RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
People with FreeBSD 13.2 or later as a guest are also now able to use Netlink to get their IP address changes reported instantly (rather than having to wait for as much as 1 minute).
This is however not yet part of our CI jobs, as we rely on
cross-rs
, which for now only provides FreeBSD 12 cross-build support. Your choices to try it:Don't forget to
kldload netlink
first, the Netlink support is not active by default! -
RE: Xen Orchestra netbox sync error
@sb2014 this address reporting looks buggy, can you please share some guest information (OS type and version, guest agent version reported by XO)?

RE: Guest running kernel 6.8 hangs after a while
Raised this on IRC, resulting in:
I'll see what I can do, we may still have some time to include this before the release
I guess that's pretty much all we can do on our side (and that's nice from them ).

RE: Guest running kernel 6.8 hangs after a while
Catching up with the subject...
The good news first: the patch is already in the 6.8 stable branch (as c8b7b2f158d9d4fb89cd2f68244af154f7549bb4), and part of v6.8.5.
The Ubuntu situation is:
- master kernel branch OTOH has been at v6.8.4 for 12 days, with only minor packaging adjustments since then
- latest tag on master is 6.8.0-25 (only used for lowlatency kernel as of today), based on v6.8.1
- they also have a 6.8.0-26 and changelog entries for -27 on master-next (all about s390)
- standard kernel at 6.8.0-22, based on v6.8.1 too
I'm not familiar with their internal processes, but I suspect they're probably in a validation cycle for upcoming upcoming version right now, and any such fix would have to wait for next one.
The tracker ticket for 6.8.0-27 seems to imply -27 packaging is "in progress". Still digging...

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
@Tristis-Oris said in New Rust Xen guest tools:
@Theo main point to avoid such issues without tuning the OS.
easy way - disable selinux.I'd like to point out, while this is useful to test the tools, it is not recommended to do that on a production VM - sorry if that sound obvious, but better safe than sorry

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
We just released version 0.4.0. Biggest highlight is that it is not necessary any more to have
libxenstore
separately installed in guests, so the new RPM is now compatible with RHEL/CentOS and similar distros.Details to be found at https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/releases/0.4.0

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
@forbiddenera FreeBSD support is already there, and binaries are available since v0.3.0 release. However, full support making use of Netlink (supported since FreeBSD 13.2) is not to be considered as mature yet, only due to the need to use still-unofficial patches on some dependencies -- full status here.
Windows support is also coming, but requires more work than FreeBSD did, you can follow the status of the first meaningful step (communicating collected info back to host) here. Right now a few other tasks take precedence, expect things to move forward again within a few weeks.

@ajpri1998 We have a tracking issue set up for progress on that front.

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
@lawrencesystems thanks for those details, I could identify 2 specific issues from this, will fix that for 0.3.0:

RE: Memory Consumption goes higher day by day
@dhiraj26683 if it was used by a process it would be counted in
used
not inbuff/cache
. Those are used by the kernel's Virtual Filesystem subsystem.Now if your problem is that a given process fails to allocate memory while there is so much of the memory in buff/cache, then there may be something to dig in that direction, but we'll need specific symptoms to be able to help.
