Currently, we need virIsDevMapperDevice() when we build libvirt with
disk or mpath storage drivers. So we should check device-mapper-devel
when we build with disk storage driver but without mpath storage
driver.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. virsh attach-disk domain --source imagefile --target sdb --sourcetype file --driver qemu --subdriver raw
2. virsh detach-device controller.xml # remove scsi controller 0
3. virsh detach-disk domain sdb
error: Failed to detach disk
error: operation failed: detaching scsi0-0-1 device failed: Device 'scsi0-0-1' not found
I think we should not detach a controller when it is used by some other device.

A diff of 'make dist' from in-tree vs. a VPATH build showed
that we were missing docs/api_extension/*.patch files, but
shipping other files that we didn't need.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_extra_files): Don't distribute files we
don't care about.
* docs/Makefile.am (patches): Perform wildcard correctly.
Right now, 'man libvirtd' includes information that depends on
configure results, so it must be generated on the fly and live
in $(builddir); however, requiring pod2man on all end user
machines is overkill. Meanwhile, 'man virsh' doesn't mention
any configure results, so it can be built at 'make dist' time.
If that situation changes in the future, we can generate virsh.1
in the same way that we generate libvirtd.8.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd.8.in): New rule, to run pod2man in
advance of distribution.
(libvirtd.8): Use only sed from tarball.
(EXTRA_DIST): Ship new file.
(libvirtd.pod): Delete unused rule.
(man8_MANS): Let automake know which section to use.
(CLEANFILES, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust to new files.
* tools/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS): Distribute pre-built man
pages, fine since they don't require any substitution.
(virt-xml-validate.1, virt-pki-validate.1): Change input source.
(virsh.1): Build into srcdir.
(CLEANFILES, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust to new build style.

Done mechanically with:
$ git grep -l '\bDEBUG0\? *(' | xargs -L1 sed -i 's/\bDEBUG0\? *(/VIR_&/'
followed by manual deletion of qemudDebug in daemon/libvirtd.c, along
with a single 'make syntax-check' fallout in the same file, and the
actual deletion in src/util/logging.h.
* src/util/logging.h (DEBUG, DEBUG0): Delete.
* daemon/libvirtd.h (qemudDebug): Likewise.
* global: Change remaining clients over to VIR_DEBUG counterpart.
XSLT allows for two ways of generating the output of transformation.
Either implicit, which xsltproc prints to stdout and can be redirected
to a file using -o file. Or explicit, which means the stylesheet
contains <xsl:document> element which specifies where the output should
be saved. This can be used for generating more files by a single run of
xsltproc and -o directory/ can change the directory where the output
files will be stored.
devhelp.xsl is special in that it combines both options in one
stylesheet, which doesn't work well with -o:
xsltproc --nonet -o ./devhelp/ ./devhelp/devhelp.xsl ./libvirt-api.xml
Outputs 4 *.html files into ./devhelp but then tries to write to
./devhelp/ as a file (hence the I/O error) rather than writing output to
the fifth file devhelp/libvirt.devhelp.
This patch modifies devhelp.xsl so that all files are generated using
<xsl:document> element and -o directory/ can be used to override output
directory where those files are saved.
The virConnectPtr struct will cache instances of all other
objects. APIs like virDomainLookupByUUID will return a
cached object, so if you do virDomainLookupByUUID twice in
a row, you'll get the same exact virDomainPtr instance.
This does not have any performance benefit, since the actual
logic in virDomainLookupByUUID (and other APIs returning
virDomainPtr, etc instances) is not short-circuited. All
it does is to ensure there is only one single virDomainPtr
in existance for any given UUID.
The caching has a number of downsides though, all relating
to stale data. If APIs aren't careful to always overwrite
the 'id' field in virDomainPtr it may become out of data.
Likewise for the name field, if a guest is renamed, or if
a guest is deleted, and then a new one created with the
same UUID but different name.
This has been an ongoing, endless source of bugs for all
applications using libvirt from languages with garbage
collection, causing them to get virDomainPtr instances
from long ago with stale data.
The caching is also a waste of memory resources, since
both applications, and language bindings often maintain
their own hashtable caches of object instances.
This patch removes all the hash table caching, so all
APIs return brand new virDomainPtr (etc) object instances.
* src/datatypes.h: Delete all hash tables.
* src/datatypes.c: Remove all object caching code
This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported.
I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.
Two regressions:
Commit df1011ca broke builds for systems that lack devmapper
(non-Linux, as well as Linux with ./autogen.sh --without-libvirtd
and without the libraries present).
Commit ce6fd650 broke cross-compilation, due to a gnulib bug.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for cross-compilation fix.
* src/util/util.c (virIsDevMapperDevice): Provide stub for
platforms not using storage driver.
* configure.ac (devmapper): Arrange to define HAVE_LIBDEVMAPPER_H.
devmapper issue reported by Wen Congyang.
Etienne Gosset reported that libvirt fails to connect to his ESX
server because it failed to parse its malformed host UUID, that
contains an additional space and lacks one hexdigit in the last

Don't treat this as a fatal error, just ignore it.

There were several occurrences of an extra space inserted between
a function name and the ( opening the argument list in
datatypes.c. This is not consistent with the coding style used in
the rest of this file so removing this extra space makes the
code slightly more readable.
Now that the virHash handling functions call virReportOOMError by
themselves when needed, users of the virHash API no longer need to
do it by themselves. Since users of the virHash API were not
consistently calling virReportOOMError after memory failures from
the virHash code, this has the added benefit of making OOM
reporting from this code more consistent and reliable.
The only difference between these 2 functions is that one errors
out when the entry is already present while the other modifies
the existing entry. Add an helper function with a boolean argument
indicating whether existing entries should be updated or not, and
use this helper in both functions.
The code in virHashUpdateEntry and virHashAddEntry is really
similar. However, the latter rebalances the hash table when
one of its buckets contains too many elements while the former
does not. Fix this discrepancy.
This still doesn't fix {html,devhelp}/libvirt-{libvirt-virterror}.html,
but it's progress in the right direction.

The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".
The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).
Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.
I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.
Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

An upcoming patch has a use for a tap device to be created that
doesn't need to be actually put into the "up" state, and keeping it
"down" keeps the output of ifconfig from being unnecessarily cluttered
(ifconfig won't show down interfaces unless you add "-a").
bridge.[ch]: add "up" as an arg to brAddTap()

This is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662
Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
When the <driver> element (and its "name" attribute) was added to the
domain XML's interface element, a "backend" enum was simply added to
the toplevel of the virDomainNetDef struct.
Ignoring the naming inconsistency ("name" vs. "backend"), this is fine
when there's only a single item contained in the driver element of the
XML, but doesn't scale well as we add more attributes that apply to
the backend of the virtio-net driver, or add attributes applicable to
other drivers.
This patch changes virDomainNetDef in two ways:
1) Rename the item in the struct from "backend" to "name", so that
it's the same in the XML and in the struct, hopefully avoiding
confusion for someone unfamiliar with the function of the
attribute.
2) Create a "driver" union within virDomainNetDef, and a "virtio"
struct in that struct, which contains the "name" enum value.
3) Move around the virDomainNetParse and virDomainNetFormat functions
to allow for simple plugin of new attributes without disturbing
existing code. (you'll note that this results in a seemingly
redundant if() in the format function, but that will no longer be
the case as soon as a 2nd attribute is added).
In the future, new attributes for the virtio driver backend can be
added to the "virtio" struct, and any other network device backend that
needs an attribute will have its own struct added to the "driver"
union.
The introduction of the v3 migration protocol, along with
support for migration cookies, will significantly expand
the size of the migration code. Move it all to a separate
file to make it more manageable
The functions are not moved 100%. The API entry points
remain in the main QEMU driver, but once the public
virDomainPtr is resolved to the internal virDomainObjPtr,
all following code is moved.
This will allow the new v3 API entry points to call into the
same shared internal migration functions
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add
qemuDomainFormatXML helper method
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove all migration code
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/qemu/qemu_migration.h: Add

Move the qemudStartVMDaemon and qemudShutdownVMDaemon
methods into a separate file, renaming them to
qemuProcessStart, qemuProcessStop. All helper methods
called by these are also moved & renamed to match
