Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:
virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'
which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.
This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just
virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"
Also the result is converted from
{"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}
to just plain HMP:
kvm support: enabled
If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
Per the gettext developer:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-10/msg00019.htmlhttp://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-10/msg00021.html
gettext() doesn't work correctly on all platforms unless you have
called setlocale(). Furthermore, gnulib's gettext.h has provisions
for setting up a default locale, which is the preferred method for
libraries to use gettext without having to call textdomain() and
override the main program's default domain (virInitialize already
calls bindtextdomain(), but this is insufficient without the
setlocale() added in this patch; and a redundant bindtextdomain()
in this patch doesn't hurt, but serves as a good example for other
packages that need to bind a second translation domain).
This patch is needed to silence a new gnulib 'make syntax-check'
rule in the next patch.
* daemon/libvirtd.c (main): Setup locale and gettext.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c (main): Likewise.
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c (main): Likewise.
* src/storage/parthelper.c (main): Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c (main): Fix exit status.
* src/internal.h (DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN): Define, for gettext.h.

* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/storage/parthelper.c.
Basic live migration was broken by the commit that added
non-shared block support in two ways:
1) It added a virCheckFlags() to doNativeMigrate(). Besides
the fact that typical usage of virCheckFlags() is in driver
entry points, and doNativeMigrate() is not an entry point,
it was missing important flags like VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE. Move
the virCheckFlags to the top-level qemuDomainMigratePrepare2
and friends.
2) It also added a memory leak in qemuMonitorTextMigrate()
by not freeing the memory used by virBufferContentAndReset().
This is fixed by storing the pointer in a temporary variable
and freeing it at the end.
With this patch in place, normal live migration works again.
v3: Instead of the churn for virCheckFlagsUI and UL, instead
always promote flags to an unsigned long and always use %lx
for the fprintf.
v2: Add back flags check, which required adding virCheckFlagsUI
and virCheckFlagsUL
Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com>
The idea is that every API implementation in driver which has flags
parameter should first call virCheckFlags() macro to check the function
was called with supported flags:
virCheckFlags(VIR_SUPPORTED_FLAG_1 |
VIR_SUPPORTED_FLAG_2 |
VIR_ANOTHER_SUPPORTED_FLAG, -1);
The error massage which is printed when unsupported flags are passed
looks like:
invalid argument in virFooBar: unsupported flags (0x2)
Where the unsupported flags part only prints those flags which were
passed but are not supported rather than all flags passed.
Among some here, there is a strong aversion to the use of "assert", yet
some others think it is essential (when applied judiciously) even --
perhaps "especially" -- at the heart of libraries and core hypervisor-
related code.
Here is a compromise that lets us make assertions about the code (e.g.,
to tell static analyzers about invariants) without even a hint of risk
of an abort.
* src/internal.h [STATIC_ANALYSIS]: Include <assert.h>.
(sa_assert): Define. A no-op most of the time, but equivalent
to classical assert when STATIC_ANALYSIS is nonzero.
This patch implements support for learning a VM's IP address. It uses
the pcap library to listen on the VM's backend network interface (tap)
or the physical ethernet device (macvtap) and tries to capture packets
with source or destination MAC address of the VM and learn from DHCP
Offers, ARP traffic, or first-sent IPv4 packet what the IP address of
the VM's interface is. This then allows to instantiate the network
traffic filtering rules without the user having to provide the IP
parameter somewhere in the filter description or in the interface
description as a parameter. This only supports to detect the parameter
IP, which is for the assumed single IPv4 address of a VM. There is not
support for interfaces that may have multiple IP addresses (IP
aliasing) or IPv6 that may then require more than one valid IP address
to be detected. A VM can have multiple independent interfaces that each
uses a different IP address and in that case it will be attempted to
detect each one of the address independently.
So, when for example an interface description in the domain XML has
looked like this up to now:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='IP' value='10.2.3.4'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
you may omit the IP parameter:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
Internally I am walking the 'tree' of a VM's referenced network filters
and determine with the given variables which variables are missing. Now,
the above IP parameter may be missing and this causes a libvirt-internal
thread to be started that uses the pcap library's API to listen to the
backend interface (in case of macvtap to the physical interface) in an
attempt to determine the missing IP parameter. If the backend interface
disappears the thread terminates assuming the VM was brought down. In
case of a macvtap device a timeout is being used to wait for packets
from the given VM (filtering by VM's interface MAC address). If the VM's
macvtap device disappeared the thread also terminates. In all other
cases it tries to determine the IP address of the VM and will then apply
the rules late on the given interface, which would have happened
immediately if the IP parameter had been explicitly given. In case an
error happens while the firewall rules are applied, the VM's backend
interface is 'down'ed preventing it to communicate. Reasons for failure
for applying the network firewall rules may that an ebtables/iptables
command failes or OOM errors. Essentially the same failure reasons may
occur as when the firewall rules are applied immediately on VM start,
except that due to the late application of the filtering rules the VM
now is already running and cannot be hindered anymore from starting.
Bringing down the whole VM would probably be considered too drastic.
While a VM's IP address is attempted to be determined only limited
updates to network filters are allowed. In particular it is prevented
that filters are modified in such a way that they would introduce new
variables.
A caveat: The algorithm does not know which one is the appropriate IP
address of a VM. If the VM spoofs an IP address in its first ARP traffic
or IPv4 packets its filtering rules will be instantiated for this IP
address, thus 'locking' it to the found IP address. So, it's still
'safer' to explicitly provide the IP address of a VM's interface in the
filter description if it is known beforehand.

virParseVersionString uses virStrToLong_ui instead of sscanf.

It is a bad idea to call gettext on an already-translated

GCC >= 4.4 assumes the 'printf' attribute refers to the native
runtime libraries format specifiers. Thanks to gnulib, libvirt
has GNU format specifiers everywhere. This means we need to
use 'gnu_printf' with GCC >= 4.4 to get correct compiler
checking of printf format specifiers.
