Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase. That is, given:
base <- intermediate <- current
virDomainBlockPull will produce:
current
but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:
base <- current
Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags. But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:
Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.
Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.

This API allows a domain to be put into one of S# ACPI states.
Currently, S3 and S4 are supported. These states are shared
with virNodeSuspendForDuration.
However, for now we don't support any duration other than zero.
The same apply for flags.
The RPC generator transforms methods matching certain
patterns like 'id' or 'uuid', etc but does not anchor
its matches to the end of the word. So if a method
contains 'id' in the middle (eg virIdentity) then the
RPC generator munges that.
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Anchor matches

If client stream does not have any data to sink and neither received
EOF, a dummy packet is sent to the daemon signalising client is ready to
sink some data. However, after we added event loop to client a race may
occur:
Thread 1 calls virNetClientStreamRecvPacket and since no data are cached
nor stream has EOF, it decides to send dummy packet to server which will
sent some data in turn. However, during this decision and actual message
exchange with server -
Thread 2 receives last stream data from server. Therefore an EOF is set
on stream and if there is a call waiting (which is not yet) it is woken
up. However, Thread 1 haven't sent anything so far, so there is no call
to be woken up. So this thread sent dummy packet to daemon, which
ignores that as no stream is associated with such packet and therefore
no reply will ever come.
This race causes client to hang indefinitely.
The RPC code had several latent memory leaks and an attempt to
free the wrong string, but thankfully nothing triggered them
(blkiotune was the only one returning a string, and always as
the last parameter). Also, our cleanups for rpcgen ended up
nuking a line of code that renders VIR_TYPED_PARAM_INT broken,
because it was the only use of 'i' in a function, even though
it was a member usage rather than a standalone declaration.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteSerializeTypedParameters): Free the
correct array element.
(remoteDispatchDomainGetSchedulerParameters)
(remoteDispatchDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags)
(remoteDispatchDomainBlockStatsFlags)
(remoteDispatchDomainGetMemoryParameters): Don't leak strings.
* src/rpc/genprotocol.pl: Don't nuke member-usage of 'buf' or 'i'.
When one thread passes the buck to another thread, it uses
virCondSignal to wake up the target thread. The variable
'haveTheBuck' is not updated in a race-free manner when
this occurs. The current thread sets it to false, and the
woken up thread sets it to true. There is a window where
a 3rd thread can come in and grab the buck.
Even if this didn't lead to crashes & deadlocks, this would
still result in unfairness in the buckpassing algorithm.
A better solution is to *never* set haveTheBuck to false
when we're passing the buck. Only set it to false when there
is no further thread waiting for the buck.
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Only set haveTheBuck to false
if no thread is waiting

Currently if you try to connect to a local libvirtd when
libvirtd is not in $PATH, you'll get an error
error: internal error invalid use of command API
This is because remoteFindDaemonPath() returns NULL, which

in turn causes us to pass NULL into virCommandNewArgList.
Adding missing error checks improves this to

Originaly, the code checked if another client is the queue and infered
ownership of the buck from that. Commit fa9595003d
added a separate variable to track the buck. That caused, that a new
call might enter claiming it has the buck, while another thread was
signalled to take the buck. This ends in two threads claiming they hold
the buck and entering poll(). This happens due to a race on waking up
threads on the client lock mutex.
This caused multi-threaded clients to hang, most prominently visible and
reproducible on python based clients, like virt-manager.
This patch causes threads, that have been signalled to take the buck to
re-check if buck is held by another thread.

When another thread was dispatching while we wanted to send a
non-blocking call, we correctly queued the call and woke up the thread
but the thread just threw the call away since it forgot to recheck if
its socket was writable.
When spawning an ssh connection, the environment variables
DISPLAY, SSH_ASKPASS, ... are passed. However XAUTHORITY,

The keepalive program has two procedures: PING, and PONG.
Both are used only in asynchronous messages and the sender doesn't wait
for any reply. However, the party which receives PING messages is
supposed to react by sending PONG message the other party, but no
explicit binding between PING and PONG messages is made. For backward
compatibility neither server nor client are allowed to send keepalive
messages before checking that remote party supports them.
When virNetClientIOEventLoop is called for a non-blocking call and not
even a single byte can be sent from this call without blocking, we
properly reported that to the caller which properly frees the call. But
we never removed the call from a call queue.
Due to the asynchronous nature of streams, we might continue to
receive some stream packets from the server even after we have
shutdown the stream on the client side. These should be discarded
silently, rather than raising an error in the RPC layer.
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Discard stream data silently
Add a new virNetClientSendNonBlock which returns 2 on
full send, 1 on partial send, 0 on no send, -1 on error

I/O.

to speed up completion of partial sends if an event loop
is present.

Send and receive string typed parameters across RPC. This also
completes the back-compat mentioned in the previous patch - the

if RPC is in use, so filtering out strings during RPC prevents

The code calling sendfd/recvfd was mistakenly assuming those
calls would never block. They can in fact return EAGAIN and
this is causing us to drop the client connection when blocking
ocurrs while sending/receiving FDs.
Fixing this is a little hairy on the incoming side, since at
the point where we see the EAGAIN, we already thought we had
finished receiving all data for the packet. So we play a little
trick to reset bufferOffset again and go back into polling for
more data.

Turns out that we were sometimes generating the remote_protocol.c

If daemon is using SASL it reads client data into a cache. This cache is
big (usually 65KB) and can thus contain 2 or more messages. However,
on socket event we can dispatch only one message. So if we read two
messages at once, the second will not be dispatched as the socket event
goes away with filling the cache.
Moreover, when dispatching the cache we need to remember to take care
of client max requests limit.

The libvirtd daemon had a few crude system tap probes. Some of
these were broken during the RPC rewrite. The new modular RPC
code is structured in a way that allows much more effective
tracing. Instead of trying to hook up the original probes,
define a new set of probes for the RPC and event code.
The master probes file is now src/probes.d. This contains
probes for virNetServerClientPtr, virNetClientPtr, virSocketPtr
virNetTLSContextPtr and virNetTLSSessionPtr modules. Also add
probes for the poll event loop.
The src/dtrace2systemtap.pl script can convert the probes.d
file into a libvirt_probes.stp file to make use from systemtap
much simpler.
The src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl script can generate a set of
systemtap functions for translating RPC enum values into
printable strings. This works for all RPC header enums (program,
type, status, procedure) and also the authentication enum
The PROBE macro will automatically generate a VIR_DEBUG
statement, so any place with a PROBE can remove any existing
