A number of the libvirt APIs require the use of cgroups. This is not
enabled by default on a RHEL6 install. After discussion with cgroups
team, it was decided that upon installation of the libvirt RPM, we
should automatically turn on the cgroups service. This will activate a
default configuration that turns on all cgroups controllers libvirt
requires for full operation.
This patch fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664406
If qemu is run as a different uid, it has been unable to access mode
0660 files that are owned by a different user, but with a group that
the qemu is a member of (aside from the one group listed in the passwd
file), because initgroups() is not being called prior to the
exec. initgroups will change the group membership of the process (and
its children) to match the new uid.
To make this happen, the setregid()/setreuid() code in
qemuSecurityDACSetProcessLabel has been replaced with a call to
virSetUIDGID(), which does both of those, plus calls initgroups.
Similar, but not identical, code in qemudOpenAsUID() has been replaced
with virSetUIDGID(). This not only consolidates the functionality to a
single location, but also potentially fixes some as-yet unreported
bugs.
virSetUIDGID() sets both the real and effective group and user of the
process, and additionally calls initgroups() to assure that the
process joins all the auxiliary groups that the given uid is a member
of.
There are cases when we want log an error message, and possibly free
some memory as part of the cleanup, while still preserving errno for a
caller, but the functions that log errors, and virFree (VIR_FREE) make
system calls that will clear errno. This patch preserves errno during
those most basic functions (corresponding to virReportSystemError(),
virReportOOMError(), networkReportError(), etc, as well as
virStrError()). It does *not preserve errno across calls to higher
level items such as virDispatchError(), as it's assumed the caller is
all finished with any need for errno by the time it dispatches the
error.
Running an instance of the router advertisement daemon (radvd) allows
guests using the virtual network to automatically acquire an IPv6
address and default route. Note that acquiring an address only works
for networks with a prefix length of exactly 64 - radvd is still run
in other circumstances, and still advertises routes, but autoconf will
not work because it requires exactly 64 bits of address info from the
network prefix.
This patch avoids a race condition with the pidfile by manually
daemonizing radvd rather than allowing it to daemonize itself, then
creating our own pidfile (in addition to radvd's own file, which is
unnecessary, but there is no way to tell radvd to not create it). This
is accomplished by exec'ing it with "--debug 1" in the commandline,
and using virCommand's features to fork, create a pidfile, and detach
from the newly forked process.
At this point everything is already in place to make IPv6 happen, we just
need to add a few rules, remove some checks for IPv4-only, and document
the changes to the XML on the website.
All of the iptables functions eventually call down to a single
bottom-level function, and fortunately, ip6tables syntax (for all the
args that we use) is identical to iptables format (except the
addresses), so all we need to do is:
1) Get an address family down to the lowest level function in each
case, either implied through an address, or explicitly when no
address is in the parameter list, and
2) At the lowest level, just decide whether to call "iptables" or
"ip6tables" based on the family.
The location of the ip6tables binary is determined at build time by
autoconf. If a particular target system happens to not have ip6tables
installed, any attempts to run it will generate an error, but that
won't happen unless someone tries to define an IPv6 address for a
network. This is identical behavior to IPv4 addresses and iptables.
This patch reorganizes the code in bridge_driver.c to account for the
concept of a single network with multiple IP addresses, without adding
in the extra variable of IPv6. A small bit of code has been
temporarily added that checks all given addresses to verify they are
IPv4 - this will be removed when full IPv6 support is turned on.
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
* there can now be more than one <ip> element.
* ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
* new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
* new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
(will default to ipv4)
* define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
(including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
correctly parsed and formatted.
In practice this has always been optional, but the RNG has shown it as
mandatory, and since all the examples for make check had it, it was
never noticed. One of the existing test cases has been changed to
check for this.
I also noticed that the dhcp/host/ip was still defined as <text/>,
but should really be <ref name='ipv4-addr'/>
brSetInetAddress can only set a single IP address on the bridge, and
uses a method (ioctl(SIOCSETIFADDR)) that only works for IPv4. Replace
it and brSetInetNetmask with a single function that uses the external
"ip addr add" command to add an address/prefix to the interface - this
supports IPv6, and allows adding multiple addresses to the interface.
Although it isn't currently used in the code, we also add a
brDelInetAddress for completeness' sake.
Also, while we're modifying bridge.c, we change brSetForwardDelay and
brSetEnableSTP to use the new virCommand API rather than the
deprecated virRun, and also log an error message in bridge_driver.c if
either of those fail (previously the failure would be completely
silent).
When a netmask isn't specified for an IPv4 address, one can be implied
based on what network class range the address is in. The
virNetworkDefPrefix function does this for us, so netmask isn't
required.
IPv6 will use prefix exclusively, and IPv4 will also optionally be
able to use it, and the iptables functions really need a prefix
anyway, so use the new virNetworkDefPrefix() function to send prefixes
into iptables functions instead of netmasks.
Also, in a couple places where a netmask is actually needed, use the
new private API function for it rather than getting it directly. This
will allow for cases where no netmask or prefix is specified (it
returns the default for the current class of network.)
Some functions in this file were returning 1 on success and 0 on
failure, and others were returning 0 on success and -1 on
failure. Switch them all to return the libvirt-preferred 0/-1.
The functions in iptables.c all return -1 on failure, but all their
callers (which all happen to be in bridge_driver.c) assume that they
are returning an errno, and the logging is done accordingly. This
patch fixes all the error checking and logging to assume < 0 is an
error, and nothing else.
Later patches will add the possibility to define a network's netmask
as a prefix (0-32, or 0-128 in the case of IPv6). To make it easier to
deal with definition of both kinds (prefix or netmask), add two new
functions:
virNetworkDefNetmask: return a copy of the netmask into a
virSocketAddr. If no netmask was specified in the XML, create a
default netmask based on the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address.
virNetworkDefPrefix: return the netmask as numeric prefix (or the
default prefix for the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address, if no netmask was specified in the XML)
virSocketPrefixToNetmask: Given a 'prefix', which is the number of 1
bits in a netmask, fill in a virSocketAddr object with a netmask as an
IP address (IPv6 or IPv4).
virSocketAddrMask: Mask off the host bits in one virSocketAddr
according to the netmask in another virSocketAddr.
virSocketAddrMaskByPrefix, Mask off the host bits in a virSocketAddr
according to a prefix (number of 1 bits in netmask).
VIR_SOCKET_FAMILY: return the family of a virSocketAddr
Shorten qemuDomainSnapshotWriteSnapshotMetadata function name
and make it take a snapshot pointer instead of dealing with
the current snapshot. Update other functions accordingly.
Add a qemuDomainSnapshotReparentChildren hash iterator to
reparent the children of a snapshot that is being deleted. Use
qemuDomainSnapshotWriteMetadata to write updated metadata
to disk.
This fixes a problem where outdated parent information breaks
the snapshot tree and hinders the deletion of child snapshots.

I began noticing a race when reserving VNC ports as described here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-November/msg00379.html
Turns out that we were not initializing the size field of bitmap
struct when allocating the bitmap. This subsequently caused
virBitmapSetBit() to fail since bitmap->size is 0, hence we never
actually reserved the port.
Fix glitch in commit cddd2a06 (thankfully post-0.8.6, so no
released version has the glitch).
Document and try to workaround glitch in commit 46e9b0f (in 0.8.0),
which invalidated 6 virErrorNumber values dating as far back as 0.7.1.
My audit did not find any other glitches until pre-0.1.0 days. I'm
not sure how to add a syntax-check off the top of my head, but
hopefully the explicit numbering will make people think twice about
renumbering in the future.
* include/libvirt/virterror.h (virErrorDomain): Avoid inserting
new values in the middle, and add explicit numbering to help avoid
this in the future.
(virErrorNumber): Add explicit numbering, and document the snafu.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteIO): Compensate for the snafu.
This fixes the build from a tarball and makes autobuild.sh
work again.
This should actually have been part of this earlier commit:
esx: Move VMX handling code out of the driver directory
42b2f35d36
Reported by Eric Blake.
All other drivers are explicitly linked to gnulib. The VMware
driver lacked this, resulting in mdir_name being an undefine
symbol.
Explicitly link the VMware driver to gnulib to fix this.
Now the VMware driver doesn't depend on the ESX driver anymore.
Add a WITH_VMX option that depends on WITH_ESX and WITH_VMWARE.
Also add a libvirt_vmx.syms file.
Move some escaping functions from esx_util.c to vmx.c.
Adapt the test suite, ESX and VMware driver to the new code layout.
Connecting to a ESX(i) server that is part of a cluster failed
when the connection also involved a vCenter.
Accept ClusterComputeResource type in addition to ComputeResource
type in the object lookup function.
Reported by Guillaume Le Louët.
If there is a dangling symbolic link in filesystem pool, the pool
will fail to start or refresh, this patch is to fix it by ignoring
it with a warning log.
Network disks are accessed by qemu directly, and have no
associated file on the host, so checking for file ownership etc.
is unnecessary.

When running 'make check' under a multi-cpu Dom0 xen machine,
nodeinfotest had a spurious failure it was reading from
/sys/devices/system/cpu, but xen has no notion of topology. The test
was intended to be isolated from reading any real system files; the

I got some spurious failures when commandhelper won the race and
ran to the point of parent detection prior to the intermediate

While not technically a double free (since VIR_FREE NULLs the

This crept in when the function was converted from virRun to virCommand.
