Paolo Bonzini points out that in my refactoring of the code for
virDomainMigrate(), I added a check for the return value from
virDomainMigratePerform(). The problem is that we don't want to
exit if we fail, we actually want to go on and do
virDomainMigrateFinish2() with a non-0 return code to clean things
up. Remove the check.
While reproducing this issue, I also noticed that we wouldn't
always properly propagate an error message. In particular, I
found that if you blocked off the migration ports (with iptables)
and then tried the migration, it would actually fail but we would
get no failure output from Qemu. Therefore, we would think we
succeeded, and leave a huge mess behind us. Execute the monitor
command "info migrate", and look for a failure string in there
as well.

Calling qsort() on the disks array causes disk to be
unneccessarily re-ordered, potentially breaking the
ability to boot if the boot disk gets moved later in
the list. The new algorithm will insert a new disk as
far to the end of the list as possible, while being
ordered correctly wrt other disks on the same bus.
* src/domain_conf.c, src/domain_conf.h: Remove disk sorting
routines. Add API to insert a disk into existing list at
the optimal position, without resorting disks
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainDiskInsert
* src/xend_internal.c, src/xm_internal.c: Remove calls to
qsort, use virDomainDiskInsert instead.
* src/qemu_driver.c: Remove calls to qsort, use virDoaminDiskInsert
instead. Fix reordering bugs when hotunplugging disks and
networks. Fix memory leak in disk/net unplug
The if ((nlptr...)) implicitly assumes commptr != NULL (and that "buf"
starts with "cmd"). Make the assumption explicit, it will be broken in
a future patch.
* src/qemu_driver.c: Don't assume buffered monitor output echoes the
command.
Per prior discussion -- this was, indeed, trivial.
I'm a little disappointed to be breaking the ordering characteristics of
the enum (as it had been ordered by increasing time requirements and
decreasing output size), but breaking any save files with the old
constants in the headers would of course be worse.

Subject: [PATCH] support lzop save compression for qemu
One of the larger disincentives towards use of compression for migrated-out save
files is performance impact. This patch adds support for lzop; CPU time for
compression is about 5x faster than gzip (the next most performant algorithm)
and decompression is about 3x faster.

qemudExtractMonitorPath() was doing a VIR_ALLOC_N followed by a
strncpy. However, this isn't necessary; we can do the same thing
using strndup, which is much safer.

As we start/shutdown guests, or hotplug/hot-unplug devices, we can add
or delete devices as appropriate from a list of active devices.
Then, in pciReset(), we can use this to determine whether its safe to
reset a device as a side effect of resetting another device.
* src/qemu_conf.h: add activePciHostdevs to qemud_driver
* src/qemu_driver.c: maintain the activePciHostdevs list, and pass it
to pciResetDevice()
* src/pci.[ch]: pass the activeDevs list to pciResetDevice() and use
it to determine whether a Secondary Bus Reset is safe
The qemuPrepareHostDevices() and qemuDomainReAttachHostDevices()
functions are clutter with a bunch of calls to pciGetDevice() and
pciFreeDevice() obscuring the basic logic.
Add a pciDeviceList type and add a qemuGetPciHostDeviceList() function
to build a list from a domain definition. Use this in prepare/re-attach
fto simplify things and eliminate the multiple pciGetDevice calls.
This is especially useful because in the next patch we need to iterate
the hostdevs list a third time and we also need a list type for keeping
track of active devices.
* src/pci.[ch]: add pciDeviceList type and also a per-device 'managed'
property
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the new functions
* src/qemu_driver.c: add qemuGetPciHostDeviceList() and re-write
qemuPrepareHostDevices() and qemuDomainReAttachHostDevices() to use it
Newer versions of QEMU accept 'pci_add auto', but older versions require
'pci_add pci_addr=auto'
* src/qemu_driver.c: use pci_addr= in qemudDomainAttachHostPciDevice()
for older versions of QEMU
When we hot-unplug a PCI host device from a guest, we should reset it.
Both managed and unmanaged devices should be reset, but only managed
devices should be re-attached.
* src/qemu_driver.c: reset devices in qemudDomainDetachHostPciDevice()
Right now we're only resetting managed devices before hotplug, but we
should reset them irrespective of whether they are managed.
* src/qemu_driver.c: reset all PCI hostdevs before hotplug
It turns out that the previous attempt at this doesn't work well
in the case of hotplug. We need qemuCheckPciHostDevice() to
disallow the reset affecting devices already attach to the guest,
but we still need to avoid double locking the virDomainObjPtr.
This is all getting messy, I've a better idea.
This reverts commit 6318808270 and
c106c8a18c.
* src/qemu_driver.c, src/pci.[ch], src/xen_unified.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: revert a bunch of stuff.
The current code makes a poor effort at updating the device arrays after
hot-unplug. Fix that and combine the two code paths into one.
* src/qemu_driver.c: fix list updating in qemudDomainDetachNetDevice(),
qemudDomainDetachPciDiskDevice() and qemudDomainDetachHostPciDevice()
Implement a compressed save image format for qemu. While ideally
we would have the choice between compressed/non-compressed
available to the libvirt API, unfortunately there is no "flags"
parameter to the virDomainSave() API. Therefore, implement this
as a qemu.conf option. gzip, bzip2, and lzma are implemented, and
it should be very easy to implement additional compression
methods.
One open question is if/how we should detect the compression
binaries. One way to do it is to do compile-time setting of the
paths (via configure.in), but that doesn't seem like a great thing
to do. My preferred solution is not to detect at all;
when we go to run the commands that need them, if they
aren't available, or aren't available in one of the standard paths,
then we'll fail. That's also the solution implemented in this patch.
In the future, we'll have a more robust (managed) save/restore API,
at which time we can expose this functionality properly in the API.
V2: get rid of redundant dd command and just use >> to append data.
V3: Add back the missing pieces for the enum and bumping the save version.
V4: Make the compressed field in the save_header an int.
Implement LZMA compression.

If a PCI device reset causes other devices to be reset, allow it so long
as those other devices are note assigned to another active domain.
Note, we need to take the driver lock qemudNodeDeviceReset() because the
check function will iterate over the domain list.
* src/qemu_conf.c: add qemuCheckPciHostDevice() to iterate over active
domains checking whether the affected device is assigned
* src/pci.[ch]: add pciDeviceEquals() helper
When using a Secondary Bus Reset, all devices on the bus are reset.
Extend the pciResetDevice() API so that a 'check' callback can be
supplied which will verify that it is safe to reset the other devices
on the bus.
The virDomainObjPtr parameter is needed so that when the check function
iterates over the domain list, it can avoid double locking.
* src/pci.[ch]: add a 'check' callback to pciResetDevice(), re-work
pciIterDevices() to pass the check function to the iter functions,
use the check function in the bus iterator, return the first unsafe
device from pciBusCheckOtherDevices() and include its details in
the bus reset error message.
* src/qemu_driver.c, src/xen_uninified.c: just pass NULL as the
check function for now
Currently, if we are unable to reset a PCI device we return a fairly
generic 'No PCI reset capability available' error message.
Fix that by returning an error from the individual reset messages and
using that error to construct the higher level error mesage.
* src/pci.c: set errors in pciTryPowerManagementReset() and
pciTrySecondaryBusReset() on failure; use those error messages
in pciResetDevice(), or explain that no reset support is available
When the guest shuts down, we should attempt to restore all PCI host
devices to a sane state.
In the case of managed hostdevs, we should reset and re-attach the
devices. In the case of unmanaged hostdevs, we should just reset them.
Note, KVM will already reset assigned devices when the guest shuts
down using whatever means it can, so we are only doing it to cover the
cases the kernel can't handle.
* src/qemu_driver.c: add qemuDomainReAttachHostDevices() and call
it from qemudShutdownVMDaemon()
Attaching a host PCI device to a qemu guest is done with a
straightforward 'pci_add auto host host=XX:XX.X' command.
Like with NIC and disk hotplug, we need to retain the guest PCI address
assigned by qemu so that we can use it for hot-unplug.
Identifying a device for detach is done using the host PCI address.
Managed mode is handled by detaching/resetting the device before
attaching it to the guest and re-attaching it after detaching it from
the guest.
* src/qemu_driver.c: add qemudDomainAttachHostPciDevice() and
qemudDomainDetachHostPciDevice()
* src/domain_conf.h: add somewhere to store the guest PCI address
* src/domain_conf.c: handle formatting and parsing the guest PCI
address
Re-factor the hostdev hotplug code so that we can easily add PCI
hostdev hotplug to qemudDomainAttachHostDevice().
* src/qemu_driver.c: rename qemudDomainAttachHostDevice() to
qemudDomainAttachHostUsbDevice(); make qemudDomainAttachHostDevice()
handle all hostdev types
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export a couple of hostdev related
ToString() functions
As of qemu 0.10.6, qemu now honors the -S flag on incoming migration.
That means that when the migration completes, we have to issue a
'cont' command to get the VM running again. We do it unconditionally
since it won't hurt on older qemu.

When doing a restore, we were forgetting to update the state file
for the VM. That means that if you do a save/restore, then shut
down libvirtd, then start it back up, you'll see the state of the
guest as "paused", even though it is really running. We were
just forgetting a "virDomainSaveStatus" call in the restor path.

If we're running qemu unprivileged, we need to chown any supplied kernel
or initrd before spawning it.
* src/qemu_driver.c: rename qemuDomainSetDiskOwnership() to
qemuDomainSetFileOwnership(), pass it a path string instead of a disk
definition and use it for chowning the kernel/initrd in
qemuDomainSetAllDeviceOwnership()
Fix up qemudDomainMigratePrepare2 to use virGetHostname instead of
gethostname. Besides the fact that virGetHostname is far more clever,
there was a latent bug in the handling that could cause a buffer overflow
on a very long hostname.

* src/util.c: Don't drop capabilities until after the PID file has
been written. Kill off child if writing the PID file fails
* src/qemu_driver.c: Remove bogus trailing '/' in state dir
* src/qemu_driver.c: fix qemudOpenMonitorUnix() to retry on ENOENT
instead of EACCES which is the error one receive when the socket
error hasn't shown up yet
In order to hotplug a network/bridge backed NIC, we need to first create
the tap file descriptor, add the tap interface to the bridge and then
pass the file descriptor to the qemu process using the 'getfd' monitor
command.
Once the tapfd has been accepted, we create the network backend using
host_net_add, supplying the name assigned to the tapfd. If this fails,
we need to close the tapfd in qemu using the 'closefd' monitor command.
If the version of qemu does not support the getfd/closefd monitor
commands we detect "unknown command" in the getfd reply and fail the
attach operation.
* src/qemu_driver.c: add support for tapfd based hotplug in
qemudDomainAttachNetDevice()
Add qemudMonitorCommandWithFd() which allows a file descriptor to be
sent to qemu over a unix monitor socket using SCM_RIGHTS. See the
unix(7) and cmsg(3) man pages.
* src/qemu_conf.c: add a scm_fd param to qemudMonitorCommandExtra(),
add qemudMonitorCommandWithFd(), implement SCM_RIGHTS support in
qemudMonitorSendUnix()
Switch from using write() to using sendmsg() on QEMU's monitor socket
so that we can add support for SCM_RIGHTS.
* src/qemu_driver.c: add sendmsg() based qemudMonitorSendUnix() and use
it when the monitor fd is a unix socket
Add a little helper function to write the monitor command followed by
carriage return in a single write.
This doesn't make any real difference, but allows us to more easily
switch to using sendmsg() when using the monitor over a unix socket.
* src/qemu_conf.c: split qemudMonitorSend() out
In subsequent patches we're going to have a file descriptor to close
too, so centralize the error handling cleanups to make things easier.
* src/qemu_conf.c: in qemudDomainAttachNetDevice() consolidate the
error handling cleanups together
With hotplug, we're going to want to pass a tapfd name rather than an
actual file descriptor, so prepare the way by passing a string tapfd to
qemuBuildHostNetStr().
* src/qemu_conf.h: qemuBuildHostNetStr() takes a string tapfd now
* src/qemu_conf.c: pass qemuBuildHostNetStr() a string rather than an
actual file descriptor
* src/qemu_driver.c: update qemudDomainAttachNetDevice() for change
