The security driver was mistakenly initialized before the QEMU
config file was loaded. This prevents it being turned off again.
The capabilities XML was also getting the wrong security driver
name, due to the stacked driver arrangement.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix initialization order and capabilities
model name
* src/util/util.h (virAsprintf): Remove ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK, since
it is perfectly fine to ignore the return value, now that the pointer
is guaranteed to be set to NULL upon failure.
* src/util/storage_file.c (absolutePathFromBaseFile): Remove now-
unnecessary use of ignore_value.
* src/util/storage_file.c (absolutePathFromBaseFile): While this use
of virAsprintf is slightly cleaner than using stpncpy(stpcpy(...,
it does impose an artificial limitation on the length of the base_file
name. Rather than asserting that it does not exceed INT_MAX, return
NULL when it does.
When creating preallocated large raw files opening them with O_DSYNC
prevents long delays in reading because cache pages can be immediately
reused without writing them on a disk first.
Change all virsh commands that invoke virDomain{Attach,Detach}Device()
to use virDomain{Attach,Detach}DeviceFlags() instead.
Add a "--persistent" flag to these virsh commands, allowing user to
specify that the domain persisted config be modified as well.
V2: Only invoke virDomain{Attach,Detach}DeviceFlags() if
"--persistent" flag is specified. Otherwise invoke
virDomain{Attach,Detach}Device() to retain current behavior.
virDomain{Attach,Detach}Device is now only permitted on active
domains. Explicitly state this restriction in the API
documentation.
V2: Only change doc, dropping the hunk that forced the restriction
in libvirt frontend.
When configured with --enable-gcc-warnings, it didn't even compile.
* src/util/storage_file.c: Include <assert.h>.
(absolutePathFromBaseFile): Assert that converting size_t to int is valid.
Reverse length/string args to match "%.*s".
Explicitly ignore the return value of virAsprintf.
* src/util/storage_file.c: Include "dirname.h".
(absolutePathFromBaseFile): Rewrite not to leak, and to require
fewer allocations.
* bootstrap (modules): Add dirname-lgpl.
* .gnulib: Update submodule to the latest.
When restoring from a saved guest image, the XML would already
contain the PCI slot ID of the IDE controller & video card.
The attempt to explicitly reserve this upfront would thus fail
everytime.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Reserve IDE controller / video card
slot at time of need, rather than upfront
Similar fix as previous one but for fork() usage when creating
a file or directory
* src/util/util.c: virLogLock() and virLogUnlock() around fork()
in virFileCreate() and virDirCreateSimple()
Ad pointed out by Dan Berrange:
So if some thread in libvirtd is currently executing a logging call,
while another thread calls virExec(), that other thread no longer
exists in the child, but its lock is never released. So when the
child then does virLogReset() it deadlocks.
The only way I see to address this, is for the parent process to call
virLogLock(), immediately before fork(), and then virLogUnlock()
afterwards in both parent & child. This will ensure that no other
thread
can be holding the lock across fork().
* src/util/logging.[ch] src/libvirt_private.syms: export virLogLock() and
virLogUnlock()
* src/util/util.c: lock just before forking and unlock just after - in
both parent and child.
The original udev node device backend neglected to lock the driverState
struct containing the device list when adding and removing devices
* src/node_device/node_device_udev.c: add necessary locks in
udevRemoveOneDevice() and udevAddOneDevice()
