[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 for-4.5 1/5] libxl: add support for 'channels'
A 'channel':
- is a low-bandwidth private communication channel that resembles
a physical serial port.
- is implemented as a PV console with a well-known string name
which is used to hook the channel to the appropriate software
in the guest (i.e. some kind of guest agent).
- has a backend 'connection' which describes what should happen
to the data.
The following 'connection' types are defined:
* PTY: the I/O surfaces as a pty in the backend domain
* SOCKET: a listening Unix domain socket accepts a connection in
the backend domain and proxies
Channels may be listed but don't currently support hotplug/unplug.

+Xen PV Channels
+===============
+
+A channel is a low-bandwidth private byte stream similar to a serial
+link. Typical uses of channels are
+
+ 1. to provide initial configuration information to a VM on boot
+ (example use: CloudStack's cloud-early-config service)
+ 2. to signal/query an in-guest agent
+ (example use: oVirt's guest agent)
+
+Channels are similar to virtio-serial devices and emulated serial links.
+Channels are intended to be used in the implementation of libvirt <channel>s
+when running on Xen.
+
+Note: if an application requires a high-bandwidth link then it should use
+vchan instead.
+
+How to use channels: an example
+-------------------------------
+
+Consider a cloud deployment where VMs are cloned from pre-made templates,
+and customised on first boot by an in-guest agent which sets the IP address,
+hostname, ssh keys etc. To install the system the cloud administrator would
+first:
+
+ 1. Install a guest as normal (no channel configuration necessary)
+ 2. Install the in-guest agent specific to the cloud software. This will
+ prepare the guest to communicate over the channel, and also prepare
+ the guest to be cloned safely (sometimes known as "sysprepping")
+ 3. Shutdown the guest
+ 4. Register the guest as a template with the cloud orchestration software
+ 5. Install the cloud orchestration agent in dom0
+
+At runtime, when a cloud tenant requests that a VM is created from the
template,
+the sequence of events would be:
+
+ 1. A VM is "cloned" from the template
+ 2. A unique Unix domain socket path in dom0 is allocated
+ (e.g. /my/cloud/software/talk/to/domain/<vm uuid>)
+ 3. Domain configuration is created for the VM, listing the channel
+ name expected by the in-guest agent. In xl syntax this would be:
+
+ channel = [ "connection=socket, name=org.my.cloud.software.agent.version1,
+ path = /my/cloud/software/talk/to/domain/<vm uuid>" ]
+
+ 4. The VM is started
+ 5. In dom0 the cloud orchestration agent connects to the Unix domain
+ socket, writes a handshake message and waits for a reply
+ 6. In the guest, a udev rule (part of the guest agent package) is activated
+ by the hotplug event, and it starts the in-guest agent.
+ 7. The in-guest agent completes a handshake with the dom0 agent
+ 8. The dom0 agent transmits the unique VM configuration: hostname, IP
+ address, ssh keys etc etc
+ 9. The in-guest agent receives the configuration and applies it.
+
+Using channels avoids having to use a temporary disk device or network
+connection.
+
+Design recommendations and pitfalls
+-----------------------------------
+
+It's necessary to install channel-specific software (an "agent") into the guest
+before you can use a channel. By default a channel will appear as a device
+which could be mistaken for a serial port or regular console. It is known
+that some software will proactively seek out serial ports and issue AT commands
+at them; make sure such software is disabled!
+
+Since channels are identified by names, application authors must ensure their
+channel names are unique to avoid clashes. We recommend that channel names
+include parts unique to the application such as a domain names. To assist
+prevent clashes we recommend authors add their names to our global channel
+registry at the end of this document.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+Hotplug and unplug of channels is not currently implemented.
+
+Channel name registry
+---------------------
+
+It is important that channel names are globally unique. To help ensure
+that no-one's name clashes with yours, please add yours to this list.
