Libguestfs - Apr 2017 - [PATCH v4 3/9] v2v: linux: Replace 'ki_supports_virtio' field.

v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-April/msg00031.html
v2: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-April/msg00040.html
v3: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-April/msg00051.html

v3 -> v4:

 - Properly fix Xen PV-only kernel detection, and test it.

Rich.

This is pure refactoring, no change to functionality.

2.12.0

We want to detect if a Linux kernel is Xen PV only ("PV-only").  Such
a kernel will not boot on KVM, and if a guest has only PV-only
kernels, it will not be able to boot at all on the target.

Our previous test was wrong.  It tested whether the xennet.ko module
exists.  This module was renamed in more recent kernels (to
xen-netfront.ko), so it happened to not detect modern kernels as
PV-only, but this was by chance.

Modern kernel images can be compiled with Xen PV guest support.  The
same image can boot on baremetal, KVM, Xen PV or Xen HVM.  Testing if
the xennet (or xen-netfront) module exists is irrelevant to this.

This test, which is based on ideas from Laszlo Ersek and

  https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Software_Overview#Guest_Types

uses the kernel config test CONFIG_X86_XEN || CONFIG_X86_64_XEN to
determine PV-only kernels.

Note that these CONFIG flags were never upstream, and existed only in
Linux kernels forked by Xen ("XenLinux").  By the time Xen guest
support was added upstream, it was implemented using pvops support, so
a single image could boot on Xen and non-Xen as described above, and
these flags were no longer used.

Updates commit 7eb219d1938968c4d6bffda038aaace936f7efbf.

Thanks: Laszlo Ersek.

2.12.0

Previously the kernel_info field 'ki_supports_virtio' really meant
that the kernel supports virtio-net.  That was used as a proxy to mean
the kernel supports virtio in general.

This change splits the field so we explicitly test for both virtio-blk
and virtio-net drivers, and store the results as separate fields.

The patch is straightforward, except for the change to the
'rebuild_initrd' function.  Instead of making the module list
conditional on whether virtio-net is available and using the old
(probably wrong) fallback if it happens to be unavailable, this now
tries to enable the common virtio kernel modules (just the ones needed
for virtio-blk and virtio-net to work).  The fallback is only used if
none of the common virtio modules can be found.

the ISA pvpanic device.

Should this consider both virtio-net+virtio-blk to determine that a
kernel "supports virtio"?

Just stumbled upon this bit in v2v/convert_linux.ml:

    if family = `SUSE_family then (
      (* Remove xen modules from INITRD_MODULES and DOMU_INITRD_MODULES. *)
      let variables = ["INITRD_MODULES";
"DOMU_INITRD_MODULES"] in
      let xen_modules = ["xennet"; "xen-vnif";
"xenblk"; "xen-vbd"] in

should the list above be updated with the newer names of the Xen
modules?
