I've been taking a long hard look at the protocol layer. It has evolved over a long time without any particular direction, and the result is, to say the least, not very organized. These patches take a first step at cleaning up the mess by abstracting out socket operations from the rest of the code. The purpose of this is to allow us to slot in a different connection layer under the

As the start of work to add remote support, I'm taking a close look at the protocol layer in the library. These are some small cleanups. Rich.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-August/msg00005.html This now works, to some extent. The main problem now is that devices are named /dev/ubd[a-] which of course confuses everything. I'm thinking it may be easier to add a udev rule to rename them. Rich.

This is a User-Mode Linux backend for libguestfs. You can select it by doing: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=uml export LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/path/to/vmlinux Note we're reusing the 'qemu' variable in the handle for convenience. QEmu is not involved when using the UML backend. This almost works. UML itself crashes when the daemon tries to connect to the serial port. I suspect it's

Error out early if the path to the socket will not fit into sockaddr_un::sun_path, as we will not be able to connect to it. --- src/launch-unix.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/launch-unix.c b/src/launch-unix.c index 740c554..973e14b 100644 --- a/src/launch-unix.c +++ b/src/launch-unix.c @@ -47,6 +47,12 @@ launch_unix (guestfs_h *g, void *datav, const char

This set of patches fixes virt-rescue rather cleanly. In particular the problems with handling ^C are completely fixed. Work still to be done before this can go upstream: - Shutdown doesn't work properly if you exit the shell. At the moment to exit you must do 'reboot -f'. Future improvements: - An escape sequence and escape commands that could be handled by virt-rescue,

This fixes the main issues in virt-rescue and is usable. There are some enhancements which could be made (in follow up work): - An escape sequence and escape commands that could be handled by virt-rescue, eg. to shut down the appliance, mount or unmount filesystems. - `virt-rescue -i' could be implemented cleanly by performing the right API calls before handing control to the

The previous code: fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK) was technically incorrect, because it would have reset any other flags on the file descriptor.

Hi, continuing what started a couple of weeks ago [1], the attached patch series continues the work in making it easier to build and run libguestfs (in fixed appliance mode) on OSes different than Linux. The provided changes should cause no functional changes on Linux. [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-October/msg00176.html Thanks, -- Pino Pino Toscano (9): build: check

This supersedes the two previous patch series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-March/msg00017.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-March/msg00046.html Rich.

Use libvirt to set up the user network instead of a custom qemu argument. Note this requires a non-upstream patch being discussed on the libvirt mailing list at the moment. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075520#c6 Rich.

Introduce an internal helper to create paths for sockets -- will be useful for changing later the logic for placing sockets. Futhermore, check that the length of sockets won't overflow the buffer for their filenames. --- src/guestfs-internal.h | 1 + src/launch-direct.c | 4 +++- src/launch-libvirt.c | 10 ++++++---- src/launch.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 27

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

Hi, this series switches virt-2v to ocaml-libvirt, embedding the latest version of it from git. This way, it is possible to improve the way v2v connects to libvirt for both input, and output modules, and interacts with libvirt (e.g. no more virsh calls needed in virt-v2v). As side effect, virt-v2v now requires libvirt, as keeping it optional would create too much burden. I could not test all
