esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive() lookup a domain by asking
ESX for all known domains and searching manually for the one with the
matching UUID. This is inefficient. The VI API allows to lookup by UUID
directly: FindByUuid().
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: change esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive()
to use esxVI_LookupVirtualMachineByUuid(), also reorder some functions to
keep them in sync with the driver struct
Questions can block tasks, to handle them automatically the driver can answers
them with the default answer. The auto_answer query parameter allows to enable
this automatic question handling.
* src/esx/README: add a detailed explanation for automatic question handling
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: add automatic question handling for all task related
driver functions
* src/esx/esx_util.[ch]: add handling for the auto_answer query parameter
* src/esx/esx_vi.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_methods.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_types.[ch]:
add new VI API methods and types and additional helper functions for
automatic question handling
Commit 33a198c1f6 increased the gcrypt
version requirement to 1.4.2 because the GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION
define was added in this version.
The configure script doesn't check for the gcrypt version. To support
gcrypt versions < 1.4.2 change the virTLSThreadImpl initialization
to use GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION only if it's defined.
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor

GNUTLS uses gcrypt for its crypto functions. gcrypt requires
that the app/library initializes threading before using it.
We don't want to force apps using libvirt to know about
gcrypt, so we make virInitialize init threading on their
behalf. This location also ensures libvirtd has initialized
it correctly. This initialization is required even if libvirt
itself were only using one thread, since another non-libvirt
library (eg GTK-VNC) could also be using gcrypt from another
thread
* src/libvirt.c: Register thread functions for gcrypt
* configure.in: Add -lgcrypt to linker flags
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix IsPersistent() and IsActivE()
methods on storage pools to use 'storagePrivateData' instead
of 'privateData'. Also fix naming convention of objects
* src/esx/esx_vi.c (esxVI_List_CastFromAnyType): For invalid
inputs, fail right away. Do not "goto failure" where a NULL
input pointer would be dereferenced.
* src/esx/esx_util.c (esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath): Return
right away for invalid inputs, rather than using them (which would
dereference NULL pointers) in clean-up code.
The virFileResolveLink utility function relied on the POSIX guarantee
that stat.st_size of a symlink is the length of the value. However,
on some types of file systems, it is invalid, so do not rely on it.
Use gnulib's areadlink module instead.
* bootstrap (modules): Add areadlink.
* src/util/util.c: Include "areadlink.h".
Let areadlink perform the readlink and malloc.
* configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink. No need,
since it's presence is guaranteed by gnulib.
* src/xen/xm_internal.c (xenXMConfigGetULong): Remove useless and
misleading test (always false) for val->str == NULL before code that
always dereferences val->str. "val" comes from virConfGetValue, and
at that point, val->str is guaranteed to be non-NULL.
(xenXMConfigGetBool): Likewise.
* src/util/conf.c (virConfSetValue): Ensure that vir->str is never NULL,
not even if someone tries to set such a value via virConfSetValue.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (doNonTunnelMigrate): Don't let a
NULL "uri_out" provoke a NULL-dereference in doNativeMigrate:
supply omitted goto-after-qemudReportError.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigratePrepareTunnel): Upon an
out of memory error, we would end up with unixfile==NULL and attempt
to unlink(NULL). Skip the unlink when it's NULL.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Set
"event" to NULL after qemuDomainEventQueue frees it, so a
subsequent free (after endjob label) upon qemuMonitorStartCPUs
failure does not cause a double free.
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c (update_driver_name): The
previous code would write one byte beyond the end of the 4KiB
stack buffer when presented with a symlink value of exactly that
length (very unlikely). Remove the automatic buffer and use
virFileResolveLink in place of readlink. Suggested by Daniel Veillard.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: virStorageBackendFileSystemDelete
was incorrectly calling unlink() in an attempt to remove a directory.
It should be calling rmdir() instead.
src/node_device/node_device_udev.c was using a function available only
on the daemon code, fix this and use the function available globally
* src/node_device/node_device_udev.c: replace use of virEventAddHandleImpl
by virEventAddHandle
If there are no references remaining to the object, vm is set to NULL
and vm->persistent cannot be accessed. Fixed by this trivial patch.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Avoid possible
NULL pointer dereference on --crash dump.
This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump. And for Xen, you just pass the flag down to xend.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): Add VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --live. (cmdDump): Map it to VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
This patch adds the --crash option (already present in "xm dump-core")
to "virsh dump". virDomainCoreDump already has a flags argument, so
the API/ABI is untouched.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): New flag for
CoreDump
* src/test/test_driver.c (testDomainCoreDump): Do not crash
after dump unless VIR_DUMP_CRASH is given.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Shutdown the domain
instead of restarting it if --crash is passed.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support --crash.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --crash.
(cmdDump): Map it to flags for virDomainCoreDump and pass them.
1) qemuMigrateToCommand uses ">>" so we have to truncate the file
before starting the migration;
2) the command wasn't updated to chown the driver and set/restore
the security lavels;
3) the VM does not have to be resumed if migration fails;
4) the file is not removed when migration fails.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainCoreDump): Truncate file before
dumping, set/restore ownership and security labels for the file.
Those were pointed by DanB in his review but not yet fixed
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: qemudWaitForMonitor() use EnterMonitorWithDriver()
and ExitMonitorWithDriver() there
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: checking fro strdu failure and hash
table add error in qemuMonitorTextGetPtyPaths()
This change makes the QEMU driver get pty paths from the output of the
monitor 'info chardev' command. This output is structured, and contains
both the name of the device and the path on the same line. This is
considerably more reliable than parsing the startup log output, which
requires the parsing code to know which order QEMU will print pty
information in.
Note that we still need to parse the log output as the monitor itself
may be on a pty. This should be rare, however, and the new code will
replace all pty paths parsed by the log output method once the monitor
is available.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.(c|h) src/qemu_monitor_text.(c|h): Implement
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths().
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Get pty path information using
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths().
Change -monitor, -serial and -parallel output to use -chardev if it is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Update qemudBuildCommandLine to use -chardev where
available.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add -chardev equivalents
for all current serial and parallel tests.
Even if qemudStartVMDaemon suceeds, an error was logged such as
'qemuRemoveCgroup:1778 : internal error Unable to find cgroup for'.
This is because qemudStartVMDaemon calls qemuRemoveCgroup to
ensure that old cgroup does not remain. This workaround makes
sense but leaving an error message may confuse users.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: a an option to the function to suppress the
error being logged
This patch fixes the bug where paused/running state is not
transmitted during migration. As a result, in the QEMU driver
for example the machine was always started on the destination
end.
In order to do so, just read the state and if it is appropriate and
set the VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainMigrateVersion1, virDomainMigrateVersion2):
Automatically add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED when appropriate.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainMigratePerform): Give a nicer
error message when migration of paused domains is attempted.
This adds a new flag, VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED, that mandates pausing
the migrated VM before starting it.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainMigrateFlags): Add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Handle VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_migrate): Add --suspend. (cmdMigrate): Handle it.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Document it.
This makes a small change on the failed-migration path. Up to now,
all VMs that failed non-live migration after the "stop" command
were restarted. This must not be done when the VM was paused in
the first place.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigratePerform): Do not restart
a paused VM that fails migration. Set paused state after "stop",
reset it after failure.
We don't use this method of reloading rules anymore, so we can just
kill the code.
This simplifies things a lot because we no longer need to keep a
table of the rules we've added.
* src/util/iptables.c: kill iptablesReloadRules()
Long ago we tried to use Fedora's lokkit utility in order to register
our iptables rules so that 'service iptables restart' would
automatically load our rules.
There was one fatal flaw - if the user had configured iptables without
lokkit, then we would clobber that configuration by running lokkit.
We quickly disabled lokkit support, but never removed it. Let's do
that now.
The 'my virtual network stops working when I restart iptables' still
remains. For all the background on this saga, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/227011
* src/util/iptables.c: remove lokkit support
* configure.in: remove --enable-lokkit
* libvirt.spec.in: remove the dirs used only for saving rules for lokkit
* src/Makefile.am: ditto
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/util/iptables.h: remove references to iptablesSaveRules
This is the expected behaviour, I think - reloading libvirtd should
be a subset of restarting it.
Note, we reload the rules after we've determined which networks
are active (because we only add the rules for active networks)
and before we start autostart networks (to avoid re-adding the
rules).
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: reload iptables rules on startup
Currently, when we add iptables rules, we keep them on a list so that
we can easily reload them on e.g. 'service libvirtd reload'.
However, we don't save this list to disk, so if libvirtd is restarted
we lose the ability to reload the rules.
The fix is simple - just re-add the damn things on reload.
Note, we delete the rules before re-adding them, just like the current
behaviour of iptRulesReload().
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: re-add the iptables rules on reload.
