c7d3cf2e3b conf: Add a formatting macro for all the blkiotune values
Rather than copy-paste - use a macro

Unfortunately due to how the RNG schema was written keeping the 'value'
and 'value'_max next to each other in the XML causes a schema failure,
so the FORMAT has to write out singly rather than optimizing to write
out both values at once

85f05f66f4 qemu: Adjust how supportMaxOptions is used.
We're about to add more options, let's avoid having multiple if-then-else
which each try to set up the qemuMonitorJSONMakeCommand call with all the
parameters it knows about.

Instead, use the fact that when a NULL is found in the argument list that
processing of the remaining arguments stops and just have call.

a1417d5305 qemu: Convert from shorthand to longer throttling names
We're about to add 6 new options and it appears (from testing) one cannot
utilize both the shorthand (alias) and (much) longer names for the arguments.
So modify the command builder to use the longer name and of course alter the
test output .args to have the similarly innocuous long name.

Also utilize a macro to build that name makes it so much more visually
appealing and saves a few characters or potential cut-n-paste issues.

22afd44171 qemu: allow 32 slots on pcie-expander-bus, not just 1
When I added support for the pcie-expander-bus controller in commit
bc07251f, I incorrectly thought that it only had a single slot
available. Actually it has 32 slots, just like the root complex aka
pcie-root (the part that I *did* get correct is that unlike pcie-root
a pcie-expander-bus doesn't allow any integrated endpoint devices -
only pcie-root-ports and dmi-to-pci-controllers are allowed).

2c739866df qemu: attach: Close monitor socket on connection failure
If attaching to a qemu process fails after opening the monitor socket
libvirt does not clean up the monitor. As the monitor also holds a
reference to the domain object the qemu attach API basically leaks it.

QEMU also does not interact on a second monitor connection and thus a
further attempt to attach to it would lock up.

Prevent libvirt from leaking the monitor by explicitly closing it.

66bfc7cc61 remote: Increase bound limit for virDomainGetBlockIoTune
We are about to add 6 new values to fetch. This will put us over the
current limit of 16 (we're at 13 now).

Once there are more than 16 parameters, this will affect existing clients
that attempt to fetch blockiotune config values for the domain from the
remote host since the server side has no mechanism to determine whether
the capability for the emulator exists and thus would attempt to return
all known values from the persistentDef. If attempting to fetch the
blockiotune values from a running domain, the code will check the emulator
capabilities and set maxparams (in qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune) appropriately.

On the client side of the remote connection, it uses this constant in
xdr_remote_domain_get_block_io_tune_ret and virTypedParamsDeserialize
calls, so if a remote server returns more than 16 parameters, then the
client will fail with "Unable to decode message payload".

a46aa8852f docs: correct version requirements for <kvm><hidden='on'/></kvm>
When support was added for the kvm hidden='on' attribute in commit
d07116, the version requirement was listed as "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)". However, this was added when libvirt was at version 1.2.8 - it
is *QEMU* that must be at version 2.1.0 or later.

This went unnoticed for a very long time (over 2 years). Then a week
or two ago a new Windows convert in the #virt channel on OFTC was told
he needed to use this feature (to prevent nvidia drivers in a guest
from refusing to work due to being run in a virtual machine). There
was some problem with it being recognized and "someone" (it may have
been me, or may have been someone else, I don't remember) pointed out
that the documentation at

  http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html

says that it requires libvirt 2.1.0. The next several days were filled
with agony as a new convert to Linux first tried to upgrade a Linux
Mint host running their "LTS" version to something newer, then tried
to install a libvirt build built for Ubuntu onto this, and later back
to the old LTS Linux Mint. After this he tried building his own
libvirt from source (with all the expected problems), and finally
switched to Fedora. In the end it was hours and hours of everybody's
lives that they will never get back. To now learn that he didn't need
to do this (his original libvirt version was 1.3.3, so whatever his
problem was, it was elsewhere) makes the pain all that much worse.

To prevent this from happening again, this simple patch changes the
version requirement for the kvm hidden attribute from "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)" to "1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1.0)".

5fe66ea3bf sanlock: Properly init io_timeout
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292984

Hold on to your hats, because this is gonna be wild.

In bd3e16a3 I've tried to expose sanlock io_timeout. What I had
not realized (because there is like no documentation for sanlock
at all) was very unusual way their APIs work. Basically, what we
do currently is:

    sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout);

which adds a lockspace to sanlock daemon. One would expect that
io_timeout sets the io_timeout for it. Nah! That's where you are
completely off the tracks. It sets timeout for next lockspace you
will probably add later. Therefore:

   sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout = 10);
   /* adds new lockspace with default io_timeout */

   sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout = 20);
   /* adds new lockspace with io_timeout = 10 */

   sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout = 40);
   /* adds new lockspace with io_timeout = 20 */

And so on. You get the picture.
Fortunately, we don't allow setting io_timeout per domain or per
domain disk. So we just need to set the default used in the very
first step and hope for the best (as all the io_timeout-s used
later will have the same value).

2bca7cec0b m4: Check for sanlock_write_lockspace
Currently, we are checking for sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout
which is good for now. But in a subsequent patch we are going to
use sanlock_write_lockspace (which sets an initial value for io
timeout for sanlock). Now, there is no reason to check for both
functions in sanlock library as the sanlock_write_lockspace was
introduced in 2.7 release and the one we are currently checking
for in the 2.5 release. Therefore it is safe to assume presence
of sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout when sanlock_write_lockspace
is detected.

Moreover, the macro for conditional compilation is renamed to
HAVE_SANLOCK_IO_TIMEOUT (as it now encapsulates two functions).

ff3112f3dc qemu: Only use memory-backend-file with NUMA if needed
If this reminds you of a commit message from around a year ago, it's
41c2aa729f and yes, we're dealing with
"the same thing" again.  Or f309db1f4d and
it's similar.

There is a logic in place that if there is no real need for
memory-backend-file, qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() returns 0.  However
that wasn't the case with hugepage backing.  The reason for that was
that we abused the 'pagesize' variable for storing that information, but
we should rather have a separate one that specifies whether we really
need the new object for hugepage backing.  And that variable should be
set only if this particular NUMA cell needs special treatment WRT
hugepages.

bcfa2f427d vsh: Write out history on "quit" or "exit" in interactive mode
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1379895

Introduced by commit id '834c5720'.

During the code motion and creation of vsh.c, the function 'vshDeinit()'
in the (new) vsh.c was altered from whence it came in virsh.c such that
calling 'vshReadlineDeinit(ctl)' was conditional on "ctl->imode".

This causes a problem for the interactive running if the "quit" and "exit"
commands are used because 'cmdQuit' will clear ctl->imode, thus when the
interactive loop in main() of virsh.c exits because ctl->mode is clear and
virshDeinit is called which calls vshDeinit, the history file is now not
written. Conversely, if one had exited the interactive loop via pressing
<ctrl>D the file would be created because loop control is broken on EOF
and ctl->imode is not set to false.

This patch will remove the conditional call to vshReadlineDeinit and
restore the former behaviour.

719b663fad libxl: channels support
And allow libxl to handle channel element which creates a Xen
console visible to the guest as a low-bandwitdh communication
channel. If type is PTY we also fetch the tty after boot using
libxl_channel_getinfo to fetch the tty path. On socket case,
we autogenerate a path if not specified in the XML. Path autogenerated
is slightly different from qemu driver: qemu stores also on
"channels/target" but it creates then a directory per domain with
each channel target name. libxl doesn't appear to have a clear
definition of private files associated with each domain, so for
simplicity we do it slightly different. On qemu each autogenerated
channel goes like:

channels/target/<domain-name>/<target name>

Whereas for libxl:

channels/target/<domain-name>-<target name>

Should note that if path is not specified it won't persist,
existing only on live XML, unless user had initially specified it.
Since support for libxl channels only came on Xen >= 4.5 we therefore
need to conditionally compile it with LIBXL_HAVE_DEVICE_CHANNEL.

After this patch and having a qemu guest agent:
 $ cat domain.xml | grep -a1 channel | head -n 5 | tail -n 4
 <channel type='unix'>
   <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/channel'/>

3193a59447 qemuDomainUpdateDeviceConfig: Allow full disk update
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1368417

So far, when it comes to 'virsh update-device --config' of disks
we are limiting ourselves for just the disk source update and
just for CDROMs and floppies. This makes no sense. Especially if
you look around and see that we already allow full update to
graphics and net devices. So let's just take whatever XML user
wants to have there and replace our internal definition with it.

7b3cf84bbb libxl: find virDomainObj in libxlDomainShutdownThread
libxl events are delivered to libvirt via the libxlDomainEventHandler
callback registered with libxl. Documenation in
$xensrc/tools/libxl/libxl_event.h states that the callback "may occur
on any thread in which the application calls libxl". This can result
in deadlock since many of the libvirt callees of libxl hold a lock on
the virDomainObj they are working on. When the callback is invoked, it
attempts to find a virDomainObj corresponding to the domain ID provided
by libxl. Searching the domain obj list results in locking each obj
before checking if it is active, and its ID equals the requested ID.
Deadlock is possible when attempting to lock an obj that is already
locked further up the call stack. Indeed, Max Ustermann reported an
instance of this deadlock

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-November/msg00130.html

Guido Rossmueller also recently stumbled across it

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-September/msg00287.html

Fix the deadlock by moving the lookup of virDomainObj to the
libxlDomainShutdownThread. After this patch, libxl events are
enqueued on the libvirt side and processed by dedicated thread,
avoiding the described deadlock.
