Currently, if there's no hard memory limit defined for a domain,
libvirt tries to calculate one, based on domain definition and magic
equation and set it upon the domain startup. The rationale behind was,
if there's a memory leak or exploit in qemu, we should prevent the
host system trashing. However, the equation was too tightening, as it
didn't reflect what the kernel counts into the memory used by a
process. Since many hosts do have a swap, nobody hasn't noticed
anything, because if hard memory limit is reached, process can
continue allocating memory on a swap. However, if there is no swap on
the host, the process gets killed by OOM killer. In our case, the qemu
process it is.
To prevent this, we need to relax the hard RSS limit. Moreover, we
should reflect more precisely the kernel way of accounting the memory
for process. That is, even the kernel caches are counted within the
memory used by a process (within cgroups at least). Hence the magic
equation has to be changed:
limit = 1.5 * (domain memory + total video memory) + (32MB for cache
per each disk) + 200MB

When the cpu placement model is "auto", it sets the affinity for
domain process with the advisory nodeset from numad, however,
creating cgroup for the domain process (called emulator thread
in some contexts) later overrides that with pinning it to all
available pCPUs.
How to reproduce:
* Configure the domain with "auto" placement for <vcpu>, e.g.
<vcpu placement='auto'>4</vcpu>
* % virsh start dom
* % cat /proc/$dompid/status
Though the emulator cgroup cause conflicts, but we can't simply
prohibit creating it, as other tunables are still useful, such
as "emulator_period", which is used by API
virDomainSetSchedulerParameter. So this patch doesn't prohibit
creating the emulator cgroup, but inherit the nodeset from numad,
and reset the affinity for domain process.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.h: Modify definition of qemuSetupCgroupForEmulator
to accept the passed nodenet
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c: Set the affinity with the passed nodeset
We used to walk the backing file chain at least twice per disk,
once to set up cgroup device whitelisting, and once to set up
security labeling. Rather than walk the chain every iteration,
which possibly includes calls to fork() in order to open root-squashed
NFS files, we can exploit the cache of the previous patch.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath): Alter
signature.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath): Require caller
to supply backing chain via disk, if recursion is desired.

According to our recent changes (clarifications), we should be pinning
qemu's emulator processes using the <vcpu> 'cpuset' attribute in case
there is no <emulatorpin> specified. This however doesn't work
entirely as expected and this patch should resolve all the remaining
issues.

This is another fix for the emulator-pin series. When going through
the cputune pinning settings, the current code is trying to pin all
the CPUs, even when not all of them are specified. This causes error
in the subsequent function which, of course, cannot find the cpu to
pin. Since it's enough to pass the correct VCPU ID to the function,
the fix is trivial.
When domain XML contains any of the elements for setting up CPU
scheduling parameters (period, quota, emulator_period, or
emulator_quota) we need cpu cgroup to enforce the configuration.
However, the existing code would just ignore silently such settings if
either cgroups were not available at all cpu cgroup was not available.
Moreover, APIs for manipulating CPU scheduler parameters were already
failing if cpu cgroup was not available. This patch makes cpu cgroup
mandatory for all domains that use CPU scheduling elements in their XML.
If cgroups are enabled in general but cpu cgroup is disabled in
qemu.conf or not mounted at all, libvirt would refuse to start any
domain even though scheduler parameters are not set in domain XML.
This patch makes cpu cgroup mandatory only for domains that actually
want to use it.
Commit 4b03d59167 changed the pinning
behavior in a way that makes some machines non-startable.
The comment mentioning that we cannot control each vcpu when there is
not VCPU<-> PID mapping available is true, however, this isn't
necessarily an error, because this can be caused by old QEMU without
support for "query-cpus" command as well as a software emulated
machines that don't create more than one process.
This patch introduces support of setting emulator's period and
quota to limit cpu bandwidth when the vm starts. Also updates
XML Schema for new entries and docs.
This patch changes the behaviour of xml element cputune.period
and cputune.quota to limit cpu bandwidth only for vcpus, and no
longer limit cpu bandwidth for the whole guest.
The reasons to do this are:
- This matches docs of cputune.period and cputune.quota.
- The other parts excepting vcpus are treated as "emulator",
and there are separate period/quota settings for emulator
in the subsequent patches

If there's a memory leak in qemu or qemu is exploited the host's
system will sooner or later start trashing instead of killing
the bad process. This however has impact on performance and other
guests as well. Therefore we should set a reasonable RSS limit
even when user hasn't set any. It's better to be secure by default.
Any time we have a string with no % passed through gettext, a
translator can inject a % to cause a stack overread. When there
is nothing to format, it's easier to ask for a string that cannot
be used as a formatter, by using a trivial "%s" format instead.
In the past, we have used --disable-nls to catch some of the
offenders, but that doesn't get run very often, and many more
uses have crept in. Syntax check to the rescue!
The syntax check can catch uses such as
virReportError(code,
_("split "
"string"));
by using a sed script to fold context lines into one pattern
space before checking for a string without %.
This patch is just mechanical insertion of %s; there are probably
several messages touched by this patch where we would be better
off giving the user more information than a fixed string.

Like for 'static' placement, when the memory policy mode is
'strict', set the memory policy by writing the advisory nodeset
returned from numad to cgroup file cpuset.mems,
This eliminates the warning message reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624447
It was caused by a failure to open an image file that is not
accessible by root (the uid libvirtd is running as) because it's on a
root-squash NFS share, owned by a different user, with permissions of
660 (or maybe 600).
The solution is to use virFileOpenAs() rather than open(). The
codepath that generates the error is during qemuSetupDiskCGroup(), but
the actual open() is in a lower-level generic function called from
many places (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath), so some other pieces of the
code were touched just to add dummy (or possibly useful) uid and gid
arguments.
Eliminating this warning message has the nice side effect that the
requested operation may even succeed (which in this case isn't
necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything either).

(continued)
virsh start dom
# issue 2: If /dev/sdb doesn't exist, libvirt refuses to bring the
# dom up because it wants to set the device weight to 0 of a
# non-existing device. Since 0 means no weight-limit, we really don't
# have to set it.
The cpu bandwidth is applied at the vcpu group level. We should apply it
at the vm group level too, because the vm may do heavy I/O, and it will affect
the other vm.
We apply cpu bandwidth at the vcpu and the vm group level, so we must ensure
that max(child_quota) <= parent_quota when we modify cpu bandwidth.
