Our documentation generator is a bit messy, to say the least. For
instance, the description to return values of a function is
searched within C comment. Currently, all lines that start with
'returns' or 'Returns' are viewed as return value description.
However, there are some valid uses where the 'returns' word is in
the middle of a sentence describing function behavior not the
return value. And there are no places where 'returns' is used to
describe return values. For instance:
virDomainDetachDeviceFlags, virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny and
virDomainGetDiskErrors. This leads to HTML documemtation being
generated incorrectly.

Various disk types and formats can be mixed in one chain. The
<backingStore/> empty element marks the end of the backing chain and it
is there mostly for future support of parsing the chain provided by a
user. If it's missing, we are supposed to probe for the rest of the
chain ourselves, otherwise complete chain was provided by the user. The
index attributes of backingStore elements can be used to unambiguously
identify a specific part of the image chain.

When the default was changed from kvm to vfio, the documentation for
hostdev and interface was changed, but the documentation in <network>

Also document when the default was changed from "always kvm" to "vfio

the rerror_policy has had this problem since commit 4bb4109 in Oct

This patch is my first experience playing with nested grammars,
as documented in http://relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html#IDA3PZR.
I plan on doing more overrides in order to make the RelaxNG
grammar mirror the C code refactoring into a common
virStorageSource, but where different clients of that source do
not support the same subset of functionality. By starting with
something fairly easy to validate, I can make sure my later
patches will be possible.
This patch adds a use of the no-op <ref
name='sourceStartupPolicy'/> to the disksnapshot definition, so
that the snapshot version of a type='file' <source> more closely
resembles the version in domaincommon. A future patch will merge
the two files into using a common define, but this patch is
sufficient for testing that adding <source
startupPolicy='optional'/> in any of the
tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlin/*.xml files still gets rejected
unless it occurs within the <domain> subelement, because the
definition of startupPolicy is empty outside of domain.rng.

Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into

According to our documentation the "key" value has the following
meaning: "Providing an identifier for the volume which identifies a
single volume." The currently used keys for gluster volumes consist of
the gluster volume name and file path. This can't be considered unique
as a different storage server can serve a volume with the same name.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out a way to retrieve the gluster
volume UUID which would avoid the possibility of having two distinct
keys identifying a single volume.
Use the full URI as the key for the volume to avoid the more critical
ambiguity problem and document the possible change to UUID.
This patch adds an element to QEMU's capability XML, to
show if the underlying QEMU binary supports the live disk
snapshotting or not.
This allows any client to know ahead of time if the feature
is available.
Without this information available, the only way to check
for the snapshot support is to request one and check for

A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

With most of our storage backends it's possible to have two separate
volume keys to point to a single volume. (By creating sym/hard-links to
local files or by mounting remote filesystems to two different locations
and creating pools on top of them) Document this possibility.
Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations. Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit. Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big. And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.
So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').
The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.
Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.
This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.
The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is (n * (n + 1) ) / 2. This gets very large, very
quickly.
This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.
The simple usage is
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
...
29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
...
the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.
If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.
$ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

Add a new <timer> for the HyperV reference time counter enlightenment
and the iTSC reference page for Windows guests.
This feature provides a paravirtual approach to track timer events for
the guest (similar to kvmclock) with the option to use real hardware
clock on systems with a iTSC with compensation across various hosts.
According to the documentation describing various tunables for domain
timers not all the fields are supported by all the driver types. Express
these in the RNG:
- rtc, platform: Only these support the "track" attribute.
- tsc: only one to support "frequency" and "mode" attributes
- hpet, pit: tickpolicy/catchup attribute/element
- kvmclock: no extra attributes are supported
Additionally the attributes of the <catchup> element for
tickpolicy='catchup' are optional according to the parsing code. Express
this in the XML and fix a spurious space added while formatting the
<catchup> element and add tests for it.

pointed out that we weren't honoring the <bandwidth> element in
libvirt networks using <forward mode='bridge'/>. In fact, these
networks are just a method of giving a libvirt network name to an
existing Linux host bridge on the system, and libvirt doesn't have
enough information to know where to set such limits. We are working on
a method of supporting network bandwidths for some specific cases of
<forward mode='bridge'/>, but currently libvirt doesn't support it. So
the proper thing to do now is just log an error when someone tries to
put a <bandwidth> element in that type of network. (It's unclear if we
will be able to do proper bandwidth limiting for macvtap networks, and
most definitely we will not be able to support it for hostdev
networks).
While looking through the network XML documentation and comparing it
to the networkValidate function, I noticed that we also ignore the
presence of a mac address in the config in the same cases, rather than
failing so that the user will understand that their desired action has
not been taken.
This patch updates networkValidate() (which is called any time a
persistent network is defined, or a transient network created) to log
an error and fail if it finds either a <bandwidth> or <mac> element
and the network forward mode is anything except 'route'. 'nat', or
nothing. (Yes, neither of those elements is acceptable for any macvtap
mode, nor for a hostdev network).
NB: This does *not* cause failure to start any existing network that
contains one of those elements, so someone might have erroneously
defined such a network in the past, and that network will continue to
function unmodified. I considered it too disruptive to suddenly break
working configs on the next reboot after a libvirt upgrade.

It doesn't make sense to fail if the SCSI host device is specified
as "shareable" explicitly between domains (NB, it works if and only
if the device is specified as "shareable" for *all* domains,
otherwise it fails).
To fix the problem, this patch introduces an array for virSCSIDevice
struct, which records all the names of domain which are using the
device (note that the recorded domains must specify the device as
shareable). And the change on the data struct brings on many
subsequent changes in the code.
Prior to this patch, the "shareable" tag didn't work as expected,
it actually work like "non-shareable". So this patch also added notes
in formatdomain.html to declare the fact.

- Remove virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy
- Change definition of virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy and virSCSIDeviceListDel

- virSCSIDeviceSetUsedBy: Copy the domain name to avoid potential
memory corruption
- virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable: New

Add support for specifying various types when doing snapshots. This will
later allow to do snapshots on network backed volumes. Disks of type
'volume' are not supported by snapshots (yet).
Also amend the test suite to check parsing of the various new disk
types that can now be specified.
Quite often, I need to cite URLs like
http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementQoS
but it is annoying to copy them from the table of contents or the html
source.
This patch borrows from the Python documentation in order to make it
easier to cite headers on libvirt's oneline documentation.
spice-server offers an API to disable file transfer messages
on the agent channel between the client and the guest.
This is supported in qemu through the disable-agent-file-xfer option.
This patch exposes this option to libvirt.
Adds a new element 'filetransfer', with one property,
'enable', which accepts a boolean.
Default is enabled, for backward compatibility.
Depends on the capability exported in the first patch of the series.

In the 'directory' and 'netfs' storage pools, a user can see
both 'file' and 'dir' storage volume types, to know when they
can descend into a subdirectory. But in a network-based storage
pool, such as the upcoming 'gluster' pool, we use 'network'
instead of 'file', and did not have any counterpart for a
directory until this patch. Adding a new volume type
'network-dir' is better than reusing 'dir', because it makes
it clear that the only way to access 'network' volumes within
that container is through the network mounting (leaving 'dir'
for something accessible in the local file system).

Oops. That's not valid XML. And when we fix the XML
generation, it fails RelaxNG validation.
I'm also tired of seeing <key>(null)</key> in the example
output for volume xml; while we used NULLSTR() to avoid
a NULL deref rather than relying on glibc's printf
extension behavior, it's even better if we avoid the issue
in the first place. But this requires being careful that
we don't invalidate any storage backends that were relying
on key being unassigned during virStoragVolCreateXML[From].
I would have split this into two patches (one for escaping,
one for avoiding <key>(null)</key>), but since they both
end up touching a lot of the same test files, I ended up
merging it into one.
Note that this patch allows pretty much any volume name
that can appear in a directory (excluding . and .. because
those are special), but does nothing to change the current

only of letters, numbers, _, -, and +. Tightening the C

When using glusterfs FUSE mounts, you cannot access a subdirectory
of a gluster volume. The recommended workaround in the gluster
community is to mount the volume to an intermediate location, then
bind-mount the desired subdirectory to the final location. Maybe
we should teach libvirt to do bind-mounting, but for now I chose to
just document the limitation.

Prefer using VFIO (if available) to the legacy KVM device passthrough.
With this patch a PCI passthrough device without the driver configured
will be started with VFIO if it's available on the host. If not legacy
KVM passthrough is checked and error is reported if it's not available.
Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>
This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.
The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.
This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.
Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.
Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:

According to VMWare's documentation 'cdrom-raw' is an acceptable value
for deviceType for a CD-ROM drive. The documentation states that the VMX
configuration for a CD-ROM deviceType is as follows:
ide|scsi(n):(n).deviceType = "cdrom-raw|atapi-cdrom|cdrom-image"
From the documentation it appears the following is true:
- cdrom-image = Provides the ISO to the VM
- atapi-cdrom = Provides a NEC emulated ATAPI CD-ROM on top of the host
CD-ROM
- cdrom-raw = Passthru for a host CD-ROM drive. Allows CD-R burning from
within the guest.
A CD-ROM prior to this patch would always provide an 'atapi-cdrom' is
modeled as:
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
This patch allows the 'device' attribute to be set to 'lun' for a raw
acccess CD-ROM such as:
<disk type='block' device='lun'>
<source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
This corresponds to '-sd' and '-drive if=sd' on the qemu command line.
Needed for many ARM boards which don't provide any other way to
pass in storage.
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.
To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

when simulating the case of a user doing a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree. The culprit? BUILT_SOURCES are _always_
built, and so must NOT be built into srcdir and need not be part
of the tarball. On the other hand, shipped files must never
depend on files in the builddir. While it would be possible to
fix the problem by generating aclperms.htmlinc into builddir,
we then have the problem that we ship acl.html - we'd have to
rejigger a lot of things to not ship pre-built html. So this
patch goes the other direction - we don't need BUILT_SOURCES,
but instead ensure that we have proper dependencies so that
all files in srcdir are up-to-date at the time the tarball is
created. And because we ship html files in the tarball, that
implies we don't expect users to be able to rebuild them, so
we must not clean any files that would trigger a rebuild except
under the maintainer rules.

srcdir, and that fails when srcdir is read-only.

Commit 904e05a2 (v0.9.9) added a per-<disk> seclabel element with
an attribute relabel='no' in order to try and minimize the
impact of shutdown delays when an NFS server disappears. The idea
was that if a disk is on NFS and can't be labeled in the first
place, there is no need to attempt the (no-op) relabel on domain
shutdown. Unfortunately, the way this was implemented was by
modifying the domain XML so that the optimization would survive
libvirtd restart, but in a way that is indistinguishable from an
explicit user setting. Furthermore, once the setting is turned
on, libvirt avoids attempts at labeling, even for operations like
snapshot or blockcopy where the chain is being extended or pivoted
onto non-NFS, where SELinux labeling is once again possible. As
a result, it was impossible to do a blockcopy to pivot from an
NFS image file onto a local file.
The solution is to separate the semantics of a chain that must
not be labeled (which the user can set even on persistent domains)
vs. the optimization of not attempting a relabel on cleanup (a
live-only annotation), and using only the user's explicit notation
rather than the optimization as the decision on whether to skip
a label attempt in the first place. When upgrading an older
libvirtd to a newer, an NFS volume will still attempt the relabel;
but as the avoidance of a relabel was only an optimization, this
shouldn't cause any problems.
In the ideal future, libvirt will eventually have XML describing
EVERY file in the backing chain, with each file having a separate
<seclabel> element. At that point, libvirt will be able to track
more closely which files need a relabel attempt at shutdown. But
until we reach that point, the single <seclabel> for the entire
<disk> chain is treated as a hint - when a chain has only one
file, then we know it is accurate; but if the chain has more than
one file, we have to attempt relabel in spite of the attribute,
in case part of the chain is local and SELinux mattered for that
portion of the chain.

In one of my previous patches I am removing the hard_limit heuristic to
guess the correct value if none set. However, it turned out, this limit
is hard to guess even for users. We should advise them to not set the
limit as their domains may be OOM killed. Sigh.

This resolves the issue that prompted the filing of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928638
(although the request there is for something much larger and more
general than this patch).
commit f3868259ca disabled the
forwarding to upstream DNS servers of unresolved DNS requests for
names that had no domain, but were just simple host names (no "."
character anywhere in the name). While this behavior is frowned upon
by DNS root servers (that's why it was changed in libvirt), it is
convenient in some cases, and since dnsmasq can be configured to allow
it, it must not be strictly forbidden.
This patch restores the old behavior, but since it is usually
undesirable, restoring it requires specification of a new option in
the network config. Adding the attribute "forwardPlainNames='yes'" to
the <dns> elemnt does the trick - when that attribute is added to a
network config, any simple hostnames that can't be resolved by the
network's dnsmasq instance will be forwarded to the DNS servers listed
in the host's /etc/resolv.conf for an attempt at resolution (just as
any FQDN would be forwarded).
When that attribute *isn't* specified, unresolved simple names will
*not* be forwarded to the upstream DNS server - this is the default
behavior.
The description for <permissions> was copied from the storage volume
section to the storage pool section, but the semantics are different:
1. Currently only the "dir", "fs" and "netfs" storage pools use it.
2. They use it only to build the final directory.
3. A default for the storage volumes can't be set.

The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is
likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib
submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from
Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc). While it is an
important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure
that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly
wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't
making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests
to alter behavior). Thus, it pays to make the tests optional
at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for
tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on. It also
helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01]
(much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure
time default of how verbose to be).
Automake has some pretty hard-coded magic with regards to the
TESTS variable; I had quite a job figuring out how to keep
'make distcheck' passing regardless of the configure option
setting in use, while still disabling the tests at runtime
when I did not configure them on and did not use the override
variable. Thankfully, we require GNU make, which lets me
hide some information from Automake's magic handling of TESTS.

This adds two new pages to the website, acl.html describing

and aclpolkit.html describing the use of polkit as an
access control driver.
page.xsl is modified to support a new syntax
<div id="include" filename="somefile.htmlinc"/>
which will cause the XSL transform to replace that <div>
with the contents of 'somefile.htmlinc'. We use this in
the acl.html.in file, to pull the table of permissions
for each libvirt object. This table is autogenerated
from the enums in src/access/viraccessperms.h by the

So that app developers / admins know what access control checks
are performed for each API, this patch extends the API docs
generator to include details of the ACLs for each.
The gendispatch.pl script is extended so that it generates
a simple XML describing ACL rules, eg.
<aclinfo>
...
<api name='virConnectNumOfDomains'>
<check object='connect' perm='search_domains'/>
<filter object='domain' perm='getattr'/>
</api>
<api name='virDomainAttachDeviceFlags'>

<check object='domain' perm='save' flags='!VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG|VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE'/>
<check object='domain' perm='save' flags='VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG'/>
</api>
...
</aclinfo>
The newapi.xsl template loads the XML files containing the ACL
rules and generates a short block of HTML for each API describing
the parameter checks and return value filters (if any).

This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.
Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.
Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.
This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.
This controller is implicit on q35 machinetypes. It provides 31 PCIe
(*not* PCI) slots as controller 0.
Currently there are no devices that can connect to pcie-root, and no
implicit pci controller on a q35 machine, so q35 is still
unusable. For a usable q35 system, we need to add a
"dmi-to-pci-bridge" pci controller, which can connect to pcie-root,
and provides standard pci slots that can be used to connect other
devices.
The outbound/@peak is ignored (since QoS was introduced). This is due to
kernel limitation of know allowing ingress filters to have peak just
average rate. However, we should document this limitation to not confuse
users.
Interestingly, we had <code>floor<code> ... </code>outbound</code> which
results in much larger block of text to be written in code style that
intended.
There are two ways to use a iSCSI LUN as disk source for qemu.
* The LUN's path as it shows up on host, e.g.
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-$ip:3260-iscsi-$iqn-fc18:iscsi.iscsi0-lun-1
* The libiscsi URI from the storage pool source element host attribute, e.g.
iscsi://demo.org:6000/iqn.1992-01.com.example/1
For a "volume" type disk, if the specified "pool" is of iscsi
type, we should support to use the LUN in either of above 2 ways.
That's why to introduce a new XML tag "mode" for the disk source
(libvirt should support iscsi pool with libiscsi, but it's another
new feature, which should be done later).
The "mode" can be either of "host" or "direct". Use "host" to indicate
use of the LUN with the path as it shows up on host. Use "direct" to
indicate to use it with the source pool host URI (future patches may support
to use network type libvirt storage too, e.g. Ceph)
Makefiles are another easy file to enforce line limits.
Mostly straightforward; interesting tricks worth noting:
src/Makefile.am: $(confdir) was already defined, use it in more places
tests/Makefile.am: path_add and VG required some interesting compression

Historically security issues in libvirt have been primarily
triaged & fixed by the Red Hat libvirt members & Red Hat
security team, who then usually notify other vendors via
appropriate channels. There have been a number of times
when vendors have not been properly notified ahead of
announcement. It has also disadvantaged community members
who have to backport fixes to releases for which there are
no current libvirt stable branches.
To address this, we want to make the libvirt security process
entirely community focused / driven. To this end I have setup
a new email address "libvirt-security@redhat.com" for end
users to report bugs which have (possible) security implications.
This email addr is backed by an invitation only, private
archive, mailing list. The intent is for the list membership
to comprise a subset of the libvirt core team, along with any
vendor security team engineers who wish to participate in a
responsible disclosure process for libvirt. Members of the
list will be responsible for analysing the problem to determine
if a security issue exists and then issue fixes for all current
official stable branches & git master.
I am proposing the following libvirt core team people as
members of the security team / list (all cc'd):
Daniel Berrange (Red Hat)
Eric Blake (Red Hat)
Jiri Denemar (Red Hat)
Daniel Veillard (Red Hat)
Jim Fehlig (SUSE)
Doug Goldstein (Gentoo)
Guido Günther (Debian)
We don't have anyone from Ubuntu on the libvirt core team.
Serge Hallyn is the most frequent submitter of patches from
Ubuntu in recent history, so I'd like to invite him to join.
Alternatively, Serge, feel free to suggest someone else to
represent Ubuntu's interests.
If any other vendors/distros have security people who are
responsible for dealing with libvirt security issues, and
want to join to get early disclosure of issues, they can
suggest people. Existing security team members will vet /
approve such requests to ensure they are genuine.
Anyone on the team / list will be **required** to honour any
embargo period agreed between members for non-public issues
that are reported. The aim will be to have a maximum 2 week
embargo period in the common case, extendable to 1 month if
there is sufficient justification made. If anyone feels they
are unable to follow such an embargo process for whatever
reason, please decline membership of the security list/team.
The patch which follows puts up some docs on the website
about all of this....
Document how to report security bugs and the process that
will be used for addressing them.

network: static route support for <network>
This patch adds the <route> subelement of <network> to define a static
route. the address and prefix (or netmask) attribute identify the
destination network, and the gateway attribute specifies the next hop
address (which must be directly reachable from the containing
<network>) which is to receive the packets destined for
"address/(prefix|netmask)".
These attributes are translated into an "ip route add" command that is
executed when the network is started. The command used is of the
following form:
ip route add <address>/<prefix> via <gateway> \
dev <virbr-bridge> proto static metric <metric>
Tests are done to validate that the input data are correct. For
example, for a static route ip definition, the address must be a
network address and not a host address. Additional checks are added
to ensure that the specified gateway is directly reachable via this
network (i.e. that the gateway IP address is in the same subnet as one
of the IP's defined for the network).
prefix='0' is supported for both family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0'
netmask='0.0.0.0' or prefix='0', and for family='ipv6' address='::',
prefix=0', although care should be taken to not override a desired
system default route.
Anytime an attempt is made to define a static route which *exactly*
duplicates an existing static route (for example, address=::,
prefix=0, metric=1), the following error message will be sent to
syslog:
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
This can be overridden by decreasing the metric value for the route
that should be preferred, or increasing the metric for the route that
shouldn't be preferred (and is thus in place only in anticipation that
the preferred route may be removed in the future). Caution should be
used when manipulating route metrics, especially for a default route.
Note: The use of the command-line interface should be replaced by
direct use of libnl so that error conditions can be handled better. But,
that is being left as an exercise for another day.

While reviewing proposed VIR_STRDUP conversions, I've already noticed
several places that do:
if (str && VIR_STRDUP(dest, str) < 0)
which can be simplified by allowing str to be NULL (something that
strdup() doesn't allow). Meanwhile, code that wants to ensure a
non-NULL dest regardless of the source can check for <= 0.
Also, make it part of the VIR_STRDUP contract that macro arguments
are evaluated exactly once.

It's not desired to force users imagine path for a socket they
are not even supposed to connect to. On the other hand, we
already have a release where the qemu agent socket path is
exposed to XML, so we cannot silently drop it from there.
The new path is generated in form:
$LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/$domain.$name
for qemu system mode, and
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/lib/channel/target/$domain.$name
for qemu session mode.
Commit cc6d19f3 added text containing "<code>snapshot<code>" to
formatsnapshot.html.in. The closing tag is missing '/' which causes
the documentation to misrender.
A domain's <interface> or <hostdev>, as well as a <network>'s
<forward>, can now have an optional <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
element. As of this patch, there is no functionality behind this new
knob - this patch adds support to the domain and network
formatter/parser, and to the RNG and documentation.
When the backend is added, legacy KVM PCI device assignment will
continue to be used when no driver name is specified (or if <driver
name='kvm'/> is specified), but if driver name is 'vfio', the new UEFI
Secure Boot compatible VFIO device assignment will be used.
Note that the parser doesn't automatically insert the current default
value of this setting. This is done on purpose because the two
possibilities are functionally equivalent from the guest's point of
view, and we want to be able to automatically start using vfio as the
default (even for existing domains) at some time in the future. This
is similar to what was done with the "vhost" driver option in
<interface>.
For pSeries guest in QEMU, NVRAM is one kind of spapr-vio device.
Users are allowed to specify spapr-vio devices'address.
But NVRAM is not supported in libvirt. So this patch is to
add NVRAM device to allow users to specify its address.
In QEMU, NVRAM device's address is specified by
"-global spapr-nvram.reg=xxxxx".
In libvirt, XML file is defined as the following:
<nvram>
<address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x3000'/>
</nvram>

The rng schema for <controller> had been non-specific about which
types of controllers allowed which models, and also allowed the
num_queues attribute (since that hasn't been released yet, should we
rename it to "numQueues"?) and <master> subelement to be included for
any controller type. In reality, half of the models are allowed only
for type='scsi', and the other half only for type='usb', num_queues is
allowed only for type='scsi', and <master> only for type='usb'.
This patch makes a separate <group> for type='scsi' and type='usb',
with each group allowing only the appropriate model values, and
allowing num_queue and <master> only when appropriate.
<interleave> also hadn't been specified, forcing a specific order of
subelements, which should never be done. (Note that the <interleave>
had to surround the main element attributes that are in the <group>
subelements, due to one of the <group>s containing a subelement).
The recent qemu requires "0x" prefix for the disk wwn, this patch
changes virValidateWWN to allow the prefix, and prepend "0x" if
it's not specified. E.g.
qemu-kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,\
drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,wwn=6000c60016ea71ad:
Property 'scsi-hd.wwn' doesn't take value '6000c60016ea71ad'
Though it's a qemu regression, but it's nice to allow the prefix,
and doesn't hurt for us to always output "0x".

node device driver names the HBA like "scsi_host5", but storage
driver uses "host5", which could make the user confused. This
changes them to be consistent. However, for back-compat reason,
adapter name like "host5" is still supported.
This introduces 4 new attributes for storage pool source adapter.
E.g.
<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host5' wwnn='20000000c9831b4b' wwpn='10000000c9831b4b'/>
Attribute 'type' can be either 'scsi_host' or 'fc_host', and defaults
to 'scsi_host' if attribute 'name' is specified. I.e. It's optional
for 'scsi_host' adapter, for back-compat reason. However, mandatory

libiscsi provides a userspace iSCSI initiator.
The main advantage over the kernel initiator is that it is very
easy to provide different initiator names for VMs on the same host.
Thus libiscsi supports usage of persistent reservations in the VM,
which otherwise would only be possible with NPIV.
libiscsi uses "iscsi" as the scheme, not "iscsi+tcp". We can change
this in the tests (while remaining backwards-compatible manner, because

There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng. It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

Originally, only a host name was used to associate a
DHCPv6 request with a specific IPv6 address. Further testing
demonstrates that this is an unreliable method and, instead,
a client-id or DUID needs to be used. According to DHCPv6
standards, this id can be a duid-LLT, duid-LL, or duid-UUID
even though dnsmasq will accept almost any text string.
Although validity checking of a specified string makes sure it is
hexadecimal notation with bytes separated by colons, there is no
rigorous check to make sure it meets the standard.

so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for

escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the

The socket_id field represents identification of the physical socket the
CPU is plugged in. This ID may not be identical to the physical socket
ID reported by the kernel.
The core_id identifies a core within a socket. Also this field may not
accurately represent physical ID's.
The core_id is guaranteed to be unique within a cell and a socket. There
may be duplicates between sockets. Only cores sharing core_id within one
cell and one socket can be considered as threads. Cores sharing core_id
within sparate cells are distinct cores.
The siblings field is a list of CPU id's the cpu id's the CPU is sibling
with - thus a thread. The list is in the cpuset format.
