f4a212d7f9 docs: website: more header spacing tweaks
- remove top padding for h1. this means page titles sit flush with the top
  of the side bar (like 'The virtualization API' on the front page)
- up the top padding for the remaining sections. makes it visually easier
  to tell adjacent header sections apart, especially in dense wiki pages
- use two different spacing levels for h2-h4 and h5-h6,
  gives pages some more visual flexibility
- use a slightly lower bottom padding... this makes top padding stick out
  more which makes it visually easier to differentiate between adjacent
  header sections

7068b56c85 conf: qemu: Add support for more HyperV Enlightenment features
This patch adds support for "vpindex", "runtime", "synic",
"stimer", and "vendor_id" features available in qemu 2.5+.

- When Hyper-V "vpindex" is on, guest can use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX
to get virtual processor ID.

- Hyper-V "runtime" enlightement feature allows to use MSR
HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME to get the time the virtual processor consumes
running guest code, as well as the time the hypervisor spends running
code on behalf of that guest.

- Hyper-V "synic" stands for Synthetic Interrupt Controller, which is
lapic extension controlled via MSRs.

- Hyper-V "stimer" switches on Hyper-V SynIC timers MSR's support.
Guest can setup and use fired by host events (SynIC interrupt and
appropriate timer expiration message) as guest clock events

- Hyper-V "reset" allows guest to reset VM.

- Hyper-V "vendor_id" exposes hypervisor vendor id to guest.

9d243e0895 conf: add 'state' attribute to <hap> feature
Most hypervisors use Hardware Assisted Paging by default and don't
require specifying the feature in domain conf. But some hypervisors
support disabling HAP on a per-domain basis. To enable HAP by default
yet provide a knob to disable it, extend the <hap> feature with a
'state=on|off' attribute, similar to <pvspinlock> and <vmport> features.

In the absence of <hap>, the hypervisor default (on) is used. <hap>
without the state attribute would be the same as <hap state='on'/> for
backwards compatibility. And of course <hap state='off'/> disables hap.

1b13edb162 docs: generic.css: Indentation and spacing tweaks
- Add line-height:150% spacing for all text. This makes text lines far
  less cramped, and seems closer visually to what wikipedia uses.

- Remove bottom and top margin from lists: entries seemed needlessly

  up the vertical flow of a big page of text. Doesn't look great on the

b4a5fd95f7 qemu: introduce vram64 attribute for QXL video device
This attribute is used to extend secondary PCI bar and expose it to the
guest as 64bit memory.  It works like this: attribute vram is there to
set size of secondary PCI bar and guest sees it as 32bit memory,
attribute vram64 can extend this secondary PCI bar.  If both attributes
are used, guest sees two memory bars, both address the same memory, with
the difference that the 32bit bar can address only the first part of the
whole memory.

For some reason, make has decided to run the target

instead of the target

  internals/%.html.tmp: internals/%.html.in subsite.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in

6343018fac rbd: Do not append Ceph monitor port number 6789 if not provided
If no port number was provided for a storage pool libvirt defaults to
port 6789; however, librbd/librados already default to 6789 when no port
number is provided.

In the future Ceph will switch to a new port for the Ceph monitors since
port 6789 is already assigned to a different application by IANA.

Port 6789 is assigned to SMC-HTTPS and Ceph now has port 3300 assigned as
the 'Ceph monitor' port.

In this case it is the best solution to not hardcode any port number into
libvirt and let librados handle the connection.

Only if a user specifies a different port number we pass it down to librados,
otherwise we leave it blank.

79e7872530 docs: update to properly reflect meaning of fields in log filter

string given in the VIR_LOG_INIT() macro invocation at the top of each

"util.json", while the file name is "util/virjson.c"). This patch

5c668a78d8 qemu: add udp interface support
Adds a new interface type using UDP sockets, this seems only applicable
to QEMU but have edited tree-wide to support the new interface type.

The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local
address), this then maps into the following xml and qemu call.

<interface type='udp'>
  <mac address='52:54:00:5c:67:56'/>
  <source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>
    <local address='127.0.0.1' port='22222'/>
  </source>
  <model type='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>

QEMU call:
	-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222

Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.

c27553b6e2 lxc: Inherit namespace feature
This patch adds feature for lxc containers to inherit namespaces.
This is very similar to what lxc-tools or docker provides.  Look
for "man lxc-start" and you will find that you can pass command
args as [ --share-[net|ipc|uts] name|pid ]. Or check out docker
networking option in which you can give --net=container:NAME_or_ID
as an option for sharing +namespace.

>From this patch you can add extra libvirt option to share
namespace in following way.

 <lxc:namespace>
   <lxc:sharenet type='netns' value='red'/>
   <lxc:shareipc type='pid' value='12345'/>
   <lxc:shareuts type='name' value='container1'/>
 </lxc:namespace>

The netns option is specific to sharenet. It can be used to
inherit from existing network namespace.

This controller can be connected only to a port on a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. It provides a single hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device, as well as any device requiring a
pcie-*-port (the only current example of such a device is the

This controller can be connected only to a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-downstream-port (which will be added in a later patch),
which is the reason for the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_PORT. A pcie-switch-upstream-port provides
32 ports (slot=0 to slot=31) on the downstream side, which can only
have pci controllers of model "pcie-switch-downstream-port" plugged
into them, which is the reason for the other new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_SWITCH.

dce3b8beb3 conf: new pci controller model "pcie-root-port"
This controller can be connected (at domain startup time only - not
hotpluggable) only to a port on the pcie root complex ("pcie-root" in
libvirt config), hence the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_ROOT. It provides a hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device.

New attributes must be added to the controller <target> subelement for
this - chassis and port are guest-visible option values that will be
set by libvirt with values derived from the controller's index and pci
address information.

8dc88aeed6 conf: add new <target> subelement with chassisNr attribute to <controller>
There are some configuration options to some types of pci controllers
that are currently automatically derived from other parts of the
controller's configuration. For example, in qemu a pci-bridge
controller has an option that is called "chassis_nr"; up until now
libvirt has always set chassis_nr to the index of the pci-bridge. So
this:

  <controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'/>

will always result in:

  -device pci-bridge,chassis_nr=2,...

on the qemu commandline. In the future we may decide there is a better
way to derive that option, but even in that case we will need for
existing domains to retain the same chassis_nr they were using in the
past - that is something that is visible to the guest so it is part of
the guest ABI and changing it would lead to problems for migrating
guests (or just guests with very picky OSes).

The <target> subelement has been added as a place to put the new
"chassisNr" attribute that will be filled in by libvirt when it
auto-generates the chassisNr; it will be saved in the config, then
reused any time the domain is started:

  <controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'>
    <model type='pci-bridge'/>
    <target chassisNr='2'/>
  </controller>

The one oddity of all this is that if the controller configuration
is changed (for example to change the index or the pci address
where the controller is plugged in), the items in <target> will
*not* be re-generated, which might lead to conflict. I can't
really see any way around this, but fortunately if there is a
material conflict qemu will let us know and we will pass that on
to the user.

bf20251048 conf: add new <model> subelement with name attribute to <controller>
This new subelement is used in PCI controllers: the toplevel
*attribute* "model" of a controller denotes what kind of PCI
controller is being described, e.g. a "dmi-to-pci-bridge",
"pci-bridge", or "pci-root". But in the future there will be different
implementations of some of those types of PCI controllers, which
behave similarly from libvirt's point of view (and so should have the
same model), but use a different device in qemu (and present
themselves as a different piece of hardware in the guest). In an ideal
world we (i.e. "I") would have thought of that back when the pci
controllers were added, and used some sort of type/class/model
notation (where class was used in the way we are now using model, and
model was used for the actual manufacturer's model number of a
particular family of PCI controller), but that opportunity is long
past, so as an alternative, this patch allows selecting a particular
implementation of a pci controller with the "name" attribute of the
<model> subelement, e.g.:

  <controller type='pci' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge' index='1'>
    <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/>
  </controller>

In this case, "dmi-to-pci-bridge" is the kind of controller (one that
has a single PCIe port upstream, and 32 standard PCI ports downstream,
which are not hotpluggable), and the qemu device to be used to
implement this kind of controller is named "i82801b11-bridge".

Implementing the above now will allow us in the future to add a new
kind of dmi-to-pci-bridge that doesn't use qemu's i82801b11-bridge
device, but instead uses something else (which doesn't yet exist, but
qemu people have been discussing it), all without breaking existing
configs.

(note that for the existing "pci-bridge" type of PCI controller, both
the model attribute and <model> name are 'pci-bridge'. This is just a
coincidence, since it turns out that in this case the device name in
qemu really is a generic 'pci-bridge' rather than being the name of
some real-world chip)

0d8b24f6b6 conf: Change when virDomainHostdevAssignAddress is called
Rather than calling virDomainHostdevAssignAddress during the parsing
of the XML, move the setting of a default hostdev address to domain/
device post processing.

Since the parse code no longer generates an address, we can remove
the virDomainDefMaybeAddHostdevSCSIcontroller since the call to
virDomainHostdevAssignAddress will attempt to add the controllers
that were not already defined in the XML.

This patch will also enforce that the address type is type 'drive'
when a SCSI subsystem <hostdev> element is provided with an <address>.

1e15be1bbc qemu: always permit PCI devices to be manually assigned to a PCIe bus
When support for the pcie-root and dmi-to-pci-bridge buses on a Q35
machinetype was added, I was concerned that even though qemu at the
time allowed plugging a PCI device into a PCIe port, that it might not
be supported in the future. To prevent painful backtracking in the
possible future where this happened, I disallowed such connections
except in a few specific cases requested by qemu developers (indicated
in the code with the flag VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG).

Now that a couple years have passed, there is a clear message from
qemu that there is no danger in allowing PCI devices to be plugged
into PCIe ports. This patch eliminates
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG and changes the code to always
allow PCI->PCIe or PCIe->PCI connection *when the PCI address is
specified in the config. (For newly added devices that haven't yet
been given a PCI address, the auto-placement still prefers using the
correct type of bus).

c733e97323 docs: Fix XML schema handling of LUN address in hostdev tag
Defining a domain with a SCSI disk attached via a hostdev
tag and a source address unit value longer than two digits
causes an error when editing the domain with virsh edit,
even if no changes are made to the domain definition.
The error suggests invalid XML, somewhere:

  # virsh edit lmb_guest
  error: XML document failed to validate against schema:
  Unable to validate doc against /usr/local/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng
  Extra element devices in interleave
  Element domain failed to validate content

The virt-xml-validate tool fails with a similar error:

  # virt-xml-validate lmb_guest.xml
  Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
  lmb_guest.xml:17: element devices: Relax-NG validity error :
  Element domain failed to validate content
  lmb_guest.xml fails to validate

The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long.  Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits.  Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

  # lsscsi -xx
  [0:0:19:0x4022401100000000]  disk    IBM      2107900          3.44 /dev/sda

          <address bus='0' target='19' unit='1074872354'/>
        </source>
      </hostdev>
  ...trimmed...

Since the reference unit and target fields are used in
several places in the XML schema, create a separate one
specific for SCSI Logical Units that will permit the
greater length.  This permits both the validation utility
and the virsh edit command to succeed when a hostdev
tag is included.

29230951f1 storage: Generate correct parameters for CIFS
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186969

When generating the path to the dir for a CIFS/Samba driver, the code
would generate a source path for the mount using "%s:%s" while the
mount.cifs expects to see "//%s/%s". So check for the cifsfs and
format the source path appropriately.

Additionally, since there is no means to authenticate, the mount
needs a "-o guest" on the command line in order to anonymously mount
the Samba directory.

The problem with this approach is that it's impossible for other code

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171984
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188463

Remove the check for the source host name for iSCSI source XML processing
declaring duplicate sources when the source device path and if present the
initiator of a proposed storage pool matches an existing storage pool.

The backend iSCSI storage driver uses 'iscsiadm --mode session' to query
available iscsid target sessions. The output displayed is the IP address
and the IQN (target path) of known targets. The displayed IP address
is a resolved address based on the session --login. Additionally, iscsid
keeps track of the various ways to define the host name (IPv4 Address,
IPv6 Address, /etc/hosts, etc.) for that IQN (see output of an 'iscsiadm
--mode node'). If an incoming IQN matches and the host name provided by
libvirt is resolved to the existing IQN, then iscsid will "reuse" the
session. Although libvirt could do the same name resolution, if there
is a difference, iscsid could still declare two seemingly different sources
to be the same and not create a new session which means libvirt now has
two storage pools looking at the same source. Thus to avoid any strange
host name resolution issues, just rely on iscsid for that and do not
allow multiple pools on the same host to use the same device path (IQN).

208abbcbd7 docs: add domain vmport feature
A new feature that can be turned on or off.

The QEMU machine vmport option allows to set the VMWare IO port
emulation. This emulation is useful for absolute pointer input when the
guest has vmware input drivers, and is enabled by default for kvm.

However it is unnecessary for Spice-enabled VM, since the agent already
handles absolute pointer and multi-monitors. Furthermore, it prevents
Spice from switching to relative input since the regular ps/2 pointer
driver is replaced by the vmware driver. It is thus advised to disable
vmport when using a Spice VM. This will permit the Spice client to
switch from absolute to relative pointer, as it may be required for
certain games or applications.

Adding a new XML element 'iothreadids' in order to allow defining

IOThread ID's starting at 1 and incrementing to iothreads count.

This will allow future patches to be able to add new IOThreads by
a specific iothread_id and of course delete any exisiting IOThread.

Each iothreadids element will have 'n' <iothread> children elements
which will have attribute "id".  The "id" will allow for definition
of any "valid" (eg > 0) iothread_id value.

On input, if any <iothreadids> <iothread>'s are provided, they will
be marked so that we only print out what we read in.

On input, if no <iothreadids> are provided, the PostParse code will
self generate a list of ID's starting at 1 and going to the number
of iothreads defined for the domain (just like the current algorithm
numbering scheme).  A future patch will rework the existing algorithm
to make use of the iothreadids list.

On output, only print out the <iothreadids> if they were read in.

We can't use 'unsignedShort', since we need -1 to be a valid
port number too.

This change is to use 'int' and set an explicit max boundary
instead of relying on the data types' built-in max.

One of the existing tests is changed to use a high port number
to validate the schema.

cea1b86fa7 rng: Forbid to validate mismatched <disk> 'device' and 'type' attributes
According to docs, using 'lun' as a value for device attribute is only valid
with disk types 'block' and 'network'. However current RNG schema also allows
a combination type='file' device='lun' which results in a successfull
xml validation, but fails at qemuBuildCommandLine.
Besides fixing the RNG schema, this patch also adds a qemuxml2argvtest
for this case.

3e4230d270 conf: Add interface to parse and format memory device information
This patch adds code that parses and formats configuration for memory
devices.

A simple configuration would be:
<memory model='dimm'>
  <target>
    <size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
    <node>0</node>
  </target>
</memory>

A complete configuration of a memory device:
<memory model='dimm'>
  <source>
    <pagesize unit='KiB'>4096</pagesize>
    <nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
  </source>
  <target>
    <size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
    <node>1</node>
  </target>
</memory>

This patch preemptively forbids use of the <memory> device in individual

supported.

Also, several people have complained that libvirt reports

create the file with qemu-img create -o backing_fmt=qcow2.

Midonet is an opensource virtual networking that over lays the IP
network between hypervisors. Currently, such networks can be made
with the openvswitch virtualport type.

This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve
as basis for the follow up patches that will add support to libvirt
for using Midonet virtual ports for its interfaces. The schema
definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the
patch too.

ad69e8be4a conf: Use correct type for balloon stats period
We're parsing memballoon status period as unsigned int, but when we're
trying to set it, both we and qemu use signed int.  That means large
values will get wrapped around to negative one resulting in error.
Basically the same problem as commit e3a7b874 was dealing with when
updating live domain.

QEMU changed the accepted value to int64 in commit 1f9296b5, but even
values as INT_MAX don't make sense since the value passed means seconds.
Hence adding capability flag for this change isn't worth it.

4bca6192f2 conf: Make specifying <memory> optional
Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.

To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).

Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was
not interpreted correctly and caused failures. (Arguments for numad when
using automatic placement, size of the balloon). This fixes problems
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161461

Test case changes are added to verify that the schema change and code
behave correctly.

cf521fc8ba memtune: change the way how we store unlimited value
There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user.  Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED.  Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.

Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong.  The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.
