4bfe396e14 Blank out the 'listenAddr' parameter if empty string
Some bogus apps are generating a VNC/SPICE/RFB listen attribute
with no content. This then causes a failure with the graphics
migration cookie parsing. Blank out the 'listenAddr' parameter
after parsing domain XML if it is the empty string, so the host
default takes over

5252a06d65 Add support for 'passthru' mode for direct network interfaces
starting with kernel 2.6.38 macvtap supports a 'passthru' mode for
attaching virtual functions of a SRIOV capable network card directly to a VM.
This patch adds the capability to configure such a device.

b046c55d40 Implement domain state reason
Only in drivers which use virDomainObj, drivers that query hypervisor
for domain status need to be updated separately in case their hypervisor
supports this functionality.

The reason is also saved into domain state XML so if a domain is not
running (i.e., no state XML exists) the reason will be lost by libvirtd
restart. I think this is an acceptable limitation.

34639a3f6b domain: Require <init> for container guests
Use capabilities to allow a driver to register a default <init> if none
is specified in the XML. Openvz was already open-coding this to be /sbin/init

LXC currently falls over if no init is specified, so an explicit error is
an improvement IMO.

(Side note: I don't think we can set a default value for LXC. If we use
/sbin/init but the user doesn't specify a separate root FS for their guest,
the container will rerun the host's init which can be traumatic :). For
virt-install I'm thinking of defaulting to /sbin/init if a root FS has
been specified, otherwise require the user to manually specify <init>)

If we plow on after udev_device_get_syspath fails, we will hit a NULL

68ea80cfdd maint: rename virBufferVSprintf to virBufferAsprintf
We already have virAsprintf, so picking a similar name helps for
seeing a similar purpose.  Furthermore, the prefix V before printf
generally implies 'va_list', even though this variant was '...', and
the old name got in the way of adding a new va_list version.

global rename performed with:

$ git grep -l virBufferVSprintf \
  | xargs -L1 sed -i 's/virBufferVSprintf/virBufferAsprintf/g'

0d166c6b7c build: detect potentential uninitialized variables
Even with -Wuninitialized (which is part of autobuild.sh
--enable-compile-warnings=error), gcc does NOT catch this
use of an uninitialized variable:

{
  if (cond)
    goto error;
  int a = 1;
error:
  printf("%d", a);
}

which prints 0 (supposing the stack started life wiped) if
cond was true.  Clang will catch it, but we don't use clang
as often.  Using gcc -Wjump-misses-init catches it, but also
gives false positives:

{
  if (cond)
    goto error;
  int a = 1;
  return a;
error:
  return 0;
}

Here, a was never used in the scope of the error block, so
declaring it after goto is technically fine (and clang agrees).
However, given that our HACKING already documents a preference
to C89 decl-before-statement, the false positive warning is
enough of a prod to comply with HACKING.

[Personally, I'd _really_ rather use C99 decl-after-statement
to minimize scope, but until gcc can efficiently and reliably
catch scoping and uninitialized usage bugs, I'll settle with
the compromise of enforcing a coding standard that happens to
reject false positives if it can also detect real bugs.]

82dfc6f38e qemu: Support vram for video of qxl type
For qemu names the primary vga as "qxl-vga":

  1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:

    -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE,...

  2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device, (use the default
     set by global):

    -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,...

For qemu names all qxl devices as "qxl":

  1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:

    -vga qxl -global qxl.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE ...

  2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device:

    -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,...

"-global" is the only way to define vram_size for the primary qxl
device, regardless of how qemu names it, (It's not good a good
way, as original idea of "-global" is to set a global default for
a driver property, but to specify vram for first qxl device, we
have to use it).

For other qxl devices, as they are represented by "-device", could
specify it directly and seperately for each, and it overrides the
default set by "-global" if specified.

v1 - v2:
  * modify "virDomainVideoDefaultRAM" so that it returns 16M as the
    default vram_size for qxl device.

  * vram_size * 1024 (qemu accepts bytes for vram_size).

  * apply default vram_size for qxl device for which vram_size is
    not specified.

  * modify "graphics-spice" tests (more sensiable vram_size)

  * Add an argument of virDomainDefPtr type for qemuBuildVideoDevStr,
    to use virDomainVideoDefaultRAM in qemuBuildVideoDevStr).

v2 - v3:
  * Modify default video memory size for qxl device from 16M to 24M

  * Update codes to be consistent with changes on qemu_capabilities.*

9905c69e4f remove no longer needed calls to virReportOOMError
Now that the virHash handling functions call virReportOOMError by
themselves when needed, users of the virHash API no longer need to
do it by themselves. Since users of the virHash API were not
consistently calling virReportOOMError after memory failures from

5754dbd56d Give each virtual network bridge its own fixed MAC address
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609463

The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".

The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).

Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.

I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.

Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

e9bd5c0e24 Add txmode attribute to interface XML for virtio backend
This is in response to:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662

Explanation

qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.

'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)

'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)

The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:

    bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
    causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
    tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
    packets.

Solution

This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:

    <interface ...>
      ...
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver txmode='iothread'/>
      ...
    </interface>

I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)

Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of

    qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?

If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.

b670a41206 Restructure domain struct interface "driver" data for easier expansion
When the <driver> element (and its "name" attribute) was added to the
domain XML's interface element, a "backend" enum was simply added to
the toplevel of the virDomainNetDef struct.

Ignoring the naming inconsistency ("name" vs. "backend"), this is fine
when there's only a single item contained in the driver element of the
XML, but doesn't scale well as we add more attributes that apply to
the backend of the virtio-net driver, or add attributes applicable to
other drivers.

This patch changes virDomainNetDef in two ways:

1) Rename the item in the struct from "backend" to "name", so that
   it's the same in the XML and in the struct, hopefully avoiding
   confusion for someone unfamiliar with the function of the
   attribute.

2) Create a "driver" union within virDomainNetDef, and a "virtio"
   struct in that struct, which contains the "name" enum value.

3) Move around the virDomainNetParse and virDomainNetFormat functions
   to allow for simple plugin of new attributes without disturbing
   existing code. (you'll note that this results in a seemingly
   redundant if() in the format function, but that will no longer be
   the case as soon as a 2nd attribute is added).

In the future, new attributes for the virtio driver backend can be
added to the "virtio" struct, and any other network device backend that
needs an attribute will have its own struct added to the "driver"
union.
