This needs to specified in way too many places for a simple validation

DomainDefParseXML should catch most of the cases that this was covering.
A destroy operation can take considerable time on large memory
domains due to scrubbing the domain's memory. Unlock the

Implement libxlDomainDestroyInternal wrapper to handle unlocking,

A job should be acquired at the beginning of a domain destroy operation,
not at the end when cleaning up the domain. Fix two occurrences of this
late job acquisition in the libxl driver. Doing so renders
libxlDomainCleanupJob unused, so it is removed.

Although needed in the Xen 4.1 libxl days, there is no longer any
benefit to having per-domain libxl_ctx. On the contrary, their use
makes the code unecessarily complicated and prone to deadlocks under
load. As suggested by the libxl maintainers, use a single libxl_ctx
as a handle to libxl instead of per-domain ctx's.
One downside to using a single libxl_ctx is there are no longer
per-domain log files for log messages emitted by libxl. Messages
for all domains will be sent to /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log.

Informing libxl how to handle its child proceses should be done once
during driver initialization, not once for each domain-specific
libxl_ctx object. The related libxl documentation in

call this at initialisation".

Long ago I incorrectly associated libxl fd and timer registrations
with per-domain libxl_ctx objects. When creating a libxlDomainObjPrivate,
a libxl_ctx is allocated, and libxl_osevent_register_hooks is called
passing a pointer to the libxlDomainObjPrivate. When an fd or timer
registration occurred, the registration callback received the
libxlDomainObjPrivate, containing the per-domain libxl_ctx. This
libxl_ctx was then used when informing libxl about fd events or
timer expirations.
The problem with this approach is that fd and timer registrations do not
share the same lifespan as libxlDomainObjPrivate, and hence the per-domain
libxl_ctx ojects. The result is races between per-domain libxl_ctx's being
destoryed and events firing on associated fds/timers, typically manifesting
as an assert in libxl
libxl_internal.h:2788: libxl__ctx_unlock: Assertion `!r' failed
There is no need to associate libxlDomainObjPrivate objects with libxl's
desire to use libvirt's event loop. Instead, the driver-wide libxl_ctx can
be used for the fd and timer registrations.
This patch moves the fd and timer handling code away from the
domain-specific code in libxl_domain.c into libxl_driver.c. While at it,
function names were changed a bit to better describe their purpose.
The unnecessary locking was also removed since the code simply provides a
wrapper over the event loop interface. Indeed the locks may have been
causing some deadlocks when repeatedly creating/destroying muliple domains.
There have also been rumors about such deadlocks during parallel OpenStack
Tempest runs.

When converting domXML from native, the libxl driver was overwriting
useful errors from the xenconfig parsing code with a useless, generic

"internal error: config value usbdevice was malformed". Remove the
redundant (and useless) error reporting in the libxl driver.

As pointed out by jtomko in his review of the IOThreads pinning code:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-March/msg00495.html
there are some comments sprinkled in indicating IOThreads were using
the same structure as the VcpuPin code...
This is the first patch of a few that will change the virDomainVcpuPin*
structures and code to just virDomainPin* - starting with the data
structure naming...
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.
It will not be possible to detach such device later. Also improve
logging in such cases.

Use it everywhere we use ignore_value on virBitmapGetBit, or loop over
the bitmap size.
In the old days of a global driver lock, it was necessary to unlock

was removed from the driver, some remnants were left behind in
libxlDomainRestoreFlags. Remove this unneeded (and incorrect) code.

For stateless, client side drivers, it is never correct to
probe for secondary drivers. It is only ever appropriate to
use the secondary driver that is associated with the
hypervisor in question. As a result the ESX & HyperV drivers
have both been forced to do hacks where they register no-op
drivers for the ones they don't implement.
For stateful, server side drivers, we always just want to
use the same built-in shared driver. The exception is
virtualbox which is really a stateless driver and so wants
to use its own server side secondary drivers. To deal with
this virtualbox has to be built as 3 separate loadable
modules to allow registration to work in the right order.
This can all be simplified by introducing a new struct
recording the precise set of secondary drivers each
hypervisor driver wants
struct _virConnectDriver {
virHypervisorDriverPtr hypervisorDriver;
virInterfaceDriverPtr interfaceDriver;
virNetworkDriverPtr networkDriver;
virNodeDeviceDriverPtr nodeDeviceDriver;
virNWFilterDriverPtr nwfilterDriver;
virSecretDriverPtr secretDriver;
virStorageDriverPtr storageDriver;
};
Instead of registering the hypervisor driver, we now
just register a virConnectDriver instead. This allows
us to remove all probing of secondary drivers. Once we
have chosen the primary driver, we immediately know the
correct secondary drivers to use.

The path to the pty of a Xen PV console is set only in
virDomainOpenConsole. But this is done too late. A call to
virDomainGetXMLDesc done before OpenConsole will not have the path to
the pty, but a call after OpenConsole will.
e.g. of the current issue.
Starting a domain with '<console type="pty"/>'
Then:
virDomainGetXMLDesc():
<devices>
<console type='pty'>
<target type='xen' port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
virDomainOpenConsole()
virDomainGetXMLDesc():
<devices>
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/30'>
<source path='/dev/pts/30'/>
<target type='xen' port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
The patch intend to have the TTY path on the first call of GetXMLDesc.
This is done by setting up the path at domain start up instead of in
OpenConsole.

The virDomainDefParse* and virDomainDefFormat* methods both
accept the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags defined in the public API,
along with a set of other VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags
defined in domain_conf.c.
This is seriously confusing & error prone for a number of
reasons:
- VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE, VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE and
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU are only relevant for the
formatting operation
- Some of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags only apply
to parse or to format, but not both.
This patch cleanly separates out the flags. There are two
distint VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_* and VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_*
flags that are used by the corresponding methods. The
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags received via public API calls must
be converted to the VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_* flags where
needed.
The various calls to virDomainDefParse which hardcoded the
use of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE flag change to use the
VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_INACTIVE flag.
Now that xenconfig supports parsing and formatting Xen's
XL config format, integrate it into the libxl driver's
connectDomainXML{From,To}Native functions.

This patch contains three domain cleanup improvements in the migration
finish phase, ensuring a domain is properly disposed when a failure is
detected or the migration is cancelled.
The check for virDomainObjIsActive is moved to libxlDomainMigrationFinish,
where cleanup can occur if migration failed and the domain is inactive.
The 'cleanup' label was missplaced in libxlDomainMigrationFinish, causing
a migrated domain to remain in the event of an error or cancelled migration.
In cleanup, the domain was not removed from the driver's list of domains.

Moving data reception of the perform phase of migration to a
thread introduces a race with the finish phase, where checking
if the domain is active races with the thread finishing the
perform phase. The race is easily solved by acquiring a job in
the finish phase, which must wait for the perform phase job to
complete.
While wrapping the finish phase in a job, noticed the virDomainObj
was being unlocked in a callee - libxlDomainMigrationFinish. Move
the unlocking to libxlDomainMigrateFinish3Params, where the lock
is acquired.

There is no need to acquire the driver-wide lock in
libxlDomainDefineXML. When switching to jobs in the libxl
driver, most driver-wide locks were removed. The locking here
was preserved since I mistakenly thought virDomainObjListAdd
needed protection. This is not the case, so remove the
unnecessary locking.
Test suites using the port allocator don't want to have different
behaviour depending on whether a port is in use on the host. Add
a VIR_PORT_ALLOCATOR_SKIP_BIND_CHECK which test suites can use
to skip the bind() test. The port allocator will thus only track
ports in use by the test suite process itself. This is fine when
using the port allocator to generate guest configs which won't
actually be launched

During migration, the libxl driver starts a modify job in the
begin phase, ending the job in the confirm phase. This is
essentially VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION semantics, but the
driver does not support that flag. Without CHANGE_PROTECTION
support, the job would never be terminated in error conditions
where migrate confirm phase is not executed. Further attempts
to modify the domain would result in failure to acquire a job
after LIBXL_JOB_WAIT_TIME.
Similar to the qemu driver, end the job in the begin phase.
Protecting the domain object across all phases of migration can
be done in a future patch adding CHANGE_PROTECTION support.
In libxlDomainMigrationPrepare(), a new virDomainObj is created
from the incoming domain def and added to the driver's domain
list, but never removed if there are subsequent failures during
the prepare phase.
targethost# virsh list --all
sourcehost# virsh migrate --live dom xen+ssh://targethost/system
error: operation failed: Fail to create socket for incoming migration.
targethost# virsh list --all
error: Failed to list domains
error: name in virGetDomain must not be NULL
After adding code to remove the domain on prepare failure, noticed
that libvirtd crashed due to double free of the virDomainDef. Similar
to the qemu driver, pass a pointer to virDomainDefPtr so it can be set
to NULL once a virDomainObj is created from it.
Replace:
if (virBufferError(&buf)) {
virBufferFreeAndReset(&buf);
virReportOOMError();
...
}
with:
if (virBufferCheckError(&buf) < 0)
...
This should not be a functional change (unless some callers
misused the virBuffer APIs - a different error would be reported
then)
So far, we only report an error if formatting the siblings bitmap
in NUMA topology fails.
Be consistent and always report error in virCapabilitiesFormatXML.
libxl does not support save, restore, or migrate on all architectures,
