e937929c16 wireshark: drop gmodule.h include to avoid glib warnings
The wireshark address.h header uses 'g_memdup2' but this triggers

It is unclear why clang warns, but gcc does not. Our plugin doesn't
actually use the inline helper in address.h that references g_memdup2,
but we get the warning regardless.

Interestingly removing the 'gmodule.h' include avoids the warning. Since
there is nothing in plugin.c that appears to need gmodule.h, removing it
should be safe & done regardless.

c891f17c2b tests: stop stubbing libselinux APIs for purpose of data overrides
We currently create stub 'setcon', 'setcon_raw' and 'security_disable'
APIs in the securityselinuxhelper.c mock, which set env variables to
control how other mock'd libselinux APIs respond.  These stubs merely
set some env variables, and we have no need to call these stubs from
the library code, only test code.

The 'security_disable' API is now deprecated in libselinux, so we
stubbing it generates compiler warnings. Rather than workaround that,
just stop stubbing these APIs and set the required env variables
directly. With this change, we now only mock API calls we actually
use from the library code.

f2710260d4 qemu_namespace: Only replicate labels on created files
Function qemuNamespaceMknodOne() is trying to replicate a file from the
parent namespace as perfectly as possible, with the same permissions,
labels, ACLs, etc.

If that file already existed it means that the qemu process is probably
using it already and the current setting is probably more correct than
the ones from the parent namespace.

In order to reflect that only replicate the file metadata when it was
(re-)created in this function.

blocks are *not* transferred to the destination. This means that users
must provide pre-cleared images that read all zero, otherwise the
non-zero blocks on destination which reside in places where the source
has zero blocks would be kept intact corrupting the image.

As not transferring and overwriting the zero blocks is what the feature
is supposed to do the users need to provide the proper environment.

Document the requirement, both in API and in the virsh man page for the

04d6a0ec5d qemu: migration: Fix blockdev config with VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_MIGRATE_DISKS_DETECT_ZEROES
The idea of migration with VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_MIGRATE_DISKS_DETECT_ZEROES
populated is to sparsify the image. The QEMU NBD client as it was
configured in commit 621f879adf would
signal to the destination to do thick allocation of holes which would
result in a non-sparse image for any backend except a qcow2 image which
I used to test it.

Switch to VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DETECT_ZEROES_UNMAP and
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DISCARD_UNMAP which tells the NBD client (and that in
turn the NBD server) to preserve the sparse blocks it detected from the
image.

With watchdog action=dump the actual watchdog action is set to pause and
the daemon then proceeds to dump the process.  After that the domain is
resumed.  That was the case since the feature was added.  However the
resuming of the domain might be unexpected, especially when compared to
HW watchdog, which will never run the guest from the point where it got
interrupted.

Document the pre-existing behaviour, since any change might be
unexpected as well.  Change of behaviour would require new options like
dump+reset, dump+pause, etc.  That option is still possible, but
orthogonal to this change.

37800af9a4 network: inhibit idle timeout of daemon if there are any active networks
When the daemons were split out from the monolithic libvirtd, the
network driver didn't implement "inhibit idle timeout if there are any
active objects" as was done for other drivers, so virtnetworkd would
always exit after 120 seconds of no incoming connections. This didn't
every cause any visible problem, although it did mean that anytime a
network API was called after an idle time > 120 seconds, that the
restarting virtnetworkd would flush and reload all the
iptables/nftables rules for any active networks.

This patch replicates what is done in the QEMU driver - an nactive is
added to the network driver object, along with an inhibitCallback; the
latter is passed into networkStateInitialize when the driver is
loaded, and the former is incremented for each already-active network,
then incremented/decremented each time a network is started or
stopped. If nactive transitions from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, inhibitCallback
is called, and it "does the right stuff" to prevent/enable the idle
timeout.

cb4e38d4b1 network: a different way of supporting firewalld zone for mode='open' networks
Now that networkAddFirewallRules and networkRemoveFirewallRules() are
being called for mode='open' networks, we just need to move the code
that sets the zone outside of the if (mode != ...OPEN) clause, so that
it's done for all forward modes, with the exception of setting the
implied 'libvirt*' zones, which are set when no zone is specified for
all forward modes *except* 'open'.

This was previously done in commit v10.7.0-76-g1a72b83d56, but in a
manner that caused the zone to be unset whenever firewalld reloaded
its rules. That patch was reverted, and this new better patch takes
its place.

d552d810b9 network: call network(Add|Remove)FirewallRules() for forward mode='open'
Previously networkAddFirewallRules() and networkRemoveFirewallRules()
were only called if the forward mode was none, 'route', or 'nat', so
those functions didn't check the forward mode. Although their current
contents shouldn't be executed for forward mode='open', soon they will
have extra functionality that should be executed for all the current
forward modes and also mode='open'.

This patch modifies all places either of the functions are called to
make sure they are called for mode='open' in addition to current modes
(by either adding 'case ..._OPEN:' to the case of a switch statement,
or just removing an 'if (mode != ...OPEN)' around the calls; to
balance out for that, it puts the entirety of the contents of both
functions inside if (mode != ...OPEN) to retain current behavior. (an
upcoming patch will add code outside that if clause).

debug log messages were also added to make it easier to test that the
right thing is being done in all cases.

ef760a4133 Revert "network: support setting firewalld zone for bridge device of open networks"
This reverts commit 1a72b83d56. That
patch had made the incorrect assumption that the firewalld zone of a
bridge would not be changed/removed when firewalld reloaded its rules
(e.g. with "killall -HUP firewalld"). It turns out my memory was
faulty, and this *does* remove the bridge interface's zone, which
results in guest networking failure after a firewalld reload, until
the virtual network is restarted.

The functionality reverted as a result of this patch reversion will be
added back in an upcoming patch that keeps the zone setting in
networkAddFirewallRules() (rather than moving it into a separate
function) so that it is called every time the network's firewall rules
are reloaded (including the reload that happens in response to a
reload notification from firewalld).

be construded to imply the setting is only used to control compression
of the image. Improve the documentation to clarify that format describes
the representation of guest memory blocks on disk, which includes
compression among other possible layouts.

Enforce that relative links are used within the page, so that local
installations don't require internet conection and/or don't redirect to
the web needlessly.

This is done by looking for any local link (barring exceptions) when
checking links with 'check-html-references.py'.

Now that most things were migrated out of the old server which hosted
the 'libvirt.org' web (now handles only 'https://download.libvirt.org')
which no longer even hosts the cgit web interface (any link redirects to
gitlab) the whole section now is obsolete. Remove it.

5c1ba38913 docs: Use relative links within the web page
Replace full/external links which point to content within

fully locally.

This does not change the links in 'docs/manpages' as we want the
installed man page to work from everywhere (even when the local docs are
not installed) and the generated API docs which take links from the C

The documentation about remote access to libvirt was pointing to a blog

The blog/host is now unfortunately defunct thus the link is dead.

Replace the link by the official man page of the 'ssh-agent' program.

This convenietnly removes the last non-'https' link on our web.

aa08a30048 qemu: snapshot: Allow internal snapshots with PFLASH nvram
With the new snapshot QMP command we can select which block device
backend receives the VM state and thus the main issue with internal
snapshots with pflash was addressed.

Thus we can relax the check and allow snapshots if the pflash nvram is
on qcow2.

8be8b7de78 qemuSnapshotActiveInternalDeleteGetDevices: Add warning when deleting inconsistent snapshot
As explained in the commit which added the new internal snapshot
deletion code we don't want to do any form of strict checking whether
the libvirt metadata is consistent with the on-disk state as we didn't
historically do that.

In order to be able to spot the cases add a warning into the logs if
such state is encountered. While warnings are easy to miss it's the only
reasonable way to do that. Users will be encouraged to file an issue
with the information, without requiring them to enable debug logs as
the reproduction of that issue may include very old historical state.

The checker is deliberately added separately so that it can be easily
reverted once it's no longer needed.

eac1a86f72 qemu snapshot: use QMP snapshot-delete for internal snapshots deletion
Switch to using the modern QMP command.

As the user visible logic when deleting internal snapshots using the old
'delvm' command was very lax in terms of catching inconsistencies
between the snapshot metadata and on-disk state we re-implement this
behaviour even using the new command. We could improve the validation
but that'd go at the cost of possible failures which users might not
expect.

As 'delvm' was simply ignoring any kind of failure the selection of
devices to delete the snapshot from is based on querying qemu first
which top level images do have the internal snapshot and then continuing
only on those.

b93af62c40 qemu snapshot: use QMP snapshot-save for internal snapshots creation
The usage of HMP commands are highly discouraged by qemu. Moreover,
current snapshot creation routine does not provide flexibility in
choosing target device for VM state snapshot.

This patch makes use of QMP commands snapshot-save and by
default chooses first writable non-shared qcow2 disk (if present)
as target for VM state.
