Eric, thanks for reply but I'm having some issues now...

I've pulled libvirt sources from upstream and I'm unable to compile it
since it keeps saying following:

   CCLD   libvirt_parthelper
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-util.o): In function
`virFileOperationNoFork':
/home/mig/Work/virt-related/libvirt/src/util/util.c:1363: undefined
reference to `rpl_open'
Huh.  rpl_open is a gnulib replacement for open(); I'm not sure why
gnulib thinks open() needs replacing on Linux (unless it is trying to
provide O_CLOEXEC support for older kernels).  Was this an incremental
build, where you had already built before updating to the latest
libvirt.git, and just typed 'make'?

Can you try 'rm gnulib/lib/fcntl.h', then 'make', to see if it clears up
the issue?  If it doesn't, then maybe you'll have to resort to a
full-blown clean checkout.


I have already solved this one by `make maintainer-clean` which cloned the gnulib again.

Unfortunately I was unable to find definition of 'rpl_open' function
using git grep so I don't really know what to do there. Some bug or do I
miss something?
It's defined by gnulib, which is copied into place from the gnulib.git
submodule during ./autogen.sh (and not under libvirt.git's control).
Even then, it only exists in the replacement<fcntl.h>  header provided
by gnulib when gnulib thinks that open() isn't up to snuff with POSIX
requirements.


OK

Basically I don't know what you mean by this. Also, when I was defining
XMLs I saw that the console node copies the first serial node however
how to define it if first serial node is just none?

I mean the XML is like:

<serial type='dev'>
<source path='/dev/ttyS0'/>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
<serial type='dev'>
<source path='/dev/ttyS1'/>
<target port='1'/>
</serial>
<console type='dev'>
<source path='/dev/ttyS0'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>

But what should the XML part be for case of first serial device to be
none ?
I think the key is the<target port='1'/>.  You don't need any
placeholder in the XML for a missing port 0, but you do need it in the
xm format where port is implied by position.  That is:

<devices>
   <serial type='dev'>
     <source path='/dev/ttyS1'/>
     <target port='1'/>
   </serial>
</devices>

should be sufficient XML to mark that you want to use multi-serial xen
support, and that you are explicitly leaving virtual port 0 unoccupied
and plugging in your one serial device into virtual port 1; mapping to:

serial = [ "none", "/dev/ttyS1" ]

in the xm file.  The sexpr rationale should be the same.


Ah, ok, sounds good. Thanks!

Michal
