In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available
v5:

QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>
This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').
Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.
v2:
schema: Make listen vs. socket a <choice>
This will allow us to record transient runtime state in vm->def, like
default VNC parameters. Accomplish this by adding an extra 'live' parameter
to SetDefTransient, with similar semantics to the 'live' flag for
AssignDef.
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.
This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.
This is in response to a request in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665293
In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).
Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.
The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.
<interface type='network'>
...
<tune>
<sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
...
</tune>
</interface>

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.
This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:
<interface type="network">
<model type="virtio"/>
<driver name="vhost"/>
will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.
If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.
Extend the virDomainFeature enumeration to include HAP (hardware
assisted paging) feature.
Hardware features such as Extended Page Table and Nested Page
Table augment hypervisor software techniques such as shadow
page table. Adding HAP to the virDomainFeature enumeration
allows users to select between hardware and software memory
management mechanisms for their guests.
If invalid type is specified, e.g.
<serial type='foo'>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
We replace 'foo' with "null" type implicitly, without reporting an
error message to tell the user, and "start" or "edit" the domain
will be success.
It's not good to guess what the user wants, This patch is to fix
the problem.

Network disks are accessed by qemu directly, and have no
associated file on the host, so checking for file ownership etc.
is unnecessary.

Changes common to all network disks:
-Make source name optional in the domain schema, since NBD doesn't use it
-Add a hostName type to the domain schema, and use it instead of genericName, which doesn't include .
-Don't leak host names or ports
-Set the source protocol in qemuParseCommandline

This patch adds network disk support to libvirt/QEMU. The currently
supported protocols are nbd, rbd, and sheepdog. The XML syntax is like
this:
<disk type="network" device="disk">
<driver name="qemu" type="raw" />
<source protocol='rbd|sheepdog|nbd' name="...some image identifier...">
<host name="mon1.example.org" port="6000">
<host name="mon2.example.org" port="6000">
<host name="mon3.example.org" port="6000">
</source>

`dump' watchdog action lets libvirtd to dump the guest when receives a
watchdog event (which probably means a guest crash)
Currently only qemu is supported.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDefParseXML): Prefer sysinfo
uuid over generating one, and if both uuids are present, require
them to be identical.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Allow skipping
the uuid.
(qemudBuildCommandLine): Adjust caller; <smbios mode=host/> must
not use host uuid in place of guest uuid.
Do this by adding a helper function to get the persistent domain config. This
should be useful for other functions that may eventually want to alter
the persistent domain config (attach/detach device). Also make similar changes
to the test drivers setvcpus command.
A caveat is that the function will return the running config for a transient
domain, rather than error. This simplifies callers, as long as they use
other methods to ensure the guest is persistent.
This function sets the running domain definition as transient, by reparsing
the persistent config and assigning it to newDef. This ensures that any
changes made to the running definition and not the persistent config are
discarded when the VM is shutdown.
I am trying to use a qcow image with libvirt where the backing 'file' is a
qemu-nbd server. Unfortunately virDomainDiskDefForeachPath() assumes that
backingStore is always a real file so something like 'nbd:0:3333' is rejected
because a file with that name cannot be accessed. Note that I am not worried
about directly using nbd images. That would require a new disk type with XML
markup, etc. I only want it to be permitted as a backingStore
The following patch implements danpb's suggestion:

<graphics type='spice' port='-1' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'>
<channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
<channel name='record' mode='insecure'/>
</graphics>
Any non-specified channel uses the default, which allows both
secure & insecure usage
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add XML syntax for specifying per
channel security options for spice.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Configure channel security with spice
This extends the XML syntax for <graphics> to allow a password
expiry time to be set
eg
<graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us' passwd='12345' passwdValidTo='2010-04-09T15:51:00'/>
The timestamp is in UTC.

struct containing VNC password
This adds an element
<graphics type='spice' port='5903' tlsPort='5904' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/>
This is the bare minimum that should be exposed in the guest
config for SPICE. Other parameters are better handled as per
host level configuration tunables
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Define the SPICE <graphics> schema

During a shutdown/restart cycle libvirtd forgot the macvtap device name that it had created on behalf of a VM so that a stale macvtap device remained on the host when the VM terminated. Libvirtd has to actively tear down a macvtap device and it uses its name for identifying which device to tear down.
The solution is to not blank out the <target dev='...'/> completely, but only blank it out on VMs that are not active. So, if a VM is active, the device name makes it into the XML and is also being parsed. If a VM is not active, the device name is discarded.
The virSocketParse method was not doing any error reporting
which meant the true cause of the problem was lost. Remove
all error reporting from callers, and push it into virSocketParse
* src/util/network.c: Add error reporting to virSocketParse
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.c,
src/network/bridge_driver.c: Remove error reporting in
callers of virSocketParse
The getnameinfo() function is more flexible than inet_ntop()
avoiding the need to if/else the code based on socket family.
Also make it support UNIX socket addrs and allow inclusion
of a port (service) address. Finally do proper error reporting
via normal APIs.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Fix error handling with virSocketFormat
* src/util/network.c: Rewrite virSocketFormat to use getnameinfo
and cope with UNIX socket addrs.
The virSocketParseAddr function was accepting any AF_* constant
and using that to set the ai_flags field in struct addrinfo.
This is invalid, since address families must go in the ai_family
field of the struct.
* src/util/network.c: Fix handling of address family
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c: Pass
AF_UNSPEC instead of relying on it being 0.
Some operations on socket addresses need to know the length of
the sockaddr struct for the particular address family. This
info was being discarded when passing around virSocketAddr
instances. Turn it from a union into a struct containing
union+socklen_t fields, so length is always kept around.
* src/util/network.h: Add socklen_t field to virSocketAddr
* src/util/network.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/conf/domain_conf.c: Update to take account of new
struct definition.
Although this patch adds a distinction between maximum vcpus and
current vcpus in the XML, the values should be identical for all
drivers at this point. Only in subsequent per-driver patches will
a distinction be made.
In general, virDomainGetInfo should prefer the current vcpus.

Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.
There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.
I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).
This introduces new attribute to filesystem element
to support customizable access mode for mount type.
Valid accessmode are: passthrough, mapped and squash.
Usage:

<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
passthrough is the default model if not specified, that's
also the current behaviour.
Adding parsing code for memory tunables in the domain xml file

Since version 4.1 ESX(i) can expose virtual serial devices over TCP.
Add support in the VMX handling code for this, add test cases to cover
it and add links to some documentation.
ESX supports two additional protocols: TELNETS and TLS. Add them to
the list of serial-over-TCP protocols.
The <vcpu cpuset=...> attribute has been available since commit
e193b5dd, but without documentation or RNG validation.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Fix typos.
Other drivers will need this same functionality, so move it to up to
conf/domain_conf.c and give it a more general name.

Xen supports on_crash actions coredump-{destroy,restart}. libvirt

actions

This patch adds a new virDomainLifecycleCrash enum and appends
the new options to existing destroy, restart, preserve, and
rename-restart options.
The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
<memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,
i.e. don't pass the args to qemu/kvm
When parsing hostdev, the following message would be emitted:

in the initial XML parsing loop.
