In Fedora 19, 'qemu-kvm' is a simple wrapper that calls
'qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm'. Attempting
to use 'virsh qemu-attach $pid' to a machine started as:
qemu-kvm -cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img \
-monitor unix:/tmp/demo,server,nowait -name foo \
--uuid cece4f9f-dff0-575d-0e8e-01fe380f12ea
was failing with:
error: XML error: No PCI buses available
because we did not see 'kvm' in the executable name read from
/proc/$pid/cmdline, and tried to assign os.machine as
"accel=kvm" instead of "pc"; this in turn led to refusal to
recognize the pci bus.
Noticed while investigating https://bugzilla.redhat.com/995312
although there are still other issues to fix before that bug
will be completely solved.
I've concluded that the existing parser code for native-to-xml
is a horrendous hodge-podge of ad-hoc approaches; I basically
rewrote the -machine section to be a bit saner.
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuParseCommandLine): Don't assume
-machine argument is always appropriate for os.machine; set
virtType if accel is present.

'virsh domxml-from-native' and 'virsh qemu-attach' could misbehave
for an emulator installed in (a somewhat unlikely) location
such as /usr/local/qemu-1.6/qemu-system-x86_64 or (an even less
likely) /opt/notxen/qemu-system-x86_64. Limit the strstr seach
to just the basename of the file where we are assuming details
about the binary based on its name.
While testing, I accidentally triggered a core dump during strcmp

The VIR_FREE() macro will cast away any const-ness. This masked a

No need to open code now that we have a nice function.
Interestingly, our virStringFreeList function is typed correctly
(a malloc'd list of malloc'd strings is NOT const, whether at the
point where it is created, or at the point where it is cleand up),
so using it with a 'const char **' argument would require a cast
to keep the compiler. I chose instead to remove const from code
even where we don't modify the argument, just to avoid the need
to cast.

Since commit v1.0.5-56-g449e6b1 (Pull parsing of migration xml up into
QEMU driver APIs) any attempt to rename a domain during migration fails
with the following error message:
internal error Incoming cookie data had unexpected name DOM vs DOM2
This is because migration cookies always use the original domain name
and the mentioned commit failed to propagate the name back to
qemuMigrationPrepareAny.
Currently, kernel supports up to 8 queues for a multiqueue tap device.
However, if user tries to enter a huge number (e.g. one million) the tap
allocation fails, as expected. But what is not expected is the log full
of warnings:
warning : virFileClose:83 : Tried to close invalid fd 0
The problem is, upon error we iterate over an array of FDs (handlers to
queues) and VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() over each item. However, the array is
pre-filled with zeros. Hence, we repeatedly close stdin. Ouch.
But there's more. The queues allocation is done in virNetDevTapCreate()
which cleans up the FDs in case of error. Then, its caller, the
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort() iterates over the FD array and tries to
close them too. And so does qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() and
qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine().
Starting with qemu 1.6, the qemu-system-arm vexpress-a9 model has a
hardcoded virtio-mmio transport which enables attaching all virtio
devices.
On the command line, we have to use virtio-XXX-device rather than
virtio-XXX-pci, thankfully s390 already set the precedent here so
it's fairly straight forward.
At the XML level, this adds a new device address type virtio-mmio.
The controller and addressing don't have any subelements at the
moment because we they aren't needed for this usecase, but could
be added later if needed.
Add a test case for an ARM guest with one of every virtio device
enabled.
Similar to the chardev bit, ARM boards depend on the old style '-net nic'
for actually instantiating net devices. But we can't block out
-netdev altogether since it's needed for upcoming virtio support.
And add tests for working ARM XML with console, disk, and networking.
This corresponds to '-sd' and '-drive if=sd' on the qemu command line.
Needed for many ARM boards which don't provide any other way to
pass in storage.
QEMU ARM boards don't give us any way to explicitly wire in
a -chardev, so use the old style -serial options.
Unfortunately this isn't as simple as just turning off the CHARDEV flag
for qemu-system-arm, as upcoming virtio support _will_ use device/chardev.
On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.
To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

vhost only works in KVM mode at the moment, and is infact compiled
out if the emulator is built for non-native architecture. While it
may work at some point in the future for plain qemu, for now it's
just noise on the command line (and which contributes to arm cli
breakage).
When using a <interface type="network"> that points to a network with
hostdev forwarding mode a hostdev alias is created for the network. This
allias is inserted into the hostdev list, but is backed with a part of
the network object that it is connected to.
When a VM is being stopped qemuProcessStop() calls
networkReleaseActualDevice() which eventually frees the memory for the
hostdev object. Afterwards when the domain definition is being freed by
virDomainDefFree() an invalid pointer is accessed by
virDomainHostdevDefFree() and may cause a crash of the daemon.
This patch removes the entry in the hostdev list before freeing the
depending memory to avoid this issue.

If there's no hard_limit set and domain uses VFIO we still must lock
the guest memory (prerequisite from qemu). Hence, we should compute
the amount to be locked from max_balloon.
When cpu hotplug fails without reporting an error, we would fail the
command but update the count of vCPUs anyways.

hot-unplug failed silently, but forgot to fix up the value in this case.

When doing a live migration, if the destination fails for any
reason after the point in which files should be labeled, then
the cleanup of the destination would restore the labels to their
defaults, even though the source is still trying to continue
running with the image open. Bug 822052 mentioned one source
of live migration failure - a mismatch in SELinux virt_use_nfs
settings (on for source, off for destination); but I found other
situations that would also trigger it (for example, having a
graphics device tied to port 5999 on the source, and a different
domain on the destination already using that port, so that the
destination cannot reuse the port).
In short, just as cleanup of the source on a successful migration
must not relabel files (because the destination would be crippled
by the relabel), cleanup of the destination on a failed migration
must not relabel files (because the source would be crippled).

If there's no hard_limit set and domain uses VFIO we still must lock the
guest memory (prerequisite from qemu). Hence, we should compute the
amount to be locked from max_balloon.
Since 16bcb3 we have a regression. The hard_limit is set
unconditionally. By default the limit is zero. Hence, if user hasn't
configured any, we set the zero in cgroup subsystem making the kernel
kill the corresponding qemu process immediately. The proper fix is to
set hard_limit iff user has configured any.
This function is to guess the correct limit for maximal memory
usage by qemu for given domain. This can never be guessed
correctly, not to mention all the pains and sleepless nights this
code has caused. Once somebody discovers algorithm to solve the
Halting Problem, we can compute the limit algorithmically. But
till then, this code should never see the light of the release
again.

Go through disks of guest, if one disk doesn't exist or its backing
chain is broken, with 'optional' startupPolicy, for CDROM and Floppy
we only discard its source path definition in xml, for disks we drop
it from disk list and free it.
This patch addresses two concerns with the error reporting when an
incompatible PCI address is specified for a device:
1) It wasn't always apparent which device had the problem. With this
patch applied, any error about an incompatible address will always
contain the full address as given in the config, so it will be easier
to determine which device's config aused the problem.
2) In some cases when the problem came from bad config, the error
message was erroneously classified as VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR. With
this patch applied, the same error message will be changed to indicate
either "internal" or "xml" error depending on whether the address came
from the config, or was automatically generated by libvirt.
Note that in the case of "internal" (due to bad auto-generation)
errors, the PCI address won't be of much use in finding the location
in config to change (because it was automatically generated). Of
course that makes perfect sense, but still the address could provide a
clue about a bug in libvirt attempting to use a type of pci bus that
doesn't have its flags set correctly (or something similar). In other
words, it's not perfect, but it is definitely better.
q35 machines have an implicit ahci (sata) controller at 00:1F.2 which
has no "id" associated with it. For this reason, we can't refer to it
as "ahci0". Instead, we don't give an id on the commandline, which
qemu interprets as "use the first ahci controller". We then need to
specify the unit with "unit=%d" rather than adding it onto the bus
arg.

Since 1.0.3 we are using the new way to copy non shared storage during
migration (the NBD way). However, whether the new or old way is used is
not controllable by user but unconditionally turned on if both sides of
migration support it. Moreover, the implementation is not complete: the
combination for VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED flag is missing (as we need to
open new port on the destination) in which case we just error out. This
is a deadly combination: not letting users choose their destiny and
erroring out. We should not do that but VIR_WARN and turn the NBD off
instead.
