint32_t uVersion; - /* vboxRegister() shouldn't fail as that will render libvirt unless. - * So, we use the v2.2 driver as a fallback/dummy. + /* + * If the glue layer won' initialize, we register a driver + * with a dummy open method, so we can report nicer errors + * if the user requests a vbox:// URI which we know won't + * ever work */ - driver = &vbox22Driver; + driver = &vboxDriverDummy; /* Init the glue and get the API version. */ if (VBoxCGlueInit() == 0) { @@ -79,7 +90,7 @@ int vboxRegister(void) { } } else { - DEBUG0("VBoxCGlueInit failed"); + DEBUG0("VBoxCGlueInit failed, using dummy driver"); } if (virRegisterDriver(driver) < 0) @@ -87,3 +98,46 @@ int vboxRegister(void) { return 0; } + +static virDrvOpenStatus vboxOpenDummy(virConnectPtr conn, + virConnectAuthPtr auth ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, + int flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) { + uid_t uid = getuid(); + + if (conn->uri == NULL || + conn->uri->scheme == NULL || + STRNEQ (conn->uri->scheme, "vbox") || + conn->uri->server != NULL) + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_DECLINED; + + if (conn->uri->path == NULL || STREQ(conn->uri->path, "")) { + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("no VirtualBox drviver path specified (try vbox:///session)")); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; + } + + if (uid != 0) { + if (STRNEQ (conn->uri->path, "/session")) { + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("unknown driver path '%s' specified (try vbox:///session)"), conn->uri->path); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; + } + } else { /* root */ + if (STRNEQ (conn->uri->path, "/system") && + STRNEQ (conn->uri->path, "/session")) { + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("unknown driver path '%s' specified (try vbox:///system)"), conn->uri->path); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; + } + } + + vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API")); + return VIR_DRV_OPEN_ERROR; +} + +static virDriver vboxDriverDummy = { + VIR_DRV_VBOX, + "VBOX", + .open = vboxOpenDummy, +}; Index: src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -p -r1.5 vbox_tmpl.c --- src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c 8 May 2009 10:18:26 -0000 1.5 +++ src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c 8 May 2009 16:35:57 -0000 @@ -216,16 +216,6 @@ no_memory: } static int vboxInitialize(virConnectPtr conn, vboxGlobalData *data) { - - if (VBoxCGlueInit() != 0) { - vboxError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Can't Initialize VirtualBox, VBoxCGlueInit failed."); - goto cleanup; - } - - /* This is for when glue init failed and we're serving as dummy driver. */ - if (g_pfnGetFunctions == NULL) - goto cleanup; - /* Get the API table for out version, g_pVBoxFuncs is for the oldest version of the API that we support so we cannot use that. */ data->pFuncs = g_pfnGetFunctions(VBOX_XPCOMC_VERSION); @@ -291,13 +281,13 @@ static int vboxExtractVersion(virConnect } static void vboxUninitialize(vboxGlobalData *data) { + if (!data) + return; + if (data->pFuncs) data->pFuncs->pfnComUninitialize(); VBoxCGlueTerm(); - if (!data) - return; - virDomainObjListFree(&data->domains); virCapabilitiesFree(data->caps); VIR_FREE(data); @@ -306,52 +296,62 @@ static void vboxUninitialize(vboxGlobalD static virDrvOpenStatus vboxOpen(virConnectPtr conn, virConnectAuthPtr auth ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, int flags ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) { - vboxGlobalData *data; + vboxGlobalData *data = NULL; uid_t uid = getuid(); if (conn->uri == NULL) { conn->uri = xmlParseURI(uid ?

[libvirt] Java binding
by Zvi Dubitzky 12 May '09

12 May '09

Who is the contact for libvirt Java binding ? In a late mail I said that the Java binding crashes upon live migrate when the dname=null . It does not crash if dname = source domain name even though works slow. The C code of libvirt / libvirt.c /virDomainMigrate () says in its header that : "If a hypervisor supports renaming domains during migration, * then you may set the dname parameter to the new name (otherwise * it keeps the same name). If this is not supported by the * hypervisor, dname must be NULL or else you will get an error." So in the kvm case dname = NULL works for the C binding but not for the JAVA binding as it should . Any idea ? thanks Zvi Dubitzky Virtualization and System Architecture Email:dubi@il.ibm.com IBM Haifa Research Laboratory Phone: +972-4-8296182 Haifa, 31905, ISRAEL

[libvirt] PATCH: 0/4: Fix the event loop (again) no really, this time its fixed.
by Daniel P. Berrange 12 May '09

12 May '09

Back in March I attempted to fix the event loop handling of deleted file handles http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-March/msg00246.html but have merely succeeded in screwing it up in a different fun & exciting way. That patch fixed a case where there was a deleted file handle in the list at the time virEventRunOnce() starts. Which was nice. Not nice, though was that it then breaks the case where a file handle is deleted during the course of dispatching events afer poll(). Investigating this also identified that when we were marking a file handle as deleted, we were forgetting to run virEventInterrupt(), which meant that in some cases the main thread would not be woken up until the next event triggers. Not very critical, but at the same time, not good because it delays cleanup & release of resources. This series of patches fixes the problems, and more importantly, adds a unit test which cover these nasty edge cases.
