The legacy xen toolstack will set pygrub as the bootloader if not
specified. For compatibility, do the same in the libxl driver
iff not using direct kernel boot.
Currently, the libxl driver reports a connection type of "xenlight".
To be compatible with the legacy Xen driver, it should return "Xen".
Note: I noticed this while testing the libxl driver on OpenStack.
After switching my Xen compute nodes to use the libxl stack, I
could no longer launch instances on those nodes since
hypervisor_type was reported as "xenlight" instead of "xen".
During a live migration the guest may receive a disk access I/O error.
In this state the guest is unable to continue running on a remote host
after migration as some state may be present in the kernel and not
migrated.
With this patch, the migration is canceled in such case so it can either
continue on the source if the I/O issues are recovered or has to be
destroyed anyways.

As of d7f9d82753 we copy the listen
address from the qemu.conf config file in case none has been provided
via XML. But later, when migrating, we should not include such listen
address in the migratable XML as it is something autogenerated, not
requested by user. Moreover, the binding to the listen address will
likely fail, unless the address is '0.0.0.0' or its IPv6 equivalent.
This patch introduces a new boolean attribute to virDomainGraphicsListenDef
to distinguish autofilled listen addresses. However, we must keep the
attribute over libvirtd restarts, so it must be kept within status XML.
This patch fixes changes done in commit 29c1e913e4
that was pushed without implementing review feedback.
The flag introduced by the patch is changed to VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST and
documentation makes the difference between regular hotplug and this new
functionality more explicit.
The virsh options that enable the use of the new flag are changed to
"--guest" and the documentation is fixed too.
virProcessGetNamespaces() opens files in /proc/XXX/ns/ which will
later be passed to setns(). We have to make sure that the file
descriptors in the array are in the correct order. In particular
the 'user' namespace must be first otherwise setns() may fail
for other namespaces.
The order has been taken from util-linux's sys-utils/nsenter.c
Also we must ignore EINVAL in setns() which occurs if the
namespace associated with the fd, matches the calling process'
current namespace.

Currently, there's a path to use the ncpuinfo variable uninitialized,
which leads to a compiler warning:
qemu/qemu_driver.c: In function 'qemuDomainGetVcpusFlags':
qemu/qemu_driver.c:4573:9: error: 'ncpuinfo' may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
for (i = 0; i < ncpuinfo; i++) {

This patch implements support for the "cpu-add" QMP command that plugs
CPUs into a live guest. The "cpu-add" command was introduced in QEMU
1.5. For the hotplug to work machine type "pc-i440fx-1.5" is required.
This flag will allow to use qemu guest agent commands to disable
(offline) and enable (online) processors in a live guest that has the
guest agent running.
The qemu guest agent allows to online and offline CPUs from the
perspective of the guest. This patch adds helpers that call
'guest-get-vcpus' and 'guest-set-vcpus' guest agent functions and
convert the data for internal libvirt usage.
A few things have changed in the VirtualBox API - some small
(capitalizations of things in function names like Ip to IP
and Dhcp to DHCP) and some much larger (FindMedium is superceded
by OpenMedium). The biggest change for the sake of this patch
is the signature of CreateMachine is quite a bit different. Using
the Oracle source as a guide, to spin up a VM with a given UUID,
it looks like a text flag has to be passed in a new argument to
CreateMachine. This flag is built in the VirtualBox 4.2 specific
ifdefs and is kind of ugly but works. Additionally, there is now
(unused) VM groups support in CreateMachine and the previous
'osTypeId' arg is currently set to nsnull as in the Oracle code.
The FindMedium to OpenMedium changes were more straightforward
and are pretty clear. The rest of the vbox template changes are
basically spelling/capitalization changes from the looks of things.

iscsiadm now supports specifying hostnames in the portal argument [1]
Instead of resolving the hostname to a single IPv4 address, pass the
hostname to isciadm, allowing IPv6 targets to work.

Though both libvirt and QEMU's document say RTC_CHANGE returns
the offset from the host UTC, qemu actually returns the offset
from the specified date instead when specific date is provided
(-rtc base=$date).
It's not safe for qemu to fix it in code, it worked like that
for 3 years, changing it now may break other QEMU use cases.
What qemu tries to do is to fix the document:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-05/msg04782.html
And in libvirt side, instead of replying on the value from qemu,
this converts the offset returned from qemu to the offset from
host UTC, by:
/*
* a: the offset from qemu RTC_CHANGE event
* b: The specified date (-rtc base=$date)
* c: the host date when libvirt gets the RTC_CHANGE event
* offset: What libvirt will report
*/
offset = a + (b - c);
The specified date (-rtc base=$date) is recorded in clock's def as
an internal only member (may be useful to exposed outside?).
Internal only XML tag "basetime" is introduced to not lose the
guest's basetime after libvirt restarting/reloading:
<clock offset='variable' adjustment='304' basis='utc' basetime='1370423588'/>
Setting of local variables in virStorageBackendCreateQemuImgCmd was
unnecessarily cluttered with ternary operators and repeated testing of
of conditions.
This patch refactors the function to use if statements and improves
error reporting in case inputvol is specified but does not contain
target path. Previously we would complain about "unknown storage vol
type 0" instead of the actual problem.
After fixing an invalid usage of virDomainNetDef in OpenVZ driver,
a coverage issue appeared. This was caused by a still invalid usage
of net->data.ethernet.dev for non ethernet networking.
Currently, a listen address for a SPICE server can be specified. Later,
when the domain is migrated, we need to relocate the graphics which
involves telling new destination to the SPICE server. However, we can't
just assume the listen address is the new location, because the listen
address can be ANYCAST (0.0.0.0 for IPv4, :: for IPv6). In which case,
we want to pass the remote hostname. But there are some troubles with
ANYCAST. In both IPv4 and IPv6 it has many ways for specifying such
address. For instance, in IPv4: 0, 0.0, 0.0.0, 0.0.0.0. The number of
variations gets bigger in IPv6 world. Hence, in order to check for
ANYCAST address sanely, we should take the provided listen address,
parse it and format back in it's full form. Which is exactly what this
patch does.
Such as on FreeBSD. Broken in commit aa2a4cff7.

By default files in a FUSE mount can only be accessed by the
user which created them, even if the file permissions would
otherwise allow it. To allow other users to access the FUSE
mount the 'allow_other' mount option must be used. This bug
prevented non-root users in an LXC container from reading
the /proc/meminfo file.

If the creation of the commandline failed, libvirt always reported "out
of memory" from the virCommandToString function rather than the proper
error that happened in virStorageBackendCreateQemuImgCmd. Error out
earlier.
As the document for "virsh-resize" says:
<...>
Attempts to shrink the volume will fail unless I<--shrink> is present;
</...>
This makes sense as it at least prevent the user shrinking the important
data of volume without a notice.
The document for "vol-resize" says the new capacity will be sparse
unless "--allocate" is specified, however, the "--allocate" flag
is never implemented. This implements the "--allocate" flag for
fs backend's raw type volume, based on posix_fallocate and the
syscall SYS_fallocate.
The work was done at the time of snapshot xmlstring parsing
if (offline && def->memory &&
def->memory != VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LOCATION_NONE) {
virReportError(...);
}
