Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment. In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job. Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.
A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion. But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job. Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job. Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.
Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

Disk type 'lun' enables SCSI command passthrough for a disk. We stated
that it works only with "block" disks. Qemu supports it also when using
the iSCSI protocol.
LXC network devices can now be assigned a custom NIC device name on the
container side. For example, this is configured with:
<interface type='network'>
<source network='default'/>
<guest dev="eth1"/>
</interface>
In this example the network card will appear as eth1 in the guest.
In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result. When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements. With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field. This will be useful when we have tuning settings for
particular guest NUMA node.

Commit 7c6fc39 introduced a regression in the XML produced for older

be triggered for a transient guest; but John Ferlan reported that
the automated testsuite was such a client. It's better to be safe

Now that we track a disk mirror as a virStorageSource, we might
as well update the XML to theoretically allow any type of
mirroring destination (not just a local file). A later patch
will also be reusing <mirror> to track the block commit of the
top layer of a chain, which is another case where libvirt needs
to update the backing chain after the job is finally pivoted,
and since backing chains can have network backing files as the
destination to commit into, it makes more sense to display that
in the XML.
This patch changes output-only XML; it was already documented
that <mirror> does not affect a domain definition at this point
(because qemu doesn't provide persistent bitmaps yet). Any
application that was starting a block copy job with older libvirt
and then relying on the domain XML to determine if it was
complete will no longer be able to access the file= and format=
attributes of mirror that were previously used. However, this is
not going to be a problem in practice: the only time a block copy
job works is on a transient domain, and any app that is managing
a transient domain probably already does enough of its own
bookkeeping to know which file it is mirroring into without
having to re-read it from the libvirt XML. The one thing that
was likely to be used in a mirroring job was the ready=
attribute, which is unchanged. Meanwhile, I made sure the schema
and parser still accept the old format, even if we no longer
output it, so that upgrading from an older version of libvirt is
seamless.

Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').
The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.
Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.
This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.

It doesn't make sense to fail if the SCSI host device is specified
as "shareable" explicitly between domains (NB, it works if and only
if the device is specified as "shareable" for *all* domains,
otherwise it fails).
To fix the problem, this patch introduces an array for virSCSIDevice
struct, which records all the names of domain which are using the
device (note that the recorded domains must specify the device as
shareable). And the change on the data struct brings on many
subsequent changes in the code.
Prior to this patch, the "shareable" tag didn't work as expected,
it actually work like "non-shareable". So this patch also added notes
in formatdomain.html to declare the fact.

Prefer using VFIO (if available) to the legacy KVM device passthrough.
With this patch a PCI passthrough device without the driver configured
will be started with VFIO if it's available on the host. If not legacy
KVM passthrough is checked and error is reported if it's not available.
Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>
This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.
The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.
This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.
Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.
Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:

According to VMWare's documentation 'cdrom-raw' is an acceptable value
for deviceType for a CD-ROM drive. The documentation states that the VMX
configuration for a CD-ROM deviceType is as follows:
ide|scsi(n):(n).deviceType = "cdrom-raw|atapi-cdrom|cdrom-image"
From the documentation it appears the following is true:
- cdrom-image = Provides the ISO to the VM
- atapi-cdrom = Provides a NEC emulated ATAPI CD-ROM on top of the host
CD-ROM
- cdrom-raw = Passthru for a host CD-ROM drive. Allows CD-R burning from
within the guest.
A CD-ROM prior to this patch would always provide an 'atapi-cdrom' is
modeled as:
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
This patch allows the 'device' attribute to be set to 'lun' for a raw
acccess CD-ROM such as:
<disk type='block' device='lun'>
<source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
This corresponds to '-sd' and '-drive if=sd' on the qemu command line.
Needed for many ARM boards which don't provide any other way to
pass in storage.
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.
To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

Commit 904e05a2 (v0.9.9) added a per-<disk> seclabel element with
an attribute relabel='no' in order to try and minimize the
impact of shutdown delays when an NFS server disappears. The idea
was that if a disk is on NFS and can't be labeled in the first
place, there is no need to attempt the (no-op) relabel on domain
shutdown. Unfortunately, the way this was implemented was by
modifying the domain XML so that the optimization would survive
libvirtd restart, but in a way that is indistinguishable from an
explicit user setting. Furthermore, once the setting is turned
on, libvirt avoids attempts at labeling, even for operations like
snapshot or blockcopy where the chain is being extended or pivoted
onto non-NFS, where SELinux labeling is once again possible. As
a result, it was impossible to do a blockcopy to pivot from an
NFS image file onto a local file.
The solution is to separate the semantics of a chain that must
not be labeled (which the user can set even on persistent domains)
vs. the optimization of not attempting a relabel on cleanup (a
live-only annotation), and using only the user's explicit notation
rather than the optimization as the decision on whether to skip
a label attempt in the first place. When upgrading an older
libvirtd to a newer, an NFS volume will still attempt the relabel;
but as the avoidance of a relabel was only an optimization, this
shouldn't cause any problems.
In the ideal future, libvirt will eventually have XML describing
EVERY file in the backing chain, with each file having a separate
<seclabel> element. At that point, libvirt will be able to track
more closely which files need a relabel attempt at shutdown. But
until we reach that point, the single <seclabel> for the entire
<disk> chain is treated as a hint - when a chain has only one
file, then we know it is accurate; but if the chain has more than
one file, we have to attempt relabel in spite of the attribute,
in case part of the chain is local and SELinux mattered for that
portion of the chain.

In one of my previous patches I am removing the hard_limit heuristic to
guess the correct value if none set. However, it turned out, this limit
is hard to guess even for users. We should advise them to not set the
limit as their domains may be OOM killed. Sigh.
This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.
Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.
Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.
This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.
This controller is implicit on q35 machinetypes. It provides 31 PCIe
(*not* PCI) slots as controller 0.
Currently there are no devices that can connect to pcie-root, and no
implicit pci controller on a q35 machine, so q35 is still
unusable. For a usable q35 system, we need to add a
"dmi-to-pci-bridge" pci controller, which can connect to pcie-root,
and provides standard pci slots that can be used to connect other
devices.
The outbound/@peak is ignored (since QoS was introduced). This is due to
kernel limitation of know allowing ingress filters to have peak just
average rate. However, we should document this limitation to not confuse
users.
Interestingly, we had <code>floor<code> ... </code>outbound</code> which
results in much larger block of text to be written in code style that
intended.
There are two ways to use a iSCSI LUN as disk source for qemu.
* The LUN's path as it shows up on host, e.g.
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-$ip:3260-iscsi-$iqn-fc18:iscsi.iscsi0-lun-1
* The libiscsi URI from the storage pool source element host attribute, e.g.
iscsi://demo.org:6000/iqn.1992-01.com.example/1
For a "volume" type disk, if the specified "pool" is of iscsi
type, we should support to use the LUN in either of above 2 ways.
That's why to introduce a new XML tag "mode" for the disk source
(libvirt should support iscsi pool with libiscsi, but it's another
new feature, which should be done later).
The "mode" can be either of "host" or "direct". Use "host" to indicate
use of the LUN with the path as it shows up on host. Use "direct" to
indicate to use it with the source pool host URI (future patches may support
to use network type libvirt storage too, e.g. Ceph)
Use the virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriodFlags() to pass a period defined by
usage of a new --period option in order to set the collection period for the
balloon driver. This may enable or disable the collection based on the value.
Add the --current, --live, & --config options to dommemstat.

Until now, the "host-model" cpu mode couldn't be influenced. This patch
allows to use the <feature> elements to either enable or disable
specific CPU flags. This can be used to force flags that can be emulated
even if the host CPU doesn't support them.
This patch introduces new element <idmap> for
user namespace. for example
<idmap>
<uid start='0' target='1000' count='10'/>
<gid start='0' target='1000' count='10'/>
</idmap>
this new element is used for setting proc files
/proc/<pid>/{uid_map,gid_map}.
This patch also supports multiple uid/gid elements
setting in XML configuration.
We don't support the semi configuation, user has to
configure uid and gid both.

This attribute is going to represent number of queues for
multique vhost network interface. This commit implements XML
extension part of the feature and add one test as well. For now,
we can only do xml2xml test as qemu command line generation code
is not adapted yet.
-vnc :5900,share=allow-exclusive
allows clients to ask for exclusive access which is
implemented by dropping other connections Connecting
multiple clients in parallel requires all clients asking
for a shared session (vncviewer: -shared switch)
-vnc :5900,share=force-shared
disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared
desktop sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting
specify -shared disconnect everybody else.
-vnc :5900,share=ignore
completely ignores the shared flag and allows everybody
connect unconditionally
QEMU might support more values for "-drive discard", so using Bi-state
values (on/off) for it doesn't make sense.
"on" maps to "unmap", "off" maps to "ignore":
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
The following XML configuration can be used to request all domain's
memory pages to be kept locked in host's memory (i.e., domain's memory
pages will not be swapped out):
<memoryBacking>
<locked/>
</memoryBacking>
QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53,
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
This patch exposes the support in libvirt.
QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0:
% git tag --contains a9384aff53
contains
v1.5.0-rc0
v1.5.0-rc1
So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.
Adding support for new attribute 'websocket' in the '<graphics>'
element, the attribute value is the port to listen on with '-1'
meaning auto-allocation, '0' meaning no websockets.
QEMU introduced command line "-mem-merge=on|off" (defaults to on) to
enable/disable the memory merge (KSM) at guest startup. This exposes
it by new XML:
<memoryBacking>
<nosharepages/>
</memoryBacking>
The XML tag is same with what we used internally for old RHEL.
The <filesystem> element can now accept a <driver type='nbd'/>
as an alternative to 'loop'. The benefit of NBD is support
for non-raw disk image formats.

Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to
allow a storage format to be set. The new attribute
uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is
different from the <driver> element in disk devices
which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This
is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices
is already used for the driver backend, for which the
disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh.
Anyway for disks we have
<driver name="qemu" type="raw"/>
And for filesystems this change means we now have
<driver type="loop" format="raw"/>

An example of the scsi hostdev XML:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='4' unit='8'/>
</hostdev>
Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.
The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let
libvirt generate it automatically.
This only introduces the generic XMLs for scsi hostdev, later patches
will add other elements, e.g. <readonly>, <shareable>.

The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.
This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

It's not desired to force users imagine path for a socket they
are not even supposed to connect to. On the other hand, we
already have a release where the qemu agent socket path is
exposed to XML, so we cannot silently drop it from there.
The new path is generated in form:
$LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/$domain.$name
for qemu system mode, and
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/lib/channel/target/$domain.$name
for qemu session mode.
