Tuning NUMA or network interface parameters requires root
privileges to manage cgroups. Thus an attempt to set some of these
parameters in session mode on a running domain should be invalid
followed by an error. An example might be memory tuning which raises
an error in such case.
The following behavior in session mode will be present after applying
this patch:
Tuning | SET | GET |
----------|---------------|--------|
NUMA | shut off only | always |
Memory | never | never |
Interface | never | always |

The documentation for the restore hook states that returning an empty
XML is equivalent with copying the input. There was a bug in the code
checking the returned string by checking the string instead of the
contents. Use the new helper to check if the string is empty.
The helper checks whether a string contains only whitespace or is NULL.
This will be helpful to skip cases where a user string is optional, but
may be provided empty with the same meaning.
Newer versions of Debian use '/run/initctl' instead of '/dev/initctl'.
This patch updates the code to search for the FIFO from a list of
well-known locations.

Fix that by replacing virSocketAddrParseInternal() call with
virSocketAddrParse() in the virSocketAddrIsNumericLocalhost() function.
virSocketAddrParse stores an address in virSocketAddr.
virSocketAddr uses a union to store an address, so it doesn't
need casting.

If VM is configured with many devices(including passthrough devices)
and large memory, libvirtd will take seconds(in the worst case) to
wait for monitor. In this period the qemu process may run on any
PCPU though I intend to pin emulator to the specified PCPU in xml
configuration.
Actually qemu process takes high cpu usage during vm startup.
So this is not the strict CPU isolation in this case.

These tools have been rewritten upstream, so you don't need to link to
the old tools, link to the new ones and mention they are part of
libguestfs.
Also remove the link to "Poor man's P2V". There's no real reason to
use that technique any longer since the rewritten tools are simple,
fast and highly capable.

The mode attribute is required for the source element of vhost-user.
Thus virDomainNetDefFormat should always generate a xml with it and not
only when the mode is server.
The commit fixes the issue. And it adds a vhostuser interface in
'client' mode to qemuxml2argv-net-vhostuser.(args|xml) to test this
usecase.

To allow live modification of device backends in qemu libvirt needs to
be able to hot-add/remove "objects". Add monitor backend functions to
allow this.
This function will be used for hot-add/remove of RNG backends,
IOThreads, memory backing objects, etc.
The JSON structure constructor has an option to add JSON arrays to the
constructed object. The description is inaccurate as it can add any json
object even a dict. Change the docs to cover this option and reject
adding NULL objects.
Our qemu monitor code has a converter from key-value pairs to a json
value object. I want to re-use the code later and having it part of the
monitor command generator is inflexible. Split it out into a separate
helper.
When enabling the migration_address option, by default it is
set to "127.0.0.1", but it's not a valid address for migration.
so we should add verification and set the default migration_address
to "0.0.0.0".

if specifying migration_host to an Ipv6 address without brackets,
it was resolved to an incorrect address, such as:
tcp:2001:0DB8::1428:4444,
but the correct address should be:
tcp:[2001:0DB8::1428]:4444
so we should add brackets when parsing it.

Few places still used hardcoded limit for maximum XML size for commands
that accept XML files. The hardcoded limits ranged from 8k to 1M. Use
VSH_MAX_XML_FILE to express this limit in a unified way. This will bump
the limit for the commands that used hardcoded string lengths to 10M.

The actual origin of this so called typo are two commits. The first one
was commit 72f8a7f that came up with the following condition:
if ((i == 8) & (flags & VIR_QEMU_PROCESS_KILL_FORCE))
Fortunately this succeeded thanks to bool being (int)1 and
VIR_QEMU_PROCESS_KILL_FORCE having the value of 1 << 0. The check was
then moved and altered in 8fd3823117 to
current state:
if ((i == 50) & force)
that will work again (both sides of '&' being booleans), but since this
was missed so many times, it may pose a problem in the future in case it
gets copy-pasted again.

This started as an investigation into an issue where libvirt (using the
libxl driver) and the Xen host, like an old couple, could not agree on
who is responsible for selecting the VNC port to use.
Things usually (and a bit surprisingly) did work because, just like that
old couple, they had the same idea on what to do by default. However it
was possible that this ended up in a big argument.
The problem is that display information exists in two different places:
in the vfbs list and in the build info. And for launching the device model,
only the latter is used. But that never gets initialized from libvirt. So
Xen allows the device model to select a default port while libvirt thinks
it has told Xen that this is done by libvirt (though the vfbs config).
While fixing that, I made a stab at actually evaluating the configuration
of the video device. So that it is now possible to at least decide between
a Cirrus or standard VGA emulation and to modify the VRAM within certain
limits using libvirt.

This patch introduces a function to detect whether the specified
emulator is QEMU_XEN or QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL. Detection is based on the
string "Options specific to the Xen version:" in '$qemu -help' output.
AFAIK, the only qemu containing that string in help output is the
old Xen fork (aka qemu-dm).
Note:
QEMU_XEN means a qemu that contains support for Xen.
QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL means Xen's old forked qemu 0.10.2

Allow the Xen drivers to determine default vram values. Sane
default vaules depend on the device model being used, so the
drivers are in the best position to determine the defaults.
For the legacy xen driver, it is best to maintain the existing
logic for setting default vram values to ensure there are no
regressions. The libxl driver currently does not support
configuring a video device. Support will be added in a
subsequent patch, where the benefit of this change will be
reaped.
