what a correct use for virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny API, how to Obtain a stable expected result
by thomas.kuang 15 Apr '20

HI, everyone: My target deal with network hotplug use virDomainDetachDeviceFlags. Because when the API return ,the network maybe doesn’t remove from my vm guest os. So I use virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny to register an event ID: VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED , my process as follow: cb_para->call_id=virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(cb_para->conn,cb_para->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); above code write in thread loop ,then in the same loop : while (1) { mission = vnf_mission_queue_get(task); if (mission == NULL) { sleep(1); continue; } vnf_op_process(&mission->info); // this will deal with network hotplug,will call virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny then call virDomainDetachDeviceFlags if (mission) { vnf_mission_free(mission); } if(virEventRunDefaultImpl() < 0) { // at here process the registered callback for event-registered printf();.... } } My problem is: some time , the virEventRunDefaultImpl can trigger the vnf_control_del_network_cb callback ,but some time there is nothing ,as if the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED has lost. what cause the Unpredictable behavior ? what is a correct use for virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny ? if can't trigger the vnf_control_del_network_cb callback , the memory :cb_para will mem-leak, so in order to deal the execpt ,i register a timer to process the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED timeout cb_para->timer_id = virEventAddTimeout(cb_para->time_out, vnf_control_del_network_timeout_cb, cb_para, vnf_control_del_network_cb_free); thought use the timer ,can i avoid the cb_para mem-leak, but fail to achive hotplug network .

Connections Driver VirtualBox
by claudia freitas 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Good Morning! My name is Cláudia, I'm trying to use the Connections to VirtualBox driver from libvirt.org on Pacemaker to start a virtual machine created with the VirtualBox hypervisor, so far I haven't been successful. Could you send me a practical example of how to use the driver with the VirtualDomain feature in Pacemaker? The examples I found only demonstrate the use with Xen and Qemu. Thanks,

cloud-init libvirt
by PunkGeek 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

is there any way to use cloud-init configs in python libvirt? cloud-init require to create an iso, which seems that ovirt support cloud-config: https://red.ht/2K1gBkn But how can I do that by python libvirt? I know I can mount iso by python libvirt to the VM, but the process of creating iso file is the problem which if it is possible to enter the cloud-config commands by libvirt could be better to me. Regards

PolKit rule and API matchaccess_drivers = [ "polkit" ]
by Θεοφάνης Κοντογιάννης 08 Apr '20

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

when virEventAddTimeout trigger timeout ,should in the callback call virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny ?

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; }
