At least Xen supports backend drivers in another domain (aka "driver
domain"). This patch introduces an XML config option for specifying the
backend domain name for <disk> and <interface> devices. E.g.
<disk>
<backenddomain name='diskvm'/>
...
</disk>
<interface type='bridge'>
<backenddomain name='netvm'/>
...
</interface>
In the future, same option will be needed for USB devices (hostdev
objects), but for now libxl doesn't have support for PVUSB.

The function that parses the <forward> subelement of a network used to
fail/log an error if the network definition contained both a <pf>
element as well as at least one <interface> or <address> element. That
check was present because the configuration of a network should have
either one <pf>, one or more <interface>, or one or more <address>,
but never combinations of multiple kinds.
This caused a problem when libvirtd was restarted with a network
already active - when a network with a <pf> element is started, the
referenced PF (Physical Function of an SRIOV-capable network card) is
checked for VFs (Virtual Functions), and the <forward> is filled in
with a list of all VFs for that PF either in the form of their PCI
addresses (a list of <address>) or their netdev names (a list of
<interface>); the <pf> element is not removed though. When libvirtd is
restarted, it parses the network status and finds both the original
<pf> from the config, as well as the list of either <address> or
<interface>, fails the parse, and the network is not added to the
active list. This failure is often obscured because the network is
marked as autostart so libvirt immediately restarts it.
It seems odd to me that <interface> and <address> are stored in the
same array rather than keeping two separate arrays, and having
separate arrays would have made the check much simpler. However,
changing to use two separate arrays would have required changes in
more places, potentially creating more conflicts and (more
importantly) more possible regressions in the event of a backport, so
I chose to keep the existing data structure in order to localize the
change.
It appears that this problem has been in the code ever since support
for <pf> was added (0.9.10), but until commit
34cc3b2f10 (first in libvirt 1.2.4)
networks with interface pools were not properly marked as active on
restart anyway, so there is no point in backporting this patch any
further than that.
Later patches will need to access the full definition to do check the
memory size and thus the checking needs to be done after the whole
definition including devices is known.
For historical reasons data regarding NUMA configuration were split
between the CPU definition and numatune. We cannot do anything about the
XML still being split, but we certainly can at least store the relevant
data in one place.
This patch moves the NUMA stuff to the right place.
As virDomainNumatuneSet now doesn't allocate the virDomainNuma object
any longer it's not necessary to pass the pointer to a pointer to store
the object as it will not change any longer.
While touching the parameter definitions I've also changed the name of
the parameter to "numa".
Since our formatter now handles well if the config is allocated and not
filled we can safely always-allocate the NUMA config and remove the
ad-hoc allocation code.
This will help in later patches as the parser will be refactored to just
fill the data.
Move the existing virDomainDefNew to virDomainDefNewFull as it's setting
a few things in the conf and re-introduce virDomainDefNew as a function
without parameters for common use.
Do a content-aware check if formatting of the <numatune> element is
necessary. Later on the def->numa structure will be always present so we
cannot decide only on the basis whether it's allocated.
Shuffling around the logic will allow to simplify the code quite a bit.
As an additional bonus the change in the logic now reports an error if
automatic placement is selected and individual placement is configured.
Currently the code would exit without reporting an error as
virBitmapParse reports one only if it fails to parse the bitmap, whereas
the code was jumping to the error label even in case 0 cpus were
correctly parsed in the map.
It's easier to recalculate the number in the one place it's used as
having a separate variable to track it. It will also help with moving
the NUMA code to the separate module.
Name it virNumaMemAccess and add it to conf/numa_conf.[ch]
Note that to avoid a circular dependency the type of the NUMA cell
memAccess variable was changed to int. It will be turned back later
after the circular dependency will not exist.
The mask was stored both as a bitmap and as a string. The string is used
for XML output only. Remove the string, as it can be reconstructed from
the bitmap.
The test change is necessary as the bitmap formatter doesn't "optimize"
using the '^' operator.
Rewrite the function to save a few local variables and reorder the code
to make more sense.
Additionally the ncells_max member of the virCPUDef structure is used
only for tracking allocation when parsing the numa definition, which can
be avoided by switching to VIR_ALLOC_N as the array is not resized
after initial allocation.
For weird historical reasons NUMA cells are added as a subelement of
<cpu> while the actual configuration is done in <numatune>.
This patch splits out the cell parser code from cpu config to NUMA
config. Note that the changes to the code are minimal just to make it
work and the function will be refactored in the next patch.
For a while now there are two places that gather information about NUMA
related guest configuration. While the XML can't be changed we can at
least store the data in one place in the definition.
Rename the numatune_conf.[ch] files to numa_conf as later patches will
move the rest of the definitions from the cpu definition to this one.
The "virDomainGetInfo" will get for running domain only live info and for
offline domain only config info. There was no way how to get config info
for running domain. We will use "vshCPUCountCollect" instead to get the
correct cpu count that we need to pass to "virDomainGetVcpuPinInfo".
Also cleanup some unnecessary variables and checks that are done by
drivers.

Not all machine types support all devices, device properties, backends,
etc. So until we create a matrix of [machineType, qemuCaps], lets just
filter out some capabilities before we return them to the consumer
(which is going to make decisions based on them straight away).
Currently, as qemu is unable to tell which capabilities are (not)
enabled for given machine types, it's us who has to hardcode the matrix.
One day maybe the hardcoding will go away and we can create the matrix
dynamically on the fly based on a few monitor calls.

When editing a domain with 'virsh edit' and failing validation, the
usual message pops up:
Failed. Try again? [y,n,f,?]:
Turning off validation can be useful, mainly for testing (but other
purposes too), so this patch adds support for relaxing definition in
virsh-edit and makes 'virsh edit <domain>' more usable.

When migrating with storage, libvirt iterates over domain disks and
instruct qemu to migrate the ones we are interested in (shared, RO and
source-less disks are skipped). The disks are migrated in series. No
new disk is transferred until the previous one hasn't been quiesced.
This is checked on the qemu monitor via 'query-jobs' command. If the
disk has been quiesced, it practically went from copying its content
to mirroring state, where all disk writes are mirrored to the other
side of migration too. Having said that, there's one inherent error in
the design. The monitor command we use reports only active jobs. So if
the job fails for whatever reason, we will not see it anymore in the
command output. And this can happen fairly simply: just try to migrate
a domain with storage. If the storage migration fails (e.g. due to
ENOSPC on the destination) we resume the host on the destination and
let it run on partly copied disk.
The proper fix is what even the comment in the code says: listen for
qemu events instead of polling. If storage migration changes state an
event is emitted and we can act accordingly: either consider disk
copied and continue the process, or consider disk mangled and abort
the migration.

Upon BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event delivery, we check if the job has
completed (in qemuMonitorJSONHandleBlockJobImpl()). For better image,
the event looks something like this:
"timestamp": {"seconds": 1423582694, "microseconds": 372666}, "event":
"BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED", "data": {"device": "drive-virtio-disk0", "len":
8412790784, "offset": 409993216, "speed": 8796093022207, "type":
"mirror", "error": "No space left on device"}}
If "len" does not equal "offset" it's considered an error, and we can
clearly see "error" field filled in. However, later in the event
processing this case was handled no differently to case of job being
aborted via separate API. It's time that we start differentiate these
two because of the future work.

Currently, upon BLOCK_JOB_* event, disk->mirrorState is not updated
each time. The callback code handling the events checks if a blockjob
was started via our public APIs prior to setting the mirrorState.
However, some block jobs may be started internally (e.g. during
storage migration), in which case we don't bother with setting
disk->mirror (there's nothing we can set it to anyway), or other
fields. But it will come handy if we update the mirrorState in these
cases too. The event wasn't delivered just for fun - we've started the
job after all.
So, in this commit, the mirrorState is set to whatever job status
we've obtained. Of course, there are some actions on some statuses
that we want to perform. But instead of if {} else if {} else {} ...
enumeration, let's move to switch().

Libvirt could crash with segfault if user issue "service reload" right
after "service start". One possible way to crash libvirt is to run reload
during initialization of QEMU driver.
It could happen when qemu driver will initialize qemu_driver_lock but
don't have a time to set it's "config" and the SIGHUP arrives. The
reload handler tries to get qemu_drv->config during "virStorageAutostart"
and dereference it which ends with segfault.
Let's ignore all reload requests until all drivers are initialized. In
addition set driversInitialized before we enter virStateCleanup to
ignore reload request while we are shutting down.

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.
