c733e97323 docs: Fix XML schema handling of LUN address in hostdev tag
Defining a domain with a SCSI disk attached via a hostdev
tag and a source address unit value longer than two digits
causes an error when editing the domain with virsh edit,
even if no changes are made to the domain definition.
The error suggests invalid XML, somewhere:

  # virsh edit lmb_guest
  error: XML document failed to validate against schema:
  Unable to validate doc against /usr/local/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng
  Extra element devices in interleave
  Element domain failed to validate content

The virt-xml-validate tool fails with a similar error:

  # virt-xml-validate lmb_guest.xml
  Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
  lmb_guest.xml:17: element devices: Relax-NG validity error :
  Element domain failed to validate content
  lmb_guest.xml fails to validate

The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long.  Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits.  Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

  # lsscsi -xx
  [0:0:19:0x4022401100000000]  disk    IBM      2107900          3.44 /dev/sda
  # lsscsi
  [0:0:19:1074872354]disk    IBM      2107900          3.44  /dev/sda
  # cat lmb_guest.xml
  <domain type='kvm'>
    <name>lmb_guest</name>
    <memory unit='MiB'>1024</memory>
  ...trimmed...
    <devices>
      <controller type='scsi' model='virtio-scsi' index='0'/>
      <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
        <source>
          <adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
          <address bus='0' target='19' unit='1074872354'/>
        </source>
      </hostdev>
  ...trimmed...

Since the reference unit and target fields are used in
several places in the XML schema, create a separate one
specific for SCSI Logical Units that will permit the
greater length.  This permits both the validation utility
and the virsh edit command to succeed when a hostdev
tag is included.

208abbcbd7 docs: add domain vmport feature
A new feature that can be turned on or off.

The QEMU machine vmport option allows to set the VMWare IO port
emulation. This emulation is useful for absolute pointer input when the
guest has vmware input drivers, and is enabled by default for kvm.

However it is unnecessary for Spice-enabled VM, since the agent already
handles absolute pointer and multi-monitors. Furthermore, it prevents
Spice from switching to relative input since the regular ps/2 pointer
driver is replaced by the vmware driver. It is thus advised to disable
vmport when using a Spice VM. This will permit the Spice client to
switch from absolute to relative pointer, as it may be required for
certain games or applications.

93383c1ffa conf: Add new domain XML element 'iothreadids'
Adding a new XML element 'iothreadids' in order to allow defining
specific IOThread ID's rather than relying on the algorithm to assign
IOThread ID's starting at 1 and incrementing to iothreads count.

This will allow future patches to be able to add new IOThreads by
a specific iothread_id and of course delete any exisiting IOThread.

Each iothreadids element will have 'n' <iothread> children elements
which will have attribute "id".  The "id" will allow for definition
of any "valid" (eg > 0) iothread_id value.

On input, if any <iothreadids> <iothread>'s are provided, they will
be marked so that we only print out what we read in.

On input, if no <iothreadids> are provided, the PostParse code will
self generate a list of ID's starting at 1 and going to the number
of iothreads defined for the domain (just like the current algorithm
numbering scheme).  A future patch will rework the existing algorithm
to make use of the iothreadids list.

On output, only print out the <iothreadids> if they were read in.

Also, several people have complained that libvirt reports

create the file with qemu-img create -o backing_fmt=qcow2.

This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve

definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the

We're parsing memballoon status period as unsigned int, but when we're

Basically the same problem as commit e3a7b874 was dealing with when
updating live domain.

QEMU changed the accepted value to int64 in commit 1f9296b5, but even
values as INT_MAX don't make sense since the value passed means seconds.
Hence adding capability flag for this change isn't worth it.

cf521fc8ba memtune: change the way how we store unlimited value
There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user.  Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED.  Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.

Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong.  The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.

bbd3eb5098 conf: Don't mangle vcpu placement randomly
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170492

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:

 <vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

gets translated into this one:

 <vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

81ba2298b2 video: cleanup usage of vram attribute and update documentation
The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.

The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

401702d92e docs: Document NVRAM behavior on transient domains
Since 1.2.8 it's possible to use OVMF on domains. Moreover, it's
possible to have libvirt create NVRAM file per domain. Later,
when domain is undefined, the file is removed too. However,
things are a bit complicated when domain's transient. There's no
undefine to transient domains. There are two options: 1) leave
the file behind and let mgmt app remove it. 2) remove it
automatically as domain dies.
But, in some scenarios mgmt app may want to preserve the file,
copy it somewhere safe, and then copy it back when the domain is
starting again. And this wouldn't be possible with case 2). So,
even though case 1) leaves some files behind (possibly undeleted
for a long time), the files themselves are small (128K each). And
data loss is worse than full disk, isn't it?

17722c169c bhyve: Support /domain/bootloader configuration for non-FreeBSD guests.
We still default to bhyveloader(1) if no explicit bootloader
configuration is supplied in the domain.

If the /domain/bootloader looks like grub-bhyve and the user doesn't
supply /domain/bootloader_args, we make an intelligent guess and try
chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists,
under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source).

Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is
a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload
already assumes that the first disk should be booted.)

I've tested both HDD and CD boot and they seem to work.

07450cd429 conf: add trustGuestRxFilters attribute to network and domain interface
This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.

The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable

742b08e30f qemu: Automatically create NVRAM store
When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.

Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

68bf13dbef conf: Extend <loader/> and introduce <nvram/>
Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.

Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files

The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the

adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>.  Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit).  It also prepares to update persistent XML

9a212d6708 blockcopy: add more XML for state tracking
Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment.  In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job.  Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.

A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion.  But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job.  Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job.  Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.

Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

f1ac62f7ba doc: add domain to address of hostdev pci
libvirt supports pci domain already, so update the documentation.
Otherwise users who lookup the documentation for how to use hostdev may
miss the domain and encounter error when pass-through a pci device in a
domain other than 0.

2a48303800 doc: domain: Clarify that disk type 'lun' works with iSCSI too
Disk type 'lun' enables SCSI command passthrough for a disk. We stated
that it works only with "block" disks. Qemu supports it also when using
the iSCSI protocol.

3ba0469ce6 lxc network configuration allows setting target container NIC name
LXC network devices can now be assigned a custom NIC device name on the
container side. For example, this is configured with:

    <interface type='network'>
      <source network='default'/>
      <guest dev="eth1"/>
    </interface>

In this example the network card will appear as eth1 in the guest.

992000e6d8 conf, schema: add 'id' field for cells
In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result.  When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements.  With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field.  This will be useful when we have tuning settings for
particular guest NUMA node.

a14abd463a support for QEMU vhost-user
This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.

The XML looks like:

<interface type='vhostuser'>
    <mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1a'/>
    <source type='unix' path='/tmp/vhost.sock' mode='server'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
