lxcProcessSetupInterfaces() used to have a special case for
actualType='network' (a network with forward mode of route, nat, or
isolated) to call the libvirt public API to retrieve the bridge being
used by a network. That is no longer necessary - since all network
types that use a bridge and tap device now get the bridge name stored
in the ActualNetDef, we can just always use
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName() instead.
qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() used to have a special case for
actualType='network' (a network with forward mode of route, nat, or
isolated) to call the libvirt public API to retrieve the bridge being
used by a network. That is no longer necessary - since all network
types that use a bridge and tap device now get the bridge name stored
in the ActualNetDef, we can just always use
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName() instead.
(an audit of the two callers to qemuNetworkIfaceConnect() confirms
that it is never called for any other type of network, so the dead
code in the else statement (logging an internal error if it is called
for any other type of network) is eliminated in the process.)
When libvirt is managing the MAC table of a Linux host bridge, it must
turn off learning and unicast_flood for each tap device attached to
that bridge, then add a Forwarding Database (fdb) entry for the tap
device using the MAC address from the domain interface config.
Once we have disabled learning and flooding, any packet that has a
destination MAC address not present in the fdb will be dropped by the
bridge. This, along with the opportunistic disabling of promiscuous
mode[*], can result in enhanced network performance. and a potential
slight security improvement.
[*] If there is only one device on the bridge with learning/unicast_flood
enabled, then that device will automatically have promiscuous mode
disabled. If there are *no* devices with learning/unicast_flood
enabled (e.g. for a libvirt "route", "nat", or isolated network that
has no physical device attached), then all non-tap devices will have
promiscuous mode disabled (tap devices always have promiscuous mode
enabled, which may be a bug in the kernel, but in practice has 0
effect).
None of this has any effect for kernels prior to 3.15 (upstream kernel
commit 2796d0c648c940b4796f84384fbcfb0a2399db84 "bridge: Automatically
manage port promiscuous mode"). Even after that, until kernel 3.17
(upstream commit 5be5a2df40f005ea7fb7e280e87bbbcfcf1c2fc0 "bridge: Add
filtering support for default_pvid") traffic will not be properly
forwarded without manually adding vlan table entries. Unfortunately,
although the presence of the first patch is signalled by existence of
the "learning" and "unicast_flood" options in sysfs, there is no
reliable way to query whether or not the system's kernel has the
second of those patches installed, the only thing that can be done is
to try the setting and see if traffic continues to pass.
When the bridge device for a network has macTableManager='libvirt' the
intent is that all kernel management of the bridge's MAC table
(Forwarding Database, or fdb, in the case of a Linux Host Bridge) be
disabled, with libvirt handling updates to the table instead. The
setup required for the bridge itself is:
1) set the "vlan_filtering" property of the bridge device to 1.
2) If the bridge has a "Dummy" tap device used to set a fixed MAC
address on the bridge (which is always the case for a bridge created
by libvirt, and never the case for a bridge created by the host system
network config), turn off learning and unicast_flood on this tap (this
is needed even though this tap is never IFF_UP, because the kernel
ignores the IFF_UP flag of devices when using their settings to
automatically decide whether or not to turn off promiscuous mode for
any attached device).
(1) is done both for libvirt-created/managed bridges, and for bridges
that are created by the host system config, while (2) is done only for
bridges created by libvirt (i.e. for forward modes of nat, routed, and
isolated bridges)
There is no attempt to turn vlan_filtering off when destroying the
network because in the case of a libvirt-created bridge, the bridge is
about to be destroyed anyway, and in the case of a system bridge, if
the other devices attached to the bridge could operate properly before
destroying libvirt's network object, they will continue to operate
properly (this is similar to the way that libvirt will enable
ip_forwarding whenever a routed/natted network is started, but will
never attempt to disable it if they are stopped).
At the time that the network driver allocates a connection to a
network, the tap device that will be used hasn't yet been created -
that will be done later by qemu (or lxc or whoever) - but if the
network has macTableManager='libvirt', then when we do get around to
creating the tap device, we will need to add an entry for it to the
network bridge's fdb (forwarding database) *and* turn off learning and
unicast_flood for that tap device in the bridge's sysfs settings. This
means that qemu needs to know both the bridge name as well as the
setting of macTableManager, so we either need to create a new API to
retrieve that info, or just pass it back in the ActualNetDef that is
created during networkAllocateActualDevice. We choose the latter
method, since it's already done for the bridge device, and it has the
side effect of making the information available in domain status.
(NB: in the future, I think that the tap device should actually be
created by networkAllocateActualDevice(), as that will solve several
other problems, but that is a battle for another day, and this
information will still be useful outside the network driver)
When the actualType of a virDomainNetDef is "network", it means that
we are connecting to a libvirt-managed network (routed, natted, or
isolated) which does use a bridge device (created by libvirt). In the
past we have required drivers such as qemu to call the public API to
retrieve the bridge name in this case (even though it is available in
the NetDef's ActualNetDef if the actualType is "bridge" (i.e., an
externally-created bridge that isn't managed by libvirt). There is no
real reason for this difference, and as a matter of fact it
complicates things for qemu. Also, there is another bridge-related
attribute (macTableManager) that will need to be available in both
cases, so this makes things consistent.
In order to avoid problems when restarting libvirtd after an update
from an older version that *doesn't* store the network's bridgename in
the ActualNetDef, we also need to put it in place during
networkNotifyActualDevice() (this function is run for each interface
of each domain whenever libvirtd is restarted).
Along with making the bridge name available in the internal object, it
is also now reported in the <source> element of the <interface> state
XML (or the <actual> subelement in the internally-stored format).
The one oddity about this change is that usually there is a separate
union for every different "type" in a higher level object (e.g. in the
case of a virDomainNetDef there are separate "network" and "bridge"
members of the union that pivots on the type), but in this case
network and bridge types both have exactly the same attributes, so the
"bridge" member is used for both type==network and type==bridge.
The macTableManager attribute of a network's bridge subelement tells
libvirt how the bridge's MAC address table (used to determine the
egress port for packets) is managed. In the default mode, "kernel",
management is left to the kernel, which usually determines entries in
part by turning on promiscuous mode on all ports of the bridge,
flooding packets to all ports when the correct destination is unknown,
and adding/removing entries to the fdb as it sees incoming traffic
from particular MAC addresses. In "libvirt" mode, libvirt turns off
learning and flooding on all the bridge ports connected to guest
domain interfaces, and adds/removes entries according to the MAC
addresses in the domain interface configurations. A side effect of
turning off learning and unicast_flood on the ports of a bridge is
that (with Linux kernel 3.17 and newer), the kernel can automatically
turn off promiscuous mode on one or more of the bridge's ports
(usually only the one interface that is used to connect the bridge to
the physical network). The result is better performance (because
packets aren't being flooded to all ports, and can be dropped earlier
when they are of no interest) and slightly better security (a guest
can still send out packets with a spoofed source MAC address, but will
only receive traffic intended for the guest interface's configured MAC
address).
The attribute looks like this in the configuration:
<network>
<name>test</name>
<bridge name='br0' macTableManager='libvirt'/>
...
This patch only adds the config knob, documentation, and test
cases. The functionality behind this knob is added in later patches.
These two functions use netlink RTM_NEWNEIGH and RTM_DELNEIGH messages
to add and delete entries from a bridge's fdb. The bridge itself is
not referenced in the arguments to the functions, only the name of the
device that is attached to the bridge (since a device can only be
attached to one bridge at a time, and must be attached for this
function to make sense, the kernel easily infers which bridge's fdb is
being modified by looking at the device name/index).
I'm about to make block stats optionally more complex to cover

If probing capabilities via QMP fails, we now have a check
that prevents us falling back to -help parsing. Unfortunately
the error message
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
unsupported configuration: QEMU 2.1.2 is too new for help parsing"
is proving rather unhelpful to the user. We need to be telling
them why QMP failed (the root cause), rather than they can't
use -help (the side effect).
To do this we should capture stderr during QMP probing, and
if -help parsing then sees a new QEMU version, we know that
QMP should have worked, and so we can show the messages from
stderr. The message thus becomes
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
internal error: QEMU / QMP failed: Could not access
KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory"
When attempting to create internal system checkpoint with a passthrough
device qemu will report the following error:
error: operation failed: Error -22 while writing VM
This patch calls the function to check if migration is possible with
given VM and thus improves the error to:

If someone removes blockcopy storage file when still in mirroring phase
and then requesting blockjob abort using pivot, virsh cmd freezes. This
is not an issue with older qemu versions which did not support
asynchronous jobs (which we prefer by default).
As we have reached the mirroring phase successfully, polling monitor for
blockjob info always returns 1 and the loop never ends.
This fix introduces a check for qemuDomainBlockPivot return code, possibly
skipping the asynchronous waiting completely, if an error occurred and
asynchronous waiting was the preferred method.

Reconnect to the VM is a possibly long-running job spawned in a separate
thread. We should reload the snapshot defs and managedsave state prior
to spawning the thread to avoid blocking of the daemon startup which
would serialize on the VM lock.
Also the reloading code would violate the domain job held while
reconnecting as the loader functions don't create jobs.
Coverity pointed out that in other places we always check the return
value from virJSONValueObjectGetNumberLong() but not in the new addition

This patch enables the helper program to detect event(s) triggered when
there is a change in lease length or expiry and client-id. This
transfers complete control of leases database to libvirt and obsoletes
use of the lease database file (<network-name>.leases). That file will
not be created, read, or written. This is achieved by adding the option
--leasefile-ro to dnsmasq and passing a custom env var to leaseshelper,
which helps us map events related to leases with their corresponding
network bridges, no matter what the event be.
Also, this requires the addition of a new non-lease entry in our custom
lease database: "server-duid". It is required to identify a DHCPv6
server.
Now that dnsmasq doesn't maintain its own leases database, it relies on
our helper program to tell it about previous leases and server duid.
Thus, this patch makes our leases program honor an extra action: "init",
in which it sends the known info in a particular format to dnsmasq
by printing it to stdout.
The drawback of this change is that upgrade to this new approach does
not transfer the existing leases for the network if the leaseshelper
wasn't already used.
For Intel and PowerPC the implementation is calling a cpu driver
function across driver layers (i.e. from qemu driver directly to cpu
driver).
The correct behavior is to use libvirt API functionality to perform such
a inter-driver call.
This patch introduces a new cpu driver API function getModels() to
retrieve the cpu models. The currect implementation to process the
cpu_map XML content is transferred to the INTEL and PowerPC cpu driver
specific API functions.
Additionally processing the cpu_map XML file is not safe due to the fact
that the cpu map does not exist for all architectures. Therefore it is
better to encapsulate the processing in the architecture specific cpu
drivers.

Based on previous commit, we can now precreate missing volumes. While
digging out the functionality from storage driver would be nicer, if
you've seen the code it's nearly impossible. So I'm going from the
other end:
1) For given disk target, disk path is looked up.
2) For the disk path, storage pool is looked up, a volume XML is
constructed and then passed to virStorageVolCreateXML() which has all
the knowledge how to create raw images, (encrypted) qcow(2) images,
etc.
One of the advantages of this approach is, we don't have to care about
image conversion - qemu does that for us. So for instance, users can
transform qcow2 into raw on migration (if the correct XML is passed to
