While investigating https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1061827
I noticed that we pass user input unscathed for block-pull, but
always pass a canonical absolute name through for block-commit.
[Note that we probably _ought_ to validate that the user's request
for block-pull actually matches the backing chain, the way we already
do for block-commit - but that's a separate issue. Further note that
the ability to pass user input through unscathed allows backdoors
such as specifying a backing image that is a network URI such as
a gluster disk, instead of forcing things to the local file system;
which is an area still under active investigation on whether libvirt
needs to behave differently for network disks.]
Since qemu may write the name that the user passed in as the backing
file, a user may have a reason to want a relative file name passed
through to qemu, and always munging things to absolute prevents that.
Put another way, if you have the backing chain:
[A] <- [B(back=./A)] <- [C(back=./B)]
and commit B into A (virsh blockcommit $dom vda --base A --top B),
the metadata of C will have to be re-written. But should it be
rewritten as [C(back=./A)] or as [C(back=/path/to/A)]? Still up in
the air is whether qemu's decision should be based on whether B
and/or C had relative paths, or on whether the --base and/or
--top arguments to the command were relative paths; but if we always
pass a canonical name, we've prevented the spelling of the command
arguments from being part of the hueristics that qemu uses.
I also audited the code, and verified that we never call
qemuMonitorBlockCommit() with a NULL base, either before or after
the change to qemu_driver.c.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Preserve user's
spelling, since absolute vs. relative matters to qemu.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (qemuMonitorBlockCommit): Base is never
null.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorBlockCommit): Likewise.

Likewise.

Commit b9dd878f caused a regression in iptables interaction by
logging non-zero status at a higher level than VIR_INFO. Revert
that portion of the commit, as well as adding a comment explaining
why we check the status ourselves.

Supporting sexpr in connectDomainXMLFromNative in the libxl driver
adds flexibility for users importing legacy Xen configuration into
libvirt. E.g. this patch allows importing previous xend-managed
domains from /var/lib/xend/domains/<dom-uuid>/config.sxp into the
libvirt libxl driver.

Found one core and one possible memory leak. Core seen during local
virt-test/tp_libvirt run for the vol_create_from test. The memory leak
was seen by inspection during a review of all VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT changes
In storage_backend_disk/virStorageBackendDiskMakeDataVol(), the 'vol'
needs to be kept around since it's used later, so use the _COPY macro.
This caused a segv in libvirtd:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fffe87c3700 (LWP 6919)]
virStorageBackendDiskMakeDataVol (vol=0x0, groups=0x7fffc8000d70, pool=0x7fffc8002460) at storage/storage_backend_disk.c:66
66 if (vol->target.path == NULL) {
In storage_backend_rbd/virStorageBackendRBDRefreshPool() there's a failure
path where the 'vol' needs to go through virStorageVolDefFree() since it
wouldn't be appended.
The qemu_bridge_filter.c file had some helpers for calling
the ebtablesXXX functions todo bridge filtering. The only
thing these helpers did was to overwrite the original error
message from the ebtables code. For added fun, the callers
of these helpers overwrote the errors yet again. For even
more fun, one of the helpers called another helper and
overwrite its errors too.

When adding/removing ebtables rules, the code would keep
an array of all rules in memory. This list of rules was

The ebtablesForwardPolicyReject method is only used internally

The bridge_driver_platform.h defines many functions that

Extracting capabilities from QEMU takes a notable amount of time
when all QEMU binaries are installed. Each system emulator
needs about 200-300ms multiplied by 26 binaries == ~5-8 seconds.
This change causes the QEMU driver to save an XML file containing
the content of the virQEMUCaps object instance in the cache
dir eg /var/cache/libvirt/qemu/capabilities/$SHA256(binarypath).xml
or $HOME/.cache/libvirt/qemu/cache/capabilities/$SHA256(binarypath).xml
We attempt to load this and only if it fails, do we fallback to
probing the QEMU binary. The ctime of the QEMU binary and libvirtd
are stored in the cached file and its data discarded if either
of them change.

Debian's package manager will preserve mtime timestamp on binaries
from the time they are built, rather than installed. So if a
user downgrades their QEMU dpkg, the libvirt capabilities
cache will not refresh. The fix is to use ctime instead of mtime
since it cannot be faked.

The future QEMU capabilities cache needs to be able to invalidate
itself if the libvirtd binary or any loadable modules are changed
on disk. Record the 'ctime' value for these binaries and provide
helper APIs to query it. This approach assumes that if libvirt.so
is changed, then libvirtd will also change, which should usually
be the case with libtool's wrapper scripts that cause libvirtd to
get re-linked

GNULIB provides APIs for calculating md5 and sha256 hashes,
but these APIs only return you raw byte arrays. Most users
in libvirt want the hash in printable string format. Add
some helper APIs in util/vircrypto.{c,h} for doing this.

This fixes a possible double free. In virNetworkAssignDef() if
virBitmapNew() fails, then virNetworkObjFree(network) is called.
However, with network->def pointing to actual @def. So if caller
frees @def again, ...
Moreover, this fixes one possible memory leak too. In
virInterfaceAssignDef() if appending to the list of interfaces
fails, we ought to call virInterfaceObjFree() instead of bare
VIR_FREE().
Although, in order to do that some array size variables needs
to be turned into size_t rather than int.

The nwfilter conf update mutex previously serialized
updates to the internal data structures for firewall
rules, and updates to the firewall itself. The latter
was recently turned into a read/write lock, and filter
instantiation allowed to proceed in parallel. It was
believed that this was ok, since each filter is created
on a separate iptables/ebtables chain.
It turns out that there is a subtle lock ordering problem
on virNWFilterObjPtr instances. __virNWFilterInstantiateFilter
will hold a lock on the virNWFilterObjPtr it is instantiating.
This in turn invokes virNWFilterInstantiate which then invokes
virNWFilterDetermineMissingVarsRec which then invokes
virNWFilterObjFindByName. This iterates over every single
virNWFilterObjPtr in the list, locking them and checking their
name. So if 2 or more threads try to instantiate a filter in
parallel, they'll all hold 1 lock at the top level in the
__virNWFilterInstantiateFilter method which will cause the
other thread to deadlock in virNWFilterObjFindByName.
The fix is to add an exclusive mutex to serialize the
execution of __virNWFilterInstantiateFilter.

When domain is started with setting that cannot be done, i.e. those
that require cgroups, there is no error reported and it succeeds
without any message whatsoever.
When setting with API, virsh, an error is reported, but only due to
the fact that no cgroups are mounted (priv->cgroup == NULL).
Given the above it seems reasonable to reject such unsupported
settings.
This patch effectively changes the error message from:
$ virsh -c qemu:///session schedinfo dummy
Scheduler : Unknown
error: Requested operation is not valid: cgroup CPU controller is not mounted
to:
$ virsh -c qemu:///session schedinfo dummy
Scheduler : Unknown
error: Operation not supported: CPU tuning is not available in session mode

The qemuMonitorJSONBlockJob handles a few errors internally. If qemu
returns a different error we would report a rather unhelpful message:
$ virsh blockpull gluster-job vda --base /dev/null
error: internal error: Unexpected error
As the actual message from qemu contains a bit more info, let's use it
to report something a little more useful:
$ virsh blockpull gluster-job vda --base /dev/null
error: internal error: Unexpected error: (GenericError) 'Base '/dev/null' not found'
In storageVolLookupByPath the provided path is "sanitized" at first.
This removes some extra slashes and stuff. When the lookup of the volume
fails the original path is used which makes it hard to trace errors in
some cases.
Improve the error message to print the sanitized path along with the
user provided path if they are not equal.
When looking up a volume by path on a non-local filesystem don't use the
"cleaned" path that might be mangled in such a way that it will differ
from a path provided by a storage backend.
Skip the cleanup step for gluster, sheepdog and RBD.
Pools that are not backed by files in the filesystem cause problems with
some APIs. Error out when attempting to upload a volume in such a pool
as currently we expect a local file representation for it.
use_apparmor() was first designed to be called from withing libvirtd,
but libvirt_lxc also uses it. in libvirt_lxc, there is no need to check
whether to use apparmor or not: just use it if possible.
In qemuMonitorJSONExtractCPUInfo an error message hinted on missing
character device data which is wrong.
Also a comment states that only qemu-kvm tree includes the thread_id
field. This is no longer true.
