libvirt: Properly shutdown libvirtd.service

2015-09-16T20:10:11+00:00

We build libvirt without support for sd_notify (dbus) therefor we have to run libvirtd as a 'forking daemon' (per commit 055744cdbc1526d966091158c8fae2d22c905db4 we pass --daemon) We need to update the systemd service file to reflect this such that the libvirtd.service can be properly stopped. If we ever enable sd_notify support in libvirt we can revert back to using the 'notify' systemd type. Without this change libvirtd continue to run even if the stop command is issued, subsequent attempts to start the service will fail. Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

libvirt: pass correct args when start libvirtd

2015-09-11T19:51:08+00:00

When systemd starts libvirtd we want to make sure we pass the correct arguments to run the daemon. If we fail to do so the libvirtd service will restart about once a minute and not allow for VMs to properly be instantiated. libvirtd now runs with the same args as when we use sysvinit.

libvirt: get libvirt-guests systemd service running

2015-09-11T19:51:07+00:00

While testing libvirt with the new systemd init I found that the libvirt-guests service was failing to run since the libvirt-guests.sh script was not where it was expected. If we are building for systemd init system use the default installation location which is used upstream for the libvirt-guests.sh script. Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

libvirt: enable systemd support

2015-09-10T18:42:43+00:00

Commit d114a62dd8a2121fa3026b83c5b250eb0ee6f21d [libvirt: kill update-rc.d when not using sysvinit] resulted in libvirt services not starting automatically at boot when using systemd. The upstream libvirt package already has the necessary systemd service files so it is just a matter of activating them via the '--with-init-script' configure option and making the recipe use these. We always set '--with-init-script' to 'systemd' regardless of the systemd vs sysvinit DISTRO_FLAG since our sysvinit scripts are external and thus not affected by this setting when building for sysvinit. Both sysvinit and systemd packages will be libvirt-libvirtd, the bbclasses ensure that only the files for one init system will exist in the package, so this 'overloading' is acceptable.

dnsmasq: allow for multiple instances (per libvirt)

2015-09-10T18:42:43+00:00

We have had a persistent issue of contention with multiple instances of dnsmasq. When libvirtd is started it will attempt and fail to create virbr0 that includes a dnsmasq binding (dnsmasq complains that the port is already in use). The root cause being that the base dnsmasq configuration uses the 'default' binding, meaning it will be greedy and bind to all available interfaces, along with any new interfaces that appear. This prevents any new instances of dnsmasq to fail. By changing the base dnsmasq configuration to use 'bind-dynamic' we will be able to create new interfaces and if we want to attach a new dnsmasq instance for the new interface we can, without contention. Overall this change should not change the default behavior (other then fixing the contention) as the 'bind-dynamic' mode will allow the base config to attach to new interfaces which are not be bound to new dnsmasq instances. Removing dnsmasq_exclude_virbr.conf which was a previous (partial) attempt that was made to resolve this issue. Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

libvirt: DEPEND on libxslt-native to fix build issue

2015-09-08T13:59:23+00:00

Configure searches for and sets XSLTPROC and will not get a proper value unless we have made sure libxslt-native is built prior to libvirt. So we need to add it as a DEPENDS. Failing to do this we could end up with libvirt configuring before libxslt-native has built and installed xlstproc in the -native sysroot, resulting potential host contamination or in a potential build error: cat: acl.html.tmp: No such file or directory Makefile:2215: recipe for target 'acl.html' failed (xsltproc is used in the generation of acl.html.tmp) Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield
