If a virtual machine is destroyed on a ESX server then immediately
undefining this virtual machine on a vCenter may fail, because the
vCenter has not been informed about the status change yet. Therefore,
destroy a virtual machine on a vCenter if available, so the vCenter
is up-to-date when the virtual machine should be undefined.
Undefining a virtual machine on an ESX server leaves a orphan on the
vCenter behind. So undefine a virtual machine on a vCenter if available
to fix this problem.
If an ESX host is managed by a vCenter, it knows the IP address of the
vCenter. Setting the vCenter query parameter to * allows to connect to the
vCenter known to an ESX host without the need to specify its IP address
or hostname explicitly.
esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive() lookup a domain by asking
ESX for all known domains and searching manually for the one with the
matching UUID. This is inefficient. The VI API allows to lookup by UUID
directly: FindByUuid().
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: change esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive()
to use esxVI_LookupVirtualMachineByUuid(), also reorder some functions to
keep them in sync with the driver struct
Questions can block tasks, to handle them automatically the driver can answers
them with the default answer. The auto_answer query parameter allows to enable
this automatic question handling.
* src/esx/README: add a detailed explanation for automatic question handling
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: add automatic question handling for all task related
driver functions
* src/esx/esx_util.[ch]: add handling for the auto_answer query parameter
* src/esx/esx_vi.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_methods.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_types.[ch]:
add new VI API methods and types and additional helper functions for
automatic question handling
Commit 33a198c1f6a4a1bc7f34d50a31032e03bec10fee increased the gcrypt
version requirement to 1.4.2 because the GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION
define was added in this version.
The configure script doesn't check for the gcrypt version. To support
gcrypt versions < 1.4.2 change the virTLSThreadImpl initialization
to use GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION only if it's defined.
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor

GNUTLS uses gcrypt for its crypto functions. gcrypt requires
that the app/library initializes threading before using it.
We don't want to force apps using libvirt to know about
gcrypt, so we make virInitialize init threading on their
behalf. This location also ensures libvirtd has initialized
it correctly. This initialization is required even if libvirt
itself were only using one thread, since another non-libvirt
library (eg GTK-VNC) could also be using gcrypt from another
thread
* src/libvirt.c: Register thread functions for gcrypt
* configure.in: Add -lgcrypt to linker flags
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix IsPersistent() and IsActivE()
methods on storage pools to use 'storagePrivateData' instead
of 'privateData'. Also fix naming convention of objects
* src/esx/esx_vi.c (esxVI_List_CastFromAnyType): For invalid
inputs, fail right away. Do not "goto failure" where a NULL
input pointer would be dereferenced.
* src/esx/esx_util.c (esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath): Return
right away for invalid inputs, rather than using them (which would
dereference NULL pointers) in clean-up code.
The virFileResolveLink utility function relied on the POSIX guarantee
that stat.st_size of a symlink is the length of the value. However,
on some types of file systems, it is invalid, so do not rely on it.
Use gnulib's areadlink module instead.
* bootstrap (modules): Add areadlink.
* src/util/util.c: Include "areadlink.h".
Let areadlink perform the readlink and malloc.
* configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink. No need,
since it's presence is guaranteed by gnulib.
* src/xen/xm_internal.c (xenXMConfigGetULong): Remove useless and
misleading test (always false) for val->str == NULL before code that
always dereferences val->str. "val" comes from virConfGetValue, and
at that point, val->str is guaranteed to be non-NULL.
(xenXMConfigGetBool): Likewise.
* src/util/conf.c (virConfSetValue): Ensure that vir->str is never NULL,
not even if someone tries to set such a value via virConfSetValue.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (doNonTunnelMigrate): Don't let a
NULL "uri_out" provoke a NULL-dereference in doNativeMigrate:
supply omitted goto-after-qemudReportError.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigratePrepareTunnel): Upon an
out of memory error, we would end up with unixfile==NULL and attempt
to unlink(NULL). Skip the unlink when it's NULL.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Set
"event" to NULL after qemuDomainEventQueue frees it, so a
subsequent free (after endjob label) upon qemuMonitorStartCPUs
failure does not cause a double free.
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c (update_driver_name): The
previous code would write one byte beyond the end of the 4KiB
stack buffer when presented with a symlink value of exactly that
length (very unlikely). Remove the automatic buffer and use
virFileResolveLink in place of readlink. Suggested by Daniel Veillard.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: virStorageBackendFileSystemDelete
was incorrectly calling unlink() in an attempt to remove a directory.
It should be calling rmdir() instead.
src/node_device/node_device_udev.c was using a function available only
on the daemon code, fix this and use the function available globally
* src/node_device/node_device_udev.c: replace use of virEventAddHandleImpl
by virEventAddHandle
If there are no references remaining to the object, vm is set to NULL
and vm->persistent cannot be accessed. Fixed by this trivial patch.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Avoid possible
NULL pointer dereference on --crash dump.
This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump. And for Xen, you just pass the flag down to xend.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): Add VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --live. (cmdDump): Map it to VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
This patch adds the --crash option (already present in "xm dump-core")
to "virsh dump". virDomainCoreDump already has a flags argument, so
the API/ABI is untouched.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): New flag for
CoreDump
* src/test/test_driver.c (testDomainCoreDump): Do not crash
after dump unless VIR_DUMP_CRASH is given.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Shutdown the domain
instead of restarting it if --crash is passed.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support --crash.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --crash.
(cmdDump): Map it to flags for virDomainCoreDump and pass them.
1) qemuMigrateToCommand uses ">>" so we have to truncate the file
before starting the migration;
2) the command wasn't updated to chown the driver and set/restore
the security lavels;
3) the VM does not have to be resumed if migration fails;
4) the file is not removed when migration fails.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainCoreDump): Truncate file before
dumping, set/restore ownership and security labels for the file.
Those were pointed by DanB in his review but not yet fixed
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: qemudWaitForMonitor() use EnterMonitorWithDriver()
and ExitMonitorWithDriver() there
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: checking fro strdu failure and hash
table add error in qemuMonitorTextGetPtyPaths()
This change makes the QEMU driver get pty paths from the output of the
monitor 'info chardev' command. This output is structured, and contains
both the name of the device and the path on the same line. This is
considerably more reliable than parsing the startup log output, which
requires the parsing code to know which order QEMU will print pty
information in.
Note that we still need to parse the log output as the monitor itself
may be on a pty. This should be rare, however, and the new code will
replace all pty paths parsed by the log output method once the monitor
is available.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.(c|h) src/qemu_monitor_text.(c|h): Implement
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths().
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Get pty path information using
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths().
