Things are supposed to look like:
<machine canonical='pc-0.12'>pc</machine>
But are currently swapped. This can cause many VMs to revert to having
machine type='pc' which will affect save/restore across qemu upgrades.
The termios struct exported by the termios.h header is used as an
argument for vshMakeStdinRaw(). The header isn't used anywhere in
tools/virsh-domain.c.
This patch adds the header to the header declaring vshMakeStdinRaw() and
removes other places in virsh.
Add VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA flag to virStorageVolCreateXML
and virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom. This flag requests metadata
preallocation when creating/cloning qcow2 images, resulting in creating
a sparse file with qcow2 metadata. It has only slightly larger disk usage
compared to new image with no allocation, but offers higher performance.
QEMU supports setting vendor and product strings for disk since
1.2.0 (only scsi-disk, scsi-hd, scsi-cd support it), this patch
exposes it with new XML elements <vendor> and <product> of disk
device.
Based on a patch originally authored by Daniel De Graaf

This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2.
Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is
designated 'technology preview' only and is incompatible with Xen 4.2
libxl. Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend,
for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver.
As of 1a50ba2cb0 qemu capabilities probing
takes longer since we timeout waiting for the monitor socket. When
probing qemu for different architectures this can add up so the daemon
auto shutdown timeout is reached and the client doesn't have a chance
to connect. To avoid that inhibit daemon shutdown during driver
initialization (which includes capabilities probing).
This fixes

recognize errors. One might argue that according to POSIX errno should be
left unchanged if an entry is not found. Experiments on various UNIX-like

virGetGroupIDByName returns an error when the return value of getgrnam_r

to parsing the passed-in value as an gid).

If debugging is enabled, the debug messages are sent to stderr.
Moreover, if a command has catching of stderr set, the messages
gets mixed with stdout output (assuming both outputs are stored
in the same variable). The resulting string then doesn't
necessarily have to start with desired prefix then. This bug
exposes itself when parsing dnsmasq output:
2012-12-06 11:18:11.445+0000: 18491: error :
dnsmasqCapsSetFromBuffer:664 : internal error cannot parse
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq version number in '2012-12-06
11:11:02.232+0000: 18492: debug : virFileClose:72 : Closed fd 22'
We can clearly see that the output of dnsmasq --version doesn't
start with expected "Dnsmasq version " string but a libvirt debug
output.
If the debugging is enabled, the virCommand subsystem catches debug
messages in the command output as well. In that case, we can't assume
the string corresponding to command's stdout will start with specific
prefix. But the prefix can be moved deeper in the string. This bug
shows itself when parsing dnsmasq output:
2012-12-06 11:18:11.445+0000: 18491: error :
dnsmasqCapsSetFromBuffer:664 : internal error cannot parse
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq version number in '2012-12-06 11:11:02.232+0000:
18492: debug : virFileClose:72 : Closed fd 22'
We can clearly see that the output of dnsmasq --version
doesn't start with expected "Dnsmasq version " string but a libvirt
debug output.

It was possible to define a network with <forward mode='bridge'> that
had both a bridge device and a forward device defined. These two are
mutually exclusive by definition (if you are using a bridge device,
then this is a host bridge, and if you have a forward dev defined,
this is using macvtap). It was also possible to put <ip>, <dns>, and
<domain> elements in this definition, although those aren't supported
by the current driver (although it's conceivable that some other
driver might support that).
The items that are invalid by definition, are now checked in the XML
parser (since they will definitely *always* be wrong), and the others
are checked in networkValidate() in the network driver (since, as
mentioned, it's possible that some other network driver, or even this
one, could some day support setting those).
This patch adds the capability for virtual guests to do IPv6
communication via a virtual network interface with no IPv6 (gateway)
addresses specified. This capability has always been enabled by
default for IPv4, but disabled for IPv6 for security concerns, and
because it requires the ip6tables command to be operational (which
isn't the case on a system with the ipv6 module completely disabled).
This patch adds a new attribute "ipv6" at the toplevel of a <network>
object. If ipv6='yes', the extra ip6tables rules required to permite
inter-guest communications are added when the network is started. If
it is 'no', or not present, those rules will not be added; thus the
default behavior doesn't change, so there should be no compatibility
issues with any existing installations.
Note that virtual guests cannot communication with the virtualization
host via this interface, because the following kernel tunable has
been set:
net.ipv6.conf.<bridge_interface_name>.disable_ipv6 = 1
This assures that the bridge interface will not have an IPv6
link-local (fe80::) address.
To control this behavior so that it is not enabled by default, the parameter
ipv6='yes' on the <network> statement has been added.
Documentation related to this patch has been updated.
The network schema has also been updated.

It's odd to fall through to buildVol, and the existed file is
removed when buildVol fails. This checks if the volume target
path already exists in createVol. The reason for not using
error like "Volume already exists" is that there isn't volume
maintained by libvirt for the path until a operation like
pool-refresh, using error like that will just cause confusion.

The above race is caused by the eventLoop thread tries to handle
the net client event by calling the callback set by:
virNetClientSetCloseCallback(priv->client,
remoteClientCloseFunc,
conn, NULL);
I.E. remoteClientCloseFunc, which lock/unlock the virConnect object.
This patch is to fix the bug by setting the callback to NULL when
doRemoteClose.
The pciWrite32 function assembled the array of data to be written to the
fd with a bad offset on the last byte. This issue was probably caused by
a typo (14, 24).
Unmanaged PCI devices were only leaked if pciDeviceListAdd failed but
managed devices were always leaked. And leaking PCI device is likely to
leave PCI config file descriptor open. This patch fixes
qemuReattachPciDevice to either free the PCI device or add it to the
inactivePciHostdevs list.
An attempt to attach device that is already attached to a domain results
in the following error:
virsh # attach-device rhel6 pci2 --persistent
error: Failed to attach device from pci2
error: invalid argument: device is already in the domain configuration
The "invalid argument" error code looks wrong, we usually use "operation
invalid" when the action cannot be done in current state.

In older Fedora, the spec file for libivrt depended on avahi, which
included avahi-daemon, which in turn depended on dbus. But now that
avahi libs and avahi-daemon are (correctly) in separate pacakges,
and since we REALLY don't want a mandatory dependency on avahi-daemon,
and considering that our init scripts require the messagebus service
from dbus, we need to explicitly require dbus ourselves.
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Add dbus for libvirt-daemon.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830201
The initscript and upstart services depend on dbus starting
before libvirtd. When we first wrote the systemd script, we
tried to do the same, but we depended on dbus.target (which
does not exist) in comparison to network.target (which does
exist), so we removed that in commit 4c7973e. But we still
need dbus up and running first, especially now that we want
to support shutdown inhibition via dbus (whereas we originally
needed dbus only for firewall control).
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.target.html
explains how a target (such as network.target) is just a collection
of common services bundled together, and why we want network.target
but dbus.service.
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in (Unit): Depend on dbus starting
first.

RHEL 6.3 uses dbus-devel-1.2.24, which lacked support for the
DBUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD define (contrast with Fedora 18 using 1.6.8).
But since it is an older dbus, it also lacks support for shutdown
inhibitions as provided by newer systemd.

Implement the domainManagedSave, domainHasManagedSaveImage, and
domainManagedSaveRemove functions in the libvirt legacy xen driver.
domainHasManagedSaveImage check the managedsave image from filesystem
everytime. This is different from qemu and libxl driver. In qemu or
libxl driver, there is a hasManagesSave flag in virDomainObjPtr which
is not used in xen legacy driver. This flag could not add into xen
driver ptr either, because the driver ptr will be released at the end of
every libvirt api call. Meanwhile, AFAIK, xen store all the flags in
xen not in libvirt xen driver. There is no need to add this flag in xen.

Currently to deal with auto-shutdown libvirtd must periodically
poll all stateful drivers. Thus sucks because it requires
acquiring both the driver lock and locks on every single virtual
machine. Instead pass in a "inhibit" callback to virStateInitialize
which drivers can invoke whenever they want to inhibit shutdown
due to existance of active VMs.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
The only important state that should prevent libvirtd shutdown
is from running VMs. Networks, host devices, network filters
and storage pools are all long lived resources that have no
significant in-memory state. They should not block shutdown.

The patch adds the backend driver to support iSCSI format storage pools
and volumes for ESX host. The mapping of ESX iSCSI specifics to Libvirt
is as follows:
1. ESX static iSCSI target <------> Libvirt Storage Pools
2. ESX iSCSI LUNs <------> Libvirt Storage Volumes.
The above understanding is based on http://libvirt.org/storage.html.
The operation supported on iSCSI pools includes:
1. List storage pools & volumes.
2. Get XML descriptor operaion on pools & volumes.
3. Lookup operation on pools & volumes by name, UUID and path (if applicable).
iSCSI pools does not support operations such as: Create / remove pools
and volumes.
Since we can't (currently) rely on the ability to provide blanket
support for all possible network changes by calling the toplevel
netdev hostside disconnect/connect functions (due to qemu only
supporting a lockstep between initialization of host side and guest
side of devices), in order to support live change of an interface's
nwfilter we need to make a special purpose function to only call the
nwfilter teardown and setup functions if the filter for an interface
(or its parameters) changes. The pattern is nearly identical to that
used to change the bridge that an interface is connected to.
This patch was inspired by a request from Guido Winkelmann
<guido@sagersystems.de>, who tested an earlier version.
To detect if an interface's nwfilter has changed, we need to also
compare the filterparams, which is a hashtable of virNWFilterVarValue.
virHashEqual can do this nicely, but requires a pointer to a function
that will compare two of the items being stored in the hashes.

These three functions:
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName
virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev
virDomainNetGetActualDirectMode
return attributes that are in a union whose contents are interpreted
differently depending on the actual->type and so they should only
return non-0 when actual->type is 'bridge' (in the first case) or
'direct' (in the other two cases, but I had neglected to do that, so
...DirectDev() was returning bridge.brname (which happens to share the
same spot in the union with direct.linkdev) if actual->type was
'bridge', and ...BridgeName was returning direct.linkdev when
actual->type was 'direct'.
How does this involve Bug 881480 (which was about the inability to
switch between two networks that both have "<forward mode='bridge'/>
<bridge name='xxx'/>"? Whenever the return value of
virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev() for the new and old network
definitions doesn't match, qemuDomainChangeNet() requires a "complete
reconnect" of the device, which qemu currently doesn't
support. ...DirectDev() *should* have been returning NULL for old and
new, but was instead returning the old and new bridge names, which
differ.
(The other two functions weren't causing any behavioral problems in
virDomainChangeNet(), but their problem and fix was identical, so I
included them in this same patch).
Libvirt's helper API's when called directly don't raise the error so
that virsh remembers it. Subsequent calls to libvirt API's might reset
the error.
In case of schedinfo virDomainFree() in the cleanup section resets the
error when virTypedParameterAssignFromStr() fails.
This patch adds function vshSaveLibvirtError() that can be called after
calling libvirt helper APIs to ensure the error is remembered.
Fix the null pointer access when UUID is not specified.
