virNetDevLinkDump() gets a message from netlink into "resp", then
calls nlmsg_parse() to fill the table "tb" with pointers into resp. It
then returns tb to its caller, but not before freeing the buffer at
resp. That means that all the callers of virNetDevLinkDump() are
examining memory that has already been freed. This can be verified by
filling the buffer at resp with garbage prior to freeing it (or, I
suppose, just running libvirtd under valgrind) then performing some
operation that calls virNetDevLinkDump().
The code has been like this ever since virNetDevLinkDump() was written
- the original author didn't notice it, and neither did later
additional users of the function. It has only been pure luck (or maybe
a lack of heavy load, and/or maybe an allocation algorithm in malloc()
that delays re-use of just-freed memory) that has kept this from
causing errors, for example when configuring a PCI passthrough or
macvtap passthrough network interface.
The solution taken in this patch is the simplest - just return resp to
the caller along with tb, then have the caller free it after they are
finished using the data (pointers) in tb. I alternately could have
made a cleaner interface by creating a new struct that put tb and resp
together along with a vir*Free() function for it, but this function is
only used in a couple places, and I'm not sure there will be
additional new uses of virNetDevLinkDump(), so the value of adding a
new type, extra APIs, etc. is dubious.

The function hypervEnumAndPull consumes query on success, but leaked
it on failure. Rather than having to change all callers (many of
them indirect callers through the generated
hypervGetMsvmComputerSystemList), it was easier to just guarantee
that the buffer is cleaned on return from the function.

Tuning NUMA or network interface parameters requires root
privileges to manage cgroups. Thus an attempt to set some of these
parameters in session mode on a running domain should be invalid
followed by an error. An example might be memory tuning which raises
an error in such case.
The following behavior in session mode will be present after applying
this patch:
Tuning | SET | GET |
----------|---------------|--------|
NUMA | shut off only | always |
Memory | never | never |
Interface | never | always |

The documentation for the restore hook states that returning an empty
XML is equivalent with copying the input. There was a bug in the code
checking the returned string by checking the string instead of the
contents. Use the new helper to check if the string is empty.
The helper checks whether a string contains only whitespace or is NULL.
This will be helpful to skip cases where a user string is optional, but
may be provided empty with the same meaning.
Newer versions of Debian use '/run/initctl' instead of '/dev/initctl'.
This patch updates the code to search for the FIFO from a list of
well-known locations.

Fix that by replacing virSocketAddrParseInternal() call with
virSocketAddrParse() in the virSocketAddrIsNumericLocalhost() function.
virSocketAddrParse stores an address in virSocketAddr.
virSocketAddr uses a union to store an address, so it doesn't
need casting.

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.

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
