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.*

This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported.
I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.
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
the virHash code, this has the added benefit of making OOM
reporting from this code more consistent and reliable.
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).

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.
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.
When formatting XML for smartcard device with mode=host, libvirt
generates invalid XML if the device has address info associated:

In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available
v5:

QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>
This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').
Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.
v2:
schema: Make listen vs. socket a <choice>
This will allow us to record transient runtime state in vm->def, like
default VNC parameters. Accomplish this by adding an extra 'live' parameter
to SetDefTransient, with similar semantics to the 'live' flag for
AssignDef.
The public object is called NWFilter but the corresponding private
object is called NWFilterPool. I don't see compelling reasons for this
Pool suffix. One might argue that an NWFilter is a "pool" of rules, etc.
Remove the Pool suffix from NWFilterPool. No functional change included.
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.
This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.
This is in response to a request in:

In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).
Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.
The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.
<interface type='network'>
...
<tune>
<sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
...
</tune>
</interface>

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.
This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:
<interface type="network">
<model type="virtio"/>
<driver name="vhost"/>
will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.
If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.
Extend the virDomainFeature enumeration to include HAP (hardware
assisted paging) feature.
Hardware features such as Extended Page Table and Nested Page
Table augment hypervisor software techniques such as shadow
page table. Adding HAP to the virDomainFeature enumeration
allows users to select between hardware and software memory
management mechanisms for their guests.
If invalid type is specified, e.g.
<serial type='foo'>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
We replace 'foo' with "null" type implicitly, without reporting an
error message to tell the user, and "start" or "edit" the domain
will be success.
It's not good to guess what the user wants, This patch is to fix
the problem.

The crash in that report was coincidentally fixed when we switched
from using inet_pton() to using virSocketParseAddr(), but the absence
of an ip address in a dhcp static host definition was still silently
ignored (and that entry discarded from the saved XML). This patch
turns that into a logged failure; likewise if the entry has neither a
mac address nor a name attribute (the entry is useless without at
least one of those, plus an ip address).
Since the network name is now pulled into this function in order for
those error logs to be more informative, the other error messages in
the function have also been changed to take advantage.
Running an instance of the router advertisement daemon (radvd) allows
guests using the virtual network to automatically acquire an IPv6
address and default route. Note that acquiring an address only works
for networks with a prefix length of exactly 64 - radvd is still run
in other circumstances, and still advertises routes, but autoconf will
not work because it requires exactly 64 bits of address info from the
network prefix.
This patch avoids a race condition with the pidfile by manually
daemonizing radvd rather than allowing it to daemonize itself, then
creating our own pidfile (in addition to radvd's own file, which is
unnecessary, but there is no way to tell radvd to not create it). This
is accomplished by exec'ing it with "--debug 1" in the commandline,
and using virCommand's features to fork, create a pidfile, and detach
from the newly forked process.
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
* there can now be more than one <ip> element.
* ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
* new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
* new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
(will default to ipv4)
* define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
(including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
correctly parsed and formatted.
When a netmask isn't specified for an IPv4 address, one can be implied
based on what network class range the address is in. The
virNetworkDefPrefix function does this for us, so netmask isn't
required.
Later patches will add the possibility to define a network's netmask
as a prefix (0-32, or 0-128 in the case of IPv6). To make it easier to
deal with definition of both kinds (prefix or netmask), add two new
functions:
virNetworkDefNetmask: return a copy of the netmask into a
virSocketAddr. If no netmask was specified in the XML, create a
default netmask based on the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address.
virNetworkDefPrefix: return the netmask as numeric prefix (or the
default prefix for the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address, if no netmask was specified in the XML)
Network disks are accessed by qemu directly, and have no

Do this by adding a helper function to get the persistent domain config. This
should be useful for other functions that may eventually want to alter
the persistent domain config (attach/detach device). Also make similar changes
to the test drivers setvcpus command.
A caveat is that the function will return the running config for a transient
domain, rather than error. This simplifies callers, as long as they use
other methods to ensure the guest is persistent.
This function sets the running domain definition as transient, by reparsing
the persistent config and assigning it to newDef. This ensures that any
changes made to the running definition and not the persistent config are
discarded when the VM is shutdown.
I am trying to use a qcow image with libvirt where the backing 'file' is a
qemu-nbd server. Unfortunately virDomainDiskDefForeachPath() assumes that
backingStore is always a real file so something like 'nbd:0:3333' is rejected
because a file with that name cannot be accessed. Note that I am not worried
about directly using nbd images. That would require a new disk type with XML
markup, etc. I only want it to be permitted as a backingStore

expiry time to be set
eg
<graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us' passwd='12345' passwdValidTo='2010-04-09T15:51:00'/>
The timestamp is in UTC.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Pull passwd out into separate struct
virDomainGraphicsAuthDef to allow sharing between VNC & SPICE
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add parsing/formatting of new passwdValidTo
argument
* src/opennebula/one_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c,
src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Update for changed
struct containing VNC password
This adds an element
<graphics type='spice' port='5903' tlsPort='5904' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/>
This is the bare minimum that should be exposed in the guest
config for SPICE. Other parameters are better handled as per
host level configuration tunables
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Define the SPICE <graphics> schema
* src/domain_conf.h, src/domain_conf.c: Add parsing and formatting
for SPICE graphics config
* src/qemu_conf.c: Complain about unsupported graphics types
* src/qemu_conf.c: Add dummy entry in enumeration
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add 'qxl' as a type for the <video> tag
* src/domain_conf.c, src/domain_conf.h: Add QXL to video type
enumerations
Move existing routines about virSysinfoDef to an util module,
add a new entry point virSysinfoRead() to read the host values
with dmidecode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h src/util/sysinfo.c
src/util/sysinfo.h: move to a new module, add virSysinfoRead()
* src/Makefile.am: handle the new module build
* src/libvirt_private.syms: new internal symbols
* include/libvirt/virterror.h src/util/virterror.c: defined a new
error code for that module
* po/POTFILES.in: add new file for translations
the element has a mode attribute allowing only 3 values:
- emulate: use the smbios emulation from the hypervisor
- host: try to use the smbios values from the node
- sysinfo: grab the values from the <sysinfo> fields
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: extend the schemas
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the flag to the domain config
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: parse and serialize the smbios if present
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: defines a new internal type added to the
domain structure
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: parsing and serialization of that new type
During a shutdown/restart cycle libvirtd forgot the macvtap device name that it had created on behalf of a VM so that a stale macvtap device remained on the host when the VM terminated. Libvirtd has to actively tear down a macvtap device and it uses its name for identifying which device to tear down.
The solution is to not blank out the <target dev='...'/> completely, but only blank it out on VMs that are not active. So, if a VM is active, the device name makes it into the XML and is also being parsed. If a VM is not active, the device name is discarded.
The network address was being set to 192.168.122.0 instead
of 192.168.122.0/24. Fix this by removing the unneccessary
'network' field from virNetworkDef and just pass the
network address and netmask into the iptables APIs directly.
* src/conf/network_conf.h, src/conf/network_conf.c: Remove
the 'network' field from virNEtworkDef.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update for iptables API changes
* src/util/iptables.c, src/util/iptables.h: Require the
network address + netmask pair to be passed in
The boot server IP address is optional, so it needs to be
checked before attempting to parse it.
* src/conf/network_conf.c: Don't parse NULL ip address for
boot server
Instead of storing the IP address string in virNetwork related
structs, store the parsed virSocketAddr. This will make it
easier to add IPv6 support in the future, by letting driver
code directly check what address family is present
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.h,
src/network/bridge_driver.c: Convert to use virSocketAddr
in virNetwork, instead of char *.
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h,
src/util/dnsmasq.c, src/util/dnsmasq.h,
src/util/iptables.c, src/util/iptables.h: Convert to
take a virSocketAddr instead of char * for any IP
address parameters
* src/util/network.h: Add macros to determine if an address
is set, and what address family is set.
The inet_pton and inet_ntop functions are obsolete, replaced
by getaddrinfo+getnameinfo with the AI_NUMERICHOST flag set.
These can be accessed via the virSocket APIs.
The bridge.c code had methods for fetching the IP address of
a bridge which used inet_ntop. Aside from the use of inet_ntop
these methods are broken, because a NIC can have multiple
addresses and this only returns one address. Since the methods
are never used, just remove them.
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.c:
Replace inet_pton and inet_ntop with virSocket APIs
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Remove unused methods
which called inet_ntop.
The virSocketParse method was not doing any error reporting
which meant the true cause of the problem was lost. Remove
all error reporting from callers, and push it into virSocketParse
* src/util/network.c: Add error reporting to virSocketParse
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.c,
src/network/bridge_driver.c: Remove error reporting in
callers of virSocketParse
The getnameinfo() function is more flexible than inet_ntop()
avoiding the need to if/else the code based on socket family.
Also make it support UNIX socket addrs and allow inclusion
of a port (service) address. Finally do proper error reporting
via normal APIs.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Fix error handling with virSocketFormat
* src/util/network.c: Rewrite virSocketFormat to use getnameinfo
and cope with UNIX socket addrs.
The nwIPAddress was simply a wrapper about virSocketAddr.
Just use the latter directly, removing all the extra field
de-references from code & helper APIs for parsing/formatting.
Also remove all the redundant casts from strong types to
void * and then immediately back to strong types.
* src/conf/nwfilter_conf.h: Remove nwIPAddress
* src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c:
Update to use virSocketAddr and remove void * casts.
The virSocketParseAddr function was accepting any AF_* constant
and using that to set the ai_flags field in struct addrinfo.
This is invalid, since address families must go in the ai_family
field of the struct.
* src/util/network.c: Fix handling of address family
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c: Pass
AF_UNSPEC instead of relying on it being 0.
Some operations on socket addresses need to know the length of
the sockaddr struct for the particular address family. This
info was being discarded when passing around virSocketAddr
instances. Turn it from a union into a struct containing
union+socklen_t fields, so length is always kept around.
* src/util/network.h: Add socklen_t field to virSocketAddr
* src/util/network.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/conf/domain_conf.c: Update to take account of new
struct definition.
Although this patch adds a distinction between maximum vcpus and
current vcpus in the XML, the values should be identical for all
drivers at this point. Only in subsequent per-driver patches will
a distinction be made.
In general, virDomainGetInfo should prefer the current vcpus.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainDef): Adjust vcpus to unsigned
short, to match virDomainGetInfo limit. Add maxvcpus member.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDefParseXML)
(virDomainDefFormat): parse and print out vcpu details.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonParseSxpr)
(xenDaemonFormatSxpr): Manage both vcpu numbers, and require them
to be equal for now.
* src/xen/xm_internal.c (xenXMDomainConfigParse)
(xenXMDomainConfigFormat): Likewise.
* src/phyp/phyp_driver.c (phypDomainDumpXML): Likewise.

Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.
There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.
I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).
This introduces new attribute to filesystem element
to support customizable access mode for mount type.
Valid accessmode are: passthrough, mapped and squash.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
passthrough is the default model if not specified, that's
also the current behaviour.
This is from a bug report and conversation on IRC where Soren reported that while a filter update is occurring on one or more VMs (due to a rule having been edited for example), a deadlock can occur when a VM referencing a filter is started.
The problem is caused by the two locking sequences of
qemu driver, qemu domain, filter # for the VM start operation
filter, qemu_driver, qemu_domain # for the filter update operation
that obviously don't lock in the same order. The problem is the 2nd lock sequence. Here the qemu_driver lock is being grabbed in qemu_driver:qemudVMFilterRebuild()
The following solution is based on the idea of trying to re-arrange the 2nd sequence of locks as follows:
qemu_driver, filter, qemu_driver, qemu_domain
and making the qemu driver recursively lockable so that a second lock can occur, this would then lead to the following net-locking sequence
qemu_driver, filter, qemu_domain
where the 2nd qemu_driver lock has been ( logically ) eliminated.
The 2nd part of the idea is that the sequence of locks (filter, qemu_domain) and (qemu_domain, filter) becomes interchangeable if all code paths where filter AND qemu_domain are locked have a preceding qemu_domain lock that basically blocks their concurrent execution
So, the following code paths exist towards qemu_driver:qemudVMFilterRebuild where we now want to put a qemu_driver lock in front of the filter lock.
-> nwfilterUndefine() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTestUnassignDef()
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDefine()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDriverReload()
-> virNWFilterPoolLoadAllConfigs()
->virNWFilterPoolObjLoad()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDriverStartup()
-> virNWFilterPoolLoadAllConfigs()
->virNWFilterPoolObjLoad()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
Qemu is not the only driver using the nwfilter driver, but also the UML driver calls into it. Therefore qemuVMFilterRebuild() can be exchanged with umlVMFilterRebuild() along with the driver lock of qemu_driver that can now be a uml_driver. Further, since UML and Qemu domains can be running on the same machine, the triggering of a rebuild of the filter can touch both types of drivers and their domains.
In the patch below I am now extending each nwfilter callback driver with functions for locking and unlocking the (VM) driver (UML, QEMU) and introduce new functions for locking all registered callback drivers and unlocking them. Then I am distributing the lock-all-cbdrivers/unlock-all-cbdrivers call into the above call paths. The last shown callpath starting with nwfilterDriverStart() is problematic since it is initialize before the Qemu and UML drives are and thus a lock in the path would result in a NULL pointer attempted to be locked -- the call to virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild() is never called, so we never lock either the qemu_driver or the uml_driver in that path. Therefore, only the first 3 paths now receive calls to lock and unlock all callback drivers. Now that the locks are distributed where it matters I can remove the qemu_driver and uml_driver lock from qemudVMFilterRebuild() and umlVMFilterRebuild() and not requiring the recursive locks.
For now I want to put this out as an RFC patch. I have tested it by 'stretching' the critical section after the define/undefine functions each lock the filter so I can (easily) concurrently execute another VM operation (suspend,start). That code is in this patch and if you want you can de-activate it. It seems to work ok and operations are being blocked while the update is being done.
I still also want to verify the other assumption above that locking filter and qemu_domain always has a preceding qemu_driver lock.
Adding parsing code for memory tunables in the domain xml file
also change the internal define structures used for domain memory
informations
Adds a new specific test
To enable the CPU XML from the capabilities to be pasted directly
into the guest XML with no editing, pick a sensible default for
match and feature policy. The CPU match will be exact and the
feature policy will be require. This should ensure safety for
migration and give DWIM semantics for users
* src/conf/cpu_conf.c: Default to exact match and require policy
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document new defaults
Since version 4.1 ESX(i) can expose virtual serial devices over TCP.
Add support in the VMX handling code for this, add test cases to cover
it and add links to some documentation.
ESX supports two additional protocols: TELNETS and TLS. Add them to
the list of serial-over-TCP protocols.
The <vcpu cpuset=...> attribute has been available since commit
e193b5dd, but without documentation or RNG validation.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng (vcpu): Further validate cpuset.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Fix typos.
Other drivers will need this same functionality, so move it to up to
conf/domain_conf.c and give it a more general name.

Xen supports on_crash actions coredump-{destroy,restart}. libvirt
cannot parse config returned by xend that contains either of these
actions
xen52 # xm li -l test | grep on_crash
(on_crash coredump-restart)
xen52 # virsh dumpxml test
error: internal error unknown lifecycle type coredump-restart
This patch adds a new virDomainLifecycleCrash enum and appends
the new options to existing destroy, restart, preserve, and
rename-restart options.
I wrote a patch to add support for listing the Vendor and Model of a
storage pool in the storage pool XML. This would allow vendor
extensions of specific devices. The patch includes a test for the new
attributes as well.

This patch fixes a couple of complaints from valgrind when tickling libvirtd with SIGHUP.
The first two files contain fixes for memory leaks. The 3rd one initializes an uninitialized variable. The 4th one is another memory leak.
