xl vncviewer does not work at all. In this series I fix it. Sadly the protocol spoken by xend and qemu is very bad. xl makes some assumptions about the protocol spoken by qemu which are not currently true. In patch 1 I make some interim changes to qemu have it do what xl already expects, including storing the password in xenstore. (This is no worse than xend, which stores the password in two places already, one of which is overwritten by qemu at startup...) Patches 2-6 are fairly straightforward bugfixes to xl. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/1] vnc, xen: write vnc address and password to xenstore
The xend protocol as actually implemented is:
* xend writes:
/vm/UUID/vncpasswd = "PASS" (n0,rDOMID)
/local/domain/0/backend/vfb/DOMID/0/vncunused = "0" (n0,rDOMID)
/local/domain/0/backend/vfb/DOMID/0/vnc = "1" (n0,rDOMID)
/local/domain/0/backend/vfb/DOMID/0/vnclisten = "ADDR"
(n0,rDOMID)
/local/domain/0/backend/vfb/DOMID/0/vncdisplay = "PORT"
(n0,rDOMID)
/local/domain/0/backend/vfb/DOMID/0/vncpasswd = "PASS"
(n0,rDOMID)
* qemu reads /vm/UUID/vncpasswd and overwrites it with "\0"
* qemu writes
/local/domain/DOMID/console/vnc-port = "PORT" (n0,rDOMID)
* xm vncviewer reads entries from backend/vfb,
as well as console/vnc-port.
Much of this is insane.
xl quite properly does not create anything in backend/vfb for an HVM
domain with no vfb. But xl vncviewer needs to know the port number
and the address and the password.
So, for now, have qemu write these nodes too:
/local/domain/DOMID/console/vnc-listen = "ADDR" (n0,rDOMID)
/local/domain/DOMID/console/vnc-pass = "PASS" (n0,rDOMID)
This corresponds to the protocol actually currently implemented in
libxl.
We will revisit this after the 4.1 release and invent a non-insane
protocol.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/6] libxl: SECURITY: always honour request for vnc password
qemu only sets a password on its vnc display if the value for the -vnc
option has the ",password" modifier. The code for constructing
qemu-dm options was broken and only added this modifier for one of the
cases.
Unfortunately there does not appear to be any code for passing the vnc
password to upstream qemu (ie, in the case where
libxl_build_device_model_args_new is called). To avoid accidentally
running the domain without a password, check for this situation and
fail an assertion. This will have to be revisited after 4.1.

The /local/domain/DOMID/device/vfb/0/backend path is irrelevant.
libxl does not create it, so the branch would never be taken.
Instead, simply read the target paths of interest.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 6/6] libxl: vncviewer: make autopass work properly
The file we write the vnc password to must be rewound back to the
beginning, or the vnc viewer will simply get EOF.
When the syscalls for communicating the password to the vnc client
fail, bomb out with an error messsage rather than blundering on (and
probably producing a spurious password prompt).
Following this patch, xl vncviewer --autopass works, provided the qemu
patch for writing the password to xenstore has also been applied.

The caller must already tolerate the function simply causing the
process to die, because execve can fail like that. Ie,
libxl_exec_vncviewer is already called only after fork. So it seemed
best to have the function always fail the same way.
If we had a function which merely returned the vnc connection info, I
would agree with you that it shouldn''t exit. We should do that in 4.2.
Ian.

Because qemu-xen.h isn''t included by vnc.c, and when I tried to add it
it all became a horrible doom of clashing symbols. This seemed like
the best way out.

Indeed. I thought it best during the freeze to avoid making needless
changes, and also I didn''t want to mix a code style cleanup with my
functional change.

We should do that in 4.2.Even though it might be tolerable to have this function exits, I still don''t see any benefits as opposed to failing with an error, considering that this function returns an integer and the long term plan would be to return an error anyway. It is just a matter of checking the return value in tools/libxl/xl_cmdimpl.c:vncviewer. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Very well, how about this.

It already does. (Nice to see, for a change.)

libxl: vncviewer: make autopass work properly
The file we write the vnc password to must be rewound back to the
beginning, or the vnc viewer will simply get EOF.
When the syscalls for communicating the password to the vnc client
fail, bomb out with an error messsage rather than blundering on (and
probably producing a spurious password prompt).
Following this patch, xl vncviewer --autopass works, provided the qemu
patch for writing the password to xenstore has also been applied.
