-vnc :5900,share=allow-exclusive
allows clients to ask for exclusive access which is
implemented by dropping other connections Connecting
multiple clients in parallel requires all clients asking
for a shared session (vncviewer: -shared switch)
-vnc :5900,share=force-shared
disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared
desktop sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting
specify -shared disconnect everybody else.
-vnc :5900,share=ignore
completely ignores the shared flag and allows everybody
connect unconditionally
Introduce use of a virDomainDefPtr in the domain lookup
APIs to simplify introduction of ACL security checks.
The virDomainPtr cannot be safely used, since the app
may have supplied mis-matching name/uuid/id fields. eg
the name points to domain X, while the uuid points to
domain Y. Resolving the virDomainPtr to a virDomainDefPtr
ensures a consistent name/uuid/id set.

QEMU might support more values for "-drive discard", so using Bi-state
values (on/off) for it doesn't make sense.
"on" maps to "unmap", "off" maps to "ignore":
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
The following XML configuration can be used to request all domain's
memory pages to be kept locked in host's memory (i.e., domain's memory
pages will not be swapped out):
<memoryBacking>
<locked/>
</memoryBacking>
QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53,
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
This patch exposes the support in libvirt.
QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0:
% git tag --contains a9384aff53
contains
v1.5.0-rc0
v1.5.0-rc1
So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.
Adding support for new attribute 'websocket' in the '<graphics>'
element, the attribute value is the port to listen on with '-1'
meaning auto-allocation, '0' meaning no websockets.
QEMU introduced command line "-mem-merge=on|off" (defaults to on) to
enable/disable the memory merge (KSM) at guest startup. This exposes
it by new XML:
<memoryBacking>
<nosharepages/>
</memoryBacking>
The XML tag is same with what we used internally for old RHEL.
The <filesystem> element can now accept a <driver type='nbd'/>
as an alternative to 'loop'. The benefit of NBD is support
for non-raw disk image formats.

Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to
allow a storage format to be set. The new attribute
uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is
different from the <driver> element in disk devices
which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This
is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices
is already used for the driver backend, for which the
disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh.
Anyway for disks we have
<driver name="qemu" type="raw"/>
And for filesystems this change means we now have
<driver type="loop" format="raw"/>

An example of the scsi hostdev XML:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='4' unit='8'/>
</hostdev>
Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.
The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let
libvirt generate it automatically.
This only introduces the generic XMLs for scsi hostdev, later patches
will add other elements, e.g. <readonly>, <shareable>.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
This isn't strictly speaking a bugfix, but I realized I'd gotten a bit
too verbose when I chose the names for
VIR_DOMAIN_HOSTDEV_PCI_BACKEND_TYPE_*. This shortens them all a bit.
A domain's <interface> or <hostdev>, as well as a <network>'s
<forward>, can now have an optional <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
element. As of this patch, there is no functionality behind this new
knob - this patch adds support to the domain and network
formatter/parser, and to the RNG and documentation.
When the backend is added, legacy KVM PCI device assignment will
continue to be used when no driver name is specified (or if <driver
name='kvm'/> is specified), but if driver name is 'vfio', the new UEFI
Secure Boot compatible VFIO device assignment will be used.
Note that the parser doesn't automatically insert the current default
value of this setting. This is done on purpose because the two
possibilities are functionally equivalent from the guest's point of
view, and we want to be able to automatically start using vfio as the
default (even for existing domains) at some time in the future. This
is similar to what was done with the "vhost" driver option in
<interface>.
There will soon be other items related to pci hostdevs that need to be
in the same part of the hostdevsubsys union as the pci address (which
is currently a single member called "pci". This patch replaces the
single member named pci with a struct named pci that contains a single
member named "addr".
<controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/>
is auto-added to pc* machine types.
Without this controller PCI bus 0 is not available and
no PCI addresses are assigned by default.
Since older libvirt supported PCI bus 0 even without
this controller, it is removed from the XML when migrating.
Now we set the default disk driver name when parsing
the qemu command line too, hence all the test changes.
Assume format type is 'auto' when none is specified on
qemu command line.
For pSeries guest in QEMU, NVRAM is one kind of spapr-vio device.
Users are allowed to specify spapr-vio devices'address.
But NVRAM is not supported in libvirt. So this patch is to
add NVRAM device to allow users to specify its address.
In QEMU, NVRAM device's address is specified by
"-global spapr-nvram.reg=xxxxx".
In libvirt, XML file is defined as the following:
<nvram>
<address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x3000'/>
</nvram>

Instead of making a choice between the underscore and camelCase, this
simply changes "num_queues" into "queues", which is also consistent
with Michal's multiple queue support for interface.
Switch the function from a bunch of ifs to a switch statement with
correct type and reflow some code.
Also fix comment in enum describing possible graphics types

To support "shareable" for volume type disk, we have to translate
the source before trying to add the shared disk entry. To achieve
the goal, this moves the helper qemuTranslateDiskSourcePool into
src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, and introduce an internal only member (voltype)
for struct _virDomainDiskSourcePoolDef, to record the underlying
volume type for use when building the drive string.
Later patch will support "shareable" volume type disk.
With this patch, one can specify the disk source using libvirt
storage like:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<source pool='default' volume='fc18.img'/>
<target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>
"seclabels" and "startupPolicy" are not supported for this new
disk type ("volume"). They will be supported in later patches.

This introduce a new attribute "num_queues" (same with the good name
QEMU uses) for virtio-scsi controller. An example of the XML:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi' num_queues='8'/>
The corresponding QEMU command line:
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,num_queues=8,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 \
This patch refactors various places to allow removing of the
defaultConsoleTargetType callback from the virCaps structure.
A new console character device target type is introduced -
VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_NONE - to mark that no type was
specified in the XML. This type is at the end converted to the standard
VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_SERIAL. Other types that are
different from this default have to be processed separately in the
device post parse callback.
Use the virDomainXMLConf structure to hold this data and tweak the code
to avoid semantic change.
Without configuration the KVM mac prefix is used by default. I chose it
as it's in the privately administered segment so it should be usable for
any purposes.
This patch removes the emulatorRequired field and associated
infrastructure from the virCaps object. Instead the driver specific
callbacks are used as this field isn't enforced by all drivers.
This patch implements the appropriate callbacks in the qemu and lxc
driver and moves to check to that location.
This patch adds instrumentation that will allow hypervisor drivers to
fill and validate domain and device definitions after parsed by the XML
parser.
With this patch, after the XML is parsed, a callback to the driver is
issued requesting to fill and validate driver specific details of the
configuration. This allows to use sensible defaults and checks on a per
driver basis at the time the XML is parsed.
Two callback pointers are stored in the new virDomainXMLConf object:
* virDomainDeviceDefPostParseCallback (devicesPostParseCallback)
- called for a single device parsed and for every single device in a
domain config. A virDomainDeviceDefPtr is passed along with the
domain definition and virCaps.
* virDomainDefPostParseCallback, (domainPostParseCallback)
- A callback that is meant to process the domain config after it's
parsed. A virDomainDefPtr is passed along with virCaps.
Both types of callbacks support arbitrary opaque data passed for the
callback functions.
Errors may be reported in those callbacks resulting in a XML parsing
failure.
This patch is the result of running:
for i in $(git ls-files | grep -v html | grep -v \.po$ ); do
sed -i -e "s/virDomainXMLConf/virDomainXMLOption/g" -e "s/xmlconf/xmlopt/g" $i
done
and a few manual tweaks.
The virDomainDefGetSecurityLabelDef was modifying the domain XML.
It tried to find a seclabel corresponding to given sec driver. If the
label wasn't found, the function created one which is wrong. In fact
it's security manager which should modify this part of domain XML.
