Summary: Add support for qemu-kvm's BALLOON_CHANGE event to avoid using monitor in virDomainGetXMLDesc

Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.10.2-12.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Whenever the virDomainGetXMLDesc() function was executed on a domain that was unresponsive, the call also became unresponsive. With this update, QEMU sends the BALLOON_CHANGE event when memory usage on a domain changes so that virDomainGetXMLDesc() no longer has to query an unresponsive domain. As a result, virDomainGetXMLDesc() calls no longer hang in the described scenario.

Looks like an issue with python bindings or python event-test example.

Comment 8 Jiri Denemark 2012-12-11 12:51:19 UTC
Trivial patch that fixes the python event-test example sent for review:

Comment 10 Huang Wenlong 2012-12-14 02:35:46 UTC
Reproduce this bug :
libvirt-0.10.2-10.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.340.el6.x86_64

Verify this bug with :
libvirt-0.10.2-12.el6.x86_64.rpm
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.340.el6.x86_64


1) start a guest 

2) virsh setmeme --live mig 800M 

3) kill -STOP  guest-pid 

4) virsh dumpxml mig 


it can dumpxml immediately ,so mark it verified





Hi, Jiri 

I open other console with "ython /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-0.10.2/events-python/event-test.py" 
but it can not get event about balloon change , is it the expected result ?

Comment 11 Jiri Denemark 2012-12-14 08:34:09 UTC
Well, that's expected with -2.340 build of qemu-kvm, since it does not support this event. On the other hand, you should be able to reproduce this bug with that package, are you sure no virt-manager, vdsm, or anything else that would be also talking to libvirtd was running when you tried to reproduce this? You need qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.344.el6 to see this bug fixed and events reported.

Hi, Jiri 
I re-verify this bug with :

libvirt-0.10.2-12.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.344.el6.x86_64


step as comment 10  , I am sure there is not virt-manager or vdsm or anything else 
event handler about balloon event works well :

myDomainEventBalloonChangeCallback: Domain mig(5) 1047552
myDomainEventBalloonChangeCallback: Domain mig(5) 921600
