By using a loopback device, disks backed by plain files can
be made available to LXC containers. We make no attempt to
auto-detect format if <driver type="raw"/> is not set,
instead we unconditionally treat that as meaning raw. This
is to avoid the security issues inherent with format
auto-detection

The current QEMU code for skipping log messages only skips over
'debug' message, switch to virLogProbablyLogMessage to make sure
it skips over all of them
Currently we rely on a VIR_ERROR message being logged by the
virRaiseError function to report LXC startup errors. This gives
the right message, but is rather ugly and can be truncated
if lots of log messages are written. Change the LXC controller
to explicitly print any virErrorPtr message to stderr. Then
change the driver to skip over anything that looks like a log
message.
The result is that this
error: Failed to start domain busy

When reading log output from QEMU/LXC we need to skip over any
libvirt log messages. Currently the QEMU driver checks for a
fixed string, but this is better done with a regex. Add a method
virLogProbablyLogMessage to do a regex check

In the LXC container startup code when switching stdio
streams, we call VIR_FORCE_CLOSE on all FDs. This triggers
a huge number of warnings, but we don't see them because
stdio is closed at this point. strace() however shows them
which can confuse people debugging the code. Switch to
VIR_MASS_CLOSE to avoid this

This patch plugs two memory leaks, removes some useless and confusing
constructs and renames renames "cleanup" label as "error" since it is
only used for error path rather then being common for both success and
error paths.
1. The virObjectLock() call was unconditional, but Unlock was conditional
on vm being valid. Removed the check
2. A call to virDomainEventNewFromObj() isn't guaranteed to return an
event - that check needs to be made prior to libxlDomainEventQueue()
of the event. Did not add libxlDriverLock/Unlock around the call since
some callers already have lock taken
3. Need to initialize fd = -1 in libxlDoDomainSave() since we can jump
to cleanup before it's set.
4. Missing break;'s in libxlDomainModifyDeviceFlags() for case
LIBXL_DEVICE_UPDATE. The default: case would report an error
A value which is equal to a integer maximum such as LLONG_MAX is
a valid integer value.
The patch fix the following error:
1, virsh memtune vm --swap-hard-limit -1
2, virsh start vm
In debug mode, it shows error like:
virScaleInteger:1813 : numerical overflow:\
value too large: 9007199254740991KiB
This patch adds proper error reporting if parsing of cputune parameters
fails due to incorrect values provided by the user. Previously no errors
were reported in such a case and the failure was silently ignored.
Make the iterator function usable in the next patches. Also refactor
some parts to avoid strcmp if not necessary.
This commit tweaks and shadows the change that was done in commit
babe7dada0 and was needed after the
support for multiple console devices was added. Historically the first
<console> element is alias for the <serial> device.
There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng. It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

Without error handler set, virDefaultErrorFunc will be called, the
error message is prefixed with "libvir:". It become a little better
by using prefix "libvirt:" when working with upper application.
For example:
1, stop libvirtd daemon
2, run virt-top.

There's a quite old bug entry here:

I just stumbled over that very issue on F18. Doing a little bit
debugging of the shutdown sequence, it turns out that - at least on my
F18 installation - libvirtd is shutdown *after* iscsid, which makes it
impossible for libvirt to perform the logout of the iscsi session properly.
This patch simply adds another startup dependancy on iscsid.service
which in turn delays iscsid shutdown until after libvirtd has stopped.
Having that applied, the system shuts down properly again.

Commit f506a4c1 changed virSetUIDGID() to be a noop
when uid/gid are -1, while it used to be a noop when
they are <= 0.
The changes in this commit broke creating new VMs in GNOME Boxes
as qemuDomainCheckDiskPresence gets called during domain creation/startup,
which in turn calls virFileAccessibleAs which fails after calling
virSetUIDGID(0, 0) (Boxes uses session libvirtd). virSetUIDGID is called with
(0, 0) as these are the default user/group values in virQEMUDriverConfig
for session libvirtd.
This commit changes virQEMUDriverConfigNew to use -1 as the unpriviledged
uid/gid. I've also looked at the various places where cfg->user is used,
and they all seem to handle -1 correctly.
Currently, after we removed the qemu driver lock, it may happen
that two or more threads will start up a machine with macvlan and
race over virNetDevMacVLanCreateWithVPortProfile(). However,
there's a racy section in which we are generating a sequence of
possible device names and detecting if they exits. If we found
one which doesn't we try to create a device with that name.
However, the other thread is doing just the same. Assume it will
succeed and we must therefore fail. If this happens more than 5
times (which in massive parallel startup surely will) we return
-1 without any error reported. This patch is a simple hack to
both of these problems. It introduces a mutex, so only one thread
will enter the section, and if it runs out of possibilities,
error is reported. Moreover, the number of retries is raised to 20.
This reverts the hack done in

qemu: Avoid deadlock in autodestroy
since we now have a fix which avoids the deadlock scenario
entirely
There is a lock ordering problem in the QEMU close callback
APIs.
When starting a guest we have a lock on the VM. We then
set a autodestroy callback, which acquires a lock on the
close callbacks.
When running auto-destroy, we obtain a lock on the close
callbacks, then run each callbacks - which obtains a lock
on the VM.
This causes deadlock if anyone tries to start a VM, while
autodestroy is taking place.
The fix is to do autodestroy in 2 phases. First obtain
all the callbacks and remove them from the list under
the close callback lock. Then invoke each callback
from outside the close callback lock.

When the auto-destroy callback runs it is supposed to return
NULL if the virDomainObjPtr is no longer valid. It was not
doing this for transient guests, so we tried to virObjectUnlock
a mutex which had been freed. This often led to a crash.
