Currently, the lxc implementation invokes 'ip' and 'ifconfig' commands
inside a container using 'virRun'. That has the side effect of requiring
those commands to be present and to function in a manner consistent with
the usage. Some small roots (such as ttylinux) may not have 'ip' or
'ifconfig'.
This patch replaces the use of these commands with usage of
netdevice. The result is that lxc containers do not have to implement
those commands, and lxc in libvirt is only dependent on the netdevice
interface.
I've tested this patch locally against the ubuntu libvirt version enough
to verify its generally sane. I attempted to build upstream today, but
failed with:
/usr/bin/ld:
../src/.libs/libvirt_driver_qemu.a(libvirt_driver_qemu_la-qemu_domain.o):
undefined reference to symbol 'xmlXPathRegisterNs@@LIBXML2_2.4.30
Thats probably a local issue only, but I wanted to get this patch up and
see what others thought of it. This is ubuntu bug

Hi,
I'm seeing an issue with udev and libvirt-lxc. Libvirt-lxc creates
/dev/ptmx as a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. When udev starts up, it
checks the device type, sees ptmx is 'not right', and replaces it
with a 'proper' ptmx.
In lxc, /dev/ptmx is bind-mounted from /dev/pts/ptmx instead of being
symlinked, so udev sees the right device type and leaves it alone.
A patch like the following seems to work for me. Would there be
any objections to this?

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] make ptmx a bind mount rather than symlink
udev on some systems checks the device type of /dev/ptmx, and replaces it if
not as expected. The symlink created by libvirt-lxc therefore gets replaced.
By creating it as a bind mount, the device type is correct and udev leaves it
alone.

The libvirt BlockPull API supports the use of an initial bandwidth limit but the
qemu block_stream API does not. To get the desired behavior we use the two APIs
strung together: first BlockPull, then BlockJobSetSpeed. We can do this at the
driver level to avoid duplicated code in each monitor path.
Signed-off-by: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com>
Due to an unfortunate precedent in qemu, the units for the bandwidth parameter
to block_job_set_speed are different between the text monitor and the qmp
monitor. While the qmp monitor uses bytes/s, the text monitor expects MB/s.
Correct the units for the text interface.

On systems with many pcpus, the sexpr returned by xend can be quite
large for dom0 when it is configured to have #vcpus = #pcpus (default).
E.g. on a 80 pcpu system, where dom0 had 80 vcpus, the sexpr details
for dom0 was 73817 bytes! Increase maximum buffer size to 256k.
xenDaemonDomainFetch() was overwriting errors reported by
xend_get() and xend_req(). E.g. without patch
error: failed Xen syscall xenDaemonDomainFetch failed to find this domain
with patch
error: internal error Xend returned HTTP Content-Length of 73817, which exceeds
maximum of 65536
The 'virsh man' description of send-key was incomplete and used the

Managed save was added in 0.8.0, virDomainCreateWithFlags in 0.8.2,

the query for a managed save image, then it does not have one to
be removed, so the flag can be safely ignored).

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.
When sending outbound stream RPC messages, a callback is
used to re-enable stream data transmission. If the stream
aborts while one of these messages is outstanding, the
stream may have been free'd by the time it is invoked. This
results in a use-after-free error
* daemon/stream.c: Ref-count streams to avoid use-after-free
Parted does not report disk size in 512 byte units, but
rather the disks' logical sector size, which with modern

Introduced by 5e495c8b, except the ones for checking if numa
is supported by host, all the NO_SUPPORT are changed back. For
the ones about numa checking, change them into INTERNAL_ERROR.
If the libxl driver is compiled in, then everytime libvirtd
starts up on a non-Xen Dom0 host, it logs a error message.
Since this is an expected condition, we should not log at
'error' level, only 'info'.
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: Lower log level for certain
expected errors during driver init
When dispatching domain events we will create an XDR struct
containing the event info. Some of this data may be allocated
on the heap and so must be freed. The graphics event dispatcher
had a broken attempt to free one field, but missed others. All
the events have a dom->name string that needs freeing. The code
should have used the xdr_free() procedure for doing all this
* daemon/remote.c: Use xdr_free after dispatching events
It is possible (expected/likely in Fedora 15) for a cgroup controller
to be mounted in multiple locations at the same time, due to bind
mounts. Currently we leak memory if this happens, because we overwrite
the previous 'mountPoint' string. Instead just accept the first match
we find.
* src/util/cgroup.c: Only accept first match for a cgroup
controller mount
The virSecurityManagerSetProcessFDLabel method was introduced

src/security/security_stack.c: Remove SetProcessFDLabel driver
It is not possible to change the label of a TCP socket once it
has been opened. When creating a TCP socket care must be taken
to ensure the socket creation label is set & then cleared.

virSecurityManagerSetSocketLabel
The code for creating a sanlock lockspace accidentally used

There is no reason to forbid pausing an autodestroy domain
(not to mention that 'virsh start --paused --autodestroy'
succeeds in creating a paused autodestroy domain).
Meanwhile, qemu was failing to enforce the API documentation that
autodestroy domains cannot be saved. And while the original
documentation only mentioned save/restore, snapshots are another
form of saving that are close enough in semantics as to make no
sense on one-shot domains.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainSuspend): Drop bogus check.
(qemuDomainSaveInternal, qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Forbid
saves of autodestroy domains.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainCreateWithFlags, virDomainCreateXML):
Document snapshot interaction.
According to qemu-kvm/qerror.c all messages start with a capital
"Device ", but the current code only scans for the lower case "device ".
This results in "virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags()" to not detect locked
CD-ROMs and reporting success even in the case of a failure:

There have been several instances of people having problems with

Back in 2008 when this line of util.h was written, gnulib's verify
module didn't allow the use of multiple verify() in one file
in combination with our choice of gcc -W options. But that has
since been fixed in gnulib, and newer gnulib even maps verify()
to the C1x feature of _Static_assert, which gives even nicer
diagnostics with a new enough compiler, so we might as well go
with the simpler verify().
* src/util/util.h (VIR_ENUM_IMPL): Use simpler verify, now that
gnulib module is smarter.
Commit 3261761 made it possible to use pipes instead of sockets

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);
Domain listing, basic information retrieval and domain life cycle
management is implemented. But currently the domain XML output
lacks the complete devices section.
The driver uses OpenWSMAN to directly communicate with a Hyper-V
server over its WS-Management interface exposed via Microsoft WinRM.
The driver is based on the work of Michael Sievers. This started in
the same master program project group at the University of Paderborn
as the ESX driver.
See Michael's blog for details: http://hyperv4libvirt.wordpress.com/
Add a generator script to generate the structs and serialization
information for OpenWSMAN.
openwsman.h collects workarounds for problems in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6.
There are also disabled sections that would use ws_serializer_free_mem
but can't because it's broken in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6. Patches to fix
this have been posted upstream.
This patch updates the man page about virsh schedinfo command.

When a user migrates a domain by command as
libvirt saves vm's domain XML config in destination host after migration.
But it saves vm->def. Then, the saved XML contains some garbage.
<domain type='kvm' id='50'>
^^^^^^^^
...
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/5'>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Avoid saving unnecessary things by saving persistent vm definition.
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.
