Re: [PATCH] qemu: capabilities: Don't partially reprope caps on process reconnect

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

 



Peter,
besides the trivial typo in the subject line (s/reprope/reprobe) I agree that this is the correct fix for the capability problem when reconnecting to the qemu processes. Thanks.

I suggest that you mention in the patch description that libvirt starting with version 2.2.0 is terminating all running qemu domains if the qemu binaries do not implement/have not enabled the qmp command 'query-hotpluggable-cpus'. Including the user observable internal error message for reference would maybe help as well. (internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'query-hotpluggable-cpus': The feature 'query-hotpluggable-cpus' is not enabled)

In addition this patch looks to me like a good candidate for the maintenance branches.

Thanks to the complex capability caching code virQEMUCapsProbeQMP was
never called when we were starting a new qemu VM. On the other hand,
when we are reconnecting to the qemu process we reload the capability
list from the status XML file. This means that the flag preventing the
function being called was not set and thus we partially reprobed some of
the capabilities.

The recent addition of CPU hotplug clears the
QEMU_CAPS_QUERY_HOTPLUGGABLE_CPUS if the machine does not support it.
The partial re-probe on reconnect results into attempting to call the
unsupported command and then killing the VM.

Remove the partial reprobe and depend on the stored capabilities. If it
will be necessary to reprobe the capabilities in the future, we should
do a full reprobe rather than this partial one.
