There is duplicated code which iterates over disk backing stores
performing some action. Provide a convenient helper for doing
this to eliminate duplication & risk of mistakes with disk format
probing
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefForeachPath()
Require the disk image to be passed into virStorageFileGetMetadata.
If this is set to VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO, then the format will be
resolved using probing. This makes it easier to control when
probing will be used
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c,
src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/virt-aa-helper.c:
Set VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO when calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: Probe for disk format before
calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.
* src/util/storage_file.h, src/util/storage_file.c: Remove format
from virStorageFileMeta struct & require it to be passed into
method.
The virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD did two jobs in one. First
it probed for storage type, then it extracted metadata for the
type. It is desirable to be able to separate these jobs, allowing
probing without querying metadata, and querying metadata without
probing.
To prepare for this, split out probing code into a new pair of
methods
virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD
virStorageFileProbeFormat
* src/util/storage_file.c, src/util/storage_file.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Introduce virStorageFileProbeFormat
and virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD
Instead of including a field in FileTypeInfo struct for the
disk format, rely on the array index matching the format.
Use verify() to assert the correct number of elements in the
array.
* src/util/storage_file.c: remove type field from FileTypeInfo
When QEMU opens a backing store for a QCow2 file, it will
normally auto-probe for the format of the backing store,
rather than assuming it has the same format as the referencing
file. There is a QCow2 extension that allows an explicit format
for the backing store to be embedded in the referencing file.
This closes the auto-probing security hole in QEMU.
This backing store format can be useful for libvirt users
of virStorageFileGetMetadata, so extract this data and report
it.
QEMU does not require disk image backing store files to be in
the same format the file linkee. It will auto-probe the disk
format for the backing store when opening it. If the backing
store was intended to be a raw file this could be a security
hole, because a guest may have written data into its disk that
then makes the backing store look like a qcow2 file. If it can
trick QEMU into thinking the raw file is a qcow2 file, it can
access arbitrary files on the host by adding further backing
store links.
To address this, callers of virStorageFileGetMeta need to be
told of the backing store format. If no format is declared,
they can make a decision whether to allow format probing or
not.
IPtables will seek to preserve the source port unchanged when
doing masquerading, if possible. NFS has a pseudo-security
option where it checks for the source port <= 1023 before
allowing a mount request. If an admin has used this to make the
host OS trusted for mounts, the default iptables behaviour will
potentially allow NAT'd guests access too. This needs to be
stopped.
With this change, the iptables -t nat -L -n -v rules for the
default network will be
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 95 packets, 9163 bytes)

This patch removes the individual author names from the libvirtd and virsh
man pages, instead referring to the main AUTHORS file distributed with
libvirt. This approach is needed, as we can't guarantee unicode support
across all versions of pod2man used with libvirt.
Additionally, this patch includes the libvirtd man page in the spec file
used with "make rpm". Without this patch "make rpm" is broken.
When printing out size_t, we need to use %zu to make sure it
will continue to compile on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

vshMalloc and friends always exit() on allocation failure,
so there is no reason to do checking for NULL in the code
that uses it.

There are many naming conventions for partitions associated with a
block device. Some of the major ones are:
/dev/foo -> /dev/foo1
/dev/foo1 -> /dev/foo1p1
/dev/mapper/foo -> /dev/mapper/foop1
/dev/disk/by-path/foo -> /dev/disk/by-path/foo-part1
The universe of possible conventions isn't clear. Rather than trying
to understand all possible conventions, this patch divides devices
into two groups, device mapper devices and everything else. Device
mapper devices seem always to follow the convention of device ->
devicep1; everything else is canonicalized.
dispatch.c requires stdio.h (and stdarg.h), however, currently
dispatch.c implicitly relys on rpc/xdr.h to include stdio.h.
If rpc/xdr.h unxpectedly does not include stdio.h, the compilation
of dispatch.c fails.
This can happen, for example, when portablexdr is installed
under /usr/local; because portablexdr's rpc/xdr.h does not
include stdio.h and gcc looks up it not /usr/include/rpc/xdr.h.
Note that stdarg.h is also included according to man va_start,
although stdio.h seems including it anyway.
* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlMonitorCommand): Correct flaw that would
cause unconditional "incomplete reply ..." failure, since "nbytes"
was always 0 or 1.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuConnectMonitor): Correct erroneous
parenthesization in two expressions. Without this fix, failure
to set or clear SELinux security context in the monitor would go
undiagnosed. Also correct a diagnostic and split some long lines.
When comparing a CPU without <model> element, such as
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
libvirt would happily crash without warning.
When autodetecting whether XML describes guest or host CPU, the presence
of <arch> element is checked. If it's present, we treat the XML as host
CPU definition. Which is right, since guest CPU definitions do not
contain <arch> element. However, if at the same time the root <cpu>
element contains `match' attribute, we would silently ignore it and
still treat the XML as host CPU. We should rather refuse such invalid
XML.
When a CPU to be compared with host CPU describes a host CPU instead of
a guest CPU, the result is incorrect. This is because instead of
treating additional features in host CPU description as required, they
were treated as if they were mentioned with all possible policies at the
same time.
In case qemu supports -nodefconfig, libvirt adds uses it when launching
new guests. Since this option may affect CPU models supported by qemu,
we need to use it when probing for available models.
An indentation mistake meant that a check for return status
was not properly performed in all cases. This could result
in a crash on NULL pointer in a following line.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Fix check for return status
when processing JSON for blockstats
A missing return statement in the python binding meant that
the callers could not get the callback ID, and thus not be
able to unregister event callbacks
* python/libvirt-override-virConnect.py: Add missing return
statement
This patch adds a new --details option to the virsh vol-list
command, making its output more useful when many luns are
present.
Addresses BZ # 605543

By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
All features in the baseline CPU definition were always created with
policy='require' even though an arch driver returned them with different
policy settings.
This allows the user to give an explicit path to configure
./configure --with-vbox=/path/to/virtualbox
instead of having the VirtualBox driver probe a set of possible
paths at runtime. If no explicit path is specified then configure
probes the set of "known" paths.

We only use libpciaccess for resolving device product/vendor. If
initializing the library fails (say if using qemu:///session), don't
warn so loudly, and carry on as usual.
Any error message raised after the process has forked needs
to be followed by virDispatchError, otherwise we have no chance of
ever seeing it. This was selectively done for hook functions in the past,
but really applies to all post-fork errors.
As pointed out by Eric Blake, using dirent->d_type breaks
compilation on MinGW. This patch addresses this by using
'#if defined' as same as doing for virCgroupForDriver.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609044 complained
that 'virsh help pool-create-as' didn't document the shortcut
that you can do 'virsh pool-create-as $name $type --target $target'
rather than having to supply the four optional source- arguments
in order to fill out the necessary positional arguments.
This one-liner changes the help output to hopefully make this more obvious:
NAME
pool-create-as - create a pool from a set of args
SYNOPSIS
pool-create-as <name> [--print-xml] <type> [<source-host>] [<source-path>] [<source-dev>] [<source-name>] [<target>] [--source-format <string>]
DESCRIPTION
Create a pool.
OPTIONS
[--name] <string> name of the pool
--print-xml print XML document, but don't define/create
[--type] <string> type of the pool
[--source-host] <string> source-host for underlying storage
[--source-path] <string> source path for underlying storage
[--source-dev] <string> source device for underlying storage
[--source-name] <string> source name for underlying storage
[--target] <string> target for underlying storage
--source-format <string> format for underlying storage
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Make it more obvious that data
arguments may, but not must, be specified by option leaders.
Some, but not all, codepaths in the qemuMonitorOpen() method
would trigger the destroy callback. The caller does not expect
this to be invoked if construction fails, only during normal
release of the monitor. This resulted in a possible double-unref
of the virDomainObjPtr, because the caller explicitly unrefs
the virDomainObjPtr if qemuMonitorOpen() fails
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Don't invoke destroy callback from
qemuMonitorOpen() failure paths
ENOENT happens normally when a subsystem is enabled with any other
subsystems and the directory of the target group has already removed
in a prior loop. In that case, the function should just return without
leaving an error message.
NB this is the same behavior as before introducing virCgroupRemoveRecursively.
