[PATCH 0/2] qemu: support SPICE+unix socket

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



qemu has supported SPICE+unix socket listening since 2.3.0. Patch #1
wires it up from domain_conf.c down to qemu, patch #2 adds qemu.conf
spice_auto_unix_socket option

Full disclosure: this duplicates the logic of VNC socket usage, which has
some pre-existing warts:

- When the VM is running with graphics socket=FOO, the runtime XML
  still lists <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>.
- If using vnc/spice auto socket, it looks like ports can still be
  allocated in the code, though they are never used.
- In fact I suspect there's lots of issues with stray XML port/listen
  being parsed and ending up in the device config, but selectively being
  ignored later. We should probably explicitly ignore/error about those
  combos when parsing the XML so we never have to ignore specific values
  later on.
- The auto socket path is set in qemu_command.c but it should probably
  be set in qemu_process.c with the port stuff. Though there are references
  to vncListen in qemu_command.c which should probably be moved as well.
  The issue with moving them to qemu_process.c is now there isn't any
  pre-existing way to test those bits like via qemuxml2argvtest for
  example. Though finding a way to test the graphics prep stuff would
  be valuable anyways
- teuf suggests: converting <graphics socket=X/> to
  <graphics><listen type='socket' path='FOO'/></graphics> like was done
  with listen= address
- tuef: virsh domdisplay doesn't handle sockets

To avoid yet another rabbit hole I didn't touch any of the above issues,
which basically means spice+unix is no less operationally worse than
vnc+unix :)
