This small helper is responsible for generating Dom0 JSON config
stub and writing Dom0 xenstore entries. This helpers subsumes two calls
to xenstore-write in xencommons script.

This adds the systemd xen service / module files and integrates
support into the build system.
This goes in with AX_AVAILABLE_SYSTEMD() which will enable
systemd if development libraries have been found on your
build system. If you don't have systemd on target systems
for binaries built with systemd then the binary will not
work, you must explicitly disable systemd support if you
do not want to build systemd support.
When systemd libraries are present only systems that
have booted into systemd go through the systemd initialization,
otherwise the SysVinit is used.
These are originally based on the Fedora systemd files.
Changes made from Fedora's systemd files:
* split sockets into two files to claim different permissions
* Use /bin/sh -c exec to for a simple launcher implementation
* enables systemd socket activation for C xenstored and Ocaml
oxenstored
* use sd_notify(), so change the service to Type=notify, because of
this we remove the PIDFile specification as we don't care for it, and let
systemd do its magic for us, this also means we don't have to fork
so we use --no-fork with systemd
* defines a modules-load.d, its original source file will be shared
between systemd and old init systems
* simplify service files with ConditionVirtualization=xen which uses
the built in systemd virtualization backend detection, these
service files will not be available to start on systems that do not
boot with xen as a hypervisor
* use autoconf to replace @variable@ paths for us which piggy
backs on top of the latest autoconf changes to xen
* removes oxenstored service file in favor of a system variable which
controls which which xentored to use at run time, we avoid multiple
service files this way.
* simplifies startup to not require polling on the sockets
as initial socket management is handled by systemd, we just
take on the socket later once anything pokes at it, a simple nc -U
(as root) on any of the sockets files can activate the service for example.
Anything queued up will be sent to us once we start. Socket activation
should in theory also let us dynamically switch between xenstores but more
importantly we could upgrade xenstored while keeping all active
socket communication queued up, but in order to take advantage of
this we eventually would need to remove the requirement of not being
able to bring down the xenstored. Even though active sockets are
supported since most libxl communication doesn't triggger a check
on the unix socket first administrators are encouraged to enable
the xenstored.service to triggger an initialization of the xenstored
upon bring up. Some systems also never use unix sockets for
communication with the xenstored and as such active sockets will
not be used there.
* allow for xenstored configuration through *either* of these
configuration files:
- /etc/sysconfig/xenstored
- /etc/default/xenstored
The /etc/default/xenstored will let debian based systems do
the same, while SUSE/OpenSUSE/Fedora/RedHat can keep on chugging
with sysconfig. We leave these files all commented out by default
though given that for systemd we want to encourage not using them.
* ensures we create the run directory as most systems will likely
be using a tmpfs for run dirs for the pid files
* Some systems define the selinux context in the systemd Option for the
/var/lib/xenstored tmpfs:
Options=mode=755,context="system_u:object_r:xenstored_var_lib_t:s0"
For the upstream version we remove that and let systems specify the
context on their system /etc/default/xenstored or /etc/sysconfig/xenstored
$XENSTORED_MOUNT_CTX variable, with a default to none.
* takes advantage of the shared xendomains helper for the xendomains
service
* Add the new dom0 that gets kicked off for disk backend access into
its own systemd service associated to xen
We end up with these systemd files:
General requirements:
* proc-xen.mount
* var-lib-xenstored.mount
xenstored:
* xenstored.service
* xenstored.socket
* xenstored_ro.socket
* xenconsoled.service
* xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service.in
Optional:
* xendomains.service
* xen-watchdog.service
As for integration with xen, we house keep all the systemd files
under a new directory tools/hotplug/Linux/systemd/ and will be targeted
by default when building on Linux systems if systemd development
libraries are present at build time.
The systemd files will be sanitized for meta @VARIABLES@ upon
configuration and installed upon the install target. Systems that
do not use systemd can still get systemd service unit files installed
if the build system enabled systemd support, this however does not
mandate a requirement of having systemd libraries present. Old init
scripts are always installed.
If you don't specify a prefix you will end up with the services
files under /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/ by default, and systemd
modules-load.d conf files under /usr/local/lib/modules-load.d/ which
systemd does look for (although it seems this is not documented).
Distributions are expected to provide their /usr/ prefix to end up in
the more generic location upon distribution install at
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ and /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ respectively.

As it stands oxenstored will be used by default if ocaml tools are
found, the init system will also try to use oxenstored first if its
found otherwise the cxenstored will be used. Lets simplify the init
script and let users be explicit about the preference through configure.
This adds support to let you be explicit about the xenstored preference,
you can only use one of these two options:
./configure --with-xenstored=xenstored
./configure --with-xenstored=oxenstored
We continue with the old behaviour and default oxenstored will be used
but only if you have ocaml dependencies. Since the xenstored preference
is explicit now and since we require configure substitutions for it we
make use of the AX_XEN_EXPAND_CONFIG() helpers as otherwise substitution
for SBINDIR is not propagated from the top level configuration.
All this allows us to simplify the init script to use the configured
xenstore from the start. We update the sysconfig/default xencommons file
with the paths for the different options though, this can be used by
users to override the default xenstored, this follows the old behaviour
but we now just explicitly provide the full configured paths for users.
As before, changing the xenstore requires a reboot.
In order to help with documentation we update the README with some
details on configure usage refer to the wiki [0] [1] [2] for more elaborate
details.
Since we are now parsing an entry within Paths.mk.in on tools we let
the move the parsing of the file to be the tool's configure.

When a HVM guest is shutdown some of the 'remove' events can not claim

After analyzing the resulting logfile its not obvious what the cause is.
The only explanation is that bash (?) gets confused if the same lockfd
is opened again and again. Closing it in each iteration seem to fix the

These are provided using the "script=" syntax described in
docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt.
The existing hotplug scripts currently conflate two different
concepts, namely that of making a datapath available in the backend
domain (logging into iSCSI LUNs and the like) and that of actually
connecting that datapath to a Xen backend path (e.g. writing
"physical-device" node in xenstore to bring up blkback).
For this reason the script support implemented here is only supported
in conjunction with backendtype=phy.
Eventually we hope to rework the hotplug scripts to separate the to
concepts, but that is not 4.2 material.
In addition there are some other subtleties:
- Previously in the blktap case we would add "script = .../blktap" to
the backend flex array, but then jumped to the PHY case which added
"script = .../block" too. The block one takes precendence since it
comes second.
This was, accidentally, correct. The blktap script is for blktap1
devices and not blktap2 devices. libxl completely manages the
blktap2 side of things without resorting to hotplug scripts and
creates a blkback device directly. Therefore the "block" script is
always the correct one to call. Custom script are not supported in
this context.
- libxl should not write the "physical-device" node. This is the
responsibility of the block script. Writing the "physical-device"
node in libxl basically completely short-cuts the standard block
hotplug script which uses "physical-device" to know if it has run
already or not.
In the case of more complex scripts libxl cannot know the right
value to write here anyway, in particular the device may not exist
until after the script is called.
This change has the side effect of re-enabling the checks for
device sharing aspect of the default block script, which I have tested
and which now cause libxl to properly abort now that libxl properly
checks for hotplug script errors.
There is no sharing check for blktap2 since even if you reuse the
same vhd the resulting tap device is different. I would have preferred
to simply write the "physical-device" node for the blktap2 case but
the hotplug script infrastructure is not currently setup to handle
LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VBD
devices without a hotplug script (backendtype phy and tap both end
up as KIND_VBD). Changing this was more surgery than I was happy doing
for 4.2 and therefore I have simply hardcoded to the block script for
the LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_TAP case.
- libxl__device_disk_set_backend running against a phy device with a
script cannot stat the device to check its properties since it may
not exist until the script is run. Therefore I have special cased
this in disk_try_backend to simply assume that backend == phy is
always ok if a script was
configured. Similarly the other backend types are always rejected
if a script was configured.
Note that the reason for implementing the default script behaviour
in device_disk_add instead of libxl__device_disk_setdefault is
because we need to be able to tell when the script was
user-supplied rather than defaulted by libxl in order to correctly
implement the above. The setdefault function must be idempotent so
we cannot simply update disk->script.
I suspect that for 4.3 a script member should be added to
libxl__device, this would also help in the case above of handling
devices with no script in a consistent manner. This is not 4.2
material.
- When the block script falls through and shells out to a block-$type
script it used to pass "$node" however the only place this was
assigned was in the remove+phy case (in which case it contains the
file:// derived /dev/loopN device), and in that case the script
exits without falling through to the block-$type case.
Since libxl never creates a type other than phy this never happens
in practice anyway and we now call the correct block-$type script
directly. But fix it up anyway since it is confusing.
- The block-nbd and block-enbd scripts which we supply appear to be
broken WRT the hotplug calling convention, in that they seem to
expect a command line parameter (perhaps the $node described above)
rather than reading the appropriate node from xenstore.
I rather suspect this was broken by 7774:e2e7f47e6f79 in November
2005. I think it is safe to say no one is using these scripts! I
haven't fixed this here. It would be good to track down some working
scripts and either incorproate them or defer to them in their existing
home (e.g. if they live somewhere useful like the nbd tools
package).
- Added a few block script related entries to check-xl-disk-parse
from http://backdrift.org/xen-block-iscsi-script-with-multipath-support
and http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2008-September/010221.html /
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-emb/s-xen-configure-domu.html (and
snuck in another interesting empty CDROM case)
This highlighted two bugs in the libxlu disk parser handling of the
deprecated "<script>:" prefix:
- It was failing to prefix with "block-" to construct the actual
script name
- The regex for matching iscsi or drdb or e?nbd was incorrect
- Use libxl__abs_path for the nic script too. Just because the
existing code nearly tricked me into repeating the mistake
I have tested with a custom block script which uses "lvchange -a" to
dynamically add remove the referenced device (simulates iSCSI
login/logout without requiring me to faff around setting up an iSCSI
target). I also tested on a blktap2 system.
I haven't directly tested anything more complex like iscsi: or nbd:
other than what check-xl-disk-parse exercises.

concepts, but that is not 4.2 material.
In addition there are some other subtleties:
- Previously in the blktap case we would add "script = .../blktap" to
the backend flex array, but then jumped to the PHY case which added
"script = .../block" too. The block one takes precendence since it
comes second.
This was, accidentally, correct. The blktap script is for blktap1
devices and not blktap2 devices. libxl completely manages the
blktap2 side of things without resorting to hotplug scripts and
creates a blkback device directly. Therefore the "block" script is
always the correct one to call. Custom script are not supported in
this context.
- libxl should not write the "physical-device" node. This is the
responsibility of the block script. Writing the "physical-device"
node in libxl basically completely short-cuts the standard block
hotplug script which uses "physical-device" to know if it has run
already or not.
In the case of more complex scripts libxl cannot know the right
value to write here anyway, in particular the device may not exist
until after the script is called.
This change has the side effect of re-enabling the checks for
device sharing aspect of the default block script, which I have tested
and which now cause libxl to properly abort now that libxl properly
checks for hotplug script errors.
There is no sharing check for blktap2 since even if you reuse the
same vhd the resulting tap device is different. I would have preferred
to simply write the "physical-device" node for the blktap2 case but
the hotplug script infrastructure is not currently setup to handle
LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VBD
devices without a hotplug script (backendtype phy and tap both end
up as KIND_VBD). Changing this was more surgery than I was happy doing
for 4.2 and therefore I have simply hardcoded to the block script for
the LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_TAP case.
- libxl__device_disk_set_backend running against a phy device with a
script cannot stat the device to check its properties since it may
not exist until the script is run. Therefore I have special cased
this in disk_try_backend to simply assume that backend == phy is
always ok if a script was
configured. Similarly the other backend types are always rejected
if a script was configured.
Note that the reason for implementing the default script behaviour
in device_disk_add instead of libxl__device_disk_setdefault is
because we need to be able to tell when the script was
user-supplied rather than defaulted by libxl in order to correctly
implement the above. The setdefault function must be idempotent so
we cannot simply update disk->script.
I suspect that for 4.3 a script member should be added to
libxl__device, this would also help in the case above of handling
devices with no script in a consistent manner. This is not 4.2
material.
- When the block script falls through and shells out to a block-$type
script it used to pass "$node" however the only place this was
assigned was in the remove+phy case (in which case it contains the
file:// derived /dev/loopN device), and in that case the script
exits without falling through to the block-$type case.
Since libxl never creates a type other than phy this never happens
in practice anyway and we now call the correct block-$type script
directly. But fix it up anyway since it is confusing.
- The block-nbd and block-enbd scripts which we supply appear to be
broken WRT the hotplug calling convention, in that they seem to
expect a command line parameter (perhaps the $node described above)
rather than reading the appropriate node from xenstore.
I rather suspect this was broken by 7774:e2e7f47e6f79 in November
2005. I think it is safe to say no one is using these scripts! I
haven't fixed this here. It would be good to track down some working
scripts and either incorproate them or defer to them in their existing
home (e.g. if they live somewhere useful like the nbd tools
package).
- Added a few block script related entries to check-xl-disk-parse
from http://backdrift.org/xen-block-iscsi-script-with-multipath-support
and http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2008-September/010221.html /
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-emb/s-xen-configure-domu.html (and
snuck in another interesting empty CDROM case)
This highlighted two bugs in the libxlu disk parser handling of the
deprecated "<script>:" prefix:
- It was failing to prefix with "block-" to construct the actual
script name
- The regex for matching iscsi or drdb or e?nbd was incorrect
- Use libxl__abs_path for the nic script too. Just because the
existing code nearly tricked me into repeating the mistake
I have tested with a custom block script which uses "lvchange -a" to
dynamically add remove the referenced device (simulates iSCSI
login/logout without requiring me to faff around setting up an iSCSI
target). I also tested on a blktap2 system.
I haven't directly tested anything more complex like iscsi: or nbd:
other than what check-xl-disk-parse exercises.

Since most of the needed work is already done in previous patches,
this patch only contains the necessary code to call hotplug scripts
for nic devices, that should be called when the device is added or
removed from a guest.
Added another parameter to libxl__get_hotplug_script_info, that is
used to know the number of times hotplug scripts have been called for
that device. This is currently used by IOEMU nics on Linux.

We will chain the launch of the disk hotplug scripts after the
device_backend_callback callback, or directly from
libxl__initiate_device_{add,remove} if the device is already in the
desired state.

This is from an old Debian bug at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=437127
I'm slightly inferring what the configuration which trigger this issue is, the
bug report says:
This code however fails if no slash is present in the address, which is the
case in my configuration:
$ ip addr show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:16:17:90:b4:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 88.198.12.XXX peer 88.198.12.XXX/32 brd 88.255.255.255 scope global eth0
I hope either Marc or Stefan can correct me if I have surmised wrongly what
this configuration represents.
This function is used in the vif-route configuration.
