Package: libvirt-daemon Version: 1.2.7-6 Severity: grave The parsing of /proc/meminfo in the latest versions of the libvirt packages is flawed. Please remove it until upstream figures out what they're doing.
There have been reports of the parsing failing when running under Xen, but it fails in in other scenarios too; In my case Linux 3.16 (I tested 3.15.8 too) with: [2]cucamonga<~/>grep -i huge /boot/config-3.1* /boot/config-3.15.8:CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE=y /boot/config-3.15.8:CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB=y /boot/config-3.15.8:CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y /boot/config-3.15.8:CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y /boot/config-3.15.8:CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y /boot/config-3.15.8:# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE is not set /boot/config-3.15.8:# CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is not set /boot/config-3.15.8:# CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not set /boot/config-3.16.0:CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE=y /boot/config-3.16.0:CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB=y /boot/config-3.16.0:CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y /boot/config-3.16.0:CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y /boot/config-3.16.0:CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y /boot/config-3.16.0:# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE is not set /boot/config-3.16.0:# CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is not set /boot/config-3.16.0:# CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not set In any case, /proc/meminfo does not always have the items libvirtd assumes it does, and handles that failure poorly. 2014-08-09 18:32:30.722+0000: 3589: info : libvirt version: 1.2.7, package: 6 (root 2014-08-08-16:09:22 bogon) 2014-08-09 18:32:30.722+0000: 3589: error : virAuditOpen:62 : Unable to initialize audit layer: Protocol not supported 2014-08-09 18:32:31.720+0000: 3712: error : virFileGetDefaultHugepageSize:2958 : internal error: Unable to parse /proc/meminfo 2014-08-09 18:32:31.720+0000: 3712: error : virStateInitialize:749 : Initialization of QEMU state driver failed: internal error: Unable to parse /proc/meminfo 2014-08-09 18:32:31.720+0000: 3712: error : daemonRunStateInit:922 : Driver state initialization failed Reverting to libvirt-bin 1.2.4 allows libvirtd to work again. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
