commit 984840a2c2 removed the
notification of waiting calls when VIR_NET_CONTINUE messages
arrive. This was to fix the case of a virStreamAbort() call
being prematurely notified of completion.
The problem is that sometimes there are dummy calls from a
virStreamRecv() call waiting that *do* need to be notified.
These dummy calls should have a status VIR_NET_CONTINUE. So
re-add the notification upon VIR_NET_CONTINUE, but only if
the waiter also has a status of VIR_NET_CONTINUE.

If a domain has inactive XML we want to transfer it to destination

Commit 282fe1f0 documented that transient domains will auto-delete
any snapshot metadata when the last reference to the domain is

Related #BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702260.
There are two problems described in the BZ:
1) "Can't remove open logical volume".
2) "Unable to deactivate logical volume "foo""
This patch just intends to fix 2), as 1) is expected if the vol
is still used by something, and you never known if "lvchange -an"
will fail or not either (sometime, it will succeed, sometimes not).
We'd better not look for trouble, :-)
For 2), that's caused by race between lvremove and udev event handling,
the only workable way now is to wait the events handling are finished,
though it might introduce latencies, as "udevadmin settle" exits
after *all* events are handled, it's the only way we can fix
the racing in libvirt layer.

Once virDomainReboot is called for a domain, guest OS initiated shutdown
would always result in reboot instead of shutdown. Only
virDomainShutdown would actually shutd such domain down. That's because
we forgot to reset fakeReboot flag once we asked the domain to reboot.
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.
This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".
The next patch will add a syntax check that flags this usage in xen
as awkward - while it was valid memory management, it was very hard
to maintain. Swapping to a more traditional allocation may be a bit
slower, but easier to understand.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonListDomainsOld): Use two-level
allocation, rather than abusing allocation function.

Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.
For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and

Libvirt loads the domain conf from status XML if it's running when
starting up. The problem is there is no record of the original conf.
(dom->newDef is NULL here).
So libvirt won't be able to restore the domain conf to original one
when destroying/shutdown. E.g.
1) attach a device without "--persistent"
2) restart libvirtd
3) destroy domain
4) start domain
One will see the the disk still exists.
This patch is to fix the peoblem by assigning persistent domain conf
to dom->newDef if it's NULL and the domain is running.
Virsh man page lists driver types to be used with attach-device
command, but does not specify that those are usable only with the XEN
Hypervisor.
This patch adds statement, that those options specified are applicable
only on the Xen hypervisor and adds option usable with qemu emulator.
This patch also changes type of error returned by QEMU driver if the
user specifies incompatible driver type from VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR to
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED.

Signed-off-by: Alex Jia <ajia@redhat.com>
For all types of disks other than qcow2, we were requesting that
SELinux labeling visit the new file as if it were qcow2, which
means labeling would try to find the backing files of an empty file.
And for a pre-existing qcow2 disk, we were passing NULL, which meant
that labelling tried to probe the file type (and if probing is
disabled, per the default qemu.conf, this made snapshots fail).
What we really want is to make SELinux labeling visit the new
file as raw; it will later be converted to qcow2 if qemu successfully
made the snapshot.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Force SELinux labeling
to avoid probe of new file.
For external snapshots to be useful on persistent domains, we must
alter the persistent definition alongside the running definition.
Thanks to the possibility of disk hotplug as well as of edits that
only affect the persistent xml, we can't assume that vm->def and
vm->newDef have the same disk at the same index, so we can only
update the persistent copy if the device destination matches up.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive)
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Also affect newDef, if
present.
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt

Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.
By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.
Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
When a domain is rebooted using libvirt API, we use fake reboot
consisting of shutting down and resetting the domain. Thus we see a
SHUTDOWN event and set gotShutdown flag. But we never reset it back and
if the domain crashes after it was rebooted this way, we consider it was
a normal shutdown and not a crash.
Commit 4454a9efc7 changed shutoff reason
from VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_CRASHED to VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_FAILED in case we
see an unexpected EOF on monitor connection. But FAILED reason is
dedicated for domains that fail to start. CRASHED reason is the right
one to use in this situation.
Libvirt special-cases a specific VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote driver
back into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT on the client, so that clients can
handle missing rpc functions the same whether the hypervisor driver
is local or remote. However, commit c1b22644 introduced a regression:
VIR_FROM_THIS changed from VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC, so the
special casing no longer works if the server uses the newer error
domain.

(virDomainQemuAttach): Fix typos and grammar.
Adjust qemuMigrationRun() to use migMaxBandwidth in qemuDomainObjPrivate

parameter overrides migMaxBandwidth.
The qemu migration speed default is 32MiB/s as defined in migration.c
/* Migration speed throttling */
static int64_t max_throttle = (32 << 20);
There's no need to throttle migration when targeting a file, so set migration
speed to unlimited prior to migration, and restore to libvirt default value
after migration.
Default units is MB for migrate_set_speed monitor command, so
(INT64_MAX / (1024 * 1024)) is used for unlimited migration speed.
Tested with both json and text monitors.
Now that migration speed is stored in qemuDomainObjPrivate structure,
save the new value when invoking qemuDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed().
Allow setting migration speed on inactive domain too.
The maximum bandwidth that can be consumed when migrating a domain
is better classified as an operational vs configuration parameter of
the dommain. As such, store this parameter in qemuDomainObjPrivate
structure.

Commit 973fcd8f introduced the ability for qemu to reject snapshot
reversion on an ABI incompatibility; but the very example that was
first proposed on-list[1] as a demonstration of an ABI incompatibility,
namely that of changing the max memory allocation, was not being
checked for, resulting in a cryptic failure when running with larger
max mem than what the snapshot was created with:
error: operation failed: Error -22 while loading VM state
This commit merely protects the three variables within mem that are
referenced by qemu_command.c, rather than all 7 (the other 4 variables
affect cgroup handling, but as far as I can tell, have no visible effect
to the qemu guest). This also affects migration and save file handling,
which are other places where we perform ABI compatibility checks.

Remove the explicit urlencode() in xenDaemonDomainCreateXML() and add

to <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1> this

Notice: virBufferAsprintf(..., "%s=%s", ...) is again replaced by three

While parsing XML strings from memory, the previous convention in
libvirt was to set the virtual file name to "domain.xml" or something

considers fatal. This makes libvirt unusable in this environment, even

This patch enables modifying network device configuration using the
virUpdateDeviceFlags API method. Matching of devices is accomplished
using MAC addresses.
While updating live configuration of a running domain, the user is
allowed only to change link state of the interface. Additional
modifications may be added later. For now the code checks for
unsupported changes and thereafter changes the link state, if
applicable.
When updating persistent configuration of guest's network interface the
whole configuration (except for the MAC address) may be modified and
is stored for the next startup.

* src/qemu/qemu_process.c - set link states before virtual machine

this on the command line.

link state. Both HMP and QMP commands are supported, but as the
link state functionality is from the beginning supported in QMP
the HMP code will probably never be used.

code.
This patch adds functions to compare structures containing network
device configuration for equality. They serve for the purpose of

It is important to be able to attach USB redirected devices to a
particular controller (one that supports USB2 for instance).
Without this patch, only the default bus was used.
<redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'>
<address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>
</redirdev>
The mainly changes are:
1) Update qemuMonitorGetBlockStatsInfo and it's children (Text/JSON)
functions to return the value of new latency fields.
2) Add new function qemuMonitorGetBlockStatsParamsNumber, which is
to count how many parameters the underlying QEMU supports.
3) Update virDomainBlockStats in src/qemu/qemu_driver.c to be
compatible with the changes by 1).
If libvirt daemon gets restarted and there is (at least) one
unresponsive qemu, the startup procedure hangs up. This patch creates
one thread per vm in which we try to reconnect to monitor. Therefore,
blocking in one thread will not affect other APIs.
This patch creates an optional BeginJob queue size limit. When
active, all other attempts above level will fail. To set this
feature assign desired value to max_queued variable in qemu.conf.
Setting it to 0 turns it off.
This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).
For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.
The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.
To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.
With this, it is now possible to create external snapshots even
when SELinux is enforcing, and to protect the new file with a
lock manager.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Create and register
new file with proper permissions and locks.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive): Update caller.
Lots of earlier patches led up to this point - the qemu snapshot_blkdev
monitor command can now be controlled by libvirt! Well, insofar as
SELinux doesn't prevent qemu from open(O_CREAT) on the files. There's
still some followup work before things work with SELinux enforcing,
but this patch is big enough to post now.
There's still room for other improvements, too (for example, taking a
disk snapshot of an inactive domain, by using qemu-img for both internal
and external snapshots; wiring up delete and revert control, including
additional flags from my RFC; supporting active QED disk snapshots;
supporting per-storage-volume snapshots such as LVM or btrfs snapshots;
etc.). But this patch is the one that proves the new XML works!

Snapshots alter the set of disk image files opened by qemu, so
they must be audited. But they don't involve a full disk definition
structure, just the new filename. Make the next patch easier by
refactoring the audit routines to just operate on file name.

My RFC for snapshot support [1] proposes several rules for when it is
safe to delete or revert to an external snapshot, predicated on
the existence of new API flags. These will be incrementally added
in future patches, but until then, blindly mishandling a disk
snapshot risks corrupting internal state, so it is better to
outright reject the attempts until the other pieces are in place,
thus incrementally relaxing the restrictions added in this patch.

I got confused when 'virsh domblkinfo dom disk' required the
path to a disk (which can be ambiguous, since a single file
can back multiple disks), rather than the unambiguous target
device name that I was using in disk snapshots. So, in true
developer fashion, I went for the best of both worlds - all
interfaces that operate on a disk (aka block) now accept
either the target name or the unambiguous path to the backing
file used by the disk.

Since a snapshot is fully recoverable, it is useful to have a
snapshot as a means of hibernating a guest, then reverting to
the snapshot to wake the guest up. This mode of usage is
similar to 'virsh save/virsh restore', except that virsh
save uses an external file while virsh snapshot keeps the
vm state internal to a qcow2 file. However, it only works on
persistent domains.
In the usage pattern of snapshot/revert for hibernating a guest,
there is no need to keep the guest running between the two points
in time, especially since that would generate runtime state that
would just be discarded. Add a flag to make it possible to
stop the domain after the snapshot has completed.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_HALT):
New flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Document it.

(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateActive): Implement it.
Reverting to a state prior to an external snapshot risks
corrupting any other branches in the snapshot hierarchy that
were using the snapshot as a read-only backing file. So
disk snapshot code will default to preventing reverting to
a snapshot that has any children, meaning that deleting just
the children of a snapshot becomes a useful operation in
preparing that snapshot for being a future reversion target.
The code for the new flag is simple - it's one less deletion,
plus a tweak to keep the current snapshot correct.

The previous patch introduced new config, but if a hypervisor does
not support that new config, someone can write XML that does not
behave as documented. This prevents some of those cases by
explicitly rejecting transient disks for several hypervisors.
Disk snapshots will require a new flag to actually affect a snapshot
creation, so there's not much to reject there.

At least Xen-3.4.3 translates the /vm/localtime SXPR value to
/domain/platform/localtime and /domain/image/{linux,hvm}/localtime when
the domain is defined. When reading back that information libvirt only
handles HVM domains, but not PV domains: This results in libvirtd always
returning
<clock offset="utc"/>
while Xend used (localtime 1).
For PV domains use /domain/image/linux/localtime.
When reverting to a snapshot, the inactive domain configuration
has to be rolled back to what it was at the time of the snapshot.
Additionally, if the VM is active and the snapshot was active,
this now adds a failure if the two configurations are ABI
incompatible, rather than risking qemu confusion.
A future patch will add a VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FORCE flag, which
will be required for two risky code paths - reverting to an
older snapshot that lacked full domain information, and reverting
from running to a live snapshot that requires starting a new qemu
process. Any reverting that stops a running vm is also a form
of data loss (discarding the current running state to go back in
time), but as that is what reversion usually implies, it is
probably not worth requiring a force flag.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Copy out
domain.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML, qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Perform

Commit 69278878 fixed one direction of arbitrarily-named snapshots,

(virDomainGraphicsListenDefFormat, virDomainSnapshotDefFormat):
Escape arbitrary strings.
Just like VM saved state images (virsh save), snapshots MUST
track the inactive domain xml to detect any ABI incompatibilities.
The indentation is not perfect, but functionality comes before form.
Later patches will actually supply a full domain; for now, this
wires up the storage to support one, but doesn't ever generate one
in dumpxml output.
Happily, libvirt.c was already rejecting use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE
from read-only connections, even though before this patch, there was
no information to be secured by the use of that flag.
And while we're at it, mark the libvirt snapshot metadata files
as internal-use only.

Migration is another case of stranding metadata. And since
snapshot metadata is arbitrarily large, there's no way to
shoehorn it into the migration cookie of migration v3.
This patch consolidates two existing locations for migration
validation into one helper function, then enhances that function
to also do the new checks. If we could always trust the source
to validate migration, then the destination would not have to
do anything; but since older servers that did not do checking
can migrate to newer destinations, we have to repeat some of
the same checks on the destination; meanwhile, we want to
detect failures as soon as possible. With migration v2, this
means that validation will reject things at Prepare on the
destination if the XML exposes the problem, otherwise at Perform
on the source; with migration v3, this means that validation
will reject things at Begin on the source, or if the source
is old and the XML exposes the problem, then at Prepare on the
destination.
This patch is necessarily over-strict. Once a later patch
properly handles auto-cleanup of snapshot metadata on the
death of a transient domain, then the only time we actually
need snapshots to prevent migration is when using the
--undefinesource flag on a persistent source domain.
It is possible to recreate snapshot metadata on the destination
with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE and
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CURRENT. But for now, that is limited,
since if we delete the snapshot metadata prior to migration,
then we won't know the name of the current snapshot to pass
along; and if we delete the snapshot metadata after migration
and use the v3 migration cookie to pass along the name of the
current snapshot, then we need a way to bypass the fact that
this patch refuses migration with snapshot metadata present.
So eventually, we may have to introduce migration protocol v4
that allows feature negotiation and an arbitrary number of
handshake exchanges, so as to pass as many rpc calls as needed
to transfer all the snapshot xml hierarchy.
But all of that is thoughts for the future; for now, the best
course of action is to quit early, rather than get into a
funky state of stale metadata; then relax restrictions later.

A nice benefit of deleting all snapshots at undefine time is that
you don't have to do any reparenting or subtree identification - since
everything goes, this is an O(n) process, whereas using multiple
virDomainSnapshotDelete calls would be O(n^2) or worse. But it is
only doable for snapshot metadata, where we are in control of the
data being deleted; for the actual snapshots, there's too much
likelihood of something going wrong, and requiring even more API
calls to figure out what failed in the meantime, so callers are
better off deleting the snapshot data themselves one snapshot at
a time where they can deal with failures as they happen.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainUndefineFlags): Honor new flags.
As more clients start to want to know this information, doing
a PATH stat walk and malloc for every client adds up.
We are only caching the location, not the capabilities, so even
if qemu-img is updated in the meantime, it will still probably
live in the same location. So there is no need to worry about
clearing this particular cache.

Just as leaving managed save metadata behind can cause problems
when creating a new domain that happens to collide with the name
of the just-deleted domain, the same is true of leaving any
snapshot metadata behind. For safety sake, extend the semantic
change of commit b26a9fa9 to also cover snapshot metadata as a
reason to reject undefining an inactive domain. A future patch
will make sure that shutdown of a transient domain automatically
deletes snapshot metadata (whether by destroy, shutdown, or
guest-initiated action). Management apps of transient domains
should take care to capture xml of snapshots, if it is necessary
to recreate the snapshot metadata on a later transient domain
with the same name and uuid.
This also documents a new flag that hypervisors can choose to
support as a shortcut for taking care of the metadata as part of
the undefine process; however, nontrivial driver support for these
flags will be deferred to future patches.
Note that ESX and VBox can never be transient; therefore, they
do not have to worry about automatic cleanup after shutdown
(the persistent domain still remains); likewise they never
store snapshot metadata, so the undefine flag is trivial.
The nontrivial work remaining is thus in the qemu driver.

Redefining a qemu snapshot requires a bit of a tweak to the common
snapshot parsing code, but the end result is quite nice.
Be careful that redefinitions do not introduce circular parent
chains. Also, we don't want to allow conversion between online
and offline existing snapshots. We could probably do some more
validation for snapshots that don't already exist to make sure
they are even feasible, by parsing qemu-img output, but that
can come later.

new public flags.
Supporting NO_METADATA on snapshot creation is interesting - we must
still return a valid opaque snapshot object, but the user can't get
anything out of it (unless we add a virDomainSnapshotGetName()),
since it is no longer registered with the domain.
Also, virsh now tries to query for secure xml, in anticipation of
when we store <domain> xml inside <domainsnapshot>; for now, we
can trivially support it, since we have nothing secure.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Support
new flag.
(qemuDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc): Trivially support VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE.
The first two flags are essential for being able to replicate
snapshot hierarchies across multiple hosts, which will come in
handy for supervised migrations. It also allows a management app
to take a snapshot of a transient domain, save the metadata, stop
the domain, recreate a new transient domain by the same name,
redefine the snapshot, then revert to it.
This is not quite as convenient as leaving the metadata behind
after a domain is no longer around, but doing that has a few
problems: 1. the libvirt API can only delete snapshot metadata
if there is a valid domain handle to use to get to that snapshot
object - if stale data is left behind without a domain, there is
no way to request that the data be cleaned up. 2. creating a new
domain with the same name but different uuid than the older
domain where a snapshot existed cannot use the older snapshot
data; this risks confusing libvirt, and forbidding the stale
data is similar to the recent patch to forbid stale managed save.
The first two flags might be useful on hypervisors with no metadata,
but only for modifying the notion of the current snapshot;
however, I don't know how to do that for ESX or VBox.
The third flag is a convenience option, to combine a creation with
a delete metadata into one step. It is trivial for hypervisors
with no metadata.
The qemu changes will be involved enough to warrant a separate patch.

To make it easier to know when undefine will fail because of existing

Also, it is handy to filter the list of snapshots to just those that
have no parents; document that flag now, but implement it in later patches.

A future patch will make it impossible to remove a domain if it
would leave behind any libvirt-tracked metadata about snapshots,
since stale metadata interferes with a new domain by the same name.
But requiring snaphot contents to be deleted before removing a
domain is harsh; with qemu, qemu-img can still make use of the
contents after the libvirt domain is gone. Therefore, we need
an option to get rid of libvirt tracking information, but not
the actual contents. For hypervisors that do not track any
metadata in libvirt, the implementation is trivial; all remaining
hypervisors (really, just qemu) will be dealt with separately.

Deleting a snapshot and all its descendants had problems with
tracking the current snapshot. The deletion does not necessarily
proceed in depth-first order, so a parent could be deleted
before a child, wreaking havoc on passing the notion of the
current snapshot to the parent. Furthermore, even if traversal
were depth-first, doing multiple file writes to pass current up
the chain one snapshot at a time is wasteful, comparing to a
single update to the current snapshot at the end of the algorithm.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (snap_remove): Add field.
(qemuDomainSnapshotDiscard): Add parameter.
(qemuDomainSnapshotDiscardDescendant): Adjust accordingly.
(qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Properly reset current.
This one's nasty. Ever since we fixed virHashForEach to prevent
nested hash iterations for safety reasons (commit fba550f6),
virDomainSnapshotDelete with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN
has been broken for qemu: it deletes children, while leaving
grandchildren intact but pointing to a no-longer-present parent.
But even before then, the code would often appear to succeed to
clean up grandchildren, but risked memory corruption if you have
a large and deep hierarchy of snapshots.
For acting on just children, a single virHashForEach is sufficient.
But for acting on an entire subtree, it requires iteration; and
since we declared recursion as invalid, we have to switch to a
while loop. Doing this correctly requires quite a bit of overhaul,
so I added a new helper function to isolate the algorithm from the
actions, so that callers do not have to reinvent the iteration.
Note that this _still_ does not handle CHILDREN correctly if one
of the children is the current snapshot; that will be next.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainSnapshotDef): Add mark.
(virDomainSnapshotForEachDescendant): New prototype.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_conf.h): Export it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotMarkDescendant)
(virDomainSnapshotActOnDescendant)
(virDomainSnapshotForEachDescendant): New functions.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDiscardChildren):
Replace...
(qemuDomainSnapshotDiscardDescenent): ...with callback that
doesn't nest hash traversal.
(qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Use new function.
Each snapshot lookup was iterating over the entire hash table, O(n),
instead of honing in directly on the hash key, amortized O(1).
Besides, fixing this means that virDomainSnapshotFindByName can now
be used inside another virHashForeach iteration (without this patch,
attempts to lookup a snapshot by name during a hash iteration will
fail due to nested iteration).
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotFindByName): Simplify.
(virDomainSnapshotObjListSearchName): Delete unused function.
For a system checkpoint of a running or paused domain, it's fairly
easy to honor new flags for altering which state to use after the
revert. For an inactive snapshot, the revert has to be done while
there is no qemu process, so do back-to-back transitions; this also
lets us revert to inactive snapshots even for transient domains.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Support new
flags.
Commit 5e47785 broke reverts to offline system checkpoint snapshots
with older qemu, since there is no longer any code path to use
qemu -loadvm on next boot. Meanwhile, reverts to offline system
checkpoints have been broken for newer qemu, both before and
after that commit, since -loadvm no longer works to revert to
disk state without accompanying vm state. Fix both of these by
using qemu-img to revert disk state.
Meanwhile, consolidate the (now 3) clients of a qemu-img iteration
over all disks of a VM into one function, so that any future
algorithmic fixes to the FIXMEs in that function after partial
loop iterations are dealt with at once. That does mean that this
patch doesn't handle partial reverts very well, but we're not
making the situation any worse in this patch.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Use
qemu-img rather than 'qemu -loadvm' to revert to offline snapshot.
(qemuDomainSnapshotRevertInactive): New helper.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateInactive): Factor guts...
(qemuDomainSnapshotForEachQcow2): ...into new helper.
(qemuDomainSnapshotDiscard): Use it.
If you take a checkpoint snapshot of a running domain, then pause
qemu, then restore the snapshot, the result should be a running
domain, but the code was leaving things paused. Furthermore, if
you take a checkpoint of a paused domain, then run, then restore,
there was a brief but non-deterministic window of time where the
domain was running rather than paused. Fix both of these
discrepancies by always pausing before restoring.
Also, check that the VM is active every time lock is dropped
between two monitor calls.
Finally, straighten out the events that get emitted on each
transition.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Always
pause before reversion, and improve events.
Implement the new running/paused overrides for saved state management.
Unfortunately, for virDomainSaveImageDefineXML, the saved state
updates are write-only - I don't know of any way to expose a way
to query the current run/pause setting of an existing save image
file to the user without adding a new API or modifying the domain
xml of virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc to include a new element to
reflect the state bit encoded into the save image. However, I
don't think this is a show-stopper, since the API is designed to
leave the state bit alone unless an explicit flag is used to
change it.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSaveInternal)
(qemuDomainSaveImageOpen): Adjust signature.
(qemuDomainSaveFlags, qemuDomainManagedSave)
(qemuDomainRestoreFlags, qemuDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc)
(qemuDomainSaveImageDefineXML, qemuDomainObjRestore): Adjust
callers.
While it is nice that snapshots and saved images remember whether
the domain was running or paused, sometimes the restoration phase
wants to guarantee a particular state (paused to allow hot-plugging,
or running without needing to call resume). This introduces new
flags to allow the control, and a later patch will implement the
flags for qemu.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED, VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_RUNNING)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_PAUSED): New flags.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSaveFlags, virDomainRestoreFlags)
(virDomainManagedSave, virDomainSaveImageDefineXML)
(virDomainRevertToSnapshot): Document their use, and enforce
mutual exclusion.
There are two classes of management apps that track events - one
that only cares about on/off (and only needs to track EVENT_STARTED
and EVENT_STOPPED), and one that cares about paused/running (also
tracks EVENT_SUSPENDED/EVENT_RESUMED). To keep both classes happy,
any transition that can go from inactive to paused must emit two
back-to-back events - one for started and one for suspended (since
later resuming of the domain will only send RESUMED, but the first
class isn't tracking that).
This also fixes a bug where virDomainCreateWithFlags with the
VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED flag failed to start paused when restoring
from a managed save image.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_RESTORED)
(VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_FROM_SNAPSHOT)
(VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_RESUMED_FROM_SNAPSHOT): New sub-events.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Use them.
(qemuDomainSaveImageStartVM): Likewise, and add parameter.
(qemudDomainCreate, qemuDomainObjStart): Send suspended event when
starting paused.
(qemuDomainObjRestore): Add parameter.
(qemuDomainObjStart, qemuDomainRestoreFlags): Update callers.
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c
(eventDetailToString): Map new detail strings.
QEMU uses USB bus name "usb.0" when using the legacy -usb argument.
If we want to allow USB devices to specify their addresses with legacy
-usb, we should either in case of legacy bus name drop the 0 from the
address bus, or just drop the 0 from device id. This patch does the
later.
Another solution would be to permit addressing on non-legacy USB
controllers only.
So that devices can be attached to hubs. Example, to attach to first
port of a usb-hub on port 1.
<hub type='usb'>
<address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/>
</hub>
<input type='mouse' type='usb'>
<address type='usb' bus='0' port='1.1'/>
</hub>

Commit 6766ff10 introduced a corner case bug with snapshot creation:
if a snapshot is created, but then we hit OOM while trying to
create the return value of the function, then we have polluted the
internal directory with the snapshot metadata with no way to clean
it up from the running libvirtd.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Don't
write metadata file on OOM condition.
Newer QEMU introduced cache=directsync for -drive, this patchset
is to expose it in libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_DIRECTSYNC),
As even $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't known if directsync
is supported.
This patch adds the ability to make the filesystem for a filesystem
pool during a pool build.
The patch adds two new flags, no overwrite and overwrite, to control
when mkfs gets executed. By default, the patch preserves the
current behavior, i.e., if no flags are specified, pool build on a
filesystem pool only makes the directory on which the filesystem
will be mounted.
If the no overwrite flag is specified, the target device is checked
to determine if a filesystem of the type specified in the pool is
present. If a filesystem of that type is already present, mkfs is
not executed and the build call returns an error. Otherwise, mkfs
is executed and any data present on the device is overwritten.
If the overwrite flag is specified, mkfs is always executed, and any
existing data on the target device is overwritten unconditionally.
Several users have reported problems with 'virsh start' failing because
it was encountering a managed save situation where the managed save file
was incomplete. Be more robust to this by using two different magic
numbers, so that newer libvirt can gracefully handle an incomplete file
differently than a complete one, while older libvirt will at least fail
up front rather than trying to load only to have qemu fail at the end.
Managed save is a convenience - it exists to preserve as much state
as possible; if the state was not preserved, it is reasonable to just
log that fact, then proceed with a fresh boot. On the other hand,
user saves are under user control, so we must fail, but by making
the failure message distinct, the user can better decide how to handle
the situation of an incomplete save file.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (QEMUD_SAVE_PARTIAL): New define.
(qemuDomainSaveInternal): Use it to mark incomplete images.
(qemuDomainSaveImageOpen, qemuDomainObjRestore): Add parameter
that controls what to do with partial images.
(qemuDomainRestoreFlags, qemuDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc)
(qemuDomainSaveImageDefineXML, qemuDomainObjStart): Update callers.
Based on an initial idea by Osier Yang.
In a SELinux or root-squashing NFS environment, libvirt has to go
through some hoops to create a new file that qemu can then open()
by name. Snapshots are a case where we want to guarantee an empty
file that qemu can open; also, reopening a save file to convert it
from being marked partial to complete requires a reopen to avoid
O_DIRECT headaches. Refactor some existing code to make it easier
to reuse in later patches.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.h (qemuMigrationToFile): Drop parameter.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): Let cgroup do
the stat, rather than asking caller to do it and pass info down.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuOpenFile): New function, pulled from...
(qemuDomainSaveInternal): ...here.
(doCoreDump, qemuDomainSaveImageOpen): Use it here as well.
After supporting multi function pci device, we only reserve function 1 on slot 1.
The user can use the other function on slot 1 in the xml config file. We should
detect this wrong usage.
Currently, the lxc implementation invokes 'ip' and 'ifconfig' commands
inside a container using 'virRun'. That has the side effect of requiring
those commands to be present and to function in a manner consistent with
the usage. Some small roots (such as ttylinux) may not have 'ip' or
'ifconfig'.
This patch replaces the use of these commands with usage of
netdevice. The result is that lxc containers do not have to implement
those commands, and lxc in libvirt is only dependent on the netdevice
interface.
I've tested this patch locally against the ubuntu libvirt version enough
to verify its generally sane. I attempted to build upstream today, but
failed with:
/usr/bin/ld:
../src/.libs/libvirt_driver_qemu.a(libvirt_driver_qemu_la-qemu_domain.o):
undefined reference to symbol 'xmlXPathRegisterNs@@LIBXML2_2.4.30
Thats probably a local issue only, but I wanted to get this patch up and
see what others thought of it. This is ubuntu bug

Hi,
I'm seeing an issue with udev and libvirt-lxc. Libvirt-lxc creates
/dev/ptmx as a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. When udev starts up, it
checks the device type, sees ptmx is 'not right', and replaces it
with a 'proper' ptmx.
In lxc, /dev/ptmx is bind-mounted from /dev/pts/ptmx instead of being
symlinked, so udev sees the right device type and leaves it alone.
A patch like the following seems to work for me. Would there be
any objections to this?

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] make ptmx a bind mount rather than symlink
udev on some systems checks the device type of /dev/ptmx, and replaces it if
not as expected. The symlink created by libvirt-lxc therefore gets replaced.
By creating it as a bind mount, the device type is correct and udev leaves it
alone.

The libvirt BlockPull API supports the use of an initial bandwidth limit but the
qemu block_stream API does not. To get the desired behavior we use the two APIs
strung together: first BlockPull, then BlockJobSetSpeed. We can do this at the
driver level to avoid duplicated code in each monitor path.
Signed-off-by: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com>
Due to an unfortunate precedent in qemu, the units for the bandwidth parameter
to block_job_set_speed are different between the text monitor and the qmp
monitor. While the qmp monitor uses bytes/s, the text monitor expects MB/s.
Correct the units for the text interface.

On systems with many pcpus, the sexpr returned by xend can be quite
large for dom0 when it is configured to have #vcpus = #pcpus (default).
E.g. on a 80 pcpu system, where dom0 had 80 vcpus, the sexpr details
for dom0 was 73817 bytes! Increase maximum buffer size to 256k.
