We already use the '-nodefaults' command line arg with QEMU to stop
it adding any default devices to guests. Unfortunately, QEMU will
load global config files from /etc/qemu that may also add default
devices. These aren't blocked by '-nodefaults', so we need to also
add the '-nodefconfig' arg to prevent that.
Unfortunately these global config files are also used to define
custom CPU models. So in blocking global hardware device addition
we also block definitions of new CPU models. Libvirt doesn't know
about these custom CPU models though, so it would never make use
of them anyway. Thus blocking them via -nodefconfig isn't a show
stopping problem. We would need to expand libvirt's own CPU model
XML database to support these instead.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add '-nodefconfig' if available
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add '-nodefconfig' to all data files which
have '-nodefaults' present
Following Daniel Berrange's multiple helpful suggestions for improving
this patch and introducing another driver interface, I now wrote the
below patch where the nwfilter driver registers the functions to
instantiate and teardown the nwfilters with a function in
conf/domain_nwfilter.c called virDomainConfNWFilterRegister. Previous
helper functions that were called from qemu_driver.c and qemu_conf.c
were move into conf/domain_nwfilter.h with slight renaming done for
consistency. Those functions now call the function expored by
domain_nwfilter.c, which in turn call the functions of the new driver
interface, if available.
To ensure that the device addressing scheme is stable across
hotplug/unplug, all virtio serial channels needs to have an
associated port number in their address. This is then specified
to QEMU using the nr=NNN parameter
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Parsing
for port number in vioserial address types.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Set 'nr=NNN' parameter with virtio
serial port number
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: Expand
data set to ensure coverage of port addressing
This patch that adds support for configuring 802.1Qbg and 802.1Qbh
switches. The 802.1Qbh part has been successfully tested with real
hardware. The 802.1Qbg part has only been tested with a (dummy)
server that 'behaves' similarly to how we expect lldpad to 'behave'.
The following changes were made during the development of this patch:
- Merging Scott's v13-pre1 patch
- Fixing endptr related bug while using virStrToLong_ui() pointed out
by Jim Meyering
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments to v11
- requiring mac address to the vpDisassociateProfileId() function to
pass it further to the 802.1Qbg disassociate part (802.1Qbh untouched)
- determining pid of lldpad daemon by reading it from /var/run/libvirt.pid
(hardcode as is hardcode alson in lldpad sources)
- merging netlink send code for kernel target and user space target
(lldpad) using one function nlComm() to send the messages
- adding a select() after the sending and before the reading of the
netlink response in case lldpad doesn't respond and so we don't hang
- when reading the port status, in case of 802.1Qbg, no status may be
received while things are 'in progress' and only at the end a status
will be there.
- when reading the port status, use the given instanceId and vf to pick
the right IFLA_VF_PORT among those nested under IFLA_VF_PORTS.
- never sending nor parsing IFLA_PORT_SELF type of messages in the
802.1Qbg case
- iterating over the elements in a IFLA_VF_PORTS to pick the right
IFLA_VF_PORT by either IFLA_PORT_PROFILE and given profileId
(802.1Qbh) or IFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID and given instanceId (802.1Qbg)
and reading the current status in IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
- recycling a previous patch that adds functionality to interface.c to
- get the vlan identifier on an interface
- get the flags of an interface and some convenience function to
check whether an interface is 'up' or not (not currently used here)
- adding function to determine the root physical interface of an
interface. For example if a macvtap is linked to eth0.100, it will
find eth0. Also adding a function that finds the vlan on the 'way to
the root physical interface'
- conveying the root physical interface name and index in case of 802.1Qbg
- conveying mac address of macvlan device and vlan identifier in
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST[ IFLA_VF_INFO[ IFLA_VF_MAC(mac), IFLA_VF_VLAN(vlan) ] ]
to (future) lldpad via netlink
- To enable build with --without-macvtap rename the
[dis|]associatePortProfileId functions, prepend 'vp' before their
name and make them non-static functions.
- Renaming variable multicast to nltarget_kernel and inverting
the logic
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments; this also touches existing
code for example for correcting indentation of break statements or
simplification of switch statements.
- Renamed occurrencvirVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParamses
- 802.1Qbg part prepared for sending a RTM_SETLINK and getting
processing status back plus a subsequent RTM_GETLINK to
get IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
Note: This interface for 802.1Qbg may still change
- [David Allan] move getPhysfn inside IFLA_VF_PORT_MAX to avoid
compiler
warning when latest if_link.h isn't available
- move from Stefan's 802.1Qb{g|h} XML v8 to v9
- move hostuuid and vf index calcs to inside doPortProfileOp8021Qbh
- remove debug fprintfs
- use virGetHostUUID (thanks Stefan!)
- fix compile issue when latest if_link.h isn't available
- change poll timeout to 10s, at 1/8 intervals
- if polling times out, log msg and return -ETIMEDOUT
- Add Stefan's code for getPortProfileStatus
- Poll for up to 2 secs for port-profile status, at 1/8 sec intervals:
- if status indicates error, abort openMacvtapTap
- if status indicates success, exit polling
- if status is "in-progress" after 2 secs of polling, exit
polling loop silently, without error
My patch finishes out the 802.1Qbh parts, which Stefan had mostly complete.
I've tested using the recent kernel updates for VF_PORT netlink msgs and
enic for Cisco's 10G Ethernet NIC. I tested many VMs, each with several
direct interfaces, each configured with a port-profile per the XML. VM-to-VM,
and VM-to-external work as expected. VM-to-VM on same host (using same NIC)
works same as VM-to-VM where VMs are on diff hosts. I'm able to change
settings on the port-profile while the VM is running to change the virtual
port behaviour. For example, adjusting a QoS setting like rate limit. All
VMs with interfaces using that port-profile immediatly see the effect of the
change to the port-profile.
I don't have a SR-IOV device to test so source dev is a non-SR-IOV device,
but most of the code paths include support for specifing the source dev and
VF index. We'll need to complete this by discovering the PF given the VF
linkdev. Once we have the PF, we'll also have the VF index. All this info-
mation is available from sysfs.
Since the macvtap device needs active tear-down and the teardown logic
is based on the interface name, it can happen that if for example 1 out
of 3 interfaces was successfully created, that during the failure path
the macvtap's target device name is used to tear down an interface that
is doesn't own (owned by another VM).
So, in this patch, the target interface name is reset so that there is
no target interface name and the interface name is always cleared after
a tear down.
This allows libvirt to open the PCI device sysfs config file prior
to dropping privileges so qemu can access the full config space.
Without this, a de-privileged qemu can only access the first 64
bytes of config space.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Detect support
for pci-assign.configfd option. Use this option when formatting
PCI device string if possible
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Pre-open PCI sysfs config file and pass
to QEMU
This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
</virtualport>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
<parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.
Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
- removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
- indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
properly
- parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
parameter '0' for base
- tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
- adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
- added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
(802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
necessary to use (for SR-IOV)
Currently all host audio backends are disabled if a VM is using VNC, in
favor of the QEMU VNC audio extension. Unfortunately no released VNC
client supports this extension, so users have no way of getting audio
to work if using VNC.
Add a new config option in qemu.conf which allows changing libvirt's
behavior, but keep the default intact.

Adds ability to provide a preferred CPU model for CPUID data decoding.
Such model would be considered as the best possible model (if it's
supported by hypervisor) regardless on number of features which have to
be added or removed for describing required CPU.
So far, when CPUID data were converted into CPU model and features, the
features can only be added to the model. As a result, when a guest asked
for something like "qemu64,-svm" it would get a qemu32 plus a bunch of
additional features instead.
This patch adds support for removing feature from the base model.
Selection algorithm remains the same: the best CPU model is the model
which requires lowest number of features to be added/removed from it.
Qemu committed a patch which list some CPU names in [] when asked for
supported CPUs (qemu -cpu ?). Yet, it needs such CPUs to be passed
without those square braces. When probing for supported CPU models, we
can just strip the square braces and pretend we have never seen them.
Disk devices in QEMU have two parts, the guest device and the host
backend driver. Historically these two parts have had the same
"unique" name. With the switch to using -device though, they now
have separate names. Thus when changing CDROM media, for guests
using -device syntax, we need to prepend the QEMU_DRIVE_HOST_PREFIX
constant
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add helper function
qemuDeviceDriveHostAlias() for building a host backend alias
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Use qemuDeviceDriveHostAlias() to determine
the host backend alias for performing eject/change commands in the
monitor
The device_add command was added in JSON mode in a way I didn't
expect. Instead of passing the normal device string to the JSON
command:
{ "execute": "device_add", "arguments": { "device": "ne2k_pci,id=nic.1,netdev=net.1" } }
We need to split up the device string into a full JSON object
{ "execute": "device_add", "arguments": { "driver": "ne2k_pci", "id": "nic.1", "netdev": "net.1" } }
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Rename the
qemuCommandLineParseKeywords method to qemuParseKeywords
and export it to monitor
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Split up device string into
a JSON object for device_add command
Instead of reporting VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR use the more specific
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Report VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED for
unsupported video adapters
To avoid race-conditions, the tear down of a filter has to happen before
the tap interface disappears and another tap interface with the same
name can re-appear. This patch tries to fix this. In one place, where
communication with the qemu monitor may fail, I am only tearing the
filters down after knowing that the function did not fail.
I am also moving the tear down functions into an include file for other
drivers to reuse.
When qemu libvirt driver doesn't support guest CPU selection with given
qemu binary, guests requiring specific CPU should fail to start instead
of being silently supplied with a default CPU.
The clock timer XML is being updated in the following ways (based on
further off-list discussion that was missed during the initial
implementation):
1) 'wallclock' is changed to 'track', and the possible values are 'boot'
(corresponds to old 'host'), 'guest', and 'wall'.
2) 'mode' has an additional value 'smpsafe'
3) when tickpolicy='catchup', there can be an optional sub-element of
timer called 'catchup':
<catchup threshold=123 slew=120 limit=10000/>
Those three values are all longs, always optional, and if they are present,
they are positive. Internally, 0 indicates "unspecified".
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated RNG definition to account for changes
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: change the C struct and enums to match changes.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: timer parse and format functions changed to
handle the new selections and new element.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: *TimerWallclock* changes to *TimerTrack*
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: again, account for Wallclock --> Track change.
virStrToLong* guarantees (via strtol) that the end pointer will be set
to the point at which parsing stopped (even on failure, this point is
the start of the input string).
* src/esx/esx_driver.c (esxGetVersion): Remove pointless
conditional.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuParseCommandLinePCI)
(qemuParseCommandLineUSB, qemuParseCommandLineSmp): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c
(qemuMonitorTextGetMigrationStatus): Likewise.
Since the timers are defined to cover all possible config cases for
several different hypervisors, many of these possibilities generate an
error on qemu. Here is what is currently supported:
RTC: If the -rtc commandline option is available, allow setting
"clock=host"
or "clock=vm" based on the rtc timer clock='host|guest' value. Also
add "driftfix=slew" if the tickpolicy is 'catchup', or add nothing
if
tickpolicy is 'delay'. (Other tickpolicies will raise an error).
If -rtc isn't available, but -rtc-td-hack is, add that option
if the tickpolicy is 'catchup', add -rtc-td-hack, if it is 'delay'
add nothing, and if it's anything else, raise an error.
PIT: If -no-kvm-pit-reinjection is available, and tickpolicy is
'delay', add that option. if tickpolicy is 'catchup', do
nothing. Anything else --> raise an error.
If -no-kvm-pit-reinjection *isn't* available, but -tdf is, when
tickpolicy is 'catchup' add -tdf. If it's 'delay', do
nothing. Anything else --> raise an error.
If neither of those commandline options is available, and
tickpolicy is anything other than 'delay' (or unspecified), raise
an error.
HPET: If -no-hpet flag is available and present='no', add -no-hpet.
If -no-hpet is not available, and present='yes', raise an error.
If present is unspecified, the default is to do whatever this
particular qemu does by default, so don't raise an error.
All other timer types are unsupported by QEMU, so they will raise an
error.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: extend qemuBuildClockArgStr() to generate the
command line arguments for the new options
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: define 4 new flags
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: check the help text of qemu for presence of
features indicated by each flag.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: add appropriate flags into the masks for each test
* Fixes per feedback from Dan and Daniel
* Added test datafiles
* Re-disabled JSON flags
* Added code to print the error policy attribute when generating XML
* Re-add empty tag

To find out where the net type 'direct' needs to be handled I introduced

vhostfd_name to be passed in to commandline builder.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add filler 0 for new arg to qemuBuildHostNetStr,
along with a note that this must be implemented in order for hot-plug of
vhost-net virtio devices to work properly (once qemu "netdev_add" monitor

offset
The test case can't actually be enabled, since QEMU argv expects
an absolute timestring, and this will obviously change every
time the test runs :-( Hopefully QEMU will allow a relative
time offset in the future.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Use the -rtc arg
if available to support variable clock offset mode

qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-variable.xml,
qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test case, except we can't actually enable

The XML will soon be extended to allow more than just a simple
localtime/utc boolean flag. This change replaces the plain
