There is one problem that causes various errors in the daemon. When
domain is waiting for a job, it is unlocked while waiting on the
condition. However, if that domain is for example transient and being
removed in another API (e.g. cancelling incoming migration), it get's
unref'd. If the first call, that was waiting, fails to get the job, it
unref's the domain object, and because it was the last reference, it
causes clearing of the whole domain object. However, when finishing the
call, the domain must be unlocked, but there is no way for the API to
know whether it was cleaned or not (unless there is some ugly temporary
variable, but let's scratch that).
The root cause is that our APIs don't ref the objects they are using and
all use the implicit reference that the object has when it is in the
domain list. That reference can be removed when the API is waiting for
a job. And because each domain doesn't do its ref'ing, it results in
the ugly checking of the return value of virObjectUnref() that we have
everywhere.
This patch changes qemuDomObjFromDomain() to ref the domain (using
virDomainObjListFindByUUIDRef()) and adds qemuDomObjEndAPI() which
should be the only function in which the return value of
virObjectUnref() is checked. This makes all reference counting
deterministic and makes the code a bit clearer.

Although QMP returns info about vCPU threads in TCG mode, the
data it returns is mostly lies. Only the first vCPU has a valid
thread_id returned. The thread_id given for the other vCPUs is
in fact the main emulator thread. All vCPUs actually run under
the same thread in TCG mode.
Our vCPU pinning code is not at all able to cope with this
so if you try to set CPU affinity per-vCPU you end up with
wierd errors
error: Failed to start domain instance-00000007
error: cannot set CPU affinity on process 24365: Invalid argument
Since few people will care about the performance of TCG with
strict CPU pinning, lets just disable that for now, so we get
a clear error message
error: Failed to start domain instance-00000007
error: Requested operation is not valid: cpu affinity is not supported
The code assumes that def->vcpus == nvcpupids, so when we setup
fake CPU pids for old QEMU with nvcpupids == 1, we cause the
later code to read off the end of the array. This has fun results
like sche_setaffinity(0, ...) which changes libvirtd's own CPU
affinity, or even better sched_setaffinity($RANDOM, ...) which
changes the affinity of a random OS process.

In qemu there are two interesting arguments:
1) -numa to create a guest NUMA node
2) -object memory-backend-{ram,file} to tell qemu which memory
region on which host's NUMA node it should allocate the guest
memory from.
Combining these two together we can instruct qemu to create a
guest NUMA node that is tied to a host NUMA node. And it works
just fine. However, depending on machine type used, there might
be some issued during migration when OVMF is enabled (see QEMU
BZ). While this truly is a QEMU bug, we can help avoiding it. The
problem lies within the memory backend objects somewhere. Having
said that, fix on our side consists on putting those objects on
the command line if and only if needed. For instance, while
previously we would construct this (in all ways correct) command
line:
-object memory-backend-ram,size=256M,id=ram-node0 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
now we create just:
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256
because the backend object is obviously not tied to any specific
host NUMA node.

The documentation for virDomainBlockInfo was confusing: it stated
that 'physical' was the size of the container, then gave an example
of it being the amount of storage used by a sparse file (that is,
for a sparse raw image on a regular file, the wording implied
capacity==physical, while allocation was smaller; but the example
instead claimed physical==allocation). Since we use 'physical' for
the last offset of a block device, we should do likewise for
regular files.
Furthermore, the example claimed that for a qcow2 regular file,
allocation==physical. At the time the code was first written,
this was true (qcow2 files were allocated sequentially, and were
never sparse, so the last sector written happened to also match
the disk space occupied); but modern qemu does much better and
can punch holes for a qcow2 with allocation < physical.
Basically, after this patch, the three fields are now reliably
mapped as:
'capacity' - how much storage the guest can see (equal to
physical for raw images, determined by image metadata otherwise)
'allocation' - how much storage the image occupies (similar to
what 'du' would report)
'physical' - the last offset of the image (similar to what 'ls'
would report)
'capacity' can be larger than 'physical' (such as for a qcow2
image that does not vary much from a backing file) or smaller
(such as for a qcow2 file with lots of internal snapshots).
Likewise, 'allocation' can be (slightly) larger than 'physical'
(such as counting the tail of cluster allocations required to
round a file size up to filesystem granularity) or smaller
(for a sparse file). A block-resize operation changes capacity
(which, for raw images, also changes physical); many non-raw
images automatically grow physical and allocation as necessary
when starting with an allocation smaller than capacity; and even
when capacity and physical stay unchanged, allocation can change
when converting sectors from holes to data or back.
Note that this does not change semantics for qcow2 images stored
on block devices; there, we still rely on qemu to report the
highest written extent for allocation. So using this API to
track when to extend a block device because a qcow2 image is
about to exceed a threshold will not see any changes.
Also, note that virStorageVolInfo is unfortunately limited to
just 'capacity' and 'allocation' (we can't expand it to add
'physical', although we can expand the XML to add it there);
historically, that struct's 'allocation' value has reported
file size for qcow2 files (what this patch terms 'physical'
for a domain block device), but disk usage for raw files (what
this patch terms 'allocation'). So follow-up patches will be
needed to make storage volumes report the same allocation
values and get at physical values, where those differ.

Right now, grabbing blockinfo always calls stat on the disk, then
opens the image to determine the capacity, using a throw-away
virStorageSourcePtr. This has a couple of drawbacks:
1. We are calling stat and opening a file on every invocation of
the API. However, there are cases where the stats should NOT be
changing between successive calls (if a domain is running, no
one should be changing the physical size of a block device or raw
image behind our backs; capacity of read-only files should not
be changing; and we are the gateway to the block-resize command
to know when the capacity of read-write files should be changing).
True, we still have to use stat in some cases (a sparse raw file
changes allocation if it is read-write and the amount of holes is
changing, and a read-write qcow2 image stored in a file changes
physical size if it was not fully pre-allocated). But for
read-only images, even this should be something we can remember
from the previous time, rather than repeating every call.
2. We want to enhance the power of virDomainListGetStats, by
sharing code. But we already have a virStorageSourcePtr for
each disk, and it would be easier to reuse the common structure
than to have to worry about the one-off virDomainBlockInfoPtr.
While this patch does not optimize reuse of information in point
1, it does get us closer to being able to do so; by updating a
structure that survives between consecutive calls.
* src/util/virstoragefile.h (_virStorageSource): Add physical, to
mirror virDomainBlockInfo; rearrange fields to match public struct.
(virStorageSourceCopy): Copy the new field.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetBlockInfo): Store into

In order for a future patch to virDomainListGetStats to reuse
some code for determining disk usage of offline domains, we
need to make it easier to pull out part of the guts of grabbing
blockinfo. The current implementation grabs a job fairly late
in the game, while getstats will already own a job; reordering
things so that the job is always grabbed up front in both
functions will make it easier to pull out the common code.
This patch results in grabbing a job in cases where one was not
previously needed, but as it is a query job, it should not be
noticeably slower.
This patch touches the same code as the fix for CVE-2014-6458
(commit b799259); in that patch, we avoided hotplug changing
a disk reference during the time of obtaining a monitor lock
by copying all data we needed and no longer referencing disk;
this patch goes the other way and ensures that by holding the
job, the disk cannot be changed so we no longer need to worry
about the disk being invalidated across the monitor lock.

When libvirt is managing a bridge's forwarding database (FDB)
(macTableManager='libvirt'), if we add FDB entries for a new guest
interface even before the qemu process is created, then in the case of
a migration any other guest attached to the "destination" bridge will
have its traffic immediately sent to the destination of the migration
even while the source domain is still running (and the destination, of
course, isn't). To make sure that traffic from other guests on the new
host continues flowing to the old guest until the new one is ready, we
have to wait until the new guest CPUs are started to add the FDB
entries.
Conversely, we need to remove the FDB entries from the bridge any time
the guest CPUs are stopped; among other things, this will assure
proper operation during a post-copy migration (which is just the
opposite of the problem described in the previous paragraph).

We now have a qemuInterfaceStartDevices() which does the final
activation needed for the host-side tap/macvtap devices that are used
for qemu network connections. It will soon make sense to have the
converse qemuInterfaceStopDevices() which will undo whatever was done
during qemuInterfaceStartDevices().
A function to "stop" a single device has also been added, and is
called from the appropriate place in qemuDomainDetachNetDevice(),
although this is currently unnecessary - the device is going to
immediately be deleted anyway, so any extra "deactivation" will be for
naught. The call is included for completeness, though, in anticipation
that in the future there may be some required action that *isn't*
nullified by deleting the device.
This patch is a part of a more complete fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081461
The patch that added qemuInterfaceStartDevices() (upstream commit
82977058f5) had an extra conditional to
prevent calling it if the reason for starting the CPUs was
VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING_UNPAUSED or VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING_SAVE_CANCELED. This
was put in by the author as the result of a reviewer asking if it was
necessary to ifup the interfaces in *all* occasions (because these
were the two cases where the CPU would have already been started (and
stopped) once, so the interface would already be ifup'ed).
It turns out that, as long as there is no corresponding
qemuInterfaceStopDevices() to ifdown the interfaces anytime the CPUs
are stopped, neglecting to ifup when reason is RUNNING_UNPAUSED or
RUNNING_SAVE_CANCELED doesn't cause any problems (because it just
happens that the interface will have already been ifup'ed by a prior
call when the CPU was previously started for some other reason).
However, it also doesn't *help*, and there will soon be a
qemuInterfaceStopDevices() function which *will* ifdown these
interfaces when the guest CPUs are stopped, and once that is done, the
interfaces will be left down in some cases when they should be up (for
example, if a domain is paused and then unpaused).
So, this patch is removing the condition in favor of always calling
qemuInterfaeStartDevices() when the guest CPUs are started.
This patch (and the aforementioned patch) resolve:

Avoid leaving the domain locked on a failed ACL check in
qemuDomainMigratePerform() and qemuDomainMigrateFinish2().
Introduced in commit abf75aea24 (Add ACL checks into the QEMU driver).
qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() used to have a special case for
actualType='network' (a network with forward mode of route, nat, or
isolated) to call the libvirt public API to retrieve the bridge being
used by a network. That is no longer necessary - since all network
types that use a bridge and tap device now get the bridge name stored
in the ActualNetDef, we can just always use
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName() instead.
(an audit of the two callers to qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() confirms
that it is never called for any other type of network, so the dead
code in the else statement (logging an internal error if it is called
for any other type of network) is eliminated in the process.)
When libvirt is managing the MAC table of a Linux host bridge, it must
turn off learning and unicast_flood for each tap device attached to
that bridge, then add a Forwarding Database (fdb) entry for the tap
device using the MAC address from the domain interface config.
Once we have disabled learning and flooding, any packet that has a
destination MAC address not present in the fdb will be dropped by the
bridge. This, along with the opportunistic disabling of promiscuous
mode[*], can result in enhanced network performance. and a potential
slight security improvement.
[*] If there is only one device on the bridge with learning/unicast_flood
enabled, then that device will automatically have promiscuous mode
disabled. If there are *no* devices with learning/unicast_flood
enabled (e.g. for a libvirt "route", "nat", or isolated network that
has no physical device attached), then all non-tap devices will have
promiscuous mode disabled (tap devices always have promiscuous mode
enabled, which may be a bug in the kernel, but in practice has 0
effect).
None of this has any effect for kernels prior to 3.15 (upstream kernel
commit 2796d0c648c940b4796f84384fbcfb0a2399db84 "bridge: Automatically
manage port promiscuous mode"). Even after that, until kernel 3.17
(upstream commit 5be5a2df40f005ea7fb7e280e87bbbcfcf1c2fc0 "bridge: Add
filtering support for default_pvid") traffic will not be properly
forwarded without manually adding vlan table entries. Unfortunately,
although the presence of the first patch is signalled by existence of
the "learning" and "unicast_flood" options in sysfs, there is no
reliable way to query whether or not the system's kernel has the
second of those patches installed, the only thing that can be done is
to try the setting and see if traffic continues to pass.
I'm about to make block stats optionally more complex to cover
backing chains, where block.count will no longer equal the number
of <disks> for a domain. For these reasons, it is nicer if the
statistics output includes the source path (for local files).
This patch doesn't add anything for network disks, although we
may decide to add that later.
With this patch, I now see the following for the same domain as
in the previous patch (one qcow2 file, and an empty cdrom drive):
$ virsh domstats --block foo
Domain: 'foo'
block.count=2
block.0.name=hda
block.0.path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.qcow2
block.1.name=hdc
* src/libvirt-domain.c (virConnectGetAllDomainStats): Document
new field.
* tools/virsh.pod (domstats): Document new field.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetStatsBlock): Return the new
stat for local files/block devices.
(QEMU_ADD_NAME_PARAM): Add parameter.
(qemuDomainGetStatsInterface): Update caller.

I noticed that for an offline domain, 'virsh domstats --block $dom'
was producing just the domain name, with no stats. But the older
'virsh domblkinfo' works just fine on offline domains. This patch
starts to get us closer, by at least reporting the disk names for
an offline domain.
With this patch, I now see the following for an offline domain
with one qcow2 disk and an empty cdrom drive:
$ virsh domstats --block foo
Domain: 'foo'
block.count=2
block.0.name=hda
block.1.name=hdc
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetStatsBlock): Don't short-circuit
output of block name.

qemuDomainGetStatsBlock() could leak a stats hash table if it
encountered OOM while populating the virTypedParameters.
Oddly, the fix doesn't even touch qemuDomainGetStatsBlock :)
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (QEMU_ADD_COUNT_PARAM)
(QEMU_ADD_NAME_PARAM): Don't return early.
(qemuDomainGetStatsInterface): Adjust caller.

If probing capabilities via QMP fails, we now have a check
that prevents us falling back to -help parsing. Unfortunately
the error message
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
unsupported configuration: QEMU 2.1.2 is too new for help parsing"
is proving rather unhelpful to the user. We need to be telling
them why QMP failed (the root cause), rather than they can't
use -help (the side effect).
To do this we should capture stderr during QMP probing, and
if -help parsing then sees a new QEMU version, we know that
QMP should have worked, and so we can show the messages from
stderr. The message thus becomes
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
internal error: QEMU / QMP failed: Could not access
KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory"
When attempting to create internal system checkpoint with a passthrough
device qemu will report the following error:
error: operation failed: Error -22 while writing VM
This patch calls the function to check if migration is possible with
given VM and thus improves the error to:
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain has assigned non-USB host devices

Move entering the job into the thread to simplify the program flow. Also
as the code holds a separate reference to the domain object some
conditions can be simplified.
After this patch qemuDomainObjTransferJob is no longer needed so this
patch removes it.
