In case we find out, there are more PCI devices to be connected
than there are available slots on the default PCI bus, we automatically add a
new bus and a related PCI bridge controller as well. As there are no free slots
left on the default PCI bus, PCI bridge controller gets a free slot on a
newly created PCI bus which causes qemu to refuse to start the guest.
This fix introduces a new function qemuDomainPCIBusFullyReserved which
is checked right before we possibly try to reserve a slot for PCI bridge
controller.

The default value should be 16 MiB instead of 8 MiB. Only really old

Without this change if you update your libvirt where we introduced the
"vgamem" attribute for QXL video device the value will be set to 8 MiB,
but previously your guest had 16 MiB because we didn't pass any value to
QEMU command line which means QEMU used its own 16 MiB as default.

In one of my previous commits (311b4a67) I've tried to allow to
pass regular system pages to <hugepages>. However, there was a
little bug that wasn't caught. If domain has guest NUMA topology
defined, qemuBuildNumaArgStr() function takes care of generating
corresponding command line. The hugepages backing for guest NUMA
nodes is handled there too. And here comes the bug: the hugepages
setting from XML is stored in KiB internally, however, the system
pages size was queried and stored in Bytes. So the check whether
these two are equal was failing even if it shouldn't.

Libvirt BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175397
QEMU BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170093
In qemu there are two interesting arguments:
1) -numa to create a guest NUMA node
2) -object memory-backend-{ram,file} to tell qemu which memory
region on which host's NUMA node it should allocate the guest
memory from.
Combining these two together we can instruct qemu to create a
guest NUMA node that is tied to a host NUMA node. And it works
just fine. However, depending on machine type used, there might
be some issued during migration when OVMF is enabled (see QEMU
BZ). While this truly is a QEMU bug, we can help avoiding it. The
problem lies within the memory backend objects somewhere. Having
said that, fix on our side consists on putting those objects on
the command line if and only if needed. For instance, while
previously we would construct this (in all ways correct) command
line:
-object memory-backend-ram,size=256M,id=ram-node0 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
now we create just:
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256
because the backend object is obviously not tied to any specific
host NUMA node.

When libvirt is managing a bridge's forwarding database (FDB)
(macTableManager='libvirt'), if we add FDB entries for a new guest
interface even before the qemu process is created, then in the case of
a migration any other guest attached to the "destination" bridge will
have its traffic immediately sent to the destination of the migration
even while the source domain is still running (and the destination, of
course, isn't). To make sure that traffic from other guests on the new
host continues flowing to the old guest until the new one is ready, we
have to wait until the new guest CPUs are started to add the FDB
entries.
Conversely, we need to remove the FDB entries from the bridge any time
the guest CPUs are stopped; among other things, this will assure
proper operation during a post-copy migration (which is just the
opposite of the problem described in the previous paragraph).

It occurred to me that OpenStack uses the following XML when not using
regular huge pages:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='4' unit='KiB'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
However, since we are expecting to see huge pages only, we fail to
startup the domain with following error:
libvirtError: internal error: Unable to find any usable hugetlbfs
mount for 4 KiB
While regular system pages are not huge pages technically, our code is
prepared for that and if it helps OpenStack (or other management
applications) we should cope with that.

qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() used to have a special case for
actualType='network' (a network with forward mode of route, nat, or
isolated) to call the libvirt public API to retrieve the bridge being
used by a network. That is no longer necessary - since all network
types that use a bridge and tap device now get the bridge name stored
in the ActualNetDef, we can just always use
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName() instead.
(an audit of the two callers to qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() confirms
that it is never called for any other type of network, so the dead
code in the else statement (logging an internal error if it is called
for any other type of network) is eliminated in the process.)
When libvirt is managing the MAC table of a Linux host bridge, it must
turn off learning and unicast_flood for each tap device attached to
that bridge, then add a Forwarding Database (fdb) entry for the tap
device using the MAC address from the domain interface config.
Once we have disabled learning and flooding, any packet that has a
destination MAC address not present in the fdb will be dropped by the
bridge. This, along with the opportunistic disabling of promiscuous
mode[*], can result in enhanced network performance. and a potential
slight security improvement.
[*] If there is only one device on the bridge with learning/unicast_flood
enabled, then that device will automatically have promiscuous mode
disabled. If there are *no* devices with learning/unicast_flood
enabled (e.g. for a libvirt "route", "nat", or isolated network that
has no physical device attached), then all non-tap devices will have
promiscuous mode disabled (tap devices always have promiscuous mode
enabled, which may be a bug in the kernel, but in practice has 0
effect).
None of this has any effect for kernels prior to 3.15 (upstream kernel
commit 2796d0c648c940b4796f84384fbcfb0a2399db84 "bridge: Automatically
manage port promiscuous mode"). Even after that, until kernel 3.17
(upstream commit 5be5a2df40f005ea7fb7e280e87bbbcfcf1c2fc0 "bridge: Add
filtering support for default_pvid") traffic will not be properly
forwarded without manually adding vlan table entries. Unfortunately,
although the presence of the first patch is signalled by existence of
the "learning" and "unicast_flood" options in sysfs, there is no
reliable way to query whether or not the system's kernel has the
second of those patches installed, the only thing that can be done is
to try the setting and see if traffic continues to pass.
Since virNetworkFree will call virObjectUnref anyway, let's just use that
directly so as to avoid the possibility that we inadvertently clear out
a pending error message when using the public API.

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
To allow reuse this non-trivial parser code in the backing store parser
this part of the command line parser needs to be split out into a
separate funciton.
Instead of splitting out various fields, pass the complete structure and
let the function pick various things of it.
As one of the callers isn't using virStorageSourcePtr to store the data,
this patch adds glue code that fills the data into a dummy
virStorageSourcePtr before calling the func.
This change will help when adding new fields that need output processing
in the future.

This is a reaction to Michal's fix [1] for non-NUMA systems that also
splits out conf/ out of util/ because libvirt_util shouldn't require
libvirt_conf if it is the other way around. This particular use case
worked, but we're trying to avoid it as mentioned [2], many times.
The only functions from virnuma.c that needed numatune_conf were
virDomainNumatuneNodesetIsAvailable() and virNumaSetupMemoryPolicy().
The first one should be in numatune_conf as it works with
virDomainNumatune, the second one just needs nodeset and mode, both of
which can be passed without the need of numatune_conf.
Apart from fixing that, this patch also fixes recently added
code (between commits d2460f85^..5c8515620) that doesn't support
non-contiguous nodesets. It uses new function
virNumaNodesetIsAvailable(), which doesn't need a stub as it doesn't use
any libnuma functions, to check if every specified nodeset is available.

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
In the function at one place we check if def->cpu is NULL prior
to accessing def->cpu->ncells. Then, later in the code,
def->cpu->ncells is accessed directly, without the check. This
makes coverity unhappy, because the first check makes it think
def->cpu can be NULL. However, the function is not called if
def->cpu is NULL. Therefore, remove the first check and hopefully
make coverity cheer again.

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional

a blkdeviotune element in qemu_driver.c and thus reports an error when
a larger number than LLONG_MAX is detected.

QEMU 2.1 added support for the kvm=off option to the -cpu command,
allowing the KVM hypervisor signature to be hidden from the guest.
This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
guest as well as allowing certain drivers which test for the
hypervisor to load. Domain XML syntax is as follows:
<domain type='kvm>
...
<features>
...
<kvm>
<hidden state='on'/>
</kvm>
</features>

Using 'virsh attach-device --config' (or --persistent) to attach a
file backed lun device will succeed; however, subsequent domain restarts
will result in failure because the configuration of a file backed lun
is not supported.
Although allowing 'illegal configurations' is something that can be
allowed, it may not be practical in this case. Generally, when attaching
a device to a domain means the domain must be running. A way around
this is using the --config (or --persistent) option. When an attach
is done to a running domain, a temporary configuration is modified
first followed by the live update. The live update will make a number
of disk validity checks when building the qemu command to attach the
disk. If any fail, then change is rejected.
Rather than allow a potentially illegal combination, adjust the code
in the configuration path to make the same checks as the running path
will make with respect to disk validity checks. This way we avoid
having the potential for some subsequent start/reboot to fail because
an illegal combination was allowed.
NB: The live path still checks the configuration since it is possible
to just do --live guest modification...

When starting up the domain the domain's NICs are allocated. As of
1f24f682 (v1.0.6) we are able to use multiqueue feature on virtio
NICs. It breaks network processing into multiple queues which can be
processed in parallel by different host CPUs. The queues are, however,
created by opening /dev/net/tun several times. Unfortunately, only the
first FD in the row is labelled so when turning the multiqueue feature
on in the guest, qemu will get AVC denial. Make sure we label all the
FDs needed.
Moreover, the default label of /dev/net/tun doesn't allow
attaching a queue:
type=AVC msg=audit(1399622478.790:893): avc: denied { attach_queue }
for pid=7585 comm="qemu-kvm"
scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c638,c877
tcontext=system_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tclass=tun_socket
And as suggested by SELinux maintainers, the tun FD should be labeled
as svirt_t. Therefore, we don't need to adjust any range (as done
previously by Guannan in ae368ebf) rather set the seclabel of the
domain directly.

In commit 45ad1adb I added a nicer message for tunings that need
cgroups when unavailable (unprivileged), but I added this check for
I/O tuning of block devices, which doesn't need cgroups, because it is
done by QEMU, so let's fix that.

If PCI passthrough type is not supported, we should error out rather than
continue building the command line.
When starting a domain, the type has been already checked by
qemuPrepareHostdevPCICheckSupport() before building qemu command line,
so the problem doesn't emerge.
But when coverting a domain xml without specifying passthrough type explictly
to qemu arg, we will get a malformed command line.
the xml:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0001' bus='0x03' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</hostdev>
the converted command line:
-device ,host=0001:03:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5
After this patch, virsh gives an error message:

Use better detection of hugetlbfs mount points. Yes, there can be
multiple mount points each serving different huge page size.
Since we already have ability to override the mount point in the
qemu.conf file, this crazy backward compatibility code is brought in.
Now we allow multiple mount points, so the "hugetlbfs_mount" option
must take an list of strings (mount points). But previously, it was
just a string, so we must accept both types now.

Commit e5f36698e3 introduces a
false-positive build failure in the sound card model handling switch.
Initialize the model to NULL although the value should never be used.
Libvirt documents that the default entropy source for the 'random'
backend of a RNG device is /dev/random. Instead of storing and
propagating NULL across our code and checking it in multiple places fill
the default in the post parse callback and use that in the other places.
Create the structures and API's to hold and manage the iSCSI host device.
This extends the 'scsi_host' definitions added in commit id '5c811dce'.
A future patch will add the XML parsing, but that code requires some
infrastructure to be in place first in order to handle the differences
between a 'scsi_host' and an 'iSCSI host' device.
Split virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI further. In preparation for having
either SCSI or iSCSI data, create a union in virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI
to contain just a virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSIHost to describe the
'scsi_host' host device
Currently, we only bind the whole QEMU domain to memory nodes
specified in nodemask altogether. That, however, doesn't make much
sense when one wants to control from where the memory for particular
guest nodes should be allocated. QEMU allows us to do that by
specifying 'host-nodes' parameter for the 'memory-backend-ram' object,
so let's use that.

In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result. When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements. With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field. This will be useful when we have tuning settings for
particular guest NUMA node.

This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.
The XML looks like:
