I was hoping to see some error output from the syscall but the line that should contain it is empty: 2020-01-20 19:47:15.589+0000: 8579: debug : virBPFLoadProg:78 : Can you please check system logs and output of dmesg? I've managed to run into this article [1] that explains that even if you have all permissions and no SELinux you can still be blocked by something called kernel_lockdown and it should appear in dmesg.

Libvirt APIs for creating virtual networks
by Santhosh Kumar Gunturu 08 May '20

08 May '20

I am using the Libvirt APIs to create the virtual networks to use the dnsmasq capabilities. I want to understand the APIs how to set the lease time in XML to control the dnsmasq lease time. Also, I need some DHCP statistics on the virtual network. Is there any API available to fetch the statistics ? Please let me know if any ? Thanks & Regards Santhosh Kumar Gunturu

sync guest time
by Miguel Duarte de Mora Barroso 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hi, I'm seeing the following issue when attempting to update the guest's clock on a running fc32 guest (using guest agent): ``` [root@virt-launcher-vmi-masquerade-mh2xm /]# virsh domtime 1 --pretty Time: 2020-04-30 23:27:29 [root@virt-launcher-vmi-masquerade-mh2xm /]# virsh domtime 1 --sync error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU agent command 'guest-set-time': hwclock failed to set hardware clock to system time # now, this one works. [root@virt-launcher-vmi-masquerade-mh2xm /]# virsh domtime 1 --now [root@virt-launcher-vmi-masquerade-44v2x /]# virsh domtime 1 --pretty Time: 2020-04-30 11:15:45 ``` This is the simplest reproducer I could come with; the original issue is this call to libvirt's `setTIme` in [0]. Is there any workaround I could try ? Am I doing something wrong here ? [0] - https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/blob/6bb516148ce4c29825ae74f473e022075…

Ah, so you wanted to use 'virsh qemu-attach' to attach libvirt to a running qemu. Yeah, it needs a monitor.

1. I run a user domain like this: [root@kvm1 ~]# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1G -smp 4 /images/test1.img WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/images/test1.img' and probing guessed raw. Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted. Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

"failed to setup INTx fd: Operation not permitted" error when using PCI passthrough
by Riccardo Ravaioli 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hi, I'm on a Dell VEP 1405 running Debian 9.11 and I'm running a few tests with various interfaces given in PCI passthrough to a qemu/KVM Virtual Machine also running Debian 9.11. I noticed that only one of the four I350 network controllers can be used in PCI passthrough. The available interfaces are: *# dpdk-devbind.py --status Network devices using kernel driver ==============================* *===== 0000:02:00.0 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=eth2 drv=igb unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:02:00.1 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=eth3 drv=igb unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:02:00.2 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=eth0 drv=igb unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:02:00.3 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=eth1 drv=igb unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:04:00.0 'QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter 003c' if= drv=ath10k_pci unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:05:00.0 'Device 15c4' if=eth7 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:05:00.1 'Device 15c4' if=eth6 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:07:00.0 'Device 15e5' if=eth5 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_* *pci_generic 0000:07:00.1 'Device 15e5' if=eth4 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio,vfio-pci,uio_**pci_generic* If I try PCI passthrough on 02:00.2 (eth0), it works fine. With any of the remaining three interfaces, libvirt fails with this error: *# virsh create vnf.xml error: Failed to create domain from vnf.xml error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2020-04-06T16:08:47.048266Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.1,id=**hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: vfio 0000:02:00.1: failed to setup INTx fd: Operation not permitted* The contents of vnf.xml are available here: https://pastebin.com/rT3RmAi5 This is what happened in *dmesg* when I tried to start the VM: *[ 7305.371730] igb 0000:02:00.1: removed PHC on eth3 [ 7307.085618] ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.PEX2._PRT: Return Package has no elements (empty) (20160831/nsprepkg-130) [ 7307.085717] pcieport 0000:00:0b.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT B [ 7307.085719] vfio-pci 0000:02:00.1: PCI INT B: no GSI [ 7307.369611] igb 0000:02:00.1: enabling device (0400 -> 0402) [ 7307.369668] ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.PEX2._PRT: Return Package has no elements (empty) (20160831/nsprepkg-130) [ 7307.369764] pcieport 0000:00:0b.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT B [ 7307.369766] igb 0000:02:00.1: PCI INT B: no GSI [ 7307.426266] igb 0000:02:00.1: added PHC on eth3 [ 7307.426269] igb 0000:02:00.1: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection [ 7307.426271] igb 0000:02:00.1: eth3: (PCIe:5.0Gb/s:Width x2) 50:9a:4c:ee:9f:b1 [ 7307.426350] igb 0000:02:00.1: eth3: PBA No: 106300-000 [ 7307.426352] igb 0000:02:00.1: Using MSI-X interrupts. 4 rx queue(s), 4 tx queue(s)* These are all the messages related to that device in dmesg before I tried to start the VM: *# dmesg | grep 02:00.1 [ 0.185301] pci 0000:02:00.1: [8086:1521] type 00 class 0x020000 [ 0.185317] pci 0000:02:00.1: reg 0x10: [mem 0xdfd40000-0xdfd5ffff] [ 0.185334] pci 0000:02:00.1: reg 0x18: [io 0xd040-0xd05f] [ 0.185343] pci 0000:02:00.1: reg 0x1c: [mem 0xdfd88000-0xdfd8bfff] [ 0.185434] pci 0000:02:00.1: PME# supported from D0 D3hot D3cold [ 0.185464] pci 0000:02:00.1: reg 0x184: [mem 0xdeea0000-0xdeea3fff 64bit pref] [ 0.185467] pci 0000:02:00.1: VF(n) BAR0 space: [mem 0xdeea0000-0xdeebffff 64bit pref] (contains BAR0 for 8 VFs) [ 0.185486] pci 0000:02:00.1: reg 0x190: [mem 0xdee80000-0xdee83fff 64bit pref] [ 0.185488] pci 0000:02:00.1: VF(n) BAR3 space: [mem 0xdee80000-0xdee9ffff 64bit pref] (contains BAR3 for 8 VFs) [ 0.334021] DMAR: Hardware identity mapping for device 0000:02:00.1 [ 0.334463] iommu: Adding device 0000:02:00.1 to group 16 [ 0.398809] pci 0000:02:00.1: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt [ 2.588049] igb 0000:02:00.1: PCI INT B: not connected [ 2.643900] igb 0000:02:00.1: added PHC on eth1 [ 2.643903] igb 0000:02:00.1: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection [ 2.643905] igb 0000:02:00.1: eth1: (PCIe:5.0Gb/s:Width x2) 50:9a:4c:ee:9f:b1 [ 2.643984] igb 0000:02:00.1: eth1: PBA No: 106300-000 [ 2.643986] igb 0000:02:00.1: Using MSI-X interrupts. 4 rx queue(s), 4 tx queue(s) [ 2.873544] igb 0000:02:00.1 rename3: renamed from eth1 [ 2.939352] igb 0000:02:00.1 eth3: renamed from rename3* In particular this looks suspicious: *igb 0000:02:00.1: PCI INT B: not connected* The full dmesg is available here: https://pastebin.com/kPbUAKCi This is the PCI bus structure: *# lspci -tv -[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation Device 1980 +-04.0 Intel Corporation Device 19a1 +-05.0 Intel Corporation Device 19a2 +-06.0-[01]----00.0 Intel Corporation Device 19e2 +-0b.0-[02-03]--+-00.0 Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection | +-00.1 Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection | +-00.2 Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection | \-00.3 Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection +-0f.0-[04]----00.0 Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter +-12.0 Intel Corporation DNV SMBus Contoller -

Attaching DVD-writer
by Andreas Thörn 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

I want to add my dvd and be able to burn dvd’s. I’ve tried every solution I could find, but nothing works. In my xml i have: <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sr0'/> <target dev='sdb' bus='sata'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> In my guest (windows 10) it’s shown as "QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM” .. which of course means I can’t burn. If anyone has a solution it would be this mailing list Thanks Andreas

domain: how long is new xml in saved file
by Vincent Wu 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hi administrator, I am a cloud compute developer. I need some help from you about libvirt. I have a work to modify a image file which is saved by virDomainSave() or virDomainSaveFlags(). So virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageDefineXML() are APIs I choosed to do. Because I found a sentence: A save file can be inspected or modified slightly with virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageDefineXML(). But an error is happened when I do like that.  libvirt: QEMU Driver error: operation failed: new xml too large to fit in file. I found that if I increase strlen(xml_old) to strlen(xml_new). if (strlen(xml_new) - strlen(xml_old) <= 29) { this is right; } but if (strlen(xml_new) - strlen(xml_old) >= 50) { this is error; } But I don't choose to find an accurate number.  I think this value will be affected by some factors. For example: memory alignment, range safety or other rules. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +                                                           strlen(xml_old)                                                  +  free space  + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +                                                             strlen(xml_new)                                                                     + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I really want to know how long free space I can use. Can you convert slightly to a precise number? Thank you for taking so long to read my Email. Looking forward to your reply. ps: OS: CentOS7.4 libvirt: 4.5.0 hypervisor: KVM Sincerely,  Vincent Wu
