If VM is configured with many devices(including passthrough devices)
and large memory, libvirtd will take seconds(in the worst case) to
wait for monitor. In this period the qemu process may run on any
PCPU though I intend to pin emulator to the specified PCPU in xml
configuration.
Actually qemu process takes high cpu usage during vm startup.
So this is not the strict CPU isolation in this case.

These tools have been rewritten upstream, so you don't need to link to
the old tools, link to the new ones and mention they are part of
libguestfs.
Also remove the link to "Poor man's P2V". There's no real reason to
use that technique any longer since the rewritten tools are simple,
fast and highly capable.

The mode attribute is required for the source element of vhost-user.
Thus virDomainNetDefFormat should always generate a xml with it and not
only when the mode is server.
The commit fixes the issue. And it adds a vhostuser interface in
'client' mode to qemuxml2argv-net-vhostuser.(args|xml) to test this
usecase.

To allow live modification of device backends in qemu libvirt needs to
be able to hot-add/remove "objects". Add monitor backend functions to
allow this.
This function will be used for hot-add/remove of RNG backends,
IOThreads, memory backing objects, etc.
The JSON structure constructor has an option to add JSON arrays to the
constructed object. The description is inaccurate as it can add any json
object even a dict. Change the docs to cover this option and reject
adding NULL objects.
Our qemu monitor code has a converter from key-value pairs to a json
value object. I want to re-use the code later and having it part of the
monitor command generator is inflexible. Split it out into a separate
helper.
When enabling the migration_address option, by default it is
set to "127.0.0.1", but it's not a valid address for migration.
so we should add verification and set the default migration_address
to "0.0.0.0".

if specifying migration_host to an Ipv6 address without brackets,
it was resolved to an incorrect address, such as:

but the correct address should be:

Few places still used hardcoded limit for maximum XML size for commands
that accept XML files. The hardcoded limits ranged from 8k to 1M. Use
VSH_MAX_XML_FILE to express this limit in a unified way. This will bump
the limit for the commands that used hardcoded string lengths to 10M.

The actual origin of this so called typo are two commits. The first one
was commit 72f8a7f that came up with the following condition:
if ((i == 8) & (flags & VIR_QEMU_PROCESS_KILL_FORCE))
Fortunately this succeeded thanks to bool being (int)1 and
VIR_QEMU_PROCESS_KILL_FORCE having the value of 1 << 0. The check was
then moved and altered in 8fd3823117 to
current state:
if ((i == 50) & force)
that will work again (both sides of '&' being booleans), but since this
was missed so many times, it may pose a problem in the future in case it
gets copy-pasted again.

This started as an investigation into an issue where libvirt (using the
libxl driver) and the Xen host, like an old couple, could not agree on
who is responsible for selecting the VNC port to use.
Things usually (and a bit surprisingly) did work because, just like that
old couple, they had the same idea on what to do by default. However it
was possible that this ended up in a big argument.
The problem is that display information exists in two different places:
in the vfbs list and in the build info. And for launching the device model,
only the latter is used. But that never gets initialized from libvirt. So
Xen allows the device model to select a default port while libvirt thinks
it has told Xen that this is done by libvirt (though the vfbs config).
While fixing that, I made a stab at actually evaluating the configuration
of the video device. So that it is now possible to at least decide between
a Cirrus or standard VGA emulation and to modify the VRAM within certain
limits using libvirt.

This patch introduces a function to detect whether the specified
emulator is QEMU_XEN or QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL. Detection is based on the
string "Options specific to the Xen version:" in '$qemu -help' output.
AFAIK, the only qemu containing that string in help output is the
old Xen fork (aka qemu-dm).
Note:
QEMU_XEN means a qemu that contains support for Xen.
QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL means Xen's old forked qemu 0.10.2

Allow the Xen drivers to determine default vram values. Sane
default vaules depend on the device model being used, so the
drivers are in the best position to determine the defaults.
For the legacy xen driver, it is best to maintain the existing
logic for setting default vram values to ensure there are no
regressions. The libxl driver currently does not support
configuring a video device. Support will be added in a
subsequent patch, where the benefit of this change will be
reaped.

The pkg-config files in src/ make it pretty easy to build language
bindings against an uninstalled libvirt, however, they don't work with
VPATH builds. The reason is that all *-api.xml files are generated in

The code for relabelling the TAP FD is there due to a race. When
libvirt creates a /dev/tapN device it's labeled as
'system_u:object_r:device_t:s0' by default. Later, when
udev/systemd reacts to this device, it's relabelled to the
expected label 'system_u:object_r:tun_tap_device_t:s0'. Hence, we
have a code that relabels the device, to cut the race down. For
more info see ae368ebfcc.
But the problem is, the relabel function is called on all TUN/TAP
devices. Yes, on /dev/net/tun too. This is however a special kind
of device - other processes uses it too. We shouldn't touch it's
label then.
Ideally, there would an API in SELinux that would label just the
passed FD and not the underlying path. That way, we wouldn't need
to care as we would be not labeling /dev/net/tun but the FD
passed to the domain. Unfortunately, there's no such API so we
have to workaround until then.

This implementation uses the https://esx-server/screen?id=<id> way to get
a screenshot of a running domain. Compared to the CreateScreenshot_Task
way this works since ESX 2.5 while CreateScreenshot_Task was added in
version 4.0.
The newly added libcurl stream driver is used to directly provide the
downloaded data without saving it to a temporary file first.
This allows to implement libvirt functions that use streams, such as
virDoaminScreenshot, without the need to store the downloaded data in
a temporary file first. The stream driver directly interacts with
libcurl to send and receive data.
The driver uses the libcurl multi interface that allows to do a transfer
in multiple curl_multi_perform() calls. The easy interface would do the
whole transfer in a single curl_easy_perform() call. This doesn't work
with the libvirt stream API that is driven by multiple calls to the
virStreamSend() and virStreamRecv() functions.
The curl_multi_wait() function is used to do blocking operations. But it
was added in libcurl 7.28.0. For older versions it is emulated using the
socket callback of the multi interface.
The current driver only supports blocking operations. There is already
some code in place for non-blocking mode but it is not complete.
This patch fills in the functionality of
processNicRxFilterChangedEvent(). It now checks if it is appropriate
to respond to the NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event (based on device type
and configuration) and takes appropriate action. Currently it checks
if the guest interface has been configured with
trustGuestRxFilters='yes', and if the host side device is macvtap. If
so, and the MAC address on the guest has changed, the MAC address of
the macvtap device is changed to match.
The result of this is that networking from the guest will continue to
work if the mac address of a macvtap-connected network device is
changed from within the guest, as long as trustGuestRxFilters='yes'
(previously changing the MAC address in the guest would break
networking).
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED is sent by qemu any time a NIC driver in the
guest modified the NIC's RX Filter (for example, if the MAC address of
the NIC is changed by the guest).
This patch doesn't do anything useful with that event; it just sets up
all the plumbing to get news of the event into a worker thread with
all proper locking/reference counting, and provide an easy place to
add in desired functionality.
See src/qemu/EVENTHANDLERS.txt for information/instructions on adding
a libvirt-internal handler for a qemu event (using
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED as an example).
This text was in the commit log for the patch that added the event
handler for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED, and John Ferlan expressed a desire
that the information not be "lost", so I've put it into a file in the
qemu directory, hoping that it might catch the attention of future
writers of handlers for qemu events.
This function can be called at any time to get the current status of a
guest's network device rx-filter. In particular it is useful to call
after libvirt recieves a NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event - this event only
tells you that something has changed in the rx-filter, the details are
retrieved with the query-rx-filter monitor command (only available in
the json monitor). The command sent to the qemu monitor looks like this:
{"execute":"query-rx-filter", "arguments": {"name":"net2"} }'
and the results will look something like this:
{
"return": [
{
"promiscuous": false,
"name": "net2",
"main-mac": "52:54:00:98:2d:e3",
"unicast": "normal",
"vlan": "normal",
"vlan-table": [
42,
0
],
"unicast-table": [
],
"multicast": "normal",
"multicast-overflow": false,
"unicast-overflow": false,
"multicast-table": [
"33:33:ff:98:2d:e3",
"01:80:c2:00:00:21",
"01:00:5e:00:00:fb",
"33:33:ff:98:2d:e2",
"01:00:5e:00:00:01",
"33:33:00:00:00:01"
],
"broadcast-allowed": false
}
],
"id": "libvirt-14"
}
This is all parsed from JSON into a virNetDevRxFilter object for
easier consumption. (unicast-table is usually empty, but is also an
array of mac addresses similar to multicast-table).
(NB: LIBNL_CFLAGS was added to tests/Makefile.am because virnetdev.h
now includes util/virnetlink.h, which includes netlink/msg.h when
appropriate. Without LIBNL_CFLAGS, gcc can't find that file (if
libnl/netlink isn't available, LIBNL_CFLAGS will be empty and
virnetlink.h won't try to include netlink/msg.h anyway).)
This same structure will be used to retrieve RX filter info for
interfaces on the host via netlink messages, and RX filter info for
interfaces on the guest via the qemu "query-rx-filter" command.
