QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53,
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
This patch exposes the support in libvirt.
QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0:
% git tag --contains a9384aff53
contains
v1.5.0-rc0
v1.5.0-rc1
So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.
Adding a VNC WebSocket support for QEMU driver. This functionality is
in upstream qemu from commit described as v1.3.0-982-g7536ee4, so the
capability is being recognized based on QEMU version for now.
QEMU introduced command line "-mem-merge=on|off" (defaults to on) to
enable/disable the memory merge (KSM) at guest startup. This exposes
it by new XML:
<memoryBacking>
<nosharepages/>
</memoryBacking>
The XML tag is same with what we used internally for old RHEL.
Files ending in -invalid.xml are expected to violate the
XML schema check. The RBD file does not so must have a
different filename.

The QEMU command line syntax for RBD disks is
file=rbd:pool/image:opt1=val1:opt2=val2...
There is no way to escape the ':' if it appears in the
pool or image name. Thus it must be explicitly forbidden
if it occurs in the libvirt XML. People are known to
be abusing the lack of escaping in current libvirt to
pass arbitrary args to QEMU.

Except the scsi host device's controller is "lsilogic", mapping
between the libvirt attributes and scsi-generic properties is:
libvirt qemu
-----------------------------------------
controller bus ($libvirt_controller.0)
bus channel
target scsi-id
unit lun
For scsi host device with "lsilogic" controller, the mapping is:
('target (libvirt)' must be 0, as it's not used; 'unit (libvirt)
must <= 7).
libvirt qemu
----------------------------------------------------------
controller && bus bus ($libvirt_controller.$libvirt_bus)
unit scsi-id
It's not good to hardcode/hard-check limits of these attributes,
and even worse, these limits are not documented, one has to find
out by either testing or reading the qemu code, I'm looking forward
to qemu expose limits like these one day). For example, exposing
"max_target", "max_lun" for megasas:
static const struct SCSIBusInfo megasas_scsi_info = {
.tcq = true,
.max_target = MFI_MAX_LD,
.max_lun = 255,
.transfer_data = megasas_xfer_complete,
.get_sg_list = megasas_get_sg_list,
.complete = megasas_command_complete,
.cancel = megasas_command_cancel,
};
Example of the qemu command line (lsilogic controller):
-drive file=/dev/sg2,if=none,id=drive-hostdev-scsi_host7-0-0-0 \
-device scsi-generic,bus=scsi0.0,scsi-id=8,\
drive=drive-hostdev-scsi_host7-0-0-0,id=hostdev-scsi_host7-0-0-0
Example of the qemu command line (virtio-scsi controller):
-drive file=/dev/sg2,if=none,id=drive-hostdev-scsi_host7-0-0-0 \
-device scsi-generic,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=128,lun=128,\

Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.
The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let

For s390 we don't want to have a default USB device generated even
if QEMU is silently tolerating -usb on the command line. This may change
in the future.
Another reason to avoid the USB controller is that it implies a PCI
bus which might cause a regression at some later point in time.
The following change will set the USB controller model to 'none'
unless a model or address has been specified, which can be the case
if a legacy definition is loaded or the XML writer knows what
she/he's doing.
Requiring the user to explicitly disable USB on systems not supporting
it seems cumbersome.
Signed-off-by: Viktor Mihajlovski <mihajlov@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
In the past we automatically added a USB controller and assigned
it a PCI address (0:0:1.2) even on machines without a PCI bus.
This didn't break machines with no PCI bus because the command
line for it is just '-usb', with no mention of the PCI bus.
The implicit IDE controller (reserved address 0:0:1.1) has
no command line at all.
Commit b33eb0dc removed the ability to reserve PCI addresses
on machines without a PCI bus. This made them stop working,
since there would always be the implicit USB controller.
Skip the reservation of addresses for these controllers when
there is no PCI bus, instead of failing.
The device option for vfio-pci is nearly identical to that for
pci-assign - only the configfd parameter isn't supported (or needed).
Checking for presence of the bootindex parameter is done separately
from constructing the commandline, similar to how it is done for
pci-assign.
This patch contains tests to check for proper commandline
construction. It also includes tests for parser-formatter-parser
roundtrips (xml2xml), because those tests use the same data files, and
would have failed had they been included before now.
qemu: xml/args tests for VFIO hostdev and <interface type='hostdev'/>
These should be squashed in with the patch that adds commandline
handling of vfio (they would fail at any earlier time).
When all usb controllers connected to the same bus have <master
startport='x'/> specified, none of them have 'id=usb' assigned and
thus qemu fails due to invalid masterport specification (we use 'usb'
for that purpose). Adding a check that at least one of the
controllers is specified without <master startport='x'/> and in case
this happens, error out due to invalid configuration.
Add a "dry run" address allocation to figure out how many bridges
will be needed for all the devices without explicit addresses.
Auto-add just enough bridges to put all the devices on, or up to the
bridge with the largest specified index.
<controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/>
is auto-added to pc* machine types.
Without this controller PCI bus 0 is not available and
no PCI addresses are assigned by default.
Since older libvirt supported PCI bus 0 even without
this controller, it is removed from the XML when migrating.
Now we set the default disk driver name when parsing
the qemu command line too, hence all the test changes.
Assume format type is 'auto' when none is specified on
qemu command line.
Instead of making a choice between the underscore and camelCase, this
simply changes "num_queues" into "queues", which is also consistent
with Michal's multiple queue support for interface.
Improve error reporting and generating of SPICE command line arguments

The recent qemu requires "0x" prefix for the disk wwn, this patch
changes virValidateWWN to allow the prefix, and prepend "0x" if
it's not specified. E.g.
qemu-kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,\
drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,wwn=6000c60016ea71ad:
Property 'scsi-hd.wwn' doesn't take value '6000c60016ea71ad'
Though it's a qemu regression, but it's nice to allow the prefix,
and doesn't hurt for us to always output "0x".
To avoid the collision for creating USB controllers in machine->init()
and -device xx command line, it needs to set usb=off to avoid one USB
controller created in machine->init(). So that libvirt can use -device
or -usb to create USB controller sucessfully.
So QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_USB_OPT capability is added, and it is for QEMU
v1.3.0 onwards which supports USB option.

libiscsi provides a userspace iSCSI initiator.
The main advantage over the kernel initiator is that it is very
easy to provide different initiator names for VMs on the same host.
Thus libiscsi supports usage of persistent reservations in the VM,
which otherwise would only be possible with NPIV.
libiscsi uses "iscsi" as the scheme, not "iscsi+tcp". We can change
this in the tests (while remaining backwards-compatible manner, because
QEMU uses TCP as the default transport for both Gluster and NBD).

There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng. It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

Currently the virQEMUDriverPtr struct contains an wide variety
of data with varying access needs. Move all the static config
data into a dedicated virQEMUDriverConfigPtr object. The only
locking requirement is to hold the driver lock, while obtaining
an instance of virQEMUDriverConfigPtr. Once a reference is held
on the config object, it can be used completely lockless since
it is immutable.
NB, not all APIs correctly hold the driver lock while getting
a reference to the config object in this patch. This is safe
for now since the config is never updated on the fly. Later
patches will address this fully.

Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses,
so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for
convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the
host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the
string passed to qemu.
Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets
so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

Like "rawio", "sgio" is only allowed for block disk of device
type "lun".
It doesn't default disk->sgio to "filtered" when parsing, as
it won't be able to distinguish explicitly requested "filtered"
and a default "filtered" in driver then. We have to error out for
explicit request when the kernel doesn't support the new sysfs
knob "unpriv_sgio", however, for defaulted "filtered", we can

QEMU supports setting vendor and product strings for disk since
1.2.0 (only scsi-disk, scsi-hd, scsi-cd support it), this patch
exposes it with new XML elements <vendor> and <product> of disk
device.
Several tests assume that VNC is always available and include it in
their configs and the expected command line. The tests have nothing to
do with graphics display so they shouldn't rely on VNC.
When both kvmclock and kvm_pv_eoi are configured (either disabled or
enabled) libvirt will generate invalid CPU specification due to the
fact that even though kvmclock causes the CPU to be specified, it
doesn't set have_cpu flag to true (and the new kvm_pv_eoi as well).
This patch fixes the issue and adds a test exactly for that to show
that it is fixed correctly (and also to keep it that way in the future
of course).
When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover
the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a
simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This
avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the
startup path.
As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from
the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU
on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line
can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr.

This patch cleans up building the "-boot" parameter and while on that
fixes one inconsistency by modifying these things:
- I completed the unfinished virDomainBootMenu enum by specifying
LAST, declaring it and also declaring the TypeFromString and
TypeToString parameters.
- Previously mentioned TypeFromString and TypeToString are used when
parsing the XML.
- Last, but not least, visible change is that the "-boot" parameter
is built and parsed properly:
- The "order=" prefix is used only when additional parameters are
used (menu, etc.).
- It's rewritten in a way that other parameters can be added
easily in the future (used in following patch).
- The "order=" parameter is properly parsed regardless to where it
is placed in the string (e.g. "menu=on,order=nc").
- The "menu=" parameter (and others in the future) are created
when they should be (i.e. even when bootindex is supported and
used, but not when bootloader is selected).

The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:
within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>
Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements. If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.
Some examples:
<interface type='hostdev'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
<mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>vlan-net</name>
<vlan trunk='yes'>
<tag id='30'/>

<interface type='network'/>
<source network='vlan-net'/>
...

<vlan>
<tag id='666'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
...
</interface>
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)
Until now, all attributes in a <virtualport> parameter list that were
acceptable for a particular type, were also required. There were no
optional attributes.
One of the aims of supporting <virtualport> in libvirt's virtual
networks and portgroups is to allow specifying the group-wide
parameters in the network's virtualport, and merge that with the
interface's virtualport, which will have the instance-specific info
(i.e. the interfaceid or instanceid).
Additionally, the guest's interface XML shouldn't need to know what
type of network connection will be used prior to runtime - it could be
openvswitch, 802.1Qbh, 802.1Qbg, or none of the above - but should
still be able to specify instance-specific info just in case it turns
out to be applicable.
Finally, up to now, the parser for virtualport has always generated a
random instanceid/interfaceid when appropriate, making it impossible
to leave it blank (which is what's required for virtualports within a
network/portprofile definition).
This patch modifies the parser and formatter of the <virtualport>
element in the following ways:
* because most of the attributes in a virNetDevVPortProfile are fixed
size binary data with no reserved values, there is no way to embed a
"this value wasn't specified" sentinel into the existing data. To
solve this problem, the new *_specified fields in the
virNetDevVPortProfile object that were added in a previous patch of
this series are now set when the corresponding attribute is present
during the parse.
* allow parsing/formatting a <virtualport> that has no type set. In
this case, all fields are settable, but all are also optional.
* add a GENERATE_MISSING_DEFAULTS flag to the parser - if this flag is
set and an instanceid/interfaceid is expected but not provided, a
random one will be generated. This was previously the default
behavior, but is now done only for virtualports inside an
<interface> definition, not for those in <network> or <portgroup>.
* add a REQUIRE_ALL_ATTRIBUTES flag to the parser - if this flag is
set the parser will call the new
virNetDevVPortProfileCheckComplete() functions at the end of the
parser to check for any missing attributes (based on type), and
return failure if anything is missing. This used to be default
behavior. Now it is only used for the virtualport defined inside an
interface's <actual> element (by the time you've figured out the
contents of <actual>, you should have all the necessary data to fill
in the entire virtualport)
* add a REQUIRE_TYPE flag to the parser - if this flag is set, the
parser will return an error if the virtualport has no type
attribute. This also was previously the default behavior, but isn't
needed in the case of the virtualport for a type='network' interface
(i.e. the exact type isn't yet known), or the virtualport of a
portgroup (i.e. the portgroup just has modifiers for the network's
virtualport, which *does* require a type) - in those cases, the
check will be done at domain startup, once the final virtualport is
assembled (this is handled in the next patch).
This patch enables the "none" USB controller for qemu guests and adds
valdiation on hot-plugged devices if the guest has USB disabled.
This patch also adds a set of tests to check parsing of domain XMLs that
use the "none" controller and some forbidden situations concerning it.
Add minimal s390-virtio domain testcase and testcases for virtio serial,
net, disk for the virtio-s390 bus.

Commit 5e6ce1 moved down detection of the ACPI feature in
qemuParseCommandLine. However, when ACPI is detected, it clears
all feature flags in def->features to only set ACPI. This used to
be fine because this was the first place were def->features was set,
but after the move this is no longer necessarily true because this
block comes before the ACPI check:
if (strstr(def->emulator, "kvm")) {
def->virtType = VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_KVM;
def->features |= (1 << VIR_DOMAIN_FEATURE_PAE);
}
Since def is allocated in qemuParseCommandLine using VIR_ALLOC, we
can always use |= when modifying def->features
I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.
It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0
The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".
If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.
I have already filled a bug report (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ), the topic was
already on the list some months ago:

Currently, monitoring QEMU virtual machines with standard Unix
sysadmin tools is harder than it has to be. The QEMU command line is
often miles long and mostly redundant, it's hard to tell which process
is which.
This patch reorders the QEMU -name argument to be the first, so it's
immediately visible in "ps x", htop and "atop -c" output.
The uhci1, uhci2, uhci3 companion controllers for ehci1 must
have a master start port set. Since this value is predictable
we should set it automatically if the app does not supply it
Currently each USB2 companion controller gets put on a separate
PCI slot. Not only is this wasteful of PCI slots, but it is not
in compliance with the spec for USB2 controllers. The master
echi1 and all companion controllers should be in the same slot,
with echi1 in function 7, and uhci1-3 in functions 0-2 respectively.
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c: Special case handling of USB2 controllers
to apply correct pci slot assignment
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-usb-ich9-ehci-addr.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-usb-ich9-ehci-addr.xml: Expand
test to cover automatic slot assignment
For pseries guest, the default controller model is
ibmvscsi controller, this controller only can work
on spapr-vio address.
This patch is to assign spapr-vio address type to
ibmvscsi controller and correct vscsi test case.

<vcpu> is not an optional node. The value for its 'placement'
actually always defaults to 'static' in the underlying codes.
(Even no 'cpuset' and 'placement' is specified, the domain
process will be pinned to all the available pCPUs).
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'.
qemu's behavior in this case is to change the spice server behavior to
require secure connection to any channel not otherwise specified as
being in plaintext mode. libvirt doesn't currently allow requesting this
(via plaintext-channel=<channel name>).
