RHEL-5 Xen doesn't support the old style vnc configuration. In sexpr, we
can't really check it with rhel5-api turned on. However, for XM
configuration files it's sufficient to use cfg version 1 instead of 2.
The most common cause of errors with rhel5-api turn on was missing
"(type ioemu)" in sexpr or its equivalent in XM configuration file. This
happens because the presence of that part in sexpr (or cfg) depends on
xen version the host is running. Let's avoid it by explicitly specifying
interface model which ensures "type ioemu" will always be emitted.
This patch adds
<model type='e1000'/>
withing the interface element in all affected xml files. And
(model 'e1000')
to all corresponding sexpr files with similar fix to cfg files. Such
configuration works regardless on Xen version.
* src/xenapi/xenapi_driver.c (xenapiDomainGetInfo): Avoid using
XEN_VM_POWER_STATE_UNKNOWN, which disappeared in newer xenapi.
* src/xenapi/xenapi_utils.c (mapPowerState): Likewise.
Previously QEMU enabled KQEMU by default and had -no-kqemu.
0.11.x switched to requiring -enable-kqemu. 0.12.x dropped
kqemu entirely. This patch adds support for -enable-kqemu
so 0.11.x works. It replaces a huge set of if() with a
switch() to make the code a bit more readable.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Support
-enable-kqemu
With the previous storage pool UUID source not all storage pools
had a proper UUID, especially GSX storage pools. The mount path
is unique per host and cannot change during the lifetime of the
datastore. Therefore, it's MD5 sum can be used as UUID.
Use gnulib's crypto/md5 module to generate the MD5 sum.
Xen supports on_crash actions coredump-{destroy,restart}. libvirt
cannot parse config returned by xend that contains either of these
actions
xen52 # xm li -l test | grep on_crash
(on_crash coredump-restart)
xen52 # virsh dumpxml test
error: internal error unknown lifecycle type coredump-restart
This patch adds a new virDomainLifecycleCrash enum and appends
the new options to existing destroy, restart, preserve, and
rename-restart options.
We already filled the PCI address structure when we checked whether it's
free or not, so let's just use the structure here instead of filling it
again.
I wrote a patch to add support for listing the Vendor and Model of a
storage pool in the storage pool XML. This would allow vendor
extensions of specific devices. The patch includes a test for the new
attributes as well.

Doing `virsh schedinfo rhel5u3 --cap 65535' the hypervisor does the
call, but does not change the value nor raise an error. Best is just to
consider it's not in the allowed values. The problem is that the error
won't be output since the xend driver will then be called and raise an
error
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: unsupported
in xendConfigVersion < 4
which will override the useful information from
xenUnifiedDomainSetSchedulerParameters(). So best is to also invert the
order in which the xen sub-drivers are called.
* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c: mark 65535 cap value as out of bound
* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c: reverse the order of the calls to the xen
sub drivers to get the error message if needed
Some kernels, such as the one used in RHEL-5, have vport_create and
vport_delete operation files in /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN directory
instead of /sys/class/fc_host/hostN. Let's check both paths for
compatibility reasons.
This also removes unnecessary '/' characters from sysfs paths containing
LINUX_SYSFS_FC_HOST_PREFIX.
NodeDeviceCreateXML and NodeDeviceDestroy methods added for NPIV were
using the wrong privateData field for the remote driver. This doesn't
impact KVM, since the remote driver handles everything, thus
privateData == devMonPrivateData. It does impact Xen though, because
the remote driver only handles a subset of methods and thus
privateData != devMonPrivateData.
In case an optional object cannot be found the lookup function is
left early and the cleanup code is not executed.
This pattern occurs in some other functions too.
The current version of the qemu managed save implementation
is subject to a race where the domain shuts down between
the time that we start the command and the time that we
actually try to do the save. Close this race by making
qemuDomainSaveFlags() expect both the driver and the passed-in
vm object to be locked before executing.

Add documentation for features added a while ago.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Time keeping): Update documentation
of <clock> element to match 0.8.0 addition.
When reconnecting to existing VMs, we re-reserved only those PCI
addresses which were explicitly mentioned in domain XML. Since some
addresses are always reserved (e.g., 0:0:0 and 0:0:1), we need to handle
those too.
Also all this should only be done if device flag is supported by qemu.
In this patch I am extending and fixing the nwfilter module's reload support to stop all ongoing threads (for learning IP addresses of interfaces) and rebuild the filtering rules of all interfaces of all VMs when libvirt is started. Now libvirtd rebuilds the filters upon the SIGHUP signal and libvirtd restart.
About the patch: The nwfilter functions require a virConnectPtr. Therefore I am opening a connection in qemudStartup, which later on needs to be closed outside where the driver lock is held since otherwise it ends up in a deadlock due to virConnectClose() trying to lock the driver as well.
I have tested this now for a while with several machines running and needing the IP address learner thread(s). The rebuilding of the firewall rules seems to work fine following libvirtd restart or a SIGHUP. Also the termination of libvirtd worked fine.
floppy0.present defaults to true. Therefore, it needs to be
explicitly set to false when the XML config doesn't specify the
corresponding floppy device.
Also update tests accordingly.
I changed virStorage[Open|Close] to virVIOSDriver[Open|Close] so
the network driver can use it - since the network driver deals
with Open/Close in the same way.
This patch does two things:
* It makes umlConnectTapDevice ask brAddTap for a persistent tap by
passing it a NULL tapfd argument.
* Stops umlConnectTapDevice from immediately dismantling the bridge
it just set up.

When passing a NULL tapfd argument to brAddTap, we need to close the fd
of the tap device. If we don't, libvirt will keep the fd open
indefinitely and renders the the guest unable to configure its side of
the tap device.

If umlBuildCommandLineChr fails (e.g. due to an unsupported chardev
type), it returns NULL. umlBuildCommandLine does not check for this and
sets this as an argument on the comand line, effectively ending the
argument list. This patch checks for this case and sets the chardev to
"none".

When sniffing the network traffic, discard class D and E IP addresses when sniffing traffic. This was a reason why filters were not correctly rebuilt on VMs on the local 192.* network when libvirt was restarted and those VMs did not use a DHCP request to get its IP address.
While testing the SIGHUP handling and reloading of the nwfilter driver, I found that when the filters are rebuilt and mutlipe threads handled the individual interfaces, concurrently running multiple external bash scripts causes strange failures even though the executed ebtables commands are working on different tables for different interfaces. I cannot say for sure where the concurrency problems are caused, but introducing this lock definitely helps.
Since the qemu process is running as qemu:qemu, it can't actually
look at the unix socket in /var/run/libvirt/qemu which is owned by
root and has permission 700. Move the unix socket to
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu, which is already owned by qemu:qemu.

The problem is that on the source of the migration, libvirtd
is responsible for creating the unix socket over which the data
will flow. Since libvirtd is running as root, this file will
be created as root. When the qemu process running as qemu:qemu
goes to access the unix file to write data to it, it will get
permission denied and fail. Make sure to change the owner
of the unix file to qemu:qemu.

This patch fixes a couple of complaints from valgrind when tickling libvirtd with SIGHUP.
The first two files contain fixes for memory leaks. The 3rd one initializes an uninitialized variable. The 4th one is another memory leak.
