The next patch will make it possible to have virDomainSetBlkioParameters
leave device weights unchanged if they are not mentioned in the incoming
string, but this only works if the list of block weights does not allow
duplicate paths. Technically, a user can still confuse libvirt by
passing alternate spellings that resolve to the same device, but it
is not worth worrying about working around that kind of abuse.

This adds per-device weights to <blkiotune>. Note that the
cgroups implementation only supports weights per block device,
and not per-file within the device; hence this option must be
global to the domain definition rather than tied to individual
<devices>/<disk> entries:
<domain ...>
<blkiotune>
<device>
<path>/path/to/block</path>
<weight>1000</weight>
</device>
</blkiotune>
..
This patch also adds a parameter --device-weights to virsh command
blkiotune for setting/getting blkiotune.weight_device for any
hypervisor that supports it. All <device> entries under
<blkiotune> are concatenated into a single string attribute under
virDomain{Get,Set}BlkioParameters, named "device_weight".

One of my latest patches 2e37bf42d2
copy serial console definition. On domain shutdown we save this
info into state XML. However, later on the daemon start we simply
drop this info and since we are not re-reading qemu log,
vm->def->consoles[0] does not get populated with copy. Therefore
we need to avoid dropping console definition if it is just alias
for serial console.
None of the callers cared if str was updated to point to the next
byte after the parsed cpuset; simplifying this results in quite
a few code simplifications. Additionally, virCPUDefParseXML was
strdup()'ing a malloc()'d string; avoiding a memory copy resulted
in less code.

Now, when we support multiple consoles per domain,
the vm->def->console[0] can still remain an alias
for vm->def->serial[0]; However, we need to copy
it's source definition as well otherwise we'll regress
on virDomainOpenConsole.
NWFilters can be provided name-value pairs using the following
XML notation:
<filterref filter='xyz'>
<parameter name='PORT' value='80'/>
<parameter name='VAL' value='abc'/>
</filterref>
The internal representation currently is so that a name is stored as a
string and the value as well. This patch now addresses the value part of it
and introduces a data structure for storing a value either as a simple
value or as an array for later support of lists.
This patch adjusts all code that was handling the values in hash tables
and makes it use the new data type.

For whatever reason, the kernel allows you to create a regular
file named /dev/sdc.12345; although this file will disappear the
next time devtmpfs is remounted. If you let libvirt generate
the name of the external snapshot for a disk image originally
using the block device /dev/sdc, then the domain will be rendered
unbootable once the qcow2 file is lost on the next devtmpfs
remount. In this case, the user should have used 'virsh
snapshot-create --xmlfile' or 'virsh snapshot-create-as --diskspec'
to specify the name for the qcow2 file in a sane location, rather
than relying on libvirt generating a name that is most likely to
be wrong. We can help avoid naive mistakes by enforcing that
the user provide the external name for any backing file that is
not a regular file.

To support "managed" mode of host PCI device, we record the original
states (unbind_from_stub, remove_slot, and reprobe) so that could
reattach the device to host with original driver. But there is no XML
for theses attrs, and thus after daemon is restarted, we lose the
original states. It's easy to reproduce:
1) virsh start domain
2) virsh attach-device dom hostpci.xml (in 'managed' mode)
3) service libvirtd restart
4) virsh destroy domain
You will see the device won't be bound to the original driver
if there was one.
This patch is to solve the problem by introducing internal XML
(won't be dumped to user, only dumped to status XML). The XML is:
<origstates>
<unbind/>
<remove_slot/>
<reprobe/>
</origstates>
Which will be child node of <hostdev><source>...</souce></hostdev>.
(only for PCI device).
A new struct "virDomainHostdevOrigStates" is introduced for the XML,
and the according members are updated when preparing the PCI device.
And function "qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs" is modified to honor
the original states. Use of qemuGetPciHostDeviceList is removed
in function "qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs", and the "managed" value of
the device config is honored by the change. This fixes another problem
alongside:
qemuGetPciHostDeviceList set the device as "managed" force
regardless of whether the device is configured as "managed='yes'"
or not in XML, which is not right.

No one was using virDomainSnapshotHasChildren, but that was an
O(n) function. Exposing and tracking a bit more metadata for each
snapshot will allow the same query to be made with an O(1) query
of the member field. For single snapshot operations (create,
delete), callers can be trusted to maintain the metadata themselves,
but for reloading, we can't compute parents as we go since there
is no guarantee that parents were parsed before children, so we also
provide a function to refresh the relationships, and which can
be used to detect if the user has ignored our warnings and been
directly modifying files in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot. This
patch only adds metadata; later patches will actually use it.
This layout intentionally hardcodes the size of each snapshot struct,
by tracking sibling pointers, rather than having to deal with the
headache of yet more memory management by directly sticking a
dynamically sized child[] on each parent.

Not too hard to wire up. The trickiest part is realizing that

Previously libvirt's disk device XML only had a single attribute,
error_policy, to control both read and write error policy, but qemu
has separate options for controlling read and write. In one case
(enospc) a policy is allowed for write errors but not read errors.
This patch adds a separate attribute that sets only the read error
policy. If just error_policy is set, it will apply to both read and
write error policy (previous behavior), but if the new rerror_policy
attribute is set, it will override error_policy for read errors only.
Possible values for rerror_policy are "stop", "report", and "ignore"
("report" is the qemu-controlled default for rerror_policy when
error_policy isn't specified).
For consistency, the value "report" has been added to the possible
values for error_policy as well.
commit 12062ab set rerror=ignore when error_policy="enospace" was
selected (since the rerror option in qemu doesn't accept "enospc", as
the werror option does).
After that patch was already pushed, Paolo Bonzini noticed it and
commented that leaving rerror at the default ("report") would be a
better choice. This patch corrects the problem - if error_policy =
"enospace" is given, rerror is left off the qemu commandline,
effectively setting it to "report". For other values, rerror is still
set to match werror.
Additionally, the parsing of error_policy was changed to no longer
erroneously allow "default" as a choice - as with most other
attributes, if you want the default setting, just don't specify an
error_policy.
Finally, two ommissions in the first patch were corrected - a
long-dormant qemuxml2argv test for enospace was enabled, and fixed to
pass, and the argv2xml parser in qemu_command.c was updated to
recognize the different spelling on the qemu commandline.
When booting a virtual machine with a kernel/initrd it is possible
to pass command line arguments using the <cmdline>...args...</cmdline>
element in the guest XML. These appear to the kernel / init process
in /proc/cmdline.
When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline,
but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally
we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a
regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve
libvirt parsing the <cmdline> XML text. This can easily be added
later, even if we add the env variable now
* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document env variables passed to LXC
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add <cmdline> to be parsed for
guests of type='exe'
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Set LIBVIRT_LXC_CMDLINE env var
This patch is a fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743176
which was discovered by Dan Berrange while making bandwidth
configuration work for LXC guests.
Background: Although virtportprofile data from a network portgroup is
only applicable for direct mode interfaces, the code that copies
bandwidth data from the portgroup was also only being executed in the
case of direct mode interfaces. The result was that interfaces using
traditional virtual networks (forward mode='nat|route|none'), and
those using a host bridge for forwarding, would not pick up bandwidth
data from a portgroup defined in the network.
This patch moves that code outside the conditional, so that bandwidth
information is *alway* copied from the appropriate portgroup (unless
the <interface> definition itself already has bandwidth information,
which would take precedence over what's in the portgroup anyway).
When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174
and the discussion before and after
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html
This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.
With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.
A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).
This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
