05e2fc51d1 storage: Do not break the whole vol lookup process in the middle
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: As virStorageVolLookupByPath lookups
all the pool objs of the drivers, breaking when failing on getting
the stable path of the pool will just breaks the whole lookup process,
it can cause the API fails even if the vol exists indeed. It won't get
any benefit. This patch is to fix it.

f887334dcf Add unsafe cache mode support for disk driver
QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.

  * Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
    as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
    is supported.

  * Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.

cb61009236 Fix synchronous reading of stream data
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

c4111bd0d9 virsh: Improve virsh manual for virsh memtune command
Commit 0a22f54 added --min-guarantee option for the memtune command.
This option is supported only by the ESX hypervisor. This patch adds a
statement about this fact, to prevent user confusion.

This patch also adds explanation how to clear/set to unlimited the
memory tunables. (documments the -1 value).

466f902446 virsh: fix regression in argv parsing
Prior to commit 85d2810, we had an issue where:

snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec spec --diskspec spec

failed to parse the second spec, because the first spec had marked
that option as no longer requiring an argument.

In commit 85d2810, I fixed it by making argv options no longer mark
the option as seen.  But this in turn breaks mandatory argv options,
which now complain that the argv option is missing.

This patch reverts that part of 85d2810, and instead replaces it with
fixes to no longer clear opts_need_arg of an argv argument.

* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefGetOption, vshCmddefGetData)
(vshCommandParse): Fix option parsing for required argv option.
(vshCmddefOptParse): Check that argv option is last.

2f0595244b virsh: More friendly err if no pool is specified for looking up a vol
There are 3 ways to lookup a volume, only virStorageVolLookupByName
needs pool object. So if no --pool is specified, it will tries to
get the volume via virStorageVolLookupByPath/virStorageVolLookupByKey.

But if all 3 ways fails, and no --pool is specified, a friendly
error might help the user get right way quickly.

bc4e5b43c2 storage: Wait udev events are handled before removing lvm vol
Related #BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702260.

There are two problems described in the BZ:
1) "Can't remove open logical volume".
2) "Unable to deactivate logical volume "foo""

This patch just intends to fix 2), as 1) is expected if the vol
is still used by something, and you never known if "lvchange -an"
will fail or not either (sometime, it will succeed, sometimes not).
We'd better not look for trouble, :-)

For 2), that's caused by race between lvremove and udev event handling,
the only workable way now is to wait the events handling are finished,
though it might introduce latencies, as "udevadmin settle" exits
after *all* events are handled, it's the only way we can fix
the racing in libvirt layer.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570359 for more
details.

3abadf82d7 qemu: Avoid loop of fake reboots
Once virDomainReboot is called for a domain, guest OS initiated shutdown
would always result in reboot instead of shutdown. Only
virDomainShutdown would actually shutd such domain down. That's because
we forgot to reset fakeReboot flag once we asked the domain to reboot.

f84aedad09 qemu: Fix shutdown regression with buggy qemu
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.

This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".

675464b183 Fix crash on events due to allocation errors
remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob, remoteRelayDomainEventIOError,
remoteRelayDomainEventIOErrorReason and remoteRelayDomainEventGraphics
were using const string directly in rpc structure, before calling
remoteDispatchDomainEventSend(). But that routine now frees up all
the pointed allocated memory from the rpc structure and we end up
with a double free.
This now strdup() all the strings passed and provide mem_error goto
labels to be used when an allocation error occurs.
Note that the cleanup isn't completely finished because all relaying
function also call make_nonnull_domain() which also allocate a string
and never handle the error case. This patches doesn't try to address
this as this is only error correctness a priori and touches far more
functions in this module:

19ff0ddfbb Update to require sanlock 1.8 for license compliance
Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.

For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8

* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
  and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and

b4c3be5943 conf: Assign newDef of active domain as persistent conf if it is NULL
Libvirt loads the domain conf from status XML if it's running when
starting up. The problem is there is no record of the original conf.
(dom->newDef is NULL here).

So libvirt won't be able to restore the domain conf to original one
when destroying/shutdown. E.g.

1) attach a device without "--persistent"
2) restart libvirtd
3) destroy domain
4) start domain

One will see the the disk still exists.

This patch is to fix the peoblem by assigning persistent domain conf
to dom->newDef if it's NULL and the domain is running.

43c2641c18 snapshot: allow disk snapshots of qcow2 disks
For all types of disks other than qcow2, we were requesting that
SELinux labeling visit the new file as if it were qcow2, which
means labeling would try to find the backing files of an empty file.
And for a pre-existing qcow2 disk, we were passing NULL, which meant
that labelling tried to probe the file type (and if probing is
disabled, per the default qemu.conf, this made snapshots fail).
What we really want is to make SELinux labeling visit the new
file as raw; it will later be converted to qcow2 if qemu successfully
made the snapshot.

Mingw lacks fsync, but gnulib provides that.  Meanwhile, gnulib does

8e44e5593e Prevent crash from dlclose() of libvirt.so
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.

To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt

d2d6776342 qemu: Introduce shutdown reason for paused state
Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is

96fc478417 qemu: Prevent disk corruption on domain shutdown
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.

By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.

Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
