Added a workable initial page for the libvirt Application
Development Guide, giving the online viewable options +
the available download ones (pdf, epub, srpm).
Added a link to the PDF to the main Downloads page, plus
neatened the html tags throughout the page as they
were a bit of a mess.
Added --enable-compile-warnings=error to the autogen line,
as suggested by Eric Blake.
The current code will go into an infinite loop if the printf generated
string is >= 1000, AND exactly 1 character smaller than the amount of free
space in the buffer. When this happens, we are dropped into the loop body,
but nothing will actually change, because count == (buf->size - buf->use - 1),
and virBufferGrow returns unchanged if count < (buf->size - buf->use)
Fix this by removing the '- 1' bit from 'size'. The *nprintf functions handle
the NULL byte for us anyways, so we shouldn't need to manually accommodate
for it.
Here's a bug where we are actually hitting this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602772
v2: Eric's improvements: while -> if (), remove extra va_list variable,
make sure we report buffer error if snprintf fails
v3: Add tests/virbuftest which reproduces the infinite loop before this
patch, works correctly after
Apparently the xen block device statistics moved from
"/sys/devices/xen-backend/vbd-%d-%d/statistics/%s"
to
"/sys/bus/xen-backend/devices/vbd-%d-%d/statistics/%s"
* src/xen/block_stats.c: try the extra path in case of failure to
find the statistics in /sys
Unless --driver tap|file option was given to attach-disk, virsh would
generate <disk type='block'> XML which might be fine for Xen but not for
other hypervisors. This patch introduces a new option --sourcetype which
can be used to explicitly set the type of disk source. The option
accepts either "file" or "block" types.
Very occasionally during a parallel make, dispatch.c would
be compiled before the generated remote headers had been
fully written. This would cause it to compile an empty
union, and result in really wierd runtime bugs that are
near impossible to diagnose.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Fix remote build deps
If the remote daemon args/ret unions ever become zero length
(due to a build / Makefile bug) then bad stuff happens at
runtime. Add a compile time assertion to check for this kind
of problem
* daemon/remote.h: Ensure non-zero length unions
A QEMU guest can have upto VIR_DOMAIN_BOOT_LAST boot entries
defined. When building the QEMU arg, each entry takes a
single byte. This means the array must be declared to be
VIR_DOMAIN_BOOT_LAST+1 bytes in length to allow for the
trailing null
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Fix off-by-1 boot arg array size
For static-only DHCP, i.e. with no <range> but at least one <host>
element within <dhcp> element, we have to add "--dhcp-range IP,static"
option to dnsmasq to actually enable the service. Without this option,
dnsmasq will not respond to DHCP requests.
QMP in QEMU 0.13 has been fixed to enforce type correctness,
this means that boolean types must be true or false, not
integers.

Before this commit SessionIsActive was not used because ESX(i)
doesn't implement it. vCenter supports SessionIsActive, so use
it here, but keep the fall back mechanism for ESX(i) and GSX.
QueryVirtualDiskUuid is only available on an ESX(i) server. vCenter
returns an NotImplemented fault and a GSX server is missing the
VirtualDiskManager completely. Therefore only use QueryVirtualDiskUuid
with an ESX(i) server and fall back to path as storage volume key for
vCenter and GSX server.
VirtualDisks are .vmdk file based. Other files in a datastore
like .iso or .flp files don't have a UUID attached, fall back
to the path as key for them.
This patch adds support for ethernet interface type to OpenVZ domains
as stated in this previous message: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-
list/2010-July/msg00658.html
Instead of splitting the path part of a datastore path into
directory and file name, keep this in one piece. An example:
"[datastore] directory/file"
was split into this before:
datastoreName = "datastore"
directoryName = "directory"
fileName = "file"
Now it's split into this:
datastoreName = "datastore"
directoryName = "directory"
directoryAndFileName = "directory/file"
This simplifies code using esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath, because
directoryAndFileName is used more often than fileName. Also the
old approach expected the datastore path to reference an actual
file, but this isn't always correct, especially when listing
volumes. In that case esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath is used to parse
a path that references a directory. This fails for a vpx://
connection because the vCenter returns directory paths with a
trailing '/'. The new approach is robust against this and the
actual decision if the datastore path should reference a file or
a directory is up to the caller of esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath.
Update the tests accordingly.
snprintf is currently implicitly picked up by getaddrinfo, but we
might as well make it explicit so that mingw doesn't break if
getaddrinfo changes to drop the dependency.
func doesn't matter for gcc compilation, but may help other compilers
cope with our use of __func__.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add snprintf and func.
Virsh shouldn't check for driver support but rather let the backend handled this.
After removing the check, I can successfully attach file-based images to a qemu
VM with attach-disk.
% virsh attach-disk vm2 /images/test02.img vdc --driver qemu --type disk --subdriver raw
Disk attached successfully
This command generates the following XML:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/images/test02.img'/>
<target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk2'/>

For privileged UML connections (uml:///system), we shouldn't use root's
home dir, but rather somewhere in /var/run/libvirt/uml-guest.

uml_dir overrides user-mode-linux's default of ~/.uml. This is needed
for a couple of different reasons:
libvirt expects this to default to virGetUserDirectory(geteuid()) +
'/.uml'. However, user-mode-linux actually uses the HOME environment
variable to determine where to look for the uml sockets, but if running
libvirtd under sudo (which I routinely do during development), $HOME is
pointing at my user's homedir, while my euid is 0, so libvirt looks in
/root.
Also (and this was my actual motivation for this patch), if HOME isn't
set at all, user-mode-linux utterly fails. Looking at the code, it seems
it's meant to emit a warning, but alas, it doesn't for some reason.
If running libvirtd from upstart, HOME is not set, so any system using
upstart will need this change.

Xen4.0 includes a new blktap2 implementation, which is specified
with 'tap2' prefix. AFAICT it's configuration syntax is identical
to blktap, with exception of 'tap2' vs 'tap' prefix. This patch
takes the simple approach of accepting and generating sexp
containing 'tap2' prefix.
When creating a new domain from XML, the check for an existing
domain name should compare the return of the function to a valid
LPAR ID (!= -1) and not to error (== -1).
The check was altered in 8c48743b97
and got too strict, I've no clue how that snuck in. This check
makes every try to open a connection using the ESX driver fail
with an invalid argument error.
Revert the change to the check and add a comment to prevent future
mistakes with this check.
Since libvirt-guests init script and its configuration do not require
libvirtd to be running/installed, it was a bad idea to put them into
daemon directory. libvirt.spec even includes these files in
libvirt-client subpackage, which may result in build failure for
client-only builds when the whole daemon directory is just skipped.
UML supports hot plugging and unplugging of various devices. This patch
exposes this functionality for disks.

Other drivers will need this same functionality, so move it to up to
conf/domain_conf.c and give it a more general name.
