Tuning NUMA or network interface parameters requires root
privileges to manage cgroups. Thus an attempt to set some of these
parameters in session mode on a running domain should be invalid
followed by an error. An example might be memory tuning which raises
an error in such case.
The following behavior in session mode will be present after applying
this patch:
Tuning | SET | GET |
----------|---------------|--------|
NUMA | shut off only | always |
Memory | never | never |
Interface | never | always |

The documentation for the restore hook states that returning an empty

checking the returned string by checking the string instead of the
contents. Use the new helper to check if the string is empty.

If VM is configured with many devices(including passthrough devices)
and large memory, libvirtd will take seconds(in the worst case) to
wait for monitor. In this period the qemu process may run on any
PCPU though I intend to pin emulator to the specified PCPU in xml
configuration.
Actually qemu process takes high cpu usage during vm startup.
So this is not the strict CPU isolation in this case.

To allow live modification of device backends in qemu libvirt needs to
be able to hot-add/remove "objects". Add monitor backend functions to
allow this.
This function will be used for hot-add/remove of RNG backends,
IOThreads, memory backing objects, etc.
Our qemu monitor code has a converter from key-value pairs to a json
value object. I want to re-use the code later and having it part of the
monitor command generator is inflexible. Split it out into a separate
helper.
When enabling the migration_address option, by default it is
set to "127.0.0.1", but it's not a valid address for migration.
so we should add verification and set the default migration_address

This patch fills in the functionality of
processNicRxFilterChangedEvent(). It now checks if it is appropriate
to respond to the NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event (based on device type
and configuration) and takes appropriate action. Currently it checks
if the guest interface has been configured with
trustGuestRxFilters='yes', and if the host side device is macvtap. If
so, and the MAC address on the guest has changed, the MAC address of
the macvtap device is changed to match.
The result of this is that networking from the guest will continue to
work if the mac address of a macvtap-connected network device is
changed from within the guest, as long as trustGuestRxFilters='yes'
(previously changing the MAC address in the guest would break
networking).
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED is sent by qemu any time a NIC driver in the
guest modified the NIC's RX Filter (for example, if the MAC address of
the NIC is changed by the guest).
This patch doesn't do anything useful with that event; it just sets up
all the plumbing to get news of the event into a worker thread with
all proper locking/reference counting, and provide an easy place to
add in desired functionality.
See src/qemu/EVENTHANDLERS.txt for information/instructions on adding
a libvirt-internal handler for a qemu event (using
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED as an example).
This text was in the commit log for the patch that added the event
handler for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED, and John Ferlan expressed a desire
that the information not be "lost", so I've put it into a file in the
qemu directory, hoping that it might catch the attention of future
writers of handlers for qemu events.
This function can be called at any time to get the current status of a
guest's network device rx-filter. In particular it is useful to call
after libvirt recieves a NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event - this event only
tells you that something has changed in the rx-filter, the details are
retrieved with the query-rx-filter monitor command (only available in
the json monitor). The command sent to the qemu monitor looks like this:
{"execute":"query-rx-filter", "arguments": {"name":"net2"} }'
and the results will look something like this:
{
"return": [
{
"promiscuous": false,
"name": "net2",
"main-mac": "52:54:00:98:2d:e3",
"unicast": "normal",
"vlan": "normal",
"vlan-table": [
42,
0
],
"unicast-table": [
],
"multicast": "normal",
"multicast-overflow": false,
"unicast-overflow": false,
"multicast-table": [
"33:33:ff:98:2d:e3",
"01:80:c2:00:00:21",

"33:33:ff:98:2d:e2",
"01:00:5e:00:00:01",
"33:33:00:00:00:01"
],
"broadcast-allowed": false
}
],
"id": "libvirt-14"
}
This is all parsed from JSON into a virNetDevRxFilter object for
easier consumption. (unicast-table is usually empty, but is also an
array of mac addresses similar to multicast-table).
(NB: LIBNL_CFLAGS was added to tests/Makefile.am because virnetdev.h
now includes util/virnetlink.h, which includes netlink/msg.h when
appropriate. Without LIBNL_CFLAGS, gcc can't find that file (if
libnl/netlink isn't available, LIBNL_CFLAGS will be empty and
virnetlink.h won't try to include netlink/msg.h anyway).)
Prior patch removed the need for the virConnectPtr in the unplug
detach host path which caused ripple effect to remove in multiple
callers. The previous patch just left things as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED -
this patch will remove the variable.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141732
Introduced by commit id '8f76ad99' the logic to detach a scsi_host
device (SCSI or iSCSI) fails when attempting to remove the 'drive'
because as I found in my investigation - the DelDevice takes care of
that for us.
The investigation turned up commits to adjust the logic for the
qemuMonitorDelDevice and qemuMonitorDriveDel processing for interfaces
(commit id '81f76598'), disk bus=VIRTIO,SCSI,USB (commit id '0635785b'),
and chr devices (commit id '55b21f9b'), but nothing with the host devices.
This commit uses the model for the previous set of changes and applies
it to the hostdev path. The call to qemuDomainDetachHostSCSIDevice will
return to qemuDomainDetachThisHostDevice handling either the audit of
the failure or the wait for the removal and then call into
qemuDomainRemoveHostDevice for the event, removal from the domain hostdev
list, and audit of the removal similar to other paths.
NOTE: For now the 'conn' param to +qemuDomainDetachHostSCSIDevice is left
as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED. Removing requires a cascade of other changes to be
left for a future patch.

This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices. This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
- For shmem device using a server:
<shmem name='shmem0'>
<server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
<msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
</shmem>
- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:
<shmem name='shmem1'>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
</shmem>
Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:
<shmem name='shmem1/>
<shmem name='shmem2'>
<server/>
</shmem>

Aeons ago (commit 34dcbbb4, v0.8.2), we added a new libvirt event
(VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR_REASON) in order to tell the user WHY
the guest halted. This is because at least VDSM wants to react
differently to ENOSPC events (resize the lvm partition to be larger,
and resume the guest as if nothing had happened) from all other events
(I/O is hosed, throw up our hands and flag things as broken). At the
time this was done, downstream RHEL qemu added a vendor extension
'__com.redhat_reason', which would be exactly one of these strings:
"enospc", "eperm", "eio", and "eother". In our stupidity, we exposed
those exact strings to clients, rather than an enum, and we also
return "" if we did not have access to a reason (which was the case
for upstream qemu).
Fast forward to now: upstream qemu commit c7c2ff0c (will be qemu 2.2)
FINALLY adds a 'nospace' boolean, after discussion with multiple
projects determined that VDSM really doesn't care about distinction
between any other error types. So this patch converts 'nospace' into
the string "enospc" for compatibility with RHEL clients that were
already used to the downstream extension, while leaving the reason
blank for all other cases (no change from the status quo).

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.

When trying to update bandwidth limits on a running domain, limits get
updated in our internal structures, however XML parser reads
bandwidth limits from network 'actual' definition. Committing this patch
it is now available to update bandwidth 'actual' definition as well,
thus updating domain runtime XML.
If we don't properly clean up all processes in the
machine-<vmname>.scope systemd won't remove the cgroup and subsequent vm
starts fail with
'CreateMachine: File exists'
Additional processes can e.g. be added via
echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/machine.slice/machine-${VMNAME}.scope/tasks
but there are other cases like
http://bugs.debian.org/761521
Invoke TerminateMachine to be on the safe side since systemd tracks the
cgroup anyway. This is a noop if all processes have terminated already.
Management software wants to be able to allocate disk space on demand.
To support this they need keep track of the space occupation of the
block device. This information is reported by qemu as part of block
stats.
This patch extend the block information in the bulk stats with the
allocation information.
To keep the same behaviour a helper is extracted from
qemuMonitorJSONGetBlockExtent in order to get per-device allocation
information.

The current block stats code matched up the disk name with the actual
stats by the order in the data returned from qemu. This unfortunately
isn't right as qemu may return the disks in any order. Fix this by
returning a hash of stats and index them by the disk alias.
Commit fba6bc4 introduced the non-migratable invtsc feature,
breaking save/migration with host-model and host-passthrough.
On hosts with this feature present it was automatically included
in the CPU definition, regardless of QEMU support.
Commit de0aeaf stopped including it by default for host-model,
but failed to fix host-passthrough.
This commit ignores checking of CPU features with host-passthrough,
since we don't pass them to QEMU (only -cpu host is passed),
allowing domains using host-passthrough that were saved with
the broken version of libvirtd to be restored.
