The AppArmor security driver adds only the path specified in the domain
XML for character devices of type 'pipe'. It should be using <path>.in
and <path>.out. We do this by creating a new vah_add_file_chardev() and
use it for char devices instead of vah_add_file(). Also adjust
valid_path() to accept S_FIFO (since qemu chardevs of type 'pipe' use
fifos). This is https://launchpad.net/bugs/832507
This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
SIGTERM handling for -no-shutdown is already fixed in qemu git and
libvirt can safely use it. The downside is that 0.15.50 version of qemu
can be any qemu compiled from git, even that without the fix for
SIGTERM. However, I think this patch is worth it since excluding 0.15.50
from the check makes testing current qemu with libvirt much easier and
someone running qemu from git should be able to rebuild fixed qemu from
git if they hit the problem with a hang on shutdown.
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: As virStorageVolLookupByPath lookups
all the pool objs of the drivers, breaking when failing on getting
the stable path of the pool will just breaks the whole lookup process,
it can cause the API fails even if the vol exists indeed. It won't get
any benefit. This patch is to fix it.
QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
is supported.
* Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.
commit 984840a2c2 removed the
notification of waiting calls when VIR_NET_CONTINUE messages
arrive. This was to fix the case of a virStreamAbort() call
being prematurely notified of completion.
The problem is that sometimes there are dummy calls from a
virStreamRecv() call waiting that *do* need to be notified.
These dummy calls should have a status VIR_NET_CONTINUE. So
re-add the notification upon VIR_NET_CONTINUE, but only if
the waiter also has a status of VIR_NET_CONTINUE.

arrives
* src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c: Mark dummy stream read packet

If a domain has inactive XML we want to transfer it to destination
when migrating with VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST. In order to harm
the migration protocol as least as possible, a optional cookie was
chosen.
The previous patch removed all snapshots, but not the directory
where the snapshots lived, which is still a form of stale data.
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c (qemuDomainRemoveInactive): Wipe any
snapshot directory.
Commit 282fe1f0 documented that transient domains will auto-delete
any snapshot metadata when the last reference to the domain is
removed, and that management apps are in charge of grabbing any
snapshot metadata prior to that point. However, this was not
actually implemented for qemu until now.

Commit 19f8c98 introduced VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_SNAPSHOTS_METADATA,
with the intent that omitting the flag makes undefine fail, and
including the flag deletes metadata. But it used the wrong logic.
Also, hoist the transient domain sooner, so that we don't
accidentally remove metadata of a transient domain.

Related #BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702260.
There are two problems described in the BZ:
1) "Can't remove open logical volume".
2) "Unable to deactivate logical volume "foo""
This patch just intends to fix 2), as 1) is expected if the vol
is still used by something, and you never known if "lvchange -an"
will fail or not either (sometime, it will succeed, sometimes not).
We'd better not look for trouble, :-)
For 2), that's caused by race between lvremove and udev event handling,
the only workable way now is to wait the events handling are finished,
though it might introduce latencies, as "udevadmin settle" exits
after *all* events are handled, it's the only way we can fix
the racing in libvirt layer.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570359 for more
details.

Once virDomainReboot is called for a domain, guest OS initiated shutdown
would always result in reboot instead of shutdown. Only
virDomainShutdown would actually shutd such domain down. That's because
we forgot to reset fakeReboot flag once we asked the domain to reboot.
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.
This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".
The next patch will add a syntax check that flags this usage in xen
as awkward - while it was valid memory management, it was very hard
to maintain. Swapping to a more traditional allocation may be a bit
slower, but easier to understand.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonListDomainsOld): Use two-level
allocation, rather than abusing allocation function.

Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.
For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and
sanlock_align
Libvirt loads the domain conf from status XML if it's running when
starting up. The problem is there is no record of the original conf.
(dom->newDef is NULL here).
So libvirt won't be able to restore the domain conf to original one
when destroying/shutdown. E.g.
1) attach a device without "--persistent"
2) restart libvirtd
3) destroy domain
4) start domain
One will see the the disk still exists.
This patch is to fix the peoblem by assigning persistent domain conf
to dom->newDef if it's NULL and the domain is running.
Virsh man page lists driver types to be used with attach-device
command, but does not specify that those are usable only with the XEN
Hypervisor.
This patch adds statement, that those options specified are applicable
only on the Xen hypervisor and adds option usable with qemu emulator.
This patch also changes type of error returned by QEMU driver if the
user specifies incompatible driver type from VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR to
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED.

For all types of disks other than qcow2, we were requesting that
SELinux labeling visit the new file as if it were qcow2, which
means labeling would try to find the backing files of an empty file.
And for a pre-existing qcow2 disk, we were passing NULL, which meant
that labelling tried to probe the file type (and if probing is
disabled, per the default qemu.conf, this made snapshots fail).
What we really want is to make SELinux labeling visit the new
file as raw; it will later be converted to qcow2 if qemu successfully
made the snapshot.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Force SELinux labeling
to avoid probe of new file.
For external snapshots to be useful on persistent domains, we must
alter the persistent definition alongside the running definition.
Thanks to the possibility of disk hotplug as well as of edits that
only affect the persistent xml, we can't assume that vm->def and
vm->newDef have the same disk at the same index, so we can only
update the persistent copy if the device destination matches up.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive)
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Also affect newDef, if
present.
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt

Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.
By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.
Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
When a domain is rebooted using libvirt API, we use fake reboot
consisting of shutting down and resetting the domain. Thus we see a
SHUTDOWN event and set gotShutdown flag. But we never reset it back and
if the domain crashes after it was rebooted this way, we consider it was
a normal shutdown and not a crash.
Commit 4454a9efc7 changed shutoff reason
from VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_CRASHED to VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_FAILED in case we
see an unexpected EOF on monitor connection. But FAILED reason is
dedicated for domains that fail to start. CRASHED reason is the right
one to use in this situation.
Libvirt special-cases a specific VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote driver
back into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT on the client, so that clients can
handle missing rpc functions the same whether the hypervisor driver
is local or remote. However, commit c1b22644 introduced a regression:
VIR_FROM_THIS changed from VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC, so the
special casing no longer works if the server uses the newer error
domain.

Adjust qemuMigrationRun() to use migMaxBandwidth in qemuDomainObjPrivate

The qemu migration speed default is 32MiB/s as defined in migration.c
/* Migration speed throttling */
static int64_t max_throttle = (32 << 20);
There's no need to throttle migration when targeting a file, so set migration
speed to unlimited prior to migration, and restore to libvirt default value
after migration.
Default units is MB for migrate_set_speed monitor command, so
(INT64_MAX / (1024 * 1024)) is used for unlimited migration speed.
Tested with both json and text monitors.
