7e94acd4fc Introduce virReportError macro for general error reporting
Nearly every source file does something like

  #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_FOO
  #define virFooReportErorr(code, ...) \
     virReportErrorHelper(VIR_FROM_THIS, code,  __FILE__,    \
                          __FUNCTION__, __LINE__, \
                          __VA_ARGS__)

This creates needless duplication and inconsistent error
reporting function names in each file. It is trivial to
just have virterror_internal.h provide a virReportError
macro that is equivalent

0ac3baee2c Fix vm's outbound traffic control problem
Hello,

This is a patch to fix vm's outbound traffic control problem.

Currently, vm's outbound traffic control by libvirt doesn't go well.
This problem was previously discussed at libvir-list ML, however
it seems that there isn't still any answer to the problem.
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg00333.html

I measured Guest(with virtio-net) to Host TCP throughput with the
command "netperf -H".
Here are the outbound QoS parameters and the results.

outbound average rate[kilobytes/s] : Guest to Host throughput[Mbit/s]
======================================================================
1024  (8Mbit/s)                    : 4.56
2048  (16Mbit/s)                   : 3.29
4096  (32Mbit/s)                   : 3.35
8192  (64Mbit/s)                   : 3.95
16384 (128Mbit/s)                  : 4.08
32768 (256Mbit/s)                  : 3.94
65536 (512Mbit/s)                  : 3.23

The outbound traffic goes down unreasonably and is even not controled.

The cause of this problem is too large mtu value in "tc filter" command run by
libvirt. The command uses burst value to set mtu and the burst is equal to
average rate value if it's not set. This value is too large. For example
if the average rate is set to 1024 kilobytes/s, the mtu value is set to 1024
kilobytes. That's too large compared to the size of network packets.
Here libvirt applies tc ingress filter to Host's vnet(tun) device.
Tc ingress filter is implemented with TBF(Token Buckets Filter) algorithm. TBF
uses mtu value to calculate the amount of token consumed by each packet. With too
large mtu value, the token consumption rate is set too large. This leads to
token starvation and deterioration of TCP throughput.

Then, should we use the default mtu value 2 kilobytes?
The anser is No, because Guest with virtio-net device uses 65536 bytes
as mtu to transmit packets to Host, and the tc filter with the default mtu
value 2k drops packets whose size is larger than 2k. So, the most packets
is droped and again leads to deterioration of TCP throughput.

The appropriate mtu value is 65536 bytes which is equal to the maximum value
of network interface device defined in <linux/netdevice.h>. The value is
not so large that it causes token starvation and not so small that it
drops most packets.
Therefore this patch set the mtu value to 64kb(== 65535 bytes).

Again, here are the outbound QoS parameters and the TCP throughput with
the libvirt patched.

outbound average rate[kilobytes/s] : Guest to Host throughput[Mbit/s]
======================================================================
1024  (8Mbit/s)                    : 8.22
2048  (16Mbit/s)                   : 16.42
4096  (32Mbit/s)                   : 32.93
8192  (64Mbit/s)                   : 66.85
16384 (128Mbit/s)                  : 133.88
32768 (256Mbit/s)                  : 271.01
65536 (512Mbit/s)                  : 547.32

The outbound traffic conforms to the given limit.

Some GNULIB headers (eg unistd.h) will often need to include
winsock2.h for various symbols. There is a rule that winsock2.h
must be included before windows.h. This means that any file
which does

  #ifdef WIN32
  #include <windows.h>
  #endif
  #include <unistd.h>

is potentially broken. A simple rule is that /all/ includes of
windows.h must be matched with a preceding include of winsock2.h

6510c97bf5 Add some missing hook functions
A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.

If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.

Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.

This all also applies to the LXC driver

9202f2c220 buf: support peeking at string contents
Right now, the only way to get at the contents of a virBuffer is
to destroy it.  But there are cases in my upcoming patches where

by disregarding the docs that the return value is invalid on the

d581313acf util: Fix deadlock in virLogReset
When libvirtd forks off a new child, the child then calls virLogReset(),
which ends up closing file descriptors used as log outputs. However, we
recently started logging closed file descriptors, which means we need to
lock logging mutex which was already locked by virLogReset(). We don't
really want to log anything when we are in the process of closing log
outputs.

5e8ab3915b command: avoid potential deadlock on handshake
There is a theoretical problem of an extreme bug where we can get
into deadlock due to command handshaking.  Thanks to a pair of pipes,
we have a situation where the parent thinks the child reported an
error and is waiting for a message from the child to explain the
error; but at the same time the child thinks it reported success
and is waiting for the parent to acknowledge the success; so both
processes are now blocked.

Thankfully, I don't think this deadlock is possible without at
least one other bug in the code, but I did see exactly that sort
of situation prior to commit da831af - I saw a backtrace where a
double close bug in the parent caused the parent to read from the
wrong fd and assume the child failed, even though the child really
sent success.

This potential deadlock is not quite like commit 858c247 (a deadlock
due to multiple readers on one pipe preventing a write from completing),
although the solution is similar - always close unused pipe fds before
blocking, rather than after.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandHandshakeWait): Close unused fds
sooner.

858c2476d9 command: avoid deadlock on EPIPE situation
It is possible to deadlock libvirt by having a domain with XML
longer than PIPE_BUF, and by writing a hook script that closes
stdin early.  This is because libvirt was keeping a copy of the
child's stdin read fd open, which means the write fd in the
parent will never see EPIPE (remember, libvirt should always be
run with SIGPIPE ignored, so we should never get a SIGPIPE signal).
Since there is no error, libvirt blocks waiting for a write to
complete, even though the only reader is also libvirt.  The
solution is to ensure that only the child can act as a reader
before the parent does any writes; and then dealing with the
fallout of dealing with EPIPE.

Thankfully, this is not a security hole - since the only way to
trigger the deadlock is to install a custom hook script, anyone
that already has privileges to install a hook script already has
privileges to do any number of other equally disruptive things
to libvirt; it would only be a security hole if an unprivileged
user could install a hook script to DoS a privileged user.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun): Close parent's copy of child
read fd earlier.
(virCommandProcessIO): Don't let EPIPE be fatal; the child may
be done parsing input.
* tests/commandhelper.c (main): Set up a SIGPIPE situation.
* tests/commandtest.c (test20): Trigger it.
* tests/commanddata/test20.log: New file.

da831afcf2 command: avoid double close bugs
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki reported a nasty double-free bug when virCommand
is used to convert a string into input to a child command.  The
problem is that the poll() loop of virCommandProcessIO would close()
the write end of the pipe in order to let the child see EOF, then
the caller virCommandRun() would also close the same fd number, with
the second close possibly nuking an fd opened by some other thread
in the meantime.  This in turn can have all sorts of bad effects.

The bug has been present since the introduction of virCommand in
commit f16ad06f.

This is based on his first attempt at a patch, at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823716

7454849ec5 virCommand: Extend debug message for handshake
Currently, we are logging only one side of pipes we

in cases where pipe2() returns two consecutive FDs. However,
it is not guaranteed and it may return any FDs.
Therefore, it's wise to log the other ends as well.

a8c0b2fed0 Remount cgroups controllers after setting up new /sys in LXC
Normal practice is for cgroups controllers to be mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroup. When setting up a container, /sys is mounted
with a new sysfs instance, thus we must re-mount all the
cgroups controllers. The complexity is that we must mount
them in the same layout as the host OS. ie if 'cpu' and 'cpuacct'
were mounted at the same location in the host we must preserve
this in the container. Also if any controllers are co-located
we must setup symlinks from the individual controller name to
the co-located mount-point

32a9aac2e0 Use XDG Base Directories instead of storing in home directory
As defined in:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

This offers a number of advantages:
 * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators

d9d39e6209 netlink: Fix build with libnl-3
Commit 642973135c added three direct
references to nl_handle_* instead of using our aliases which hide
differences between libnl-3 and libnl-1.

cc0737713a util: set src_pid for virNetlinkCommand when appropriate
Until now, the nl_pid of the source address of every message sent by
virNetlinkCommand has been set to the value of getpid(). Most of the
time this doesn't matter, and in the one case where it does
(communication with lldpad), it previously was the proper thing to do,
because the netlink event service (which listens on a netlink socket
for unsolicited messages from lldpad) coincidentally always happened
to bind with a local nl_pid == getpid().

With the fix for:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465

that particular nl_pid is now effectively a reserved value, so the
netlink event service will always bind to something else
(coincidentally "getpid() + (1 << 22)", but it really could be
anything). The result is that communication between lldpad and
libvirtd is broken (lldpad gets a "disconnected" error when it tries
to send a directed message).

The solution to this problem caused by a solution, is to query the
netlink event service's nlhandle for its "local_port", and send that
as the source nl_pid (but only when sending to lldpad, of course - in
other cases we maintain the old behavior of sending getpid()).

There are two cases where a message is being directed at lldpad - one
in virNetDevLinkDump, and one in virNetDevVPortProfileOpSetLink.

The case of virNetDevVPortProfileOpSetLink is simplest to explain -
only if !nltarget_kernel, i.e. the message isn't targetted for the
kernel, is the dst_pid set (by calling
virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid()), so only in that case do we call
virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() to set src_pid.

For virNetDevLinkDump, it's a bit more complicated. The call to
virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid() was effectively up one level (in
virNetDevVPortProfileOpCommon), although obscured by an unnecessary
passing of a function pointer. This patch removes the function
pointer, and calls virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid() directly in
virNetDevVPortProfileOpCommon - if it's doing this, it knows that it
should also call virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() to set src_pid too;
then it just passes src_pid and dst_pid down to
virNetDevLinkDump. Since (src_pid == 0 && dst_pid == 0) implies that
the kernel is the destination, there is no longer any need to send
nltarget_kernel as an arg to virNetDevLinkDump, so it's been removed.

The disparity between src_pid being int and dst_pid being uint32_t may
be a bit disconcerting to some, but I didn't want to complicate
virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() by having status returned separately
from the value.

c99e93758d util: function to get local nl_pid used by netlink event socket
This value will be needed to set the src_pid when sending netlink
messages to lldpad. It is part of the solution to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465

Note that libnl's port generation algorithm guarantees that the
nl_socket_get_local_port() will always be > 0 (since it is "getpid() +
(n << 22>" where n is always < 1024), so it is okay to cast the
uint32_t to int (thus allowing us to use -1 as an error sentinel).

cca7bb1fb5 util: allow specifying both src and dst pid in virNetlinkCommand
Until now, virNetlinkCommand has assumed that the nl_pid in the source
address of outgoing netlink messages should always be the return value
of getpid(). In most cases it actually doesn't matter, but in the case
of communication with lldpad, lldpad saves this info and later uses it
to send netlink messages back to libvirt. A recent patch to fix Bug
816465 changed the order of the universe such that the netlink event
service socket is no longer bound with nl_pid == getpid(), so lldpad
could no longer send unsolicited messages to libvirtd. Adding src_pid
as an argument to virNetlinkCommand() is the first step in notifying
lldpad of the proper address of the netlink event service socket.

642973135c util: fix libvirtd startup failure due to netlink error
This is part of the solution to the problem detailed in:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465

and further detailed in

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00202.htm

A short explanation is included in the comments of the patch itself.

Note that this patch by itself breaks communication between lldpad and
libvirtd, so the other 3 patches in the series must be applied at the
same time as this patch.

9914477efc usb: create functions to search usb device accurately
usbFindDevice():get usb device according to
                idVendor, idProduct, bus, device
                it is the exact match of the four parameters

usbFindDeviceByBus():get usb device according to bus, device
                  it returns only one usb device same as usbFindDevice

usbFindDeviceByVendor():get usb device according to idVendor,idProduct
                     it probably returns multiple usb devices.
