 I still think our consensus from when I posted this patch last year

 patch upstream sounds good to me.

  I'm fine with the patch.

  Concerning this detail of the syntax, we already know at that point
that it's about a nic since we are in an interface description,
so it's a bit redundant. Also it's the first time we introduce XML
to describe a specific model of hardware (so far we managed to avoid
this, from a virtualization POV it's more of a problem than a feature
in my opinion), the advantage of
   model type=''/
to me is that we could reuse exactly the same construct each time we
want to specify the hardware model of an emulated device, the device type
being already defined by the englobing element (disk/input/graphic/serial/...)
  Since we are introducing new syntax, making it as generic as possible
sounds better to me,

Re: [Libvir] make syntax-check fails with bzr checkouts

2008-04-30 Thread Soren Hansen
The bzr problem was obviously that vc-list-files didn't support bzr.

Failing with CVS was caused by a bashism in vc-list-files. In Ubuntu,
/bin/sh points to dash instead of bash, but vc-list-files had
#!/bin/sh.

This patch fixes both issues:

Unfortunately, the above no longer applies, due to upstream (gnulib)
changes to deal with non-srcdir (aka VPATH) builds.  I updated
libvirt from gnulib just yesterday, and will again, later today.

Can you adapt your patch to make bzr work with the newer version?

   }}' \

 +  $(find ${*:-*} -name Entries -print) /dev/null;

Thanks for reporting that.
Note though that POSIX appears to require the behavior that bash exhibits,
so calling this a bashism doesn't seem right.  However, in the spec,
just beneath the part that talks about ${parameter-word} there are escape
clauses for e.g., ${#parameter} and ${parameter%word} etc.:

  If parameter is '*' or '@', the result of the expansion is unspecified.

but there is no such exemption for the ${parameter-word} syntax.
All that to say that this looks more like an infelicity in dash,
and since Ubuntu relies on it, you may want to investigate further.

However, back to vc-list-files, that awk-based code is so hard
to reach for me -- I avoid CVS, and when I do use it, I have cvsu
in my path -- that it is rarely tested.

Anyhow the use of * there is unnecessary, and in addition,
there was a subtle (but probably never problematic) quoting bug.
Here's the patch I've pushed to gnulib:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=173a9f0c48a16c3507f8

If you care about the CVS-oriented cases, there are two more patches.

Note that the awk+find-based code *still* fails in some pathological
cases, e.g., with a file named 'a b/CVS/Entries' in your hierarchy,
but the response there is just don't do that.
Or depend on find -print0+xargs -0, but that would be counter-productive
just to avoid a warning in such an unlikely scenario.

Jim

Hi dan,

 I got confused with your answer, virDomainInfo memory,

Does it mean that all allocated memory is utilized by the guest OS?
 Their is good chance that Guest OS may not be utilizing all memory.

How to find out the Currently running Guest Domains memory utilization
level?

No, this just tells you how much memory the hypervisor has allocated
to the guest OS. 

  Their is good chance that Guest OS may not be utilizing all memory.

Correct. The only way to find that out is to ask the guest OS for its
fine grained breakdown of memory usage. The hypervisor/host OS doesn't
have ability to get this information.

 How to find out the Currently running Guest Domains memory utilization
 level?

You'll want to have some monitoring agent inside your guest OS. One example
lightweight agent is 'collected'. It'll transmit utilization data to any
host over the network where you can analyse it

[Libvir] PATCH: Autogenerate table of contents for docs

2008-04-30 Thread Daniel P. Berrange
Alot of the docs pages have manually written table of contents linking to
headings with the page. I figured this is a good candidate for being
auto-generated.

The basic idea is that given a document with  a series of headings

   h2a name=xxxFoo/a/h2
   ..
   h3a name=xxxBar/a/h3
   ..
   h3a name=xxxWizz/a/h3
   ..
   h2a name=xxxOooh/a/h2
   ..
   h3a name=xxxAhhh/a/h3

Then, generate a table of contents with a nested set of lists ul. THe
XSL below attempts todo this for heading levels h2 - h6, and splices the
TOC into the page where it sees an ul id='toc'/ul element (typically
just after h1).

I'm kind of out of practice with XSL, so there's probably a nicer way
to write the 'toc' template below...

  I refuse to be bound by such arguments. We just can't accept this, if 
someone ships a mofified version before it got agreed upon upstream, they
perfectly well know that they are putting their users at risk and will have
to sort the mess later. That's the rule of development in our whole ecosystem.
A patch has to be reviewed by its technical merits. If someone ships a 
patched version and upstream uses something different in the end they will
have to keep another patch to preserve the compatibility. People should push
things here quickly, if we are not quick enough, feel free to complain
publicly, but please don't play with the end users.

 There's nothing we can sensibly review in the patch, and after all, the

 this for us :-)

Mostly true ;-)

Last night I saw a new configure-time diagnostic that may
indicate an underlying problem -- but doesn't affect any builds

Re: [Libvir] PATCH: Autogenerate table of contents for docs

 Alot of the docs pages have manually written table of contents linking to
 headings with the page. I figured this is a good candidate for being
 auto-generated.
 
 The basic idea is that given a document with  a series of headings
 
h2a name=xxxFoo/a/h2
..
h3a name=xxxBar/a/h3
..
h3a name=xxxWizz/a/h3
..
h2a name=xxxOooh/a/h2
..
h3a name=xxxAhhh/a/h3
 
 Then, generate a table of contents with a nested set of lists ul. THe
 XSL below attempts todo this for heading levels h2 - h6, and splices the
 TOC into the page where it sees an ul id='toc'/ul element (typically
 just after h1).
 
 I'm kind of out of practice with XSL, so there's probably a nicer way
 to write the 'toc' template below...

  Yeah, it look weird but since:
   1/ the HTML is flat you can't base counting more on structure
   2/ h2/h3/h4/h5/h6 are not a real subsetting pattern you can't
  use recursion 

 one suggestion, instead of
   a href=#{a/@name}xsl:value-of select=a/text()//a
at each level, use something like
   a href=#{a/@name}xsl:textxsl:value-of 
select=string(a)//xsl:text/a
to still capture text if the header is not just made of a single text node.

[Libvir] build problems on RHEL5, at least some are now fixed

2008-04-30 Thread Jim Meyering
Daniel Berrange noticed some build problems on RHEL5.
Some were due to my not adding two .m4 files in yesterday's
gnulib update.  [excuse time ;-) Normally (in other projects),
the gnulib-update process is automatic, since the imported files
are not version-controlled, but for libvirt I have to identify
new files pulled in by a gnulib update, and obviously didn't
complete that step.

Identifying and adding added files is not hard.  Just have to remember
to do it before committing anything.  Actually, the trick is (as usual)
to *automate* the process, so we don't have to depend on my memory.
This is now on my list.

Anyhow, I've committed the change.

 Thanks for reporting that.
 Note though that POSIX appears to require the behavior that bash exhibits,
 so calling this a bashism doesn't seem right.  

No. POSIX requires that ${*-*} should expand to * if $* is unset (and
not if it's null).  $* is defined to expand to the positional parameters
starting from 1. The spec is not *entirely* clear, I'll give you that,
but considering $* to be unset (instead of just null) messes with my
sanity. At any rate, relying on bash's interpretation of the spec is a
text book example of a bashism, if you ask me.

 but there is no such exemption for the ${parameter-word} syntax.  All
 that to say that this looks more like an infelicity in dash, and since
 Ubuntu relies on it, you may want to investigate further.

Well, if anyone insists on not changing something that only works with
bash to something that works with any shell (${*:-*} vs. ${*-*}) , but
also refuses to put /bin/bash explicitly as the interpreter is just
being pointlessly difficult, IMO.  

 However, back to vc-list-files, that awk-based code is so hard to
 reach for me -- I avoid CVS, and when I do use it, I have cvsu in my
 path -- that it is rarely tested.
 
 Anyhow the use of * there is unnecessary, and in addition,
 there was a subtle (but probably never problematic) quoting bug.
 Here's the patch I've pushed to gnulib:
 
   
 http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=173a9f0c48a16c3507f8

That patch will make the cvs case fail, too. It will prepend a ./ to all
path names which will screw with the comparison, AFAICS. 

 If you care about the CVS-oriented cases, there are two more patches.

Not really. :) It just popped up when I was trying to determine why my
bzr case was failing.

include the patch in Ubuntu. It was only a matter of time before we

Now, the disk model syntax supporting virtio is where I agree with Daniel

All versions of libvirt should build successfully with RHEL-5. It is one of
our supported platforms - we intend to support any Linux distro with 
software of RHEL-5 vintage or later.

I agree. A model type='foo' / element in the disk definition could

[Libvir] Re: Can't connect to lxc driver

On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 05:22:22PM -0700, Dave Leskovec wrote:
 Hi Dan,
 
 I updated today to the latest CVS and can no longer connect to the lxc driver.
 I've tracked it down to this check in doRemoteOpen() in remote_internal.c:
 
 if ((
 #ifdef HAVE_XMLURI_QUERY_RAW
  uri-query_raw =
 #else
  uri-query =
 #endif
  qparam_get_query (vars)) == NULL) goto failed;
 
 Looking at the recent VirBuffer changes, it looks like they changed the 
 behavior
 of qparam_get_query.  With the old VirBuffer, qparam_get_query returned a
 non-NULL result because virBufferNew allocated space.  The new VirBuffer 
 doesn't
 allocate space until something is added and hence this function returns NULL 
 if
 nothing is ever put in the buffer.  I'm not familiar enough with the intended
 behavior to know what the fix should be here.

So two things - with the old code it was impossible for qparam_get_query
to return NULL, so the NULL check was redundant. Aside from that, it
looks like it is valid for uri-query to be set to NULL anway to indicate
that no variables are set. So I'd suggest you try just removing the
NULL check  goto failed. If that doesn't work, then modify get_query
to return , if the buffer is NULL.

Regards,
Dan.
