When you happen to have a libvirtd binary compiled with the
libxenlight driver (say you have installed xen-4.1 libraries)
but not running a xen enabled system, then libvirtd fails to start.
The cause is that libxlStartup() returns -1 when failing to initialize
the library, and this propagates to virStateInitialize() which consider
this a failure. We should only exit libxlStartup with an error code
if something like an allocation error occurs, not if the driver failed
to initialize.
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: fix libxlStartup() to not return -1
when failing to initialize the libxenlight library
qemu driver uses a 4K buffer for reading qemu log file. This is enough
when only qemu's output is present in the log file. However, when
debugging messages are turned on, intermediate libvirt process fills the
log with a bunch of debugging messages before it executes qemu binary.
In such a case the buffer may become too small. However, we are not
really interested in libvirt messages so they can be filtered out from
the buffer.
It throws errors as long as the cgroup controller is not available,
regardless of whether we really want to use it to do setup or not,
which is not what we want, fixing it with throwing error when need
to use the controller.
And change "VIR_WARN" to "qemuReportError" for memory controller
incidentally.
We create a temporary file to save memory, and we will remove it after reading
memory to buffer. But we free the variable that contains the temporary filename
before we remove it. So we should free tmp after unlinking it.
strcase{cmp/str} have the drawback of being sensitive to the global
locale; this is unacceptable in a library setting. Prefer a
hard-coded C locale alternative for all but virsh, which is user
facing and where the global locale isn't changing externally.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for c-strcasestr change.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Drop strcasestr, add c-strcase
and c-strcasestr.
* cfg.mk (sc_avoid_strcase): New rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_avoid_strcase): New exception.
* src/internal.h (STRCASEEQ, STRCASENEQ, STRCASEEQLEN)
(STRCASENEQLEN): Adjust offenders.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextEjectMedia):
Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c (namesorter): Document exception.
If qemu quited unexpectedly when we call qemuMonitorJSONHMP(),
libvirt will crash.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. use gdb to attach libvirtd, and set a breakpoint in the function
qemuMonitorSetCapabilities()
2. start a vm
3. let the libvirtd to run until qemuMonitorJSONSetCapabilities() returns.
4. kill the qemu process
5. continue running libvirtd

If the monitor met a error, and we will call qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF().
But we may try to send monitor command after qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF()
returned. Then libvirtd will be blocked in qemuMonitorSend().
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. use gdb to attach libvirtd, and set a breakpoint in the function
qemuConnectMonitor()
2. start a vm
3. let the libvirtd to run until qemuMonitorOpen() returns.
4. kill the qemu process
5. continue running libvirtd

Currently libvirt's default logging is limited and it is difficult to
determine what was happening when a proglem occurred (especially on a
machines where one don't know the detail.) This patch helps to do that
by making additional logging available for the following events:
creating/defining/undefining domains
creating/defining/undefining/starting/stopping networks
creating/defining/undefining/starting/stopping storage pools
creating/defining/undefining/starting/stopping storage volumes.
* AUTHORS: add Naoya Horiguchi
* src/network/bridge_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
src/storage/storage_driver.c: provide more VIR_INFO logging
Not sure if it's the correct way to add cputune xml for xend driver,
and besides, seems "xm driver" and "xen hypervisor" also support
vcpu affinity, do we need to add support for them too?
When domain startup, setting cpu affinity and cpu shares according
to the cputune xml specified in domain xml.
Modify "qemudDomainPinVcpu" to update domain config for vcpupin,
and modify "qemuSetSchedulerParameters" to update domain config
for cpu shares.
v1 - v2:
* Use "VIR_ALLOC_N" instead of "VIR_ALLOC_VAR"
* But keep raising error when it fails on adding vcpupin xml
entry, as I still don't have a better idea yet.
Implementations of following functions:
virDomainVcpupinIsDuplicate
virDomainVcpupinFindByVcpu
virDomainVcpupinAdd
Update "virDomainDefParseXML" to parse, and "virDomainDefFormatXML"
to build cputune xml, also implementations of new internal helper
functions.
v1 - v2:
* Resolve potential crash bug of "virDomainVcpupinAdd"
Also related new functions' declaration, and expose the new introduced
functions in libvirt_private.syms.
v1 - v2:
Don't expose "virAllocVar" in libvirt_private.syms
My earlier testing for commit 34fa0de0 was done while starting
just-built libvirt from an unconfined_t shell, where the fds happened
to work when transferring to qemu. But when installed and run under
virtd_t, failure to label the raw file (with no compression) or the
pipe (with compression) triggers SELinux failures when passing fds
over SCM_RIGHTS to svirt_t qemu.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): When passing
FDs, make sure they are labeled.
First fallout of fd: migration - it looks like SELinux enforcing
_does_ require fd labeling (running uninstalled libvirtd from an
unconstrained shell had no problems, but once faked out by doing
chcon `stat -c %C /usr/sbin/libvirtd` daemon/libvirtd
run_init $PWD/daemon/libvirtd
to run it with the same context as an init script service, and with
SELinux enforcing, I got a rather confusing failure:
error: Failed to save domain fedora_12 to fed12.img
error: internal error unable to send TAP file handle: No file descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS
This fixes the error message, then I need to figure out a subsequent
patch that does the fsetfilecon() necessary to keep things happy.
It also appears that libvirtd hangs on a failed fd transfer; I don't
know if that needs an independent fix.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextSendFileHandle):
Improve message, since TAP is no longer only client.
* src/Makefile.am src/libvirt_private.syms configure.ac: share and
reuse the sexpr routines from sexpr.h of the old xen driver
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: implements libxlDomainXMLFromNative and
libxlDomainXMLToNative
Hook the virtual cpu functions to their libxenlight counterparts
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: implements libxlDomainSetVcpus,
libxlDomainGetVcpus, libxlDomainSetVcpusFlags,
libxlDomainGetVcpusFlags and libxlDomainPinVcpu
* src/libxl/libxl_conf.h: add the necessary fields to the driver
private structure
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: add lifecycle event support and entry
points for event(de)register(any)
New APIs are added allowing streaming of content to/from
storage volumes.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virStorageVolUpload and
virStorageVolDownload APIs
* src/driver.h, src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms: Stub
code for new APIs
* src/storage/storage_driver.c, src/esx/esx_storage_driver.c:
Add dummy entries in driver table for new APIs
The O_NONBLOCK flag doesn't work as desired on plain files
or block devices. Introduce an I/O helper program that does
the blocking I/O operations, communicating over a pipe that
can support O_NONBLOCK
* src/fdstream.c, src/fdstream.h: Add non-blocking I/O
on plain files/block devices
* src/Makefile.am, src/util/iohelper.c: I/O helper program
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/lxc/lxc_driver.c,
src/uml/uml_driver.c, src/xen/xen_driver.c: Update for
streams API change
Spawn the compressor ourselves, instead of requiring the shell.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): Spawn
compression helper process when needed.
SELinux labeling and cgroup ACLs aren't required if we hand a
pre-opened fd to qemu. All the more reason to love fd: migration.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): Skip steps
that are irrelevant in fd migration.
This points out that core dumps (still) don't work for root-squash
NFS, since the fd is not opened correctly. This patch should not
introduce any functionality change, it is just a refactoring to
avoid duplicated code.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.h (qemuMigrationToFile): New prototype.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): New function.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainSaveFlag, doCoreDump): Use
it.
Direct access to an open file is so much simpler than passing
everything through a pipe!
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudOpenAsUID)
(qemudDomainSaveImageClose): Delete.
(qemudDomainSaveImageOpen): Rename...
(qemuDomainSaveImageOpen): ...and drop read_pid argument. Use
virFileOpenAs instead of qemudOpenAsUID.
(qemudDomainSaveImageStartVM, qemudDomainRestore)
(qemudDomainObjRestore): Rename...
(qemuDomainSaveImageStartVM, qemuDomainRestore)
(qemDomainObjRestore): ...and simplify accordingly.
(qemudDomainObjStart, qemuDriver): Update callers.
This patch intentionally doesn't change indentation, in order to
make it easier to review the real changes.
* src/util/util.h (VIR_FILE_OP_RETURN_FD, virFileOperationHook):
Delete.
(virFileOperation): Rename...
(virFileOpenAs): ...and reduce parameters.
* src/util/util.c (virFileOperationNoFork, virFileOperation):
Rename and simplify.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainSaveFlag): Adjust caller.
* src/storage/storage_backend.c (virStorageBackendCreateRaw):
Likewise.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Reflect rename.
Currently, the hook function in virFileOperation is extremely limited:
it must be async-signal-safe, and cannot modify any memory in the
parent process. It is much handier to return a valid fd and operate
on it in the parent than to deal with hook restrictions.
* src/util/util.h (VIR_FILE_OP_RETURN_FD): New flag.
* src/util/util.c (virFileOperationNoFork, virFileOperation):
Honor new flag.
This allows direct saves (no compression, no root-squash NFS) to use
the more efficient fd: migration, which in turn avoids a race where
qemu exec: migration can sometimes fail because qemu does a generic
waitpid() that conflicts with the pclose() used by exec:. Further
patches will solve compression and root-squash NFS.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainSaveFlag): Use new function
when there is no compression.
Latent bug introduced in commit 2d6a581960 (Aug 2009), but not exposed
until commit 1859939a (Jan 2011). Basically, when virExec creates a
pipe, it always marks libvirt's side as cloexec. If libvirt then
wants to hand that pipe to another child process, things work great if
the fd is dup2()'d onto stdin or stdout (as with stdin: or exec:
migration), but if the pipe is instead used as-is (such as with fd:
migration) then qemu sees EBADF because the fd was closed at exec().
This is a minimal fix for the problem at hand; it is slightly racy,
but no more racy than the rest of libvirt fd handling, including the
case of uncompressed save images. A more invasive fix, but ultimately
safer at avoiding leaking unintended fds, would be to _always and
atomically_ open all fds as cloexec in libvirt (thanks to primitives
like open(O_CLOEXEC), pipe2(), accept4(), ...), then teach virExec to
clear that bit for all fds explicitly marked to be handed to the child
only after forking.
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuBuildCommandLine): Clear cloexec
flag.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (testCompareXMLToArgvFiles): Tweak test.
* src/util/logging.c (virLogStartup, virLogSetBufferSize):
Over-allocate, so that a debugger can just print the circular
buffer. Suggested by Daniel Veillard.
* src/Makefile.am (remote_protocol-structs): Flatten tabs.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: Likewise. Also add a hint to emacs
to make it easier to keep spaces in the file.
Otherwise, if something like doStopVcpus fails after the first
restore, a second restore is attempted and throws a useless
warning.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainSaveFlag): Avoid second
restore of state label.
