Instead of maintaining two very similar APIs, add the "@mac" parameter
to virNetworkGetDHCPLeases and kill virNetworkGetDHCPLeasesForMAC. Both
of those functions would return data the same way, so making @mac an
optional filter simplifies a lot of stuff.
The new VIR_CONNECT_COMPARE_CPU_FAIL_INCOMPATIBLE flag for
virConnectCompareCPU can be used to get an error
(VIR_ERR_CPU_INCOMPATIBLE) describing the incompatibility instead of the
usual VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE return code.

When CPU comparison APIs return VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE, the caller
has no clue why the CPU is considered incompatible with host CPU. And in
some cases, it would be nice to be able to get such info in a client
rather than having to look in logs.
To achieve this, the APIs can be told to return VIR_ERR_CPU_INCOMPATIBLE
error for incompatible CPUs and the reason will be described in the
associated error message.

Introduce 3 new APIs, virNetworkGetDHCPLeases, virNetworkGetDHCPLeasesForMAC
and virNetworkDHCPLeaseFree.
* virNetworkGetDHCPLeases: returns the dhcp leases information for a given
virtual network.
For DHCPv4, the information returned:
- Network Interface Name
- Expiry Time
- MAC address
- IAID (NULL)
- IPv4 address (with type and prefix)
- Hostname (can be NULL)
- Client ID (can be NULL)
For DHCPv6, the information returned:
- Network Interface Name
- Expiry Time
- MAC address
- IAID (can be NULL, only in rare cases)
- IPv6 address (with type and prefix)
- Hostname (can be NULL)
- Client DUID
Note: @mac, @iaid, @ipaddr, @clientid are in ASCII form, not raw bytes.
Note: @expirytime can 0, in case the lease is for infinite time.
* virNetworkGetDHCPLeasesForMAC: returns the dhcp leases information for a
given virtual network and specified MAC Address.
* virNetworkDHCPLeaseFree: allows the upper layer application to free the
network interface object conveniently.
There is no support for flags, so user is expected to pass 0 for
both the APIs.
include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in:
* Define virNetworkGetDHCPLeases
* Define virNetworkGetDHCPLeasesForMAC
* Define virNetworkDHCPLeaseFree

* Export the new symbols
The aim of the API is to get information on number of free pages
on the system. The API behaves similar to the
virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory(). User passes starting NUMA cell, the
count of nodes that he's interested in, pages sizes (yes,
multiple sizes can be queried at once) and the counts are
returned in an array.

When the block job event was first added, it was for block pull,
where the active layer of the disk remains the same name. It was
also in a day where we only cared about local files, and so we
always had a canonical absolute file name. But two things have
changed since then: we now have network disks, where determining
a single absolute string does not really make sense; and we have
two-phase jobs (copy and active commit) where the name of the
active layer changes between the first event (ready, on the old
name) and second (complete, on the pivoted name).
Adam Litke reported that having an unstable string between events
makes life harder for clients. Furthermore, all of our API that
operate on a particular disk of a domain accept multiple strings:
not only the absolute name of the active layer, but also the
destination device name (such as 'vda'). As this latter name is
stable, even for network sources, it serves as a better string
to supply in block job events.
But backwards-compatibility demands that we should not change the
name handed to users unless they explicitly request it. Therefore,
this patch adds a new event, BLOCK_JOB_2 (alas, I couldn't think of
any nicer name - but at least Migrate2 and Migrate3 are precedent
for a number suffix). We must double up on emitting both old-style
and new-style events according to what clients have registered for
(see also how IOError and IOErrorReason emits double events, but
there the difference was a larger struct rather than changed
meaning of one of the struct members).
Unfortunately, adding a new event isn't something that can easily
be broken into pieces, so the commit is rather large.

We have a policy of avoiding enum types in structs in our public
API, because it is possible for a client to choose compiler options
that can change the in-memory ABI of that struct based on whether
the enum value occupies an int or a minimal size. But we missed
this for virDomainBlockJobInfo. We got lucky on little-endian
machines - if the enum fits minimal size (a char), we still end
up padding to the next long before the next field; but on
big-endian, a client interpreting the enum as a char would always
see 0 when the server supplies contents as an int.

Now that qemu 2.0 allows commit of the active layer, people are
attempting to use virsh blockcommit and getting into a stuck
state, because libvirt is unprepared to handle the two-phase
commit required by qemu.
Stepping back a bit, there are two valid semantics for a
commit operation:
1. Maintain a 'golden' base, and a transient overlay. Make
changes in the overlay, and if everything appears to work,
commit those changes into the base, but still keep the overlay
for the next round of changes; repeat the cycle as desired.
2. Create an external snapshot, then back up the stable state
in the backing file. Once the backup is complete, commit the
overlay back into the base, and delete the temporary snapshot.
Since qemu doesn't know up front which of the two styles is
preferred, a block commit of the active layer merely gets
the job into a synchronized state, and sends an event; then
the user must either cancel (case 1) or complete (case 2),
where qemu then sends a second event that actually ends the
job. However, until commit e6bcbcd, libvirt was blindly
assuming the semantics that apply to a commit of an
intermediate image, where there is only one sane conclusion
(the job automatically ends with fewer elements in the chain);
and getting stuck because it wasn't prepared for qemu to enter
a second phase of the job.
This patch adds a flag to the libvirt API that a user MUST
supply in order to acknowledge that they will be using two-phase
semantics. It might be possible to have a mode where if the
flag is omitted, we automatically do the case 2 semantics on
the user's behalf; but before that happens, I must do additional
patches to track the fact that we are doing an active commit
in the domain XML. Later patches will add support of the flag,
and once 2-phase semantics are working, we can then decide
whether to relax things to allow an omitted flag to cause an
automatic pivot.

The network and nwfilter drivers both have a need to update
firewall rules. The currently share no code for interacting
with iptables / firewalld. The nwfilter driver is fairly
tied to the concept of creating shell scripts to execute
which makes it very hard to port to talk to firewalld via
DBus APIs.
This patch introduces a virFirewallPtr object which is able
to represent a complete sequence of rule changes, with the
ability to have multiple transactional checkpoints with
rollbacks. By formally separating the definition of the rules
to be applied from the mechanism used to apply them, it is
also possible to write a firewall engine that uses firewalld
DBus APIs natively instead of via the slow firewalld-cmd.

Busy enterprise workloads hosted on large sized VM's tend to dirty

Several times in the past, qemu has implemented a new event,
but libvirt has not yet caught up to reporting that event to
the user applications. While it is possible to track libvirt
logs to see that an unknown event was received and ignored,
it would be nicer to copy what 'virsh qemu-monitor-command'
does, and expose this information to the end developer as
one of our unsupported qemu-specific commands.
If you find yourself needing to use this API for more than
just development purposes, please ask on the libvirt list
for a supported counterpart event to be added in libvirt.so.
While the supported virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny() API
takes an id which determines the signature of the callback,
this version takes a string filter and always uses the same
signature. Furthermore, I chose to expose this as a new API
instead of trying to add a new eventID at the top level, in
part because the generic option lacks event name filtering,
and in part because the normal domain event namespace should
not be polluted by a qemu-only event. I also added a flags
argument; unused for now, but we might decide to use it to
allow a user to request event names by glob or regex instead
of literal match.
This API intentionally requires full write access (while
normal event registration is allowed on read-only clients);
this is in part due to the fact that it should only be used
by debugging situations, and in part because the design of
per-event filtering in later patches ended up allowing for
duplicate registrations that could potentially be abused to
exhaust server memory - requiring write privileges means
that such abuse will not serve as a denial of service attack
against users with higher privileges.

At this point it has a limited functionality and is highly
experimental. Supported domain operations are:
* define
* start
* destroy
* dumpxml
* dominfo
It's only possible to have only one disk device and only one
network, which should be of type bridge.
Currently the qemuDomainGetBlockInfo will return allocation == physical
for most backing stores. For a qcow2 block backed device it's possible
to return the highest lv extent allocated from qemu for an active guest.
That is a value where allocation != physical and one would hope be less.
However, if the guest is not running, then the code falls back to returning
allocation == physical. This turns out to be problematic for rhev which
monitors the size of the backing store. During a migration, before the
VM has been started on the target and while it is deemed inactive on the
source, there's a small window of time where the allocation is returned
as physical triggering the code to extend the file unnecessarily.
Since rhev uses transient domains and this is edge condition for a transient
domain, rather than returning good status and allocation == physical when
this "window of opportunity" exists, this patch will check for a transient
(or non persistent) domain and return a failure to the caller rather than
returning the defaults. For a persistent domain, the defaults will be
returned. The description for the virDomainGetBlockInfo has been updated
to describe the phenomena.
With this patch, user can setup the throttle blkio cgorup
for domain through the virsh cmd, such as:
virsh blkiotune domain1 --device-read-bytes-sec /dev/sda1,1000000,/dev/sda2,2000000
--device-write-bytes-sec /dev/sda1,1000000 --device-read-iops-sec /dev/sda1,10000

Although this is an API change (not ABI though), real callers won't be

1. these callback members are read-only, so it is less likely that
someone is trying to assign into the struct members.
2. The only way to register a virConnectDomainEventGraphicsCallback is
to cast it through a call to virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny. That is,
even if the user's callback function leaves out the const, we never use
the typedef as the direct type of any API parameter. Since they are
already casting their function pointer into a munged type before
registering it, their code will continue to compile.

Doing DBus method calls using libdbus.so is tedious in the

This patch thus introduces methods virDBusCallMethod &
virDBusMessageRead, which are based on the code used for
sd_bus_call_method and sd_bus_message_read. This code in
systemd is under the LGPLv2+, so we're license compatible.
This code is probably pretty unintelligible unless you are
familiar with the DBus type system. So I added some API

cases to validate that I didn't screw up the adaptation

With container based virt, it is useful to be able to pass

This allows for containers to be auto-activated from incoming

will be used to send them to libvirtd, which will them pass
them down to libvirt_lxc, which will then pass them to the container

anyway (from const correctness POV). However, we don't want users to
change passed values, so we need to make the callback's argument const.
Although this is an API change (not ABI though), real callers won't be
impacted. Why?
1. these callback members are read-only, so it is less likely that
someone is trying to assign into the struct members.
2. The only way to register a virConnectDomainEventGraphicsCallback is
to cast it through a call to virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny. That is,
even if the user's callback function leaves out the const, we never use
the typedef as the direct type of any API parameter. Since they are
already casting their function pointer into a munged type before
registering it, their code will continue to compile.
Apps using libvirt will often have code like
if (virXXXX() < 0) {
virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError();
fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n",
err && err->message ? err->message :
"unknown error");
return -1;
}
Checking for a NULL error object or message leads to very
verbose code. A virGetLastErrorMessage() helper from libvirt
can simplify this to
if (virXXXX() < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n",
virGetLastErrorMessage());
return -1;
}

The existing virNodeDeviceDettach() assumes that there is only a
single PCI device assignment backend driver appropriate for any
hypervisor. This is no longer true, as the qemu driver is getting
support for PCI device assignment via VFIO. The new API
virNodeDeviceDetachFlags adds a driverName arg that should be set to
the exact same string set in a domain <hostdev>'s <driver name='x'/>
element (i.e. "vfio", "kvm", or NULL for default). It also adds a
flags arg for good measure (and because it's possible we may need it
when we start dealing with VFIO's "device groups").
With this patch, include public headers in "" form is only allowed
for "internal.h". And only the external tools (examples|tools|python
|include/libvirt) can include the public headers in <> form.
Add a virCgroupIsolateMount method which looks at where the
current process is place in the cgroups (eg /system/demo.lxc.libvirt)
and then remounts the cgroups such that this sub-directory
becomes the root directory from the current process' POV.

Add a new virDomainLxcEnterSecurityLabel() function as a
counterpart to virDomainLxcEnterNamespaces(), which can
change the current calling process to have a new security
context. This call runs client side, not in libvirtd
so we can't use the security driver infrastructure.
When entering a namespace, the process spawned from virsh
will default to running with the security label of virsh.
The actual desired behaviour is to run with the security
label of the container most of the time. So this changes
virsh lxc-enter-namespace command to invoke the
virDomainLxcEnterSecurityLabel method.
The current behaviour is:
LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 1 pts/0 00:00:00 systemd
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 3 pts/1 00:00:00 sh
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 24 ? 00:00:00 systemd-journal
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 29 ? 00:00:00 dhclient
staff_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 47 ? 00:00:00 ps
Note the ps command is running as unconfined_t, After this patch,
The new behaviour is this:
virsh -c lxc:/// lxc-enter-namespace dan -- /bin/ps -eZ
LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 1 pts/0 00:00:00 systemd
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 3 pts/1 00:00:00 sh
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 24 ? 00:00:00 systemd-journal
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 32 ? 00:00:00 dhclient
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 38 ? 00:00:00 ps
The '--noseclabel' flag can be used to skip security labelling.

Since the name (like scsi_host10) is not stable for vHBA, (it can
be changed either after recreating or system rebooting), current
API virNodeDeviceLookupByName is not nice to use for management app
in this case. (E.g. one wants to destroy the vHBA whose name has
been changed after system rebooting, he has to find out current
name first).
Later patches will support the persistent vHBA via storage pool,
with which one can identify the vHBA stably by the wwnn && wwpn
pair.
So this new API comes.
In commit 3ac26e2645 parameter "path" was
renamed to "disk" but this change was not reflected in the documentation.
Additionally, documentation of the "opaque" parameter was missing.
Working with virTypedParameters in clients written in C is ugly and
requires all clients to duplicate the same code. This set of APIs makes
this code for manipulating with virTypedParameters integral part of
libvirt so that all clients may benefit from it.
The api builder always associates comments to the last member it read,
not to the current member even if there was a comment for the previous
member and a comma was already seen.
This has the effect that the comment for the previous member gets
overwritten and the current member has no comment at all.
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

With the most recent patch from Claudio, I realized how many
indentation flaws we have in the libvirt.h.in file. Even though
they are harmless, it's still worth fixing them.
This patch adds a new API, virDomainOpenChannel, that uses streams to
connect to a virtio channel on a guest. This creates a secure
communication channel between a guest and a libvirt client.
This behaves the same as virDomainOpenConsole, except on channels
instead of console/serial/parallel devices.
Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.
Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).
Add VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA flag to virStorageVolCreateXML
and virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom. This flag requests metadata
preallocation when creating/cloning qcow2 images, resulting in creating
a sparse file with qcow2 metadata. It has only slightly larger disk usage
compared to new image with no allocation, but offers higher performance.
The virDomainShutdownFlags and virDomainReboot APIs allow the caller
to request the operation is implemented via either acpi button press
or a guest agent. For containers, a couple of other methods make
sense, a message to /dev/initctl, and direct kill(SIGTERM|HUP) of
the container init process.

To be able todo controlled shutdown/reboot of containers an
API to talk to init via /dev/initctl is required. Fortunately
this is quite straightforward to implement, and is supported
by both sysvinit and systemd. Upstart support for /dev/initctl
is unclear.

Add an API for sending signals to arbitrary processes in the
guest OS. This is primarily useful for container based virt,
but can be used for machine virt too, if there is a suitable
guest agent,
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virDomainSendProcessSignal
and virDomainProcessSignal enum
* src/driver.h: Driver entry point
* src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms: Impl for new API

This will call FITRIM within guest. The API has 4 arguments,
however, only 2 will be used for now (@dom and @minumum).
The rest two are there if in future qemu guest agent learns them.
As we enable more modes of snapshot creation, it becomes more important
to be able to quickly filter based on snapshot properties. This patch
introduces new filter flags; subsequent patches will introduce virsh
back-compat filtering, as well as actual libvirt filtering.

five new flags in two new groups.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotNum, virDomainSnapshotListNames)
(virDomainListAllSnapshots, virDomainSnapshotNumChildren)
(virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames)
(virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): Document them.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.h (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_STATUS)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_LOCATION): Add new convenience filter
collection macros.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add 5 new flags.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document them.
