The QEMU integrates with the lock manager instructure in a number
of key places
* During startup, a lock is acquired in between the fork & exec
* During startup, the libvirtd process acquires a lock before
setting file labelling
* During shutdown, the libvirtd process acquires a lock
before restoring file labelling
* During hotplug, unplug & media change the libvirtd process
holds a lock while setting/restoring labels
The main content lock is only ever held by the QEMU child process,
or libvirtd during VM shutdown. The rest of the operations only
require libvirtd to hold the metadata locks, relying on the active
QEMU still holding the content lock.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h,
src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug, src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug:
Add config parameter for configuring lock managers
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Add calls to the lock manager
This patch adds max_processes option to qemu.conf which can be used to
override system default limit on number of processes that are allowed to
be running for qemu user.
Since libvirt always passes /dev/net/tun to qemu via fd, we should
never trigger the cases where qemu tries to directly open the
device. Therefore, it is safer to deny the cgroup device ACL.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c (defaultDeviceACL): Remove /dev/net/tun.
* src/qemu/qemu.conf (cgroup_device_acl): Reflect this change.
If vnc_auto_unix_socket is enabled, any VNC devices without a hardcoded
listen or socket value will be setup to serve over a unix socket in
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.vnc.
We store the generated socket path in the transient VM definition at
CLI build time.
`dump' watchdog action lets libvirtd to dump the guest when receives a
watchdog event (which probably means a guest crash)
Currently only qemu is supported.
In common with VNC, the QEMU driver configuration file is used
specify the host level TLS certificate location and a default
password / listen address
* src/qemu/qemu.conf: Add spice_listen, spice_tls,
spice_tls_x509_cert_dir & spice_password config params
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Parsing of
spice config parameters and updating -spice arg generation
to use them
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-graphics-spice-rhel6.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Expand test case to cover driver
level configuration
Add dump_image_format[] to qemu.conf and support compressed dump
at virsh dump. coredump compression is important for saving disk space
in an environment where multiple guests run.
In general, "disk space for dump" is specially allocated and will be
a dead space in the system. It's used only at emergency. So, it's better
to have both of save_image_format and dump_image_format. "save" is done
in scheduled manner with enough calculated disk space for it.
This code reuses some of save_image_format[] and supports the same format.
Changelog:
- modified libvirtd_qemu.aug
- modified test_libvirtd_qemu.aug
- fixed error handling of qemudSaveCompressionTypeFromString()
This sets the process name to the same value as the Windows title,
but since the name is limited to 16 chars only this is kept as a
configuration option and turned off by default
* src/qemu/qemu.conf src/qemu/qemu_conf.[ch]: hceck for support in the
QEmu help output, add the option in qemu conf file and augment
qemudBuildCommandLine to add it if switched on
* src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug: augment
the augeas lenses accordingly
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: cope with the extra flag being detected now
Disk format probing is now disabled by default. A new config
option in /etc/qemu/qemu.conf will re-enable it for existing
deployments where this causes trouble
Currently all host audio backends are disabled if a VM is using VNC, in
favor of the QEMU VNC audio extension. Unfortunately no released VNC
client supports this extension, so users have no way of getting audio
to work if using VNC.
Add a new config option in qemu.conf which allows changing libvirt's
behavior, but keep the default intact.
v2: Fix doc typos, change name to vnc_allow_host_audio
Add the ability to turn off dynamic management of file permissions
for libvirt guests.
* qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug: Support 'dynamic_ownership' flag
* qemu/qemu.conf: Document 'dynamic_ownership' flag.
* qemu/qemu_conf.c: Load 'dynamic_ownership' flag
* qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug: Test 'dynamic_ownership' flag
* src/qemu/qemu.conf src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: there is
a new config type option for mac filtering
* src/qemu/qemu_bridge_filter.[ch]: new module for the ebtable entry points
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: plug the MAC filtering at the right places
in the domain life cycle
* src/Makefile.am po/POTFILES.in: add the new module
* daemon/default-network.xml: Move to src/network/default.xml
* daemon/libvirtd_qemu.aug, daemon/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug: Move
to src/qemu/
* src/qemu.conf: Move to src/qemu/qemu.conf
* daemon/Makefile.am: Remove rules for default-nmetwork.xml and
libvirtd_qemu.aug and test_libvirtd_qemu.aug. Fix typo in
uninstall-local that would install polkit again.
* src/Makefile.am: Add rules for installing network/default.xml
and the qemu/*.aug files. Add test case for QEMU augeas files.
Add uninstall-local rule for files/directories created during
install. Rename install-exec-local to install-data-local.
Only install qemu.conf if WITH_QEMU is set.
* tests/networkschematest: Update for XML location move
