Quite often, I need to cite URLs like

but it is annoying to copy them from the table of contents or the html
source.
This patch borrows from the Python documentation in order to make it
easier to cite headers on libvirt's oneline documentation.
This patch allows libvirt user to specify 'host-passthrough'
cpu mode while using qemu/kvm backend on aarch64.
It uses 'host' as a CPU model name instead of some other stub
(correct CPU detection is not implemented yet) to allow libvirt
user to specify 'host-model' cpu mode as well.

Windows doesn't allow : in filenames.
Commit 21685c955e added files with a : in
their names. This broke git operations on Windows as git is not able to
create those files on clone or pull.
Replace : with - in the offending filenames and adapt the test case.
Currently the qemuDomainGetBlockInfo will return allocation == physical
for most backing stores. For a qcow2 block backed device it's possible
to return the highest lv extent allocated from qemu for an active guest.
That is a value where allocation != physical and one would hope be less.
However, if the guest is not running, then the code falls back to returning
allocation == physical. This turns out to be problematic for rhev which
monitors the size of the backing store. During a migration, before the
VM has been started on the target and while it is deemed inactive on the
source, there's a small window of time where the allocation is returned
as physical triggering the code to extend the file unnecessarily.
Since rhev uses transient domains and this is edge condition for a transient
domain, rather than returning good status and allocation == physical when
this "window of opportunity" exists, this patch will check for a transient
(or non persistent) domain and return a failure to the caller rather than
returning the defaults. For a persistent domain, the defaults will be
returned. The description for the virDomainGetBlockInfo has been updated
to describe the phenomena.
the array params is allocated by VIR_ALLOC_N in
remoteDispatchDomainGetCPUStats. it had been set
to zero. No need to reset it to zero again, and
this reset here is incorrect too, nparams * ncpus
is the array length not the size of params array.

On Fedora 20, mingw-headers has switched over to winpthreads as
the provider for its <pthread.h>. winpthreads is notorious for
providing a less-than-stellar header, and needs several workarounds
before it can be used in a project assuming POSIX semantics. While
we still use Windows primitives rather than pthread when compiling
for mingw, this update will make it possible to switch to mingw
pthreads.

Unlike the host devices of other types, SCSI host device XML supports
"shareable" tag. This patch introduces it for the virSCSIDevice struct
for a later patch use (to detect if the SCSI device is shareable when
preparing the SCSI host device in QEMU driver).
The "checkPool" is a bit different for pool with "fc_host"
type source adapter, since the vHBA it's based on might be
not created yet (it's created by "startPool", which is
involked after "checkPool" in storageDriverAutostart). So it
should not fail, otherwise the "autostart" of the pool will
fail either.
The problem is easy to reproduce:
* Enable "autostart" for the pool
* Restart libvirtd service
* Check the pool's state

For pool which relies on remote resources, such as a "iscsi" type
pool, since how long it takes to export the corresponding devices
to host's sysfs is really depended, it could depend on the network
connection, it also could depend on the host's udev procedures. So
it's likely that the volumes are not able to be detected during pool
starting process, polling the sysfs doesn't work, since we don't
know how much time is best for the polling, and even worse, the
volumes could still be not detected or partly not detected even after
the polling. So we end up with a documentation to prompt the fact,
in virsh manual.
And as a small improvement, let's explicitly say no LUNs found in
the debug log in that case.
There are 2 issues here: First we shouldn't add "1" to the return
value of numa_max_node(), since the semanteme of the error message
was changed, it's not saying about the number of total NUMA nodes
anymore. Second, the value of "bit" is the position of the first
bit which exceeds either numa_max_node() or NUMA_NUM_NODES, it can
be any number in the range, so saying "bigger than $bit" is quite
confused now. For example, assuming there is a NUMA machine which
has 10 NUMA nodes, and one specifies the "nodeset" as "0,5,88",
the error message will be like:
Nodeset is out of range, host cannot support NUMA node bigger than 88
It sounds like all NUMA node number less than 88 is fine, but
actually the maximum NUMA node number the machine supports is 9.
This patch fixes the issues by removing the addition with "1" and
simplifies the error message as "NUMA node $bit is out of range".
Also simplifies the comparision in the while loop by getting the
smaller one of numa_max_node() and NUMA_NUM_NODES up front.
I noticed that we allow virDomainGetVcpusFlags even for read-only
connections, but that with a flag, it can require guest agent
interaction. It is feasible that a malicious guest could
intentionally abuse the replies it sends over the guest agent
connection to possibly trigger a bug in libvirt's JSON parser,
or withhold an answer so as to prevent the use of the agent
in a later command such as a shutdown request. Although we
don't know of any such exploits now (and therefore don't mind
posting this patch publicly without trying to get a CVE assigned),
it is better to err on the side of caution and explicitly require
full access to any domain where the API requires guest interaction
to operate correctly.
I audited all commands that are marked as conditionally using a
guest agent. Note that at least virDomainFSTrim is documented
as needing a guest agent, but that such use is unconditional
depending on the hypervisor (so the existing domain:fs_trim ACL
should be sufficient there, rather than also requirng domain:write).
But when designing future APIs, such as the plans for obtaining
a domain's IP addresses, we should copy the approach of this patch
in making interaction with the guest be specified via a flag, and
use that flag to also require stricter access checks.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainGetVcpusFlags): Forbid guest interaction
on read-only connection.

interaction.

Bugs have been found in the VirtualBox API C bindings. These bugs have
been fixed in versions 4.2.20 and 4.3.4. However, the changes in the
C bindings are incompatible with the vbox_CAPI_v4_2.h and vbox_CAPI_v4_3.h
files which are bundled in libvirt source code.
This is why the following patch adds vbox_CAPI_v4_2_20.h and
vbox_CAPI_v4_3_4.h.
The actual underlying problem here is that until now,
libvirt assumed that VirtualBox API can only change between minor
versions (4.2 -> 4.3), but we have a case here where it changed
(or got fixed) between patch versions (4.2.18 -> 4.2.20).
This patch makes the VBOX_API_VERSION represent the full API
version number (i.e 4002 => 4002000) so there are specific version
numbers for Vbox 4.2.20 (4002020) and 4.3.4 (4003004)
Libvirtd would crash if a domain contained an empty cdrom drive of
type='volume' as the disk def->srcpool member would be dereferenced. Fix
it by checking if the source pool is present before dereferencing it.
Also alter tests to catch this issue in the future.

To retrieve node cpu statistics on Linux system, the
linuxNodeGetCPUstats function simply uses STRPREFIX() to match the cpuid
with the one read from /proc/stat. However, as the file is read line by
line it may happen, that some CPUs share the same prefix. So if user
requested stats for the first CPU, which is offline, then there's no
cpu1 in the stats file so the one that we match is cpu10. Which is
obviously wrong. Fortunately, the IDs are terminated by a space, so we
can utilize that.

SCSI passthrough disks (<disk .. device="lun">) can't be used as backing
for snapshots. Currently with upstream qemu the vm crashes on such
attempt.
This patch adds a early check to catch an attempt to do such a snapshot
and rejects it right away. qemu will fix the issue but this will let us
control the error message.
I noticed this problem when adding systemd support to netcf, because I
setup the configure.ac to automatically prefer using systemd over
initscripts when possible - although I had copied the
install-data-local target from the example of libvirt's
"libvirt-guests" service more or less verbatim, "make distcheck" would
fail because it was trying to install the service file directly into
/lib/systemd/system rather than into
/home/user/some/unimportant/name/lib/systemd/system.
This is caused by the install/uninstall rules for the systemd unit
files relying on $(DESTDIR) pointing the installed files to the right
place, but in reality $(DESTDIR) is empty during this part of make
distcheck - it instead sets $(prefix) with the toplevel directory used
for its test build/install/uninstall cycle.
(This problem hasn't been seen when running "make distcheck" in
libvirt because libvirt will never build/install systemd support
unless explicitly told to do so on the configure commandline, and
"make distcheck" doesn't put the "--with-initscript=..." option on the
configure commandline.)
I verified that the same problem does exist in libvirt by modifying
libvirt's configure.ac to set:
init_systemd=yes
with_init_script=systemd+redhat
This forces a build/install of the systemd unit files during
distcheck, which yields an error like this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 virtlockd.service \
/lib/systemd/system/
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libvirt-qemu.la'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove '/lib/systemd/system/virtlockd.service': Permission denied
make[4]: *** [install-systemd] Error 1
After adding $(prefix) to all the definitions of SYSTEMD_UNIT_DIR,
make distcheck now completes successfully with the modified
configure.ac, and the above lines change to something like this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 virtlockd.service \
/home/laine/devel/libvirt/libvirt-1.2.1/_inst/lib/systemd/system/
We shouldn't access the domain definition while we are in the monitor
section as the domain is unlocked. Additionally after we exit from the
monitor we need to check if the VM is still alive. Not doing so resulted
in a crash if qemu exits while attempting to do an external VM snapshot.

Since commit v0.9.0-47-g4e8969e (released in 0.9.1) some failures during
device detach were reported to callers of virPCIDeviceBindToStub as
success. For example, even though a device seemed to be detached
virsh # nodedev-detach pci_0000_07_05_0 --driver vfio
Device pci_0000_07_05_0 detached
one could find similar message in libvirt logs:
Failed to bind PCI device '0000:07:05.0' to vfio-pci: No such device
This patch fixes these paths and also avoids overwriting real errors
with errors encountered during a cleanup phase.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046919
When a PCI device is not bound to any driver, reattach should just
trigger driver probe rather than failing with
Invalid device 0000:00:19.0 driver file
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver is not a symlink
While virPCIDeviceGetDriverPathAndName was documented to return success
and NULL driver and path when a device is not attached to any driver but
didn't do so. Thus callers could not distinguish unbound devices from
failures.
