https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869100 mentioned some
confusion about 'virsh snapshot-list' errors. Clean up a
misleading error message, and add some documentation.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotList): Mention --current
rather than --from when appropriate.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Mention that the named starting

Upstream kernel introduced new sysfs knob "merge_across_nodes" to
specify if pages from different numa nodes can be merged. When set
to 0, only pages which physically reside in the memory area of
same NUMA node can be merged. When set to 1, pages from all nodes
can be merged.
This patch supports the tuning by adding new param field
"shm_merge_across_nodes".
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.
I was using qemu-monitor-command during development, and found it quite
hard to use. Compare the results of this patch on ease of reading:
$ virsh qemu-monitor-command dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'
{"return":{"qemu":{"micro":1,"minor":12,"major":0},"package":"(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"},"id":"libvirt-7683"}
$ virsh qemu-monitor-command --pretty dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'
{
"return": {
"qemu": {
"micro": 1,
"minor": 12,
"major": 0
},
"package": "(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"
},
"id": "libvirt-7674"
}
* tools/virsh-host.c (cmdQemuMonitorCommand): New option.
* tools/virsh.pod (qemu-monitor-command): Document it.
This command uses the new virNetworkUpdate() API to modify an existing
network definition, and optionally have those modifications take
effect immediately without restarting the network.
An example usage:
virsh net-update mynet add-last ip-dhcp-host \
"<host mac='00:11:22:33:44:55' ip='192.168.122.45'/>" \
--live --config
If you like, you can instead put the xml into a file, and call like
this:
virsh net-update mynet add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myxml.xml
--live --config
virsh will autodetect whether the argument is itself an xml element,
or if it's a file, by looking at the first character - the first
character of an xml element is always "<", and the first character of
a file is almost always *not* "<" (in the rare case that it is, the
user could specify "./<filename...").
A --parent-index option is also available (to give the index within a
list of parent objects, e.g. the index of the parent <ip> element when
updating ip-dhcp-host elements), but is optional and at least for now
will probably be used rarely.
--live, --config, and --current options - if you specify --live, only
the live state of the network will be updated. If you also specify
--config, then the persistent configuration will also be updated;
these two commands can be given separately, or both together. If you
don't specify either (you can optionally specify "--current" for the
same effect), then the "current" config will be updated (i.e. if the
network is active, then only its live config is affected, but if the
network is inactive, only the persistent config is affected).
The new command 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk' requests the start
of an asynchronous commit operation across the entire chain of
$disk. Further arguments can fine-tune which portion of the
chain is committed. Existing 'virsh blockjob' commands can then
track the status, change the bandwidth, or abort the commit job.
With a bit more on the command line, 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk
--wait --verbose' can be used for blocking behavior, with visual
feedback on the overall status, and can be canceled with Ctrl-C.
The overall design, including the wait loop logic, borrows heavily
from the existing blockpull command.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCommit): New function.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcommit): Document it.
New command node-memory-tune to get/set the node memory parameters,
only two parameters are allowed to set (pages_to_scan, and sleep_millisecs,
see documents in this patch for more details).
Example of node-memory-tune's output:
Shared memory:
pages_to_scan 100
sleep_millisecs 20
pages_shared 0
pages_sharing 0
pages_unshared 0
pages_volatile 0

virStorageListAllPools is tried first, if it's not supported,
fall back to older APIs.
* New options --persistent, --transient, --autostart, --no-autostart
and --type for pool-list. --persistent or --transient is to filter
the returned pool list by whether the pool is persistent or not.
--autostart or --no-autostart is to filter the returned pool list
by whether the pool is autostarting or not. --type is to filter
the pools by pool types. E.g.
% virsh pool-list --all --persistent --type dir,disk
tools/virsh.pod:
* Add documentations for the new options.
The storage pool's management doesn't relate with a domain, it

When --direct is used when migrating a domain running on a hypervisor
that does not support direct migration (such as QEMU), the caller would
get the following error message:
this function is not supported by the connection driver:
virDomainMigrateToURI2
which is a complete nonsense since qemu driver implements
virDomainMigrateToURI2. This patch would emit a more sensible error in
this case:
Requested operation is not valid: direct migration is not supported
by the connection driver
v2:
- Refactored to use virBuffer
- Refactored to use virXPath wrappers
- Added support for tls-port and password for SPICE
- Added optional flag to disable SPICE password to the URI
- Added support for RDP
- Fixed code reviews
Add a new 'domdisplay' command that provides a URI for VNC, SPICE and
RDP connections. Presently the 'vncdisplay' command provides you with
the port info that QEMU is listening on but there is no counterpart for
SPICE and RDP. Additionally this provides you with the bind address as
specified in the XML, which the existing 'vncdisplay' lacks. For SPICE
connections it supports secure and unsecure channels and optionally
providing the password for the SPICE channel.

Storage is one of the last domains in libvirt where we don't fully
utilize inactive and live XML. Okay, it might be because we don't
have support for that. So implement such support. However, we need
to fallback when talking to old daemon which doesn't support this
new flag called VIR_STORAGE_XML_INACTIVE.
This patch makes use of the newly added api virConnectListAllDomains()
to list domains in virsh.
Virsh now represents lists of domains using an internal structure
vshDomainList. This structure contains the virDomainPtr list as provided
by virConnectListAllDomains() and the count of domains in the list.
For backwards compatibility, the function vshDomainListCollect was added
that tries to enumerate the domains using the new API and if the API is
not supported falls back to the older approach with the two list
functions. The helper function also simulates filtering by all
currently supported flags added with virConnectListAllDomains().
This patch also cleans up the "list" command handler to use the new
helpers and adds new command line flags to make use of filtering.
Previously, to get the name of all snapshots with children, it was
necessary to get the name of all snapshots and then remove the
name of leaf snapshots. This is racy, and somewhat inefficient
compared to planned API additions. We can emulate --no-metadata on
0.9.5-0.9.12, but for now, there is no emulation of --no-leaves.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add new options --no-leaves and
--no-metadata.
(vshSnapshotList): Emulate where possible.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document them.

commit 52d064f42d added
VIR_NETWORK_XML_INACTIVE in order to allow suppressing the
auto-generated list of VFs in network definitions, and a --inactive
flag to virsh net-dumpxml to take advantage of the flag. However, it
missed out on two opportunities:
1) Use INACTIVE to get the current config of the network as it
exists on disk, rather than the currently active config.
2) Add INACTIVE to the flags used for the virsh net-edit command, so
that it won't include the forward-pool interfaces that were
autogenerated, and so that a re-edit of the network prior to
restarting it will show any other edits made since the last restart
of the network. (prior to this patch, if you edited a network a 2nd
time without restarting, all of the previous edits would magically
disappear).
In order to fit with the new #define-based generic edit function in
virsh.c, a new function vshNetworkGetXMLDesc() was added. This
function first tries to call virNetworkGetXMLDesc with the INACTIVE
flag added, then retries without if the first attempt fails (in the
manner expected when the server doesn't support it).
Expose the recent API additions in virsh. Borrows ideas from 'dominfo'
for the general type of information to display.

Rather than further overloading 'blockpull', I decided to create a
new virsh command to expose the new flags of virDomainBlockRebase.
Blocking until the command completes naturally is pointless, since
the block copy job is intended to run indefinitely. Instead, I
made the command support three --wait modes: by default, it runs until
mirroring is started; with --pivot, it pivots as soon as mirroring
is started; and with --finish, it aborts (for a clean copy) as
soon as mirroring is started.
* tools/virsh.c (VSH_CMD_BLOCK_JOB_COPY): New mode.
(blockJobImpl): Support new flags.
(cmdBlockCopy): New command.
(cmdBlockJob): Support new job info, new abort flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcopy, blockjob): Document the new command
and flags.
I'm tired of shell-scripting to wait for completion of a block pull,
when virsh can be taught to do the same. I couldn't quite reuse
vshWatchJob, as this is not a case of a long-running command where
a second thread must be used to probe job status (at least, not unless
I make virsh start doing blocking waits for an event to fire), but it
served as inspiration for my simpler single-threaded loop. There is
up to a half-second delay between sending SIGINT and the job being
aborted, but I didn't think it worth the complexity of a second thread
and use of poll() just to minimize that delay.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdBlockPull): Add new options to wait for
completion.
(blockJobImpl): Add argument.
(cmdBlockJob): Adjust caller.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockjob): Document new mode.
Block job cancellation can take a while. Now that upstream qemu 1.1
has asynchronous block cancellation, we want to expose that to the user.
Therefore, the following updates are made to the virDomainBlockJob API:
A new block job event type VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED is managed by
libvirt. Regardless of the flags used with virDomainBlockJobAbort, this
event will be raised: 1. when using synchronous block_job_cancel (the
event will be synthesized by libvirt), and 2. whenever it is received
from qemu (via asynchronous block-job-cancel). Note that the event
may be detected by libvirt even before the virDomainBlockJobAbort
completes (always true when it is synthesized, but also possible if
cancellation was fast).
A new extension flag VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC is added to the
virDomainBlockJobAbort API. When enabled, this function will allow
(but not require) asynchronous operation (ie, it returns as soon as
possible, which might be before the job has actually been canceled).
When the API is used in this mode, it is the responsibility of the
caller to wait for a VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED event or poll via
the virDomainGetBlockJobInfo API to check the cancellation status.
This patch also exposes the new flag through virsh, and makes virsh
slightly easier to use (--async implies --abort, and lack of any options
implies --info), although it leaves the qemu implementation for later
patches.

The documentation for the flag doesn't clearly state that the flag only
enhances the output and the user needs to specify other flags to list
inactive domains, that are enhanced by this flag.
Currently, we put no strains on escape sequence possibly leaving users
with console that cannot be terminated. However, not all ASCII
characters can be used as escape sequence. Only those falling in
@ - _ can be; implement and document this constraint.
Commit d42a2ff forgot to touch up virsh documentation, and commit
4e9953a mis-spelled the option name.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create, snapshot-create-as): Fix typo
and match recent change in flag meaning.
Right now, it is appallingly easy to cause qemu disk snapshots
to alter a domain then fail; for example, by requesting a two-disk
snapshot where the second disk name resides on read-only storage.
In this failure scenario, libvirt reports failure, but modifies
the live domain XML in-place to record that the first disk snapshot
was taken; and places a difficult burden on the management app
to grab the XML and reparse it to see which disks, if any, were
altered by the partial snapshot.
This patch adds a new flag where implementations can request that
the hypervisor make snapshots atomically; either no changes to
XML occur, or all disks were altered as a group. If you request
the flag, you either get outright failure up front, or you take
advantage of hypervisor abilities to make an atomic snapshot. Of
course, drivers should prefer the atomic means even without the
flag explicitly requested.
There's no way to make snapshots 100% bulletproof - even if the
hypervisor does it perfectly atomic, we could run out of memory
during the followup tasks of updating our in-memory XML, and report
a failure. However, these sorts of catastrophic failures are rare
and unlikely, and it is still nicer to know that either all
snapshots happened or none of them, as that is an easier state to
recover from.

This introduces a new domain state pmsuspended to represent
the domain which has been suspended by guest power management,
e.g. (entered itno s3 state). Because a "running" state could
be confused in this case, one will see the guest is paused
actually while playing. And state "paused" is for the domain
which was paused by virDomainSuspend.
virsh.pod had several instances in which it referred to "the
documentation" which was a little puzzling to me since it is
documentation. Reading the document from end to end makes it clear
that it means a specific URI which was noted previously in the text,
but I had never noticed those URIs in several years of referring to
the man page. This patch adds those URIs to several additional places
in the text.
Currently if the URI passed to virConnectOpen* is NULL, then we
- Look for LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI env var
- Probe for drivers

to KiB, but we can't break existing scripts; oh well, it's no
worse than the same wart of the underlying virDomainBlockResize.

This patch adds support for the newly introduced
VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE and VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_SAFE flags. The console
command now has an optional parameter --force that specifies that the
user wants to forcibly interrupt an ongoing console session and create
a new one. Flag --safe requests that the console should be opened only
if the hypervisor driver supports safe console handling.
The behaviour to this point was that the daemon opened two streams to
the console, that competed for data from the pipe, and the result was
that both of the consoles ended up scrambled.
This patch doesn't modify operation of other commands dealing with
console connections (start, create) as those open connections to newly
started domains making it virtually impossible for another client to race
for the console and steal it.

This patch adds new options to the "virsh list" command enabling
filtering of persistent and transient domains along with the option to

Option --name prints domain names (one per line) instead of the default

an alias for the default behavior.
Aditionally --persistent and/or --transient may be specified to filter
the output of domains.
Commit fad5cd2108 introduced option to
display domain's title in the list command output. There was a mistake
in the virsh man page example for this command stating --note instead of
--title.
When blkdeviotune was first committed in 0.9.8, we had the limitation
that setting one value reset all others. But bytes and iops should
be relatively independent. Furthermore, setting tuning values on
a live domain followed by dumpxml did not output the new settings.

Disk "type" and "device" are generally interesting stuff the
user may want to known, too. To not break any scripts which
parsed the output field, a new option "--details" is introduced
to output the two introduced fields.
Just like command "domblklist", the command extracts "type",
"source", "target", "model", and "MAC" of all virtual interfaces
from domain XML (live or persistent).
When disk snapshots were first implemented, libvirt blindly refused
to allow an external snapshot destination that already exists, since
qemu will blindly overwrite the contents of that file during the
snapshot_blkdev monitor command, and we don't like a default of
data loss by default. But VDSM has a scenario where NFS permissions
are intentionally set so that the destination file can only be
created by the management machine, and not the machine where the
guest is running, so that libvirt will necessarily see the destination
file already existing; adding a flag will allow VDSM to force the file
reuse without libvirt complaining of possible data loss.

Add an option for virsh undefine command, to remove associated storage

If a volume is not part of a storage pool, the user is warned to remove

the image is wiped before removing.
Option --remove-all-storage enables the user to remove all storage. The

I was wondering why 'virsh edit' didn't support the same
'--inactive' option as 'virsh dumpxml'; reading the source

something complex like saving the guest and modifying the
save image.

$ cat /cgroup/blkio/libvirt/qemu/dom/blkio.weight_device
8:0 503
8:16 498
After this patch, an explicit 0 is required to remove a device path
from the XML, and omitting a device path that was previously
specified leaves that device path untouched in the XML, to match
cgroups behavior.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (parseBlkioWeightDeviceStr): Rename...
(qemuDomainParseDeviceWeightStr): ...and use correct type.
(qemuDomainSetBlkioParameters): After parsing string, modify
rather than replacing existing table.
* tools/virsh.pod (blkiotune): Tweak wording.
Support virsh command blkdeviotune. Can set or query a block disk
I/O throttle setting.
