Hi!
libvirt uses live migration to fd. I got some bugreports recently and
decided to try it without libvirt. So I opened HMP and found "getfd"
command. Then with the help of Stefan I tried to use it. And failed.
I run QEMU as this:
/home/aik/qemu-system-ppc64 \
-enable-kvm \
-m 1024 \
-L /home/aik/qemu-ppc64-bios/ \
-machine pseries \
-trace events=/home/aik/qemu_trace_events \
-initrd 1.cpio \
-kernel vml313 \
-nographic \
-vga none \
-S \
-chardev socket,id=mon,path=/home/aik/qemu.monitor,server,nowait \
-mon chardev=mon,mode=readline \
-chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=10000,server,nowait \
-mon chardev=mon1,mode=readline \
-chardev stdio,id=id0,signal=off \
-device spapr-vty,id=id1,chardev=id0,reg=0x71000100
Here is a python3 script I use for QEMU:
qemu = subprocess.Popen(qq, shell=True)
time.sleep(2)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect("/home/aik/qemu.monitor")
scm_cmd = "/home/aik/socket_scm_helper " + str(sock.fileno()) + "
/home/aik/test1"
p = subprocess.Popen(scm_cmd.split(), close_fds = False)
p.wait()
sock.close()
add_fd()
qemu.wait()
I checked that without this socket_scm_helper magic both monitors work fine
("telnet localhost 10000" and "socat UNIX-CONNECT:./qemu.monitor STDIN"
both give working HMP).
As I see from traces, unix_process_msgfd() receives request and saves fd.
However once socket_scm_helper talked to "mon" (./qemu.monitor), I cannot
get any response from it via "socat UNIX-CONNECT:./qemu.monitor STDIN".
And "getfd" command sent to "mon1" responds with "No file descriptor
supplied via SCM_RIGHTS" which is true - the fd belongs to "mon".
I tried IO test 042 and that passes. I looked at
tests/qemu-iotests/socket_scm_helper.c and I did not find where it actually
tries to do anything with the passed file fd. Very confusing.
And here I got stuck. How is it supposed to work? Thanks!
