Document for <vcpu>'s "cpuset" says:
Since 0.4.4, this element can contain an optional cpuset attribute,
which is a comma-separated list of physical CPU numbers that virtual
CPUs can be pinned to.
However, it's not the truth, libvirt actually pins the domain
process to the specified pCPUs by "cpuset" of <vcpu>. And the
vcpu thread are pinned to all available pCPUs if no <vcpupin>
is specified for it.
This patch is to implement the codes to inherit <vcpu>'s "cpuset" for
vcpu that doesn't have <vcpupin> specified, and <vcpupin>
for these vcpu will be ignored when formating. Underlying
driver implementation will make sure the vcpu thread pinned
to correct pCPUs.
Setting pinning policy for vcpu which exceeds current vcpus number
just makes no sense, however, it could cause various problems, E.g.
<vcpu current='1'>4</vcpu>
<cputune>
<vcpupin vcpuid='3' cpuset='4'/>
</cputune>
% virsh start linux
error: Failed to start domain linux
error: cannot set CPU affinity on process 32534: No such process
We must have some odd codes underlying which produces the
"on process 32534", but the point is why we not to prevent
earlier when parsing? Note that this is only one of the
problem it could cause.
This patch is to ignore the <vcpupin> for not onlined vcpus.
We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux
contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated
contexts throughout the code. This patch swaps all SELinux context
translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing
problems.
The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example. The
difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install
mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you
something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas
fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow'
that we cannot parse.
I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of
time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in
the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008.
Thanks Laurent Bigonville for finding this out.

When startupPolicy set for a USB devices allows such device to be
missing, there was no way this could be detected from domain XML. With
this patch, libvirt emits a new missing='yes' attribute for such devices
when active domain XML is generated.
The comment stated that you may call qemuDomainObjBeginJobWithDriver
without passing qemud_driver to signal it's not locked.
qemuDomainObjBeginJobWithDriver still accesses the qemud_driver
structure and the lock singaling is done through a separate parameter.
Save/restore with passed through USB devices currently only works if the
USB device can be found at the same USB address where it used to be
before saving a domain. This makes sense in case a user explicitly
configure the USB address in domain XML. However, if the device was
found automatically by vendor/product identification, we should try to
search for that device when restoring the domain and use any device we
find as long as there is only one available. In other words, the USB
device can now be removed and plugged again or the host can be rebooted
between saving and restoring the domain.
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.
All USB device lookup functions emit an error when they cannot find the
requested device. With this patch, their caller can choose if a missing
device is an error or normal condition.
The code which looks up a USB device specified by hostdev is duplicated
in two places. This patch creates a dedicated function that can be
called in both places.
USB devices can disappear without OS being mad about it, which makes
them ideal for startupPolicy. With this attribute, USB devices can be
configured to be mandatory (the default), requisite (will disappear
during migration if they cannot be found), or completely optional.
While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.
The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).
While current on_{poweroff,reboot,crash} action configuration is about
configuring life cycle actions, they can all be considered events and
actions that need to be done on a particular event. Let's generalize the
code by renaming life cycle actions to event actions so that it can be
reused later for non-lifecycle events.
Done with:
sed -i -e "s/no pool with matching uuid/no storage pool with matching uuid/g" src/storage/storage_driver.c
sed -i -e 's/"%s", _("no storage pool with matching uuid")/_("no storage pool with matching uuid %s"), obj->uuid/g' src/storage/storage_driver.c
sed -i -e 's/"%s", _("storage pool is not active")/_("storage pool '%s' is not active"), pool->def->name/g' src/storage/storage_driver.c
And a couple fixups before, during, and after, and a manual inspection
pass to make sure nothing was wonky.
When adding variants of parameter setting APIs which accepted
flags, the existing APIs were all adapted internally to pass
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT to the new API. The QEMU impl
qemuSetSchedularParameters was an exception, which instead
used VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE. Change this to match other
compatibility scenarios, so that calling
virDomainSetSchedularParameters(dom, params, nparams);
Has the same semantics as
virDomainSetSchedularParametersFlags(dom, params, nparams, 0);
And
virDomainSetSchedularParametersFlags(dom, params, nparams, VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT);

Currently virNetSocketNew fails because virSetCloseExec fails as there
is no proper implementation for it on Windows at the moment. Workaround
this by pretending that setting close-on-exec on the fd works. This can
be done because libvirt currently lacks the ability to create child
processes on Windows anyway. So there is no point in failing to set a
flag that isn't useful at the moment anyway.
Traverse the whole inheritance hierarchy for dynamic dispatch as it is
already done for the dynamic cast.
Also make AnyType cast errors more verbose.

Add support to check if a specific interface is active by supporting the
following API function in the udev based virInterface backend:
* virConnectInterfaceIsActive()
All other backends for virInterface or other HVs implementations of
virInterface list their own names for the name instead of the generic
'Interface' value. This does the same for the netcf based backend.
Also, report any errors during registration.
Add a read-only udev based backend for virInterface. Useful for distros
that do not have netcf support yet. Multiple libvirt based utilities use
a HAL based fallback when virInterface is not available which is less
than ideal. This implements:
* virConnectNumOfInterfaces()
* virConnectListInterfaces()
* virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListAllInterfaces()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByName()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByMACString()
The code was reporting raw exit status without decoding it into
normal vs. signal exit. virCommandRun already does this, but
with a different error type, so all we have to do is recast
the error to the correct type.

* src/util/hooks.c (virHookCall): Simplify.
As a side effect of changes in the functions virGetUserID and
virGetGroupID, the user and group configurations for DAC in qemu.conf
are now able to accept both names and IDs, supporting a leading plus
sign to ensure that a numeric value will not be interpreted as a name.
This patch updates the comments in qemu.conf, including a description of
this new behavior.
With the recent introduction of QMP capabilities probing, libvirt failed
to detect support for QXL graphics in QEMU 1.2 and newer. In addition to
fixing that, this patch also causes libvirt to detect QXL support for
qemu-kvm-0.13.0, which doesn't advertise it in -help output but mentions
it in device list. Since qemu-kvm-0.13.0 supported -spice, it looks like
not having qxl in -help was a bug.
The functions virGetUserID and virGetGroupID are now able to parse
user/group names and IDs in a similar way to coreutils' chown. So, user
and group parsing in security_dac can be simplified.
This patch updates virGetUserID and virGetGroupID to be able to parse a
user or group name in a similar way to coreutils' chown. This means that
a numeric value with a leading plus sign is always parsed as an ID,
otherwise the functions try to parse the input first as a user or group
name and if this fails they try to parse it as an ID.
This patch includes Peter Krempa's changes to correctly handle errors
returned by getpwnam_r and getgrnam_r.
curl_global_init is not thread-safe. curl_easy_init might call
curl_global_init when it was no called before. But curl_easy_init
can be called from different threads by the ESX driver. Therefore,
call curl_global_init from virInitialize to stop curl_easy_init from
calling it.

When both kvmclock and kvm_pv_eoi are configured (either disabled or
enabled) libvirt will generate invalid CPU specification due to the
fact that even though kvmclock causes the CPU to be specified, it
doesn't set have_cpu flag to true (and the new kvm_pv_eoi as well).
This patch fixes the issue and adds a test exactly for that to show
that it is fixed correctly (and also to keep it that way in the future
of course).
libcurl uses a SIGALRM in combination with sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to be
able to abort a DNS lookup when it takes too long. The problem with this
in a multi-threaded application is that the signal handler for SIGALRM
and the call to siglongjmp can be executed on a thread that is different
from the one that initially did the SIGALRM setup and the call to
sigsetjmp. In the reported case this triggered a segfault.
Disable libcurl's use of signals to avoid this situation. This has the
disadvantage of losing the ability to abort synchronous DNS lookups which
might result in libcurl getting stuck in a DNS lookup in the worst case.
When libcurl was build with an asynchronous DNS backend such as c-ares
then there is no problem because the timeout mechanism works without
signals here anyway.
Reported by Benjamin Wang.

This reverts part of commit 5468594f465; the perl changes in that
patch were sufficient. Since libvirt.syms is already a generated
file created in part from libvirt_private.syms, we don't need a
second pass over libvirt_private.syms in isolation.
* src/Makefile.am: Undo addition of check-private-symfile.
Currently, we are checking if libvirt.so contains public symbols.
However, sometimes we rename an internal symbol and forget to
change libvirt_private.syms accordingly. Hence, it's safer to check
for internal symbols as well.

The DAC driver is missing parsing of group and user names for DAC labels
and currently just parses uid and gid. This patch extends it to support
names, so the following security label definition is now valid:
<seclabel type='static' model='dac' relabel='yes'>
<label>qemu:qemu</label>
<imagelabel>qemu:qemu</imagelabel>
</seclabel>
When it tries to parse an owner or a group, it first tries to resolve it as
a name, if it fails or it's an invalid user/group name then it tries to
parse it as an UID or GID. A leading '+' can also be used for both owner and
group to force it to be parsed as IDs, so the following example is also
valid:
<seclabel type='static' model='dac' relabel='yes'>
<label>+101:+101</label>
<imagelabel>+101:+101</imagelabel>
</seclabel>
This ensures that UID 101 and GUI 101 will be used instead of an user or
group named "101".

Since libvirt switched to QMP capabilities probing recently, it starts
QEMU process used for this probing with -daemonize, which means
virCommandAbort can no longer reach these processes. As a result of
that, restarting libvirtd will leave several new QEMU processes behind.
Let's use QEMU's -pidfile and use it to kill the process when QMP caps
probing is done.
When doing snapshots, the filesystem freeze function used the agent
entering function that expects the qemud_driver unlocked. This might
cause a deadlock of the qemu driver if the agent does not respond.
The only call path of this function has the qemud_driver locked, so this
patch changes the entering functions to those expecting the driver
locked.
There was an inverted return value in lxcCgroupControllerActive().
The function assumes cgroups are active and do couple of checks
to prove that. If any of them fails, false is returned. Therefore,
at the end, after all checks are done we must return true, not false.
Commit f6430390 broke builds on RHEL 5, where glibc (2.5) is too
old to support mkostemp (2.7) or htole64 (2.9). While gnulib
has mkostemp, it still lacks htole64; and it's not worth dragging
in replacements on systems where journald is unlikely to exist
in the first place, so we just use an extra configure-time check
as our witness of whether to attempt compiling the code.
* src/util/logging.c (virLogParseOutputs): Don't attempt to
compile journald on older glibc.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check for htole64.
