The log lists things like -smbios type=1,vendor="Red Hat", which
is great for shell parsing, but not so great when you realize that
execve() then passes those literal "" on as part of the command
line argument, such that qemu sets SMBIOS with extra literal quotes.
The eventual addition of virCommand is needed before we have the API
to shell-quote a string representation of a command line, so that the
log can still be pasted into a shell, but without inserting extra
bytes into the execve() arguments.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosBiosStr)
(qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Qemu doesn't like quotes around uuid
arguments, and the remaining quotes are passed literally to
smbios, making <smbios mode='host'/> inaccurate. Removing the
quotes makes the log harder to parse, but that can be fixed later
with virCommand improvements.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smbios.args: 'Fix' test; it
will need fixing again once virCommand learns how to shell-quote a
potential command line.
Humans consider January as month #1, while gmtime_r(3) calls it month #0.
While fixing it, render qemu's rtc parameter with leading zeros, as is more
commonplace.

When libvirt-guests is being stopped, I get the following message:

"virCommandRun": if "cmd->outbuf" or "cmd->errbuf" is NULL,
libvirtd will be crashed when trying to start a qemu domain
(which invokes "virCommandRun"), it caused by we try to use
"*cmd->outbuf" and "*cmd->errbuf" regardless of cmd->outbuf
or cmd->errbuf is NULL.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun)
Two more calls to remote libvirtd have to be surrounded by
qemuDomainObjEnterRemoteWithDriver() and
qemuDomainObjExitRemoteWithDriver() to prevent possible deadlock between
two communicating libvirt daemons.
See commit f0c8e1cb37 for further details.
virDrvSupportsFeature API is allowed to return -1 on error while all but
one uses of VIR_DRV_SUPPORTS_FEATURE only check for (non)zero return
value. Let's make this macro return zero on error, which is what
everyone expects anyway.
Remove the optional option "group", as cmdHelp should accepts
only one option ("virsh help" supports both command and command
group now, and user rarely uses the options, so it doesn't matter
much for it being longer, :-)
* tools/virsh.c
This patch adds a mode_t parameter to virFileWriteStr().
If mode is different from 0, virFileWriteStr() will try
to create the file if it doesn't exist.

This proof of concept shows how two existing uses of virExec
and virRun can be ported to the new virCommand APIs, and how
much simpler the code becomes
This introduces a new set of APIs in src/util/command.h
to use for invoking commands. This is intended to replace
all current usage of virRun and virExec variants, with a
more flexible and less error prone API.
* src/util/command.c: New file.
* src/util/command.h: New header.
* src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Build it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export symbols internally.
* tests/commandtest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (check_PROGRAMS): Run it.

This patch allows for using custom scripts instead of /usr/bin/qemu
emulator in domain XML. To do so, one would specify relative path to the
custom script in <emulator/>. The path needs to be relative to
qemuxml2argvdata directory and it will be transparently made absolute in
runtime. The expected command line needs to contain the exact relative
path as was used in domain XML.
The problem is RelaxNG schema for domain XML only allows for absolute
path within <emulator/>. To workaround it, an extra '/' must be added at
the beginning of the path. That is, instead of "./qemu.sh" or
"../emulator/qemu.sh" one would use "/./qemu.sh" or
"/../emulator/qemu.sh". The extra slash is removed before further
processing. I don't like this workaround, it's very ugly but it's the
best option I was able to come up with. Relaxing domain XML schema is
not an option IMO.
* tools/virsh.c (virsh shouldn't use 'phy' as the disk driver if
user doesn't specify "--driver", it causes bugs, as not all of
hypervisor driver supports 'phy', and actually hypervisor should
known the correct default disk driver and subdriver, so remove it)
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (though MACROS QEMU_VNC_PORT_MAX, and
QEMU_VNC_PORT_MIN are defined at the beginning, numbers (65535, 5900)
are still used, replace them)
The arguments passed to the thread function must be allocated on
the heap, rather than the stack, since it is possible for the
spawning thread to continue before the new thread runs at all.
In such a case, it is possible that the area of stack where the
thread args were stored is overwritten.
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-win32.c: Allocate
thread arguments on the heap
As virsh help supports both command and command group now,
update "cmdHelp" to print consite help, (this patch is
increment of "7829052757953023b0826e0293ffe18ed4ab89e9").
And also remove redundant empty line in "vshUsage".
* tools/virsh.c
Use macvtap specific functions depending on WITH_MACVTAP.
Use #if instead of #ifdef to check for WITH_MACVTAP, because
WITH_MACVTAP is always defined with value 0 or 1.
Also export virVMOperationType{To|From}String unconditional,
because they are used unconditional in the domain config code.
The output was previously:
-c | --connect <uri> hypervisor connection URI
-r | --readonly connect readonly
-d | --debug <num> debug level [0-5]
-h | --help this help
-q | --quiet quiet mode
-t | --timing print timing information
-l | --log <file> output logging to file
-v | --version[=short] program version
-V | --version=long version and full options
(note the blank line between the --version types)
This patch removes the extra blank line.
When dumping a domain, it's reasonable to save dump-file in raw format
if dump format is misconfigured or the corresponding compress program
is not available rather then fail dumping.
Change the virsh help out. The new output of "virsh help" and
"virsh --help" will be like:
Secret (help keyword 'secret'):
secret-define define or modify a secret from an XML file
secret-dumpxml secret attributes in XML
secret-set-value set a secret value
secret-get-value Output a secret value
secret-undefine undefine a secret
secret-list list secrets
Snapshot (help keyword 'snapshot'):
snapshot-create Create a snapshot
snapshot-current Get the current snapshot
snapshot-delete Delete a domain snapshot
snapshot-dumpxml Dump XML for a domain snapshot
snapshot-list List snapshots for a domain
snapshot-revert Revert a domain to a snapshot
Also support output help information of specified command group, e.g.
% ./tools/virsh help "Network Filter"
Network Filter (help keyword 'filter'):
nwfilter-define define or update a network filter from an XML file
nwfilter-undefine undefine a network filter
nwfilter-dumpxml network filter information in XML
nwfilter-list list network filters
nwfilter-edit edit XML configuration for a network filter
Each group has a help keyword, e.g.
% ./tools/virsh help filter
Network Filter (help keyword 'filter'):
nwfilter-define define or update a network filter from an XML file
nwfilter-undefine undefine a network filter
nwfilter-dumpxml network filter information in XML
nwfilter-list list network filters
nwfilter-edit edit XML configuration for a network filter
* tools/virsh.c:
- introduce new struct "vshCmdGrp" and macros to define the groups.
- split previous array "commands" into small arrays which are orgnized
by group
- changed some functions, e.g. "vshCmdDefSearch"
- Added new functions, e.g. "vshCmdGrpSearch"
- commands of each group are in "alphabetical order" now.
- command groups are in "alphabetical order" now.
- the commands are categorized with reference of

- the modifications doesn't affect tests

This patch introduces the usage of the pre-associate state of the IEEE 802.1Qbg standard on incoming VM migration on the target host. It is in response to bugzilla entry 632750.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632750
For being able to differentiate the exact reason as to why a macvtap device is being created, either due to a VM creation or an incoming VM migration, I needed to pass that reason as a parameter from wherever qemudStartVMDaemon is being called in order to determine whether to send an ASSOCIATE (VM creation) or a PRE-ASSOCIATE (incoming VM migration) towards lldpad.
I am also fixing a problem with the virsh domainxml-to-native call on the way.
Gerhard successfully tested the patch with a recent blade network 802.1Qbg-compliant switch.
The patch should not have any side-effects on the 802.1Qbh support in libvirt, but Roopa (cc'ed) may want to verify this.
