Ever since commit eefb881, ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL has normally been a
no-op under gcc (since it tends to cause more bugs than it cures
given gcc's current lame implementation of the attribute). However,
the macro is still useful to Coverity and other static-analysis
tools, but only if we use it correctly. Coverity follows gcc's lead
in accepting function declarations with attributes at the end, but
function bodies must attach attributes to the return type. That is,
these are valid:
void foo(void *arg) ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1);
void ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) foo(void *arg);
void ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) foo(void *arg) {}
but this is not:
void foo(void *arg) ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) {}
even though you don't get a compile failure until you do static
analysis. Bug introduced in commit 80533ca, with these symptoms:
nodeinfo.c:206: error: expected ',' or ';' before '{' token
cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-suggest-attribute=const"
cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-suggest-attribute=pure"
make[3]: *** [libvirt_driver_la-nodeinfo.lo] Error 1
* src/nodeinfo.c (virNodeParseNode): Fix syntax error when
non-null attribute is in use.
Commit 34e8f63a3 altered virfile.o to drag in additional symbols,
which in turn led to pulling in other .o files and eventually causing
a link failure when systemtap probes are enabled, such as:
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-event_poll.o): In function `virEventPollRunOnce':
/home/dummy/libvirt/src/util/event_poll.c:614: undefined reference to `libvirt_event_poll_run_semaphore'
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-event_poll.o):(.note.stapsdt+0x24): undefined reference to `libvirt_event_poll_add_handle_semaphore'
Even though libvirt_iohelper and libvirt_parthelper don't directly
use the portion of virfile.o that drags in probing, it was easier
to satisfy the linker and get the build back up, than to figure out
whether it is even possible or worth trying to disentangle the mess.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_iohelper_LDADD)
(libvirt_parthelper_LDADD): Use libvirt_probes.lo when needed.
Currently, we use iohelper when saving/restoring a domain.
However, if there's some kind of error (like I/O) it is not
propagated to libvirt. Since it is not qemu who is doing
the actual write() it will not get error. The iohelper does.
Therefore we should check for iohelper errors as it makes
libvirt more user friendly.
In the XML warning, we print a virsh command line that can be used to
edit that XML. This patch prints UUIDs if the entity name contains
special characters (like shell metacharacters, or "--" that would break
parsing of the XML comment). If the entity doesn't have a UUID, just
print the virsh command that can be used to edit it.
When using block copy to pivot over to a new chain, the backing files
for the new chain might still need labeling (particularly if the user
passes --reuse-ext with a relative backing file name). Relabeling a
file that is already labeled won't hurt, so this just labels the entire
chain at the point of the pivot. Doing the relabel of the chain uses
the fact that we already safely probed the file type of an external
file at the start of the block copy.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockPivot): Relabel chain before
asking qemu to pivot.
Use the recent addition of qemuDomainPrepareDiskChainElement to
obtain locking manager lease, permit a block device through cgroups,
and set the SELinux label; then audit the fact that we hand a new
file over to qemu. Alas, releasing the lease and label at the end
of the mirroring is a trickier prospect (we would have to trace the
backing chain of both source and destination, and be sure not to
revoke rights to any part of the chain that is shared), so for now,
virDomainBlockJobAbort still leaves things with additional access
granted (as block-pull and block-commit have the same problem of
not clamping access after completion, a future cleanup would cover
all three commands).
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCopy): Set up labeling.
Support the REUSE_EXT flag, in part by copying sanity checks from
snapshot code. This code introduces a case of probing an external
file for its type; such an action would be a security risk if the
existing file is supposed to be raw but the contents resemble some
other format; however, since the virDomainBlockRebase API has a
flag to force treating the file as raw rather than probe, we can
assume that probing is safe in all other instances. Besides, if
we don't probe or force raw, then qemu will.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockRebase): Allow REUSE_EXT
flag.
(qemuDomainBlockCopy): Wire up flag, and add some sanity checks.
Minimal patch to wire up all the pieces in the previous patches
to actually enable a block copy job. By minimal, I mean that
qemu creates the file (that is, no REUSE_EXT flag support yet),
SELinux must be disabled, a lock manager is not informed, and the
audit logs aren't updated. But those will be added as
improvements in future patches.
This patch is designed so that if we ever add a future API
virDomainBlockCopy with more bells and whistles (such as letting
the user specify a destination image format different than the
source), where virDomainBlockRebase is a wrapper around the
simpler portions of the new functionality, then the new API can
just reuse the new qemuDomainBlockCopy function and already
support _SHALLOW and _REUSE_EXT flags. Also note that libvirt.c
already filtered the new flags if _COPY is not present, so that
we are not impacting the case of BlockRebase being a wrapper
around BlockPull.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCopy): New function.
(qemuDomainBlockRebase): Call it when appropriate.
Since libvirt drops locks between issuing a monitor command and
getting a response, it is possible for libvirtd to be restarted
before getting a response on a block-job-complete command; worse, it
is also possible for the guest to shut itself down during the window
while libvirtd is down, ending the qemu process. A management app
needs to know if the pivot happened (and the destination file
contains guest contents not in the source) or failed (and the source
file contains guest contents not in the destination), but since
the job is finished, 'query-block-jobs' no longer tracks the
status of the job, and if the qemu process itself has disappeared,
even 'query-block' cannot be checked to ask qemu its current state.
At the time of this patch, the design for persistent bitmap has not
been clarified, so a followup patch will be needed once qemu
actually figures out how to expose it, and we figure out how to use
it. In the meantime, we have a solution that avoids the worst of
the problem. [This problem was first analyzed with the RHEL 6.3
__com.redhat_drive-reopen command; which partly explains why
upstream qemu 1.3 ditched the drive-reopen idea and went with
block-job-complete plus persistent bitmap instead.]
If we surround 'drive-reopen' with a pause/resume pair, then we can
guarantee that the guest cannot modify either source or destination
files in the window of libvirtd uncertainty, and the management app
is guaranteed that either libvirt knows the outcome and reported it
correctly; or that on libvirtd restart, the guest will still be
paused and that the qemu process cannot have disappeared due to
guest shutdown; and use that as a clue that the management app must
implement recovery protocol, with both source and destination files
still being in sync and with 'query-block' still being an option as
part of that recovery. My testing shows that the pause window will
typically be only a fraction of a second.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockPivot): Pause around
drive-reopen.
(qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Update caller.
This is the bare minimum to end a copy job (of course, until a
later patch adds the ability to start a copy job, this patch
doesn't do much in isolation; I've just split the patches to
ease the review).
This patch intentionally avoids SELinux, lock manager, and audit
actions. Also, if libvirtd restarts at the exact moment that a
'block-job-complete' is in flight, the proposed proper way to
detect the outcome of that would be with a persistent bitmap and
some additional query commands when libvirtd restarts. This
patch is enough to test the common case of success when used
correctly, while saving the subtleties of proper cleanup for
worst-case errors for later.
When a mirror job is started, cancelling the job safely reverts back
to the source disk, regardless of whether the destination is in
phase 1 (streaming, in which case the destination is worthless) or
phase 2 (mirroring, in which case the destination is synced up to
the source at the time of the cancel). Our existing code does just
fine in either phase, other than some bookkeeping cleanup; this
implements live block copy.
Ideas for future enhancements via new flags:
Depending on when persistent bitmap support is added, it may be
worth adding a VIR_DOMAIN_REBASE_COPY_ATOMIC flag that fails up
front if we detect an older qemu with risky pivot operation.
Interesting side note: while snapshot-create --disk-only creates a
copy of the disk at a point in time by moving the domain on to a
new file (the copy is the file now in the just-extended backing
chain), blockjob --abort of a copy job creates a copy of the disk
while keeping the domain on the original file. There may be
potential improvements to the snapshot code to exploit block copy
over multiple disks all at one point in time. And, if
'block-job-cancel' were made part of 'transaction', you could
copy multiple disks at the same point in time without pausing
the domain. This also implies we may want to add a --quiesce flag
to virDomainBlockJobAbort, so that when breaking a mirror (whether
by cancel or pivot), the side of the mirror that we are abandoning
is at least in a stable state with regards to guest I/O.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobAbort): Accept new flag.
(qemuDomainBlockPivot): New helper function.
(qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Implement it.

For now, disk migration via block copy job is not implemented in
libvirt. But when we do implement it, we have to deal with the
fact that qemu does not yet provide an easy way to re-start a qemu
process with mirroring still intact. Paolo has proposed an idea
for a persistent dirty bitmap that might make this possible, but
until that design is complete, it's hard to say what changes
libvirt would need. Even something like 'virDomainSave' becomes
hairy, if you realize the implications that 'virDomainRestore'
would be stuck with recreating the same mirror layout.
But if we step back and look at the bigger picture, we realize that
the initial client of live storage migration via disk mirroring is
oVirt, which always uses transient domains, and that if a transient
domain is destroyed while a mirror exists, oVirt can easily restart
the storage migration by creating a new domain that visits just the
source storage, with no loss in data.
We can make life a lot easier by being cowards for now, forbidding
certain operations on a domain. This patch guarantees that we
never get in a state where we would have to restart a domain with
a mirroring block copy, by preventing saves, snapshots, migration,
hot unplug of a disk in use, and conversion to a persistent domain
(thankfully, it is still relatively easy to 'virsh undefine' a
running domain to temporarily make it transient, run tests on
'virsh blockcopy', then 'virsh define' to restore the persistence).
Later, if the qemu design is enhanced, we can relax our code.
The change to qemudDomainDefine looks a bit odd for undoing an
assignment, rather than probing up front to avoid the assignment,
but this is because of how virDomainAssignDef combines both a
lookup and assignment into a single function call.

Upstream qemu 1.3 is adding two new monitor commands, 'drive-mirror'
and 'block-job-complete'[1], which can drive live block copy and
storage migration. [Additionally, RHEL 6.3 had backported an earlier
version of most of the same functionality, but under the names
'__com.redhat_drive-mirror' and '__com.redhat_drive-reopen' and with
slightly different JSON arguments, and has been using patches similar
to these upstream patches for several months now.]
The libvirt API virDomainBlockRebase as already committed for 0.9.12
is flexible enough to expose the basics of block copy, but some
additional features in the 'drive-mirror' qemu command, such as
setting error policy, setting granularity, or using a persistent
bitmap, may later require a new libvirt API virDomainBlockCopy. I
will wait to add that API until we know more about what qemu 1.3
will finally provide.
This patch caters only to the upstream qemu 1.3 interface, although
I have proven that the changes for RHEL 6.3 can be isolated to
just qemu_monitor_json.c, and the rest of this series will
gracefully handle either interface once the JSON differences are
papered over in a downstream patch.
For consistency with other block job commands, libvirt must handle
the bandwidth argument as MiB/sec from the user, even though qemu
exposes the speed argument as bytes/sec; then again, qemu rounds
up to cluster size internally, so using MiB hides the worst effects
of that rounding if you pass small numbers.

This resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862515
which describes inconsistencies in dealing with duplicate mac
addresses on network devices in a domain.
(at any rate, it resolves *almost* everything, and prints out an
informative error message for the one problem that isn't solved, but
has a workaround.)
A synopsis of the problems:
1) you can't do a persistent attach-interface of a device with a mac
address that matches an existing device.
2) you *can* do a live attach-interface of such a device.
3) you *can* directly edit a domain and put in two devices with
matching mac addresses.
4) When running virsh detach-device (live or config), only MAC address
is checked when matching the device to remove, so the first device
with the desired mac address will be removed. This isn't always the
one that's wanted.
5) when running virsh detach-interface (live or config), the only two
items that can be specified to match against are mac address and model
type (virtio, etc) - if multiple netdevs match both of those
attributes, it again just finds the first one added and assumes that
is the only match.
Since it is completely valid to have multiple network devices with the
same MAC address (although it can cause problems in many cases, there
*are* valid use cases), what is needed is:
1) remove the restriction that prohibits doing a persistent add of a
netdev with a duplicate mac address.
2) enhance the backend of virDomainDetachDeviceFlags to check for
something that *is* guaranteed unique (but still work with just mac
address, as long as it yields only a single results.
This patch does three things:
1) removes the check for duplicate mac address during a persistent
netdev attach.
2) unifies the searching for both live and config detach of netdevices
in the subordinate functions of qemuDomainModifyDeviceFlags() to use the
new function virDomainNetFindIdx (which matches mac address and PCI
address if available, checking for duplicates if only mac address was
specified). This function returns -2 if multiple matches are found,
allowing the callers to print out an appropriate message.
Steps 1 & 2 are enough to fully fix the problem when using virsh
attach-device and detach-device (which require an XML description of
the device rather than a bunch of commandline args)
3) modifies the virsh detach-interface command to check for multiple
matches of mac address and show an error message suggesting use of the
detach-device command in cases where there are multiple matching mac
addresses.
Later we should decide how we want to input a PCI address on the virsh
commandline, and enhance detach-interface to take a --address option,
eliminating the need to use detach-device

It turns out that the cpuacct results properly account for offline
cpus, and always returns results for every possible cpu, not just
the online ones. So there is no need to check the map of online
cpus in the first place, merely only a need to know the maximum
possible cpu. Meanwhile, virNodeGetCPUBitmap had a subtle change
from returning the maximum id to instead returning the width of
the bitmap (one larger than the maximum id) in commit 2f4c5338,
which made this code encounter some off-by-one logic leading to
bad error messages when a cpu was offline:

We always expose individual bits from flags as separate options rather
than exposing a raw flags options. Since virNodeSuspendForDuration does
not currently support any flags, the only way of using this --flags
options that would not fail is "--flags 0", which is equivalent to
omitting the option. Thus it is highly unlikely anyone would actually be
using it and removing it should be safe.

This commit changes the behavior of LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 libvirtd:

Automatically enable systemd journal logging
Probe to see if the systemd journal is accessible, and if
so enable logging to the journal by default, rather than
stderr (current default under systemd).
Previously 'LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd' would show all debug
output to stderr, now it send debug output to the journal.
Only use the journal by default if running in daemon mode, or
if stdin is _not_ a tty. This should make libvirtd launched from
systemd use the journal, but preserve the old behavior in most
situations.
This was found during testing of the fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868483
networkValidate was supposed to check for the existence of multiple
portgroups and report an error if this was encountered. It did, but
there were two problems:
1) even though it logged an error, it still returned success, allowing
the operation to continue.
2) It could exit the portgroup checking loop early (or possibly not
even do it once) if a vlan tag was supplied in the base network config
or one of the portgroups.
This patch fixes networkValidate to return failure in addition to
logging the error, and also changes it to not exit the portgroup
checking loop early. The logic was a bit off in the checking for vlan
anyway, and it's intertwined with fixing the early loop exit, so I
fixed that as well. Now it correctly checks for combinations where a
<virtualport> is specified in the base network def and <vlan> is given
in a portgroup, as well as the opposite (<vlan> in base network def
and <virtualport> in portgroup), and ignores the case of a disallowed
vlan when using *no* portgroup if there is a default portgroup (since
in that case there is no way to not use any portgroup).

Callers should not need to know what the name of the file to
be read in the Linux-specific version of nodeGetCPUmap;
furthermore, qemu cares about online cpus, not present cpus,
when determining which cpus to skip.

to know is the max available cpu.

Update documentation to mention vSphere 5.x support.
Qemu has added some new feature flags. This patch adds them to libvirt.
The new features are for the cpuid function 0x7 that takes an argument
in the ecx register. Currently only 0x0 is used as the argument so I was
lazy and I just clear the registers to 0 before calling cpuid. In future
when there maybe will be some other possible arguments, we will need to
improve the cpu detection code to take this into account.
On one hand, numad probably will manage the affinity of domain process
dynamically in future. On the other hand, even numad won't manage it,
it still could confusion. Let's make things simpler enough to avoid
the lair for now.
When the cpu placement model is "auto", it sets the affinity for
domain process with the advisory nodeset from numad, however,
creating cgroup for the domain process (called emulator thread
in some contexts) later overrides that with pinning it to all
available pCPUs.
How to reproduce:
* Configure the domain with "auto" placement for <vcpu>, e.g.
<vcpu placement='auto'>4</vcpu>
* % virsh start dom
* % cat /proc/$dompid/status
Though the emulator cgroup cause conflicts, but we can't simply
prohibit creating it, as other tunables are still useful, such
as "emulator_period", which is used by API
virDomainSetSchedulerParameter. So this patch doesn't prohibit
creating the emulator cgroup, but inherit the nodeset from numad,
and reset the affinity for domain process.
