Through conversation with Kumar L Srikanth-B22348, I found
that the function of getting memory usage (e.g., virsh dominfo)
doesn't work for lxc with ns subsystem of cgroup enabled.
This is because of features of ns and memory subsystems.
Ns creates child cgroup on every process fork and as a result
processes in a container are not assigned in a cgroup for
domain (e.g., libvirt/lxc/test1/). For example, libvirt_lxc
and init (or somewhat specified in XML) are assigned into
libvirt/lxc/test1/8839/ and libvirt/lxc/test1/8839/8849/,
respectively. On the other hand, memory subsystem accounts
memory usage within a group of processes by default, i.e.,
it does not take any child (and descendant) groups into
account. With the two features, virsh dominfo which just
checks memory usage of a cgroup for domain always returns
zero because the cgroup has no process.
Setting memory.use_hierarchy of a group allows to account
(and limit) memory usage of every descendant groups of the group.
By setting it of a cgroup for domain, we can get proper memory
usage of lxc with ns subsystem enabled. (To be exact, the
setting is required only when memory and ns subsystems are
enabled at the same time, e.g., mount -t cgroup none /cgroup.)
As same as normal directories, a cgroup cannot be removed if it
contains sub groups. This patch changes virCgroupRemove to remove
all descendant groups (subdirectories) of a target group before
removing the target group.
The handling is required when we run lxc with ns subsystem of cgroup.
Ns subsystem automatically creates child cgroups on every process
forks, but unfortunately the groups are not removed on process exits,
so we have to remove them by ourselves.
With this patch, such child (and descendant) groups are surely removed
at lxc shutdown, i.e., lxcVmCleanup which calls virCgroupRemove.
add iptables rules to allow TFTP from the virtual network if <tftp>
element is defined in the network definition.
Fedora bz#580215
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: open UDP port 69 for TFTP traffic if
tftproot is defined
We already use the '-nodefaults' command line arg with QEMU to stop
it adding any default devices to guests. Unfortunately, QEMU will
load global config files from /etc/qemu that may also add default
devices. These aren't blocked by '-nodefaults', so we need to also
add the '-nodefconfig' arg to prevent that.
Unfortunately these global config files are also used to define
custom CPU models. So in blocking global hardware device addition
we also block definitions of new CPU models. Libvirt doesn't know
about these custom CPU models though, so it would never make use
of them anyway. Thus blocking them via -nodefconfig isn't a show
stopping problem. We would need to expand libvirt's own CPU model
XML database to support these instead.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add '-nodefconfig' if available
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add '-nodefconfig' to all data files which
have '-nodefaults' present
The current code pattern requires that callers of qemuMonitorClose
check for the return value == 0, and if so, set priv->mon = NULL
and release the reference held on the associated virDomainObjPtr
The change d84bb6d6a3 violated that
requirement, meaning that priv->mon never gets set to NULL, and
a reference count is leaked on virDomainObjPtr.
This design was a bad one, so remove the need to check the return
valueof qemuMonitorClose(). Instead allow registration of a
callback that's invoked just when the last reference on qemuMonitorPtr
is released.
Finally there was a potential reference leak in qemuConnectMonitor
in the failure path.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h: Add a destroy
callback invoked from qemuMonitorFree
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Use the destroy callback to release the
reference on virDomainObjPtr when the monitor is freed. Fix other
potential reference count leak in connecting to monitor
Before issuing monitor commands it is neccessary to check whether
the guest is still running. Most places use virDomainIsActive()
correctly, but a few relied on 'priv->mon != NULL'. In theory
these should be equivalent, but the release of the last reference
count on priv->mon can be delayed a small amount of time until
the event handler is finally deregistered. A further ref counting
bug also means that priv->mon might be never released. In such a
case, code could mistakenly issue a monitor command and wait for
a response that will never arrive, effectively leaving the QEMU
driver waiting on virCondWait() forever..
To protect against these possibilities, make sure all code uses
virDomainIsActive(), not 'priv->mon != NULL'
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Replace 'priv->mon != NULL' with
calls to 'priv->mon != NULL'()
If there is no driver for a URI we report
"no hypervisor driver available"
This is bad because not all virt drivers are hypervisors (ie container
based virt).
If there is no driver support for an API we report
"this function is not supported by the hypervisor"
This is bad for the same reason, and additionally because it is
also used for the network, interface & storage drivers.
* src/util/virterror.c: Improve error messages
Following Daniel Berrange's multiple helpful suggestions for improving
this patch and introducing another driver interface, I now wrote the
below patch where the nwfilter driver registers the functions to
instantiate and teardown the nwfilters with a function in
conf/domain_nwfilter.c called virDomainConfNWFilterRegister. Previous
helper functions that were called from qemu_driver.c and qemu_conf.c
were move into conf/domain_nwfilter.h with slight renaming done for
consistency. Those functions now call the function expored by
domain_nwfilter.c, which in turn call the functions of the new driver
interface, if available.
- Fix documentation for virGetStorageVol: it has 'key' argument instead
of 'uuid'.
- Remove TODO comment from virReleaseStorageVol: we use volume key as an
identifier instead of UUID.
- Print human-readable UUID string in debug message in virReleaseSecret.
Per-connection hashes for domains, networks, storage pools and network
filter pools were indexed by names which was not the best choice. UUIDs
are better identifiers, so lets use them.
If VM startup fails early enough (can't find a referenced USB device),
libvirtd will crash trying to clear the VNC port bit, since port = 0,
which overflows us out of the bitmap bounds.
Fix this by being more defensive in the bitmap operations, and only
clearing a previously set VNC port.

This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).
[...]
<rule action='accept' direction='in' statematch='false'>
<tcp srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'
srcipaddr='10.1.2.3' srcipmask='32'
dscp='33'

dstportstart='100' dstportend='1111'/>
</rule>

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.

This patch works around a recent extension of the netlink driver I had made use of when building the netlink messages. Unfortunately older kernels don't accept IFLA_IFNAME + name of interface as a replacement for the interface's index, so this patch now gets the interface index ifindex if it's not provided (ifindex <= 0).

Some guests (eg with badly configured grub, or Windows' installation cd)
require quick response from the console user. That's why we have a
"launchPaused" option in vdsm.
To implement it via libvirt, we need to ask libvirt not to call
qemuMonitorStartCPUs() after starting qemu. Calling virDomainStop
immediately after the domain is up is inherently raceful.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudStartVMDaemon): Add new parameter;
all callers adjusted.
(qemudDomainCreate): Implement support for new flag.
* This patch is a modification of a patch submitted by Nigel Jones.
It fixes several memory leaks on device addition/removal:
1. Free the virNodeDeviceDefPtr in udevAddOneDevice if the return
value is non-zero
2. Always release the node device reference after the device has been
processed.

When SELinux is running in MLS mode, libvirtd will have a
different security level to the VMs. For libvirtd to be

The domain parsing code would auto-add a virtio serial controller
if it saw any virtio serial channel defined. Unfortunately it
always added a controller with index=0, even if the channel address
specified an index != 0. It only added one controller, even if
multiple controllers were referenced by channels. Finally, it let
the ports+vectors parameters initialize to zero instead of -1, which
prevented the controllers accepting any ports.

virtio serial controllers. Add all neccessary virtio serial
controllers, instead of hardcoding controller 0
