Testing various configuration schemas targeting postive and negative
nestedhvm under libvirt <cpu mode="host-passthrough"> configuration.
Mode "host-passthrough" generates nestedhvm=1 in/from xl format where
Intel virtualization (VT-x):
<feature policy='disable' name='vmx'/>
or
AMD virtualization (AMD-V):
<feature policy='disable' name='svm'/>
disables virtualization mode under guest domains.

Per xen-xl conversions from and to native under host-passthrough
mode we take care for Xen (nestedhvm = mode) applied and inherited
settings generating or processing correct feature policy:
[On Intel (VT-x) architectures]
<feature policy='disable' name='vmx'/>
or
[On AMD (AMD-V) architectures]
<feature policy='disable' name='svm'/>
It will then generate (or parse) for nestedhvm=1 in/from xl format.

Xen feature nestedhvm is the option on Xen 4.4+ which enables
nested virtualization when mode host-passthrough is applied.
nested HVM is enabled by adding below on the target domain;
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
Virtualization on target domain can be disabled by specifying
such under feature policy rule on target name;
[On Intel (VT-x) architecture]
<feature policy='disable' name='vmx'/>
or:

This patch maps /domain/cpu/cache element into -cpu parameters:
- <cache mode='passthrough'/> is translated to host-cache-info=on
- <cache level='3' mode='emulate'/> is transformed into l3-cache=on
- <cache mode='disable'/> is turned in host-cache-info=off,l3-cache=off
Any other <cache> element is forbidden.
The tricky part is detecting whether QEMU supports the CPU properties.
The 'host-cache-info' property is introduced in v2.4.0-1389-ge265e3e480,
earlier QEMU releases enabled host-cache-info by default and had no way
to disable it. If the property is present, it defaults to 'off' for any
QEMU until at least 2.9.0.
The 'l3-cache' property was introduced later by v2.7.0-200-g14c985cffa.
Earlier versions worked as if l3-cache=off was passed. For any QEMU
until at least 2.9.0 l3-cache is 'off' by default.
QEMU 2.9.0 was the first release which supports probing both properties
by running device-list-properties with typename=host-x86_64-cpu. Older
QEMU releases did not support device-list-properties command for CPU
devices. Thus we can't really rely on probing them and we can just use
query-cpu-model-expansion QMP command as a witness.
Because the cache property probing is only reliable for QEMU >= 2.9.0
when both are already supported for quite a few releases, we let QEMU
report an error if a specific cache mode is explicitly requested. The
other mode (or both if a user requested CPU cache to be disabled) is
explicitly turned off for QEMU >= 2.9.0 to avoid any surprises in case
the QEMU defaults change. Any older QEMU already turns them off so not
doing so explicitly does not make any harm.

Not all async jobs are visible via virDomainGetJobStats (either they are
too fast or getting the stats is not allowed during the job), but
forcing all of them to advertise the operation is easier than hunting
the jobs for which fetching statistics is allowed. And we won't need to
think about this when we add support for getting stats for more jobs.

I tried to attach a SCSI LUN to two different guests, and forgot
to specify "shareable" in the hostdev XML. Attaching the device
to the second guest failed, but the message was not helpful in
telling me what I was doing wrong:
$ cat scsi_scratch_disk.xml
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host3'/>
<address bus='0' target='15' unit='1074151456'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
$ virsh attach-device dasd_sles_d99c scsi_scratch_disk.xml
Device attached successfully
$ virsh attach-device dasd_fedora_0e1e scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: Failed to attach device from scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: internal error: Unable to prepare scsi hostdev: scsi_host3:0:15:1074151456
I eventually discovered my error, but thought it was weird that
Libvirt doesn't provide something more helpful in this case.
Looking over the code we had just gone through, I commented out
the "internal error" message, and got something more useful:
$ virsh attach-device dasd_fedora_0e1e scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: Failed to attach device from scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: Requested operation is not valid: SCSI device 3:0:15:1074151456 is already in use by other domain(s) as 'non-shareable'
Looking over the error paths here, we seem to issue better
messages deeper in the callchain so these "internal error"
messages overwrite any of them. Remove them, so that the
more detailed errors are seen.

qemuDomainGetNumaParameters would return the automatic nodeset even for

While peer-to-peer migration enters the Confirm phase even if the
Perform phase fails, the client which initiated a non-p2p migration will
never call virDomainMigrateConfirm* API if the Perform phase failed.
Thus we need to explicitly reset migration before reporting a failure

Migration with old QEMU which does not support query-migrate-parameters
would fail because the QMP command is called unconditionally since the
introduction of TLS migration. Previously it was only called if the user
explicitly requested a feature which uses QEMU migration parameters. And
even then the situation was not ideal, instead of reporting an
unsupported feature we'd just complain about missing QMP command.
Trivially no migration parameters are supported when
query-migrate-parameters QMP command is missing. There's no need to
report an error if it is missing, the callers will report better error
if needed.

During 'matrix' testing of all possible combinations I found that if
device is formated with "gpt" first, then an attempt is made to format
using "mac", a startup will fail.
Deeper analysis by Peter Krempa indicates that the "mac" table fits
into the first block on the disk. Since the GPT disklabel is stored
at LBA address 1 it is not overwritten at all. Thus it's apparent that
the (blkid) detection tool then prefers GPT over a older disklabel.
The GPT disklabel has also a secondary copy at the last LBA of the disk.
So, follow the same logic as the logical pool in clearing a 1MB swath
at the beginning and end of the device to avoid potential issues with
larger sector sizes for the device.
Also fixed a minor formatting nit in virStorageBackendDeviceIsEmpty call.
