When starting a VM, /var/log/messages was spammed with the following message:
xt_physdev: using --physdev-out in the OUTPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains for non-bridged traffic is not supported anymore.
With each extra VM I start, the messages get amplified
exponentially. This results in longer starting times every new VM,
relative the the previously started VM. When I ran a test with
starting 100 equal VM's, the first VM started in about 2 seconds, the
100th VM took 48 seconds to start. I'm running a vanilla 3.7.1 kernel,
but I have the same issue on VM hosts with kernel 3.2.28 or 3.2.0,
running libvirt 0.9.12 and 0.9.8 respectively.
Looking into the warning, it seemed that iptables need an extra argument,
--physdev-is-bridged, in commands like:
iptables -A libvirt-out -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged --physdev-out vnet99 -g FP-vnet99
With that, the warnings in /var/log/messages are gone and running the
test again proved the 100th VM started in 3.8 seconds.

The symptom was that attempts to modify a network device using
virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() would fail if the original device had a
<boot> element (e.g. "<boot order='1'/>"), even if the updated device
had the same <boot> element. Instead, the following error would be logged:
cannot modify network device boot index setting
It's true that it's not possible to change boot order (internally
known as bootIndex) of a live device; qemuDomainChangeNet checks for
that, but the problem was that the information it was checking was
incorrect.
Explanation:
When a complete domain is parsed, a global (to the domain) "bootMap"
is passed down to the parse for each device; the bootMap is used to
make sure that devices don't have conflicting settings for their boot
orders.
When a single device is parsed by itself (as in the case of
virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags), there is no global bootMap that would be
appropriate to send, so NULL is sent instead. However, although the
lowest level function that parses just the boot order *does* simply
skip the sanity check in that case, the next higher level
"virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML" function refuses to call down to the
lower "virDomainDeviceBootParseXML" if bootMap is NULL. So, the boot
order is never set in the "new" device object, and when it is compared
to the original (which does have a boot order), they don't match.
The fix is to patch virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML to not care about
bootMap, and just always call virDomainDeviceInfoBootParseXML whenever
there is a <boot> element. When we are only parsing a single device,
we don't care whether or not any specified boot order is consistent
with the rest of the domain; we will always do this check later (in
the current case, we do it by verifying that the net bootIndex exactly
matches the old bootIndex).
The bandwidth plug and unplug functions were assuming that an
interface's bandwidth setting was always specified directly in the
domain's <interface> definition, but that's not necessarily true - it
could have been obtained from a <portgroup> definition in the network
definition. This patch fixes those functions to use
virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(), which gets the bandwidth pointer
from iface->data.network.actual if it exists, otherwise returns
iface->bandwidth.
Remove extraneous check for 'netdef' when dereferencing for vlan.nTags.
Prior code would already check if netdef was NULL.
Coverity complained about a path where the 'vlan' was potentially valid,
but a prior checks may not have allocated 'iface->data.network.actual',
so like other paths it needs to be allocated on the fly.
Move the copying of vlan up earlier in networkAllocateActualDevice, so
that actual.type gets properly set.
Since the first assignment to vlan is redundant except in the case of
jumping immediately to validate from the start of the function,
eliminate its initial setting at the top of the function in favor of
calling the helper function virDomainNetGetActualVlan() (which doesn't
depend on the local vlan pointer being initialized) down at validate:

The QEMU driver default max port is 65535, but it then increments
this by 1 to 65536. This maps to 0 in an unsigned short :-( This
was apparently done so that for() loops could use "< max" instead
of "<= max". Remove this insanity and just make the loop do the
right thing.
that broke the build like:
CC libvirt_conf_la-domain_conf.lo
conf/domain_conf.c: In function 'virDomainVcpuPinAdd':
conf/domain_conf.c:11920:29: error: 'vpcupin' undeclared (first use in this function)
conf/domain_conf.c:11920:29: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[3]: *** [libvirt_conf_la-domain_conf.lo] Error 1
Commit dfa1e1dd added functions whose definitions do not conform
to the style used in the libxl driver. Change these functions to
be consistent throughout the driver.
In commit c4bbaaf8, caps->arch was checked uninitialized, rendering the
whole check useless.
This patch moves the conditional setting of QEMU_CAPS_NO_ACPI to
qemuCapsInitQMP, and removes the no longer needed exception for S390.
It also clears the flag for all non-x86 archs instead of just S390 in
qemuCapsInitHelp.
The virDomainObj, qemuAgent, qemuMonitor, lxcMonitor classes
all require a mutex, so can be switched to use virObjectLockable

Check status when attempting to set SO_REUSEADDR flag on outgoing connection
On failure, VIR_WARN(), but continue to connect. This code path is on the
sender side where the setting is just a hint and would only take effect if
the sender is overflowed with TCP connections. Inability to set doesn't mean
failure to establish a connection.
In virLockSpaceProtocolDispatchNew() the returned value of lockspace from
virLockDaemonFindLockSpace() is overwritten by the virLockSpaceNew() return.
Coverity complains that it's unused.
In virLockSpaceProtocolDispatchCreateLockSpace() lockspace is also overwritten
in a similar manner resulting in the same Coverity message.
After live change of cpu counts, the number of processor threads is
verified. This patch makes use of this approach to check if qemu ignored
the request for cpu hot-unplug and report an appropriate message.
A great many virObject instances require a mutex, so introduce
a convenient class for this which provides a mutex. This avoids
repeating the tedious init/destroy code

Currently all classes must directly inherit from virObject.
This allows for arbitrarily deep hierarchy. There's not much
to this aside from chaining up the 'dispose' handlers from
each class & providing APIs to check types.

Make cpuset local to the while loop and free it once done with it each
time through the loop. Add a sa_assert() to virBitmapParse() to keep Coverity
from believing there could be a negative return and possible resource leak.
