When the libvirt daemon is restarted it tries to reconnect to running
qemu domains. Since commit d38897a5d4 the
re-connection code runs in separate threads. In the original
implementation the maximum of domain ID's (that is used as an
initializer for numbering guests created next) while libvirt was
reconnecting to the guest.
With the threaded implementation this opens a possibility for race
conditions with the thread that is autostarting guests. When there's a
guest running with id 1 and the daemon is restarted. The autostart code
is reached first and spawns the first guest that should be autostarted
as id 1. This results into the following unwanted situation:
# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
1 guest1 running
1 guest2 running
This patch extracts the detection code before the re-connection threads
are started so that the maximum id of the guests being reconnected to is
known.
The only semantic change created by this is if the guest with greatest ID
quits before we are able to reconnect it's ID is used anyway as the
greatest one as without this patch the greatest ID of a process we could
successfuly reconnect to would be used.
The new external system checkpoints will require an async job while the
snapshot is taken. This patch adds QEMU_ASYNC_JOB_SNAPSHOT to track this
job type.

When the cpu placement model is "auto", it sets the affinity for
domain process with the advisory nodeset from numad, however,
creating cgroup for the domain process (called emulator thread
in some contexts) later overrides that with pinning it to all
available pCPUs.
How to reproduce:
* Configure the domain with "auto" placement for <vcpu>, e.g.
<vcpu placement='auto'>4</vcpu>
* % virsh start dom
* % cat /proc/$dompid/status
Though the emulator cgroup cause conflicts, but we can't simply
prohibit creating it, as other tunables are still useful, such
as "emulator_period", which is used by API
virDomainSetSchedulerParameter. So this patch doesn't prohibit
creating the emulator cgroup, but inherit the nodeset from numad,
and reset the affinity for domain process.

Technically, we should not be re-probing any file that qemu might
be currently writing to. As such, we should cache the backing
file chain prior to starting qemu. This patch adds the cache,
but does not use it until the next patch.
Ultimately, we want to also store the chain in domain XML, so that
it is remembered across libvirtd restarts, and so that the only
kosher way to modify the backing chain of an offline domain will be
through libvirt API calls, but we aren't there yet. So for now, we
merely invalidate the cache any time we do a live operation that
alters the chain (block-pull, block-commit, external disk snapshot),
as well as tear down the cache when the domain is not running.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainDiskDef): New field.

According to our recent changes (clarifications), we should be pinning
qemu's emulator processes using the <vcpu> 'cpuset' attribute in case
there is no <emulatorpin> specified. This however doesn't work
entirely as expected and this patch should resolve all the remaining
issues.
This patch adds support for SUSPEND_DISK event; both lifecycle and
separated. The support is added for QEMU, machines are changed to
PMSUSPENDED, but as QEMU sends SHUTDOWN afterwards, the state changes
to shut-off. This and much more needs to be done in order for libvirt
to work with transient devices, wake-ups etc. This patch is not
aiming for that functionality.
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.
The qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() API is used to initialize the QMP
protocol capabilities. It has since been abused to initialize some
libvirt internal capabilities based on command/event existance too.

At frame #10 we are holding the domain lock, we call into
qemuProcessStop() to cleanup QEMU, which triggers the monitor
to close, which invokes qemuProcessHandleMonitorDestroy() which
tries to obtain the domain lock again. This is a non-recursive
lock, hence hang.
Since qemuMonitorPtr is a virObject, the unref call in
qemuProcessHandleMonitorDestroy no longer needs mutex
protection. The assignment of priv->mon = NULL, can be
instead done by the caller of qemuMonitorClose(), thus
removing all need for locking.

Currently, we mark domain PAUSED (but not emit an event)
just before we issue 'stop' on monitor; This command can
take ages to finish, esp. when domain's doing a lot of
IO - users can enforce qemu to open files with O_DIRECT
which doesn't return from write() until data reaches the
block device. Having said that, we report PAUSED even if
domain is not paused yet.
On agent EOF the qemuProcessHandleAgentEOF() callback is called
which locks virDomainObjPtr. Then qemuAgentClose() is called
(with domain object locked) which eventually calls qemuAgentDispose()
and qemuProcessHandleAgentDestroy(). This tries to lock the
domain object again. Hence the deadlock.
The current qemu capabilities are stored in a virBitmapPtr
object, whose type is exposed to callers. We want to store
more data besides just the flags, so we need to move to a
struct type. This object will also need to be reference
counted, since we'll be maintaining a cache of data per
binary. This change introduces a 'qemuCapsPtr' virObject
class. Most of the change is just renaming types and
variables in all the callers

After the cleanup of remote display port allocation, I noticed some
messages that didn't make a lot of sense the way they were written. So
I rephrased them.
The defines QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MIN and QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MAX were used to
find free port when starting domains. As this was hard-coded to the
same ports as default VNC servers, there were races with these other
programs. This patch includes the possibility to change the default
starting port as well as the maximum port (mostly for completeness) in
qemu config file.
Support for two new config options in qemu.conf is added:
- remote_port_min (defaults to QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MIN and
must be >= than this value)
- remote_port_max (defaults to QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MAX and
must be <= than this value)
Port allocations for SPICE and VNC behave almost the same (with
default ports), but there is some mess in the code. This patch clears
these inconsistencies and makes sure the same behavior will be used
when ports for remote displays are changed.
Changes:
- hard-coded number 5900 removed (handled elsewhere like with VNC)
- reservedVNCPorts renamed to reservedRemotePorts (it's not just for
VNC anymore)
- QEMU_VNC_PORT_{MIN,MAX} renamed to QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_{MIN,MAX}
- port allocation unified for VNC and SPICE

If no 'listen' attribute or <listen> element is set in the

With latest changes to qemu-ga success on some commands is not reported
anymore, e.g. guest-shutdown or guest-suspend-*. However, errors are
still being reported. Therefore, we need to find different source of
indication if operation was successful. Events.
A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.
If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.
Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.
This all also applies to the LXC driver
* docs/hooks.html.in: Document new operations
* src/util/hooks.c, src/util/hooks.c: Add 'started', 'reconnect'

Currently, if qemuProcessStart fail at some point, e.g. because
domain being started wants a PCI/USB device already assigned to
a different domain, we jump to cleanup label where qemuProcessStop
is performed. This unconditionally calls virSecurityManagerRestoreAllLabel
which is wrong because the other domain is still using those devices.
However, once we successfully label all devices/paths in
qemuProcessStart() from that point on, we have to perform a rollback
on failure - that is - we have to virSecurityManagerRestoreAllLabel.
When libvirtd is started and there is an unusable/not-connectable
leftover from earlier started machine, it's more reasonable to say
that the machine "crashed" if we know it was started with
"-no-shutdown".
This patch fixes that and also changes the other result (when machine
was started without "-no-shutdown") to "unknown", because the previous
"failed" reason means (according to include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in:174),
that the machine failed to start.
Like for 'static' placement, when the memory policy mode is
'strict', set the memory policy by writing the advisory nodeset
returned from numad to cgroup file cpuset.mems,
On some of the NUMA platforms, the CPU index in each NUMA node
grows non-consecutive. While on other platforms, it can be inconsecutive,
E.g.
% numactl --hardware
available: 4 nodes (0-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28
node 0 size: 131058 MB
node 0 free: 86531 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 5 9 13 17 21 25 29
node 1 size: 131072 MB
node 1 free: 127070 MB
node 2 cpus: 2 6 10 14 18 22 26 30
node 2 size: 131072 MB
node 2 free: 127758 MB
node 3 cpus: 3 7 11 15 19 23 27 31
node 3 size: 131072 MB
node 3 free: 127226 MB
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 20 20
1: 20 10 20 20
2: 20 20 10 20
3: 20 20 20 10
This patch is to fix the problem by using the CPU index in
caps->host.numaCell[i]->cpus[i] to set the bitmask instead of
assuming the CPU index of the NUMA nodes are always sequential.
This patch lifts the limit of calling thread detection code only on KVM
guests. With upstream qemu the thread mappings are reported also on
non-KVM machines.
QEMU adopted the thread_id information from the kvm branch.
To remain compatible with older upstream versions of qemu the check is
attempted but the failure to detect threads (or even run the monitor
command - on older versions without SMP support) is treated non-fatal
and the code reports one vCPU with pid of the hypervisor (in same
fashion this was done on non-KVM guests).
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.
This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:
<numatune>
<memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.
If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".
The following XML can now fully drive numad:
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
<numatune>.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
</numatune>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
</numatume>
A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.
When we added the default USB controller into domain XML, we efficiently
broke migration to older versions of libvirt that didn't support USB
controllers at all (0.9.4 and earlier) even for domains that don't use
anything that the older libvirt can't provide. We still want to present
the default USB controller in any XML seen by a user/app but we can
safely remove it from the domain XML used during migration. If we are
migrating to a new enough libvirt, it will add the controller XML back,
while older libvirt won't be confused with it although it will still
tell qemu to create the controller.
Similar approach can be used in the future whenever we find out we
always enabled some kind of device without properly advertising it in
domain XML.

If console[0] is an alias for serial[0], do not enforce the former to
have a PTY source type. This breaks serial consoles on stdio and makes
no sense.

Currently, we have 3 boolean arguments we have to pass
to qemuProcessStart(). As libvirt grows it is harder and harder
to remember them and their position. Therefore we should
switch to flags instead.
Instead of returning a CPUs list, numad returns NUMA node
list instead, this patch is to convert the node list to
cpumap before affinity setting. Otherwise, the domain
processes will be pinned only to CPU[$numa_cell_num],
which will cause significiant performance losses.
Also because numad will balance the affinity dynamically,
reflecting the cpuset from numad back doesn't make much
sense then, and it may just could produce confusion for
the users. Thus the better way is not to reflect it back
to XML. And in this case, it's better to ignore the cpuset
when parsing XML.
The codes to update the cpuset is removed in this patch
incidentally, and there will be a follow up patch to ignore
the manually specified "cpuset" if "placement" is "auto",
and document will be updated too.
In case an API fails with "cannot acquire state change lock", searching
for the API that possibly forgot to end its job is not always easy.
Let's keep track of the job owner and print it out for easier
identification.
As reported by Daniel Berrangé, we have a huge performance regression
for virDomainGetInfo() due to the change which makes virDomainEndJob()
save the XML status file every time it is called. Previous to that
change, 2000 calls to virDomainGetInfo() took ~2.5 seconds. After that
change, 2000 calls to virDomainGetInfo() take 2 *minutes* 45 secs.
We made the change to be able to recover from libvirtd restart in the
middle of a job. However, only destroy and async jobs are taken care of.
Thus it makes more sense to only save domain state XML when these jobs
are started/stopped.
If the daemon is restarted it will lose list of active
USB devices assigned to active domains. Therefore we need
to rebuild this list on qemuProcessReconnect().
Originally, qemuDomainCheckEjectableMedia was entering monitor with qemu
driver lock. Commit 2067e31bf9, which I
made to fix that, revealed another issue we had (but didn't notice it
since the driver was locked): we didn't set nested job when
qemuDomainCheckEjectableMedia is called during migration. Thus the
original fix I made was wrong.
Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to
qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to
'localtime' instead of 'utc'.
Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.
Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.
Adapt the only user 'qemu' to the new name.
Extend the RelaxNG schema accordingly.
Document the new 'basis' attribute in the HTML documentation.
Adapt test for the new attribute.

When qemu cannot start, we may call qemuProcessStop() twice.
We have check whether the vm is running at the beginning of
qemuProcessStop() to avoid libvirt deadlock. We call
qemuProcessStop() with driver and vm locked. It seems that
we can avoid libvirt deadlock. But unfortunately we may
unlock driver and vm in the function qemuProcessKill() while
vm->def->id is not -1. So qemuProcessStop() will be run twice,
and monitor will be freed unexpectedly. So we should set
vm->def->id to -1 at the beginning of qemuProcessStop().
Found when attempting to build on Fedora 17 alpha with:
./autogen.sh --system --enable-compile-warnings=error
(this same build command works without problem on Fedora 16). Since
the consumer of the qemuProcessReconnectData doesn't assume that the
other fields of the struct are initialized (although it uses them
internally), the simpler solution is to just switch to C99-style
struct initialization (which doesn't require specification of all
fields).
Return statements with parameter enclosed in parentheses were modified
and parentheses were removed. The whole change was scripted, here is how:
List of files was obtained using this command:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$'
Found files were modified with this command:
sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Then checked for nonsense.
The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
This introduces a new running reason VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING_WAKEUP,
and new suspend event type VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STARTED_WAKEUP.
While a wakeup event is emitted, the domain which entered into
VIR_DOMAIN_PMSUSPENDED will be transferred to "running"
with reason VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING_WAKEUP, and a new domain lifecycle
event emitted with type VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STARTED_WAKEUP.
This patch introduces a new event type for the QMP event
SUSPEND:
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_PMSUSPEND
The event doesn't take any data, but considering there might
be reason for wakeup in future, the callback definition is:
typedef void
(*virConnectDomainEventSuspendCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int reason,
void *opaque);
"reason" is unused currently, always passes "0".
This patch introduces a new event type for the QMP event
WAKEUP:
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_PMWAKEUP
The event doesn't take any data, but considering there might
be reason for wakeup in future, the callback definition is:
typedef void
(*virConnectDomainEventWakeupCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int reason,
void *opaque);

This patch introduces a new event type for the QMP event
DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED, which occurs when the tray of a removable
disk is moved (i.e opened or closed):
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_TRAY_CHANGE
The event's data includes the device alias and the reason
for tray status' changing, which indicates why the tray
status was changed. Thus the callback definition for the event
is:
enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_TRAY_CHANGE_OPEN = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_TRAY_CHANGE_CLOSE,
\#ifdef VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_TRAY_CHANGE_LAST
\#endif
} virDomainEventTrayChangeReason;
typedef void
(*virConnectDomainEventTrayChangeCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
const char *devAlias,
int reason,
void *opaque);
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
Even though we say in documentation setting (tls-)port to -1 is legacy
compat style for enabling autoport, we're roughly doing this for VNC.
However, in case of SPICE auto enable autoport iff both port & tlsPort
are equal -1 as documentation says autoport plays with both.
Currently, startupPolicy='requisite' was determining cold boot
by migrateFrom != NULL. That means, if domain was started up
with migrateFrom set we didn't require disk source path and allowed
it to be dropped. However, on snapshot-revert domain wasn't migrated
but according to documentation, requisite should drop disk source
as well.
