      qemu: Emit compatible XML when migrating a domain · 409b5f54
      Jiri Denemark 提交于
      When we added the default USB controller into domain XML, we efficiently
      broke migration to older versions of libvirt that didn't support USB
      controllers at all (0.9.4 and earlier) even for domains that don't use
      anything that the older libvirt can't provide. We still want to present
      the default USB controller in any XML seen by a user/app but we can
      safely remove it from the domain XML used during migration. If we are
      migrating to a new enough libvirt, it will add the controller XML back,
      while older libvirt won't be confused with it although it will still
      tell qemu to create the controller.
      
      Similar approach can be used in the future whenever we find out we
      always enabled some kind of device without properly advertising it in
      domain XML.

      Currently, we have 3 boolean arguments we have to pass

      numad: Convert node list to cpumap before setting affinity · ccf80e36
      Osier Yang 提交于
      Instead of returning a CPUs list, numad returns NUMA node
      list instead, this patch is to convert the node list to
      cpumap before affinity setting. Otherwise, the domain
      processes will be pinned only to CPU[$numa_cell_num],
      which will cause significiant performance losses.
      
      Also because numad will balance the affinity dynamically,
      reflecting the cpuset from numad back doesn't make much
      sense then, and it may just could produce confusion for
      the users. Thus the better way is not to reflect it back
      to XML. And in this case, it's better to ignore the cpuset
      when parsing XML.
      
      The codes to update the cpuset is removed in this patch
      incidentally, and there will be a follow up patch to ignore
      the manually specified "cpuset" if "placement" is "auto",
      and document will be updated too.

      qemu: Avoid excessive calls to qemuDomainObjSaveJob() · 31796e2c
      Jiri Denemark 提交于
      As reported by Daniel Berrangé, we have a huge performance regression
      for virDomainGetInfo() due to the change which makes virDomainEndJob()
      save the XML status file every time it is called. Previous to that
      change, 2000 calls to virDomainGetInfo() took ~2.5 seconds. After that
      change, 2000 calls to virDomainGetInfo() take 2 *minutes* 45 secs.
      
      We made the change to be able to recover from libvirtd restart in the
      middle of a job. However, only destroy and async jobs are taken care of.
      Thus it makes more sense to only save domain state XML when these jobs
      are started/stopped.

      Support clock=variable relative to localtime · b8bf79aa

      Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to
      qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to
      'localtime' instead of 'utc'.
      
      Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
      offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.
      
      Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
      behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
      compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
      incorrect XML.
      
      Adapt the only user 'qemu' to the new name.
      Extend the RelaxNG schema accordingly.
      Document the new 'basis' attribute in the HTML documentation.
      Adapt test for the new attribute.

      fix a deadlock when qemu cannot start · ff68d6ee

      When qemu cannot start, we may call qemuProcessStop() twice.
      We have check whether the vm is running at the beginning of
      qemuProcessStop() to avoid libvirt deadlock. We call
      qemuProcessStop() with driver and vm locked. It seems that
      we can avoid libvirt deadlock. But unfortunately we may
      unlock driver and vm in the function qemuProcessKill() while
      vm->def->id is not -1. So qemuProcessStop() will be run twice,
      and monitor will be freed unexpectedly. So we should set
      vm->def->id to -1 at the beginning of qemuProcessStop().

      (this same build command works without problem on Fedora 16). Since
      the consumer of the qemuProcessReconnectData doesn't assume that the
      other fields of the struct are initialized (although it uses them
      internally), the simpler solution is to just switch to C99-style

      qemu: Support numad · 0f8e7ae3
      Osier Yang 提交于
      numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
      processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
      alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
      and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
      pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
      be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
      
      More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
      
      "numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
      provides currently.
      
      This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
      for <vcpu>. e.g.
      
        <vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
        <vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
      
      The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
      in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
        <vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
      
      If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
      memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
      command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
        numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
      
      The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
      domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
      
      If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
      (<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
      the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
      
      Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
      
      See docs update in patch for more details.

      Eric Blake 提交于
      No thanks to 64-bit windows, with 64-bit pid_t, we have to avoid
      constructs like 'int pid'.  Our API in libvirt-qemu cannot be
      changed without breaking ABI; but then again, libvirt-qemu can

      out Windows (even if qemu could be compiled there) - so for all
      points on the call chain that interact with this API decision,

      network: support Open vSwitch · df810046
      Ansis Atteka 提交于
      This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
      existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
      domain XML file can be used:
      
          <interface type='bridge'>
            <mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
            <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
            <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
              <parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
            </virtualport>
            <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                                slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
          </interface>
      
      or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
      following syntax:
      
          <interface type='bridge'>
            <mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
            <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
            <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
            </virtualport>
            <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                                slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
          </interface>
      
      It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
      use following syntax:
      
         <interface type='bridge'>
           <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
           <mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
           <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
             <parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
                         profileid='test-profile'/>
           </virtualport>
         </interface>
      
      To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
      run the following command:
      
          ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr

      conf: rename virDomainNetGetActualDirectVirtPortProfile · 9368465f

      An upcoming patch will add a <virtualport> element to interfaces of
      type='bridge', so it makes sense to give this function a more generic
      name.

      qemu: increase the timeout before sending SIGKILL to qemu process · f367cd13
      Laine Stump 提交于
      The current default method of terminating the qemu process is to send
      a SIGTERM, wait for up to 1.6 seconds for it to cleanly shutdown, then
      send a SIGKILL and wait for up to 1.4 seconds more for the process to
      terminate. This is problematic because occasionally 1.6 seconds is not
      long enough for the qemu process to flush its disk buffers, so the
      guest's disk ends up in an inconsistent state.
      
      Since this only occasionally happens when the timeout prior to SIGKILL
      is 1.6 seconds, this patch increases that timeout to 10 seconds. At
      the very least, this should reduce the occurrence from "occasionally"
      to "extremely rarely". (Once SIGKILL is sent, it waits another 5
      seconds for the process to die before returning).
      
      Note that in the cases where it takes less than this for qemu to
      shutdown cleanly, libvirt will *not* wait for any longer than it would
      without this patch - qemuProcessKill polls the process and returns as
      soon as it is gone.

      qemu: drop driver lock while trying to terminate qemu process · 595e26c0
      Laine Stump 提交于
      This patch is based on an earlier patch by Eric Blake which was never
      committed:
      
      https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-November/msg00243.html
      
      Aside from rebasing, this patch only drops the driver lock once (prior
      to the first time the function sleeps), then leaves it dropped until
      it returns (Eric's patch would drop and re-acquire the lock around
      each call to sleep).
      
      At the time Eric sent his patch, the response (from Dan Berrange) was
      that, while it wasn't a good thing to be holding the driver lock while
      sleeping, we really need to rethink locking wrt the driver object,
      switching to a finer-grained approach that locks individual items
      within the driver object separately to allow for greater concurrency.
      
      This is a good plan, and at the time it made sense to not apply the
      patch because there was no known bug related to the driver lock being
      held in this function.
      
      However, we now know that the length of the wait in qemuProcessKill is
      sometimes too short to allow the qemu process to fully flush its disk
      cache before SIGKILL is sent, so we need to lengthen the timeout (in
      order to improve the situation with management applications until they
      can be updated to use the new VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL flag added
      in commit 72f8a7f1). But, if we
      lengthen the timeout, we also lengthen the amount of time that all
      other threads in libvirtd are essentially blocked from doing anything
      (since just about everything needs to acquire the driver lock, if only
      for long enough to get a pointer to a domain).
      
      The solution is to modify qemuProcessKill to drop the driver lock
      while sleeping, as proposed in Eric's patch. Then we can increase the
      timeout with a clear conscience, and thus at least lower the chances
      that someone running with existing management software will suffer the
      consequence's of qemu's disk cache not being flushed.
      
      In the meantime, we still should work on Dan's proposal to make
      locking within the driver object more fine grained.
      
      (NB: although I couldn't find any instance where qemuProcessKill() was
      called with no jobs active for the domain (or some other guarantee
      that the current thread had at least one refcount on the domain
      object), this patch still follows Eric's method of temporarily adding
      a ref prior to unlocking the domain object, because I couldn't
      convince myself 100% that this was the case.)

      qemu: new GRACEFUL flag for virDomainDestroy w/ QEMU support · 72f8a7f1
      Laine Stump 提交于
      When libvirt's virDomainDestroy API is shutting down the qemu process,
      it first sends SIGTERM, then waits for 1.6 seconds and, if it sees the
      process still there, sends a SIGKILL.
      
      There have been reports that this behavior can lead to data loss
      because the guest running in qemu doesn't have time to flush its disk
      cache buffers before it's unceremoniously whacked.
      
      This patch maintains that default behavior, but provides a new flag
      VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL to alter the behavior. If this flag is set
      in the call to virDomainDestroyFlags, SIGKILL will never be sent to
      the qemu process; instead, if the timeout is reached and the qemu
      process still exists, virDomainDestroy will return an error.
      
      Once this patch is in, the recommended method for applications to call
      virDomainDestroyFlags will be with VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL
      included. If that fails, then the application can decide if and when
      to call virDomainDestroyFlags again without
      VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL (to force the issue with SIGKILL).
      
      (Note that this does not address the issue of existing applications
      that have not yet been modified to use VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL.
      That is a separate patch.)
