Both virGetLastError and virGetLastErrorMessage call virLastErrorObject method
that returns a thread-local error object. However, if a direct call to malloc
or pthread_setspecific (probably also due to malloc, since it sets ENOMEM)
fail, virLastErrorObject returns NULL which, although incorrectly interpreted
by virGetLastError as no error, still requires the caller to check for NULL
pointer. This isn't the case with virGetLastErrorMessage that also treated it
incorrectly as no error, but returned the literal "no error".
This patch tweaks the checks in the virGetLastErrorMessage function, so that
if virLastErrorObject failed, it returned "unknown error" which is equivalent
to the current approach with virGetLastError and if it returned NULL,
"unknown error" was set.

Just like with server-related APIs, before any of client-based APIs can be
called, a reference to a client-side client object needs to be obtained. For
this purpose, a lookup method should exist. Apart from the client retrieval
logic, a new error code for non-existent client had to be added as well.

When there isn't a ssh -X type session running and a user has not
been added to the libvirt group, attempts to run 'virsh -c qemu:///system'
commands from an otherwise unprivileged user will fail with rather
generic or opaque error message:
"error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate"
This patch will adjust the error code and message to help reflect the
situation that the problem is the requested mechanism is UNAVAILABLE and
a slightly more descriptive error. The result on a failure then becomes:
"error: authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to
authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage'"
A bit more history on this - at one time a failure generated the
following type message when running the 'pkcheck' as a subprocess:
"error: authentication failed: polkit\56retains_authorization_after_challenge=1
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available."
but, a patch was generated to adjust the error message to help provide
more details about what failed. This was pushed as commit id '96a108c99'.
That patch prepended a "polkit: " to the output. It really didn't solve
the problem, but gave a hint.
After some time it was deemed using DBus API calls directly was a
better way to go (since pkcheck calls them anyway). So, commit id
'1b854c76' (more or less) copied the code from remoteDispatchAuthPolkit
and adjusted it. Then commit id 'c7542573' adjusted the remote.c
code to call the new API (virPolkitCheckAuth). Finally, commit id
'308c0c5a' altered the code to call DBus APIs directly. In doing
so, it reverted the failing error message to the generic message
that would have been received from DBus anyway.
Copy the virtlockd codebase across to form the initial virlogd
code. Simple search & replace of s/lock/log/ and gut the remote
protocol & dispatcher. This gives us a daemon that starts up
and listens for connections, but does nothing with them.

virDomainMigrateFinish* APIs were unfortunately designed to return the
pointer to the domain on destination and NULL on error. This looks OK in
normal cases but the same API is also called when we know migration
failed and thus we expect Finish to return NULL even if it actually did
all it was supposed to do without any error. The call is defined to
return nonnull domain pointer over RPC, which means returning NULL will
always result in an error being send. If this was not in fact an error,
the API itself wouldn't set anything to the thread local virError, which
makes the RPC layer come up with it's own "Library function returned
error but did not set virError" error.
This is quite confusing and also hard to detect by the caller. This
patch adds a special error code which can be used to check that Finish
successfully aborted migration.

When acquiring resource via sanlock fails, we would report it as
VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, which is not very friendly to applications using
libvirt. Moreover, the lockd driver would report the same failure as
VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY, which looks better.
Unfortunately, in sanlock driver we don't really know if acquiring the
resource failed because it was already locked or there was another
reason behind. But the end result is the same and I think using
VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY reason for all acquire failures is still better
than what we have now.

up to do a job, and returned back to the pool.
The virThreadJobSet/virThreadJobClear APIs are to be called at the

The virDBusMethodCall method has a DBusError as one of its
parameters. If the caller wants to pass a non-NULL value
for this, it immediately makes the calling code require
DBus at build time. This has led to breakage of non-DBus
builds several times. It is desirable that only the virdbus.c
file should need WITH_DBUS conditionals, so we must ideally
remove the DBusError parameter from the method.
We can't simply raise a libvirt error, since the whole point
of this parameter is to give the callers a way to check if
the error is one they want to ignore, without having the logs
polluted with an error message. So, we add a virErrorPtr
parameter which the caller can then either ignore or raise
using the new virReportErrorObject method.
This new method is distinct from virSetError in that it
ensures the logging hooks are run.

There are now two places in libvirt which use polkit. Currently
they use pkexec, which is set to be replaced by direct DBus API
calls. Add a common API which they will both be able to use for
this purpose.
No tests are added at this time, since the impl will be gutted
in favour of a DBus API call shortly.

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.

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.

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs

As part of the goal to get away from doing string matching on
filenames when deciding whether to emit a log message, turn

statically declared per source file. To minimise churn in this
commit though, a single global instance is used.

The error reporting code will invoke a callback when any error
is raised and the default callback will print to stderr. The
virRaiseErrorFull method also sends all error messages on to the
logging code, which also prints to stderr by default. To avoid
duplicated data on stderr, the logging code has some logic to
skip emission when no log outputs are configured, which checks
whether the virLogSource == VIR_LOG_FROM_ERROR.
Meanwhile the libvirtd daemon can register another callback which
is used to reduce log message priority from error to a lower level.
When this is used we do want messages to end up on stderr, so the
error code will conditionally use either VIR_LOG_FROM_FILE or
VIR_LOG_FROM_ERROR depending on whether such a callback is provided.
This will all complicate later refactoring. By pushing the checks
for whether a log output is present up a level into the error code,
the special cases can be isolated in one place.

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.
Some of our operation denied messages are outright stupid; for
example, if virIdentitySetAttr fails:
error: operation Identity attribute is already set forbidden for read only access
This patch fixes things to a saner:
error: operation forbidden: Identity attribute is already set
It also consolidates the most common usage pattern for operation
denied errors: read-only connections preventing a public API. In
this case, 'virsh -r -c test:///default destroy test' changes from:
error: operation virDomainDestroy forbidden for read only access
to:
error: operation forbidden: read only access prevents virDomainDestroy
Note that we were previously inconsistent on which APIs used
VIR_FROM_DOM (such as virDomainDestroy) vs. VIR_FROM_NONE (such as
virDomainPMSuspendForDuration). After this patch, all uses
consistently use VIR_FROM_NONE, on the grounds that it is unlikely
that a caller learning that a call is denied can do anything in
particular with extra knowledge which error domain the call belongs
to (similar to what we did in commit baa7244).

I created a storage volume(eg: test) from a storage pool(eg:vg10) using
the following command:"virsh vol-create-as --pool vg10 --name test --capacity 300M."
When I re-executed the above command, the output was as the following:
"error: Failed to create vol test
error: Storage volume not found: storage vol 'test' already exists"
I think the output "Storage volume not found" is not appropriate. Because in fact storage
vol test has been found at this time. And then I think virErrorNumber should includes
VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST which can also be used elsewhere. So I make this patch. The result
is as following:
"error: Failed to create vol test
error: storage volume 'test' exists already"

Doing DBus method calls using libdbus.so is tedious in the
extreme. systemd developers came up with a nice high level
API for DBus method calls (sd_bus_call_method). While
systemd doesn't use libdbus.so, their API design can easily
be ported to libdbus.so.
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
docs trying to explain how to use them, as well as test
cases to validate that I didn't screw up the adaptation
from the original systemd code.

Way back when I started making changes for Coverity messages my first set

It was suggested at the time as a further patch an ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK

This patch does that and fixes a few more instances not found by Coverity
