There are 3 ways to lookup a volume, only virStorageVolLookupByName
needs pool object. So if no --pool is specified, it will tries to
get the volume via virStorageVolLookupByPath/virStorageVolLookupByKey.
But if all 3 ways fails, and no --pool is specified, a friendly
error might help the user get right way quickly.
Related #BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702260.
There are two problems described in the BZ:
1) "Can't remove open logical volume".
2) "Unable to deactivate logical volume "foo""
This patch just intends to fix 2), as 1) is expected if the vol
is still used by something, and you never known if "lvchange -an"
will fail or not either (sometime, it will succeed, sometimes not).
We'd better not look for trouble, :-)
For 2), that's caused by race between lvremove and udev event handling,
the only workable way now is to wait the events handling are finished,
though it might introduce latencies, as "udevadmin settle" exits
after *all* events are handled, it's the only way we can fix
the racing in libvirt layer.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570359 for more
details.

Once virDomainReboot is called for a domain, guest OS initiated shutdown
would always result in reboot instead of shutdown. Only
virDomainShutdown would actually shutd such domain down. That's because
we forgot to reset fakeReboot flag once we asked the domain to reboot.
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.
This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".
Bug introduced in commit 675464b. On an OOM, this would try to
dereference a char* and free the contents as a pointer, which is
doomed to failure.
Adding a syntax check will prevent mistakes like this in the future.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_internal_functions): New syntax check.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_internal_functions): Add
exemptions.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteRelayDomainEventIOError)
(remoteRelayDomainEventIOErrorReason)
(remoteRelayDomainEventGraphics, remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob):
Use correct free function.
The next patch will add a syntax check that flags this usage in xen
as awkward - while it was valid memory management, it was very hard
to maintain. Swapping to a more traditional allocation may be a bit
slower, but easier to understand.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonListDomainsOld): Use two-level
allocation, rather than abusing allocation function.
(xenDaemonLookupByUUID): Update caller.
gcc warns when building libvirt 0.9.5 on a 32-bit machine:

remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob, remoteRelayDomainEventIOError,
remoteRelayDomainEventIOErrorReason and remoteRelayDomainEventGraphics
were using const string directly in rpc structure, before calling
remoteDispatchDomainEventSend(). But that routine now frees up all
the pointed allocated memory from the rpc structure and we end up
with a double free.
This now strdup() all the strings passed and provide mem_error goto
labels to be used when an allocation error occurs.
Note that the cleanup isn't completely finished because all relaying
function also call make_nonnull_domain() which also allocate a string
and never handle the error case. This patches doesn't try to address
this as this is only error correctness a priori and touches far more
functions in this module:
* daemon/remote.c: fix string allocations and memory error handling
for remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob, remoteRelayDomainEventIOError,
remoteRelayDomainEventIOErrorReason and remoteRelayDomainEventGraphics
Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.
For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and
sanlock_align
Libvirt loads the domain conf from status XML if it's running when
starting up. The problem is there is no record of the original conf.
(dom->newDef is NULL here).
So libvirt won't be able to restore the domain conf to original one
when destroying/shutdown. E.g.
1) attach a device without "--persistent"
2) restart libvirtd
3) destroy domain
4) start domain
One will see the the disk still exists.
This patch is to fix the peoblem by assigning persistent domain conf
to dom->newDef if it's NULL and the domain is running.
Translators are likely to botch trailing spacing; by doing the
formatting outside of the translation, we can generally get
better alignment. Also, for consistency, use 'bytes read' to
match 'bytes written'.
* tools/virsh.c (domblkstat_output): Drop trailing space. Tweak
rd_bytes output.
(cmdDomblkstat, DOMBLKSTAT_LEGACY_PRINT): Update formatting.
Virsh man page lists driver types to be used with attach-device
command, but does not specify that those are usable only with the XEN
Hypervisor.
This patch adds statement, that those options specified are applicable
only on the Xen hypervisor and adds option usable with qemu emulator.
This patch also changes type of error returned by QEMU driver if the
user specifies incompatible driver type from VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR to
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED.
Alex recently committed some patches with just an email instead
of a preferred name; this fixes things so 'git shortlog' gives
nicer output.
* .mailmap: Update.
Users of virsh complain that output of the domblkstat command
is not intuitive enough. This patch adds explanation of fields
returned by this command to the help section for domblkstat and
the man page of virsh. Also a switch --human is added for
domblkstat that prints the fields with more descriptive
texts.
This patch also changes sequence of the output fields and their
names back to the order and spelling established by previous
versions of virsh to maintain compatibility with scripts.
Example of ordered and "translated" output:
PRE-patch:
virsh # domblkstat 1 vda

vda wr_operations 511
vda rd_bytes 82815488

For all types of disks other than qcow2, we were requesting that
SELinux labeling visit the new file as if it were qcow2, which
means labeling would try to find the backing files of an empty file.
And for a pre-existing qcow2 disk, we were passing NULL, which meant
that labelling tried to probe the file type (and if probing is
disabled, per the default qemu.conf, this made snapshots fail).
What we really want is to make SELinux labeling visit the new
file as raw; it will later be converted to qcow2 if qemu successfully
made the snapshot.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Force SELinux labeling
to avoid probe of new file.
For external snapshots to be useful on persistent domains, we must
alter the persistent definition alongside the running definition.
Thanks to the possibility of disk hotplug as well as of edits that
only affect the persistent xml, we can't assume that vm->def and
vm->newDef have the same disk at the same index, so we can only
update the persistent copy if the device destination matches up.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive)
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Also affect newDef, if
present.
Mingw lacks fsync, but gnulib provides that. Meanwhile, gnulib does
not (yet) provide fdatasync, so this is a quick hack to fake that
function on MacOS X; we can revert this configure change once gnulib
gives us a real module.
We have been implicitly relying on gnulib's largefile module being
pulled in by other modules, but it's better to make that explicit.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fsync. Make largefile use
explicit.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for fdatasync, and
fake it with fsync when not present.
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt
* configure.ac, src/Makefile.am: Ensure libvirt.so is linked
with -z nodelete
* cfg.mk, .gitignore, tests/Makefile.am, tests/shunloadhelper.c,
tests/shunloadtest.c: A test case to unload libvirt while
a thread is still running.
Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.
By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.
Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
When a domain is rebooted using libvirt API, we use fake reboot
consisting of shutting down and resetting the domain. Thus we see a
SHUTDOWN event and set gotShutdown flag. But we never reset it back and
if the domain crashes after it was rebooted this way, we consider it was
a normal shutdown and not a crash.
Commit 4454a9efc7 changed shutoff reason
from VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_CRASHED to VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_FAILED in case we
see an unexpected EOF on monitor connection. But FAILED reason is
dedicated for domains that fail to start. CRASHED reason is the right
one to use in this situation.
Libvirt special-cases a specific VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote driver
back into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT on the client, so that clients can
handle missing rpc functions the same whether the hypervisor driver
is local or remote. However, commit c1b22644 introduced a regression:
VIR_FROM_THIS changed from VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC, so the
special casing no longer works if the server uses the newer error
domain.

Mac OS X 10.6. Snow Leopard and probably other do not provide a mkfs
command to create filesystems. Macro MKFS then remained undefined and
did not provide any substitute, so that build failed on a missing
argument.
Struct virStoragePoolProbeResult was compiled in conditionaly, but
virStorageBackendFileSystemProbe used it unconditionaly. This patch

With this patch, it is hopefully a bit more obvious that for
snapshot-create-as, a literal '--diskspec' is mandatory if name
or description was omitted, but optional if all earlier options
were provided.
These all denote two diskspecs and a description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb name desc
This gives two diskspecs but no description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
And this treats 'vda' as the description, with only one diskspec:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name vda vdb
The help output now shows:
snapshot-create-as <domain> [<name>] [<description>] [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [[--diskspec] <string>]...
I also checked the help output for echo and send-key, which are two
other variants of argv commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document when a literal
--diskspec must preceed a diskspec argument.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Update help output for argv when
naming the option is useful.

* tests/virsh-optparse: Add tests to avoid regressions.
The new doc text had a few readability issues. Also, the
monitor command text copied a bit too much from the attach case.
