[libvirt-users] [virtual interface] detach interface during boot succeed with no changes
by Yalan Zhang 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Hi guys, when I detach an interface from vm during boot (vm boot not finished), it always fail. I'm not sure if there is an existing bug. I have confirmed with someone that for disk, there is similar behavior, if this is also acceptable? # virsh destroy rhel7.2; virsh start rhel7.2 ;sleep 2; virsh detach-interface rhel7.2 network 52:54:00:98:c4:a0; sleep 2; virsh dumpxml rhel7.2 |grep /interface -B9 Domain rhel7.2 destroyed Domain rhel7.2 started Interface detached successfully <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:98:c4:a0'/> <source network='default' bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='rtl8139'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> When I detach after the vm boot, expand the sleep time to 10, it will succeed. # virsh destroy rhel7.2; virsh start rhel7.2 ;sleep 10; virsh detach-interface rhel7.2 network 52:54:00:98:c4:a0; sleep 2; virsh dumpxml rhel7.2 |grep /interface -B9 Domain rhel7.2 destroyed Domain rhel7.2 started Interface detached successfully ------- Best Regards, Yalan Zhang IRC: yalzhang Internal phone: 8389413

QEMU args generation order with libvirt
by M, Shivakumar 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Hello, We are trying to bring up the Android VM with Libvirt, as part of this exercise it is advised to keep Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) device as the first virtio device in the QEMU arg list, as the secure storage daemon in Andriod side communicates with dev/vport0p1 for RPMB usage. Is there any way we can make a qemu commands generation in particular order with Libvirt XML ? Thanks, Shivakumar M

networking question
by Natxo Asenjo 26 Feb '22

26 Feb '22

hi, I have an issue with one host at a customer's site. I think this cannot work, but I would like to ask you just in case I am confused. host: eno1: 172.20.10.x/24 management interface gw 172.20.10.254 bridge-service: 0.0.0.0/24 tun0: openvpn tunnel to external data center internal-bridge: x.x.x.x/28 ; routed subnet that goes to openvpn tun0 on vm: eth0: x.x.x.x/28 on internal-bridge (default gw) eth1: 172.20.10.x/24 bridge-service gw 172.20.10.254 (same as eno1) Connectivity to and from openvpn (from and to datacenter) is perfect. All vms are directly reachable from our management services, no natting. >From hypervisor I can ping the gw, from vm I cannot ping 172.20.10.254. My gut feeling is that this cannot work because traffic for the hypervisor for subnet 172.20.10.x/24 flows through eno1, but for vm through the bridge-loggin interface. So that cannot work. Should we just ask the customer to give us different subnets for the host and the vm? TIA. -- regards, Natxo

random but often VMs' - BUG: soft lockup
by lejeczek 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Hi guys I see this often(perhaps once a day) on VMs: ... watchdog: BUG: soft -lockup - CPU#1 stuck for xxXXxxs! [swapper/1:0] At the moment I cannot say I see a pattern - perhaps not spotted one yet - and this can happen to any VM between any one of the three hosts, which hosts are CentOS 9 on AMD Ryzen 5600G hardware. VMs are mostly CentOS 8 but a few Ubuntus too. Anybody would know what that might be, is, a symptom of? But most importantly how to dig in to troubleshoot this?(when this happen then such affected VM I can only hard reset) many thanks, L.

Hugepages -- "Memory backend 'pc.ram' not found"

21 Feb '22

Hello, After defining hugepages, as documented at https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#memory-backing , when I start the guest, I get a dialogue box that says: Error starting domain: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2022-02-20T01:10:36.520955Z qemu-system-x86_64: Memory backend 'pc.ram' not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 101, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 57, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/domain.py", line 1329, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1353, in create raise libvirtError('virDomainCreate() failed' After backing out changes, guest starts normally. I searched online for the error message, but found nothing useful. The hypervisor is running libvirtd (libvirt) 7.8.0 and QEMU emulator version 6.1.0, both build from source. I've got plenty of hugepages available. The domain's XML definition is attached. Any ideas where to look next? Thanks, -- Charles Polisher

libvirt-python for alpine linux

Hi everybody, Is there a libvirt-python package for alpine linux? I'm looking to containerize an app that uses libvirt-python, using alpine linux, but all I found that looked similar to libvirt-python was py-libvirt ( https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.3/main/x86/py-libvirt) and it looks pretty old.

SSH VM from outside, but not from host
by Wolf 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hi! 1) I have two network ports on my server. - eno1 has the IP: XX1.XX1.XX1.150 - bridge0 has the IP: XX2.XX2.XX2.100 and has the interface member: port eno2. eno2 is not set up with an IP address. 2) The host runs on IP: XX1.XX1.XX1.150 3) A VM uses the bridge: bridge0, and has the IP: XX2.XX2.XX2.100 I have a problem with this setup: I can ssh the VM on XX2.XX2.XX2.100 from outside, but from the host, XX1.XX1.XX1.150, I can't ssh the VM on XX2.XX2.XX2.100. Have I set up this wrong or is it something I can do to solve this? Thanks! Wolf

Public IP on virtual machine network issue
by Marcin Groszek 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

I have been struggling with this for weeks and I was unable to find an answer on line. Perhaps someone here can help me. Oracle linux 8 running virtualization: hardware node has a public IP address on interface bridge0 and physical eno1 is a member of the bridge0 a virtual OS has interface bridged to lan and source is bridge0, Ip address of virtual OS is also a public from same class as the hardware node. I can route in and out of virtual, I can ping from hardware node to virtual and vice versa, so the routing works as it should, sort of. When I try tracepath or traceroute from outside to virtual I get !H on last hup same result when I try to do the same form hardware node to virtual I get !H Also, when I telnet (TCP) to a specific port on virtual where I have a daemon LISTENING OR NOT I get: No route to host. Same experiment works just fine for ssh port. Firewalld is not running, and I just have very basic iptables rules like allowing external address block to ssh to hardware node and to virtual dropping connections from all other sources This issue presented it self when I attempted to setup a galera node on virtual and ports 4567 is responding but 4568 and 4444 are not, but the daemons are running and I can clearly see lsoft showing "LISTENING" I capture the traffic and the tcp as well as udp are getting to the virtual. Is there a preconfigured netfiltering that I am not aware of? What am I missing? -- Best Regards: Marcin Groszek Business Voip Resource. http://www.voipplus.net

libvirtd daemon missing in LFS

Hi, I am Sai Kiran. I am trying to build libvirt from source on my Linux From Scratch(LFS) system. I have successfully installed libvirt and its dependencies. When I start virt-manager, there is a prompt in GUI saying that "libvirtd service is not installed". I also do not see any libvirtd in my system. I would like to install the libvirtd service(build from source). But I am not able to find the source code for it and also, I am not sure about the build process for the daemon. Could you please help me out here. Thanks in advance for your time and support. -- Regards, Sai Kiran.

qemu+ssh connections to a remote libvirt fail as ssh banner configured
by Yalan Zhang 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Hi there, I have a system configured with ssh login banner like as below: # cat ~/.bashrc ... echo "=================================================================================" echo "====== This machine is occupied by xxx for testing now. If you are about to use it, contact xxx first ======" echo "=================================================================================" It works as expected that whenever someone logs into this system by ssh, he/she will see this warning message. But it seems such settings will impact a virsh client connection with ssh, when I try to connect the libvirt daemon on this system, it will error out : # virsh -c qemu+ssh://${my_host}/system list --all root@${my_host}'s password: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: packet 1027423545 bytes received from server too large, want 33554432 I have searched and found some related explanations[1], and [2] says "The virsh man page doesn't mention ssh, so it sounds like the file /usr/share/doc/libvirt-doc/remote.html shipped with libvirt-doc could use a patch mentioning this." But I can not find anything about this currently on file:///usr/share/doc/libvirt-docs/html/remote.html. Could we have this documented for reference with all the possibilities? Thank you!

NVMe drive PCI passthrough and suprise hotplug
by Kalra, Ashish 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

[AMD Official Use Only] Hi, I am using Fedora 33, with the following KVM, qemu and libvirt versions: QEMU 5.1.0 libvirt 6.6.0 KVM 5.14.18 We have done pass-through of a PCIe NVMe device to the guest running on FC33 using either virt-manager or virsh and then we do the hot-unplug of the device while it is attached to the guest. The device is no longer seen on the guest hardware device list on virt-manager and then we hotplug the device again and we are able to use it on the Host, but when we try to re-attach it to the guest, we get the following error message: Requested operation is not valid, PCI device 0000:c4::00.0 is in use by driver QEMU, Domain fedora 33. So somehow libvirt still thinks the hot-unplugged device is attached. Tracing the flow of hot un-plug event from guest to host : ->Guest pcie hotplug support detected the NVMe driver unplug (from guest kernel logs): pciehp: Slot (0-6): Attention button pressed pciehp: Slot (0-6): Powering off due to to button press. -> Also looks like the guest notified Host/KVM (from host kernel logs): pcieport: 0000:c4:0000.0: pciehp: Slot (208): Card not present -> Correspondingly, vfio-pci module notified Qemu : vfio-pci: 0000:c4:0000.0: Relaying device request to user (#0) -> Then the un-plugged device reset is done. vfio-pci: vfio_bar_restore: reset recovery - restoring BARs pci 0000:c4:00.0: Removing from iommu group 105. -> Next tried to verify if libvirt detected the DELETED_DRIVE event from qemu. Running SystemTap script to capture events between qemu and libvirt : stap examples/systemtap/qemu-monitor.stp When the NVMe drive is attached to VM the following log output is seen from SystemTap: execute "device-add", driver: "vfio-pci", host: "0000:c4:00.0", id: "hostdev0", bus: "pci.7", addr: "0". When we hot-unplug the NVMe drive, the following log output is seen from SystemTap: event: DEVICE_DELETED, device: "hostdev0", path: "/machine/peripheral/hostdev0". So it looks like that qemu sent the "DEVICE_DELTED" event to libvirt, but libvirt has still not removed the attached device from its bookeeping list. I understand there is already a thread from 20202, discussing a similar issue : https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/libvirt-users/msg12590.html But I am not sure if there is any fix/support added for this recently. Looking for any feedback related to above and PCI device passthrough and hotplug support. Thanks, Ashish

udmabuf error with libvirt + QEMU

Hi, We are seeing an issue with udambuf, where it says "open /dev/udmabuf: No such file or directory " even if the device exits. This issue particularly we are seeing with libvirt. When we run the QEMU args on the command line, everything works as expected. It seems to be some permission issue when we use the Libvirt, please help us on resolving this.
