No matter what cache mode is used, readonly disks are always safe wrt
migration. Shared disks are required to be readonly or to disable
host-side cache, which makes them safe as well.
With this patch, it's possible to shut down guests in parallel. Parallel
startup was possible before, but this functionality was not documented
properly.
To enable parallel startup set the START_DELAY to 0.
Parallel shutdown has a configurable parameter PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN that
defines the number of machines being shut down in parallel. Enabling
this feature changes the semantics of SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT parameter that is
applied as a cumulative timeout to shutdown all guests on a URI.
A multi-threaded client with event loop may crash if one of its threads
closes a connection while event loop is in the middle of sending
keep-alive message (either request or response). The right place for it
is inside virNetClientIOEventLoop() between poll() and
virNetClientLock(). We should only close a connection directly if no-one
is using it and defer the closing to the last user otherwise. So far we
only did so if the close was initiated by keep-alive timeout.

Lets say I got a volume with '1G' allocation and '10G' capacity. The
available space in the parent pool is '5G'. With the current check for
overcapacity, I can only try to resize to <= '6G'. You see the problem?
With an additional new bool added to determine whether or not to
discourage the use of the supplied MAC address by the bridge itself,
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort had three booleans (well, 2 bools and
an int used as a bool) in the arg list, which made it increasingly
difficult to follow what was going on. This patch combines those three
into a single flags arg, which not only shortens the arg list, but
makes it more self-documenting.
When a tap device for a domain is created and attached to a bridge,
the first byte of the tap device MAC address is set to 0xFE, while the
rest is set to match the MAC address that will be presented to the
guest as its network device MAC address. Setting this high value in
the tap's MAC address discourages the bridge from using the tap
device's MAC address as the bridge's own MAC address (Linux bridges
always take on the lowest numbered MAC address of all attached devices
as their own).
In one case within libvirt, a tap device is created and attached to
the bridge with the intent that its MAC address be taken on by the
bridge as its own (this is used to assure that the bridge has a fixed
MAC address to prevent network outages created by the bridge MAC
address "flapping" as guests are started and stopped). In this case,
the first byte of the mac address is *not* altered to 0xFE.
In the current code, callers to virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort each
make the MAC address modification themselves before calling, which
leads to code duplication, and also prevents lower level functions
from knowing the real MAC address being used by the guest. The problem
here is that openvswitch bridges must be informed about this MAC
address, or they will be unable to pass traffic to/from the guest.
This patch centralizes the location of the MAC address "0xFE fixup"
into virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), meaning 1) callers of this
function no longer need the extra strange bit of code, and 2)
bitNetDevTapCreateBridgeInPort itself now is called with the guest's
unaltered MAC address, and can pass it on, unmodified, to
virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort.
There is no other behavioral change created by this patch.
Nuke the last vestiges of printing pid_t values with the wrong
types, at least in code compiled on mingw64. There may be other
places, but for now they are only compiled on systems where the
existing %d doesn't trigger gcc warnings.
* src/rpc/virnetsocket.c (virNetSocketNew): Use %lld and casting,
rather than assuming any particular int type for pid_t.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRunAsync, virPidWait)
(virPidAbort): Likewise.
(verify): Drop a now stale assertion.
No thanks to 64-bit windows, with 64-bit pid_t, we have to avoid
constructs like 'int pid'. Our API in libvirt-qemu cannot be
changed without breaking ABI; but then again, libvirt-qemu can
only be used on systems that support UNIX sockets, which rules
out Windows (even if qemu could be compiled there) - so for all
points on the call chain that interact with this API decision,
we require a different variable name to make it clear that we
audited the use for safety.
Adding a syntax-check rule only solves half the battle; anywhere
that uses printf on a pid_t still needs to be converted, but that
will be a separate patch.
* cfg.mk (sc_correct_id_types): New syntax check.
* src/libvirt-qemu.c (virDomainQemuAttach): Document why we didn't
use pid_t for pid, and validate for overflow.

Make it easier to detect invalid cross-directory includes, by
adding a syntax check. The check is designed to be extensible:
the default case lists only the non-driver directories, and
specific directories can list a different set (for example,
util/ can only use itself, network/ can only use itself, util/,
or conf/).
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for syntax check improvment.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_cross_inclusion): New check.
(sc_prohibit_strncmp, sc_libvirt_unmarked_diagnostics): Simplify.
Commit 7c90026 added #include "conf/domain_conf.h" to
util/virrandom.c. Fortunately it didn't actually use anything from
domain_conf.h, since as far as I'm aware, files in util aren't allowed
to reference anything in conf (although the opposite is allowed). So
this #include is unnecessary.
I verified it still compiles with the line removed, but have placed a
one day moratorium on me doing any "trivial rule" pushes, so will
wait for someone else to verify/ACK before pushing.
Now virsh can call virDomainBlockRebase.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdBlockPull): Add --base parameter.
(blockJobImpl): Use it to expose BlockRebase API.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockpull): Document it.
This actually wires up the new optional parameter to block_stream:

The error checking is still sparse, since libvirt must not use
qemu-img or header probing on a qcow2 file in use by qemu to
check if the backing file name is valid; so for now, libvirt is
relying on qemu to diagnose an incorrect backing name. Fixing this
will require libvirt to track the entire backing file chain at the
time qemu is started and keeps it updated with snapshot and pull
operations.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob): Add
parameter, and update callers.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h (qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob): Update
signature.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (qemuMonitorBlockJob): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Update caller.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorBlockJob): Likewise.
Block job commands are not part of upstream qemu until 1.1; and
proper support of job completion and cancellation depends on being
able to receive QMP events, which implies the JSON monitor.
Additionally, some early versions of block job commands were
backported to RHEL qemu, but these versions lacked asynchronous
job cancellation and partial block pull, so there are several
patches that will still be needed in this area of libvirt code
to support both flavors of block job commands.
Due to earlier patches in libvirt, we are guaranteed that all versions
of qemu that support block job commands already require libvirt to
use the JSON monitor. That means that the text version of block jobs
will not be used, and having to refactor two copies of the block job
handlers makes no sense. So instead, we delete the text handlers.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorBlockJob): Drop text monitor
support.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h (qemuMonitorTextBlockJob): Delete.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextParseBlockJobOne)
(qemuMonitorTextParseBlockJob, qemuMonitorTextBlockJob):
Likewise.
It's been a while, and we're between releases, so now's as good
a time as any to resync. This also fixes a build-breaker on
cygwin, where cygwin 1.7.11 introduced a header bug in <termios.h>.
* .gnulib: Update to latest.
* bootstrap: Resync.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_strncmp): Copy upstream changes to
sc_prohibit_strcmp.

This code adds a netlink event interface to libvirt.
It is based upon the event_poll code and makes use of
it. An event is generated for each netlink message sent
to the libvirt pid.

In qemu there are 2 cpu models (cpu64-rhel5 and cpu64-rhel6) not
supported by libvirt. This patch adds the support with the flags
specifications from /usr/share/qemu-kvm/cpu-model/cpu-x86_64.conf
The only difference is that AMD-specific features are removed so
the processor type is not vendor-specific. Those features are either
emulated or ignored by qemu if host CPU doesn't support them.
This patch adds a check to the libvirt-guests script to check for the
URI to be alive before attempting any calls. This avoids nasty error
messages and allows us to fail gracefully and continue on other URIs
configured in the script.
The libvirt-guests script tried to do a managed save of transient guest
that failed. This patch notifies which guests are transient (and not
being saved) and saves only the persistent ones.
This patch adds documentation to functions defined in the libvirt-guests
init script and changes use of virsh's new commands to make the script
easier.
The current scrub version doesn't support pfitzner7, pfitzner33 and schneier
patterns on RHEL, we should comment it in virsh man page.
* tools/virsh.pod: update wiping algorithms docs.

This call to virDomainDeviceDefParse is both unnecessary (since
it will again be called at the top of the immediately following if(),
and if not there, then at the top of the if following that), but it
also creates a leak of one virDomainDeviceDef and one [whatever type
of device the DeviceDef is pointing to; probably a virDomainDiskDef]
in the case that the function has been called with
VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_CONFIG (the second parse will overwrite the
devicedef that was just created).
vshFindDisk is to find the disk node in xml doc with given source
path or target of disk device, and type (indicates disk type,
normal disk or changeable disk).
vshPrepareDiskXML is to make changes on the disk node (e.g. create
and insert the new <source> node for inserting media of CDROM drive).
They are marked as unused temporarily.
For any disk controller model which is not "lsilogic", the command
line will be like:
-drive file=/dev/sda,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-3-0,format=raw \
-device scsi-disk,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=3,lun=0,i\
drive=drive-scsi0-0-3-0,id=scsi0-0-3-0
The relationship between the libvirt address attrs and the qdev
properties are (controller model is not "lsilogic"; strings
inside <> represent libvirt adress attrs):
bus=scsi<controller>.0
channel=<bus>
scsi-id=<target>
lun=<unit>
* src/qemu/qemu_command.h: (New param "virDomainDefPtr def"
for function qemuBuildDriveDevStr; new param "virDomainDefPtr
vmdef" for function qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias. Both for
virDomainDiskFindControllerModel's use).
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c:
- New param "virDomainDefPtr def" for qemuAssignDeviceDiskAliasCustom.
For virDomainDiskFindControllerModel's use, if the disk bus is "scsi"
and the controller model is not "lsilogic", "target" is one part of
the alias name.
- According change on qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias and qemuBuildDriveDevStr
* src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c:
- Changes to be consistent with declarations of qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias
qemuBuildDriveDevStr, and qemuBuildControllerDevStr.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pseries-vio-user-assigned.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pseries-vio.args: Update the
generated command line.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new member "target" to struct
_virDomainDeviceDriveAddress.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parse and format "target"
* Lots of tests (.xml) in tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata, tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata, and
tests/vmx2xmldata/ are modified for newly introduced
attribute "target" for address of "drive" type.
