The mask was stored both as a bitmap and as a string. The string is used

the bitmap.
The test change is necessary as the bitmap formatter doesn't "optimize"

So, when building the '-numa' command line, the
qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() function does quite a lot of checks to
chose the best backend, or to check if one is in fact needed. However,
it returned that backend is needed even for this little fella:
<numatune>
<memory mode="strict" nodeset="0,2"/>
</numatune>
This can be guaranteed via CGroups entirely, there's no need to use
memory-backend-ram to let qemu know where to get memory from. Well, as
long as there's no <memnode/> element, which explicitly requires the
backend. Long story short, we wouldn't have to care, as qemu works
either way. However, the problem is migration (as always). Previously,
libvirt would have started qemu with:
-numa node,memory=X
in this case and restricted memory placement in CGroups. Today, libvirt
creates more complicated command line:
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=X
-numa node,memdev=ram-node0
Again, one wouldn't find anything wrong with these two approaches.
Both work just fine. Unless you try to migrated from the older libvirt
into the newer one. These two approaches are, unfortunately, not
compatible. My suggestion is, in order to allow users to migrate, lets
use the older approach for as long as the newer one is not needed.

In our RNG schema we do allow multiple (different) seclabels per-domain,
but don't allow this for devices, yet we neither have a check in our XML parser,
nor in a post-parse callback. In that case we should allow multiple
(different) seclabels for devices as well.
Move the alias name right after the object type for rng-egd backend so
that we can later use the JSON to commandline generator to create the
command line.
Libvirt didn't prefix the random number generator backend object alias
with any string thus the device alias and object alias were identical.
To avoid possible problems, rename the alias for the backend object and
tweak tests to comply with the change.

Change done by commit f309db1f4d wrongly
assumes that qemu can start with a combination of NUMA nodes specified
with the "memdev" option and the appropriate backends, and the legacy
way by specifying only "mem" as a size argument. QEMU rejects such
commandline though:
$ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 2 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256 \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node1,size=12345 \
-numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1
qemu-system-x86_64: -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1: qemu: memdev option must be specified for either all or no nodes
To fix this issue we need to check if any of the nodes requires the new
definition with the backend and if so, then all other nodes have to use
it too.

QEMU's command line visitor as well as the JSON interface take bytes by

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:
<vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
gets translated into this one:
<vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.
Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

Libvirt BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175397
QEMU BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170093
In qemu there are two interesting arguments:
1) -numa to create a guest NUMA node
2) -object memory-backend-{ram,file} to tell qemu which memory
region on which host's NUMA node it should allocate the guest
memory from.
Combining these two together we can instruct qemu to create a
guest NUMA node that is tied to a host NUMA node. And it works
just fine. However, depending on machine type used, there might
be some issued during migration when OVMF is enabled (see QEMU
BZ). While this truly is a QEMU bug, we can help avoiding it. The
problem lies within the memory backend objects somewhere. Having
said that, fix on our side consists on putting those objects on
the command line if and only if needed. For instance, while
previously we would construct this (in all ways correct) command
line:
-object memory-backend-ram,size=256M,id=ram-node0 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
now we create just:
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256
because the backend object is obviously not tied to any specific
host NUMA node.

<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='4' unit='KiB'/>

However, since we are expecting to see huge pages only, we fail to

So far we didn't have any option to set video memory size for qemu video
devices. There was only the vram (ram for QXL) attribute but it was valid
only for the QXL video device.
To provide this feature to users QEMU has a dedicated device attribute
called 'vgamem_mb' to set the video memory size. We will use the 'vram'
attribute for setting video memory size for other QEMU video devices.
For the cirrus device we will ignore the vram value because it has
hardcoded video size in QEMU.

QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
