Excessive memory balloon inflation can cause invocation of OOM-killer,
when Linux is under severe memory pressure. QEMU memballoon device
has a feature to release some memory at the last moment before some
process will be get killed by OOM-killer.
Introduce a new optional balloon device attribute 'autodeflate' to
enable or disable this feature.

Using more than 4TiB of memory per NUMA node would not be possible to
express in the XML without violating the schema. Not that such boxes
would be common, but we should use a longer type at this point.
The pattern is not necessary since libvirt redefines the type already in
basictypes.rng with the same pattern.

'model' attribute was added to a panic device but only one panic
device is allowed. This patch changes panic device presence
from 'optional' to 'zeroOrMore'.
Libvirt already has two types of panic devices - pvpanic and pSeries firmware.
This patch introduces the 'model' attribute and a new type of panic device.
'isa' model is for ISA pvpanic device.
'pseries' model is a default value for pSeries guests.
'hyperv' model is the new type. It's used for Hyper-V crash.
Schema and docs are updated for the new attribute.
Adjust the config code so that it does not enforce that target memory
node is specified. To avoid breakage, adjust the qemu memory hotplug
config checker to disallow such config for now.
Adds a new interface type using UDP sockets, this seems only applicable
to QEMU but have edited tree-wide to support the new interface type.
The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local
address), this then maps into the following xml and qemu call.
<interface type='udp'>
<mac address='52:54:00:5c:67:56'/>
<source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>
<local address='127.0.0.1' port='22222'/>
</source>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
QEMU call:
-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222
Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.

This controller can be connected only to a port on a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. It provides a single hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device, as well as any device requiring a
pcie-*-port (the only current example of such a device is the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).
This controller can be connected only to a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-downstream-port (which will be added in a later patch),
which is the reason for the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_PORT. A pcie-switch-upstream-port provides
32 ports (slot=0 to slot=31) on the downstream side, which can only
have pci controllers of model "pcie-switch-downstream-port" plugged
into them, which is the reason for the other new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_SWITCH.
This controller can be connected (at domain startup time only - not
hotpluggable) only to a port on the pcie root complex ("pcie-root" in
libvirt config), hence the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_ROOT. It provides a hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device.
New attributes must be added to the controller <target> subelement for
this - chassis and port are guest-visible option values that will be
set by libvirt with values derived from the controller's index and pci
address information.
There are some configuration options to some types of pci controllers
that are currently automatically derived from other parts of the
controller's configuration. For example, in qemu a pci-bridge
controller has an option that is called "chassis_nr"; up until now
libvirt has always set chassis_nr to the index of the pci-bridge. So
this:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'/>
will always result in:
-device pci-bridge,chassis_nr=2,...
on the qemu commandline. In the future we may decide there is a better
way to derive that option, but even in that case we will need for
existing domains to retain the same chassis_nr they were using in the
past - that is something that is visible to the guest so it is part of
the guest ABI and changing it would lead to problems for migrating
guests (or just guests with very picky OSes).
The <target> subelement has been added as a place to put the new
"chassisNr" attribute that will be filled in by libvirt when it
auto-generates the chassisNr; it will be saved in the config, then
reused any time the domain is started:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'>
<model type='pci-bridge'/>
<target chassisNr='2'/>
</controller>
The one oddity of all this is that if the controller configuration
is changed (for example to change the index or the pci address
where the controller is plugged in), the items in <target> will
*not* be re-generated, which might lead to conflict. I can't
really see any way around this, but fortunately if there is a
material conflict qemu will let us know and we will pass that on
to the user.
This new subelement is used in PCI controllers: the toplevel
*attribute* "model" of a controller denotes what kind of PCI
controller is being described, e.g. a "dmi-to-pci-bridge",
"pci-bridge", or "pci-root". But in the future there will be different
implementations of some of those types of PCI controllers, which
behave similarly from libvirt's point of view (and so should have the
same model), but use a different device in qemu (and present
themselves as a different piece of hardware in the guest). In an ideal
world we (i.e. "I") would have thought of that back when the pci
controllers were added, and used some sort of type/class/model
notation (where class was used in the way we are now using model, and
model was used for the actual manufacturer's model number of a
particular family of PCI controller), but that opportunity is long
past, so as an alternative, this patch allows selecting a particular
implementation of a pci controller with the "name" attribute of the
<model> subelement, e.g.:
<controller type='pci' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge' index='1'>
<model name='i82801b11-bridge'/>
</controller>
In this case, "dmi-to-pci-bridge" is the kind of controller (one that
has a single PCIe port upstream, and 32 standard PCI ports downstream,
which are not hotpluggable), and the qemu device to be used to
implement this kind of controller is named "i82801b11-bridge".
Implementing the above now will allow us in the future to add a new
kind of dmi-to-pci-bridge that doesn't use qemu's i82801b11-bridge
device, but instead uses something else (which doesn't yet exist, but
qemu people have been discussing it), all without breaking existing
configs.
(note that for the existing "pci-bridge" type of PCI controller, both
the model attribute and <model> name are 'pci-bridge'. This is just a
coincidence, since it turns out that in this case the device name in
qemu really is a generic 'pci-bridge' rather than being the name of
some real-world chip)

Defining a domain with a SCSI disk attached via a hostdev
tag and a source address unit value longer than two digits
causes an error when editing the domain with virsh edit,
even if no changes are made to the domain definition.
The error suggests invalid XML, somewhere:
# virsh edit lmb_guest
error: XML document failed to validate against schema:
Unable to validate doc against /usr/local/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng
Extra element devices in interleave
Element domain failed to validate content
The virt-xml-validate tool fails with a similar error:

Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
lmb_guest.xml:17: element devices: Relax-NG validity error :

lmb_guest.xml fails to validate
The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long. Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits. Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

Since the reference unit and target fields are used in
several places in the XML schema, create a separate one
specific for SCSI Logical Units that will permit the
greater length. This permits both the validation utility
and the virsh edit command to succeed when a hostdev
tag is included.

A new feature that can be turned on or off.
The QEMU machine vmport option allows to set the VMWare IO port
emulation. This emulation is useful for absolute pointer input when the
guest has vmware input drivers, and is enabled by default for kvm.
However it is unnecessary for Spice-enabled VM, since the agent already
handles absolute pointer and multi-monitors. Furthermore, it prevents
Spice from switching to relative input since the regular ps/2 pointer
driver is replaced by the vmware driver. It is thus advised to disable
vmport when using a Spice VM. This will permit the Spice client to
switch from absolute to relative pointer, as it may be required for
certain games or applications.
Adding a new XML element 'iothreadids' in order to allow defining
specific IOThread ID's rather than relying on the algorithm to assign
IOThread ID's starting at 1 and incrementing to iothreads count.
This will allow future patches to be able to add new IOThreads by
a specific iothread_id and of course delete any exisiting IOThread.
Each iothreadids element will have 'n' <iothread> children elements
which will have attribute "id". The "id" will allow for definition
of any "valid" (eg > 0) iothread_id value.
On input, if any <iothreadids> <iothread>'s are provided, they will
be marked so that we only print out what we read in.
On input, if no <iothreadids> are provided, the PostParse code will
self generate a list of ID's starting at 1 and going to the number
of iothreads defined for the domain (just like the current algorithm
numbering scheme). A future patch will rework the existing algorithm
to make use of the iothreadids list.
On output, only print out the <iothreadids> if they were read in.
According to docs, using 'lun' as a value for device attribute is only valid
with disk types 'block' and 'network'. However current RNG schema also allows

This patch preemptively forbids use of the <memory> device in individual
drivers so the users are warned right away that the device is not

Add a XML element that will allow to specify maximum supportable memory
and the count of memory slots to use with memory hotplug.
To avoid possible confusion and misuse of the new element this patch
also explicitly forbids the use of the maxMemory setting in individual

support is implemented.

Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.
To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).
Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was

In our RNG schema we do allow multiple (different) seclabels per-domain,
but don't allow this for devices, yet we neither have a check in our XML parser,
nor in a post-parse callback. In that case we should allow multiple
(different) seclabels for devices as well.
There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.
Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay

addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This

<host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off'
ecn='off' ufo='off'/>
<guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/>

of the virtio-net device.
For tuning the network, alternative devices
for creating tap and vhost devices can be specified via:
<backend tap='/dev/net/tun' vhost='/dev/net-vhost'/>
I noticed this with the recent iothread pinning code, but the
problem existed longer than that. The XML validation required
users to supply <cputune> children in a strict order, even though
there was no conceptual reason why they can't occur in any order.

Add an option 'iothreadpin' to the <cpuset> to allow for setting the
CPU affinity for each IOThread.
The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to
assign each iothread to a specific CPU, although iothreads ids start
at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.
When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.
Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

Add a new disk "driver" attribute "iothread" to be parsed as the thread
number for the disk to use. In order to more easily facilitate the usage
and configuration of the iothread, a "zero" for the attribute indicates
iothreads are not supported for the device and a positive value indicates
the specific thread to try and use.
Introduce XML to allowing adding iothreads to the domain. These can be
used by virtio-blk-pci devices in order to assign a specific thread to
handle the workload for the device. The iothreads are the official
implementation of the virtio-blk Data Plane that's been in tech preview
for QEMU.
QEMU 2.1 added support for the kvm=off option to the -cpu command,
allowing the KVM hypervisor signature to be hidden from the guest.
This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
guest as well as allowing certain drivers which test for the
hypervisor to load. Domain XML syntax is as follows:
<domain type='kvm>
...
<features>
...
<kvm>
<hidden state='on'/>
</kvm>
</features>

Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).
The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
<host name='example.org' port='3260'/>
<auth username='myname'>
<secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>
</auth>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='2' unit='5'/>
</hostdev>
The controller element will mimic the existing scsi_host code insomuch
as when 'lsi' and 'virtio-scsi' are used.
A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the
same way as block copy jobs, it is easiest to track all bookkeeping
for the commit job by reusing the <mirror> element. This patch
adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>. Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit). It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment. In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job. Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.
A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion. But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job. Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job. Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.
Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

Added <capabilities> in the <features> section of LXC domains
configuration. This section can contain elements named after the

<mknod state="on"/>, keep CAP_MKNOD capability
<sys_chroot state="off"/> drop CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability
Users can restrict or give more capabilities than the default using
this mechanism.
LXC network devices can now be assigned a custom NIC device name on the
container side. For example, this is configured with:
<interface type='network'>
<source network='default'/>
<guest dev="eth1"/>
</interface>
In this example the network card will appear as eth1 in the guest.

In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result. When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements. With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field. This will be useful when we have tuning settings for
particular guest NUMA node.

This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.
The XML looks like:
<interface type='vhostuser'>
<mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1a'/>
<source type='unix' path='/tmp/vhost.sock' mode='server'/>
<model type='virtio'/>

Commit 7c6fc39 introduced a regression in the XML produced for older
clients. The argument at the time was that clients shouldn't be
depending on output-only data for something that is only going to
be triggered for a transient guest; but John Ferlan reported that
the automated testsuite was such a client. It's better to be safe
than sorry by guaranteeing back-compat cruft. Note that later
patches will be using <mirror> for active block commit, but there
we don't have to worry about back-compat.

Now that we track a disk mirror as a virStorageSource, we might
as well update the XML to theoretically allow any type of
mirroring destination (not just a local file). A later patch
will also be reusing <mirror> to track the block commit of the
top layer of a chain, which is another case where libvirt needs
to update the backing chain after the job is finally pivoted,
and since backing chains can have network backing files as the
destination to commit into, it makes more sense to display that
in the XML.
This patch changes output-only XML; it was already documented
that <mirror> does not affect a domain definition at this point
(because qemu doesn't provide persistent bitmaps yet). Any
application that was starting a block copy job with older libvirt
and then relying on the domain XML to determine if it was
complete will no longer be able to access the file= and format=
attributes of mirror that were previously used. However, this is
not going to be a problem in practice: the only time a block copy
job works is on a transient domain, and any app that is managing
a transient domain probably already does enough of its own
bookkeeping to know which file it is mirroring into without
having to re-read it from the libvirt XML. The one thing that
was likely to be used in a mirroring job was the ready=
attribute, which is unchanged. Meanwhile, I made sure the schema
and parser still accept the old format, even if we no longer
output it, so that upgrading from an older version of libvirt is
seamless.
