In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror. Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front. This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
<mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
...
</disk>
For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing). The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase. If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

Rather than further overloading 'blockpull', I decided to create a
new virsh command to expose the new flags of virDomainBlockRebase.
Blocking until the command completes naturally is pointless, since
the block copy job is intended to run indefinitely. Instead, I
made the command support three --wait modes: by default, it runs until
mirroring is started; with --pivot, it pivots as soon as mirroring
is started; and with --finish, it aborts (for a clean copy) as
soon as mirroring is started.
* tools/virsh.c (VSH_CMD_BLOCK_JOB_COPY): New mode.
(blockJobImpl): Support new flags.
(cmdBlockCopy): New command.
(cmdBlockJob): Support new job info, new abort flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcopy, blockjob): Document the new command
and flags.
This patch introduces a new block job, useful for live storage
migration using pre-copy streaming. Justification for including
this under virDomainBlockRebase rather than adding a new command
includes: 1) there are now two possible block jobs in qemu, with
virDomainBlockRebase starting either type of command, and
virDomainBlockJobInfo and virDomainBlockJobAbort working to end
either type; 2) reusing this command allows distros to backport
this feature to the libvirt 0.9.10 API without a .so bump.
Note that a future patch may add a more powerful interface named
virDomainBlockJobCopy, dedicated to just the block copy job, in
order to expose even more options (such as setting an arbitrary
format type for the destination without having to probe it from a
pre-existing destination file); adding a new command for targetting
just block copy would be similar to how we already have
virDomainBlockPull for targetting just the block pull job.
Using a live VM with the backing chain:
base <- snap1 <- snap2
as the starting point, we have:
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY)
creates /path/to/copy with the same format as snap2, with no backing
file, so entire chain is copied and flattened
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW)
creates /path/to/copy as a raw file, so entire chain is copied and
flattened
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW)
creates /path/to/copy with the same format as snap2, but with snap1 as
a backing file, so only snap2 is copied.
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT)
reuse existing /path/to/copy (must have empty contents, and format is
probed[*] from the metadata), and copy the full chain
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT|
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW)
reuse existing /path/to/copy (contents must be identical to snap1,
and format is probed[*] from the metadata), and copy only the contents
of snap2
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT|
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW)
reuse existing /path/to/copy (must be raw volume with contents
identical to snap1), and copy only the contents of snap2
Less useful combinations:
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW|
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW)
fail if source is not raw, otherwise create /path/to/copy as raw and
the single file is copied (no chain involved)
- virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT|
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW)
makes little sense: the destination must be raw but have no contents,
meaning that it is an empty file, so there is nothing to reuse
The other three flags are rejected without VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY.
[*] Note that probing an existing file for its format can be a security
risk _if_ there is a possibility that the existing file is 'raw', in
which case the guest can manipulate the file to appear like some other
format. But, by virtue of the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW flag,
it is possible to avoid probing of raw files, at which point, probing
of any remaining file type is no longer a security risk.
It would be nice if we could issue an event when pivoting from phase 1
to phase 2, but qemu hasn't implemented that, and we would have to poll
in order to synthesize it ourselves. Meanwhile, qemu will give us a
distinct job info and completion event when we either cancel or pivot
to end the job. Pivoting is accomplished via the new:
virDomainBlockJobAbort(dom, disk, VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_PIVOT)
Management applications can pre-create the copy with a relative
backing file name, and use the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT
flag to have qemu reuse the metadata; if the management application
also copies the backing files to a new location, this can be used
to perform live storage migration of an entire backing chain.

virThreadSelf tries to access the virThreadPtr stored in TLS for the
current thread via TlsGetValue. When virThreadSelf is called on a thread
that was not created via virThreadCreate (e.g. the main thread) then
TlsGetValue returns NULL as TlsAlloc initializes TLS slots to NULL.
virThreadSelf can be called on the main thread via this call chain from
virsh
vshDeinit
virEventAddTimeout
virEventPollAddTimeout
virEventPollInterruptLocked
virThreadIsSelf
triggering a segfault as virThreadSelf unconditionally dereferences the

Fix this by making virThreadSelf check the TLS slot value for NULL and
setting the given virThreadPtr accordingly.

POSIX says that sa_sigaction is only safe to use if sa_flags
includes SA_SIGINFO; conversely, sa_handler is only safe to

if SA_SIGINFO is undefined, we can safely define it to 0 as
long as we don't dereference the 2nd or 3rd argument of
any handler otherwise registered via sa_sigaction.

DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and
provides such glue logic itself.
The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a
dbus connection with event loop integration. Thus we need
to pull the current event loop glue out of the HAL driver.
Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
automagically setup.

Currently upon a migration a callback is created when a 802.1qbg link

I'm tired of shell-scripting to wait for completion of a block pull,
when virsh can be taught to do the same. I couldn't quite reuse
vshWatchJob, as this is not a case of a long-running command where
a second thread must be used to probe job status (at least, not unless
I make virsh start doing blocking waits for an event to fire), but it
served as inspiration for my simpler single-threaded loop. There is
up to a half-second delay between sending SIGINT and the job being
aborted, but I didn't think it worth the complexity of a second thread
and use of poll() just to minimize that delay.

<filesystemtgt> is redundant, as every group uses it; <address>
shouldn't be in <filesystemtgt> in case of the meaning could be
"filesystemtarget"; The elements <address>, <alias>, <target>,
... should be interleaved.
So that a domain xml which doesn't have "placement" specified, but
"cpuset" is specified, could be parsed. And in this case, the
"placement" mode will be set as "static".
Since now we have fixed domain UUID for test driver, defining
a domain with different name but same UUID doesn't work any
more. This patch delete the UUID from the dumped XML so that
it could be generated.
The objects (domain, pool, network, etc) for testing are defined/
started each time when opening a connect to test driver, and thus
the UUID for the objects will be generated each time, with different
values. e.g.
% for i in {1..3}; do ./tools/virsh --connect \
test:///default dumpxml test | grep uuid; done
<uuid>a1b6ee1f-97de-f0ee-617a-0cdb74947df5</uuid>

<uuid>fecb1d3a-918a-8412-e534-76192cf32b18</uuid>
It's the potential bug which can cause operations like below to fail:
$ virsh -c test:///default dumpxml test > test.xml
[ Some modificatons, though it's not supported, but it should work ]
$ virsh -c test:///default define test.xml
This patch set fixed UUID for objects which support it. (domain,
pool, network).
A "ide-drive" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
Upstream qemu splitted "ide-drive" into "ide-hd" and "ide-cd"
since commit 1f56e32, and ",media=cdrom" is not required for
ide-cd anymore. "ide-drive" is still supported for backwards
compatibility, but no doubt we should go foward.
A "scsi-disk" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
But upstream qemu splitted "scsi-disk" into "scsi-hd" and
"scsi-cd" since commit b443ae, and ",media=cdrom" is not
required for scsi-cd anymore. "scsi-disk" is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but no doubt we should go
foward.

When using the xm/xend stack to manage instances there is a bug
that causes the emulated interfaces to be unusable when the vif
config contains type=ioemu.
The current code already has a special quirk to not use this
keyword if no specific model is given for the emulated NIC
(defaulting to rtl8139).
Essentially it works because regardless of the type argument,i
the Xen stack always creates emulated and paravirt interfaces and
lets the guest decide which one to use. So neither xl nor xm stack
actually require the type keyword for emulated NICs.

'omitted' was mispelt 'commited' twice. One of the sentences with
the typo was also missing an 'is' ('each VCPU *is* pinned to all...')

Currently, we have 3 boolean arguments we have to pass
to qemuProcessStart(). As libvirt grows it is harder and harder
to remember them and their position. Therefore we should
switch to flags instead.
lvcreate want's the parent pool's name, not the pool path
lvchange and lvremove want lv specified as $vgname/$lvname

As explained in previous patch, numad will balance the affinity
dynamically, so reflecting the cpuset from numad at the first
time doesn't make much case, and may just could cause confusion.
Instead of returning a CPUs list, numad returns NUMA node
list instead, this patch is to convert the node list to
cpumap before affinity setting. Otherwise, the domain
processes will be pinned only to CPU[$numa_cell_num],
which will cause significiant performance losses.
Also because numad will balance the affinity dynamically,
reflecting the cpuset from numad back doesn't make much
sense then, and it may just could produce confusion for
the users. Thus the better way is not to reflect it back
to XML. And in this case, it's better to ignore the cpuset
when parsing XML.
The codes to update the cpuset is removed in this patch
incidentally, and there will be a follow up patch to ignore
the manually specified "cpuset" if "placement" is "auto",
and document will be updated too.
The linux-2.6.32 kernel header does not yet define IFLA_VF_MAX and others,
