value sets the size of VGA framebuffer for QXL device. Default value in

So far we didn't have any option to set video memory size for qemu video
devices. There was only the vram (ram for QXL) attribute but it was valid
only for the QXL video device.
To provide this feature to users QEMU has a dedicated device attribute
called 'vgamem_mb' to set the video memory size. We will use the 'vram'
attribute for setting video memory size for other QEMU video devices.
For the cirrus device we will ignore the vram value because it has
hardcoded video size in QEMU.

QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

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

This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
Add options for tuning segment offloading:
<driver>

</driver>
which control the respective host_ and guest_ properties
of the virtio-net device.
We are not detecting the presence of FIPS from QEMU, but from procfs and
that means it's not QEMU capability. It was decided that we will pass
this flag to QEMU even if it's not supported by old QEMU binaries.

There are two ways how to tell qemu to use huge pages. The first one
is suitable for domains with NUMA nodes: the path to hugetlbfs mount
is appended to NUMA node definition on the command line. The second
one is suitable for UMA domains: here there's this global '-mem-path'
argument that accepts path to the hugetlbfs mount point. However, the
latter case was not used for all the cases that it should be. For
instance:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>

QEMU now supports UEFI with the following command line:
-drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on \
-drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 \
where the first line reflects <loader> and the second one <nvram>.
Moreover, these two lines obsolete the -bios argument.
Note that UEFI is unusable without ACPI. This is handled properly now.
Among with this extension, the variable file is expected to be

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

To date, anyone performing a block copy and pivot ends up with
the destination being treated as <disk type='file'>. While this
works for data access for a block device, it has at least one
noticeable shortcoming: virDomainGetBlockInfo() reports allocation
differently for block devices visited as files (the size of the
device) than for block devices visited as <disk type='block'>
(the maximum sector used, as reported by qemu); and this difference
is significant when trying to manage qcow2 format on block devices
that can be grown as needed.
Of course, the more powerful virDomainBlockCopy() API can already
express the ability to set the <disk> type. But a new API can't
be backported, while a new flag to an existing API can; and it is
also rather inconvenient to have to resort to the full power of
generating XML when just adding a flag to the older call will do
the trick. So this patch enhances blockcopy to let the user flag
when the resulting XML after the copy must list the device as
type='block'.

Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).
The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
<host name='example.org' port='3260'/>
<auth username='myname'>
<secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>
</auth>
</source>

mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>. Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate

future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit). It also prepares to update persistent XML

Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment. In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job. Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.
A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion. But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job. Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job. Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.
Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.
