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

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/622515 - When hot-unplugging CPUs,
libvirt failed to start a guest that had been pinned to CPUs that
were still online.
Tested on a dual-core laptop, where I also discovered that, per
http://www.cyberciti.biz/files/linux-kernel/Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt,
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online does not exist on systems where it
cannot be hot-unplugged.
* src/nodeinfo.c (linuxNodeInfoCPUPopulate): Ignore CPUs that are
currently offline. Detect readdir failure.

device_del command is not synchronous for PCI devices, it merely asks
the guest to release the device and returns. If the host wants to use
that device before the guest actually releases it, we are in big
trouble. To avoid this, we already added a loop which waits up to 10
seconds until the device is actually released before we do anything else
with that device. But we only added this loop for managed PCI devices
before we try reattach them back to the host.
However, we need to wait even for non-managed devices. We don't reattach
them automatically, but we still want to prevent the host from using it.
This was revealed thanks to sVirt: when we relabel sysfs files
corresponding to the PCI device before the guest finished releasing the
device, qemu is no longer allowed to access those files and if it wants
(as a result of guest's request) to write anything to them, it just
exits, which kills the guest.
This is not a proper fix and needs some further work both on libvirt and
qemu side in the future.

gopts.var('bootargs', val='NAME',

the "bootloader_args" parameter needs to be translated into "bootargs"

The reverse direction (domxml-from-native) is already okay.

src/phyp/phyp_driver.c:phypListDomainsGeneric was crashing due to a buffer
overflow if any line returned from virRun wasn't <=10 characters.
Since virStrToLong_i recognizes any non-numeric as a terminator (not
just NULL), there actually is no need to copy the number into a
separate string anyway, so this patch eliminates that copy, the fixed
length buffer, and therefore the potential to overflow.
This change also provided the oppurtunity to eliminate the character
counting loop, instead using the return from virStrToLong_i to point
past the end of the number, then simply skip the \n to get to the
next.
Since the rule to build libvirtd.8 is within the WITH_LIBVIRTD conditional,
so declare the man page in there as well. Without this change, build
without daemon will fail.

There has been a frequent complaint of:
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/remote/eblake/libvirt/po'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/config.status', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
It happens after nuking and regenerating the po directory,
which is a common action after running anything like
'make dist' or 'make rpm' that dirties all the .po files.
Teach autogen.sh that it must regenerate po/Makevars to avoid
the missing variable declaration, and teach cfg.mk to recognize
that a nuked po directory is cause to rerun autogen.sh.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Check for po/Makevars.
* autogen.sh (bootstrap): Run bootstrap if it got lost.

Patch version revamped by Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> of Jiri
Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com> original patch
When attaching a PCI device which doesn't explicitly set its PCI
address, libvirt allocates the address automatically. The problem is
that when checking which PCI address is unused, we only check for those
with slot number higher than the highest slot number ever used.
Thus attaching/detaching such device several times in a row (31 is the
theoretical limit, less then 30 tries are enough in practise) makes any
further device attachment fail. Furthermore, attaching a device with
predefined PCI address to 0:0:31 immediately forbids attachment of any
PCI device without explicit address.
This patch changes the logic so that we always check all PCI addresses
before we say there is no PCI address available.
Modifications from v1: revert back to remembering the last slot
reserved, but allow wraparound to not be limited by the end.
In this way, slots are still assigned in the same order as
before the patch, rather than filling in the gaps closest to
0 and risking making windows guests mad.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: fix pci reservation code to do a round-robbin
check of all available PCI splot availability before failing.
Don't rely on summary.url anymore, because its value is different
between an esx:// and vpx:// connection. Use host.mountInfo.path
instead.
Don't fallback to lookup by UUID (actually lookup by absolute path)
in esxVI_LookupDatastoreByName when lookup by name fails. Add a
seperate function for this: esxVI_LookupDatastoreByAbsolutePath
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.
Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.
esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.
Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.

This patch attempts to take advantage of a newly added netfilter
module to correct for a problem with some guest DHCP client
implementations when used in conjunction with a DHCP server run on the
host systems with packet checksum offloading enabled.
The problem is that, when the guest uses a RAW socket to read the DHCP
response packets, the checksum hasn't yet been fixed by the IP stack,
so it is incorrect.
The fix implemented here is to add a rule to the POSTROUTING chain of
the mangle table in iptables that fixes up the checksum for packets on
the virtual network's bridge that are destined for the bootpc port (ie
"dhcpc", ie port 68) port on the guest.
Only very new versions of iptables will have this support (it will be
in the next upstream release), so a failure to add this rule only
results in a warning message. The iptables patch is here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/58525/
A corresponding kernel module patch is also required (the backend of
the iptables patch) and that will be in the next release of the
kernel.
When trying to assign a PCI device to a guest, we have
to check that all bridges upstream of that device support
ACS. That means that we have to find the parent bridge of
the current device, check for ACS, then find the parent bridge
of that device, check for ACS, etc. As it currently stands,
the code to do this iterates through all PCI devices on the
system, looking for a device that has a range of busses that
included the current device's bus.
That check is not restrictive enough, though. Depending on
how we iterated through the list of PCI devices, we could first
find the *topmost* bridge in the system; since it necessarily had
a range of busses including the current device's bus, we
would only ever check the topmost bridge, and not check
any of the intermediate bridges.
Note that this also caused a fairly serious bug in the
secondary bus reset code, where we could erroneously
find and reset the topmost bus instead of the inner bus.
This patch changes pciGetParentDevice() so that it first
checks if a bridge device's secondary bus exactly matches
the bus of the device we are looking for. If it does, we've
found the correct parent bridge and we are done. If it does not,
then we check to see if this bridge device's busses *include* the
bus of the device we care about. If so, we mark this bridge device
as best, and go on. If we later find another bridge device whose
busses include this device, but is more restrictive, then we
free up the previous best and mark the new one as best. This
algorithm ensures that in the normal case we find the direct
parent, but in the case that the parent bridge secondary bus
is not exactly the same as the device, we still find the
correct bridge.
This patch was tested by me on a 4-port NIC with a
bridge without ACS (where assignment failed), a 4-port
NIC with a bridge with ACS (where assignment succeeded),
and a 2-port NIC with no bridges (where assignment
succeeded).

When an openvz domain is defined with virDomainDefineXML,
domain id is set to -1. A call to virDomainGetInfo after
starting the domain would then fail because this invalid
id is passed to openvzGetProcessInfo.
Found by clang. Clang complained that virStorageBackendProbeTarget
could dereference NULL if backingStoreFormat was NULL, but since all
callers passed a valid pointer, I added attributes instead of null
checks.

* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c (virStorageBackendProbeTarget):
Likewise. Skip null checks, by adding attributes.
valgrind was complaining that virUUIDParse was depending on
an uninitialized value. Indeed it was; virSetHostUUIDStr()
didn't initialize the dmiuuid buffer to 0's, meaning that
anything after the string read from /sys was uninitialized.
Clear out the dmiuuid buffer before use, and make sure to
always leave a \0 at the end.
