When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt
* configure.ac, src/Makefile.am: Ensure libvirt.so is linked
with -z nodelete
* cfg.mk, .gitignore, tests/Makefile.am, tests/shunloadhelper.c,
tests/shunloadtest.c: A test case to unload libvirt while
a thread is still running.
Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.
By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.
Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
When a domain is rebooted using libvirt API, we use fake reboot
consisting of shutting down and resetting the domain. Thus we see a
SHUTDOWN event and set gotShutdown flag. But we never reset it back and
if the domain crashes after it was rebooted this way, we consider it was
a normal shutdown and not a crash.
Commit 4454a9efc7 changed shutoff reason
from VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_CRASHED to VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_FAILED in case we
see an unexpected EOF on monitor connection. But FAILED reason is
dedicated for domains that fail to start. CRASHED reason is the right
one to use in this situation.
Libvirt special-cases a specific VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote driver
back into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT on the client, so that clients can
handle missing rpc functions the same whether the hypervisor driver
is local or remote. However, commit c1b22644 introduced a regression:
VIR_FROM_THIS changed from VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC, so the
special casing no longer works if the server uses the newer error
domain.

Mac OS X 10.6. Snow Leopard and probably other do not provide a mkfs
command to create filesystems. Macro MKFS then remained undefined and
did not provide any substitute, so that build failed on a missing
argument.
Struct virStoragePoolProbeResult was compiled in conditionaly, but
virStorageBackendFileSystemProbe used it unconditionaly. This patch
exempts the struct from conditional include.
Documentation did not specify, that some permissions are required on
target path for coredump for the user running the hypervisor.
Diff to v1:
- reword statements
With this patch, it is hopefully a bit more obvious that for
snapshot-create-as, a literal '--diskspec' is mandatory if name
or description was omitted, but optional if all earlier options
were provided.
These all denote two diskspecs and a description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb name desc
This gives two diskspecs but no description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
And this treats 'vda' as the description, with only one diskspec:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name vda vdb
The help output now shows:
snapshot-create-as <domain> [<name>] [<description>] [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [[--diskspec] <string>]...
I also checked the help output for echo and send-key, which are two
other variants of argv commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document when a literal
--diskspec must preceed a diskspec argument.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Update help output for argv when
naming the option is useful.
(vshCmddefGetData): Fix logic on when argv was seen.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Add tests to avoid regressions.
The new doc text had a few readability issues. Also, the
monitor command text copied a bit too much from the attach case.
* src/libvirt-qemu.c (virDomainQemuMonitorCommand)
(virDomainQemuAttach): Fix typos and grammar.
Adjust qemuMigrationRun() to use migMaxBandwidth in qemuDomainObjPrivate
structure when setting qemu migration speed. Caller-specified 'resource'
parameter overrides migMaxBandwidth.
The qemu migration speed default is 32MiB/s as defined in migration.c
/* Migration speed throttling */
static int64_t max_throttle = (32 << 20);
There's no need to throttle migration when targeting a file, so set migration
speed to unlimited prior to migration, and restore to libvirt default value
after migration.
Default units is MB for migrate_set_speed monitor command, so
(INT64_MAX / (1024 * 1024)) is used for unlimited migration speed.
Tested with both json and text monitors.
Now that migration speed is stored in qemuDomainObjPrivate structure,
save the new value when invoking qemuDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed().
Allow setting migration speed on inactive domain too.
The maximum bandwidth that can be consumed when migrating a domain
is better classified as an operational vs configuration parameter of
the dommain. As such, store this parameter in qemuDomainObjPrivate
structure.
Commit c246b025 added new functions, but forgot to export them,
resulting in a build failure when using modules.

Commit 973fcd8f introduced the ability for qemu to reject snapshot
reversion on an ABI incompatibility; but the very example that was
first proposed on-list[1] as a demonstration of an ABI incompatibility,
namely that of changing the max memory allocation, was not being
checked for, resulting in a cryptic failure when running with larger
max mem than what the snapshot was created with:
error: operation failed: Error -22 while loading VM state
This commit merely protects the three variables within mem that are
referenced by qemu_command.c, rather than all 7 (the other 4 variables
affect cgroup handling, but as far as I can tell, have no visible effect
to the qemu guest). This also affects migration and save file handling,
which are other places where we perform ABI compatibility checks.

Commit 498d783 cleans up some of virtual file names for parsing strings
in memory. This patch cleans up (hopefuly) the rest forgotten by the
first patch.
This patch also changes all of the previously modified "filenames" to
valid URI's replacing spaces for underscores.
Changes to v1:
- Replace all spaces for underscores, so that the strings form valid
URI's
- Replace spaces in places changed by commit 498d783
Commit 2a0d75e5 added file python/libvirt-qemu-override.c that contains

Commit ffe28ab74b introduced regression
while communicating with older libvirtd command 'domblkstat' used the new
API and did not check for VIR_ERR_RPC error code signalling the remote
server does not support this API and did not fall back to older API.
Thereafter 'domblkstat' ended with "error: unknown procedure: 243".
Regression introduced in commit 3881a470, due to an improper rebase
of a cleanup written beforehand but only applied after a rebased of
a refactoring that created a new function in commit 25fb3ef.
Also avoids passing NULL to printf %s.

This is a bit painful for example when starting virt-manager
it tends to clutter libvirtd.log with invalid operation on cpu pinning
for defined but not running domains. A priori those kind of errors
don't indicate an error when executing the command but on a precondition
for running the API, and honnestly while the application should report
it, logging it as an error in libvirtd.log is not really useful,
Related bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590807
* daemon/libvirtd.c: extend daemonErrorLogFilter() to filter out
errors of type VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID
'+' in strings get translated to ' ' when editing domains.
While xenDaemonDomainCreateXML() did URL-escape the sexpr,
xenDaemonDomainDefineXML() did not.
Remove the explicit urlencode() in xenDaemonDomainCreateXML() and add
the direct encoding calls to xend_op_ext() because it calls xend_post()
which uses "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded". According
to <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1> this
requires all parameters to be url-encoded as specified in rfc1738.
Notice: virBufferAsprintf(..., "%s=%s", ...) is again replaced by three
calls to virBufferURIEncodeString() and virBufferAddChar() because '='
is a "reserved" character, which would get escaped by
virBufferURIEncodeString(), which - by the way - escapes anything not
c_isalnum().

While parsing XML strings from memory, the previous convention in
libvirt was to set the virtual file name to "domain.xml" or something
similar. This could potentialy trick the user into looking for a file
named domain.xml on the disk in an attempt to fix the error.
This patch changes these filenames to something that can't be as easily
confused for a valid filename.
Examples of error messages:
---------------------------
Error while loading file from disk:
15:07:59.015: 527: error : catchXMLError:709 : /path/to/domain.xml:1: StartTag: invalid element name
<domain type='kvm'><
--------------------^
Error while parsing definition in memory:
15:08:43.581: 525: error : catchXMLError:709 : (domain definition):2: error parsing attribute name
<name>vm1</name>
--^
Regression introduced in commit d6f6b2d194. Running
'virsh snapshot-create dom' would mistakenly report that
disks can only be specified for disk snapshots.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDefParseString): Only
give error about no disk support when <disk> was found.
