Hi All, I am trying to implement the following use case. User sfrag is logged on the host via ssh. Running 'virsh list --all' should trigger PolKit authentication and present ALL domains suffixed with -SF I have used and adapted the example from: libvirt.org Git - libvirt.git/blob - examples/polkit/libvirt-acl.rules | | | | | | | | | | | libvirt.org Git - libvirt.git/blob - examples/polkit/libvirt-acl.rules | | | Adapted the setup so that I included user sfrag. Always the user was asked to authenticate via root and not via SELF but ONLY if running "virsh -c qemu:///system list --all" Had to change /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf to include: auth_unix_ro = "polkit"access_drivers = [ "polkit" ]log_filters="1:access.accessdriverpolkit"log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" All polkit rules for user sfrag was removed at this point. Now the user sfrag running 'virsh list --all' gives no output to /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log or /var/log/secure. Running the same as user root gives interesting results in the logs: org.libvirt.api.connect.getattrorg.libvirt.api.connect.search-domainsorg.libvirt.api.domain.getattr (fore every defined domain)org.libvirt.api.domain.read (again for every defined domain). Virsh is using qemu:///session as the default URI. Why running virsh as non-root is not triggering polkit or any API calls (based on log files output) and running the same as root, gives all the interesting output? Which implies that running virsh as root results in different actions compaired to calling it as non root. Thank you for Your time. BR Theophanis Kontogiannis

Getting Intel RDT cache allocation status from libvirt?
by Neil Moore 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Is there a way to get the current cache allocation status of a host from libvirt, via API or virsh? I've seen some references to a 'virsh nodecachestats' command in some patches from 2017 that doesn't seem to exist, and I see that 'virsh domstats --cpu-total <domain>' has similar information but seems to be focused on cache monitoring information rather than the allocation status. Thanks, Neil

why virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny can't alway trigger the callback ,how can i get a stable callback ?
by thomas.kuang 07 Apr '20

hi, all: I create a vm with six nic, after the vm start, i delete tree nics. all the three nic delete logic will happen in a thread , every nic delete has the following process: int vnf_control_del_network(void *arg) { 。。。。。 call_id = virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(conn, dom, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(vnf_control_del_network_cb), cb_para, vnf_control_del_network_cb_free); flags |= VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG; if (virDomainIsActive(dom) == 1) { flags |= VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE; } ret = virDomainDetachDeviceFlags(dom, xml, flags); // detach a nic from vm guest os 。。。。 } void vnf_control_del_network_cb(virConnectPtr conn, virDomainPtr dom, const char *dev,void * opaque) //this callback can't already trigger to run ，why ? { struct vnf_del_netwk_opaque * arg = (struct vnf_del_netwk_opaque *)opaque; ........ do someing; if(0 == virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny(conn, arg->call_id)) printf("succ to deRegister, conn:%p, call id:%d\n", conn, arg->call_id); else printf("fail to deRegister, conn:%p, call id:%d\n", conn, arg->call_id) } void* vnf_worker_proc(void *arg) { vnf_mission_t *mission = NULL; pthread_t tid = pthread_self(); vnf_task_ctx_t *task = vnf_task_get_task_info(tid); assert(task); pthread_detach(tid); while (1) { mission = vnf_mission_queue_get(task); if (mission == NULL) { sleep(1); continue; } VNF_IMAGE_DBG("tid:%lu, get one mission from mission queue\n", tid); vnf_op_process(&mission->info); //this cause vnf_control_del_network called if (mission) { vnf_mission_free(mission); } if(virEventRunDefaultImpl() < 0) { VNF_IMAGE_DBG("virEventRunDefaultImpl() called failure\n"); } } return NULL; }

libvirt remote uri format
by Joe Muro 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Hi, I am using python libvirt api to get domain information. When using a uri without specifying the socket path, an error occurs. uri = "qemu+ssh://myuser@some.kvm.host/system" conn = libvirt.open(uri) This results in the following: libvirt: XML-RPC error : internal error: received hangup event on socket If I append the socket path to the URI, it works. e.g. qemu+ssh://myuser@some.kvm.host/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock Is this the recommended way to construct an ssh uri? My concern is that the socket path may be different when connecting to different libvirt hosts. remote host is ubuntu 20.04 running libvirtd (libvirt) 6.0.0 under systemd - Joe

can libvirt.so use jemalloc to manage mem ?
by thomas.kuang 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

HI, all My daemon exists a libvirt API call: virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(); once I called the virEventRegisterDefaultImpl() ,must be core ,the bt stack is: (gdb) bt #0 free (ptr=0x1) at include/jemalloc/internal/arena.h:652 #1 0x00007f57690a488a in virFree () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #2 0x00007f57690c3562 in virResetError () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #3 0x00007f57690c49ad in virEventRegisterDefaultImpl () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #4 0x00000000004029ad in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at vnf_mgt/vnf_control.c:2920 (gdb) quit the following code copy from libvirt/src/util / int virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(void) { VIR_DEBUG("registering default event implementation"); virResetLastError(); if (virEventPollInit() < 0) { virDispatchError(NULL); return -1; } virEventRegisterImpl(virEventPollAddHandle, virEventPollUpdateHandle, virEventPollRemoveHandle, virEventPollAddTimeout, virEventPollUpdateTimeout, virEventPollRemoveTimeout); return 0; } void virResetLastError(void) { virErrorPtr err = virLastErrorObject(); if (err) virResetError(err); } static virErrorPtr virLastErrorObject(void) { virErrorPtr err; err = virThreadLocalGet(&virLastErr); if (!err) { if (VIR_ALLOC_QUIET(err) < 0) return NULL; if (virThreadLocalSet(&virLastErr, err) < 0) VIR_FREE(err); } return err; } void virResetError(virErrorPtr err) { if (err == NULL) return; VIR_FREE(err->message); VIR_FREE(err->str1); VIR_FREE(err->str2); VIR_FREE(err->str3); memset(err, 0, sizeof(virError)); } # define VIR_FREE(ptr) virFree(1 ? (void *) &(ptr) : (ptr)) void virFree(void *ptrptr) { int save_errno = errno; free(*(void**)ptrptr); *(void**)ptrptr = NULL; errno = save_errno; } when my daemon link with jemalloc must core，but if i use glibc to manage memory ,then it work fine, why ?
