If qemuPrepareHostdevUSBDevices fail it will roll back devices added
to the driver list of used devices. However, if it may fail because
the device is being used already. But then again - with roll back.
Therefore don't try to remove a usb device manually if the function
fail. Although, we want to remove the device if any operation
performed afterwards fail.
One of our latest USB device handling patches
05abd1507d66aabb6cad12eeafeb4c4d1911c585 introduced a regression.
That is, we first create a temporary list of all USB devices that
are to be used by domain just starting up. Then we iterate over and
check if a device from the list is in the global list of currently
assigned devices (activeUsbHostdevs). If not, we add it there and
continue with next iteration then. But if a device from temporary
list is either taken already or adding to the activeUsbHostdevs fails,
we remove all devices in temp list from the activeUsbHostdevs list.
Therefore, if a device is already taken we remove it from
activeUsbHostdevs even if we should not. Thus, next time we allow
the device to be assigned to another domain.
To allow the security drivers to apply different configuration
information per hypervisor, pass the virtualization driver name

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,

Like for 'static' placement, when the memory policy mode is

returned from numad to cgroup file cpuset.mems,
On some of the NUMA platforms, the CPU index in each NUMA node
grows non-consecutive. While on other platforms, it can be inconsecutive,
E.g.

This patch is to fix the problem by using the CPU index in

This patch lifts the limit of calling thread detection code only on KVM
guests. With upstream qemu the thread mappings are reported also on
non-KVM machines.
QEMU adopted the thread_id information from the kvm branch.
To remain compatible with older upstream versions of qemu the check is
attempted but the failure to detect threads (or even run the monitor
command - on older versions without SMP support) is treated non-fatal
and the code reports one vCPU with pid of the hypervisor (in same
fashion this was done on non-KVM guests).
After a cpu hotplug the qemu driver did not refresh information about
virtual processors used by qemu and their corresponding threads. This
patch forces a re-detection as is done on start of QEMU.
This ensures that correct information is reported by the
virDomainGetVcpus API and "virsh vcpuinfo".
A failure to obtain the thread<->vcpu mapping is treated non-fatal and
the mapping is not updated in a case of failure as not all versions of
QEMU report this in the info cpus command.
This patch changes a switch statement into ifs when handling live vs.
configuration modifications getting rid of redundant code in case when

commit 05abd1507d66aabb6cad12eeafeb4c4d1911c585 introduces the bug.
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'.

When we added the default USB controller into domain XML, we efficiently
broke migration to older versions of libvirt that didn't support USB
controllers at all (0.9.4 and earlier) even for domains that don't use
anything that the older libvirt can't provide. We still want to present
the default USB controller in any XML seen by a user/app but we can
safely remove it from the domain XML used during migration. If we are
migrating to a new enough libvirt, it will add the controller XML back,
while older libvirt won't be confused with it although it will still
tell qemu to create the controller.
Similar approach can be used in the future whenever we find out we
always enabled some kind of device without properly advertising it in
domain XML.
Commit 4c82f09e added a capability check for qemu per-device io
throttling, but only applied it to domain startup. As mentioned
in the previous commit (98cec05), the user can still get an 'internal

doesn't exist. It is confusing to allow tuning on inactive domains
only to then be rejected when starting the domain.

fails as expected (well, the error message is lousy), but the next

if you save the domain then restore it, the restore will likely fail
due to throttling being unsupported, even though no throttling should
even be active because the monitor command failed in the first place.

When libvirtd is started, we create "libvirt/qemu" directories under
hugetlbfs mount point. Only the "qemu" subdirectory is chowned to qemu

when libvirtd started, qemu user may lose access to "qemu"
subdirectory. Let's explicitly grant search permissions to "libvirt"

Currently, qemu GA is not providing 'desc' field for errors like
we are used to from qemu monitor. Therefore, we fall back to this
general 'unknown error' string. However, GA is reporting 'class' which
is not perfect, but much more helpful than generic error string.
Thus we should fall back to class firstly and if even no class
is presented, then we can fall back to that generic string.

With RHEL 6.2, virDomainBlockPull(dom, dev, bandwidth, 0) has a race
with non-zero bandwidth: there is a window between the block_stream
and block_job_set_speed monitor commands where an unlimited amount
of data was let through, defeating the point of a throttle.
This race was first identified in commit a9d3495e, and libvirt was
able to reduce the size of the window for that race. In the meantime,
the qemu developers decided to fix things properly; per this message:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-04/msg03793.html
the fix will be in qemu 1.1, and changes block-job-set-speed to use
a different parameter name, as well as adding a new optional parameter
to block-stream, which eliminates the race altogether.
Since our documentation already mentioned that we can refuse a non-zero
bandwidth for some hypervisors, I think the best solution is to do
just that for RHEL 6.2 qemu, so that the race is obvious to the user
(anyone using stock RHEL 6.2 binaries won't have this patch, and anyone
building their own libvirt with this patch for RHEL can also rebuild
qemu to get the modern semantics, so it is no real loss in behavior).
Meanwhile the code must be fixed to honor actual qemu 1.1 naming.
Rename the parameter to 'modern', since the naming difference now
covers more than just 'async' block-job-cancel. And while at it,

QEMU binary is called several times when we probe different kinds of
capabilities the binary supports. This patch introduces new common
helper so that all probes use a consistent way of invoking qemu.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816662 pointed out
that attempting 'virsh blockpull' on an offline domain gave a
misleading error message about qemu lacking support for the
operation, even when qemu was specifically updated to support it.
The real problem is that we have several capabilities that are
only determined when starting a domain, and therefore are still
clear when first working with an inactive domain (namely, any
capability set by qemuMonitorJSONCheckCommands).
While this patch was able to hoist an existing check in one of the
three culprits, it had to add redundant checks in the other two
places (because you always have to check for an active domain after
obtaining a VM job lock, but the capability bits were being checked
prior to obtaining the job lock).
Someday it would be nice to patch libvirt to cache the set of
capabilities per qemu binary (as determined by inode and timestamp),
rather than re-probing the binary every time a domain is started,
and to teach the cache how to query the monitor during the one
time the probe is made rather than having to wait until a guest
is started; then, a capability probe would succeed even for offline
guests because it just refers to the cache, and the single check for
an active domain after grabbing the job lock would be sufficient.
But since that will involve a lot more coding, I'm happy to go
with this simpler solution for an immediate solution.

Once qemu monitor reports migration has completed, we just closed our
end of the pipe and let migration tunnel die. This generated bogus error
in case we did so before the thread saw EOF on the pipe and migration
was aborted even though it was in fact successful.
With this patch we first wake up the tunnel thread and once it has read
all data from the pipe and finished the stream we close the
filedescriptor.
A small additional bonus of this patch is that real errors reported
inside qemuMigrationIOFunc are not overwritten by virStreamAbort any
more.
When QEMU reported failed or canceled migration, we correctly detected
it but didn't really consider it as an error condition and migration
protocol just went on. Luckily, some of the subsequent steps eventually
failed end we reported an (unrelated and mostly random) error back to
the caller.
In some cases (spotted with broken connection during tunneled migration)
we were overwriting the original error with worse or even misleading
errors generated when we were cleaning up after failed migration.

Instead of returning a CPUs list, numad returns NUMA node
list instead, this patch is to convert the node list to
cpumap before affinity setting. Otherwise, the domain
processes will be pinned only to CPU[$numa_cell_num],
which will cause significiant performance losses.
Also because numad will balance the affinity dynamically,
reflecting the cpuset from numad back doesn't make much
sense then, and it may just could produce confusion for
the users. Thus the better way is not to reflect it back
to XML. And in this case, it's better to ignore the cpuset
when parsing XML.
The codes to update the cpuset is removed in this patch
incidentally, and there will be a follow up patch to ignore
the manually specified "cpuset" if "placement" is "auto",
and document will be updated too.
