912170 – memoryStats fail did not raise libvirtError

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Gunannan Ren 2013-04-18 12:29:14 UTC

commit 4b143ab23173000d1afa258726be0ff38cf2b386
Author: Guannan Ren <gren>
Date:   Thu Mar 21 11:24:49 2013 +0800

    python: fix bindings that don't raise an exception
    
    For example:
     >>> dom.memoryStats()
     libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid:\
             domain is not running
    
    There are six such python API functions like so.
    The root reason is that generator.py script checks the type of return
    value of a python stub function defined in libvirt-api.xml or
    libvirt-override-api.xml to see whether to add the raise clause or not
    in python wrapper code in libvirt.py.
    
    The type of return value is supposed to be C types.
    For those stub functions which return python non-integer data type like
    string, list, tuple, dictionary, the existing type in functions varies
    from each other which leads problem like this.
    
    Currently, in generator.py, it maintains a buggy whitelist for stub functions
    returning a list type. I think it is easy to forget adding new function name
    in the whitelist.
    
    This patch makes the value of type consistent with C type "char *"
    in libvirt-override-api.xml. For python, any of types could be printed
    as string, so I choose "char *" in this case. And the comment in xml
    could explain it when adding new function definition.
    
          <function name='virNodeGetCPUStats' file='python'>
            ...
     -      <return type='virNodeCPUStats' info='...'/>
     +      <return type='char *' info='...'/>
            ...
          </function>

Wayne, please test this backport patch. Don't make any regression is the point.
Thanks.

As far all affected API works fine.

I used qemu-kvm-rhev which support IO throttling. The verification steps like:

# rpm -q libvirt qemu-kvm-rhev

It seems work well, so I change the status to VIRIFIED.

Comment 12 Jincheng Miao 2013-08-22 14:43:28 UTC

Sorry, I miss the part:
>>> dom1.memoryStats()
libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running

It still do not raise an exception.

Comment 13 Jincheng Miao 2013-08-23 04:28:16 UTC

Sorry for my careless, the problem I met is because I import the original libvirt.py which is backed up in local directory. 

Thanks for Wayne and Guannan Ren's help.

The following is verification steps:

As we seen, for the shutoff domain, each libvirt python API will raise an exception. So I change the status to VERIFIED
