Subject: [Qemu-devel] KVM call minutes for Oct 26
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 08:02:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101026150250.GB27794@x200.localdomain> (raw)
Guest Agents
- need to get to guest userspace for many actions
- virtio for userspace
- host backend needs to terminate in QEMU
- portable across guest OS's
- virt-agent
- bi-directional RPC (XML-RPC just since it's easy)
- cmd: shutdown, reboot, dmesg, execute command, read/write file
- query guest type
- Matahari
- consolidate agent proliferation
- w/ or w/out networking (virtio-serial is fine)
- may or may not have access to host
- using amqp
- single transport
- use of qpid (C++, not C friendly)
- put qemu bits in library and wrap (similar to libvirt, netcf, etc)
- e.g. shutdown, where does it live?
- ACPI shutdown can trigger dbus, dialog, etc.
- can already do ACPI, agent is for direct "shutdown -h now"
- is there an async notification on shutdown (know it's been sucessful)
- perhaps another library like libsysconfig
- openvmtools
- useful as reference, GPL (requires copyright assignment)
- uses PIO (or socket)
0.13.1
- vmmouse is broken
- assertion failure in block layer
- just qemu-img: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646538
- patch posted, thanks Stefan
- hotplug fixes
- fix for seabios SCI level triggered (broken host initiated powerdown on FreeBSD)
- regression <-- any regression needs to be considered seriously
- was planning to move to 0.6.1 (vs. latest git snapshot)
- kevin indicated ok with stable/tagging/branch for seabios
bootindex patch series
- qdev name vs specific name
- fine for seabios interface
- migration needs stable address too
- worth holding up series for this?
- one more try, then fallback to plan b (new callback)
migration issues
- keep using network after VM has stopped
- sent hacky patch for virtio-net, but need a generic sol'n
- virtio-block flushes after stop
- need a similar stop/flush for other devices
- unclear how anything is running w/out getting back to main loop
- happening after migration completes
networking interfaces
- old vlan vs new netdev...be nice to finish off and simply internal
interfaces
