Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v3] qemu: Don't fail if the SCSI host device is shareable between domains

It doesn't make sense to fail if the SCSI host device is specified as "shareable" explicitly between domains (NB, it works if and only if the device is specified as "shareable" for *all* domains, otherwise it fails). To fix the problem, this patch introduces an array for virSCSIDevice struct, which records all the names of domain which are using the device (note that the recorded domains must specifiy the device as shareable). And the change on the data struct brings on many subsequent changes in the code. Since prior to this patch, the "shareable" tag didn't work as expected, it actually work like "non-shareable". If there was a live domain using the SCSI device with "shareable" specified, then after upgrading (assuming the live domain keep running during upgrading) the older libvirt (without this patch) to newer libvirt (with this patch), it may cause some confusion when user tries to start later domains as "shareable". So this patch also added notes in formatdomain.html to declare the fact. * src/util/virscsi.h: - Remove virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy - Change definition of virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy and virSCSIDeviceListDel - Add virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable * src/util/virscsi.c: - struct virSCSIDevice: Change "used_by" to be an array; Add "n_used_by" as the array count - virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy: Removed - virSCSIDeviceFree: frees the "used_by" array - virSCSIDeviceSetUsedBy: Copy the domain name to avoid potential memory corruption - virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable: New - virSCSIDeviceListDel: Change the logic, for device which is already in the list, just remove the corresponding entry in "used_by". And since it's only used in one place, we can safely removing the code to find out the dev in the list first. - Copyright updating * src/libvirt_private.sys: - virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy: Remove - virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable: New * src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c: - qemuUpdateActiveScsiHostdevs: Check if the device existing before adding it to the list; - qemuPrepareHostdevSCSIDevices: Error out if the not all domains use the device as "shareable"; Also don't try to add the device to the activeScsiHostdevs list if it already there; And make more sensible error w.r.t the current "shareable" value in driver->activeScsiHostdevs. - qemuDomainReAttachHostScsiDevices: Change the logic according to the changes on helpers. --- docs/formatdomain.html.in | 6 ++++ src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c | 77 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- src/util/virscsi.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++------ src/util/virscsi.h | 7 +++-- 5 files changed, 90 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.html.in b/docs/formatdomain.html.in index ff50214..18bfad1 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.html.in +++ b/docs/formatdomain.html.in @@ -2798,6 +2798,12 @@ between domains (assuming the hypervisor and OS support this).
