KVM call minutes for Apr 26

KVM call minutes for Apr 26

[Chris Wright]

Tools for resource accounting the virtual machines.
- Luis Castro was not on the call

Status of glib tree - next steps?
- full conversion done in tree
- still targeting 0.15

status of QCFG
- code generator rewritten to be more generic and useful
- merge core infrastructure first
  - to not block other work waiting on full conversion
- still need to complete full conversion

qemu-kvm merge
- status
  - review and merge/feedback pending from Avi on current outstanding patches
  - still have some 60 patches
    - break them into a few smaller series
- next steps, specifically:
  - upstreaming in-kernel irqchip support
  - MSI/MSI-X (cleanup and make mergable)
  - this is a decent amount of work, Jan is solo...anyone want to help?
- need to be careful of regressions
- add tests to avi's autotest run (e.g., cpu hotplug)
  - cpu hotplug test initiated from host side
  - online needs some cooperation in linux
  - still unclear on what's supported, windows apparently only supports online

autotest
- had autotest test day, feedback coming on list
- some issues with getting set up
- having basic common config could be useful

KVM Forum reminder
- send in your proposals

My config is:

include cdkeys.cfg

image_name(_.*)? ?<= images/
cdrom(_.*)? ?<= isos/
drive_cache=unsafe
extra_params = -enable-kvm

variants:

         only smp2

         only install setup boot reboot migrate shutdown
         only rtl8139
         only smallpages

abort_on_error = yes
kill_vm.* ?= no
kill_unresponsive_vms.* ?= no

WinXP.64|Win2003.64:
     no shutdown
     no reboot

# Choose your test list from the testsets defined
only avi

pci_assignable = no
serial_console = no
---------------------------------------

In addition I run the kvm-unit-tests tests.

Hi Lucas,

Could you send your suggested config as a patch to qemu.git?  Even 
better if it was automatically invoked via a make autotest target 
although if you supply the config, I'll happily patch the Makefile.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

So Anthony, after hearing quite a lot of feedback from our colleagues,
I'll start working on a 'make autotest' target for qemu and qemu-kvm.

A lot of compromises will have to be made here, I was thinking on a very
minimum setup where folks can get unittests, followed by booting,
rebooting, and single host migration, using a minimal fedora guest
image, that 'make autotest' would download.

Meanwhile, here is Avi's config file translated to a more current
autotest state. I don't think we should rush into putting this into
qemu's repo, as I am aiming for having this more transparent to the
user. Just publishing here FYI.

include tests_base.cfg
include cdkeys.cfg

image_name(_.*)? ?<= /tmp/kvm_autotest_root/images/
cdrom(_.*)? ?<= /tmp/kvm_autotest_root/
floppy ?<= /tmp/kvm_autotest_root/
Linux..unattended_install:
    kernel ?<= /tmp/kvm_autotest_root/
    initrd ?<= /tmp/kvm_autotest_root/

variants:
    # The variant names are the testset names
    - @regression:
        # We want qemu-kvm for this run
        qemu_binary = /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
        qemu_img_binary = /usr/bin/qemu-img
        only qcow2
        only rtl8139
        only ide
        only smp2
        only no_pci_assignable
        only smallpages
        only Fedora.14 Win7
        only unattended_install.cdrom, boot, reboot, migrate, shutdown

abort_on_error = yes
kill_vm.* ?= no
kill_unresponsive_vms.* ?= no

# Put the testset you want here
only regression
