This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:
<interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
</interface>
This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.
NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.
Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:
<interface type='hostdev'>
<source>
<address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
</interface>
If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:
<interface type='hostdev'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x0012'/>
<product id='0x24dd'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
</interface>
Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).
Three new functions useful in other files:
virDomainHostdevInsert:
Add a new hostdev at the end of the array. This would more sensibly be
called virDomainHostdevAppend, but the existing functions for other
types of devices are called Insert.
virDomainHostdevRemove:
Eliminates one entry from the hostdevs array, but doesn't free it;
patterned after the code at the end of the two
qemuDomainDetachHostXXXDevice functions (and also other pre-existing
virDomainXXXRemove functions for other device types).
virDomainHostdevFind:
This function is patterned from the search loops at the top of
qemuDomainDetachHostPciDevice and qemuDomainDetachHostUsbDevice, and
will be used to re-factor those (and other detach-related) functions.
The parent can be any type of device. It defaults to type=none, and a
NULL pointer. The intent is that if a hostdevdef is contained in the
def for a higher level device (e.g. virDomainNetDef), hostdev->parent
will point to the higher level device, and type will be set to that
type of device. This way, during attach and detach of the device,
parent can be checked, and appropriate callouts made to do higher
level device initialization (e.g. setting MAC address).
Also, although these hostdevs with parents will be added to a domain's
hostdevs list, they will be treated slightly differently when
traversing the list, e.g. virDomainHostdefDefFree for a hostdev that
has a parent doesn't need to be called (and will be a NOP); it will
simply be removed from the list (since the parent device object is in
its own type-specific list, and will be freed from there).
In an upcoming patch, virDomainNetDef will acquire a
virDomainHostdevDef, and the <interface> XML will take on some of the
elements of a <hostdev>. To avoid duplicating the code for parsing and
formatting the <source> element (which will be nearly identical in
these two cases), this patch factors those parts out of the
HostdevDef's parse and format functions, and puts them into separate
helper functions that are now called by the HostdevDef
parser/formatter, and will soon be called by the NetDef
parser/formatter.
One change in behavior - previously virDomainHostdevDefParseXML() had
diverged from current common coding practice by logging an error and
failing if it found any subelements of <hostdev> other than those it
understood (standard libvirt practice is to ignore/discard unknown
elements and attributes during parse). The new helper function ignores
unknown elements, and thus so does the new
virDomainHostdevDefParseXML.
In order to allow for a virDomainHostdevDef that uses the
virDomainDeviceInfo of a "higher level" device (such as a
virDomainNetDef), this patch changes the virDomainDeviceInfo in the
HostdevDef into a virDomainDeviceInfoPtr. Rather than adding checks
all over the code to check for a null info, we just guarantee that it
is always valid. The new function virDomainHostdevDefAlloc() allocates
a virDomainDeviceInfo and plugs it in, and virDomainHostdevDefFree()
makes sure it is freed.
There were 4 places allocating virDomainHostdevDefs, all of them
parsers of one sort or another, and those have all had their
VIR_ALLOC(hostdev) changed to virDomainHostdevDefAlloc(). Other than
that, and the new functions, all the rest of the changes are just
mechanical removals of "&" or changing "." to "->".
There will be cases where the iterator callback will need to know the
type of the device whose info is being operated on, and possibly even
need to use some of the device's config. This patch adds a
virDomainDeviceDefPtr to the args of every callback, and fills it in
appropriately as the devices are iterated through.
Not all device types were represented in virDomainDeviceType, so some
types of devices couldn't be represented in a virDomainDeviceDef
(which requires a different type of pointer in the union for each
different kind of device).
Since serial, parallel, channel, and console devices are all
virDomainChrDef, and the virDomainDeviceType is never used to produce
a string from the type (and only used in the other direction
internally to code, never to produce XML), I only added one "CHR"
type, which is associated with "virDomainChrDefPtr chr" in the union.

This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>

<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'

It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:

<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'

Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB

Security label type 'none' requires relabel to be set to 'no' so there's
no reason to output this extra attribute. Moreover, since relabel is
internally stored in a negative from (norelabel), the default value for
relabel would be 'yes' in case there is no <seclabel> element in domain
configuration. In case VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_DEFAULT turns into
VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_NONE, we would incorrectly output relabel='yes' for
seclabel type 'none'.
Commit b170eb99 introduced a bug: domains that had an explicit
<seclabel type='none'/> when started would not be reparsed if
libvirtd restarted. It turns out that our testsuite was not
exercising this because it never tried anything but inactive
parsing. Additionally, the live XML for such a domain failed
to re-validate. Applying just the tests/ portion of this patch

This eliminates the warning message reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624447
It was caused by a failure to open an image file that is not
accessible by root (the uid libvirtd is running as) because it's on a
root-squash NFS share, owned by a different user, with permissions of
660 (or maybe 600).
The solution is to use virFileOpenAs() rather than open(). The
codepath that generates the error is during qemuSetupDiskCGroup(), but
the actual open() is in a lower-level generic function called from
many places (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath), so some other pieces of the
code were touched just to add dummy (or possibly useful) uid and gid
arguments.
Eliminating this warning message has the nice side effect that the
requested operation may even succeed (which in this case isn't
necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything either).

Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.
With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.
This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement
security_default_confined = 1|0 (default == 1)

This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562
Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).
One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.
In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:
<hostdev>
...
<rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
...
</hostdev
(similarly for <interface>).
When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.
After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).
Since these two items are now in the virDomainDeviceInfo struct, it
makes sense to parse/format them in the functions written to
parse/format that structure. Not all types of devices allow them, so
two internal flags are added to indicate when it is appropriate to do
so.
I was lucky - only one test case needed to be re-ordered!
To help consolidate the commonality between virDomainHostdevDef and
virDomainNetDef into as few members as possible (and because I
think it makes sense), this patch moves the rombar and bootIndex
members into the "info" member that is common to both (and to all the
other structs that use them).
It's a bit problematic that this gives rombar and bootIndex to many
device types that don't use them, but this is already the case for the
master and mastertype members of virDomainDeviceInfo, and is properly
commented as such in the definition.
Note that this opens the door to supporting rombar for other devices
that are attached to the guest PCI bus - virtio-blk-pci,
virtio-net-pci, various other network adapters - which which have that
capability in qemu, but previously had no support in libvirt.

There are several reasons for doing this:
- the CPU specification is out of libvirt's control so we cannot
guarantee stable guest ABI
- not every feature of a CPU may actually work as expected when
advertised directly to a guest
- migration between two machines with exactly the same CPU may work but
no guarantees can be made
- this mode is not supported and its use is at one's own risk
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
Earlier, when the number of vcpus was greater than the topology allowed,
libvirt didn't raise an error and continued, resulting in running qemu
with parameters making no sense. Even though qemu did not report any
error itself, the number of vcpus was set to maximum allowed by the
topology.
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to

Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638633
Although scripts are not used by interfaces of type other than
"ethernet" in qemu, due to the fact that the parser stores the script
name in a union that is only valid when type is ethernet or bridge,
there is no way for anyone except the parser itself to catch the
problem of specifying an interface script for an inappropriate
interface type (by the time the parsed data gets back to the code that
called the parser, all evidence that a script was specified is
forgotten).
Since the parser itself should be agnostic to which type of interface
allows scripts (an example of why: a script specified for an interface
of type bridge is valid for xen domains, but not for qemu domains),
the solution here is to move the script out of the union(s) in the
DomainNetDef, always populate it when specified (regardless of
interface type), and let the driver decide whether or not it is
appropriate.
Currently the qemu, xen, libxml, and uml drivers recognize the script
parameter and do something with it (the uml driver only to report that
it isn't supported). Those drivers have been updated to log a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error when a script is specified for an interface
type that's inappropriate for that particular hypervisor.
(NB: There was earlier discussion of solving this problem by adding a
VALIDATE flag to all libvirt APIs that accept XML, which would cause
the XML to be validated against the RNG files. One statement during
that discussion was that the RNG shouldn't contain hypervisor-specific
things, though, and a proper solution to this problem would require
that (again, because a script for an interface of type "bridge" is
accepted by xen, but not by qemu).
