The code in SELinuxRestoreSecurityChardevLabel() was trying to
use SELinuxSetFilecon directly for devices or file types while
it should really use SELinuxRestoreSecurityFileLabel encapsulating
routine, which avoid various problems like resolving symlinks,
making sure he file exists and work around NFS problems
To ease debugging this trivial patch allows to find what was compiled
in in the local version of libvirt, this doesn't work for remote access
but that's probably sufficient. With the patch I get on my machine:
paphio:~/libvirt/tools -> ./virsh -V
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.8.4
See web site at http://libvirt.org/
Compiled with support for:
Hypervisors: Xen QEmu/KVM UML OpenVZ LXC ESX PHYP Test
Networking: Remote Daemon Network Bridging Netcf Nwfilter
Storage: Dir Disk Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM
Miscellaneous: SELinux Secrets Debug Readline
paphio:~/libvirt/tools ->
* tools/virsh.c: add -V option
* tools/virsh.pod: document the extension
The patch is based on the possiblity in the QEmu command line to
add -smbios options allowing to override the default values picked
by QEmu. We need to detect this first from QEmu help output.
If the domain is defined with smbios to be inherited from host
then we pass the values coming from the Host own SMBIOS, but
if the domain is defined with smbios to come from sysinfo, we
use the ones coming from the domain definition.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: add the QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_SMBIOS_TYPE enum
value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: scan the help output for the smbios support,
and if available add support based on the domain definitions,
and host data
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: add the new enum in the outputs
Move existing routines about virSysinfoDef to an util module,
add a new entry point virSysinfoRead() to read the host values
with dmidecode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h src/util/sysinfo.c
src/util/sysinfo.h: move to a new module, add virSysinfoRead()
* src/Makefile.am: handle the new module build
* src/libvirt_private.syms: new internal symbols
* include/libvirt/virterror.h src/util/virterror.c: defined a new
error code for that module
* po/POTFILES.in: add new file for translations
the element has a mode attribute allowing only 3 values:
- emulate: use the smbios emulation from the hypervisor
- host: try to use the smbios values from the node
- sysinfo: grab the values from the <sysinfo> fields
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: extend the schemas
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the flag to the domain config
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: parse and serialize the smbios if present
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: defines a new internal type added to the
domain structure
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: parsing and serialization of that new type
virPipeReadUntilEOF is used to read the stdout of exec'ed
and this could fail to capture the full output and read only
1024 bytes.
The problem is that this is based on a poll loop, and in the
loop we read at most 1024 bytes per file descriptor, but we also
note in the loop if poll indicates that the process won't output
more than that on that fd by setting finished[i] = 1.
The simplest way is that if we read a full buffer make sure
finished[i] is still 0 because we will need another pass in the
loop.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: some of the function type description
were broken so they could not be automatically documented
* src/util/event.c docs/apibuild.py: event.c exports one public API
so it needs to be scanned too, avoid a few warnings
Doing `virsh schedinfo rhel5u3 --cap 65535' the hypervisor does the
call, but does not change the value nor raise an error. Best is just to
consider it's not in the allowed values. The problem is that the error
won't be output since the xend driver will then be called and raise an
error
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: unsupported
in xendConfigVersion < 4
which will override the useful information from
xenUnifiedDomainSetSchedulerParameters(). So best is to also invert the
order in which the xen sub-drivers are called.
* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c: mark 65535 cap value as out of bound
* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c: reverse the order of the calls to the xen
sub drivers to get the error message if needed
Basically a followup of the previous patch about balloon desactivation
if desactivated, to not ask for balloon information to qemu as we will
just get an error back.
This can make a huge difference in the time needed for domain
information or list when a machine is loaded, and balloon has been
desactivated in the guests.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: do not get the balloon info if the balloon
suppor is disabled
The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
<memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,
i.e. don't pass the args to qemu/kvm
That way it can be used to verify a numeric address without storing
the details
* src/util/network.c: change virSocketParseAddr to allow a null @addr
parameter
the followup on the boot=on problem, basically it's not needed to
specify it when booting out of IDE devices when using KVM
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: do not use boot=on for IDE devices
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv*.args: this changes the output
for 5 of the tests
it was using atoi direct without checking leading to confusion
in case of flag error for example with -c
* tools/virsh.c: vshParseArgv() use virStrToLong_i and remove the
unchecked atoi used to parse teh parameter
Basically the 'boot=on' boot selection device is something present in
KVM but not in upstream QEmu, as a result if we boot a QEmu domain
without KVM acceleration we must disable boot=on ... even if the front
end kvm binary expose that capability in the help page.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: in qemudBuildCommandLine if -no-kvm
is passed, then deactivate QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DRIVE_BOOT
This includes various things:
- fix the Requires: libvirt-client to use %{name} to allow easy
renaming
- when building ESX support one need libcurl-devel
- remove Makefile[.in] from xml/nwfilter in the docs, as this breaks
parallel install ation of i686 and x86_64 packages
- don't include nwfilter config files if not building with the daemon
all relatively trivial which is why I packed them together
* libvirt.spec.in: fix various small bugs
use /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq since /var/lib/libvirt/network is
unreadable by the dnsmasq binary
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: update DNSMASQ_STATE_DIR
* src/Makefile.am: create it on make install
* libvirt.spec.in: take the new directory into account
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in src/libvirt_public.syms:
updates for release of 0.8.0
* po/*.po po/libvirt.pot: updated a lar set of localizations, and merge
the messages
The images are saved in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/
and named $domainname.save . The directory is created appropriately
at daemon startup. When a domain is started while a saved image is
available, libvirt will try to load this saved image, and start the
domain as usual in case of failure. In any case the saved image is
discarded once the domain is created.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: adds an extra save path to the driver config
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: implement the 3 new operations and handling
of the image directory
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x src/remote/remote_protocol.h
src/remote/remote_protocol.c src/remote/remote_driver.c: add the entry
points in the remote driver
* daemon/remote.c daemon/remote_dispatch_args.h
daemon/remote_dispatch_prototypes.h daemon/remote_dispatch_table.h:
and implement the daemon counterpart
virDomainManagedSave() is to be run on a running domain. Once the call
complete, as in virDomainSave() the domain is stopped upon completion,
but there is no restore counterpart as any order to start the domain
from the API would load the state from the managed file, similary if
the domain is autostarted when libvirtd starts.
Once a domain has restarted his managed save image is destroyed,
basically managed save image can only exist for a stopped domain,
for a running domain that would be by definition outdated data.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in src/libvirt.c src/libvirt_public.syms:
adds the new entry points virDomainManagedSave(),
virDomainHasManagedSaveImage() and virDomainManagedSaveRemove()
* src/driver.h src/esx/esx_driver.c src/lxc/lxc_driver.c
src/opennebula/one_driver.c src/openvz/openvz_driver.c
src/phyp/phyp_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_driver.c src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c
src/remote/remote_driver.c src/test/test_driver.c src/uml/uml_driver.c
src/xen/xen_driver.c: add corresponding new internal drivers entry
points
* examples/xml/nwfilter/Makefile.am: add all xml to the distribution
* libvirt.spec.in: reference them from the rpm spec file to have them
available in the main libvirt package
* src/Makefile.am: adds a few missing header files in the associated
file variables, it's needed otherwise the missing headers breaks
compilation from a distribution tarball
Right now this implements only 2 basic hooks:
- before the lxc control process is being launched
- after the lxc control process is terminated
the XML description of the domain is passed to the hook script stdin
/etc/libvirt/hook/lxc
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: implement synchronous script hooks for LXC
at domain startup and end
Right now this implements only 2 basic hooks:
- before the qemu process is being launched
- after the qemu process is terminated
the XML description of the domain is passed to the hook script stdin
/etc/libvirt/hook/qemu
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: implement synchronous script hooks for QEmu
at domain startup and end
It supports 3 kind of probing times, at daemon startup, when the
daemon reloads its drivers on SIGHUP and when the daemon exits
* daemon/libvirtd.c: daemon hooks for startup, reload and exit
This exports 3 basic routines:
- virHookInitialize() initializing the hook support by looking for
scripts availability
- virHookPresent() used to test if there is a hook for a given driver
- virHookCall() which actually calls a synchronous script hook with
the needed parameters
Note that this doesn't expose any public API except for the locations
and arguments passed to the scripts
* src/Makefile.am: add the 2 new files
* src/util/hooks.h src/util/hooks.c: implements the 3 functions
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the 3 symbols internally
* po/POTFILES.in: add src/util/hooks.c to translatables modules
used to read the data from virExec stdout/err file descriptors
* src/util/util.c src/util/util.h: not static anymore and export it
* src/libvirt_private.syms: allow access internally
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538701
* daemon/libvirtd.init.in: daemon/libvirtd.init.in were not mentionned
in the usage message and if a missing or wrong argument is given it
should return 2, not 1
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: add the ",readonly=on" for read-only disks
and also parse it back in qemuParseCommandLineDisk()
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-readonly-disk.args
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-readonly-disk.xml:
add a specific regression test
When the daemon libvirtd restarts, a connected virsh gets a SIGPIPE
and dies. This change the behaviour to try to reconnect if the
signal was received or command error indicated a connection or RPC
failure. Note that the failing command is not restarted.
* tools/virsh.c: catch SIGPIPE signals as well as connection related
failures, add some automatic reconnection code and appropriate error
messages.
Having a single logrotate configuration file for all hypervisors
did not work as logrotate would get confused if an hypervisor not
supported on that platform was still listed. Simplest is to split
the logrotate as separate per hypervisor files and change the
spec file to only install the ones compiled in.
* daemon/libvirtd.lxc.logrotate.in daemon/libvirtd.qemu.logrotate.in
daemon/libvirtd.uml.logrotate.in: copy and split the original
daemon/libvirtd.logrotate.in file
* daemon/Makefile.am: update to support the different files and
cleanup in sed suggested by Eric Blake
* libvirt.spec.in: only install the relevant logrotate configs
* daemon/.gitignore: update logrotate generated list
* configure.ac libvirt.spec.in: update with new version
* docs/news.html.in: add list of changes in 0.7.7
* po/*po*: updated spanish and russian localisations, rebuilt
The -mem-prealloc flag should be used when using large pages
This ensures qemu tries to allocate all required memory immediately,
rather than when first used. The latter mode will crash qemu
if hugepages aren't available when accessed, while the former
should gracefully fallback to non-hugepages.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: add -mem-prealloc flag to qemu command line
when using large pages
If using a remote access, sometimes an RPC entry point is not
available, and currently we just end up with a raw:
error: unknown procedure: xxx
error, while this should be more cleanly reported as an unsupported
entry point like for local access
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: convert missing remote entry points into
the unsupported feature error
As Paul Jenner pointed out all other statistics commands use the
singular form
* tools/virsh.c: rename dommemstats to dommemstat as well as function
name and associated structures
Those were pointed by DanB in his review but not yet fixed
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: qemudWaitForMonitor() use EnterMonitorWithDriver()
and ExitMonitorWithDriver() there
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: checking fro strdu failure and hash
table add error in qemuMonitorTextGetPtyPaths()
* docs/ChangeLog.xsl docs/newapi.xsl docs/site.xsl: change all
stylesheets to output UTF-8 HTML instead of ISO Latin 1 which was
breaking on some people names.
Fix this warning, there is no need to use an intermediate,
different array pointer.
network.c: In function 'getIPv6Addr':
network.c:50: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
* src/util/network.c: avoid an intermediary pointer cast
configure: yajl: no
CC libvirt_util_la-json.lo
util/json.c:32:27: error: yajl/yajl_gen.h: No such file or directory
util/json.c:33:29: error: yajl/yajl_parse.h: No such file or directory
* src/util/json.c: remove the includes if yajl not configured in
0.7.3 was broken
* configure.in docs/news.html.in: release of 0.7.4
* configure.in libvirt.spec.in: require netcf >= 0.1.4
* src/Makefile.am: node_device/node_device_udev.h was missing from
NODE_DEVICE_DRIVER_UDEV_SOURCES breaking compilation on platforms with
udev
* tools/virsh.pod: the man page was stating that most operations
are asynchronous while in fact most of them are synchronous except
domain shutdown, setvcpus and setmem.
For backward compatibility we used to add the tty path as
a tty attribute on console of type pty, duplicating the value
now found in source/@path, but the Relax-NG grammar wasn't
extended for this
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/8'>
<source path='/dev/pts/8'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: allow an optional tty attribute
containing a devicePath
