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.

Since commit b8a32e0e94, all man pages
depend on configure.ac so that they are properly regenerated whenever
libvirt version changes. Thus libvirt.spec needs to have a build
dependency on pod2man when %{enable_autotools} is set.
When a changelog entry references an RPM macro, % needs to be escaped so
that it does not appear expanded in package changelog.
Fri Mar 4 2009 is incorrect since Mar 4 was Wednesday. Since
libvirt-0.6.1 was released on Mar 4 2009, we should change Fri to Wed.
The macro was made to help installing broken packages that did not use
DESTDIR correctly by overriding individual path variables (prefix,
sysconfdir, ...). Newer rpm provides fixed make_install macro that calls
make install with just the correct DESTDIR, however it is not available
everywhere (e.g., RHEL 5 does not have it). On the other hand the
make_install macro is simple and straightforward enough for us to use
its expansion directly.
Nested conditionals are hard to read if they are not indented.
We can't add arbitrary whitespace to everything in spec files,
but we CAN add spaces before %if and %define. Use this trick,
plus a fancy sed script that rewrites a spec file into a C
file, so we can use cppi to keep our spec file nice.
For reference, the sed script converts code like:
|# RHEL-5 builds are client-only for s390, ppc
|%if 0%{?rhel} == 5
| %ifnarch %{ix86} x86_64 ia64
| %define client_only 1
| %endif
|%endif
into the following for cppi:
|// # RHEL-5 builds are client-only for s390, ppc
|#if a // 0%{?rhel} == 5
|# if a // %{ix86} x86_64 ia64
|# define client_only 1
|# endif
|#endif
and errors from 'make syntax-check' look like:
spec_indentation
cppi: mingw-libvirt.spec.in: line 130: not properly indented
maint.mk: incorrect preprocessor indentation
* libvirt.spec.in: Add some indentation to make it easier to follow
various conditionals.
* mingw-libvirt-spec.in: Likewise.
* cfg.mk (sc_spec_indentation): New syntax check to enforce it.
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

There are many aspects of the guest XML which result in the
SELinux driver applying file labelling. With the increasing
configuration options it is desirable to test this behaviour.
It is not possible to assume that the test suite has the
ability to set SELinux labels. Most filesystems though will
support extended attributes. Thus for the purpose of testing,
it is possible to extend the existing LD_PRELOAD hack to
override setfilecon() and getfilecon() to simply use the
'user.libvirt.selinux' attribute for the sake of testing.

On rhel5, libs of avahi are packaged into avahi instead of avahi-libs.
Actually, there is no avahi-libs package shipped with rhel5. This patch
fixes this by requiring avahi on rhel5.
The daemon-driver-{qemu,lxc} packages are only built if
%{with_driver_modules} is specified, so they do not need to

not need to further test this condition.

even though libvirt attempts to set fs.aio-max-nr via sysctl,
the file was installed with the wrong name and gets ignored by
sysctl. Furthermore, 'man systcl.d' recommends that packages
install into hard-coded /usr/lib/sysctl.d (even when libdir is

Unfortunately, rpm is stupid enough to bytycompile python scripts even
though they are located in /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-*/examples and
it does so after %install phase is finished. Thus there's no way we
could remove those files from BUILDROOT. As a workaround, we may safely
remove the examples subdirectory completely without losing anything. The
python scripts that were installed there are also copied directly into
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-*/ by
%doc python/tests/*.py
rule. And yes, the files are actually tests, not examples.
The virtlockd daemon maintains file locks on behalf of libvirtd
and any VMs it is running. These file locks must be held for as
long as any VM is running. If virtlockd itself ever quits, then
it is expected that a node would be fenced/rebooted. Thus to
allow for software upgrads on live systemd, virtlockd needs the
ability to re-exec() itself.
Upon receipt of SIGUSR1, virtlockd will save its current live
state out to a file /var/run/virtlockd-restart-exec.json
It then re-exec()'s itself with exactly the same argv as it
originally had, and loads the state file, reconstructing any
objects as appropriate.
The state file contains information about all locks held and
all network services and clients currently active. An example
state document is

The virtlockd daemon will maintain locks on behalf of libvirtd.
There are two reasons for it to be separate
- Avoid risk of other libvirtd threads accidentally
releasing fcntl() locks by opening + closing a file
that is locked
- Ensure locks can be preserved across libvirtd restarts.
virtlockd will need to be able to re-exec itself while
maintaining locks. This is simpler to achieve if its
sole job is maintaining locks

This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2.
Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is
designated 'technology preview' only and is incompatible with Xen 4.2
libxl. Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend,
for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver.

In older Fedora, the spec file for libivrt depended on avahi, which
included avahi-daemon, which in turn depended on dbus. But now that
avahi libs and avahi-daemon are (correctly) in separate pacakges,
and since we REALLY don't want a mandatory dependency on avahi-daemon,
and considering that our init scripts require the messagebus service
from dbus, we need to explicitly require dbus ourselves.

Implement the domainManagedSave, domainHasManagedSaveImage, and
domainManagedSaveRemove functions in the libvirt legacy xen driver.
domainHasManagedSaveImage check the managedsave image from filesystem
everytime. This is different from qemu and libxl driver. In qemu or
libxl driver, there is a hasManagesSave flag in virDomainObjPtr which
is not used in xen legacy driver. This flag could not add into xen
driver ptr either, because the driver ptr will be released at the end of
every libvirt api call. Meanwhile, AFAIK, xen store all the flags in
xen not in libvirt xen driver. There is no need to add this flag in xen.

This should not make a big difference in real world since libvirt-daemon,
which is already required by libvirt-lock-sanlock, requires
libvirt-client and thus libvirt-lock-sanlock gets this dependency
transitively. However, since libvirt-lock-sanlock contains
sanlock_helper binary linked to libvirt.so, we should start requiring
libvirt-client directly.
The previous commit was incomplete. We need to also add explicit
Requires for the newer version since RPM's automatic dependencies won't
work with sanlock.
libssh2 unfortunately doesn't support symbol versioning so RPM can't
figure out what version is needed for the currently installed libvirt
package. This patch adds a runtime requirement, so that the correct
version of libssh2 can be installed along with libvirt.
Libssh2 transport support was enabled lately but the spec file wasn't
updated to take this into account. This caused libvirt to be built
without libssh2 support in Red Hat based OSes.
While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.
The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).
I noticed that in two places, we require util-linux, and in a third,
we require util-linux-ng. On Fedora (I tested F15 through rawhide),
util-linux-ng is obsoleted by util-linux; on RHEL 6, util-linux
is obsoleted by util-linux-ng. That is, on either platform, either
name will get you the correct package installed (where the preferred
name on fedora is util-linux, and on RHEL 6 is util-linux-ng). But
on RHEL 5, there is no util-linux-ng
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Use util-linux, not util-linux-ng.

When building RPMs the host kernel cannot be assumed to match

A previous patch forced libnl-3 and netcf-0.2.2 (which itself requires
libnl-3) when *building* for Fedora 18+ (and RHEL 7+), but the
install-time Requires: for netcf has always been implicit due to
libvirtd linking with libnetcf.so. However, the since the API of netcf
didn't change when it was rebuilt to use libnl-3, the internal library
version didn't change either, making it possible (from rpm's point of
view) to upgrade libvirt without upgrading netcf (in reality, that
leads to a segfault - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853381).
The solution is to put an explicit Requires: line in libvirt's
specfile for fedora >= 18 and rhel >= 7.
The libvirt storage driver uses librbd.so for its functionality.
RPM will automatically add a dependency on the library, so there
is no need to have an explicit dependency on the ceph RPM itself.
This allows newer Fedora distros to avoid pulling in the huge
ceph RPM, in favour of just having the libraries installed
Everything is ready in both netcf and libvirt to switch over to libnl3
in future releases of both Fedora and RHEL. This needs to be done more
or less simultaneously in both packages, though, because you can't mix
libnl1.1 and libnl3 in the same process (e.g. libvirtd using
libnl-3.so and libnetcf.so, while libnetcf.so uses libnl.so)
This patch does two things when fedora >= 18 || rhel >= 7):
1) requires libnl3-devel
2) requires netcf-devel-0.2.2 or greater
(the idea is that a similar patch is going into netcf's specfile, so
that when a build of netcf is done on F18 or later (or RHEL7 or later)
netcf will be guaranteed to be built with libnl3 rather than
libnl-1.1)
* configure.ac, spec file: firewalld defaults to enabled if dbus is
available, otherwise is disabled. If --with_firewalld is explicitly
requested and dbus is not available, configure will fail.
* bridge_driver: add dbus filters to get the FirewallD1.Reloaded
signal and DBus.NameOwnerChanged on org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.
When these are encountered, reload all the iptables reuls of all
libvirt's virtual networks (similar to what happens when libvirtd is
restarted).
* iptables, ebtables: use firewall-cmd's direct passthrough interface
when available, otherwise use iptables and ebtables commands. This
decision is made once the first time libvirt calls
iptables/ebtables, and that decision is maintained for the life of
libvirtd.
* Note that the nwfilter part of this patch was separated out into
another patch by Stefan in V2, so that needs to be revised and
re-reviewed as well.
================
All the configure.ac and specfile changes are unchanged from Thomas'
V3.
V3 re-ran "firewall-cmd --state" every time a new rule was added,
which was extremely inefficient. V4 uses VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT to set
up a one-time initialization function.
The VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(x) macro references a static function called
vir(Ip|Eb)OnceInit(), which will then be called the first time that
the static function vir(Ip|Eb)TablesInitialize() is called (that
function is defined for you by the macro). This is
thread-safe, so there is no chance of any race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've left the VIR_DEBUG messages in these two init
functions (one for iptables, on for ebtables) as VIR_WARN so that I
don't have to turn on all the other debug message just to see
these. Even if this patch doesn't need any other modification, those
messages need to be changed to VIR_DEBUG before pushing.
This one-time initialization works well. However, I've encountered
problems with testing:
1) Whenever I have enabled the firewalld service, *all* attempts to
call firewall-cmd from within libvirtd end with firewall-cmd hanging
internally somewhere. This is *not* the case if firewall-cmd returns
non-0 in response to "firewall-cmd --state" (i.e. *that* command runs
and returns to libvirt successfully.)
2) If I start libvirtd while firewalld is stopped, then start
firewalld later, this triggers libvirtd to reload its iptables rules,
however it also spits out a *ton* of complaints about deletion failing
(I suppose because firewalld has nuked all of libvirt's rules). I
guess we need to suppress those messages (which is a more annoying
problem to fix than you might think, but that's another story).
3) I noticed a few times during this long line of errors that
firewalld made a complaint about "Resource Temporarily
unavailable. Having libvirtd access iptables commands directly at the
same time as firewalld is doing so is apparently problematic.
4) In general, I'm concerned about the "set it once and never change
it" method - if firewalld is disabled at libvirtd startup, causing
libvirtd to always use iptables/ebtables directly, this won't cause
*terrible* problems, but if libvirtd decides to use firewall-cmd and
firewalld is later disabled, libvirtd will not be able to recover.
The 'make check' was rebuilding the binaries just overrided,

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.
To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.
The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.
For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

Introduce a set sub-RPMs, one per hypervisor, which can be used
as dependency targets by applications wishing to pull in the
full stack of packages required for a specific hypervisor. This
avoids the application needing to know what the hypervisor specific
package set is.
ie, applications should not need to know that using the libvirt
Xen hypervisor requires the 'xen' RPM - libvirt should take care
of that knowledge. All the application wants is 'libvirt-daemon-xen'
There are 5 sub-RPMs:
libvirt-daemon-qemu - non-native TCG based emulators
libvirt-daemon-kvm - native KVM hypervisor
libvirt-daemon-uml - User Mode linux
libvirt-daemon-xen - Xen, either via XenD or libxl
libvirt-daemon-lxc - Linux native containers
When driver modules get turned on, these sub-RPMs will also
gain dependencies on the appropriate driver module .so files
Take the libvirt RPM and split it into three pieces
- libvirt-daemon - libvirtd & other mandatory bits for its operation
- libvirt-daemon-config-network - the virbr0 config definition
- libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter - the firewall config rules
For backwards compatibility with existing installs / application RPM
deps, the 'libvirt' RPM is retained, but will have a dependency on
the 3 new RPMs.
Currently documentation is split between the libvirt RPM and the
libvirt-devel RPM. In the client-only build there is no libvirt
RPM, so the docs need to live elsewhere. The obvious answer is a
dedicated libvirt-docs RPM. For back-compatibility make the
libvirt-devel RPM require the libvirt-docs RPM
* libvirt.spec.in: Create separate libvirt-docs RPM
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: update for the release
* po/*.po*: updated a number of languages translation including new
indian languages and regenerated
* libvirt.spec.in: Remove obsolete --with-remote-pid-file arg.
Add missing %{without_libxl} statement. Fix handling of docs
in client only build. Put systemtap files in -client RPM
instead of -daemon RPM
* examples/xml/nwfilter/Makefile.am: Don't install examples if
nwfilter is disabled.
There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:
- Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
question
- Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
inside a guest
- It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
required to manage a specific hypervisor
This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus
- libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
- libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
- libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
- libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
- libvirt-docs: the website HTML
We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages
- libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
- libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
- libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
- libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon
- libvirt-daemon-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'xen'
- libvirt-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon-qemu & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon-kvm & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon-lxc & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon-uml & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
- libvirt-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon-xen & libvirt-daemon-config-network
My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include
any specific drivers, instead we'll get libvirt-daemon-driver-XXXX
packages for each driver. The libvirt-daemon-XXX packages will
then pull in each driver that they require.
It is recommended that applications required a locally installed
libvirtd daemon, use either 'Requires: libvirt-daemon-XXXX' or
'Requires: libvirt-XXX' and *not* "Requires: libvirt-daemon"
or 'Requires: libvirt'
* libvirt.spec.in: Refactor RPMs
* docs/packaging.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in: Document
new RPM split rationale
After adding the libvirt-guests service into usual runlevels, we used
to start the libvirt-guests service. However this is usually not a
good practice. As mentioned on fedoraproject wiki, the installations
can be in changeroots, in an installer context, or in other situations
where we don't want the services autostarted.
Currently, if scrub (used for wiping algorithms) is not present
at compile time, we don't support any other wiping algorithms than
zeroing, even if it was installed later. Switch to runtime detection
instead.
