Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/3] qemu: Ignore libvirt logs when reading QEMU error output

When QEMU fails to start, libvirt read its error output and reports it back in an error message. However, when libvirtd is configured to log debug messages, one would get the following unhelpful garbage: virsh # start cd error: Failed to start domain cd error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: \ 2013-04-22 14:24:54.214+0000: 2194219: debug : virFileClose:72 : \ Closed fd 21 2013-04-22 14:24:54.214+0000: 2194219: debug : virFileClose:72 : \ Closed fd 27 2013-04-22 14:24:54.215+0000: 2194219: debug : virFileClose:72 : \ Closed fd 3 2013-04-22 14:24:54.215+0000: 2194220: debug : virExec:602 : Run \ hook 0x7feb8f600bf0 0x7feb86ef9300 2013-04-22 14:24:54.215+0000: 2194220: debug : qemuProcessHook:2507 \ : Obtaining domain lock 2013-04-22 14:24:54.216+0000: 2194220: debug : \ virDomainLockProcessStart:170 : plugin=0x7feb780261f0 \ dom=0x7feb7802a360 paused=1 fd=0x7feb86ef8ec4 2013-04-22 14:24:54.216+0000: 2194220: debug : \ virDomainLockManagerNew:128 : plugin=0x7feb780261f0 \ dom=0x7feb7802a360 withResources=1 2013-04-22 14:24:54.216+0000: 2194220: debug : \ virLockManagerPluginGetDriver:297 : plugin=0x7feb780261f0 2013-04-22 14:24:54.216+0000: 2194220: debug : \ virLockManagerNew:321 : driver=0x7feb8ef08640 type=0 nparams=5 \ params=0x7feb86ef8d60 flags=0 2013-04-22 14:24:54.216+000 instead of (the output with this patch applied): virsh # start cd error: Reconnected to the hypervisor error: Failed to start domain cd error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: \ char device redirected to /dev/pts/33 (label charserial0) qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/home/vm/systemrescuecd-x86-1.2.0.\ iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw,cache=none: \ could not open disk image /home/vm/systemrescuecd-x86-1.2.0.iso: \ Permission denied --- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 20 ++++---------------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c index a1fbd5f..4988d9b 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c @@ -1665,21 +1665,6 @@ static void qemuProcessFreePtyPath(void *payload, const void *name ATTRIBUTE_UNU VIR_FREE(payload); } -static void -qemuProcessReadLogFD(int logfd, char *buf, int maxlen, int off) -{ - int ret; - char *tmpbuf = buf + off; - - ret = saferead(logfd, tmpbuf, maxlen - off - 1); - if (ret < 0) { - ret = 0; - } - - tmpbuf[ret] = '\0'; -} - - static int qemuProcessWaitForMonitor(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, virDomainObjPtr vm, @@ -1734,6 +1719,7 @@ cleanup: virHashFree(paths); if (pos != -1 && kill(vm->pid, 0) == -1 && errno == ESRCH) { + int len; /* VM is dead, any other error raised in the interim is probably * not as important as the qemu cmdline output */ if (virQEMUCapsUsedQMP(qemuCaps)) { @@ -1745,7 +1731,9 @@ cleanup: goto closelog; } } - qemuProcessReadLogFD(logfd, buf, buf_size, strlen(buf)); + + len = strlen(buf); + qemuProcessReadLog(logfd, buf + len, buf_size - len - 1, 0); virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("process exited while connecting to monitor: %s"), buf);
