-vnc :5900,share=allow-exclusive
allows clients to ask for exclusive access which is
implemented by dropping other connections Connecting
multiple clients in parallel requires all clients asking
for a shared session (vncviewer: -shared switch)
-vnc :5900,share=force-shared
disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared
desktop sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting
specify -shared disconnect everybody else.
-vnc :5900,share=ignore
completely ignores the shared flag and allows everybody
connect unconditionally
Introduce use of a virDomainDefPtr in the domain lookup
APIs to simplify introduction of ACL security checks.
The virDomainPtr cannot be safely used, since the app
may have supplied mis-matching name/uuid/id fields. eg
the name points to domain X, while the uuid points to
domain Y. Resolving the virDomainPtr to a virDomainDefPtr
ensures a consistent name/uuid/id set.

QEMU might support more values for "-drive discard", so using Bi-state
values (on/off) for it doesn't make sense.
"on" maps to "unmap", "off" maps to "ignore":
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
The following XML configuration can be used to request all domain's
memory pages to be kept locked in host's memory (i.e., domain's memory
pages will not be swapped out):
<memoryBacking>
<locked/>
</memoryBacking>
The reason for it's not exposed for such long time is that the
enums for VirtioEventIdx and CopyOnReadType have same enum values
and Correspondingstrings. This fixes the bug and adds test.
If the <sysinfo> system table 'uuid' field is improperly formatted,
then qemu will fail to start the guest with the error:
virsh start dom
error: Failed to start domain dom
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: Invalid SMBIOS UUID string
This was because the parsing rules were lax with respect to allowing extraneous
spaces and dashes in the provided UUID. As long as there were 32 hexavalues
that matched the UUID for the domain the string was accepted. However startup
failed because the string format wasn't correct. This patch will adjust the
string format so that when it's presented to the driver it's in the expected
format.
Added a test for uuid comparison within sysinfo.
QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53,
<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>
This patch exposes the support in libvirt.
QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0:
% git tag --contains a9384aff53
contains
v1.5.0-rc0
v1.5.0-rc1
So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.
Adding support for new attribute 'websocket' in the '<graphics>'
element, the attribute value is the port to listen on with '-1'
meaning auto-allocation, '0' meaning no websockets.
QEMU introduced command line "-mem-merge=on|off" (defaults to on) to
enable/disable the memory merge (KSM) at guest startup. This exposes
it by new XML:
<memoryBacking>
<nosharepages/>
</memoryBacking>
The XML tag is same with what we used internally for old RHEL.
The <filesystem> element can now accept a <driver type='nbd'/>
as an alternative to 'loop'. The benefit of NBD is support
for non-raw disk image formats.

Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to
allow a storage format to be set. The new attribute
uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is
different from the <driver> element in disk devices
which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This
is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices
is already used for the driver backend, for which the
disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh.
Anyway for disks we have
<driver name="qemu" type="raw"/>
And for filesystems this change means we now have
<driver type="loop" format="raw"/>

An example of the scsi hostdev XML:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='4' unit='8'/>
</hostdev>
Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.
The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let
libvirt generate it automatically.
This only introduces the generic XMLs for scsi hostdev, later patches
will add other elements, e.g. <readonly>, <shareable>.

Several APIs allow for custom XML to be passed in. This is
checked for ABI stability, which will ensure the UUID is
not being changed. There isn't validation that the name
did not change though. This could allow renaming of guests
via the backdoor, which in turn could allow for bypassing
access control restrictions based on names.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
It's not desired to force users imagine path for a socket they
are not even supposed to connect to. On the other hand, we
already have a release where the qemu agent socket path is
exposed to XML, so we cannot silently drop it from there.
The new path is generated in form:
$LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/$domain.$name
for qemu system mode, and
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/lib/channel/target/$domain.$name
for qemu session mode.
This isn't strictly speaking a bugfix, but I realized I'd gotten a bit
too verbose when I chose the names for
VIR_DOMAIN_HOSTDEV_PCI_BACKEND_TYPE_*. This shortens them all a bit.
A domain's <interface> or <hostdev>, as well as a <network>'s
<forward>, can now have an optional <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
element. As of this patch, there is no functionality behind this new
knob - this patch adds support to the domain and network
formatter/parser, and to the RNG and documentation.
When the backend is added, legacy KVM PCI device assignment will
continue to be used when no driver name is specified (or if <driver
name='kvm'/> is specified), but if driver name is 'vfio', the new UEFI
Secure Boot compatible VFIO device assignment will be used.
Note that the parser doesn't automatically insert the current default
value of this setting. This is done on purpose because the two
possibilities are functionally equivalent from the guest's point of
view, and we want to be able to automatically start using vfio as the
default (even for existing domains) at some time in the future. This
is similar to what was done with the "vhost" driver option in
<interface>.
There will soon be other items related to pci hostdevs that need to be
in the same part of the hostdevsubsys union as the pci address (which
is currently a single member called "pci". This patch replaces the
single member named pci with a struct named pci that contains a single
member named "addr".
When all usb controllers connected to the same bus have <master
startport='x'/> specified, none of them have 'id=usb' assigned and
thus qemu fails due to invalid masterport specification (we use 'usb'
for that purpose). Adding a check that at least one of the
controllers is specified without <master startport='x'/> and in case
this happens, error out due to invalid configuration.
<controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/>
is auto-added to pc* machine types.
Without this controller PCI bus 0 is not available and
no PCI addresses are assigned by default.
Since older libvirt supported PCI bus 0 even without
this controller, it is removed from the XML when migrating.
Now we set the default disk driver name when parsing
the qemu command line too, hence all the test changes.
Assume format type is 'auto' when none is specified on
qemu command line.
For pSeries guest in QEMU, NVRAM is one kind of spapr-vio device.
Users are allowed to specify spapr-vio devices'address.
But NVRAM is not supported in libvirt. So this patch is to
add NVRAM device to allow users to specify its address.
In QEMU, NVRAM device's address is specified by
"-global spapr-nvram.reg=xxxxx".
In libvirt, XML file is defined as the following:
<nvram>
<address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x3000'/>
</nvram>

This patch adds the ability to configure non-contiguous boot orders on boot
devices. This allows unplugging devices that have boot order specified without
breaking migration.
The new code now uses a slightly less memory efficient approach to store the
boot order fields in a hashtable instead of a bitmap.

Currently, we are discarding listen attribute from qemu cookie even though
we strive to gather it. This result in not so cool bug: if user have
different networks, one for management/migration, and one for VNC/SPICE we
pass incorrect host to the qemu in client_migrate_info. What we actually
pass is remote hostname, while we should be passing remote listen address.
It doesn't matter as long as these two are the same, but they don't need
necessary to be like that.
