Currently, if there's no hard memory limit defined for a domain,
libvirt tries to calculate one, based on domain definition and magic
equation and set it upon the domain startup. The rationale behind was,
if there's a memory leak or exploit in qemu, we should prevent the
host system trashing. However, the equation was too tightening, as it
didn't reflect what the kernel counts into the memory used by a
process. Since many hosts do have a swap, nobody hasn't noticed
anything, because if hard memory limit is reached, process can
continue allocating memory on a swap. However, if there is no swap on
the host, the process gets killed by OOM killer. In our case, the qemu
process it is.
To prevent this, we need to relax the hard RSS limit. Moreover, we
should reflect more precisely the kernel way of accounting the memory
for process. That is, even the kernel caches are counted within the
memory used by a process (within cgroups at least). Hence the magic
equation has to be changed:
limit = 1.5 * (domain memory + total video memory) + (32MB for cache
per each disk) + 200MB
This is the QEMU backend code for the SCLP console support.
It includes SCLP capability detection, QEMU command line generation
and a test case.

The SCLP console is the native console type for s390 and is preferred
over the virtio console as it doesn't require special drivers and
is more efficient. Recent versions of QEMU come with SCLP support
which is hereby enabled.
The new target types 'sclp' and 'sclplm' can be used to specify a
SCLP console. Adding documentation, domain schema and XML processing
support.

Currently the libvirt client can pass FDs to the server, but the
dispatch mechanism provides no way to return FDs back from the
server to the client. Tweak the dispatch code, such that if a
dispatcher returns '1', this indicates that it populated the
virNetMessagePtr with FDs to return

A number of bugs handling file descriptors received from the
server caused the FDs to be lost and leaked.

The QEMU specific APIs all operate on domains, not the host,
so should be in the virsh-domain.c file / group

Change calling sequence to only call xenUnifiedDomainSetVcpusFlags() when
'dom' is not NULL. Use the GET_PRIVATE() macro to reference privateData.
Just return -1 if dom is NULL.
The code for setting up a private /dev/pts for the containers
is also responsible for making the LXC controller have a
private mount namespace. Unfortunately the /dev/pts code is
not run if launching a container without a custom root. This
causes the LXC FUSE mount to leak into the host FS.
Since we daemonized QEMU for capabilities probing there is a long
time if QEMU fails to launch. This is because we're not passing in
any virDomainObjPtr instance and thus the monitor code can not
check to see if the PID is still alive.

The current code is initializing capabilities before setting
directory permissions. Thus the QEMU binaries being run may
not have the ability to create the UNIX monitor socket on
the first run of libvirtd.
Commit dfa1e1dd removed libxenctrl from LIBXL_LIBS, but the libxl
driver uses a symbol from this library. Explicitly link with
libxenctrl instead of relying on the build system to support
implicit DSO linking.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887017 reports that
even though libvirt attempts to set fs.aio-max-nr via sysctl,
the file was installed with the wrong name and gets ignored by
sysctl. Furthermore, 'man systcl.d' recommends that packages
install into hard-coded /usr/lib/sysctl.d (even when libdir is
/usr/lib64), so that sysadmins can use /etc/sysctl.d for overrides.
* daemon/Makefile.am (install-sysctl, uninstall-sysctl): Use
correct location.
* libvirt.spec.in (network_files): Reflect this.
See also commit 66ff2dd, where we avoided installing these files
as executables.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd.service): Drop chmod.
* tools/Makefile.am (libvirt-guests.service): Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am (virtlockd.service, virtlockd.socket):
Likewise.
virtlockd.service could be installed to a configurable root,
but virtlockd.socket was hardcoded to installation into a
distro.
* src/Makefile.am (virtlockd.service, virtlockd.socket): Drop
unused substitutions.
* src/locking/virtlockd.socket.in (ListenStream): Don't hard-code
/var.
We had several different styles of .in conversion in our Makefiles:
ALLCAPS, @ALLCAPS@, @lower@, ::lower::
Canonicalize on one form, to make it easier to copy and paste
between .in files.
Also, we were using some non-portable sed constructs: \@ is an
undefined escape sequence (it happens to be @ itself in GNU sed,
but POSIX allows it to mean something else), as well as risky
behavior (failure to consistently quote things means a space
in $(sysconfdir) could throw things off; also, Autoconf recommends
using | rather than , or ! in the s||| operator, because | has to
be quoted in shell and is therefore less likely to appear in file
names than , or !).
Fix all of these uses to follow the same syntax.

This prevents domain starting and disk attaching if the shared disk's
setting conflicts with other active domain(s), E.g. A domain with
"sgio" set as "filtered", however, another active domain is using
it set as "unfiltered".
Like "rawio", "sgio" is only allowed for block disk of device
type "lun".
It doesn't default disk->sgio to "filtered" when parsing, as
it won't be able to distinguish explicitly requested "filtered"
and a default "filtered" in driver then. We have to error out for
explicit request when the kernel doesn't support the new sysfs
knob "unpriv_sgio", however, for defaulted "filtered", we can
just ignore it if the kernel doesn't support "unpriv_sgio".
This introduces new XML tag "sgio" for disk, its valid values
are "filtered" and "unfiltered", setting it as "filtered" will
set the disk's unpriv_sgio to 0, and "unfiltered" to set it
as 1, which allows the unprivileged SG_IO commands.
This introduces a hash table for qemu driver, to store the shared
disk's info as (@major:minor, @ref_count). @ref_count is the number
of domains which shares the disk.
Since we only care about if the disk support unprivileged SG_IO
commands, and the SG_IO commands only make sense for block disk,
this patch only manages (add/remove hash entry) the shared disk for
block disk.

When the disk alignment check done while redefining an existing snapshot
failed, the qemu driver attempted to free the existing snapshot. As in
the cleanup path the definition of the snapshot wasn't assigned, the
cleanup code dereferenced a NULL pointer.
This patch changes the behavior on error paths while redefining snapshot
in two ways:
1) On failure, modifications done on the snapshot definition object are
rolled back.
2) The previous definition of the data isn't freed until it's certain it
won't be needed any more.
This change avoids the segfault and additionally the snapshot doesn't
vanish if redefinition fails for some reason.
This also changes the function signature to take a
virDomainChrSourceDefPtr instead of just a path, since it needs to
differentiate behavior based on source->type.
The functionality provided in virchrdev.c (previously virconsole.c) is
applicable to other types of character devices besides consoles, such
as channels. This patch is just code motion, renaming things such as
"console" or "pty", instead using more general terms such as
"character device" or "device path".
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.
Commit d13155c changed which files get installed for the

It turned out to be a spurious warning (we didn't use foundIdx
unless foundCt was non-zero). But in investigating that, I noticed
a worse problem: we were using 'if (foundCt > 1)', but since foundCt
was bool, it could never be > 1.

Since 4c993d8a we failed to set this important capability, which
allows starting a domain with QXL video card. We set DEVICE_QXL
capability bit instead, which is not necessary wrong. Anyway, if
qemu supports the new '-device qxl' it supports older '-vga qxl'
as well. The latter is used for the primary (the first) qxl video
card, the former for other video cards.
Commit b3f2b4ca5c left buf unallocated in
the case of QMP capability probing being used, leading to a segfault in
strlen in the cleanup path.
This patch opens the log and allocates the buffer if QMP probing was
used, so we can display the helpful error message.
