This assumes ide-drive.wwn, ide-hd.wwn, ide-cd.wwn were supported
at the same time, similar for scsi-disk.wwn, scsi-hd.wwn, and
scsi-cd.wwn. So only two new caps (QEMU_CAPS_IDE_DRIVE_WWN,
and QEMU_CAPS_SCSI_DISK_WWN) are introduced.
Validates the wwn while parsing, error out if it's malformed.
* src/util/util.h: Declare virValidateWWN
* src/util/util.c: Implement virValidateWWN
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virValidateWWN.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: New member 'wwn' for disk def.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parse and format disk <wwn>
Relatively straightforward. Our decision to make block job
speed a long keeps haunting us on new API.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x (remote_domain_block_commit_args):
New struct.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remote_driver): Enable it.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: Regenerate.
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl (long_legacy): Exempt another bandwidth.
The new command 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk' requests the start
of an asynchronous commit operation across the entire chain of
$disk. Further arguments can fine-tune which portion of the
chain is committed. Existing 'virsh blockjob' commands can then
track the status, change the bandwidth, or abort the commit job.
With a bit more on the command line, 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk
--wait --verbose' can be used for blocking behavior, with visual
feedback on the overall status, and can be canceled with Ctrl-C.
The overall design, including the wait loop logic, borrows heavily
from the existing blockpull command.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCommit): New function.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcommit): Document it.
A block commit moves data in the opposite direction of block pull.
Block pull reduces the chain length by dropping backing files after
data has been pulled into the top overlay, and is always safe; block
commit reduces the chain length by dropping overlays after data has
been committed into the backing file, and any files that depended
on base but not on top are invalidated at any point where they have
unallocated data that is now pointing to changed contents in base.
Both directions are useful, however: a qcow2 layer that is more than
50% allocated will typically be faster with a pull operation, while
a qcow2 layer with less than 50% allocation will be faster as a
commit operation. Committing across multiple layers can be more
efficient than repeatedly committing one layer at a time, but
requires extra support from the hypervisor.
This API matches Jeff Cody's proposed qemu command 'block-commit':
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02226.html
Jeff's command is still in the works for qemu 1.3, and may gain
further enhancements, such as the ability to control on-error
handling (it will be comparable to the error handling Paolo is
adding to 'drive-mirror', so a similar solution will be needed
when I finally propose virDomainBlockCopy with more functionality
than the basics supported by virDomainBlockRebase). However, even
without qemu support, this API will be useful for _offline_ block
commits, by wrapping qemu-img calls and turning them into a block
job, so this API is worth committing now.
For some examples of how this will be implemented, all starting
with the chain: base <- snap1 <- snap2 <- active
+ These are equivalent:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "active", 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", "active", 0, 0)
but cannot be implemented for online qemu with round 1 of
Jeff's patches; and for offline images, it would require
three back-to-back qemu-img invocations unless qemu-img
is patched to allow more efficient multi-layer commits;
the end result would be 'base' as the active disk with
contents from all three other files, where 'snap1' and
'snap2' are invalid right away, and 'active' is invalid
once any further changes to 'base' are made.
+ These are equivalent:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, _SHALLOW)
they cannot be implemented for online qemu, but for offline,
it is a matter of 'qemu-img commit active', so that 'snap2'
is now the active disk with contents formerly in 'active'.
+ Similarly:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, _DELETE)
for an offline domain will merge 'active' into 'snap2', then
delete 'active' to avoid leaving a potentially invalid file
around.
+ This version:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "snap2", 0, _SHALLOW)
can be implemented online with 'block-commit' passing a base of
snap1 and a top of snap2; and can be implemented offline by
'qemu-img commit snap2' followed by 'qemu-img rebase -u
-b snap1 active'

Upstream qemu has raised a concern about whether dumping guest
memory by reading guest paging tables is a security hole:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02607.html
While auditing libvirt to see if we would be impacted, I noticed
that we had some dead code. It is simpler to nuke the dead code
and limit our monitor code to just the subset we make use of.

virNetworkAssignDef was allocating a new network object, initing and
grabbing its lock, then potentially freeing it without unlocking or
destroying the lock. In practice 1) this will probably never happen,
and 2) even if it did, the lock implementation used on most (all?)
platforms doesn't actually hold any resources for an initialized or
held lock, but it still bothered me, so I moved the realloc that could
lead to this bad situation earlier in the function, and now the mutex
isn't inited or locked until we are assured of complete success.
These two objects were previously always parsed as a part of an IpDef,
but we will now need to be able to parse them on their own for
virNetworkUpdate(). Split the parsing functions out, with no
functional changes.
The final patch in Hu Tao's series to enhance virBitmap actually
removes virDomainCpuSetParse and virDomainCpuSetFormat as "no longer
used", and the rest of the series hadn't taken care of two uses of
virDomainCpuSetParse in the xen code.
This patch replaces those with appropriate virBitmap functions. It
should be pushed prior to the patch removing virDomainCpuSetParse.
In many places we store bitmap info in a chunk of data
(pointed to by a char *), and have redundant codes to
set/unset bits. This patch extends virBitmap, and convert
those codes to use virBitmap in subsequent patches.
New command node-memory-tune to get/set the node memory parameters,
only two parameters are allowed to set (pages_to_scan, and sleep_millisecs,
see documents in this patch for more details).
Example of node-memory-tune's output:
Shared memory:
pages_to_scan 100
sleep_millisecs 20
pages_shared 0
pages_sharing 0
pages_unshared 0
pages_volatile 0
full_scans 0
