commit f094aaac changed qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices() such that it
may modify the "backend" (vfio vs. legacy kvm) setting in the
virHostdevDef. However, qemuDomainAttachHostPciDevice() (used by
hotplug) copies the backend setting into a local *before* calling
qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices(), and then later makes a decision based
on that pre-change value.
The result is that, if the backend had been set to "default" (i.e. not
specified in the config) and was later updated to "VFIO" by
qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices(), the qemu process' MacMemLock is not
increased (as is required for VFIO device assignment).
This patch delays making the local copy of backend until after its
potential modification.

consensus based community. Formally document what has
always been an unwritten assumption amongst the community

The previous patch fixed "forwardPlainNames" so that it really is
doing only what is intended, but left the default to be
"forwardPlainNames='no'". Discussion around the initial version of
that patch led to the decision that the default should instead be
"forwardPlainNames='yes'" (i.e. the original behavior before commit
f3886825). This patch makes that change to the default.
In commit f386825 we began adding the options
--domain-needed
--local=/$mydomain/
to all dnsmasq commandlines with the stated reason of preventing
forwarding of DNS queries for names that weren't fully qualified
domain names ("FQDN", i.e. a name that included some "."s and a domain
name). This was later changed to
domain-needed
local=/$mydomain/
when we moved the options from the dnsmasq commandline to a conf file.
The original patch on the list, and discussion about it, is here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-August/msg01594.html
When a domain name isn't specified (mydomain == ""), the addition of
"domain-needed local=//" will prevent forwarding of domain-less
requests to the virtualization host's DNS resolver, but if a domain
*is* specified, the addition of "local=/domain/" will prevent
forwarding of any requests for *qualified* names within that domain
that aren't resolvable by libvirt's dnsmasq itself.
An example of the problems this causes - let's say a network is
defined with:
<domain name='example.com'/>
<dhcp>
..
<host mac='52:54:00:11:22:33' ip='1.2.3.4' name='myguest'/>
</dhcp>
This results in "local=/example.com/" being added to the dnsmasq options.
If a guest requests "myguest" or "myguest.example.com", that will be
resolved by dnsmasq. If the guest asks for "www.example.com", dnsmasq
will not know the answer, but instead of forwarding it to the host, it
will return NOT FOUND to the guest. In most cases that isn't the
behavior an admin is looking for.
A later patch (commit 4f595ba) attempted to remedy this by adding a
"forwardPlainNames" attribute to the <dns> element. The idea was that
if forwardPlainNames='yes' (default is 'no'), we would allow
unresolved names to be forwarded. However, that patch was botched, in
that it only removed the "domain-needed" option when
forwardPlainNames='yes', and left the "local=/mydomain/".
Really we should have been just including the option "--domain-needed
--local=//" (note the lack of domain name) regardless of the
configured domain of the network, so that requests for names without a
domain would be treated as "local to dnsmasq" and not forwarded, but
all others (including those in the network's configured domain) would
be forwarded. We also shouldn't include *either* of those options if
forwardPlainNames='yes'. This patch makes those corrections.
This patch doesn't remedy the fact that default behavior was changed
by the addition of this feature. That will be handled in a subsequent
patch.
I've received a notice over IRC that on some systems, the
virnetdevbandwidthtest is not linked with libxml:

Trivial way avoiding this is to add LIBXML_LIBS to
virnetdevbandwidthtest_LDADD.
We support only one spicevmc channel name anyway and the code is
prepared to use the default one, there's only one check missing. It
is also mentioned in the documentation already and helps defining

Coverity complains about default: label in libxl_driver.c not be able
to be reached. It's by design for the code and since it's not necessary
in the code nor does it elicit any compiler/make check warnings - just
remove it rather than adding a coverity[dead_error_begin] tag.
While I'm at it, lxc_driver.c and nodeinfo.c have the same design, so I
removed the default labels and the existing coverity tags.
And while doing this, fix one error raised by coverity. With
current code, @actual_cmd is allowed to be NULL for the whole

The NWFilter code has as a deadlock race condition between
the virNWFilter{Define,Undefine} APIs and starting of guest
VMs due to mis-matched lock ordering.
In the virNWFilter{Define,Undefine} codepaths the lock ordering
is
1. nwfilter driver lock
2. virt driver lock
3. nwfilter update lock
4. domain object lock
In the VM guest startup paths the lock ordering is
1. virt driver lock
2. domain object lock
3. nwfilter update lock
As can be seen the domain object and nwfilter update locks are
not acquired in a consistent order.
The fix used is to push the nwfilter update lock upto the top
level resulting in a lock ordering for virNWFilter{Define,Undefine}
of
1. nwfilter driver lock
2. nwfilter update lock
3. virt driver lock
4. domain object lock
and VM start using
1. nwfilter update lock
2. virt driver lock
3. domain object lock
This has the effect of serializing VM startup once again, even if
no nwfilters are applied to the guest. There is also the possibility
of deadlock due to a call graph loop via virNWFilterInstantiate
and virNWFilterInstantiateFilterLate.
These two problems mean the lock must be turned into a read/write
lock instead of a plain mutex at the same time. The lock is used to
serialize changes to the "driver->nwfilters" hash, so the write lock
only needs to be held by the define/undefine methods. All other
methods can rely on a read lock which allows good concurrency.

It doesn't make sense to fail if the SCSI host device is specified
as "shareable" explicitly between domains (NB, it works if and only
if the device is specified as "shareable" for *all* domains,
otherwise it fails).
To fix the problem, this patch introduces an array for virSCSIDevice
struct, which records all the names of domain which are using the
device (note that the recorded domains must specify the device as
shareable). And the change on the data struct brings on many
subsequent changes in the code.
Prior to this patch, the "shareable" tag didn't work as expected,
it actually work like "non-shareable". So this patch also added notes
in formatdomain.html to declare the fact.

This reverts commit 2996e6be19
and some parts of 2636dc8c4d.
The former one tried to implement QoS setting on bridgeless networks.
However, as discussed upstream [1], the patch is far away from being
useful in even a single case. The whole idea of network QoS is to have
aggregated limits over several interfaces. This patch is doing
completely the opposite when merging two QoS settings (from the network
and the domain interface) into one which is then set at the domain
interface itself, not the network.
The latter one is the test for the previous one. Now none of them makes
sense.

There are some units within libvirt that utilize virCommand API to run
some commands and deserve own unit testing. These units are, however,
not desired to be rewritten to dig virCommand API usage out. As a great
example virNetDevBandwidth could be used. The problem with the bandwidth
unit is: it uses virCommand API heavily. Therefore we need a mechanism
to not really run a command, but rather see its string representation
after which we can decide if the unit construct the correct sequence of
commands or not.

When all source CPU XMLs contain just a single CPU model (with a
possibly varying set of additional feature elements),
virConnectBaselineCPU will try to use this CPU model in the computed
guest CPU. Thus, when used on just a single CPU (useful with
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES), the result will not use a
different CPU model.
If the computed CPU uses the source model, set fallback mode to 'forbid'
to make sure the guest CPU will always be as close as possible to the
source CPUs.

Currently, libvirt's XML schema of network allows QoS to be defined for
every network even though it has no bridge. For instance:
<network>
<name>vdsm-no-bridge</name>
<forward mode='passthrough'>
<interface dev='em1.10'/>
</forward>
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='5000' burst='1024'/>
<outbound average='1000' burst='1024'/>
</bandwidth>
</network>
The bandwidth limitations can be, however, applied even on such
networks. In fact, they are going to be applied on the interface that
will be connected to the network on a domain startup. This approach,
however, has one limitation. With bridged networks, there are two points
where QoS can be set: bridge and domain interface. The lower limit of
the two is enforced then. For instance, if the interface has 10Mbps
average, but the network only 1Mbps, there's no way for interface to
transmit packets faster than the 1Mbps limit. With two points this is
enforced by kernel. With only one point, we must combine both QoS
settings into one which is set afterwards. Look at
virNetDevBandwidthMinimal() and you'll understand immediately what I
mean.

Currently the qemuDomainGetBlockInfo will return allocation == physical
for most backing stores. For a qcow2 block backed device it's possible
to return the highest lv extent allocated from qemu for an active guest.
That is a value where allocation != physical and one would hope be less.
However, if the guest is not running, then the code falls back to returning
allocation == physical. This turns out to be problematic for rhev which
monitors the size of the backing store. During a migration, before the
VM has been started on the target and while it is deemed inactive on the
source, there's a small window of time where the allocation is returned
as physical triggering the code to extend the file unnecessarily.
Since rhev uses transient domains and this is edge condition for a transient
domain, rather than returning good status and allocation == physical when
this "window of opportunity" exists, this patch will check for a transient
(or non persistent) domain and return a failure to the caller rather than
returning the defaults. For a persistent domain, the defaults will be
returned. The description for the virDomainGetBlockInfo has been updated
to describe the phenomena.
the array params is allocated by VIR_ALLOC_N in
remoteDispatchDomainGetCPUStats. it had been set
to zero. No need to reset it to zero again, and
this reset here is incorrect too, nparams * ncpus
is the array length not the size of params array.
