In the XML file we now have
<cputune>
<shares>1024</shares>
<period>90000</period>
<quota>0</quota>
</cputune>
But the schedinfo parameter are being named
cpu_shares: 1024
cfs_period: 90000
cfs_quota: 0
The period/quota is per-vcpu value, so these new tunables should be named
'vcpu_period' and 'vcpu_quota'.
We had a bit too many elements crammed in there. Separate it into different
headings:
- CPU Allocation (<vcpus>)
- CPU Tuning (<cputune>)
- Memory allocation (<memory> and <currentMemory>)
- Memory backing (<memoryBacking>)
- Memory tuning (<memtune>)
- Numa tuning (<numatune>)
- Block I/O tuning (<blkiotune>)
This patch adds the Python bindings for virDomainGetVcpuPinInfo API.
* python/generator.py: add it to generator skip list
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml: provide an override description
* python/libvirt-override.c: provide an override binding implementation
This patch adds the Python bindings for virDomainPinVcpuFlags API.
* python/generator.py: add it to the generator skip list
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml: provide override description
* python/libvirt-override.c: provide override bindings implementation
This patch adds the Python bindings for
virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags API.
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml: provide and override description
* python/libvirt-override.c: implement the bindings
These functions parse given XML node and return pointer to the
output. Unknown elements are silently ignored. Attributes must
be integer and must fit in unsigned long long.
Free function frees elements of virBandwidth structure.
Define new 'bandwidth' element with possible child element 'inbound'
and 'outbound' addressing incoming and outgoing traffic respectively:
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
<outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>
Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.
The units for average and peak (rate) are in kilobytes per second,
for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.
The new listenNetwork attribute needs to learn an IP address based on a
named network. This patch provides a function networkGetNetworkAddress
which provides that.
Some networks have an IP address explicitly in their configuration
(ie, those with a forward type of "none", "route", or "nat"). For
those, we can just return the IP address from the config.
The rest will have a physical device associated with them (either via
<bridge name='...'/>, <forward ... dev='...'/>, or possibly via a pool
of interfaces inside the network's <forward> element) and we will need
to ask the kernel for a current IP address of that device (via the
newly added ifaceGetIPAddress)
If networkGetNetworkAddress encounters an error while trying to learn
the address for a network, it will return -1. In the case that libvirt
has been compiled without the network driver, the call is a macro
which reduces to -2. This allows differentiating between a failure of
the network driver, and its complete absence.
This function uses ioctl(SIOCGIFADDR), which limits it to returning
the first IPv4 address of an interface, but that's what we want right
now (the place we're going to use the address only accepts one).
Even though gnutls is a hard-req for libvirt, and gnutls depends
on libtasn1, that does not mean that you have to have the libtasn1
development files installed. Skip the test rather than failing
compilation in that case.
With newer gcc, the test consumed too much stack space. Move
things to static storage to fix that.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for libtasn1.h.
(HAVE_LIBTASN1): New automake conditional.
* tests/Makefile.am (virnettlsconvirnettlscontexttest_SOURCES)
(virnettlscontexttest_LDADD): Allow compilation without libtasn1.
* tests/virnettlscontexttest.c: Skip test if headers not present.
(struct testTLSCertReq): Alter time members.
(testTLSGenerateCert): Reflect the change.
(mymain): Reduce stack usage.
The sanlock plugin for libvirt expects the directory
/var/lib/libvirt/sanlock to exist. Create this and add
it to the RPM
* libvirt.spec.in: Add /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
* src/Makefile.am: Create /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
A container should not be allowed to modify stuff in /sys
or /proc/sys so make them readonly. Make /selinux readonly
so that containers think that selinux is disabled.
Honour the readonly flag when mounting container filesystems
from the guest XML config
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Support readonly mounts
Even in non-virtual root filesystem mode we should be mounting
more than just a new /proc. Refactor lxcContainerMountBasicFS
so that it does everything except for /dev and /dev/pts moving
that into lxcContainerMountDevFS. Pass in a source prefix
to lxcContainerMountBasicFS() so it can be used in both shared
root and private root modes.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Unify mounting code for special
filesystems
The bind mount setup is about to get more complicated.
To avoid having to deal with several copies, pull it
out into a separate lxcContainerMountFSBind method.
Also pull out the iteration over container filesystems,
so that it will be easier to drop in support for non-bind
mount filesystems
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Pull bind mount code out into
lxcContainerMountFSBind
This test case checks certification validation rules for
- Basic constraints
- Key purpose
- Key usage
- Start/expiry times
It checks initial context creation sanity checks, and live
session validation
When libvirtd starts it it will sanity check its own certs,
and before libvirt clients connect to a remote server they
will sanity check their own certs. This patch allows such
sanity checking to be skipped. There is no strong reason to
need to do this, other than to bypass possible libvirt bugs
in sanity checking, or for testing purposes.
libvirt.conf gains tls_no_sanity_certificate parameter to
go along with tls_no_verify_certificate. The remote driver
client URIs gain a no_sanity URI parameter
* daemon/test_libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.conf,
daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.aug: Add parameter to
allow cert sanity checks to be skipped
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Add no_sanity parameter to
skip cert checks
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c, src/rpc/virnettlscontext.h:
Add new parameter for skipping sanity checks independantly
of skipping session cert validation checks
Also prepend $(AM_V_GEN) to the command line, mark virkeycode-mapgen.py
as executable and switch the shebang line from /bin/python to the
commonly use /usr/bin/python.
All of the functions in util/interface.c were returning 0 on success,
but some returned -1 on error, and some returned a positive value
(usually the value of errno, but sometimes just 1). Libvirt's standard
is to return < 0 on error (in the case of functions that need to
return errno, -errno is returned.
This patch modifies all functions in interface.c to consistently
return < 0 on error, and makes changes to callers of those functions
where necessary.
There is some commonality between the code for sanity checking
certs when initializing libvirt and the code for validating
certs during a live TLS session handshake. This patchset splits
up the sanity checking function into several smaller functions
each doing a specific type of check. The cert validation code
is then updated to also call into these functions
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: Refactor cert validation code
The gnutls_certificate_type_set_priority method is deprecated.
Since we already set the default gnutls priority, it was not
serving any useful purpose and can be removed
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: Remove gnutls_certificate_type_set_priority
call
If the virStateInitialize call fails we must shutdown libvirtd
since drivers will not be available. Just free'ing the virNetServer
is not sufficient, we must send a SIGTERM to ourselves so that
we interrupt the event loop and trigger a orderly shutdown
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Kill ourselves if state init fails
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Add some debugging to event loop
When an operation started by virDomainBlockPull completes (either with
success or with failure), raise an event to indicate the final status.
This API allow users to avoid polling on virDomainGetBlockJobInfo if
they would prefer to use an event mechanism.
* daemon/remote.c: Dispatch events to client
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define event ID and callback signature
* src/conf/domain_event.c, src/conf/domain_event.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Extend API to handle the new event
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Connect to the QEMU monitor event
for block_stream completion and emit a libvirt block pull event
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Receive and dispatch events to application
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Wire protocol definition for the event
* src/remote_protocol-structs: structure definitions for protocol verification
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Watch for BLOCK_STREAM_COMPLETED event
from QEMU monitor
virDomainGetBlockJobInfo requires manual override since it returns a
custom type.
* python/generator.py: reenable bindings for this entry point
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml python/libvirt-override.c:
manual overrides
Define two new virsh commands:
* blockpull: Initiate a blockPull for the given disk
* blockjob: Retrieve progress info, modify speed, and cancel active block jobs
Share print_job_progress() with the migration code.
* tools/virsh.c: implement the new commands
The virDomainBlockPull* family of commands are enabled by the
following HMP/QMP commands: 'block_stream', 'block_job_cancel',
'info block-jobs' / 'query-block-jobs', and 'block_job_set_speed'.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.[ch]: implement disk
streaming by using the proper qemu monitor commands.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.[ch]: implement commands using the qmp monitor
The generator can handle everything except virDomainGetBlockJobInfo().
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: provide defines for the new entry points
* src/remote/remote_driver.c daemon/remote.c: implement the client and
server side for virDomainGetBlockJobInfo.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: structure definitions for protocol verification
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Permit some unsigned long parameters
Set up the types for the block pull functions and insert them into the
virDriver structure definition. Symbols are exported in this patch to
prevent
documentation compile failures.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h: add the new entry to the driver structure
* python/generator.py: fix compiler errors, the actual python bindings
* are
implemented later
* src/libvirt_public.syms: export symbols
* docs/apibuild.py: Extend 'unsigned long' parameter exception to this
* API
Now you can edit a saved state file even if you forgot to grab
a dumpxml file prior to saving a domain. Plus, in-place editing
feels so much nicer.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSaveImageDumpxml, cmdSaveImageDefine)
(cmdSaveImageEdit): New commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (save-image-dumpxml, save-image-define)
(save-image-edit): Document them.
Modifying the xml on either save or restore only gets you so
far - you have to remember to 'virsh dumpxml dom' just prior
to the 'virsh save' in order to have an xml file worth modifying
that won't be rejected due to abi breaks. To make this more
powerful, we need a way to grab the xml embedded within a state
file, and from there, it's not much harder to also support
modifying a state file in-place.
Also, virDomainGetXMLDesc didn't document its flags.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc)
(virDomainSaveImageDefineXML): New prototypes.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc)
(virDomainSaveImageDefineXML): New API.
* src/libvirt_public.syms: Export them.
* src/driver.h (virDrvDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc)
(virDrvDomainSaveImgeDefineXML): New driver callbacks.
libvirt-guests is a perfect use case for bypassing the file system
cache - lots of filesystem traffic done at system shutdown, where
caching is pointless, and startup, where reading large files only
once just gets in the way. Make this a configurable option in the
init script, but defaulting to existing behavior.
* tools/libvirt-guests.sysconf (BYPASS_CACHE): New variable.
* tools/libvirt-guests.init.sh (start, suspend_guest): Use it.
When auto-dumping a domain on crash events, or autostarting a domain
with managed save state, let the user configure whether to imply
the bypass cache flag.
* src/qemu/qemu.conf (auto_dump_bypass_cache, auto_start_bypass_cache):
Document new variables.
* src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug (vnc_entry): Let augeas parse them.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h (qemud_driver): Store new preferences.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemudLoadDriverConfig): Parse them.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (processWatchdogEvent, qemuAutostartDomain):
Honor them.
Wire together the previous patches to support file system cache
bypass during API save/restore requests in qemu.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSaveInternal, doCoreDump)
(qemudDomainObjStart, qemuDomainSaveImageOpen, qemuDomainObjRestore)
(qemuDomainObjStart): Add parameter.
(qemuDomainSaveFlags, qemuDomainManagedSave, qemudDomainCoreDump)
(processWatchdogEvent, qemudDomainStartWithFlags, qemuAutostartDomain)
(qemuDomainRestoreFlags): Update callers.
O_DIRECT has stringent requirements. Rather than make lots of changes
at each site that wants to use O_DIRECT, it is easier to offload
the work through a helper process that mirrors the I/O between a
pipe and the actual direct fd, so that the other end of the pipe
no longer has to worry about constraints.
Plus, if the kernel ever gains better posix_fadvise support, then we
only have to touch a single file to let all callers benefit from a
more efficient way to avoid file system caching.
* src/util/virfile.h (virFileDirectFdFlag, virFileDirectFdNew)
(virFileDirectFdClose, virFileDirectFdFree): New prototypes.
* src/util/virdirect.c: Implement new wrapper object.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virfile.h): Export new symbols.
* cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add to list.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add new translations.
Required for a coming patch where iohelper will operate on O_DIRECT
fds. There, the user-space memory must be aligned to file system
boundaries (at least 512, but using page-aligned works better, and
some file systems prefer 64k). Made tougher by the fact that
VIR_ALLOC won't work on void *, but posix_memalign won't work on
char * and isn't available everywhere.
This patch makes some simplifying assumptions - namely, output
to an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on an empty seekable
file (hence, no need to worry about preserving existing data
on a partial block, and ftruncate will work to undo the effects
of having to round up the size of the last block written), and
input from an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on a complete
seekable file with the only possible short read at EOF.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for posix_memalign.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Use aligned memory, and handle
quirks of O_DIRECT on last write.
Rather than making the iohelper subject to a race in reopening
the file, it is nicer to pass an already-open fd by inheritance.
The old synopsis form must continue to work - if someone updates
their libvirt package and installs a new libvirt_iohelper but
without restarting the old libvirtd daemon, then the daemon can
still make calls using the old syntax but the new iohelper.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Split code for open...
(prepare): ...to new function.
(usage): Update synopsis.
(main): Allow alternate calling form.
* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal): Use alternate form.
Also, migrate was missing documentation for the --xml option
added in commit ec5301cb.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdRestore): Add xml argument.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, restore, migrate): Document it.
Wire up the new flag to several virsh commands. Also, the
'dump' command had undocumented flags.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdManagedSave, cmdDump, cmdStart)
(cmdRestore): Add new flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, managedsave, dump, start, restore):
Document flags.
