This patch adds three macros to the virsh source tree that help to
easily check for mutually exclusive parameters.
VSH_EXCLUSIVE_OPTIONS_EXPR has four arguments, two expressions to check
and two names of the parameters to print in the message.
VSH_EXCLUSIVE_OPTIONS is more specific and check the command structure
for the parameters using vshCommandOptBool.
VSH_EXCLUSIVE_OPTIONS_VAR is meant to check boolean variables with the
same name as the parameters.
The addition of emulator pinning APIs didn't think of doing the right
job with python APIs for them. The default generator produced unusable
code for this.
This patch switches to proper code as in the case of domain Vcpu pining.
This change can be classified as a python API-breaker but in the state
the code was before I doubt anyone was able to use it successfully.
This patch adds auditing of resources used by Virtio RNG devices. Only
resources on the local filesystems are audited.
The audit logs look like:
For the 'random' backend:
type=VIRT_RESOURCE msg=audit(1363099126.643:31): pid=995252 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='virt=kvm resrc=rng reason=start vm="qcow-test" uuid=118733ed-b658-3e22-a2cb-4fe5cb3ddf79 old-rng="?" new-rng="/dev/random": exe="/home/pipo/libvirt/daemon/.libs/libvirtd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=pts/0 res=success'
For local character device source:
type=VIRT_RESOURCE msg=audit(1363100164.240:96): pid=995252 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='virt=kvm resrc=rng reason=start vm="qcow-test" uuid=118733ed-b658-3e22-a2cb-4fe5cb3ddf79 old-rng="?" new-rng="/tmp/unix.sock": exe="/home/pipo/libvirt/daemon/.libs/libvirtd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=pts/0 res=success'
Qemu's implementation of virtio RNG supports rate limiting of the
entropy used. This patch exposes the option to tune this functionality.
This patch is based on qemu commit 904d6f588063fb5ad2b61998acdf1e73fb4
The rate limiting is exported in the XML as:
<devices>
...
<rng model='virtio'>
<rate bytes='123' period='1234'/>
<backend model='random'/>
</rng>
...
The virCaps structure gathered a ton of irrelevant data over time that.
The original reason is that it was propagated to the XML parser
functions.
This patch aims to create a new data structure virDomainXMLConf that
will contain immutable data that are used by the XML parser. This will
allow two things we need:
1) Get rid of the stuff from virCaps
2) Allow us to add callbacks to check and add driver specific stuff
after domain XML is parsed.
This first attempt removes pointers to private data allocation functions
to this new structure and update all callers and function that require
them.
This patch adds proper error reporting if parsing of cputune parameters
fails due to incorrect values provided by the user. Previously no errors
were reported in such a case and the failure was silently ignored.
Make the iterator function usable in the next patches. Also refactor
some parts to avoid strcmp if not necessary.
This commit tweaks and shadows the change that was done in commit
babe7dada0 and was needed after the
support for multiple console devices was added. Historically the first
<console> element is alias for the <serial> device.
The new TypedParam helper APIs allow to simplify this function
significantly.
This patch integrates the fix in 75e5bec97b
by correctly ordering the setting functions instead of reordering the
parameters.
This patch adds a new capability bit QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_RNG_EGD and code
to support the egd backend for the VirtIO RNG device.
The device is added by 3 qemu command line options:
-chardev socket,id=charrng0,host=1.2.3.4,port=1234 (communication
backend)
-object rng-egd,chardev=charrng0,id=rng0 (RNG protocol client)
-device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 (the RNG device)
This patch implements support for the virtio-rng-pci device and the
rng-random backend in qemu.
Two capabilities bits are added to track support for those:
QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIRTIO_RNG - for the device support and
QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_RNG_RANDOM - for the backend support.
qemu is invoked with these additional parameters if the device is
enabled:
-object rng-random,id=rng0,filename=/test/phile (to add the backend)
-device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 (to add the device)
This patch adds basic configuration support for the RNG device
supporting the virtio model with the "random" and "egd" backend types as
described in the schema in the previous patch.
This patch documents XML elements used for (basic) support of virtual
RNG devices.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
For the default 'random' backend:
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='random'>/dev/urandom</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
For the slightly more advanced EGD backend:
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='egd' type='udp'>
<!-- this is a definition of a character device -->
<source mode='bind' service='1234'/>
<source mode='connect' host='1.2.3.4' service='1234'/>
<!-- or other valid character device configuration -->
</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
For the planned random daemon/pool:
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='pool' pool='poolname'>class</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
to enable the RNG device for guests.
This patch adds a fake switch statement to force the compiler to warn
after a new device type was added. This should remind the contributor to
add the new device also to this iterator function.
This patch switches string option retrieval to vshCommandOptStringReq
and refactors some error paths to avoid an unlikely memory leak of a
secret object in cmdSecretSetValue.
also avoids potential NULL pointer dereference:
$ virsh snapshot-current asdf ""
error: invalid snapshotname argument '(null)'
by removing the error message in favor of vshCommandOptStringReq
This patch adds some empty lines to separate blocks of code, cleans up
unnecessary error message constructs in cmdNodeDeviceDetach,
cmdNodeDeviceReAttach, cmdNodeDeviceReset and refactors error paths in
cmdNodeDeviceDumpXML.
This patch adds a helper function with similar semantics to
vshCommandOptString that requests a string argument, but does some error
reporting without the need to do it in the functions themselves.
The error reporting also provides information about the parameter whose
retrieval failed.
When a disk-only snapshot is requested the domain is treated as if it
was offline. This forbids to mix memory checkpoints with the DISK_ONLY
flag.
This patch improves the error message and mentions the restriction in
the virsh man page.
This patch resolves CVE-2013-0170:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893450
When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was freed
but wasn't removed from the message queue.
After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
uninitialized pointer.
This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.
* rpc/virnetserverclient.c: virNetServerClientDispatchRead:
- avoid use after free of RPC messages
Commit 87b4c10c6c added code that may call
the virCapabilitiesClearHostNUMACellCPUTopology function with
uninitialized second argument. Although the value wouldn't be used some
compilers whine about that.
This patch adds data gathering to the NUMA gathering files and adds
support for outputting the data. The test driver and xend driver need to
be adapted to fill sensible data to the structure in a future patch.
This will allow storing additional topology data in the NUMA topology
definition.
This patch changes the storage type and fixes fallout of the change
across the drivers using it.
This patch also changes semantics of adding new NUMA cell information.
Until now the data were re-allocated and copied to the topology
definition. This patch changes the addition function to steal the
pointer to a pre-allocated structure to simplify the code.
This patch adds RNG schemas for adding more information in the topology
output of the NUMA section in the capabilities XML.
The added elements are designed to provide more information about the
placement and topology of the processors in the system to management
applications.
A demonstration of supported XML added by this patch:
<capabilities>
<host>
<topology>
<cells num='3'>
<cell id='0'>
<cpus num='4'> <!-- this is node with Hyperthreading -->
<cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0-1'/>
<cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0-1'/>
<cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2-3'/>
<cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2-3'/>
</cpus>
</cell>
<cell id='1'>
<cpus num='4'> <!-- this is node with modules (Bulldozer) -->
<cpu id='4' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='4-5'/>
<cpu id='5' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='4-5'/>
<cpu id='6' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='6-7'/>
<cpu id='7' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='6-7'/>
</cpus>
</cell>
<cell id='2'>
<cpus num='4'> <!-- this is a normal multi-core node -->
<cpu id='8' socket_id='1' core_id='0' siblings='8'/>
<cpu id='9' socket_id='1' core_id='1' siblings='9'/>
<cpu id='10' socket_id='1' core_id='2' siblings='10'/>
<cpu id='11' socket_id='1' core_id='3' siblings='11'/>
</cpus>
</cell>
</cells>
</topology>
</host>
</capabilities>
The socket_id field represents identification of the physical socket the
CPU is plugged in. This ID may not be identical to the physical socket
ID reported by the kernel.
The core_id identifies a core within a socket. Also this field may not
accurately represent physical ID's.
The core_id is guaranteed to be unique within a cell and a socket. There
may be duplicates between sockets. Only cores sharing core_id within one
cell and one socket can be considered as threads. Cores sharing core_id
within sparate cells are distinct cores.
The siblings field is a list of CPU id's the cpu id's the CPU is sibling
with - thus a thread. The list is in the cpuset format.
This patch changes the name of the @sep argument to @terminator and
clarifies it's usage. This patch also explicitly documents that
whitespace can't be used as @terminator as it is skipped multiple times
in the implementation.
The count of vCPUs for a domain is extracted as a usingned long variable
but is stored in a unsigned short. If the actual number was too large,
a faulty number was stored.
This patch fixes the following issues in the cpu-stats virsh command:
1) Renames label failed_params to no_memory to match coding style
2) Uses proper typed parameter cleanup in error paths to avoid leaks
3) Adds a ret variable and simplifies error labels
4) Changes error message to a slightly more descriptive one and gets rid
of the newline at the end:
Before:
$ virsh cpu-stats tr
error: Failed to virDomainGetCPUStats()
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running
After:
$ tools/virsh cpu-stats tr
error: Failed to retrieve CPU statistics for domain 'tr'
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running
The snapshot name is used to create path to the definition save file.
When the name contains slashes the creation of the file fails. Reject
such names.
When the snapshot definition can't be saved, the
qemuDomainSnapshotCreate function succeeded without filling some of the
fields in the internal definition.
This patch removes the snapshot and returns failure if the XML file
cannot be written.
After live change of cpu counts, the number of processor threads is
verified. This patch makes use of this approach to check if qemu ignored
the request for cpu hot-unplug and report an appropriate message.
If addition of rules in networkAddIptablesRules() failed the real error
was masked by error reported when trying to clean up the remaining
rules.
With this patch the original error message is saved and set back after
the removal is complete.
This patch changes whitespace and the length of the separation line from
this format:
$ virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart Persistent
--------------------------------------------------
default inactive yes yes
to
$ virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart Persistent
----------------------------------------------------------
default inactive yes yes
to match the output of virsh list.
Commit 0211fd6e04 introduced regression
where newly defined networks were not made persistent.
This patch makes the network persistent on each successful definition.
When the disk alignment check done while redefining an existing snapshot
failed, the qemu driver attempted to free the existing snapshot. As in
the cleanup path the definition of the snapshot wasn't assigned, the
cleanup code dereferenced a NULL pointer.
This patch changes the behavior on error paths while redefining snapshot
in two ways:
1) On failure, modifications done on the snapshot definition object are
rolled back.
2) The previous definition of the data isn't freed until it's certain it
won't be needed any more.
This change avoids the segfault and additionally the snapshot doesn't
vanish if redefinition fails for some reason.
This patch simplifies the code that parses the fallback and vendor_id
attributes from the domain xml cpu definition.
Changes done:
- free temp variables in the cleanup section instead of local use
- remove checking for presence of the attribute to directly getting the
value (saving call to virXPathBoolean)
- replace loop used to check for ',' in the vendor_id string with strchr
This patch adds a new domain lookup helper qemuDomObjFromDomainDriver
that lookups the domain and leaves the driver locked. The driver is
returned as the second argument of that function. If the lookup fails
the driver is unlocked to help avoid cleanup codepaths.
This patch also improves docs for the helpers.
This patch gets rid of the undeterministic error reporting code done on
return values of get(pw|gr)nam_r. With this patch, if the group record
is not returned by the corresponding function this error is not
considered fatal even if errno != 0. The error is logged in such case.
This patch exports qemuMigrationIsAllowed and adds a new parameter to it
to denote if it's a remote migration or a local migration. Local
migrations are used in snapshots and saving of the machine state and
have fewer restrictions. This patch also adjusts callers of the function
and tweaks some error messages to be more universal.
When the disk snapshot part of an external system checkpoint fails the
memory image is retained. This patch adds code to remove the image in
such case.
In case the snapshot code isn't able to restart CPUs after an external
checkpoint we would leak a copy of the domains XML definition. This
patch fixes the cleanup path.
