For disk snapshots, the user could request an external snapshot
but not supply a filename; later on, we would check this condition
and generate a suitable name if possible, or gracefully error out
when not possible (such as when the original file was a block
device). But unless we come up with a suitable way to generate
external memory file names, we have no later code point that was
checking for NULL, so we should forbid this up front.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDefParseString):
Avoid NULL deref, since we don't generate names yet.
It may take some time for sanlock to add a lockspace. And if user
restart libvirtd service meanwhile, the fresh daemon can fail adding
the same lockspace with EINPROGRESS. Recent sanlock has
sanlock_inq_lockspace() function which should block until lockspace
changes state. If we are building against older sanlock we should
retry a few times before claiming an error. This issue can be easily
reproduced:
for i in {1..1000} ; do echo $i; service libvirtd restart; sleep 2; done

This simplifies the top-level code, at the cost of using a little more
stack space. The primary benefit is being able to send more fields
without knowing in advance how many of them, and of which types, these
fields will be, and without having to individually add buffer variables.
The code imposes an upper limit on the total number of iovs/buffers
used, and fields that wouldn't fit are silently dropped. This is not
significant in this patch, but will affect the following one.

... and update all users. No change in functionality, the parameter
will be used later.
The metadata representation is as minimal as possible, but requires
the caller to allocate an array on stack explicitly.
The alternative of using varargs in the virLogMessage() callers:
* Would not allow the caller to optionally omit some metadata elements,
except by having two calls to virLogMessage.
* Would not be as type-safe (e.g. using int vs. size_t), and the compiler
wouldn't be able to do type checking
* Depending on parameter order:
a) virLogMessage(..., message format, message params...,
metadata..., NULL)
can not be portably implemented (parse_printf_format() is a glibc
function)
b) virLogMessage(..., metadata..., NULL,
message format, message params...)
would prevent usage of ATTRIBUTE_FMT_PRINTF and the associated
compiler checking.

Ever since commit 7b21981c started generating AUTHORS, we now have
the situation that if you flip between two branches in the same
git repository that cross that commit boundary, then 'make' will
fail due to automake complaining about AUTHORS not existing. The
simplest solution is to realize that if AUTHORS does not exist,
then we flipped branches so we will need to rerun bootstrap
anyways; and rerunning bootstrap ensures AUTHORS will exist in time.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Also depend on AUTHORS.
The "restart" function for locks allocates a new array according to
and pre-sets its length, then reads the owner pids from a JSON
document in a loop. Rather than adding each owner at a different
index, though, it repeatedly overwrites the last element of the array
with all the owners.
This patch adds a helper to determine if snapshots are external and uses
the helper to fix detection of those in snapshot deletion code.
Snapshots are external if they have an external memory image or if the
disk locations are external. As mixed snapshots are forbidden for now
we need to check just one disk to know.
qemumonitorjsontest creates a temporary directory to hold the socket
that is simulating the monitor socket. The directory containing the
socket wasn't disposed properly at the end of the test leaving garbage
in the temporary folder.
When doing the qemumonitorjsontest on a machine under heavy load the
test tends to deadlock from time to time. This patch adds the hack to
break the event loop that is used in virsh.
The AMD Bulldozer architecture uses so called "Clustered integer core
modules" that count both as threads and cores. This patch expects the
cpu to be detected using the new fallback condition otherwise twice the
number of processors would be detected.
This test data was gathered on an AMD MagnyCours machine that reports it
has only one NUMA node although the hardware is consisting of 4. As
duplicate core id's are ignored the reported topology was bogous. This
should be fixed by the previous patch.
Reported and data provided by George-Cristian Bîrzan.
Lately there were a few reports of the output of the virsh nodeinfo
command being inaccurate. This patch tries to avoid that by checking if
the topology actually makes sense. If it doesn't we then report a
synthetic topology that indicates to the user that the host capabilities
should be checked for the actual topology.
Currently, if user calls virDomainAbortJob we just issue
'migrate_cancel' and hope for the best. However, if user calls
the API in wrong phase when migration hasn't been started yet
(perform phase) the cancel request is just ignored. With this
patch, the request is remembered and as soon as perform phase
starts, migration is cancelled.
For S390, the default console target type cannot be of type 'serial'.
It is necessary to at least interpret the 'arch' attribute
value of the os/type element to produce the correct default type.
Therefore we need to extend the signature of defaultConsoleTargetType
to account for architecture. As a consequence all the drivers
supporting this capability function must be updated.
Despite the amount of changed files, the only change in behavior is
that for S390 the default console target type will be 'virtio'.
N.B.: A more future-proof approach could be to to use hypervisor
specific capabilities to determine the best possible console type.
For instance one could add an opaque private data pointer to the
virCaps structure (in case of QEMU to hold capsCache) which could
then be passed to the defaultConsoleTargetType callback to determine
the console target type.
Seems to be however a bit overengineered for the use case...

When the libvirt daemon is restarted it tries to reconnect to running
qemu domains. Since commit d38897a5d4 the
re-connection code runs in separate threads. In the original
implementation the maximum of domain ID's (that is used as an
initializer for numbering guests created next) while libvirt was
reconnecting to the guest.
With the threaded implementation this opens a possibility for race
conditions with the thread that is autostarting guests. When there's a
guest running with id 1 and the daemon is restarted. The autostart code
is reached first and spawns the first guest that should be autostarted
as id 1. This results into the following unwanted situation:
# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
1 guest1 running
1 guest2 running
This patch extracts the detection code before the re-connection threads
are started so that the maximum id of the guests being reconnected to is
known.
The only semantic change created by this is if the guest with greatest ID
quits before we are able to reconnect it's ID is used anyway as the
greatest one as without this patch the greatest ID of a process we could
successfuly reconnect to would be used.
82507838 refactored the code to keep both the raw and canonicalized form

This patch adds support for external disk snapshots of inactive domains.
The snapshot is created by calling using qemu-img by calling:
qemu-img create -f format_of_snapshot -o
backing_file=/path/to/src,backing_fmt=format_of_backing_image
/path/to/snapshot
in case the backing image format is known or probing is allowed and
otherwise:
qemu-img create -f format_of_snapshot -o backing_file=/path/to/src
/path/to/snapshot
on each of the disks selected for snapshotting. This patch also modifies
the snapshot preparing function to support creating external snapshots
and to sanitize arguments. For now the user isn't able to mix external
and internal snapshots but this restriction might be lifted in the
future.
External checkpoints could be created with snapshot-create, but
without libvirt supplying a default name for the memory file,
it is essential to add a new argument to snapshot-create-as to
allow the user to choose the memory file name. This adds the
option --memspec [file=]name[,snapshot=type], where type can
be none, internal, or external. For an example,
virsh snapshot-create-as $dom --memspec /path/to/file
is the shortest possible command line for creating an external
checkpoint, named after the current timestamp.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (vshParseSnapshotMemspec): New function.
(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Use it.
* tests/virsh-optparse (test_url): Test it.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document it.
So far, none of the existing callers of vshStringToArray expected
the user to ever pass a literal comma; meanwhile, snapshot parsing
had rolled its own array parser. Moving the comma escaping into
the common function won't affect any existing callers, and will make
this function reusable for adding memory handling to snapshot parsing.
As a bonus, the testsuite was already testing snapshot parsing, so
the fact that the test still passes means that we are now giving
testsuite exposure to vshStringToArray.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (vshParseSnapshotDiskspec): Move ,,
parsing...
* tools/virsh.c (vshStringToArray): ...into common function.
Also, vshStrdup can't fail.
Some operations, APIs needs domain to be paused prior operation can be
performed, e.g. (managed-) save of a domain. The processors should be
restored in the end. However, if 'cont' fails for some reason, we log a
message but this is not sufficient as an event should be emitted as
well. Mgmt application can then decide what to do.
This is supposed to be thrown every time we need to pause domain
because of API execution (e.g. qemuDomainSaveInternal) but fails
to restore it back after. In this case, domain remains paused,
however, none of existing reasons can fit this scenario.
Make it clear that the alternate terms have no difference except
for length of time they were supported.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): More documentation.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873344 suggested that
the grouping 'boot', 'shutdown', 'reboot'; as well as the grouping
'start', 'stop', 'restart'; might be easier to remember than the
current mix of 'start', 'shutdown', 'reboot'.
Also, touch up the wording of 'reboot' to be more accurate.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (domManagementCmds): Add other command names.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): Document the aliases.
The code that was split out into the qemuDomainSaveMemory expands the
pointer containing the XML description of the domain that it gets from
higher layers. If the pointer changes the old one is invalid and the
upper layer function tries to free it causing an abort.
This patch changes the expansion of the original string to a new
allocation and copy of the contents.
After the connection to ESX 5.1 being broken since g1e7cd39, the fix
in bab7752c helped a bit, but still missed a spot, so the connection
is now successful, but some APIs (for example defineXML) don't work.
Two cases missing are added in this patch to avoid that.
qemu is sensitive to the order of arguments passed. Hence, if a
device requires a controller, the controller cmd string must
precede device cmd string. The same apply for controllers, when
for instance ccid controller requires usb controller. So
controllers create partial ordering in which they should be added
to qemu cmd line.
In Fedora 16, we quit enabling cgconfig because systemd set up
default cgroups that were good enough for our use. But in F17,
when we switched to systemd, we reverted and started up cgconfig
again. See also the tail of this thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg01657.html
* libvirt.spec.in (with_systemd): Rely on systemd for cgroups.
Some FDs may not implement fdatasync() functionality,
e.g. pipes. In that case EINVAL or EROFS is returned.
We don't want to fail then nor report any error.

Some of the pre-snapshot check have restrictions wired in regarding
configuration options that influence taking of external checkpoints.
This patch removes restrictions that would inhibit taking of such a
snapshot.
This patch adds support to take external system checkpoints.
The functionality is layered on top of the previous disk-only snapshot
code. When the checkpoint is requested the domain memory is saved to the
memory image file using migration to file. (The user may specify to
take the memory image while the guest is live with the
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE flag.)
The memory save image shares format with the image created by
virDomainSave() API.
Before now, libvirt supported only internal snapshots for active guests.
This patch renames this function to qemuDomainSnapshotCreateActiveInternal
to prepare the grounds for external active snapshots.
