Now that we have @flags we can support changing perf events just
in active or inactive configuration regardless of the other.
Previously, calling virDomainSetPerfEvents set events in both
active and inactive configuration at once. Even though we allow
users to set perf events that are to be enabled once domain is
started up. The virDomainGetPerfEvents API was flawed too. It
returned just runtime info.

Some hypervisors (namely qemu) can have a separate connecton for
non-shared disks migration of active domains. Currently we have
no means to control the port of such a connection. At the same
time we have options to control port of memory migration traffic
(thru migration uri) as well as interfaces that target server
is bound to for incoming migration (thru VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_LISTEN_ADDRESS).
Let's add the option for setting disks port too.

This new algorithm adds support for wiping volumes using TRIM.
It does not overwrite all the data in a volume, but it tells the
backing storage pool/driver that all bytes in a volume can be
discarded.
It depends on the backing storage pool how this is handled.
A SCSI backend might send UNMAP commands to remove all data present
on a LUN.
A Ceph backend might use rbd_discard() to instruct the Ceph cluster
that all data on that RBD volume can be discarded.

Commit id '3c7590e0a' added the flag to the rbd backend, but provided
no means via virsh to use the flag. This patch adds a '--delete-snapshots'
option to both the "undefine" and "vol-delete" commands.
For "undefine", the flag is combined with the "--remove-all-storage" flag
in order to add the appropriate flag for the virStorageVolDelete call;
whereas, for the "vol-delete" command, just the flag is sufficient since
it's only operating on one volume.
Currently only supported for rbd backends.

In the pre-NUMA ages pinning a vCPU to all pCPUs was eaqual to deleting
the pinning info. Now it does not entirely work that way. Pinning a vCPU
to all pCPUs might be a desired operation. Additionally removal of the
pinning will result into using the default pinning information at the
next boot which might be different from all vcpus.
This patch removes the false assumption that we should remove the
pinning after pinning to all vCPUs and tweaks the documentation for
virsh.
A later patch will implement a new flag for the virDomainPinVcpuFlags
API that will allow to remove the pinning in a sane way.
The --maximum option wasn't properly parsed and the equivalent flag
wasn't set. Fix this bug and also rewrite the way we check this option
by using new macro. The new approach is that --maximum requires
--config, no other combination is allowed, because they don't make sense.

This patch introduces access to allocation information about
a backing chain of a live domain. While querying storage
volumes for read-only disks could provide some of the details,
we do NOT want to read() a file while qemu is writing it.
Also, there is one case where we have to rely on qemu: when
doing a block commit into a backing file, where that file is
stored in qcow2 format on a host block device, we want to know
the current highest write offset into that image, in order to
know if the disk must be resized larger. qemu-img does not
(currently) show this information, and none of the earlier
block APIs were extensible enough to expose it. But
virDomainListGetStats is perfect for the job!
We don't need a new group of statistics, as the existing block
group is sufficient. On the other hand, as existing libvirt
releases already report 1:1 mapping of block.count to <disk>
devices, changing the array size could confuse older clients;
and even with newer clients, the time and memory taken to
report additional statistics is not always necessary (backing
files are generally read-only except for block-commit, so while
read statistics may change, sizing statistics will not). So
the choice here is to add a new flag that only newer callers
will pass, when they are prepared for the additional information.
This patch introduces the new API, but it will take more
patches to get it implemented for qemu.

Total time of a migration and total downtime transfered from a source to
a destination host do not count with the transfer time to the
destination host and with the time elapsed before guest CPUs are
resumed. Thus, source libvirtd remembers when migration started and when
guest CPUs were paused. Both timestamps are transferred to destination
libvirtd which uses them to compute total migration time and total
downtime. Obviously, this requires the time to be synchronized between
the two hosts. The reported times are useless otherwise but they would
be equally useless if we didn't do this recomputation so don't lose

Expose the new power of virDomainBlockCopy through virsh (well,
all but the finer-grained bandwidth, as that is its own can of
worms for a later patch). Continue to use the older API where
possible, for maximum compatibility.
The command now requires either --dest (with optional --format
and --blockdev), to directly describe the file destination, or
--xml, to name a file that contains an XML description such as:
<disk type='network'>
<driver type='raw'/>
<source protocol='gluster' name='vol1/img'>
<host name='red'/>
</source>
</disk>
[well, it may be a while before the qemu driver is actually patched
to act on that particular xml beyond just parsing it, but the virsh
interface won't need changing at that time]
Non-zero option parameters are converted into virTypedParameters,
and if anything requires the new API, the command can synthesize
appropriate XML even if the --dest option was used instead of --xml.
The existing --raw flag remains for back-compat, but the preferred
spelling is now --format=raw, since the new API now allows us
to specify all formats rather than just a boolean raw to suppress
probing.
I hope I did justice in describing the effects of granularity and
buf-size on how they get passed through to qemu.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCopy): Add new options --xml,
--granularity, --buf-size, --format. Make --raw an alias for
--format=raw. Call new API if new parameters are in use.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcopy): Document new options.

To date, anyone performing a block copy and pivot ends up with
the destination being treated as <disk type='file'>. While this
works for data access for a block device, it has at least one
noticeable shortcoming: virDomainGetBlockInfo() reports allocation
differently for block devices visited as files (the size of the
device) than for block devices visited as <disk type='block'>
(the maximum sector used, as reported by qemu); and this difference
is significant when trying to manage qcow2 format on block devices
that can be grown as needed.
Of course, the more powerful virDomainBlockCopy() API can already
express the ability to set the <disk> type. But a new API can't
be backported, while a new flag to an existing API can; and it is
also rather inconvenient to have to resort to the full power of
generating XML when just adding a flag to the older call will do
the trick. So this patch enhances blockcopy to let the user flag
when the resulting XML after the copy must list the device as
type='block'.

Expose the new flag just added to virDomainGetBlockJobInfo.
With --raw, the presence or absence of --bytes determines which
flag to use in the single API call. Without --raw, the use of
--bytes forces an error if the server doesn't support it,
otherwise, the code tries to silently fall back to scaling the
MiB/s value.
My goal is to eventually also support --bytes in bandwidth mode;
but that's a bit further down the road (and needs a new API flag
added in libvirt.h first).
This changes the human output, but the previous patch added
raw output precisely so that we can have flexibility with the
human output. For this commit, I used qemu-monitor-command to
force an unusual bandwidth, but the same will be possible once
qemu implements virDomainBlockCopy:
Before:
Block Copy: [100 %] Bandwidth limit: 2 MiB/s
After:
Block Copy: [100 %] Bandwidth limit: 1048577 bytes/s (1.000 MiB/s)
The cache avoids having to repeatedly checking whether the flag
works when talking to an older server, when multiple blockjob
commands are issued during a batch session and the user is
manually polling for job completion.
* tools/virsh.h (_vshControl): Add a cache.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdConnect, vshReconnect): Initialize the cache.

The current output of 'blockjob [--info]' is a single line
designed for human consumption; it's not very nice for machine
parsing. Furthermore, I have plans to modify the line in
response to the new flag for controlling bandwidth units.
Solve that by adding a --raw parameter, which outputs
information closer to the C struct.
$ virsh blockjob testvm1 vda --raw
type=Block Copy
bandwidth=1
cur=197120
end=197120
The information is indented, because I'd like for a later patch
to add a mode that iterates over all the vm's disks with status
for each; in that mode, each block name would be listed unindented
before information (if any) about that block.
Now that we have a raw mode, we can guarantee that it won't change
format over time. Any app that cares about parsing the output can
try --raw, and if it fails, know that it was talking to an older
virsh and fall back to parsing the human-readable format which had
not changed until now; meanwhile, when not using --raw, we have
freed future virsh to change the output to whatever makes sense.
My first change to human mode: this command now guarantees a line
is printed on successful use of the API, even when the API did
not find a current block job (consistent with the rest of virsh).
Bonus: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135441
complained that this message was confusing:
$ virsh blockjob test1 hda --async --bandwidth 10
error: conflict between --abort, --info, and --bandwidth modes
even though the man page already documents that --async implies
abort mode, all because '--abort' wasn't present in the command

This makes the paragaph about attach-interface more descriptive and
correct, adding in a few bits of information that were previously
missing, e.g. --script is only allowed for bridge interfaces of Xen
domains, target name is regenerated if it starts with vnet, mac
address will be autogenerated if not specified.
(I did this in response to an email asking why a script couldn't be
specified for a bridge interface of a qemu domain, and why an
interface of type='ethernet' couldn't be created with
attach-interface)

Upon successful upload of a volume, the target volume and storage pool
were not updated to reflect any changes as a result of the upload. Make
use of the existing stream close callback mechanism to force a backend
pool refresh to occur in a separate thread once the stream closes. The
separate thread should avoid potential deadlocks if the refresh needed
to wait on some event from the event loop which is used to perform
the stream callback.
Commit id '0e2d7305' modified the code to allow a negative value to be
supplied for the bandwidth argument of the various block virsh commands
and the migrate-setspeed; however, it failed to update the man page to
describe the "feature" whereby a very large value could be interpreted
by the hypervisor to mean maximum value allowed. Although initially
designed to handle a -1 value, the reality is just about any negative
value could be provided and essentially perform the same feature.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1087104
Commit id 'c6212539' explicitly allowed a negative value to be used for
offset and length as a shorthand for the largest value after commit id
'f18c02ec' modified virStrToLong_ui() to essentially disallow a negative
value.
However, allowing a negative value for offset ONLY worked if the negative
value was -1 since the eventual lseek() does allow a -1 to mean the end
of the file. Providing other negative values resulted in errors such as:
$ virsh vol-download --pool default qcow3-vol2 /home/vm-images/raw \
--offset -2 --length -1000
error: cannot download from volume qcow3-vol2
error: Unable to seek /home/vm-images/qcow3-vol2 to 18446744073709551614: Invalid argument
$
Thus, it seems unreasonable to expect or allow a negative value for offset
since the only benefit is to lseek() to the end of the file and then only
take advantage of how the OS would handle such a seek. For the purposes of
upload or download of volume data, that seems to be a no-op. Therefore,
disallow a negative value for offset.
Additionally, modify the man page for vol-upload and vol-download to provide
more details regarding the valid values for both offset and length.
Snapshots and block-copy have a flag that forces qemu to re-use existing
file. Our docs weren't exactly clear on what the existing file should
contain for this to actually work.
Re-word the docs a bit to state that the file needs to be pre-created in
the desired format and the backing chain metadata needs to be set prior
to handing it over to qemu.

Peter's review of an early version of my addition of active block
commit pointed out some issues that I was copying from the block
copy code; fix them up now before perpetuating them.
For virsh commands that manage a single API call, it's nice to have
a 1:1 mapping of options to flags, so that we can test that
lower-layer software handles flag combinations correctly. But where
virsh is introducing syntactic sugar to combine multiple API calls
into a single user interface, we might as well make that interface
compact. That is, we should allow the shorter command-line of
'blockcopy $dom $disk --pivot' without having to explicitly specify
--wait, because this isn't directly a flag passed to a single
underlying API call.
Also, my use of embedded ?: ternaries bordered on unreadable.

We allow translation from no_bandwidth to has_bandwidth for a vnic.
However, going in the opposite direction is not implemented. It's not
limitation of the API rather than internal implementation. The problem
is, we correctly detect that user hasn't specified any outbound (say
he wants to clear out outbound). However, this gets overwritten by
current vnic outbound settings. Then, virNetDevBandwidthSet doesn't
change anything. We need to stop overwriting the outbound if users
don't want us to. Same applies for inbound.

Introducing keepalive similarly to Guannan around 2 years ago. Since
we want to introduce keepalive for every connection, it makes sense to
wrap the connecting function into new virsh one that can deal
keepalive as well.
Function vshConnect() is now used for connecting and keepalive added
in that function (if possible) helps preventing long waits e.g. while
nework goes down during migration.
This patch also adds the options for keepalive tuning into virsh and
fails connecting only when keepalives are explicitly requested and
cannot be set (whether it is due to missing support in connected
driver or remote server). If not explicitely requested, a debug
message is printed (hence the addition to virsh-optparse test).

Similar to our event-test demo program, it's nice to be able to
have a mode where we can sniff all events at once, rather than
having to spawn multiple virsh in parallel with one for each
event type.
(Can I just say our RegisterAny design is lousy? The fact that
the majority of our callback pointers have a function signature
with the opaque data in a different position, and that we have
to cast the function signature before registering it, makes it
hard to write a generic callback function; we have to write one
for every type of event id. Life would have been easier if we
had designed the callback as a fixed signature with a void*
and size parameter, and then allowed the caller to downcast
the void* to a particular struct for data specific to their
callback id, where we could have then had a single function
with a switch statement for each event id, and register that
one function for all types of events. It would also be nicer
if the callback functions knew which callbackID was being used
when invoking that callback, so that I could use a common data
structure among all registrations instead of having to create
an array of one data per callback. But I really don't want to
go add yet another event API design.)

Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').
The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.
Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.
This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.
And provide domain summary stat in that case, for lxc backend.
Use case is a container inheriting all devices from the host,
e.g. when doing application containerization.
For pool which relies on remote resources, such as a "iscsi" type
pool, since how long it takes to export the corresponding devices
to host's sysfs is really depended, it could depend on the network
connection, it also could depend on the host's udev procedures. So
it's likely that the volumes are not able to be detected during pool
starting process, polling the sysfs doesn't work, since we don't
know how much time is best for the polling, and even worse, the
volumes could still be not detected or partly not detected even after
the polling. So we end up with a documentation to prompt the fact,
in virsh manual.
And as a small improvement, let's explicitly say no LUNs found in
the debug log in that case.
Explicitly lists the possible values for "--target" option;
Gets rid of the confused strings like "Suspend-to-RAM";
Emphasises the node *has to* be suspended in the time duration
specified by "--duration". And rewords the entire document a
bit according to the API's implementation and document.
With this patch, user can setup the throttle blkio cgorup
for domain through the virsh cmd, such as:
virsh blkiotune domain1 --device-read-bytes-sec /dev/sda1,1000000,/dev/sda2,2000000
--device-write-bytes-sec /dev/sda1,1000000 --device-read-iops-sec /dev/sda1,10000

Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.
Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).

External checkpoints could be created with snapshot-create, but
without libvirt supplying a default name for the memory file,
it is essential to add a new argument to snapshot-create-as to

option --memspec [file=]name[,snapshot=type], where type can
be none, internal, or external. For an example,
virsh snapshot-create-as $dom --memspec /path/to/file
is the shortest possible command line for creating an external
checkpoint, named after the current timestamp.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (vshParseSnapshotMemspec): New function.
(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Use it.
* tests/virsh-optparse (test_url): Test it.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document it.
Make it clear that the alternate terms have no difference except
for length of time they were supported.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): More documentation.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873344 suggested that
the grouping 'boot', 'shutdown', 'reboot'; as well as the grouping
'start', 'stop', 'restart'; might be easier to remember than the
current mix of 'start', 'shutdown', 'reboot'.
Also, touch up the wording of 'reboot' to be more accurate.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (domManagementCmds): Add other command names.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): Document the aliases.
The default behavior while creating external checkpoints is to pause the
guest while the memory state is captured. We want the users to sacrifice
space saving for creating the memory save image while the guest is live
to minimize downtime.
This patch adds a flag that causes the guest not to be paused before
taking the snapshot.
*include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in:
- add new paused reason: VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT
- add new flag for taking snapshot: VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE
*tools/virsh-domain-monitor.c:
- add string representation for VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT
*tools/virsh-snapshot.c:
- add support for VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE
*tools/virsh.pod:
- add docs for --live option added to use
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE flag
We always expose individual bits from flags as separate options rather
than exposing a raw flags options. Since virNodeSuspendForDuration does
not currently support any flags, the only way of using this --flags
options that would not fail is "--flags 0", which is equivalent to
omitting the option. Thus it is highly unlikely anyone would actually be
using it and removing it should be safe.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869100 mentioned some
confusion about 'virsh snapshot-list' errors. Clean up a
misleading error message, and add some documentation.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotList): Mention --current
rather than --from when appropriate.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Mention that the named starting
point is NOT part of the list except under --tree.
