So far, we were dropping non-blocking calls whenever sending them would
block. In case a client is sending lots of stream calls (which are not
supposed to generate any reply), the assumption that having other calls
in a queue is sufficient to get a reply from the server doesn't work. I
tried to fix this in b1e374a7ac but
failed and reverted that commit.
With this patch, non-blocking calls are never dropped (unless the
connection is being closed) and will always be sent.
Normally, when every call has a thread associated with it, the thread
may get the buck and be in charge of sending all calls until its own
call is done. When we introduced non-blocking calls, we had to add
special handling of new non-blocking calls. This patch uses event loop
to send data if there is no thread to get the buck so that any
non-blocking calls left in the queue are properly sent without having to
handle them specially. It also avoids adding even more cruft to client
IO loop in the following patches.
With this change in, non-blocking calls may see unpredictable delays in
delivery when the client has no event loop registered. However, the only
non-blocking calls we have are keepalives and we already require event
loop for them, which makes this a non-issue until someone introduces new
non-blocking calls.
My latest patch for RPC rework (a2c304f687) introduced a memory leak.
virNetMessageEncodeHeader() is calling VIR_ALLOC_N(msg->buffer, ...)
despite fact, that msg->buffer isn't VIR_FREE()'d on all paths calling
the function. Therefore, rather than injecting free statement switch to
VIR_REALLOC_N().
Since we are allocating RPC buffer dynamically, we can increase limits
for max. size of RPC message and RPC string. This is needed to cover
some corner cases where libvirt is run on such huge machines that their
capabilities XML is 4 times bigger than our current limit. This leaves
users with inability to even connect.
Currently, we are allocating buffer for RPC messages statically.
This is not such pain when RPC limits are small. However, if we want
ever to increase those limits, we need to allocate buffer dynamically,
based on RPC message len (= the first 4 bytes). Therefore we will
decrease our mem usage in most cases and still be flexible enough in
corner cases.
Remove the uid param from virGetUserConfigDirectory,

This reverts commit b1e374a7ac, which was
rather bad since I failed to consider all sides of the issue. The main
things I didn't consider properly are:
- a thread which sends a non-blocking call waits for the thread with
the buck to process the call
- the code doesn't expect non-blocking calls to remain in the queue
unless they were already partially sent
Thus, the reverted patch actually breaks more than what it fixes and
clients (which may even be libvirtd during p2p migrations) will likely
end up in a deadlock.
Currently, non-blocking calls are either sent immediately or discarded
in case sending would block. This was implemented based on the
assumption that the non-blocking keepalive call is not needed as there
are other calls in the queue which would keep the connection alive.
However, if those calls are no-reply calls (such as those carrying
stream data), the remote party knows the connection is alive but since
we don't get any reply from it, we think the connection is dead.
This is most visible in tunnelled migration. If it happens to be longer
than keepalive timeout (30s by default), it may be unexpectedly aborted
because the connection is considered to be dead.
With this patch, we only discard non-blocking calls when the last call
with a thread is completed and thus there is no thread left to keep
sending the remaining non-blocking calls.
The docs for virConnectSetKeepAlive() advertise that this function
should be able to disable keepalives on negative or zero interval time.
This patch removes the check that prohibited this and adds code to
disable keepalives on negative/zero interval.
* src/libvirt.c: virConnectSetKeepAlive(): - remove check for negative
values
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c
* src/rpc/virnetclient.h: - add virNetClientKeepAliveStop() to disable
keepalive messages
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: remoteSetKeepAlive(): -add ability to
disable keepalives
POSIX says that sa_sigaction is only safe to use if sa_flags
includes SA_SIGINFO; conversely, sa_handler is only safe to
use when flags excludes that bit. Gnulib doesn't guarantee
an implementation of SA_SIGINFO, but does guarantee that
if SA_SIGINFO is undefined, we can safely define it to 0 as
long as we don't dereference the 2nd or 3rd argument of
any handler otherwise registered via sa_sigaction.
Based on a report by Wen Congyang.

DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and
provides such glue logic itself.
The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a
dbus connection with event loop integration. Thus we need
to pull the current event loop glue out of the HAL driver.
Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
automagically setup.

On 64-bit platforms, unsigned long and unsigned long long are
identical, so we don't have to worry about overflow checks.
On 32-bit platforms, anywhere we narrow unsigned long long back
to unsigned long, we have to worry about overflow; it's easier
to do this in one place by having most of the code use the same
or wider types, and only doing the narrowing at the last minute.
Therefore, the memory set commands remain unsigned long, and
the memory get command now centralizes the overflow check into
libvirt.c, so that drivers don't have to repeat the work.
This also fixes a bug where xen returned the wrong value on
failure (most APIs return -1 on failure, but getMaxMemory
must return 0 on failure).

A multi-threaded client with event loop may crash if one of its threads
closes a connection while event loop is in the middle of sending
keep-alive message (either request or response). The right place for it
is inside virNetClientIOEventLoop() between poll() and
virNetClientLock(). We should only close a connection directly if no-one
is using it and defer the closing to the last user otherwise. So far we
only did so if the close was initiated by keep-alive timeout.

Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase. That is, given:
base <- intermediate <- current
virDomainBlockPull will produce:
current
but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:
base <- current
Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags. But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:
Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.
Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.

If client stream does not have any data to sink and neither received
EOF, a dummy packet is sent to the daemon signalising client is ready to
sink some data. However, after we added event loop to client a race may
occur:
Thread 1 calls virNetClientStreamRecvPacket and since no data are cached
nor stream has EOF, it decides to send dummy packet to server which will
sent some data in turn. However, during this decision and actual message
exchange with server -
Thread 2 receives last stream data from server. Therefore an EOF is set
on stream and if there is a call waiting (which is not yet) it is woken
up. However, Thread 1 haven't sent anything so far, so there is no call
to be woken up. So this thread sent dummy packet to daemon, which
ignores that as no stream is associated with such packet and therefore
no reply will ever come.
This race causes client to hang indefinitely.
The RPC code had several latent memory leaks and an attempt to
free the wrong string, but thankfully nothing triggered them
(blkiotune was the only one returning a string, and always as
the last parameter). Also, our cleanups for rpcgen ended up
nuking a line of code that renders VIR_TYPED_PARAM_INT broken,
because it was the only use of 'i' in a function, even though
it was a member usage rather than a standalone declaration.

correct array element.

When one thread passes the buck to another thread, it uses
virCondSignal to wake up the target thread. The variable
'haveTheBuck' is not updated in a race-free manner when
this occurs. The current thread sets it to false, and the
woken up thread sets it to true. There is a window where
a 3rd thread can come in and grab the buck.
Even if this didn't lead to crashes & deadlocks, this would
still result in unfairness in the buckpassing algorithm.
A better solution is to *never* set haveTheBuck to false
when we're passing the buck. Only set it to false when there
is no further thread waiting for the buck.

if no thread is waiting

Originaly, the code checked if another client is the queue and infered
ownership of the buck from that. Commit fa9595003d
added a separate variable to track the buck. That caused, that a new
call might enter claiming it has the buck, while another thread was
signalled to take the buck. This ends in two threads claiming they hold
the buck and entering poll(). This happens due to a race on waking up
threads on the client lock mutex.
This caused multi-threaded clients to hang, most prominently visible and
reproducible on python based clients, like virt-manager.
This patch causes threads, that have been signalled to take the buck to
re-check if buck is held by another thread.

The keepalive program has two procedures: PING, and PONG.
Both are used only in asynchronous messages and the sender doesn't wait
for any reply. However, the party which receives PING messages is
supposed to react by sending PONG message the other party, but no
explicit binding between PING and PONG messages is made. For backward
compatibility neither server nor client are allowed to send keepalive
messages before checking that remote party supports them.
When virNetClientIOEventLoop is called for a non-blocking call and not
even a single byte can be sent from this call without blocking, we
properly reported that to the caller which properly frees the call. But
we never removed the call from a call queue.
Due to the asynchronous nature of streams, we might continue to
receive some stream packets from the server even after we have
shutdown the stream on the client side. These should be discarded

The code calling sendfd/recvfd was mistakenly assuming those
calls would never block. They can in fact return EAGAIN and
this is causing us to drop the client connection when blocking
ocurrs while sending/receiving FDs.
Fixing this is a little hairy on the incoming side, since at
the point where we see the EAGAIN, we already thought we had
finished receiving all data for the packet. So we play a little
trick to reset bufferOffset again and go back into polling for
more data.

If daemon is using SASL it reads client data into a cache. This cache is
big (usually 65KB) and can thus contain 2 or more messages. However,
on socket event we can dispatch only one message. So if we read two
messages at once, the second will not be dispatched as the socket event
goes away with filling the cache.
Moreover, when dispatching the cache we need to remember to take care
of client max requests limit.

The libvirtd daemon had a few crude system tap probes. Some of
these were broken during the RPC rewrite. The new modular RPC
code is structured in a way that allows much more effective
tracing. Instead of trying to hook up the original probes,
define a new set of probes for the RPC and event code.
The master probes file is now src/probes.d. This contains
probes for virNetServerClientPtr, virNetClientPtr, virSocketPtr
virNetTLSContextPtr and virNetTLSSessionPtr modules. Also add
probes for the poll event loop.
The src/dtrace2systemtap.pl script can convert the probes.d
file into a libvirt_probes.stp file to make use from systemtap
much simpler.
The src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl script can generate a set of
systemtap functions for translating RPC enum values into
printable strings. This works for all RPC header enums (program,
type, status, procedure) and also the authentication enum
The PROBE macro will automatically generate a VIR_DEBUG
statement, so any place with a PROBE can remove any existing
manual DEBUG statements.
* daemon/libvirtd.stp, daemon/probes.d: Remove obsolete probing

If we receive an error on the stream, set the EOF marker so
that any further (bogus) incoming data is dropped.
* src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c: Set EOF on stream
If we send back an unknown program error for async messages,
we will confuse the client because they only expect replies
for method calls. Just log & drop any invalid async messages
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Don't send error for async messages
Commit 597fe3cee6 accidentally
introduced a deadlock when reporting an unknown RPC program.
The virNetServerDispatchNewMessage method is called with
the client locked, and must therefore not attempt to send
any RPC messages back to the client. Only once the incoming
message is passed off to the virNetServerHandleJob worker
is it safe to start sending messages back
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Delay checking for unknown RPC
program until in worker thread
Do not crash if virStreamFinish is called after error.

commit 984840a2c2 removed the
notification of waiting calls when VIR_NET_CONTINUE messages
arrive. This was to fix the case of a virStreamAbort() call
being prematurely notified of completion.
The problem is that sometimes there are dummy calls from a
virStreamRecv() call waiting that *do* need to be notified.
These dummy calls should have a status VIR_NET_CONTINUE. So
re-add the notification upon VIR_NET_CONTINUE, but only if
the waiter also has a status of VIR_NET_CONTINUE.
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Notify waiting call if stream data
arrives
* src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c: Mark dummy stream read packet
with status VIR_NET_CONTINUE
Libvirt special-cases a specific VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote driver
back into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT on the client, so that clients can
handle missing rpc functions the same whether the hypervisor driver
is local or remote. However, commit c1b22644 introduced a regression:
VIR_FROM_THIS changed from VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC, so the
special casing no longer works if the server uses the newer error
domain.
* src/rpc/virnetclientprogram.c
(virNetClientProgramDispatchError): Also cater to 0.9.3 and newer.
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: fix memory leak on

This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).
For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.
The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.
To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.
Commit 2c85644b0b attempted to
fix a problem with tracking RPC messages from streams by doing
- if (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_REPLY) {
+ if (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_REPLY ||
+ (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_STREAM &&
+ msg->header.status != VIR_NET_CONTINUE)) {
client->nrequests--;
In other words any stream packet, with status NET_OK or NET_ERROR
would cause nrequests to be decremented. This is great if the
packet from from a synchronous virStreamFinish or virStreamAbort
API call, but wildly wrong if from a server initiated abort.
The latter resulted in 'nrequests' being decremented below zero.
This then causes all I/O for that client to be stopped.
Instead of trying to infer whether we need to decrement the
nrequests field, from the message type/status, introduce an
explicit 'bool tracked' field to mark whether the virNetMessagePtr
object is subject to tracking.
Also add a virNetMessageClear function to allow a message
contents to be cleared out, without adversely impacting the
'tracked' field as a naive memset() would do
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h: Add
a 'bool tracked' field and virNetMessageClear() API
* daemon/remote.c, daemon/stream.c, src/rpc/virnetclientprogram.c,
src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c,
src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.c: Switch over to use
virNetMessageClear() and pass in the 'bool tracked' value
when creating messages.
The bufferOffset has been initialized to zero in virNetMessageEncodePayloadRaw(),
so, we use bufferLength to represent the length of message which is going to be
sent to client side.
From: Matthias Bolte <matthias.bolte@googlemail.com>
Tested-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@novell.com>
Matthias provided this patch to fix an issue I encountered in the
generator with APIs containing call-by-ref long type, e.g.
int virDomainMigrateGetMaxSpeed(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned long *bandwidth,
unsigned int flags);
In case we add a new program in the future (we did that in the past and
we are going to do it again soon) current daemon will behave badly with
new client that wants to use the new program. Before the RPC rewrite we
used to just send an error reply to any request with unknown program.
With the RPC rewrite in 0.9.3 the daemon just closes the connection
through which such request was sent. This patch fixes this regression.
When spice_tls is set but listen_tls is not, we don't initialize
GnuTLS library. So any later gnutls call (e.g. during migration,
where we initialize a certificate) will access uninitialized GnuTLS
internal structs and throws an error.
Although, we might now initialize GnuTLS twice, it is safe according
to the documentation:
This function can be called many times,
but will only do something the first time.
This patch creates 2 functions: virNetTLSInit and virNetTLSDeinit
with respect to written above.
If a client had initiated a stream abort, it will have a call
waiting for a reply in the queue. If more data continues to
arrive on the stream, the abort command could mistakenly get
signalled as complete. Remove the code from async data processing
that looked for waiting calls. Add a sanity check to ensure no
async call can ever be marked as needing a reply
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Ensure async data packets can't
trigger a reply
If a stream gets a server initiated abort, the client may still
send an abort request before it receives the server side abort.
This causes the server to send back another abort for the
stream. Since the protocol defines that abort is the last thing
to be sent, the client gets confused by this second abort from
the server. If the stream is already shutdown, just drop any
client requested abort, rather than sending back another message.
This fixes the regression from previous versions.
Tested as follows
In one virsh session
virsh # start foo
virsh # console foo
In other virsh session
virsh # destroy foo
The first virsh session should be able to continue issuing
commands without error. Prior to this patch it saw
virsh # list
error: Failed to list active domains
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
virsh # list
error: Failed to list active domains
error: no call waiting for reply with prog 536903814 vers 1 serial 9
* src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.c: Drop abort requests
for streams which no longer exist
Every active stream results in a reference being held on the
virNetServerClientPtr object. This meant that if a client quit
with any streams active, although all I/O was stopped the
virNetServerClientPtr object would leak. This causes libvirtd
to leak any file handles associated with open streams when a
client quit
To fix this, when we call virNetServerClientClose there is a
callback invoked which lets the daemon release the streams
and thus the extra references
* daemon/remote.c: Add a hook to close all streams
* daemon/stream.c, daemon/stream.h: Add API for releasing
all streams
* src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.h:
Allow registration of a hook to trigger when closing client
When trying to use any SASL authentication for TCP sockets by
setting auth_tls = "sasl" in libvirtd.conf on server side, the
client will hang because of the sasl session relocking other than
dropping the lock when exiting virNetSASLSessionExtKeySize()
* src/rpc/virnetsaslcontext.c: virNetSASLSessionExtKeySize drop the
lock on exit
This patch introduces a internal RPC API "virNetServerClose", which
is standalone with "virNetServerFree". it closes all the socket fds,
and unlinks the unix socket paths, regardless of whether the socket
is still referenced or not.
This is to address regression bug:
