We previously assumed that if the -device option existed in qemu, that
-nodefconfig would also exist. It turns out that isn't the case, as
demonstrated by qemu-kvm-0.12.3 in Fedora 13.
*/src/qemu/qemu_conf.[hc] - add a new QEMUD_CMD_FLAG, set it via the
help output, and check it before adding
-nodefconfig to the qemu commandline.
Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller
model anymore:
<driver name='buslogic'/>
Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>
The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.
Update the documentation and tests accordingly.
Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use
controller, bus and unit properly.
The domain XML parsing code autogenerates disk address and
controller elements when they are not explicitly specified.
The code assumes a narrow SCSI bus (7 units per bus). ESX
uses a wide SCSI bus (16 units per bus).
This is a step towards controller support for the ESX driver.
Move libnl to libvirt_util.la, because macvtap.c requires it.
Add GnuTLS to libvirt_driver.la, because libvirt.c calls gcrypt functions.
When built without loadable driver modules, then the remote driver pulls
in GnuTLS.
Move libgnu.la from libvirt_parthelper_CFLAGS to libvirt_parthelper_LDADD.
Through conversation with Kumar L Srikanth-B22348, I found
that the function of getting memory usage (e.g., virsh dominfo)
doesn't work for lxc with ns subsystem of cgroup enabled.
This is because of features of ns and memory subsystems.
Ns creates child cgroup on every process fork and as a result
processes in a container are not assigned in a cgroup for
domain (e.g., libvirt/lxc/test1/). For example, libvirt_lxc
and init (or somewhat specified in XML) are assigned into
libvirt/lxc/test1/8839/ and libvirt/lxc/test1/8839/8849/,
respectively. On the other hand, memory subsystem accounts
memory usage within a group of processes by default, i.e.,
it does not take any child (and descendant) groups into
account. With the two features, virsh dominfo which just
checks memory usage of a cgroup for domain always returns
zero because the cgroup has no process.
Setting memory.use_hierarchy of a group allows to account
(and limit) memory usage of every descendant groups of the group.
By setting it of a cgroup for domain, we can get proper memory
usage of lxc with ns subsystem enabled. (To be exact, the
setting is required only when memory and ns subsystems are
enabled at the same time, e.g., mount -t cgroup none /cgroup.)
As same as normal directories, a cgroup cannot be removed if it
contains sub groups. This patch changes virCgroupRemove to remove
all descendant groups (subdirectories) of a target group before
removing the target group.
The handling is required when we run lxc with ns subsystem of cgroup.
Ns subsystem automatically creates child cgroups on every process
forks, but unfortunately the groups are not removed on process exits,
so we have to remove them by ourselves.
With this patch, such child (and descendant) groups are surely removed
at lxc shutdown, i.e., lxcVmCleanup which calls virCgroupRemove.

We already use the '-nodefaults' command line arg with QEMU to stop
it adding any default devices to guests. Unfortunately, QEMU will
load global config files from /etc/qemu that may also add default
devices. These aren't blocked by '-nodefaults', so we need to also
add the '-nodefconfig' arg to prevent that.
Unfortunately these global config files are also used to define
custom CPU models. So in blocking global hardware device addition
we also block definitions of new CPU models. Libvirt doesn't know
about these custom CPU models though, so it would never make use
of them anyway. Thus blocking them via -nodefconfig isn't a show
stopping problem. We would need to expand libvirt's own CPU model
XML database to support these instead.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add '-nodefconfig' if available
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add '-nodefconfig' to all data files which
have '-nodefaults' present
The current code pattern requires that callers of qemuMonitorClose
check for the return value == 0, and if so, set priv->mon = NULL
and release the reference held on the associated virDomainObjPtr
The change d84bb6d6a3 violated that
requirement, meaning that priv->mon never gets set to NULL, and
a reference count is leaked on virDomainObjPtr.
This design was a bad one, so remove the need to check the return
valueof qemuMonitorClose(). Instead allow registration of a
callback that's invoked just when the last reference on qemuMonitorPtr
is released.
Finally there was a potential reference leak in qemuConnectMonitor
in the failure path.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h: Add a destroy
callback invoked from qemuMonitorFree
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Use the destroy callback to release the
reference on virDomainObjPtr when the monitor is freed. Fix other
potential reference count leak in connecting to monitor
Before issuing monitor commands it is neccessary to check whether
the guest is still running. Most places use virDomainIsActive()
correctly, but a few relied on 'priv->mon != NULL'. In theory
these should be equivalent, but the release of the last reference
count on priv->mon can be delayed a small amount of time until
the event handler is finally deregistered. A further ref counting
bug also means that priv->mon might be never released. In such a
case, code could mistakenly issue a monitor command and wait for
a response that will never arrive, effectively leaving the QEMU
driver waiting on virCondWait() forever..
To protect against these possibilities, make sure all code uses
virDomainIsActive(), not 'priv->mon != NULL'
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Replace 'priv->mon != NULL' with
calls to 'priv->mon != NULL'()
If there is no driver for a URI we report
"no hypervisor driver available"
This is bad because not all virt drivers are hypervisors (ie container
based virt).
If there is no driver support for an API we report
"this function is not supported by the hypervisor"
This is bad for the same reason, and additionally because it is
also used for the network, interface & storage drivers.
* src/util/virterror.c: Improve error messages
Running virsh while having /var/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests file open
makes SELinux emit messages about preventing virsh from reading that
file. Since virsh doesn't really want to read anything, it's better to
run it with /dev/null on stdin to prevent those messages.
Following Daniel Berrange's multiple helpful suggestions for improving
this patch and introducing another driver interface, I now wrote the
below patch where the nwfilter driver registers the functions to
instantiate and teardown the nwfilters with a function in
conf/domain_nwfilter.c called virDomainConfNWFilterRegister. Previous
helper functions that were called from qemu_driver.c and qemu_conf.c
were move into conf/domain_nwfilter.h with slight renaming done for
consistency. Those functions now call the function expored by
domain_nwfilter.c, which in turn call the functions of the new driver
interface, if available.
- Fix documentation for virGetStorageVol: it has 'key' argument instead
of 'uuid'.
- Remove TODO comment from virReleaseStorageVol: we use volume key as an
identifier instead of UUID.
- Print human-readable UUID string in debug message in virReleaseSecret.
Per-connection hashes for domains, networks, storage pools and network
filter pools were indexed by names which was not the best choice. UUIDs
are better identifiers, so lets use them.
According to docs/formatdomain.html.in, "The boot element can be
repeated multiple times to setup a priority list of boot devices to try
in turn." The Relax-NG schema required / allowed exactly one entry.

If VM startup fails early enough (can't find a referenced USB device),
libvirtd will crash trying to clear the VNC port bit, since port = 0,
which overflows us out of the bitmap bounds.
Fix this by being more defensive in the bitmap operations, and only
clearing a previously set VNC port.

This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).
[...]
<rule action='accept' direction='in' statematch='false'>
<tcp srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.

This patch works around a recent extension of the netlink driver I had made use of when building the netlink messages. Unfortunately older kernels don't accept IFLA_IFNAME + name of interface as a replacement for the interface's index, so this patch now gets the interface index ifindex if it's not provided (ifindex <= 0).
Presently the vol-key command only supports being provided with
a volume path.
This patch adds support for providing it with a pool and volume
identifier pair as well.
virsh # vol-key --pool <pool-name-or-uuid> <vol-name-or-path>
Justin Clift reported a problem with adding virStoragePoolIsPersistent
to virsh's pool-info command, resulting in a strange problem. Here's
an example:
virsh # pool-create-as images_dir3 dir - - - - "/home/images2"
Pool images_dir3 created
virsh # pool-info images_dir3
Name: images_dir3
UUID: 90301885-94eb-4ca7-14c2-f30b25a29a36
State: running
Capacity: 395.20 GB
Allocation: 30.88 GB
Available: 364.33 GB
virsh # pool-destroy images_dir3
Pool images_dir3 destroyed
At this point the images_dir3 pool should be gone (because it was
transient) and we should be able to create a new pool with the same name:
virsh # pool-create-as images_dir3 dir - - - - "/home/images2"
Pool images_dir3 created
virsh # pool-info images_dir3
Name: images_dir3
UUID: 90301885-94eb-4ca7-14c2-f30b25a29a36
error: Storage pool not found
The new pool got the same UUID as the first one, but we didn't specify
one. libvirt should have picked a random UUID, but it didn't.
It turned out that virStoragePoolIsPersistent leaks a reference to the
storage pool object (actually remoteDispatchStoragePoolIsPersistent does).
As a result, pool-destroy doesn't remove the virStoragePool for the
"images_dir3" pool from the virConnectPtr's storagePools hash on libvirtd's
side. Then the second pool-create-as get's the stale virStoragePool object
associated with the "images_dir3" name. But this object has the old UUID.
This commit ensures that all get_nonnull_* and make_nonnull_* calls for
libvirt objects are matched properly with vir*Free calls. This fixes the
reference leaks and the reported problem.
All remoteDispatch*IsActive and remoteDispatch*IsPersistent functions were
affected. But also remoteDispatchDomainMigrateFinish2 was affected in the
success path. I wonder why that didn't surface earlier. Probably because
domainMigrateFinish2 is executed on the destination host and in the common
case this connection is opened especially for the migration and gets closed
after the migration is done. So there was no chance to run into a problem
because of the leaked reference.
