After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

When reboot using qemu guest agent was requested, qemu driver kept
waiting for SHUTDOWN event from qemu. However, such event is never
emitted during guest reboot and qemu driver would keep waiting forever.
The viratomictest.c was casting from an int to a void* via a
long. This works on Linux or Mingw32, but fails on Mingw64
due to a pointer/integer size mis-match. Replacing 'long'
with 'intptr_t' ensures matching type sizes
This patch adds support for running qemu guests with the required
parameters to forcefully enable or disable BIOS advertising of S3 and
S4 states. The support for this is added to capabilities and there is
also a qemu command parameter parsing implemented.
There is a new <pm/> element implemented that can control what ACPI
sleeping states will be advertised by BIOS and allowed to be switched
to by libvirt. The default keeps defaults on hypervisor, otherwise
forces chosen setting.
The documentation of the pm element is added as well.

This can be useful for platforms with 'non-standard' disk formats

Without this patch, logged command executions can be ambiguous if
the command contained any shell metacharacters. This has caused
more than one person to attempt to patch clients to add unnecessary
quoting, without realizing that the command itself was run with
correct args, and only the logged output was ambiguous.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandToString): Add shell escapes.
* tests/commandtest.c (test16): Test new behavior.
* tests/commanddata/test16.log: Update expected output.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-*.args: Likewise.
* tests/networkxml2argvdata/*.argv: Likewise.
Now that vshCommandRun() checks for the connection automaticaly, remove
all of the redundant checks in the code.
vshConnectionUsability() no longer needs to be exported and this patch
marks it static.
Almost each virsh command uses the function vshConnectionUsability
before doing anything, to check if the connection is "alive". Commands
that don't need an conection are already conveniently marked with
VSH_CMD_FLAG_NOCONNECT. We can automaticaly check for the connection
before calling any remote command so we don't forget to do so.
This patch also upgrades the connection check to use virConnectIsAlive
along with the current approach.
After fixing the last review comments on remote port searching (commit
a14b4aea51), the commit right after that
wasn't modified accordingly, therefore two values weren't changed as
they should and the configurable ports don't work as expected.
This simple commit changes last two values missed and fixes the issue.
The codes were updated to allow to reset the device as long as
there is no devices/functions behind the same bus. However, the
comments were kept without touched.
To avoid backward compatibility issues, this patch suppresses
auto-generated DAC labels from XML. This change affects commands such as
dumpxml and save.

With this patch libvirt tries to assign a model to a single seclabel
when model is missing. Libvirt will look up at host's capabilities and
assign the first model to seclabel.
This patch fixes:
1. The problem with existing guests that have a seclabel defined in its XML.
2. A XML parse error when a guest is restored.

When domain XML contains any of the elements for setting up CPU
scheduling parameters (period, quota, emulator_period, or
emulator_quota) we need cpu cgroup to enforce the configuration.
However, the existing code would just ignore silently such settings if
either cgroups were not available at all cpu cgroup was not available.
Moreover, APIs for manipulating CPU scheduler parameters were already
failing if cpu cgroup was not available. This patch makes cpu cgroup
mandatory for all domains that use CPU scheduling elements in their XML.
The variable max_id is initialized again in the step of
getting cpu mapping variable map2. But in the next for loop
we still expect original value of max_id, the bug will

On NUMA machine, the length of string got from file
cpuacct.usage_percpu is quite large, so expand the

Some DHCP servers send their DHCP replies to the broadcast MAC address
rather than to the MAC address of the VM. The existing DHCP snooping
code assumes that the reply always goes to the MAC address of the VM
thus filtering the traffic of some DHCP servers' replies.
The below patch adapts the code to
1) filter DHCP replies by comparing the MAC address in the reply against
the MAC address of the VM (held in the snoop request)
2) adapts the pcap filter for traffic towards the VM to accept DHCP replies
sent to any MAC address; for further filtering we rely on 1)
3) creates initial rules that are active while waiting for DHCP replies;
these rules now accept DHCP replies to the VM's MAC address or to the
MAC broadcast address
The introduction of the new VLAN code, along with the fix
from 5e465df6be, caused the
addition of OVS ports to fail with the following message:
ovs-vsctl: 00002|vsctl|ERR|: missing column name
This fix takes into account the VLAN arguments are optional,
and correctly sets up the command line to run the "ovs-vsctl"
command to add ports to the OVS bridge.

Recent work to improve support for loadable driver modules introduced
a regression in the xen driver. The legacy xen driver is now a
stateful, libvirtd driver but was not being registered when building
without driver modules.
A slight behavior change was also noted in the xen drivers when
built as driver modules. Previously, explicitly specifying a
connection URI was not necessary, but now
Compiled against library: libvirt 0.10.0
Using library: libvirt 0.10.0
Using API: QEMU 0.10.0
error: failed to get the hypervisor version
error: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64
The xen drivers need to be registered before the qemu driver since
the qemu driver will return success with a null connection URI.
This ordering is safe since the xen drivers will decline when not
running the xen kernel.
If a 8021.Qbh network device supports SRIOV and its VF is being used
in pci passthrough mode, when the guest is shutdown or destroyed, the
PF inteface is also brought down. qemuDomainHostdevNetConfigRestore()
finds out the PF for provided hostdev (which is VF) and passes it to
virNetDevPortProfileDisassociate() as linkdev. Later, linkdev gets passed
to virNetDevSetOnline() where the interface is brought down by clearing
IFF_UP flag.
Bringing down a PF, when only VF is being brought down is not expected
behavior. This patch adds a check so that virNetDevSetOnline() is called
only for PF and not if device is a VF.

The loop processing the trusted DHCP server generated one too
many rules and added one final rules that accepted responses
from all DHCP servers. Below patch fixes this.
virDomainVcpuPinAdd does a realloc on vcpupin_list if the new vcpu pin
definition doesn't fit into the array. The list is an array of pointers
but the function definition didn't support returning the changed pointer
to the caller if it was realloced. This caused segfaults if realloc
would change the base pointer.
virDomainVcpuPinDefCopy when the control flow reaches out of memory
cleanup code, the flow would end in a infinite loop as the loop variable
wasn't decremented.
Also a dereference of NULL pointers was possible if allocation of the
Vcpu pinning definiton structure failed.
Commit d0c0e79ac6 left behind some dead
code (hasDAC can't be efectively set to true, because
virSecurityManagerNew fails to load the "dac" driver).
This patch also enhances the condition for adding the default
auto-detected security manager if the manager array is allocated but
empty.
Also the configuration file for qemu driver still contains reference to
the DAC driver that can't be enabled manualy.
Before commit 05447e3af4, qemuAgentCommand
blocked until it got a reply or appropriate event. When new parameter
was added to qemuAgentCommand in the above commit, all existing callers
of it were updated in a wrong way changing them from blocking to
5-seconds timeout.
This bug was revealed by the crash described in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852383
The vlan info pointer sent to virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort should never
be non-NULL unless there is at least one tag. The factthat such a vlan
info pointer was receveid pointed out that a caller was passing the
wrong pointer. Instead of sending &net->vlan, the result of
virDomainNetGetActualVlan(net) should be sent - that function will
look for vlan info in net->data.network.actual->vlan, and in cany case
return NULL instead of a pointer if the vlan info it finds has no
tags.
Aside from causing the crash, sending a hardcoded &net->vlan has the
effect of ignoring vlan info from a <network> or <portgroup> config.
Fixup buffer usage when handling VLANs. Also fix the logic
used to determine if the virNetDevVlanPtr is valid or not.
Fixes crashes in the latest code when using Open vSwitch
virtualports.

If no 'security_driver' config option was set, then the code
just loaded the 'dac' security driver. This is a regression
on previous behaviour, where we would probe for a possible
security driver. ie default to SELinux if available.
This changes things so that it 'security_driver' is not set,
we once again do probing. For simplicity we also always
create the stack driver, even if there is only one driver
active.
The desired semantics are:
- security_driver not set
-> probe for selinux/apparmour/nop
-> auto-add DAC driver
- security_driver set to a string
-> add that one driver
-> auto-add DAC driver
- security_driver set to a list
-> add all drivers in list
-> auto-add DAC driver
It is not allowed, or possible to specify 'dac' in the
security_driver config param, since that is always
enabled.

The security driver loading code in qemu has a flaw that causes it to
register the DAC security driver twice. This causes problems (machines
unable to start) as the two DAC drivers clash together.
This patch refactors the code to allow loading the DAC driver even if
its specified in configuration (it can't be registered as a common
security driver), and does not add the driver twice.
This reverts commit 9f9b7b85c9.
The DAC security driver needs special handling and extra parameters and
can't just be added to regular security drivers.
If cgroups are enabled in general but cpu cgroup is disabled in
qemu.conf or not mounted at all, libvirt would refuse to start any
domain even though scheduler parameters are not set in domain XML.
This patch makes cpu cgroup mandatory only for domains that actually
want to use it.
