This call to virDomainDeviceDefParse is both unnecessary (since
it will again be called at the top of the immediately following if(),
and if not there, then at the top of the if following that), but it
also creates a leak of one virDomainDeviceDef and one [whatever type
of device the DeviceDef is pointing to; probably a virDomainDiskDef]
in the case that the function has been called with
VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_CONFIG (the second parse will overwrite the
devicedef that was just created).
vshFindDisk is to find the disk node in xml doc with given source
path or target of disk device, and type (indicates disk type,
normal disk or changeable disk).
vshPrepareDiskXML is to make changes on the disk node (e.g. create
and insert the new <source> node for inserting media of CDROM drive).
They are marked as unused temporarily.
For any disk controller model which is not "lsilogic", the command
line will be like:
-drive file=/dev/sda,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-3-0,format=raw \
-device scsi-disk,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=3,lun=0,i\
drive=drive-scsi0-0-3-0,id=scsi0-0-3-0
The relationship between the libvirt address attrs and the qdev
properties are (controller model is not "lsilogic"; strings
inside <> represent libvirt adress attrs):
bus=scsi<controller>.0
channel=<bus>
scsi-id=<target>
lun=<unit>
* src/qemu/qemu_command.h: (New param "virDomainDefPtr def"
for function qemuBuildDriveDevStr; new param "virDomainDefPtr
vmdef" for function qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias. Both for
virDomainDiskFindControllerModel's use).
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c:
- New param "virDomainDefPtr def" for qemuAssignDeviceDiskAliasCustom.
For virDomainDiskFindControllerModel's use, if the disk bus is "scsi"
and the controller model is not "lsilogic", "target" is one part of
the alias name.
- According change on qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias and qemuBuildDriveDevStr
* src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c:
- Changes to be consistent with declarations of qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias
qemuBuildDriveDevStr, and qemuBuildControllerDevStr.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pseries-vio-user-assigned.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pseries-vio.args: Update the

* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new member "target" to struct
_virDomainDeviceDriveAddress.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parse and format "target"
* Lots of tests (.xml) in tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata, tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata, and
tests/vmx2xmldata/ are modified for newly introduced
attribute "target" for address of "drive" type.
KVM will be able to use a PCI SCSI controller even on POWER. Let
the user specify the vSCSI controller by other means than a default.
After this patch, the QEMU driver will actually look at the model
and reject anything but auto, lsilogic and ibmvscsi.

In qemuDomainAttachNetDevice, the guest's tap interface has only been
attached to the bridge if iface_connected is true. It's possible for
an error to occur prior to that happening, and previously we would
attempt to remove the tap interface from the bridge even if it hadn't
been attached.
QMP commands don't need to be escaped since converting them to json
also escapes special characters. When a QMP command fails, however,
libvirt falls back to HMP commands. These fallback functions
(qemuMonitorText*) do their own escaping, and pass the result directly
to qemuMonitorHMPCommandWithFd. If the monitor is in json mode, these
pre-escaped commands will be escaped again when converted to json,
which can result in the wrong arguments being sent.
For example, a filename test\file would be sent in json as
test\\file.
This prevented attaching an image file with a " or \ in its name in
qemu 1.0.50, and also broke rbd attachment (which uses backslashes to
escape some internal arguments.)

This patch fixes console corruption, that happens if two concurrent
sessions are opened for a single console on a domain. Result of this
corruption was that each of the console streams recieved just a part
of the data written to the pipe so every console rendered unusable.
New helper function for safe console handling is used to establish the
console stream connection. This function ensures that no other libvirt
client is using the console (with the ability to disconnect consoles of
libvirt clients) and that no UUCP style lockfile is placed on the PTY
device.
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.h
- add data structure to domain's private data dealing with
console connections
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c:
- allocate/free domain's console data structure
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
- use the new helper function for console handling
This patch adds a set of functions used in creating console streams for
domains using PTYs and ensures mutually exclusive access to the PTYs.
If mutually exclusive access is not used, two clients may open the same
console, which results in corruption on both clients as both of them
race to read data from the PTY.
Two approaches are used to ensure this:
1) Internal data structure holding open PTYs.
This is used internally and enables the user to forcibly
terminate another console connection eg. when somebody leaves
the console open on another host.
2) UUCP style lock files:
This uses UUCP lock files according to the FHS
( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOCKLOCKFILES )
to check if other programs (like minicom) are not using the pty
device of the console.
This feature is disabled by default and may be enabled using
configure parameter
--with-console-lock-files=/path/to/lock/file/directory
or --with-console-lock-files=auto (which tries to infer the
location from OS used (currently only linux).
On usual linux systems, normal users may not write to the
/var/lock directory containing the locks. This poses problems
while in session mode. If the current user has no access to the
lockfile directory, check for presence of the file is still
done, but no lock file is created. This does NOT result in an
error.
This patch adds another callback to a FDstream object. The original
callback is used by the daemon stream driver to handle events.
This callback is called if and only if the stream is about to be closed.
This might be used to handle cleanup steps after a fdstream exits. This
will be used later on in ensuring mutually exclusive access to consoles.
* src/fdstream.c:
- emit the callback, when stream is being closed
- add data structures needed to handle the callback
- add function to register callback
* src/fdstream.h:
- define function prototypes for the callback
This patch causes the fdstream driver to call the stream event callback
if virStreamAbort() is called on a stream using this driver.
A remote handler for a stream can only detect changes via stream events,
so this event callback is necessary in order to enable a daemon to abort
a stream in such a way that the client will see the change.
* src/fdstream.c:
- modify close function to call stream event callback
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.
* tools/console.c:
- add support for flag passthrough
* tools/console.h:
- modify function prototypes to match impl.
* tools/virsh.c:
- add flag --force for the console command
This patch adds a set of flags to be used with the virDomainOpenConsole
API call to specify if the user wishes to interrupt an existing console
session or just to try open a new one.
VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_SAFE - specifies that the console connection should
be opened only if the hypervisor supports
mutually exclusive access to console devices
VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE - specifies that the caller wishes to interrupt
existing session and force a creation of a
new one.
This patch changes behavior of virPidFileRead to enable passing NULL as
path to the binary the pid file should be checked against to skip this
check. This enables using this function for reading files that have same
semantics as pid files, but belong to unknown processes.
using 'system-wakeup' monitor command. It is supported only in JSON,
as we are enabling it if possible. Moreover, this command is available
in qemu-1.1+ which definitely has JSON.
Function xmlParseURI does not remove square brackets around IPv6
address when parsing. One of the solutions is making wrappers around
functions working with xmlURI*. This assures that uri->server will be
always properly assigned and it doesn't have to be changed when used
on some new place in the code.
For this purpose, functions virParseURI and virSaveURI were
added. These function are wrappers around xmlParseURI and xmlSaveUri
respectively.
Also there is one new syntax check function to prohibit these functions
anywhere else.
File changes:
- src/util/viruri.h -- declaration
- src/util/viruri.c -- definition
- src/libvirt_private.syms -- symbol export
- src/Makefile.am -- added source and header files
- cfg.mk -- added sc_prohibit_xmlURI
- all others -- ID name and include fixes
After adding the libvirt-guests service into usual runlevels, we used
to start the libvirt-guests service. However this is usually not a
good practice. As mentioned on fedoraproject wiki, the installations
can be in changeroots, in an installer context, or in other situations
where we don't want the services autostarted.
The /usr/include/python/pyconfig.h file pollutes the global
namespace with a huge number of HAVE_XXX and WITH_XXX
defines. These change what we detected in our own config.h
In particular if you try to build without DTrace, python's
headers turn it back on with predictable fail.
THe hack to workaround this is to rename WITH_DTRACE to
WITH_DTRACE_PROBES to avoid the namespace clash

- The actual error message is bad for users
- We shouldn't rely on VIR_ERROR for this case
- The prompt makes it look like we still connected

It's possible to disable SPICE TLS in qemu.conf. When this happens,
libvirt ignores any SPICE TLS port or x509 directory that may have
been set when it builds the qemu command line to use. However, it's
not ignoring the secure channels that may have been set and adds
tls-channel arguments to qemu command line.
Current qemu versions don't report an error when this happens, and try to use
TLS for the specified channels.
Before this patch
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>auto-tls-port</name>
<memory>65536</memory>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
</os>
<devices>
<graphics type='spice' port='5900' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0' ke
<listen type='address' address='0'/>
<channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
<channel name='inputs' mode='secure'/>
</graphics>
</devices>
</domain>
generates
-spice port=5900,addr=0,disable-ticketing,tls-channel=main,tls-channel=inputs
and starts QEMU.
After this patch, an error is reported if a TLS port is set in the XML
or if secure channels are specified but TLS is disabled in qemu.conf.
This is the behaviour the oVirt people (where I spotted this issue) said
they would expect.

When creating a network (virsh net-create) with an erroneous XML
containing an empty <name> element, the error message is misleading:
error: Failed to create network from foo.xml
error: missing domain name information
It took me a bit of time to figure out that it was the *network* name
that was missing (I generate this xml and didn't look at it, first).
I realized that the same message is used for missing name when creating
a domain, network, or device node.

mentioning them on libvir-list.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795656 mentions
that a graceful destroy request can time out, meaning that the
error message is user-visible and should be more appropriate

Migrating domains with disks using cache != none is unsafe unless the
disk images are stored on coherent clustered filesystem. Thus we forbid
migrating such domains unless VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE flags is used.
This patch adds VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE flag for migration APIs and new
VIR_ERR_MIGRATION_UNSAFE error code. The error code should be returned
whenever migrating a domain is considered unsafe (e.g., it's configured
in a way that does not ensure data integrity once it is migrated).
VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE flag may be used to force migration even though it
would normally be considered unsafe and forbidden.
AC_CHECK_PROG checks for program in given path. However, if it doesn't
exists, [variable] is set to [value-if-not-found]. We don't want this
to be the empty string in case of 'modprobe' and 'scrub' as we want to
fallback to runtime detection.
This patch adds new options to the "virsh list" command enabling
filtering of persistent and transient domains along with the option to
print only UUIDs or names of domains instead of printing the table.
Option --name prints domain names (one per line) instead of the default
table. Similarly --uuid prints domain's UUID. The option --table is
an alias for the default behavior.
Aditionally --persistent and/or --transient may be specified to filter
the output of domains.
