Using more than 4TiB of memory per NUMA node would not be possible to
express in the XML without violating the schema. Not that such boxes
would be common, but we should use a longer type at this point.
The pattern is not necessary since libvirt redefines the type already in
basictypes.rng with the same pattern.

As it turned out, we need to share some enums and declarations between
libvirt.h and libvirt-admin.h, but since our policy forbids direct includes of
libvirt*.h, there has to be some header exempt from this rule. This patch moves
the relevant part of code from libvirt.h.in to libvirt-common.h.in. Moreover,
since there is no need to have libvirt.h generated anymore, introduce a new
header libvirt.h which was previosly ignored from git and make the common
header ignored and generated instead.
qemu 2.5 provides virtio video device. It can be used with -device
virtio-vga for primary devices, or -device virtio-gpu for non-vga
devices. However, only the primary device (VGA) is supported with this

'model' attribute was added to a panic device but only one panic
device is allowed. This patch changes panic device presence
from 'optional' to 'zeroOrMore'.
Libvirt already has two types of panic devices - pvpanic and pSeries firmware.
This patch introduces the 'model' attribute and a new type of panic device.
'isa' model is for ISA pvpanic device.
'pseries' model is a default value for pSeries guests.
'hyperv' model is the new type. It's used for Hyper-V crash.
Schema and docs are updated for the new attribute.
Report the maximum possible number of VFs for an SRIOV PF, like this:
<capability type='virtual_functions' maxCount='7'>
...
</capability>
I've just discovered that the virtual_functions and physical_functions
capabilities are not supported in the virNodeDeviceParse functions,
only in virNodeDeviceFormat (I suppose because they are only reported,
not set from XML). This should probably be remedied, but is less
immediately useful than the current patch.
Adjust the config code so that it does not enforce that target memory
node is specified. To avoid breakage, adjust the qemu memory hotplug
config checker to disallow such config for now.

This has been broken for a looong time - in fact, we've been
shipping a mostly-empty NEWS file for at least the past two years.
Including the html namespace and using it for matching elements,
like hacking1.xsl and hacking2.xsl were already doing, makes the
NEWS file useful again.
Add a note explaining that the release list has been split up
by year as well.
There were some inconsistencies, eg. the number of digits used for
the day. The month name was also spelled out instead of abbreviated

There were some inconsistencies; now the section title is always
one of Bug Fixes, Cleanups, Documentation, Features, Improvements,
Portability, Security.
Some of the paragraphs were not properly indented: while this was
not a problem in the HTML version, you could tell the difference
in the plain text version.
The changes for releases earlier than 0.7.1 were mostly lumped
together as opposed to being tidly organized with one change per
line, like we have done from that point onwards.
As a result, they look awful in the HTML version and don't work
too well in the plain text version either.
Luckily, except for the very first releases, the information is

Adds a new interface type using UDP sockets, this seems only applicable

The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local

<interface type='udp'>
<mac address='52:54:00:5c:67:56'/>
<source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>

</source>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
QEMU call:
-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222
Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.

This controller can be connected only to a port on a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. It provides a single hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device, as well as any device requiring a
pcie-*-port (the only current example of such a device is the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).
This controller can be connected only to a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-downstream-port (which will be added in a later patch),
which is the reason for the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_PORT. A pcie-switch-upstream-port provides
32 ports (slot=0 to slot=31) on the downstream side, which can only
have pci controllers of model "pcie-switch-downstream-port" plugged
into them, which is the reason for the other new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_SWITCH.
This controller can be connected (at domain startup time only - not
hotpluggable) only to a port on the pcie root complex ("pcie-root" in
libvirt config), hence the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_ROOT. It provides a hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device.
New attributes must be added to the controller <target> subelement for
this - chassis and port are guest-visible option values that will be
set by libvirt with values derived from the controller's index and pci
address information.
There are some configuration options to some types of pci controllers
that are currently automatically derived from other parts of the
controller's configuration. For example, in qemu a pci-bridge
controller has an option that is called "chassis_nr"; up until now
libvirt has always set chassis_nr to the index of the pci-bridge. So
this:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'/>
will always result in:
-device pci-bridge,chassis_nr=2,...
on the qemu commandline. In the future we may decide there is a better
way to derive that option, but even in that case we will need for
existing domains to retain the same chassis_nr they were using in the
past - that is something that is visible to the guest so it is part of
the guest ABI and changing it would lead to problems for migrating
guests (or just guests with very picky OSes).
The <target> subelement has been added as a place to put the new
"chassisNr" attribute that will be filled in by libvirt when it
auto-generates the chassisNr; it will be saved in the config, then
reused any time the domain is started:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'>
<model type='pci-bridge'/>
<target chassisNr='2'/>
</controller>
The one oddity of all this is that if the controller configuration
is changed (for example to change the index or the pci address
where the controller is plugged in), the items in <target> will
*not* be re-generated, which might lead to conflict. I can't
really see any way around this, but fortunately if there is a
material conflict qemu will let us know and we will pass that on
to the user.
This new subelement is used in PCI controllers: the toplevel
*attribute* "model" of a controller denotes what kind of PCI
controller is being described, e.g. a "dmi-to-pci-bridge",
"pci-bridge", or "pci-root". But in the future there will be different
implementations of some of those types of PCI controllers, which
behave similarly from libvirt's point of view (and so should have the
same model), but use a different device in qemu (and present
themselves as a different piece of hardware in the guest). In an ideal
world we (i.e. "I") would have thought of that back when the pci
controllers were added, and used some sort of type/class/model
notation (where class was used in the way we are now using model, and
model was used for the actual manufacturer's model number of a
particular family of PCI controller), but that opportunity is long
past, so as an alternative, this patch allows selecting a particular
implementation of a pci controller with the "name" attribute of the
<model> subelement, e.g.:
<controller type='pci' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge' index='1'>
<model name='i82801b11-bridge'/>
</controller>
In this case, "dmi-to-pci-bridge" is the kind of controller (one that
has a single PCIe port upstream, and 32 standard PCI ports downstream,
which are not hotpluggable), and the qemu device to be used to
implement this kind of controller is named "i82801b11-bridge".
Implementing the above now will allow us in the future to add a new
kind of dmi-to-pci-bridge that doesn't use qemu's i82801b11-bridge
device, but instead uses something else (which doesn't yet exist, but
qemu people have been discussing it), all without breaking existing
configs.
(note that for the existing "pci-bridge" type of PCI controller, both
the model attribute and <model> name are 'pci-bridge'. This is just a
coincidence, since it turns out that in this case the device name in
qemu really is a generic 'pci-bridge' rather than being the name of
some real-world chip)
"Further" clarification (and testing) shows that using a SCSI Fibre
Channel NPIV device/lun from a storage pool as a <disk type='volume'
device'lun'> will work. So just add that to the allowable options

Rather than calling virDomainHostdevAssignAddress during the parsing

Also move the mention of version numbers for the various PCI
controller models up to the end of the sentence where they are first
given, to avoid confusion.
When support for the pcie-root and dmi-to-pci-bridge buses on a Q35
machinetype was added, I was concerned that even though qemu at the
time allowed plugging a PCI device into a PCIe port, that it might not
be supported in the future. To prevent painful backtracking in the
possible future where this happened, I disallowed such connections
except in a few specific cases requested by qemu developers (indicated
in the code with the flag VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG).
Now that a couple years have passed, there is a clear message from
qemu that there is no danger in allowing PCI devices to be plugged
into PCIe ports. This patch eliminates
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG and changes the code to always
allow PCI->PCIe or PCIe->PCI connection *when the PCI address is
specified in the config. (For newly added devices that haven't yet
been given a PCI address, the auto-placement still prefers using the
correct type of bus).
In my previous fix (1310b1358) I've tried to solve an ordering
issue. Well, while it worked it has a side effect of keeping a
temporary file around. My patch was buggy in that sense. Solve
this by properly marking the dependency without any side effect.

Defining a domain with a SCSI disk attached via a hostdev
tag and a source address unit value longer than two digits
causes an error when editing the domain with virsh edit,
even if no changes are made to the domain definition.
The error suggests invalid XML, somewhere:

The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long. Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits. Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

When generating the path to the dir for a CIFS/Samba driver, the code
would generate a source path for the mount using "%s:%s" while the
mount.cifs expects to see "//%s/%s". So check for the cifsfs and
format the source path appropriately.
Additionally, since there is no means to authenticate, the mount
needs a "-o guest" on the command line in order to anonymously mount
the Samba directory.
Commit id '887dd362' added support for a netfs pool format type 'cifs'
and 'gluster' in order to add rng support for Samba and glusterfs netfs
pools. Originally, the CIFS type support was added as part of commit
id '61fb6979'. Eventually commit id 'b325be12' fixed the gluster rng
definition to match expectations.
As it turns out the CIFS rng needed a similar change since the directory
path is not an absDirPath, rather just a dirPath will be required.

The XML parser sets a default <mode> if none is explicitly passed in.
This is then used at pool/vol creation time, and unconditionally reported
in the XML.
The problem with this approach is that it's impossible for other code
to determine if the user explicitly requested a storage mode. There
are some cases where we want to make this distinction, but we currently
can't.
Handle <mode> parsing like we handle <owner>/<group>: if no value is
passed in, set it to -1, and adjust the internal consumers to handle
it.
- Don't redocument the permissions fields for backingstore, just point to
the volume docs.

Remove the check for the source host name for iSCSI source XML processing
declaring duplicate sources when the source device path and if present the
initiator of a proposed storage pool matches an existing storage pool.
The backend iSCSI storage driver uses 'iscsiadm --mode session' to query
available iscsid target sessions. The output displayed is the IP address
and the IQN (target path) of known targets. The displayed IP address
is a resolved address based on the session --login. Additionally, iscsid
keeps track of the various ways to define the host name (IPv4 Address,
IPv6 Address, /etc/hosts, etc.) for that IQN (see output of an 'iscsiadm
--mode node'). If an incoming IQN matches and the host name provided by
libvirt is resolved to the existing IQN, then iscsid will "reuse" the
session. Although libvirt could do the same name resolution, if there
is a difference, iscsid could still declare two seemingly different sources
to be the same and not create a new session which means libvirt now has
two storage pools looking at the same source. Thus to avoid any strange
host name resolution issues, just rely on iscsid for that and do not
allow multiple pools on the same host to use the same device path (IQN).

A new feature that can be turned on or off.
The QEMU machine vmport option allows to set the VMWare IO port
emulation. This emulation is useful for absolute pointer input when the
guest has vmware input drivers, and is enabled by default for kvm.
However it is unnecessary for Spice-enabled VM, since the agent already
handles absolute pointer and multi-monitors. Furthermore, it prevents
Spice from switching to relative input since the regular ps/2 pointer
driver is replaced by the vmware driver. It is thus advised to disable
vmport when using a Spice VM. This will permit the Spice client to
switch from absolute to relative pointer, as it may be required for
certain games or applications.
The phyp driver stuffed it into a DomainDefPtr during its attachdevice
routine, but the value is never advertised via capabilities so it should
be safe to drop.
Have the phyp driver use OSTYPE_LINUX, which is what it advertises via
capabilities.
With iothreadid's allowing any 'id' value for an iothread_id, the
iothreadsched code needs a slight adjustment to allow for "any"
unsigned int value in order to create the bitmap of ids that will
have scheduler adjustments. Adjusted the doc description as well.
Remove the iothreadspin array from cputune and replace with a cpumask
to be stored in the iothreadids list.
Adjust the test output because our printing goes in order of the iothreadids
list now.
Adding a new XML element 'iothreadids' in order to allow defining
specific IOThread ID's rather than relying on the algorithm to assign
IOThread ID's starting at 1 and incrementing to iothreads count.
This will allow future patches to be able to add new IOThreads by
a specific iothread_id and of course delete any exisiting IOThread.
Each iothreadids element will have 'n' <iothread> children elements
which will have attribute "id". The "id" will allow for definition
of any "valid" (eg > 0) iothread_id value.
On input, if any <iothreadids> <iothread>'s are provided, they will
be marked so that we only print out what we read in.
On input, if no <iothreadids> are provided, the PostParse code will
self generate a list of ID's starting at 1 and going to the number
of iothreads defined for the domain (just like the current algorithm
numbering scheme). A future patch will rework the existing algorithm
to make use of the iothreadids list.
On output, only print out the <iothreadids> if they were read in.

The PortNumber data type is declared to derive from 'short'.
Unfortunately this is an signed type, so validates the range
[-32,768, 32,767] which excludes valid port numbers between
32767 and 65535.
We can't use 'unsignedShort', since we need -1 to be a valid
port number too.
This change is to use 'int' and set an explicit max boundary
instead of relying on the data types' built-in max.
One of the existing tests is changed to use a high port number

This patch preemptively forbids use of the <memory> device in individual

To avoid possible confusion and misuse of the new element this patch
also explicitly forbids the use of the maxMemory setting in individual

Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA

don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded

VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED. Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.

According to the formatstorage.html description for <source> element
and "format" attribute: "All drivers are required to have a default

As it turns out the disk backend did not choose a default value, so I

updating the storage.html backend disk volume driver documentation to

Our documentation isn't 100% clear about hostdev 'managed' attribute usage,

There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.
Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

The macTableManager attribute of a network's bridge subelement tells
libvirt how the bridge's MAC address table (used to determine the
egress port for packets) is managed. In the default mode, "kernel",
management is left to the kernel, which usually determines entries in
part by turning on promiscuous mode on all ports of the bridge,
flooding packets to all ports when the correct destination is unknown,
and adding/removing entries to the fdb as it sees incoming traffic
from particular MAC addresses. In "libvirt" mode, libvirt turns off
learning and flooding on all the bridge ports connected to guest
domain interfaces, and adds/removes entries according to the MAC
addresses in the domain interface configurations. A side effect of
turning off learning and unicast_flood on the ports of a bridge is
that (with Linux kernel 3.17 and newer), the kernel can automatically
turn off promiscuous mode on one or more of the bridge's ports
(usually only the one interface that is used to connect the bridge to
the physical network). The result is better performance (because
packets aren't being flooded to all ports, and can be dropped earlier
when they are of no interest) and slightly better security (a guest
can still send out packets with a spoofed source MAC address, but will
only receive traffic intended for the guest interface's configured MAC
address).
The attribute looks like this in the configuration:
<network>
<name>test</name>
<bridge name='br0' macTableManager='libvirt'/>

This patch only adds the config knob, documentation, and test
cases. The functionality behind this knob is added in later patches.
Fix format of the secret XML in the example. The XML had an extraneous
"type='iscsi'" (which is used by the <disk> definitions)
The world wide node name had a typo in the acronym (wwwn).
The apibuild.py script did not handle whitespace in preprocessor
macros, so it failed to detect constants declared with '# define'
instead of '#define'. Since we now correctly indent our public
header files, we have silently lost all constants from
libvirt-api.xml. This also caused us to not detect formatting
errors in constant docs
This changes the display from:

In making that change I expected my build tree html output to be
regenerated; however, it wasn't because the dependency for the separated
libvirt-storage.h wasn't there. It was only present for libvirt.h.in
So I added each in the order displayed on the docs/html/index.html page
Make was not able to realize the dependencies for html/*.html files when
running 'make -j9 dist'. All the files are generated together with
html/index.html, so simply separating them into another variable and
adding one block into the dependency chain solves the issue.

docs/libvirt-libvirt.html, docs/hvsupport.html have bad hyperlinks. The
same happens for all the html.in files that used <code class='docref'>

The virStoragePoolSourceFindDuplicate only checks the incoming definition
against the same type of pool as the def; however, for "scsi_host" and
"fc_host" adapter pools, it's possible that either some pool "scsi_host"
adapter definition is already using the scsi_hostN that the "fc_host"
adapter definition wants to use or some "fc_host" pool adapter definition
is using a vHBA scsi_hostN or parent scsi_hostN that an incoming "scsi_host"
definition is trying to use.
This patch adds the mismatched type checks and adds extraneous comments
to describe what each check is determining.
This patch also modifies the documentation to be describe what scsi_hostN
devices a "scsi_host" source adapter should use and which to avoid. It also
updates the parent definition to specifically call out that for mixed
environments it's better to define which parent to use so that the duplicate
pool checks can be done properly.
Add attribute to set vgamem_mb parameter of QXL device for QEMU. This
value sets the size of VGA framebuffer for QXL device. Default value in

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
The docs describing the <host> element that are under the <source>
element in the XML document were incorrectly placed under the <disk>
element. Move them to the correct place.
To track state of virtio channels this patch adds a new output-only
attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.
Since 1.2.8 it's possible to use OVMF on domains. Moreover, it's
possible to have libvirt create NVRAM file per domain. Later,
when domain is undefined, the file is removed too. However,
things are a bit complicated when domain's transient. There's no
undefine to transient domains. There are two options: 1) leave
the file behind and let mgmt app remove it. 2) remove it
automatically as domain dies.
But, in some scenarios mgmt app may want to preserve the file,
copy it somewhere safe, and then copy it back when the domain is
starting again. And this wouldn't be possible with case 2). So,
even though case 1) leaves some files behind (possibly undeleted
for a long time), the files themselves are small (128K each). And
data loss is worse than full disk, isn't it?

Rather than just picking the first CD (or failing that, HDD) we come
across, if the user has picked a boot device ordering with <boot
order=''>, respect that (and just try to boot the lowest-index device).
Adds two sets of tests to bhyve2xmlargv; 'grub-bootorder' shows that we
pick a user-specified device over the first device in the domain;
'grub-bootorder2' shows that we pick the first (lowest index) device.
The API docs generators were broken by the header file
re-organization. Specifically
* html/libvirt-libvirt.html was empty (and should be deleted)
* Makefile.am didn't install html/libvirt-libvirt-*.html
* hvsupport.html was mostly empty
* sitemap.html.in didn't list the new html/*.html files

Introduce a 'managed' attribute to allow libvirt to decide whether to
delete a vHBA vport created via external means such as nodedev-create.
The code currently decides whether to delete the vHBA based solely on
whether the parent was provided at creation time. However, that may not
be the desired action, so rather than delete and force someone to create
another vHBA via an additional nodedev-create allow the configuration of
the storage pool to decide the desired action.
During createVport when libvirt does the VPORT_CREATE, set the managed
value to YES if not already set to indicate to the deleteVport code that
it should delete the vHBA when the pool is destroyed.
If libvirtd is restarted all the memory only state was lost, so for a
persistent storage pool, use the virStoragePoolSaveConfig in order to
write out the managed value.
Because we're now saving the current configuration, we need to be sure
to not save the parent in the output XML if it was undefined at start.
Saving the name would cause future starts to always use the same parent
which is not the expected result when not providing a parent. By not
providing a parent, libvirt is expected to find the best available
vHBA port for each subsequent (re)start.
At deleteVport, use the new managed value to decide whether to execute
the VPORT_DELETE. Since we no longer save the parent in memory or in
XML when provided, if it was not provided, then we have to look it up.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160565
The existing code assumed that the configuration of a 'parent' attribute
was correct for the createVport path. As it turns out, that may not be
the case which leads errors during the deleteVport path because the
wwnn/wwpn isn't associated with the parent.
With this change the following is reported:
error: Failed to start pool fc_pool_host3
error: XML error: Parent attribute 'scsi_host4' does not match parent 'scsi_host3' determined for the 'scsi_host16' wwnn/wwpn lookup.
for XML as follows:
<pool type='scsi'>
<name>fc_pool</name>
<source>
<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host4' wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
</source>
Where 'nodedev-dumpxml scsi_host16' provides:
<device>
<name>scsi_host16</name>
<path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:10:00.0/host3/vport-3:0-11/host16</path>

We still default to bhyveloader(1) if no explicit bootloader
configuration is supplied in the domain.
If the /domain/bootloader looks like grub-bhyve and the user doesn't
supply /domain/bootloader_args, we make an intelligent guess and try
chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists,
under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source).
Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is
a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload
already assumes that the first disk should be booted.)
I've tested both HDD and CD boot and they seem to work.

Enabling this to accept the 'unit' in which memory needs to be specified.
This now allows users to specify memory in units of choice, and
lists the same in 'KiB' -- just like other 'memory' elements in XML.
