[libvirt-users] Preloading shared library with libVirt
by Probir Roy 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Hi, I am trying to preload two shared libraries while running Qemu using libvirt. To preload the shared libraries I have added an environment variable in the $domain.xml file with the following command: ``` virt-xml generic --edit --confirm --qemu-commandline 'env=LD_PRELOAD=/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/build_kvm/libperform.so:/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/dependencies/libmonitor/installDir/lib/libmonitor.so' ``` However, while running the domain, I get the following message of failure to preload the shared files in the log. ``` 2019-07-17 17:35:22.939+0000: starting up libvirt version: 1.3.1, package: 1ubuntu10.27 (Marc Deslauriers <marc.deslauriers(a)ubuntu.com> Tue, 02 Jul 2019 09:22:37 -0400), qemu version: 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.39), hostname: probir-XPS-13-9343 LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice LD_PRELOAD=/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/build_kvm/libperform.so:/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/dependencies/libmonitor/installDir/lib/libmonitor.so /usr/bin/kvm-spice -name generic -S -machine pc-i440fx-xenial,accel=kvm,usb=off -cpu Broadwell-noTSX-IBRS -m 4096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 8f755c9c-adf8-4baf-8d6a-947ebdf61ff8 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-generic/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet -no-shutdown -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot strict=on -device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x6 -device ich9-usb-uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x1 -device ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/generic.img,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0 -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,readonly=on -device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 -netdev tap,fd=26,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:82:62:ba,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,seamless-migration=on -device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vgamem_mb=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir0,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir0,id=redir0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir1,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir1,id=redir1 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -msg timestamp=on Domain id=9 is tainted: custom-argv ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/build_kvm/libperform.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Previously, I manually preloaded the same shared libraries for other application. Probir

[libvirt-users] filesharing file owner problem
by Vojto Ľach 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Hello, I'm having an issue with usage of libvirt driven qemu where I'm sharing directory with guest machine. virsh domain filesharing configuration: <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/> <source dir='/media/share'/> <target dir='data'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf : user = "root" group = "root" dynamic_ownership = 0 clear_emulator_capabilities = 0 even with this unsecure configuration I wasn't able to achieve that newly created files/dirs in guest machine have ownership of guest machine user but they are still created under root user id. Also strange is that group of those files/dirs are correct. Can somebody help me with this? Thank you. Vojtech

[libvirt-users] Question regarding using multiple physical functions inside a network pool.
by Mohamed, Faris 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

Hello, I was planning on adding multiple physical functions using the built in SR-IOV features offered by libvirt to a create a bigger pool of virtual functions using the <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> heading (I want to be able to use more virtual machines then there are virtual functions available on an ethernet port). As soon as I try to define multiple physical functions in a pool, I get this error: error: Failed to define network from biggernetwork.xml error: XML error: Only one <pf> element is allowed in <forward> of network bigger network when using this command: sudo virsh net-define biggernetwork.xml on the following XML document: <network> <name>bigger network</name> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <pf dev='eth5'/> <pf dev='eth7'/> </forward> </network> It seems that you are not able to add multiple physical functions to this network to create a pool of more virtual functions. Is there anyway that you can do this using that I am missing? I seem to be looking at the documentation and there seems to be nothing related to this. I think this would be extremely useful and would make automate adding virtual functions to virtual machines much easier to manage.

The error message is produced if the target format is not 'raw' but the above command clearly supplies it. I'd suggest you collect debug logs while trying both and attach them here. Unfortunately I don't see what could be wrong here.

[libvirt-users] UDP broadcasts vs. nat Masquerading issue
by Nikolai Zhubr 06 Jul '19

06 Jul '19

Hi all, I'm observing an issue that as soon as libvirt starts, UPD broadcasts going through physical network (and unrelated to any virtualization) get broken. Specifically, windows neighbourhood browsing through samba's nmbd starts suffering badly (Samba is running on this same box). At the moment I'm running a quite outdated version 1.2.9 of libvirt, but other than this issue, it does its job pretty well, so I'd first consider some patching/backporting rather than totally replacing it with a new one. Anyway, I first need to better understand what is going on and what is wrong with it. This could also be related somewhat to https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg01311.html but I suppose it is not exactly that thing. I've already figured the source of trouble is anyway related to these rules added: -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING -o enp0s25 -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING -o virbr2_nic -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING -o vnet0 -j MASQUERADE Here, virbr2_nic and vnet0 are used by libvirt for arranging network configurations for VMs, ok. However, br0 is a main interface of this host with primary ip address, with enp0s25 being a physical nic of this host, and it is used for all sorts of regular (unrelated to virtualization) communications. Also, br0 is used for attaching bridged (as opposed to NATed) VMs managed by libvirt. Clearly, libvirt somehow chooses to set up masquerading for literally all existing network interfaces here (except lo), but I can't see a real reason for the first two rules in the list above. Furthermore, they corrupt UDP broadcats coming from outside and reaching this host (through enp0s25/br0) such that source address gets replaced by this hosts primary address (as per masquerading). I've verified this by arranging a hand-crafted UDP listener and printing the respective source addresses as seen by normal userspace. Now I've discovered that I can "eliminate" the problem by either: 1. Removing "-A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE" (manually) 2. Inserting "-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 192.168.0.255/32 -j ACCEPT" (Of course correcting rules by hand is not a solution, just a test) So question is, how the correct rules should ideally look like? And, is this issue known/fixed in most current libvirt? Thank you, Regards, Nikolai

[libvirt-users] libvirt-python Create External Snapshot
by Roger Jin 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Hi Libvirt, Does libvirt-python currently support the creation of external snapshots? I ran domain.snapshotCreateXML(xml) where xml is <domainsnapshot> <name>snap1</name> <description>Snapshot of OS install and updates</description> <disks> <disk name='vda'> <source file='/home/potato/libvirt/backups/test-snap1.qcow2'/> </disk> </disks> </domainsnapshot> And got the following error: if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainSnapshotCreateXML() failed', dom=self) libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: disk 'vda' must use snapshot mode 'internal' Is this expected? Thanks! Sincerely, Roger Jin

[libvirt-users] Blockpull while domain is shutoff
by Roger Jin 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Hi Libvirt, Is there a command that performs the same operation as blockpull while a domain is shutoff? I have a backing chain base <-- A <-- B that I would like to shorten to base <-- B It seems like blockpull B, setting --base <path-to-base> does this, but only when the domain is running. Thanks! Sincerely, Roger Jin

Hi Libvirt, Does libvirt-python currently support adding a base path to virDomain.blockPull()? In particular, I would like to have the behavior of the following virsh command (from https://kashyapc.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/live-backup-with-external-disk-sn…) in libvirt-python: [image: image.png] Thanks!

[libvirt-users] macvtap vlan and tcp header overhead (and mtu size)
by Marc Roos 30 Jun '19

30 Jun '19

I have a host setup for libvirt kvm/qemu vms. And I wonder a bit about the overhead of the macvtap and how to configure the mtu's properly. To be able to communicate with the host, I have moved the ip address of the host from the adapter to a macvtap to allow host communication. I have the below setup on hosts. +---------+ | macvtap0| +--| ip | | | mtu1500 | | +---------+ +---------+ | +---------+ |eth0.v100| | | macvtap1| +--| no ip +-+--| ip | +---------+ | | mtu1500 | | mtu1500 | | eth0 | | +---------+ +---------+ | +--+ | mtu9000 | | +---------+ +---------+ | |eth0.v101| +--| ip | | mtu9000 | +---------+ https://pastebin.com/9jJrMCTD I can do a ping -M do -s 9000 between hosts via the vlan interface eth0.v101. That is as expected. The ping -M do -s 1500 macvtap0 and another host or macvtap1 fails. The maximum size that does not fragment is 1472. That is 28 bytes??? Where have they gone? I am only using macvtap, can this be the combination of the parent interface being a vlan and that macvtap is not properly handling this? Anyone experienced something similar? Or can explain where these 28 bytes go?
