The virtlockd daemon will maintain locks on behalf of libvirtd.
There are two reasons for it to be separate
- Avoid risk of other libvirtd threads accidentally
releasing fcntl() locks by opening + closing a file
that is locked
- Ensure locks can be preserved across libvirtd restarts.
virtlockd will need to be able to re-exec itself while
maintaining locks. This is simpler to achieve if its
sole job is maintaining locks

Most of this deals with moving the libvirt-guests.sh script which
does all the work to /usr/libexec, so it can be shared by both
systemd and traditional init. Previously systemd depended on
the script being in /etc/init.d

This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2.
Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is
designated 'technology preview' only and is incompatible with Xen 4.2
libxl. Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend,
for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver.

In older Fedora, the spec file for libivrt depended on avahi, which
included avahi-daemon, which in turn depended on dbus. But now that
avahi libs and avahi-daemon are (correctly) in separate pacakges,
and since we REALLY don't want a mandatory dependency on avahi-daemon,
and considering that our init scripts require the messagebus service
from dbus, we need to explicitly require dbus ourselves.
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Add dbus for libvirt-daemon.
Implement the domainManagedSave, domainHasManagedSaveImage, and
domainManagedSaveRemove functions in the libvirt legacy xen driver.
domainHasManagedSaveImage check the managedsave image from filesystem
everytime. This is different from qemu and libxl driver. In qemu or
libxl driver, there is a hasManagesSave flag in virDomainObjPtr which
is not used in xen legacy driver. This flag could not add into xen
driver ptr either, because the driver ptr will be released at the end of
every libvirt api call. Meanwhile, AFAIK, xen store all the flags in
xen not in libvirt xen driver. There is no need to add this flag in xen.

This should not make a big difference in real world since libvirt-daemon,
which is already required by libvirt-lock-sanlock, requires
libvirt-client and thus libvirt-lock-sanlock gets this dependency
transitively. However, since libvirt-lock-sanlock contains
sanlock_helper binary linked to libvirt.so, we should start requiring
libvirt-client directly.
The previous commit was incomplete. We need to also add explicit
Requires for the newer version since RPM's automatic dependencies won't
work with sanlock.
libssh2 unfortunately doesn't support symbol versioning so RPM can't
figure out what version is needed for the currently installed libvirt
package. This patch adds a runtime requirement, so that the correct
version of libssh2 can be installed along with libvirt.
Libssh2 transport support was enabled lately but the spec file wasn't
updated to take this into account. This caused libvirt to be built
without libssh2 support in Red Hat based OSes.
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).
I noticed that in two places, we require util-linux, and in a third,
we require util-linux-ng. On Fedora (I tested F15 through rawhide),
util-linux-ng is obsoleted by util-linux; on RHEL 6, util-linux
is obsoleted by util-linux-ng. That is, on either platform, either
name will get you the correct package installed (where the preferred
name on fedora is util-linux, and on RHEL 6 is util-linux-ng). But
on RHEL 5, there is no util-linux-ng
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Use util-linux, not util-linux-ng.
The Fedora policies don't want us installing the legacy initscripts

Based exclusively on work by Eric Blake in a patch posted with the same
subject. However some modifications related to comments and my plans to
add another backend.
Added WITH_INTERFACE as the only automake variable deciding whether to
build the driver and using WITH_NETCF to identify that we're wanting to
use the netcf library as the backend.
* configure.ac: Added with_interface
* src/interface/netcf_driver.c: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c: ..to this to match storage.
* src/interface/netcf_driver.h: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_driver.h: ..to this.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Respect WITH_INTERFACE and WITH_NETCF.
* libvirt.spec.in: Add RPM support for --with-interface
When building RPMs the host kernel cannot be assumed to match
the target OS kernel. Thus auto-detecting /selinux vs
/sys/fs/selinux based on the host kernel can result in the
wrong choice (eg F18 builds on a RHEL6 host kernel)

A previous patch forced libnl-3 and netcf-0.2.2 (which itself requires
libnl-3) when *building* for Fedora 18+ (and RHEL 7+), but the
install-time Requires: for netcf has always been implicit due to
libvirtd linking with libnetcf.so. However, the since the API of netcf
didn't change when it was rebuilt to use libnl-3, the internal library
version didn't change either, making it possible (from rpm's point of
view) to upgrade libvirt without upgrading netcf (in reality, that
leads to a segfault - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853381).
The solution is to put an explicit Requires: line in libvirt's
specfile for fedora >= 18 and rhel >= 7.
The libvirt storage driver uses librbd.so for its functionality.
RPM will automatically add a dependency on the library, so there
is no need to have an explicit dependency on the ceph RPM itself.
This allows newer Fedora distros to avoid pulling in the huge
ceph RPM, in favour of just having the libraries installed
Everything is ready in both netcf and libvirt to switch over to libnl3
in future releases of both Fedora and RHEL. This needs to be done more
or less simultaneously in both packages, though, because you can't mix
libnl1.1 and libnl3 in the same process (e.g. libvirtd using
libnl-3.so and libnetcf.so, while libnetcf.so uses libnl.so)
This patch does two things when fedora >= 18 || rhel >= 7):
1) requires libnl3-devel
2) requires netcf-devel-0.2.2 or greater
(the idea is that a similar patch is going into netcf's specfile, so
that when a build of netcf is done on F18 or later (or RHEL7 or later)
netcf will be guaranteed to be built with libnl3 rather than
libnl-1.1)
* configure.ac, spec file: firewalld defaults to enabled if dbus is
available, otherwise is disabled. If --with_firewalld is explicitly
requested and dbus is not available, configure will fail.
* bridge_driver: add dbus filters to get the FirewallD1.Reloaded
signal and DBus.NameOwnerChanged on org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.
When these are encountered, reload all the iptables reuls of all
libvirt's virtual networks (similar to what happens when libvirtd is
restarted).
* iptables, ebtables: use firewall-cmd's direct passthrough interface
when available, otherwise use iptables and ebtables commands. This
decision is made once the first time libvirt calls
iptables/ebtables, and that decision is maintained for the life of
libvirtd.
* Note that the nwfilter part of this patch was separated out into
another patch by Stefan in V2, so that needs to be revised and
re-reviewed as well.
================
All the configure.ac and specfile changes are unchanged from Thomas'
V3.
V3 re-ran "firewall-cmd --state" every time a new rule was added,
which was extremely inefficient. V4 uses VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT to set
up a one-time initialization function.
The VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(x) macro references a static function called
vir(Ip|Eb)OnceInit(), which will then be called the first time that
the static function vir(Ip|Eb)TablesInitialize() is called (that
function is defined for you by the macro). This is
thread-safe, so there is no chance of any race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've left the VIR_DEBUG messages in these two init
functions (one for iptables, on for ebtables) as VIR_WARN so that I
don't have to turn on all the other debug message just to see
these. Even if this patch doesn't need any other modification, those
messages need to be changed to VIR_DEBUG before pushing.
This one-time initialization works well. However, I've encountered
problems with testing:
1) Whenever I have enabled the firewalld service, *all* attempts to
call firewall-cmd from within libvirtd end with firewall-cmd hanging
internally somewhere. This is *not* the case if firewall-cmd returns
non-0 in response to "firewall-cmd --state" (i.e. *that* command runs
and returns to libvirt successfully.)
2) If I start libvirtd while firewalld is stopped, then start
firewalld later, this triggers libvirtd to reload its iptables rules,
however it also spits out a *ton* of complaints about deletion failing
(I suppose because firewalld has nuked all of libvirt's rules). I
guess we need to suppress those messages (which is a more annoying
problem to fix than you might think, but that's another story).
3) I noticed a few times during this long line of errors that
firewalld made a complaint about "Resource Temporarily
unavailable. Having libvirtd access iptables commands directly at the
same time as firewalld is doing so is apparently problematic.
4) In general, I'm concerned about the "set it once and never change
it" method - if firewalld is disabled at libvirtd startup, causing
libvirtd to always use iptables/ebtables directly, this won't cause
*terrible* problems, but if libvirtd decides to use firewall-cmd and
firewalld is later disabled, libvirtd will not be able to recover.
The 'make check' was rebuilding the binaries just overrided,
so for more safety also override the C program

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.
<disk type='network'>
...
<source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
<host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
</source>
</disk>

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.
RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.
It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.
To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.
The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.
For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

Introduce a set sub-RPMs, one per hypervisor, which can be used
as dependency targets by applications wishing to pull in the
full stack of packages required for a specific hypervisor. This
avoids the application needing to know what the hypervisor specific
package set is.
ie, applications should not need to know that using the libvirt
Xen hypervisor requires the 'xen' RPM - libvirt should take care
of that knowledge. All the application wants is 'libvirt-daemon-xen'
There are 5 sub-RPMs:
libvirt-daemon-qemu - non-native TCG based emulators
libvirt-daemon-kvm - native KVM hypervisor
libvirt-daemon-uml - User Mode linux
libvirt-daemon-xen - Xen, either via XenD or libxl
libvirt-daemon-lxc - Linux native containers
When driver modules get turned on, these sub-RPMs will also
gain dependencies on the appropriate driver module .so files
Take the libvirt RPM and split it into three pieces
- libvirt-daemon - libvirtd & other mandatory bits for its operation
- libvirt-daemon-config-network - the virbr0 config definition
- libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter - the firewall config rules
For backwards compatibility with existing installs / application RPM
deps, the 'libvirt' RPM is retained, but will have a dependency on
the 3 new RPMs.
Currently documentation is split between the libvirt RPM and the
libvirt-devel RPM. In the client-only build there is no libvirt
RPM, so the docs need to live elsewhere. The obvious answer is a
dedicated libvirt-docs RPM. For back-compatibility make the
libvirt-devel RPM require the libvirt-docs RPM
* libvirt.spec.in: Create separate libvirt-docs RPM
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: update for the release
* po/*.po*: updated a number of languages translation including new
indian languages and regenerated
* libvirt.spec.in: Remove obsolete --with-remote-pid-file arg.
Add missing %{without_libxl} statement. Fix handling of docs
in client only build. Put systemtap files in -client RPM
instead of -daemon RPM
* examples/xml/nwfilter/Makefile.am: Don't install examples if
nwfilter is disabled.
There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:
- Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
question
- Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
inside a guest
- It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
required to manage a specific hypervisor
This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus
- libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
- libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
- libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
- libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
- libvirt-docs: the website HTML
We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages
- libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
- libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
- libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
- libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon
- libvirt-daemon-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'xen'
- libvirt-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon-qemu & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon-kvm & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon-lxc & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon-uml & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon-xen & libvirt-daemon-config-network
My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include
any specific drivers, instead we'll get libvirt-daemon-driver-XXXX
packages for each driver. The libvirt-daemon-XXX packages will
then pull in each driver that they require.
It is recommended that applications required a locally installed
libvirtd daemon, use either 'Requires: libvirt-daemon-XXXX' or
'Requires: libvirt-XXX' and *not* "Requires: libvirt-daemon"
or 'Requires: libvirt'
* libvirt.spec.in: Refactor RPMs
* docs/packaging.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in: Document

After adding the libvirt-guests service into usual runlevels, we used
to start the libvirt-guests service. However this is usually not a
good practice. As mentioned on fedoraproject wiki, the installations
can be in changeroots, in an installer context, or in other situations
where we don't want the services autostarted.
Currently, if scrub (used for wiping algorithms) is not present
at compile time, we don't support any other wiping algorithms than
zeroing, even if it was installed later. Switch to runtime detection
instead.
Language bindings may well want to use the libvirt-api.xml and
libvirt-qemu-api.xml files to either auto-generate themselves,
or sanity check the manually written bindings for completeness.
Currently these XML files are not installed as standard, merely
ending up as a %doc file in the RPM.
This changes them to be installed into $prefix/share/libvirt/apis/
The *-refs.xml files are not installed, since those are only
useful during generation of the online API doc files.
The pkg-config file is enhanced so that you can query the install
location of the API files. eg
# pkg-config --variable=libvirt_qemu_api libvirt
/home/berrange/builder/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/libvirt/libvirt-qemu-api.xml
* docs/Makefile.am: Install libvirt-api.xml & libvirt-qemu-api.xml
* libvirt.pc.in: Add vars for querying API install location
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Include API XML files
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785269
The specfile requires avahi during install if libvirt was built with
avahi support, but there are many situations where it is undesirable
to install avahi due to security concerns. This patch requires only
the avahi-libs package, which is needed by libvirt to call the
function that tries to attach to the avahi daemon, but will instead
silently fail because the avahi-daemon is in the main avahi package,
and that package isn't installed.
To assist people in verifying that their host is operating in an
optimal manner, provide a 'virt-host-validate' command. For each
type of hypervisor, it will check any pre-requisites, or other
good recommendations and report what's working & what is not.
eg
# virt-host-validate
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/kvm : FAIL (Check that the 'kvm-intel' or 'kvm-amd' modules are loaded & the BIOS has enabled virtualization)

QEMU: Checking for device /dev/net/tun : PASS
LXC: Checking for Linux >= 2.6.26 : PASS
This warns people if they have vmx/svm, but don't have /dev/kvm. It
also warns about missing /dev/vhost net.

Commit ecd8725 tried to silence a spurious warning on the initial
libvirt install, and commit ba6cbb1 tried to fix up the logic to the
correct Fedora version, but the warning was still present due to a
logic bug: since %{fedora} and %{rhel} are never simulatanously
set, then 0%{rhel} <= 6 made the %if always true. Checking for
minimum versions (via >=) is okay, but checking for maximum versions
(via <=) requires a prerequisite test that the platform being tested
is non-zero.
Also fix a bogus setting of with_libxl (although we previously
hard-code with_libxl to 0 for rhel earlier in the file, so this
was not as severe a bug).
* libvirt.spec.in (with_cgconfig): Don't enable cgconfig on F16.
Over time, Fedora and RHEL RPMs have often backported upstream
patches that touched configure.ac and/or Makefile.am; this
necessitates rerunning the autotools for the patch to be effective.
Making this a one-liner spec tweak will make it easier for future
backports to pull patches without having to find all the places
to touch to properly use the autotools. Meanwhile, there have been
historical instances where an update in the autotools caused FTBFS
situations, so this is not on by default.
* libvirt.spec.in (enable_autotools): New variable, default off.
(BuildRequires): Conditionally add autotools.
(%build): Conditionally use them before configure.
* mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Likewise.
The %makeinstall macro does not set DESTDIR, instead of explicitly
prefixes %{buildroot} onto all paths. Thus we need to do the same
when setting the systemd unit dir
* libvirt.spec.in: Prefix %{buildroot} onto %{unitdir}
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694403 reports that
the specfile is incorrectly checking for a running libvirt-guests

libvirt-guests 0:desactivado 1:desactivado 2:desactivado 3:activo 4:activo 5:activo 6:desactivado
will fail to find 5:on, even though it is active. But chkconfig
already has a mode where you can silently use the exit status to
check for an active service.
* libvirt.spec.in (%post): Use simpler chkconfig options, to avoid
issues with localization.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754909 complains that
because libvirt didn't require dmidecode, that the logs are noisy
and virConnectGetSysinfo needlessly fails. Even 'virt-what' requires
dmidecode, so it's not that onerous of a dependency. We may be
able to drop this in the future when we move to parsing sysfs data,
but for now, listing the dependency will help matters.
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Sort Requires before BuildRequires.
Add dmidecode.
We have several directories that are created on the fly, and which
only contain state relevant to a running libvirtd process (all
located in /var/run). Since the directories are created as needed,
and make no sense without a running libvirtd, we want them deleted
if libvirt is uninstalled. And in F15 and newer, /var/run is on
tmpfs (forcing us to recreate on the fly); which means that someone
trying to verify a complete rpm will fail if the directory does not
currently exist because libvirtd has not been started since boot.
The solution, then, is to mark the directories as %ghost, so that
rpm knows that we own them and will clean it up if libvirt is
uninstalled, but will no longer create the directory for us at
install, nor complain at verify time if the directory does not exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656611.
* libvirt.spec.in (%files): Add %ghost to temporary directories
that we don't install, but want cleaned up on libvirt removal.
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
This patch adds support for a systemd init service for libvirtd
and libvirt-guests. The libvirtd.service is *not* written to use
socket activation, since we want libvirtd to start on boot so it
can do guest auto-start.
The libvirt-guests.service is pretty lame, just exec'ing the
original init script for now. Ideally we would factor out the
functionality, into some shared tool.
Instead of
./configure --with-init-script=redhat

./configure --with-init-script=systemd

when building libvirt in Fedora/s390x I've found that xenlight needs to
be explicitly disabled in the spec file. Configure properly sets the
library as non-existent, but the %files section still wants to package
the 3 /var/*/libvirt/libxl directories. See also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745020
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740899 documents that
if qemu uses aio=native for its disks, then it consumes 128 aio
requests per disk. On a host with multiple guests, this can quickly
run out of kernel aio requests with the default aio-max-nr of
65536. Kernel developers have confirmed that there is no up-front
cost to raising this limit (a larger limit merely implies that more
aio requests can be issued in parallel, which in turn will result
in more kernel memory allocation, only if the system really does use
that many requests). Since the system default limit prevents 256
disks, which is well within libvirt's current scalability, this
patch installs a file to raise the limit and document it in case a
system administrator has further cause to tune the limit. The
install only works on platforms new enough to source /etc/sysctl.d/*
alongside /etc/sysctl.conf (F14 and RHEL 6).
* daemon/libvirtd.sysctl: New file.
* daemon/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Ship it.

Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.
For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and
sanlock_align

SysV services.
(%post) [with_cgconfig]: Drop for Fedora 15 and newer, where
systemd does this automatically.
This patch will probably cause merge conflicts to those trying
to do backports. The end goal is simple - domaincommon.rng
should be the state of domain.rng pre-patch, with a few lines
tweaked in the header, while domain.rng post-patch is now just
a shell that includes domaincommon.rng and sets the <start>.

The sanlock plugin for libvirt expects the directory
/var/lib/libvirt/sanlock to exist. Create this and add
it to the RPM
* libvirt.spec.in: Add /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
* src/Makefile.am: Create /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).
We disable some drivers when building without libvirtd in configure,
but we do not do the same thing in libvirt.spec. It may break rpm
building without libvirtd.
domain.rng, network.rng, and interface.rng already use a few of the
same types (or in some cases *should* but don't), and an upcoming code
change will have them sharing even more. To prepare for that, this
patch takes those common data type definitions and moves them into
basictypes.rng.
This may break some rule about the need to RNG files to be autonomous
or something, but I saw that storageencryption.rng is used in this
way, so I figured it must not be completely against the law...
The current sanlock plugin requires a central management
application to manually add <lease> elements to each guest,
to protect resources that are assigned to it (eg writable
disks). This makes the sanlock plugin useless for usage
in more ad hoc deployment environments where there is no
central authority to associate disks with leases.
This patch adds a mode where the sanlock plugin will
automatically create leases for each assigned read-write
disk, using a md5 checksum of the fully qualified disk
path. This can work pretty well if guests are using
stable disk paths for block devices eg /dev/disk/by-path/XXXX
symlinks, or if all hosts have NFS volumes mounted in
a consistent pattern.
The plugin will create one lockspace for managing disks
with filename /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/__LIBVIRT__DISKS__.
For each VM disks, there will be another file to hold
a lease /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/5903e5d25e087e60a20fe4566fab41fd
Each VM disk lease is usually 1 MB in size. The script
virt-sanlock-cleanup should be run periodically to remove
unused lease files from the lockspace directory.
To make use of this capability the admin will need to do
several tasks:
- Mount an NFS volume (or other shared filesystem)
on /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
- Configure 'host_id' in /etc/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf
with a unique value for each host with the same NFS
mount
- Toggle the 'auto_disk_leases' parameter in qemu-sanlock.conf
Technically the first step can be skipped, in which case
sanlock will only protect against 2 vms on the same host
using the same disk (or the same VM being started twice
due to error by libvirt).
* src/locking/libvirt_sanlock.aug,

To install it, disable libvirtd sysv initscript:
chkconfig libvirtd off
service libvirtd stop
and enable libvirtd upstart job:
cp /usr/share/doc/libvirt-*/libvirtd.upstart \
/etc/init/libvirtd.conf
initctl reload-configuration
initctl start libvirtd
Test:
initctl status libvirtd
libvirtd start/running, process 3929
killall -9 libvirtd
initctl status libvirtd
libvirtd start/running, process 4047
I looked into the possibility to use the upstart script from Ubuntu or
at least getting inspiration from it but that's not possible. "expect
daemon" is a nice thing but it only works if the process is defined with
exec stanza instead of script ... no script. Unfortunately, with exec
stanza environment variables can only be set within upstart script
(i.e., configuration in /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd can't work). Hence, we
need to use script stanza, source sysconfig, and execute libvirtd
without --daemon. For similar reasons we can't use limit stanza and need
to handle DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT in job's script.

The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.
Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.
The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.
Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

Add a new xen driver based on libxenlight [1], which is the primary
toolstack starting with Xen 4.1.0. The driver is stateful and runs
privileged only.
Like the existing xen-unified driver, the libxenlight driver is
accessed with xen:// URI. Driver selection is based on the status
of xend. If xend is running, the libxenlight driver will not load
and xen:// connections are handled by xen-unified. If xend is not
running *and* the libxenlight driver is available, xen://
connections are deferred to the libxenlight driver.
V6:
- Address several code style issues noted by Daniel Veillard
- Make drive work with xen:/// URI
- Hold domain object reference while domain is injected in
libvirt event loop. Race found and fixed by Markus Groß.
V5:

is destroyed. Discovered and fixed by Markus Groß.
V4:
- Handle restart of libvirtd, reconnecting to previously
started domains
- Rebased to current master
- Tested against Xen 4.1 RC7-pre (c/s 22961:c5d121fd35c0)
V3:

When building for an older distro, it's convenient to just

This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609463
The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".
The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).
Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.
I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.
Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

The logging functions are enhanced so that immediately prior to
the first log message being printed to any output channel, the
libvirt package version will be printed.
eg
$ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
18:13:28.013: 17536: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7
18:13:28.013: 17536: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers
...
The 'configure' script gains two new arguments which can be
used as
--with-packager="Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10"
--with-packager-version="1.fc14"
to allow distros to append a custom string with package specific
data.
The RPM specfile is modified so that it appends the RPM version,
the build host, the build date and the packager name.
eg
$ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
18:14:52.086: 17551: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7, package: 1.fc13 (Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10)
18:14:52.086: 17551: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers
Thus when distro packagers receive bug reports they can clearly
see what version was in use, even if the bug reporter mistakenly
or intentionally lies about version/builds
* src/util/logging.c: Output version data prior to first log message
* libvirt.spec.in: Include RPM release, date, hostname & packager
* configure.ac: Add --with-packager & --with-packager-version args
When I build libvirt without libvirtd, I receive some errors:
cp: cannot stat `/home/wency/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libvirt-0.8.6-1.el6.x86_64/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml': No such file or directory
My build step:
# ./autogen.sh --without-libvirtd
# make dist
# rpmbuild --nodeps --define "_sourcedir `pwd`" --define "_without_libvirtd 1" -ba libvirt.spec
The reason is we disable network when we do not build libvirt daemon in configure.ac.
After fixing this bug, I build libvirt without libvirtd, I receive other errors:

A number of the libvirt APIs require the use of cgroups. This is not
enabled by default on a RHEL6 install. After discussion with cgroups
team, it was decided that upon installation of the libvirt RPM, we
should automatically turn on the cgroups service. This will activate a
default configuration that turns on all cgroups controllers libvirt
requires for full operation.

Regression of forcing 0700 permissions (which breaks guest startup
because the qemu user can't see /var/lib/libvirt/*.monitor) was
introduced in commit 66823690e, as part of libvirt 0.8.2.
* libvirt.spec.in (%files): Drop %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt,
since libvirt depends on libvirt-client.
(%files client): Guarantee 755 permissions on
%(_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt, since the qemu user must be able to
do pathname resolution to a subdirectory.
Adds initial support for dtrace static probes in libvirtd
daemon, assuming use of systemtap dtrace compat shim on
Linux. The probes are inserted for network client connect,
disconnect, TLS handshake states and authentication protocol
states.
This can be tested by running the xample program and then
attempting to connect with any libvirt client (virsh,
virt-manager, etc).
# stap examples/systemtap/client.stp
Client fd=44 connected readonly=0
Client fd=44 auth polkit deny pid:24997,uid:500
Client fd=44 disconnected
Client fd=46 connected readonly=1
Client fd=46 auth sasl allow test
Client fd=46 disconnected
The libvirtd.stp file should also really not be required,
since it is duplicated info that is already available in
the main probes.d definition file. A script to autogenerate
the .stp file is needed, either in libvirtd tree, or better
as part of systemtap itself.
* Makefile.am: Add examples/systemtap subdir

Integrate with libaudit.so for auditing of important operations.
libvirtd gains a couple of config entries for auditing. By
default it will enable auditing, if its enabled on the host.
It can be configured to force exit if auditing is disabled
on the host. It will can also send audit messages via libvirt
internal logging API

macro to report data. This is a no-op unless auditing is
enabled

Vdsm needs to communicate with its guest agent via unix domain socket,
which qemu creates due to the following domain xml device:
<channel type='unix'>
<target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm'/>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels/fcp-xp-1.com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm'/>
</channel>
The location of the socket below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels makes
sense, to humans and selinux policy alike. However, that socket should
be accessible to vdsm, too.
Due to other (storage) reasons, vdsm is to join the "qemu" group. With
this patch, vdsm can look below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu and connect to the
socket.
The socket itself should be chmod'ed to allow qemu group read/write, but
that's for another project.
BZ#643407
--dhcp-no-override description from dnsmasq man page:
Disable re-use of the DHCP servername and filename fields as
extra option space. If it can, dnsmasq moves the boot server and
filename information (from dhcp-boot) out of their dedicated
fields into DHCP options. This make extra space available in the
DHCP packet for options but can, rarely, confuse old or broken
clients. This flag forces "simple and safe" behaviour to avoid
problems in such a case.
It seems some virtual network card ROMs are this old/buggy so let's add
--dhcp-no-override as a workaround for them. We don't use extra DHCP
options so this should be safe. The option was added in dnsmasq-2.41,
which becomes the minimum required version.
This patch removes the individual author names from the libvirtd and virsh
man pages, instead referring to the main AUTHORS file distributed with
libvirt. This approach is needed, as we can't guarantee unicode support
across all versions of pod2man used with libvirt.
Additionally, this patch includes the libvirtd man page in the spec file
used with "make rpm". Without this patch "make rpm" is broken.
Firstly, the init script has to touch its file under /var/lock/subsys
when started, otherwise the system would think it's not running and
won't stop it during shutdown.
Secondly, for some reason there is a policy to automatically enable
init scripts when they are installed, so let the specfile do this. We
also need to start the init script to ensure it will be stopped during
the first shutdown after installing the package.
Also $LISTFILE should be enclosed by quotes everywhere as suggested by
Eric.
This patch introduces a dependency on libnl, which subsequent patches
will then use.
Changes from V1 to V2:
- added diffstats
- following changes in tree

lxc:/// 9cba8bfb-56f4-6589-2d12-8a58c886dd3b
Add ebtables,iptables & iptables-ipv6 dependency to rpm.
Changes from V1 to V2:
-passing --without-libpcap to configure script, if libpcap is not to be used
This includes various things:
- fix the Requires: libvirt-client to use %{name} to allow easy
renaming
- when building ESX support one need libcurl-devel
- remove Makefile[.in] from xml/nwfilter in the docs, as this breaks
parallel install ation of i686 and x86_64 packages
- don't include nwfilter config files if not building with the daemon
all relatively trivial which is why I packed them together
* libvirt.spec.in: fix various small bugs
use /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq since /var/lib/libvirt/network is
unreadable by the dnsmasq binary
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: update DNSMASQ_STATE_DIR
* src/Makefile.am: create it on make install
* libvirt.spec.in: take the new directory into account
To ensure that patches in the RPM don't break any functionality
it is neccessary to run the test suites during build. It currently
has 3 tests disabled
- daemon-conf: this is totally broken, since it relies on
being able to resolve the 'libvirt' group & being able to
resolve hostnames at daemon startup. This isn't possible
in a mock build root
- seclabeltest: fails to initialize selinux in the mock
build root. Possibly fixable
- nodeinfotest: broken on s390 + ppc - this is a real bug
* libvirt.spec.in: Add a %check section, with 3 tests
temporarily disabled
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in src/libvirt_public.syms:
updates for release of 0.8.0
* po/*.po po/libvirt.pot: updated a lar set of localizations, and merge
the messages
This patch implements support for learning a VM's IP address. It uses
the pcap library to listen on the VM's backend network interface (tap)
or the physical ethernet device (macvtap) and tries to capture packets
with source or destination MAC address of the VM and learn from DHCP
Offers, ARP traffic, or first-sent IPv4 packet what the IP address of
the VM's interface is. This then allows to instantiate the network
traffic filtering rules without the user having to provide the IP
parameter somewhere in the filter description or in the interface
description as a parameter. This only supports to detect the parameter
IP, which is for the assumed single IPv4 address of a VM. There is not
support for interfaces that may have multiple IP addresses (IP
aliasing) or IPv6 that may then require more than one valid IP address
to be detected. A VM can have multiple independent interfaces that each
uses a different IP address and in that case it will be attempted to
detect each one of the address independently.
So, when for example an interface description in the domain XML has
looked like this up to now:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='IP' value='10.2.3.4'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
you may omit the IP parameter:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
Internally I am walking the 'tree' of a VM's referenced network filters
and determine with the given variables which variables are missing. Now,
the above IP parameter may be missing and this causes a libvirt-internal
thread to be started that uses the pcap library's API to listen to the
backend interface (in case of macvtap to the physical interface) in an
attempt to determine the missing IP parameter. If the backend interface
disappears the thread terminates assuming the VM was brought down. In
case of a macvtap device a timeout is being used to wait for packets
from the given VM (filtering by VM's interface MAC address). If the VM's
macvtap device disappeared the thread also terminates. In all other
cases it tries to determine the IP address of the VM and will then apply
the rules late on the given interface, which would have happened
immediately if the IP parameter had been explicitly given. In case an
error happens while the firewall rules are applied, the VM's backend
interface is 'down'ed preventing it to communicate. Reasons for failure
for applying the network firewall rules may that an ebtables/iptables
command failes or OOM errors. Essentially the same failure reasons may
occur as when the firewall rules are applied immediately on VM start,
except that due to the late application of the filtering rules the VM
now is already running and cannot be hindered anymore from starting.
Bringing down the whole VM would probably be considered too drastic.
While a VM's IP address is attempted to be determined only limited
updates to network filters are allowed. In particular it is prevented
that filters are modified in such a way that they would introduce new
variables.
A caveat: The algorithm does not know which one is the appropriate IP
address of a VM. If the VM spoofs an IP address in its first ARP traffic
or IPv4 packets its filtering rules will be instantiated for this IP
address, thus 'locking' it to the found IP address. So, it's still
'safer' to explicitly provide the IP address of a VM's interface in the
filter description if it is known beforehand.
* configure.ac: detect libpcap
* libvirt.spec.in: require libpcap[-devel] if qemu is built
* src/internal.h: add the new ATTRIBUTE_PACKED define
* src/Makefile.am src/libvirt_private.syms: add the new modules and symbols

src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.[ch]
src/nwfilter/nwfilter_gentech_driver.[ch]: plu the new functionality in
* tests/nwfilterxml2xmltest: extend testing
This patch adds a relaxng nwfilter schema along with a test that
verifies all the test output XML against the schema. The input XMLs
contain a lot of intentional out-of-range values that make them fail the
schema verification, so I am not verifying against those.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao): Also check for [.
* docs/Makefile.am (%.html, html/index.html): Avoid non-portable
test usage.
* libvirt.spec.in (%post): Likewise.
* tools/virt-pki-validate.in (servercert.pem): Likewise.
* configure.ac (LOGNAME): Use test, not [, in files processed by
autoconf.
Detected by Matthias Bolte.
* examples/xml/nwfilter/Makefile.am: add all xml to the distribution
* libvirt.spec.in: reference them from the rpm spec file to have them
available in the main libvirt package
Having a single logrotate configuration file for all hypervisors
did not work as logrotate would get confused if an hypervisor not
supported on that platform was still listed. Simplest is to split
the logrotate as separate per hypervisor files and change the
spec file to only install the ones compiled in.
* daemon/libvirtd.lxc.logrotate.in daemon/libvirtd.qemu.logrotate.in
daemon/libvirtd.uml.logrotate.in: copy and split the original
daemon/libvirtd.logrotate.in file
* daemon/Makefile.am: update to support the different files and
cleanup in sed suggested by Eric Blake
* libvirt.spec.in: only install the relevant logrotate configs
* daemon/.gitignore: update logrotate generated list
* configure.ac libvirt.spec.in: update with new version
* docs/news.html.in: add list of changes in 0.7.7
* po/*po*: updated spanish and russian localisations, rebuilt
Create the filesystem on the partition used by the pool
* configure.ac: check for mkfs availability
* libvirt.spec.in: add extra require on util-linux for mkfs
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: run mkfs with the expected
fs type when creating a filesystem pool
Long ago we tried to use Fedora's lokkit utility in order to register
our iptables rules so that 'service iptables restart' would
automatically load our rules.
There was one fatal flaw - if the user had configured iptables without
lokkit, then we would clobber that configuration by running lokkit.
We quickly disabled lokkit support, but never removed it. Let's do
that now.
The 'my virtual network stops working when I restart iptables' still
remains. For all the background on this saga, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/227011
* src/util/iptables.c: remove lokkit support
* configure.in: remove --enable-lokkit
* libvirt.spec.in: remove the dirs used only for saving rules for lokkit
* src/Makefile.am: ditto
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/util/iptables.h: remove references to iptablesSaveRules
This introduces simple API for handling JSON data. There is
an internal data structure 'virJSONValuePtr' which stores a
arbitrary nested JSON value (number, string, array, object,
nul, etc). There are APIs for constructing/querying objects
and APIs for parsing/formatting string formatted JSON data.
This uses the YAJL library for parsing/formatting from
http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/
* src/util/json.h, src/util/json.c: Data structures and APIs
for representing JSON data, and parsing/formatting it
* configure.in: Add check for yajl library
* libvirt.spec.in: Add build requires for yajl
* src/Makefile.am: Add json.c/h
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export JSON symbols to drivers
0.7.3 was broken
* configure.in docs/news.html.in: release of 0.7.4
* configure.in libvirt.spec.in: require netcf >= 0.1.4
* src/Makefile.am: node_device/node_device_udev.h was missing from
NODE_DEVICE_DRIVER_UDEV_SOURCES breaking compilation on platforms with
udev
HAL has been deprecated since F12 and RHEL-6, so if building on
these platforms, switch on the udev driver instead
* libvirt.spec.in: Activate udev on F12/RHEL6
This patch adds the flag VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE to
virInterfaceGetXMLDesc's flags. When it is*not* set (the default), the
live interface info will be returned in the XML (in particular, the IP
address(es) and netmask(s) will be retrieved by querying the interface
directly, rather than reporting what's in the config file). The
backend of this is in netcf's ncf_if_xml_state() function.
* configure.in libvirt.spec.in: requires netcf >= 0.1.3
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: adds flag VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE
* src/conf/interface_conf.c src/interface/netcf_driver.c src/libvirt.c:
update the parsing and backend routines accordingly
* tools/virsh.c: change interface edit to inactive definition and
adds the inactive flag for interface dump
There's a long known issue where if you install libvirt in a guest,
the default virtual network will conflict with the default virtual
network in the host.
That's one of the reasons we have the libvirt-client RPM - it allows
you to install the client library without having the host side
installed.
Rich Jones points out that if you install libvirt-devel in a guest,
then you get libvirtd installed and the network conflict:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/531200
libvirt-devel should only require libvirt-client - e.g. nothing in
the devel package pertains to anything in the libvirt RPM. The Fedora
packaging guidelines say:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Devel_Packages
Devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned
dependency ...
But for all intents and purposes, libvirt-client is our base RPM.
* libvirt.spec.in: make libvirt-devel require libvirt-client
* src/lxc/lxc.conf: new configuration file, there is currently one
tunable "log_with_libvirtd" that controls whether an lxc controller will
log only to the container log file, or whether it will honor libvirtd's
log output configuration. This provides a way to have libvirtd and its
children log to a single file. The default is to log to the container
log file.
* src/Makefile.am libvirt.spec.in: add the new file
* src/lxc/lxc_conf.[ch] src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: read the new log value
from the configuration file and pass the log informations when
starting up a container.
Otherwise logrotate barfs:
error: error accessing /var/log/libvirt/uml: No such file or directory
error: libvirtd:1 glob failed for /var/log/libvirt/uml/*.log
error: found error in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/*.log /var/log/libvirt/uml/*.log /var/log/libvirt/lxc/*.log , skipping
* qemud/Makefile.am: always create /var/log/libvirt/{lxc,uml} when
installing the logrotate conf; not ideal, but easier than making
the logrotate conf depend on which drivers are enabled
* Makefile.am: examples/domain-events/events-python should be added
to dist tarball
* libvirt.spec.in: there is no makefile in domain-events but in
domain-events/events-c and python/libvirtclass.txt has vanished
* docs/storage/: Move to examples/xml/storage/
* docs/test*.xml: Move to examples/xml/test/
* docs/Makefile.am: Remove example XML files from dist
* Makefile.am: Add examples/xml to EXTRA_DIST
* tests/virshtest.c: Update for moved test XML

in POD man page documentation
* tools/.gitignore: Ignore generated virt-pki-validate file

virt-pki-validate.1
* docs/remote.html, docs/remote.html.in: Refer to new tool
name virt-pki-validate
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add virt-pki-validate
and virt-pki-validate.1 to files list
* Makefile.am: Add examples/dominfo examples/domsuspend examples/python
as SUBDIRS
* configure.in: Update AC_OUTPUT for new/old Makefiles
* docs/Makefile.am: Remove examples from SUBDIRS
* docs/examples/info1.c: Move to examples/dominfo/info1.c

* docs/examples/python: Moved to examples/python/
* examples/dominfo/Makefile.am, examples/domsuspend/Makefile.am: New
build files
* libvirt.spec.in: Update to take account of moved examples
Some architectures in certain RHEL versions do not include any
hypervisors. Update the specfile to allow those to easily build
a remote client only version of libvirt. ie no libvirtd related
bits at all.
* qemud/Makefile.am: Always instal SASL config since its needed
by client too
* libvirt.spec.in: Re-factor specfile conditionals to allow entire
server side build to be disabled easily, eg a remote client only
build. Make RHEL-5 do client only build for s390/ppc. Make RHEL-6
do a client only build for all non-x86_64 archs. Enable LXC on
RHEL-6. Enable all Fedora >= 6 features on RHEL-6 too. Add some
more conditionals around dnsmasq/iptables/hal Requires tags.
Add missing e2fsprogs-devel BR for RHEL-5 as workaround for broken
parted. Fix the device mapper BR for RHEL-5. Add conditional rules
for ESX build. Add conditional rules for SELinux + HAL builds.
Fix a mistaken %{with_qemu} to be %{with_network} when setting
up default network XML
lzop was removed due to some confusion over whether it provided functional
advantages distinct from xz. This has been addressed in the mailing list post
archived at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt/16487, and
support for lzop is re-added here.
* libvirt.spec.in: add dependancy on lzop
* src/qemu.conf: update documentation of save_image_format
* src/qemu_driver.c: re-add lzop compression option
* src/qemu_driver.c: drop lzma and lzop images compression options
as they are deprecated by xz
* libvirt.spec.in: add requires for xz/bzip2/gzip as they are needed
to implement the compression options
Separate the guest created QEMU monitor socket location
from the libvirtd create XML / PID data files, to improve
security separation when running QEMU non-root
* libvirt.spec.in: Leave /var/run/libvirt/qemu as root:root
* src/qemu_conf.h: Add libDir and cacheDir directory paths
* src/qemu_driver.c: Move QEMU monitor socket from
stateDir to libDir to avoid making security critical directory
accessible to QEMU guests.
* src/util.c: Delay running hook till after damonizing to
ensure pidfile is still written before changing UID/GID
Define an <encryption> tag specifying volume encryption format and
format-depenedent parameters (e.g. passphrase, cipher name, key
length, key).
Currently the only defined parameter is a reference to a "secret"
(passphrase/key) managed using the virSecret* API.
Only the qcow/qcow2 encryption format, and a "default" format used to
let libvirt choose the format during volume creation, is currently
supported.
This patch does not add any users; the <encryption> tag is added in
the following patches to both volumes (to support encrypted volume
creation) and domains.
* docs/*.html: Re-generate
* docs/formatstorageencryption.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in:
Add page describing storage encryption data format
* docs/schemas/Makefile.am, docs/schemas/storageencryption.rng:
Add RNG schema for storage encryption format
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/storage_encryption_conf.c
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virStorageEncryption* functions
* src/storage_encryption_conf.h, src/storage_encryption_conf.c: Internal
helper APIs for dealing with storage encryption format
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add storageencryption.rng
RNG schema
This patch adds a "secret" as a separately managed object, using a
special-purpose API to transfer the secret values between nodes and
libvirt users.
* docs/schemas/secret.rng, docs/schemas/Makefilem.am: Add new
schema for virSecret objects
* docs/*html: Re-generated
* docs/formatsecret.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in: Add page
describing the virSecret XML schema
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define the new virSecret public
API
* src/libvirt_public.syms: Export symbols for new public APIs
* mingw32-libvirt.spec.in, libvirt.spec.in: Add secret.rng to
files list
* configure.in: Check for pkcheck which indicates new policykit
* qemud/Makefile.am: Install different versions of policy
* qemud/libvirtd.policy: Rename to libvirtd.policy-0
* qemud/libvirtd.policy-1: new style policy
* qemud/qemud.c, qemud/qemud.h, qemud/remote.c: Support new
policykit API via external pkcheck helper
* src/remote_internal.c: Don't prompt for polkit auth with new
policykit API
* libvirt.spec.in: deal with new policy install locations & deps
Allow qemu user to open kernel/initrds in this dir, but still prevent
others from listing it.
* libvirt.spec.in: set /var/lib/libvirt/boot perms to 0711
polkit was disabled by default for a reason - because we selectively
enable it on newer fedoras rather than disable it on older fedoras
Same fix needed for netcf
It's not needed at build time
Removed in Fedora by:
* Fri Jun 5 2009 Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> - 0.6.4-2.fc12
- Remove the qemu BuildRequires
Disabled on < f12 for now until netcf is in Fedora updates
BuildRequires netcf if enabled, pass --without-netcf if its disabled
* libvirt.spec.in: enabled netcf by default
* libvirt.spec.in: make a client rpm with shared libs, client binaries
and resources needed by those, and a small number of fixes and
cleanups in the spec file.
* configure.in: Add --with-qemu-user and --with-qemu-group args
* libvirt.spec.in: use 'qemu' for user/group for Fedora >= 12
* qemud/libvirtd_qemu.arg, qemud/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug,
src/qemu.conf: Add 'user' and 'group' args for configuration
