This patch adds a check into QEMU driver, because period attribute is only supported by QEMU.Well, there are couple more things broken. 1) Change to this patch: It is written in the description that period can me 0 or more, so it would make sense to guard all the drivers (ideally at one place) together. If that changes, the check can be moved to individual drivers, but for now anything outside <0,INT_MAX> doesn't make sense.Well stats collection period is only used by QEMU, but the issue here is it's quite impossible to do it unified for all drivers, possibly at one place, because you can't do it right after the domain gets parsed (otherwise domain disappears after daemon's restart) and we already do check this at client's side (both virsh cmd routine and our public API virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriod). However, this patch doesn't fix the issue anyway, as the check is at a wrong place.
You're right, I didn't know we have checks in APIs on the way already.
2) Curiosity: <membaloon model='virtio'> <stats period='5'/> <address .../> </membaloon> This ^^ fails validation because <stats/> must come *after* <address/> (WAT) even though all other device elements *require* the address to be last (why would we even do that!).Will include fix for this one in the next versions :).
Great! That'd be nice (although it's not an error per se).
3) Invalid number gets still parsed in the XML and it only wraps to negative when sending to the monitor at the guest's start.We can't do much about this, can we?
Sure we can, the question is whether that makes sense. I'd either shout at the time when qemu is starting the domain and fail when int period <= 0 or ignore such values quietly (with VIR_DEBUG() at most). When it comes to where to check this, it'd be best to check this inside qemuMonitorSetMemoryStatsPeriod(), but beware! We are screwing up the error messages all over the place and leaving them, duplicating them, etc. So even though I'd accept a simple fix in that function, I'd like to see (at least later on) some cleanup to this.
Thank you for your review :), Erik
You're welcome ;)
