Commit 6766ff10 introduced a corner case bug with snapshot creation:
if a snapshot is created, but then we hit OOM while trying to
create the return value of the function, then we have polluted the
internal directory with the snapshot metadata with no way to clean
it up from the running libvirtd.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Don't
write metadata file on OOM condition.
Created by copying from qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-v2-wb.*, then
s/writeback/directsync/. Hopefully this matches Osier's intentions.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-directsync.args:
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-cache-directsync.xml:
Add missing files needed by 'make check'.
Newer QEMU introduced cache=directsync for -drive, this patchset
is to expose it in libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_DIRECTSYNC),
As even $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't known if directsync
is supported.
This patch adds the ability to make the filesystem for a filesystem
pool during a pool build.
The patch adds two new flags, no overwrite and overwrite, to control
when mkfs gets executed. By default, the patch preserves the
current behavior, i.e., if no flags are specified, pool build on a
filesystem pool only makes the directory on which the filesystem
will be mounted.
If the no overwrite flag is specified, the target device is checked
to determine if a filesystem of the type specified in the pool is
present. If a filesystem of that type is already present, mkfs is
not executed and the build call returns an error. Otherwise, mkfs
is executed and any data present on the device is overwritten.
If the overwrite flag is specified, mkfs is always executed, and any
existing data on the target device is overwritten unconditionally.
Several users have reported problems with 'virsh start' failing because
it was encountering a managed save situation where the managed save file
was incomplete. Be more robust to this by using two different magic
numbers, so that newer libvirt can gracefully handle an incomplete file
differently than a complete one, while older libvirt will at least fail
up front rather than trying to load only to have qemu fail at the end.
Managed save is a convenience - it exists to preserve as much state
as possible; if the state was not preserved, it is reasonable to just
log that fact, then proceed with a fresh boot. On the other hand,
user saves are under user control, so we must fail, but by making
the failure message distinct, the user can better decide how to handle
the situation of an incomplete save file.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (QEMUD_SAVE_PARTIAL): New define.
(qemuDomainSaveInternal): Use it to mark incomplete images.
(qemuDomainSaveImageOpen, qemuDomainObjRestore): Add parameter
that controls what to do with partial images.
(qemuDomainRestoreFlags, qemuDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc)
(qemuDomainSaveImageDefineXML, qemuDomainObjStart): Update callers.
Based on an initial idea by Osier Yang.
In a SELinux or root-squashing NFS environment, libvirt has to go
through some hoops to create a new file that qemu can then open()
by name. Snapshots are a case where we want to guarantee an empty
file that qemu can open; also, reopening a save file to convert it
from being marked partial to complete requires a reopen to avoid
O_DIRECT headaches. Refactor some existing code to make it easier
to reuse in later patches.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.h (qemuMigrationToFile): Drop parameter.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): Let cgroup do
the stat, rather than asking caller to do it and pass info down.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuOpenFile): New function, pulled from...
(qemuDomainSaveInternal): ...here.
(doCoreDump, qemuDomainSaveImageOpen): Use it here as well.
After supporting multi function pci device, we only reserve function 1 on slot 1.
The user can use the other function on slot 1 in the xml config file. We should
detect this wrong usage.
When libvirtd is running at non-root user, it won't create ${HOME}/.libvirt.
It will show error message:

Currently, the lxc implementation invokes 'ip' and 'ifconfig' commands
inside a container using 'virRun'. That has the side effect of requiring
those commands to be present and to function in a manner consistent with
the usage. Some small roots (such as ttylinux) may not have 'ip' or
'ifconfig'.
This patch replaces the use of these commands with usage of
netdevice. The result is that lxc containers do not have to implement
those commands, and lxc in libvirt is only dependent on the netdevice
interface.
I've tested this patch locally against the ubuntu libvirt version enough
to verify its generally sane. I attempted to build upstream today, but
failed with:
/usr/bin/ld:
../src/.libs/libvirt_driver_qemu.a(libvirt_driver_qemu_la-qemu_domain.o):
undefined reference to symbol 'xmlXPathRegisterNs@@LIBXML2_2.4.30
Thats probably a local issue only, but I wanted to get this patch up and
see what others thought of it. This is ubuntu bug

Hi,
I'm seeing an issue with udev and libvirt-lxc. Libvirt-lxc creates
/dev/ptmx as a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. When udev starts up, it
checks the device type, sees ptmx is 'not right', and replaces it
with a 'proper' ptmx.
In lxc, /dev/ptmx is bind-mounted from /dev/pts/ptmx instead of being
symlinked, so udev sees the right device type and leaves it alone.
A patch like the following seems to work for me. Would there be
any objections to this?

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] make ptmx a bind mount rather than symlink
udev on some systems checks the device type of /dev/ptmx, and replaces it if
not as expected. The symlink created by libvirt-lxc therefore gets replaced.
By creating it as a bind mount, the device type is correct and udev leaves it
alone.

The libvirt BlockPull API supports the use of an initial bandwidth limit but the
qemu block_stream API does not. To get the desired behavior we use the two APIs
strung together: first BlockPull, then BlockJobSetSpeed. We can do this at the
driver level to avoid duplicated code in each monitor path.
Signed-off-by: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com>
Due to an unfortunate precedent in qemu, the units for the bandwidth parameter
to block_job_set_speed are different between the text monitor and the qmp
monitor. While the qmp monitor uses bytes/s, the text monitor expects MB/s.
Correct the units for the text interface.

On systems with many pcpus, the sexpr returned by xend can be quite
large for dom0 when it is configured to have #vcpus = #pcpus (default).
E.g. on a 80 pcpu system, where dom0 had 80 vcpus, the sexpr details
for dom0 was 73817 bytes! Increase maximum buffer size to 256k.
xenDaemonDomainFetch() was overwriting errors reported by
xend_get() and xend_req(). E.g. without patch
error: failed Xen syscall xenDaemonDomainFetch failed to find this domain
with patch
error: internal error Xend returned HTTP Content-Length of 73817, which exceeds
maximum of 65536
The 'virsh man' description of send-key was incomplete and used the
old style (literal 'optional name' instead of '[name]' metasyntax).

I moved it out of virsh help and into the man page.

Managed save was added in 0.8.0, virDomainCreateWithFlags in 0.8.2,
and FORCE_BOOT in 0.9.5. The virsh flag is more useful if we
emulate it for all older servers (note that if a hypervisor fails
the query for a managed save image, then it does not have one to
be removed, so the flag can be safely ignored).

Commit 2c85644b0b attempted to
fix a problem with tracking RPC messages from streams by doing
- if (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_REPLY) {
+ if (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_REPLY ||
+ (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_STREAM &&
+ msg->header.status != VIR_NET_CONTINUE)) {
client->nrequests--;
In other words any stream packet, with status NET_OK or NET_ERROR
would cause nrequests to be decremented. This is great if the
packet from from a synchronous virStreamFinish or virStreamAbort
API call, but wildly wrong if from a server initiated abort.
The latter resulted in 'nrequests' being decremented below zero.
This then causes all I/O for that client to be stopped.
Instead of trying to infer whether we need to decrement the
nrequests field, from the message type/status, introduce an
explicit 'bool tracked' field to mark whether the virNetMessagePtr
object is subject to tracking.
Also add a virNetMessageClear function to allow a message
contents to be cleared out, without adversely impacting the
'tracked' field as a naive memset() would do
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h: Add
a 'bool tracked' field and virNetMessageClear() API
* daemon/remote.c, daemon/stream.c, src/rpc/virnetclientprogram.c,
src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c,
src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.c: Switch over to use
virNetMessageClear() and pass in the 'bool tracked' value
when creating messages.
When sending outbound stream RPC messages, a callback is
used to re-enable stream data transmission. If the stream
aborts while one of these messages is outstanding, the
stream may have been free'd by the time it is invoked. This
results in a use-after-free error
* daemon/stream.c: Ref-count streams to avoid use-after-free
Parted does not report disk size in 512 byte units, but

Introduced by 5e495c8b, except the ones for checking if numa
is supported by host, all the NO_SUPPORT are changed back. For
the ones about numa checking, change them into INTERNAL_ERROR.
If the libxl driver is compiled in, then everytime libvirtd
starts up on a non-Xen Dom0 host, it logs a error message.
Since this is an expected condition, we should not log at
'error' level, only 'info'.
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: Lower log level for certain
expected errors during driver init
When dispatching domain events we will create an XDR struct
containing the event info. Some of this data may be allocated
on the heap and so must be freed. The graphics event dispatcher
had a broken attempt to free one field, but missed others. All
the events have a dom->name string that needs freeing. The code
should have used the xdr_free() procedure for doing all this
* daemon/remote.c: Use xdr_free after dispatching events
It is possible (expected/likely in Fedora 15) for a cgroup controller
to be mounted in multiple locations at the same time, due to bind
mounts. Currently we leak memory if this happens, because we overwrite
the previous 'mountPoint' string. Instead just accept the first match
we find.

controller mount
The virSecurityManagerSetProcessFDLabel method was introduced

It is not possible to change the label of a TCP socket once it

There is no reason to forbid pausing an autodestroy domain
(not to mention that 'virsh start --paused --autodestroy'
succeeds in creating a paused autodestroy domain).
Meanwhile, qemu was failing to enforce the API documentation that
autodestroy domains cannot be saved. And while the original
documentation only mentioned save/restore, snapshots are another
form of saving that are close enough in semantics as to make no
sense on one-shot domains.
