We were using 'Y' to mean exabyte, when the correct abbreviation would be
'E' ('Y' is yettabyte, which is exabyte * 1024 * 1024). While it isn't
strictly backwards compatible, I highly doubt anyone was actually using
this broken behavior, so I don't see any harm in in dropping 'Y' handling.
Recently we introduced O_DSYNC flag when creating raw storage files to
avoid filling all disk cache with dirty pages. However, the patch got
lost when virStorageBackendCreateRaw was reworked using
virFileOperation. Let's use O_DSYNC again.
The daemon-conf test would fail on my system if there was a system libvirtd
running. In the course of troubleshooting that problem, I discovered that the
daemon-conf script would always fail if run by itself because it found the line:
\# that each "PARAMETER = VALUE" line in this file have the parameter
which it mistook for a line containing a parameter. I have changed the test to
avoid mistaking a line containing \"PARAMETER = VALUE\" for a parameter line.
The corrupted config tests turned out to be failing because the test daemon was
discovering the pid file from the running daemon and exiting before it processed
the test config file. Specifying the pid file for the corrupt config tests in
the same way as for the valid config test solved that problem.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainSetAutostart): Avoid a NULL
dereference upon non-SEXPR_VALUE'd on_xend_start. This bug was
introduced by commit 37ce5600c0.
There were a few operations on the storage volume file that were still
being done as root, which will fail if the file is on a root-squashed
NFS share. The result was that attempts to create a storage volume of
type "raw" on a root-squashed NFS share would fail.
This patch uses the newly introduced "hook" function in
virFileOperation to execute all those file operations in the child
process that's run under the uid that owns the file (and, presumably,
has permission to write to the NFS share)
* src/storage/storage_backend.c: use virFileOperation() in
virStorageBackendCreateRaw, turning virStorageBackendCreateRaw()
into a new createRawFileOpHook() hook
It turns out it is also useful to be able to perform other operations
on a file created while running as a different uid (eg, write things
to that file), and possibly to do this to a file that already
exists. This patch adds an optional hook function to the renamed (for
more accuracy of purpose) virFileOperation; the hook will be called
after the file has been opened (possibly created) and gid/mode
checked/set, before closing it.
As with the other operations on the file, if the VIR_FILE_OP_AS_UID
flag is set, this hook function will be called in the context of a
child process forked from the process that called virFileOperation.
The implication here is that, while all data in memory is available to
this hook function, any modification to that data will not be seen by
the caller - the only indication in memory of what happened in the
hook will be the return value (which the hook should set to 0 on
success, or one of the standard errno values on failure).
Another piece of making the function more flexible was to add an
"openflags" argument. This arg should contain exactly the flags to be
passed to open(2), eg O_RDWR | O_EXCL, etc.
In the process of adding the hook to virFileOperation, I also realized
that the bits to fix up file owner/group/mode settings after creation
were being done in the parent process, which could fail, so I moved
them to the child process where they should be.
* src/util/util.[ch]: rename and rework virFileCreate-->virFileOperation,
and redo flags in virDirCreate
* storage/storage_backend.c, storage/storage_backend_fs.c: update the
calls to virFileOperation/virDirCreate to reflect changes in the API,
but don't yet take advantage of the hook.
Fix multiple veth problem.
NETIF setting was overwritten after first CT because any CT could not be
found by name.
* src/openvz/openvz_conf.c src/openvz/openvz_conf.h: add the
openvzGetVEID lookup function
* src/openvz/openvz_driver.c: use it in openvzDomainSetNetwork()
If the hostname as returned by "gethostname" resolves
to "localhost" (as it does with the broken Fedora-12
installer), then live migration will fail because the
source will try to migrate to itself. Detect this
situation up-front and abort the live migration before
we do any real work.
* src/util/util.h src/util/util.c: add a new virGetHostnameLocalhost
with an optional localhost check, and rewire virGetHostname() to use
it
* src/libvirt_private.syms: expose the new function
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: use it in qemudDomainMigratePrepare2()
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainSetAutostart): Rewrite to
avoid dereferencing the result of sexpr_lookup. While in this
particular case, it was guaranteed never to be NULL, due to the
preceding "if sexpr_node(...)" guard, it's cleaner to skip the
sexpr_node call altogether, and also saves a lookup.
This patch sets or unsets the IFF_VNET_HDR flag depending on what device
is used in the VM. The manipulation of the flag is done in the open
function and is only fatal if the IFF_VNET_HDR flag could not be cleared
although it has to be (or if an ioctl generally fails). In that case the
macvtap tap is closed again and the macvtap interface torn.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: pass qemuCmdFlags to
qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
* src/util/macvtap.c src/util/macvtap.h: add vnet_hdr boolean to
openMacvtapTap(), and private function configMacvtapTap()
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add extra qemuCmdFlags when calling
qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
For __virExec() this is a semantic NOP except for when fork()
fails. __virExec() would previously forget to restore the signal mask
in this case; virFork() corrects this behavior.
virFileCreate() and virDirCreate() gain the code to reset the logging
and properly deal with the signal handling race condition.
This also removes a log message that had a typo ("cannot fork o create
file '%s'") - this error is now logged in a more generic manner in
virFork() (more generic, but really just as informative, since the
fact that it's forking to create a file is immaterial to the fact that
it simply can't fork)
* src/util/util.c: use the generic virFork() in the 3 functions
virFork() contains bookkeeping that must be done any time a process
forks. Currently this includes:
1) Call virLogLock() prior to fork() and virLogUnlock() just after,
to avoid a deadlock if some other thread happens to hold that lock
during the fork.
2) Reset the logging hooks and send all child process log messages to
stderr.
3) Block all signals prior to fork(), then either a) reset the signal
mask for the parent process, or b) clear the signal mask for the
child process.
Note that the signal mask handling in __virExec erroneously fails to
restore the signal mask when fork() fails. virFork() fixes this
problem.
Other than this, it attempts to behave as closely to fork() as
possible (including preserving errno for the caller), with a couple
exceptions:
1) The return value is 0 (success) or -1 (failure), while the pid is
returned via the pid_t* argument. Like fork(), if pid < 0 there is
no child process, otherwise both the child and the parent will
return to the caller, and both should look at the return value,
which will indicate if some of the extra processing outlined above
encountered an error.
2) If virFork() returns with pid < 0 or with a return value < 0
indicating an error condition, the error has already been
reported. You can log an additional message if you like, but it
isn't necessary, and may be awkwardly extraneous.
Note that virFork()'s child process will *never* call _exit() - if a
child process is created, it will return to the caller.
* util.c util.h: add virFork() function, based on what is currently
done in __virExec().
Support virtio-serial controller and virtio channel in QEMU backend.
Will output
the following for virtio-serial controller:
-device
virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,max_ports=16,vectors=4
and the following for a virtio channel:
-chardev pty,id=channel0 \
-device
virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=channel0,name=org.linux-kvm.port.0
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add argument output for virtio
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args: Add test for
QEMU command line generation
Add support for virtio-serial by defining a new 'virtio' channel target type
and a virtio-serial controller. Allows the following to be specified in a
domain:
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0' ports='16' vectors='4'/>
<channel type='pty'>
<target type='virtio' name='org.linux-kvm.port.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0'/>
</channel>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add virtio-serial controller and virtio
channel type.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]: Domain parsing/serialization for
virtio-serial controller and virtio channel.
* tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: add domain xml
parsing test
* src/libvirt_private.syms src/qemu/qemu_conf.c:
virDomainDefAddDiskControllers() renamed to
virDomainDefAddImplicitControllers()
Remove virDomainDevicePCIAddressEqual and virDomainDeviceDriveAddressEqual,
which are defined but not used anywhere.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch] src/libvirt_private.syms: Remove
virDomainDevicePCIAddressEqual and virDomainDeviceDriveAddressEqual.
Currently we just error with ex. 'virbr0: No such device'.
Since we are using public API calls here, we need to ensure that any
raised error is properly saved and restored, since API entry points
always reset messages.
virGetLastError returns NULL if no error has been set, not on
allocation error like virSetError assumed. Use virLastErrorObject
instead. This fixes virSetError when no error is currently stored.
Rework and simplification of teardown of the macvtap device.
Basically all devices with the same MAC address and link device are kept
alive and not attempted to be torn down. If a macvtap device linked to a
physical interface with a certain MAC address 'M' is to be created it
will automatically fail if the interface is 'up'ed and another macvtap
with the same properties (MAC addr 'M', link dev) happens to be 'up'.
This will prevent the VM from starting or the device from being attached
to a running VM. Stale interfaces are assumed to be there for some
reason and not stem from libvirt.
In the VM shutdown path, it's assuming that an interface name is always
available so that if the device type is DIRECT it can be torn down
using its name.
* src/util/macvtap.h src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: change of deleting routine
* src/util/macvtap.c: cleanups and change of deleting routine
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: change cleanup on shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: don't delete Macvtap in qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
The QEMU JSON monitor changed balloon commands to return/accept
bytes instead of kilobytes. Update libvirt to cope with this
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Expect/use bytes for ballooning
The recent commit to implement a python version of this function
didn't drop an explicit 'ignore' check in the generator, so this
never ended up in the bindings.
There is no real leak here, but Coverity-Prevent thinks there is.
It does not see that while there are four ways to return from
vshCommandGetToken with VSH_TK_END, none of them results in allocation
of a result.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCommandParse): Add a (currently) useless VIR_FREE,
to ensure that we never leak when vshCommandGetToken returns VSH_TK_END.
