0f1a0fff0e apibuild: Disallow 'returns' return description
Our documentation generator is a bit messy, to say the least. For
instance, the description to return values of a function is
searched within C comment. Currently, all lines that start with
'returns' or 'Returns' are viewed as return value description.
However, there are some valid uses where the 'returns' word is in
the middle of a sentence describing function behavior not the
return value. And there are no places where 'returns' is used to
describe return values.  For instance:
virDomainDetachDeviceFlags, virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny and
virDomainGetDiskErrors. This leads to HTML documemtation being
generated incorrectly.

4fddfeefaf docs: mention vagrant-libvirt in apps.html
Doc patch for apps.html as per: http://libvirt.org/apps.html#add

Disclaimer: I've contributed patches to the project that this commit
adds.

Vagrant-Libvirt is an excellent way to use vagrant with libvirt. This
way you can benefit from the vagrant features, while not loosing access
to the familiar (and useful) tools such as virsh and virt-manager.

Development currently at:

https://github.com/pradels/vagrant-libvirt/

although recent contributors include:

a2e369bc00 conf: Output disk backing store details in domain XML
The XML for quite a longish backing chain is shown below:

  <disk type='network' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
    <source protocol='nbd' name='bar'>
      <host transport='unix' socket='/var/run/nbdsock'/>
    </source>
    <backingStore type='block' index='1'>
      <format type='qcow2'/>
      <source dev='/dev/HostVG/QEMUGuest1'/>
      <backingStore type='file' index='2'>
        <format type='qcow2'/>
        <source file='/tmp/image2.qcow'/>
        <backingStore type='file' index='3'>
          <format type='qcow2'/>
          <source file='/tmp/image3.qcow'/>
          <backingStore type='file' index='4'>
            <format type='qcow2'/>
            <source file='/tmp/image4.qcow'/>
            <backingStore type='file' index='5'>
              <format type='qcow2'/>
              <source file='/tmp/image5.qcow'/>
              <backingStore type='file' index='6'>
                <format type='raw'/>
                <source file='/tmp/Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso'/>
                <backingStore/>
              </backingStore>
            </backingStore>
          </backingStore>
        </backingStore>
      </backingStore>
    </backingStore>
    <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

Various disk types and formats can be mixed in one chain. The
<backingStore/> empty element marks the end of the backing chain and it
is there mostly for future support of parsing the chain provided by a
user. If it's missing, we are supposed to probe for the rest of the
chain ourselves, otherwise complete chain was provided by the user. The
index attributes of backingStore elements can be used to unambiguously
identify a specific part of the image chain.

8fb446754d conf: fix omission of <driver> in domain dumpxml
I noticed that depending on the <driver> attributes the user passed
in, the output may omit the <driver> element altogether.  For example,
the rerror_policy has had this problem since commit 4bb4109 in Oct
2011.  But in adding testsuite coverage to expose it, I found another
problem: the C code is just fine without a driver name, but the

369cdfa8f5 conf: set up for per-grammar overrides in schemas
This patch is my first experience playing with nested grammars,
as documented in http://relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html#IDA3PZR.
I plan on doing more overrides in order to make the RelaxNG
grammar mirror the C code refactoring into a common
virStorageSource, but where different clients of that source do
not support the same subset of functionality.  By starting with
something fairly easy to validate, I can make sure my later
patches will be possible.

This patch adds a use of the no-op <ref
name='sourceStartupPolicy'/> to the disksnapshot definition, so
that the snapshot version of a type='file' <source> more closely
resembles the version in domaincommon.  A future patch will merge
the two files into using a common define, but this patch is
sufficient for testing that adding <source
startupPolicy='optional'/> in any of the
tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlin/*.xml files still gets rejected
unless it occurs within the <domain> subelement, because the
definition of startupPolicy is empty outside of domain.rng.

* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng (storageStartupPolicy)
(storageSourceExtra): Create no-op defaults.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng (domain): Use nested grammar
to avoid restricting <domain>.

db7d7c0ee8 conf: restrict external snapshots to backing store formats
Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into
a storage format that permits a backing chain, since the new
snapshot file necessarily must be backed by the existing file.
The C code for the qemu driver is a little bit stricter in
currently enforcing only qcow2 or qed, but at the XML parser
level, including virt-xml-validate, it is fairly easy to
enforce that a user can't request a 'raw' external snapshot.

(storageFormatBacking): ...new sublist.

type.

4f596a070d conf: move storage formats to common RNG file
We had incomplete RelaxNG support for storage formats listed
in virstoragefile.h: commit 027bf2e added 'vdi' but forgot
to update the <volume> and <domain> xml lists; the <volume>
list was also missing 'fat' and 'vhd'.  Maintaining two lists
is a recipe for them getting out of sync, so make the list
common so that both contexts benefit the next time we add a
format in a single location.

* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng: ...here, and add vdi.

a9efe2d70c conf: better <disk> interleaving in schema
In general, we try to make virt-xml-validate tolerant of input
elements in any order when possible.  However, as written, the
RNG grammar did not permit <source> unless there was an explicit
type= attribute (even though the C code manages just fine by
defaulting to type='file').  After making the attribute optional
on the 'file' branch, I noticed that the use of diskspec was now
redundant with the branch when no <source> was supplied.

View this patch with 'git diff -b' for a better picture of the
schema change.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (disk): Hoist 'diskspec' out of
choice, make type='file' default, and still preserve interleave.

0f6c50b9b6 gluster: Fix "key" attribute for gluster volumes
According to our documentation the "key" value has the following
meaning: "Providing an identifier for the volume which identifies a
single volume." The currently used keys for gluster volumes consist of
the gluster volume name and file path. This can't be considered unique
as a different storage server can serve a volume with the same name.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out a way to retrieve the gluster
volume UUID which would avoid the possibility of having two distinct
keys identifying a single volume.

Use the full URI as the key for the volume to avoid the more critical
ambiguity problem and document the possible change to UUID.

85a3eb8a6d qemu: export disk snapshot support in capabilities
This patch adds an element to QEMU's capability XML, to
show if the underlying QEMU binary supports the live disk
snapshotting or not.
This allows any client to know ahead of time if the feature
is available.

Without this information available, the only way to check
for the snapshot support is to request one and check for

c0c8c1d7bb Remove global log buffer feature entirely
A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.

The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

b9dd878ff8 util: make it easier to grab only regular command exit
Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations.  Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit.  Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big.  And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.

So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

7eb37a0d65 bandwidth: Adjust documentation
Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').

The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.

Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.

This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.

590029f672 Introduce new OOM testing support
The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is  (n * (n + 1) ) / 2.  This gets very large, very
quickly.

This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.

The simple usage is

   $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
   ...
   29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc                                         ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france                                      ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
   ...

the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.

If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
  30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK

bc18373391 conf: Add keyboard input device type
There is no keyboard support currently in libvirt.

For some platforms (PPC64 QEMU) this makes graphics unusable,
since the keyboard is not implicit and it can't be added via libvirt.
