We have previously effectively ignored all <controller type='ide'>
elements in a domain definition.
On the i440fx-based machinetypes there is an IDE controller that is
included in the chipset and can't be removed (which is the ide
controller with index='0'>), so it makes sense to ignore that one
controller. However, if an i440fx domain definition has a 2nd
controller, nothing catches this error (unless you also have a disk
attached to it, in which case qemu will complain that you're trying to
use the ide controller named "ide1", which doesn't exist), and if any
other type of domain has even a single controller defined, it will be
incorrectly ignored.
Ignoring a bogus controller definition isn't such a big problem, as
long as an error is logged when any disk is attached to that
non-existent controller. But in the case of q35-based machinetypes,
the hardcoded id ("alias" in libvirt terms) of its builtin SATA
controller is "ide", which happens to be the same id as the builtin
IDE controller on i440fx machinetypes. So libvirt creates a
commandline believing that it is connecting the disk to the builtin
(but actually nonexistent) IDE controller, qemu thinks that libvirt
wanted that disk connected to the builtin SATA controller, and
everybody is happy.
Until you try to connect a 2nd disk to the IDE controller. Then qemu
will complain that you're trying to set unit=1 on a controller that
requires unit=0 (SATA controllers are organized differently than IDE
controllers).
After this patch, if a domain has an IDE controller defined for a
machinetype that has no IDE controllers, libvirt will log an error
about the controller itself as it is building the qemu commandline
(rather than a (possible) error from qemu about disks attached to that
controller). This is done by adding IDE to the list of controller
types that are handled in the loop that creates controller command
strings in qemuBuildCommandline() (previously it would *always* skip
IDE controllers). Then qemuBuildControllerDevStr() is modified to log
an appropriate error in the case of IDE controllers.
In the future, if we add support for extra IDE controllers (piix3-ide
and/or piix4-ide) we can just add it into the IDE case in
qemuBuildControllerDevStr(). For now, nobody seems anxious to add
extra support for an aging and very slow controller, when there are so
many better options available.

This makes sure that that the commandlines generated for devices and
controller devices are all using the alias that has been set in the
controller's object as the id of the controller, rather than
hardcoding a printf (or worse, encoding exceptions to the standard
${controller}${index} into the logic)
Since this "fixes" the controller name used for the sata controller,
the commandline arg for the sata controller in the sata test case had
to be adjusted to be "sata0" instead of "ahci0". All other tests
remain unchanged, verifying that the patch causes no other functional
change.
Because the function that finds a controller alias based on a device
def requires a pointer to the full domainDef in order to get the list
of controllers, the arglist of a few functions had to have this added.
There are a few extra exceptions that weren't being accounted for when
creating the alias for a controller. This resulted in 1) incorrect
status XML, and 2) exceptions/printfs of what *should* have been
directly available in the controller alias when constructing device
commandline arguments:
1) The primary (and only) IDE controller on a 440FX machinetype is
hardcoded to be "ide" in qemu.
2) The primary SATA controller on a 440FX machinetype is also
hardcoded to be "ide" in qemu.
3) On machinetypes that don't support multiple PCI buses, the PCI bus
is hardcoded in qemu to have the name "pci".
4) The first usb master controller is "usb", all others are the normal
"usb%d". (note that usb controllers that are not a "master" will have
the same index, and thus alias, as the master).
We needed to pass in the full domainDef and qemuCaps in order to
properly make the decisions about these exceptions.
In the XML we have the vnc port number, but QEMU takes on command line
a vnc screen number, it's port-5900. We should fail with error message
that only ports in range [5900,65535] are valid.

The code to add device type to the commandline was identical for lsi
and other models of SCSI controllers, but was duplicated (with the
exception of a minor ordering difference of the if-else clauses) for
the two cases. This patch replaces those two with a single instance of
the code just before the if().
This patch makes qemuValideDevicePCISlotsChipsets() more consistent in
appearance by replacing several clauses of an if with the equivalent
call to qemuDomainMachineIsI440FX. The if was checking exactly the
same items, just in a slightly different order.

Found by Laine and discussed a bit on internal IRC.
Commit id c56fe7f1d6 added support for creating a command line to support
scsi-disk.channel.
Series was here:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg01052.html
Which pointed to a design proposal here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt/50428
Which states (in part):
Libvirt should check for the QEMU "scsi-disk.channel" property. If it
is unavailable, QEMU will only support channel=lun=0 and 0<=target<=7.
However, the check added was ensuring that bus != lun *and* bus != 0. So
if bus == lun and both were non zero, we'd never make the second check.
Changing this to an *or* check fixes the check, but still is less readable
than the just checking each for 0
Rather than have a separate routine to parse the alias of an iothread
returned from qemu in order to get the iothread_id value, parse the alias
when returning and just return the iothread_id in qemuMonitorIOThreadInfoPtr
This set of patches removes the function, changes the "char *name" to
"unsigned int" and handles all the fallout.
Add 'thread_id' to the virDomainIOThreadIDDef as a means to store the
'thread_id' as returned from the live qemu monitor data.
Remove the iothreadpids list from _qemuDomainObjPrivate and replace with
the new iothreadids 'thread_id' element.
Rather than use the default numbering scheme of 1..number of iothreads
defined for the domain, use the iothreadid's list for the iothread_id
Since iothreadids list keeps track of the iothread_id's, these are
now used in place of the many places where a for loop would "know"
that the ID was "+ 1" from the array element.
The new tests ensure usage of the <iothreadid> values for an exact number
of iothreads and the usage of a smaller number of <iothreadid> values than
iothreads that exist (and usage of the default numbering scheme).
This revealed that GuestDefaultEmulator was a bit buggy, capable
of returning an emulator that didn't match the passed domain type. Fix
up the test suite input to continue to pass.
We support VNC for containers to have the same
interface with VMs. At this moment it just renders
linux text console.
Of course we don't pass any physical devices and
don't emulate virtual devices. Our VNC server
renders text from terminal master and sends
input events from VNC client to terminal.
So add special video type VIR_DOMAIN_VIDEO_TYPE_PARALLELS
for these pseudo-devices.

Instead of always using controller 0 and incrementing port number,
respect the maximum port numbers of controllers and use all of them.
Ports for virtio consoles are quietly reserved, but not formatted
(neither in XML nor on QEMU command line).
Also rejects duplicate virtio-serial addresses.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890606https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1076708
Test changes:
* virtio-auto.args
Filling out the port when just the controller is specified.
switched from using
maxport + 1
to:
first free port on the controller
* virtio-autoassign.args
Filling out the address when no <address> is specified.
Started using all the controllers instead of 0, also discards
the bus value.
* xml -> xml output of virtio-auto
The port assignment is no longer done as a part of XML parsing,
so the unspecified values stay 0.

Use the virStorageSourceIsEmpty helper to determine whether the drive
source is empty rather than checking for src->path. This will fix start
of VM with empty network cdrom that would not report any error.
The function that formats the string for network drives would return
error code but did not set the error message when called on storage
source with VIR_STORAGE_NET_PROTOCOL_LAST or _NONE.
Report an error in this case if it would ever be called in that way.
When starting a VM with hotpluggable memory devices the user may specify
an invalid source NUMA node. Libvirt would pass through the error from
qemu:

Since we now support CCW addresses as well.
Add support to start qemu instance with 'pc-dimm' device. Thanks to the
refactors we are able to reuse the existing function to determine the
parameters.
To enable memory hotplug the maximum memory size and slot count need to
be specified. As qemu supports now other units than mebibytes when
specifying memory, use the new interface in this case.
In the last section if the function determines that the config is
invalid when QEMU doesn't support the memory device the JSON config
object would be returned even if it doesn't make sense.
Assign the object to be returned only on success.
Problem Description:
When we set boot order for a vhost-user network interface, we found the boot index
doesn't work.
Cause of the Problem:
In the function qemuBuildVhostuserCommandLine(), it forcely set the arg bootindex of
function qemuBuildNicDevStr() to 0. Thus, the bootindex parameter got missing.
Solution:
Trans the arg bootindex down.

The memory sizes in qemu are aligned up to 1 MiB boundaries. There are
two places where this was done once for the total size and then for
individual NUMA cell sizes.
Add a function that will align the sizes in one place so that it's clear
where the sizes are aligned.
As there are two possible approaches to define a domain's memory size -
one used with legacy, non-NUMA VMs configured in the <memory> element
and per-node based approach on NUMA machines - the user needs to make
sure that both are specified correctly in the NUMA case.
To avoid this burden on the user I'd like to replace the NUMA case with
automatic totaling of the memory size. To achieve this I need to replace
direct access to the virDomainMemtune's 'max_balloon' field with
two separate getters depending on the desired size.
The two sizes are needed as:
1) Startup memory size doesn't include memory modules in some
hypervisors.
2) After startup these count as the usable memory size.
Note that the comments for the functions are future aware and document
state that will be present after a few later patches.
We interpret port values as signed int (convert them from char *),
so if a negative value is provided in network disk's configuration,
we accept it as valid, however there's an 'unknown cause' error raised later.
This error is only accidental because we return the port value in the return code.
This patch adds just a minor tweak to the already existing check so we
reject negative values the same way as we reject non-numerical strings.

Commit 4bbe1029f fixed a problem in commit f7afeddc by moving the call
to virNetDevGetIndex() to a location common to all interface types (so
that the nicindex array would be filled in for macvtap as well as tap
interfaces), but the location was *too* common, as the original call
to virNetDevGetIndex() had been in a section qualified by "if
(cfg->privileged)". The result was that the "fixed" libvirtd would try
to call virNetDevGetIndex() even for session mode libvirtd, and end up
failing with the log message:
Unable to open control socket: Operation not permitted
To remedy that, this patch qualifies the call to virNetDevGetIndex()
in its new location with cfg->privileged.

There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user. Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED. Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.
Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong. The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.
