For now, disk migration via block copy job is not implemented in
libvirt. But when we do implement it, we have to deal with the
fact that qemu does not yet provide an easy way to re-start a qemu
process with mirroring still intact. Paolo has proposed an idea
for a persistent dirty bitmap that might make this possible, but
until that design is complete, it's hard to say what changes
libvirt would need. Even something like 'virDomainSave' becomes
hairy, if you realize the implications that 'virDomainRestore'
would be stuck with recreating the same mirror layout.
But if we step back and look at the bigger picture, we realize that
the initial client of live storage migration via disk mirroring is
oVirt, which always uses transient domains, and that if a transient
domain is destroyed while a mirror exists, oVirt can easily restart
the storage migration by creating a new domain that visits just the
source storage, with no loss in data.
We can make life a lot easier by being cowards for now, forbidding
certain operations on a domain. This patch guarantees that we
never get in a state where we would have to restart a domain with
a mirroring block copy, by preventing saves, snapshots, migration,
hot unplug of a disk in use, and conversion to a persistent domain
(thankfully, it is still relatively easy to 'virsh undefine' a
running domain to temporarily make it transient, run tests on
'virsh blockcopy', then 'virsh define' to restore the persistence).
Later, if the qemu design is enhanced, we can relax our code.
The change to qemudDomainDefine looks a bit odd for undoing an
assignment, rather than probing up front to avoid the assignment,
but this is because of how virDomainAssignDef combines both a
lookup and assignment into a single function call.

Upstream qemu 1.3 is adding two new monitor commands, 'drive-mirror'
and 'block-job-complete'[1], which can drive live block copy and
storage migration. [Additionally, RHEL 6.3 had backported an earlier
version of most of the same functionality, but under the names
'__com.redhat_drive-mirror' and '__com.redhat_drive-reopen' and with
slightly different JSON arguments, and has been using patches similar
to these upstream patches for several months now.]
The libvirt API virDomainBlockRebase as already committed for 0.9.12
is flexible enough to expose the basics of block copy, but some
additional features in the 'drive-mirror' qemu command, such as
setting error policy, setting granularity, or using a persistent
bitmap, may later require a new libvirt API virDomainBlockCopy. I
will wait to add that API until we know more about what qemu 1.3
will finally provide.
This patch caters only to the upstream qemu 1.3 interface, although
I have proven that the changes for RHEL 6.3 can be isolated to
just qemu_monitor_json.c, and the rest of this series will
gracefully handle either interface once the JSON differences are
papered over in a downstream patch.
For consistency with other block job commands, libvirt must handle
the bandwidth argument as MiB/sec from the user, even though qemu
exposes the speed argument as bytes/sec; then again, qemu rounds
up to cluster size internally, so using MiB hides the worst effects
of that rounding if you pass small numbers.

This resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862515
which describes inconsistencies in dealing with duplicate mac
addresses on network devices in a domain.
(at any rate, it resolves *almost* everything, and prints out an
informative error message for the one problem that isn't solved, but
has a workaround.)
A synopsis of the problems:
1) you can't do a persistent attach-interface of a device with a mac
address that matches an existing device.
2) you *can* do a live attach-interface of such a device.
3) you *can* directly edit a domain and put in two devices with
matching mac addresses.
4) When running virsh detach-device (live or config), only MAC address
is checked when matching the device to remove, so the first device
with the desired mac address will be removed. This isn't always the
one that's wanted.
5) when running virsh detach-interface (live or config), the only two
items that can be specified to match against are mac address and model
type (virtio, etc) - if multiple netdevs match both of those
attributes, it again just finds the first one added and assumes that
is the only match.
Since it is completely valid to have multiple network devices with the
same MAC address (although it can cause problems in many cases, there
*are* valid use cases), what is needed is:
1) remove the restriction that prohibits doing a persistent add of a
netdev with a duplicate mac address.
2) enhance the backend of virDomainDetachDeviceFlags to check for
something that *is* guaranteed unique (but still work with just mac
address, as long as it yields only a single results.
This patch does three things:
1) removes the check for duplicate mac address during a persistent
netdev attach.
2) unifies the searching for both live and config detach of netdevices
in the subordinate functions of qemuDomainModifyDeviceFlags() to use the
new function virDomainNetFindIdx (which matches mac address and PCI
address if available, checking for duplicates if only mac address was
specified). This function returns -2 if multiple matches are found,
allowing the callers to print out an appropriate message.
Steps 1 & 2 are enough to fully fix the problem when using virsh
attach-device and detach-device (which require an XML description of
the device rather than a bunch of commandline args)
3) modifies the virsh detach-interface command to check for multiple
matches of mac address and show an error message suggesting use of the
detach-device command in cases where there are multiple matching mac
addresses.
Later we should decide how we want to input a PCI address on the virsh
commandline, and enhance detach-interface to take a --address option,
eliminating the need to use detach-device

It turns out that the cpuacct results properly account for offline
cpus, and always returns results for every possible cpu, not just
the online ones. So there is no need to check the map of online
cpus in the first place, merely only a need to know the maximum
possible cpu. Meanwhile, virNodeGetCPUBitmap had a subtle change
from returning the maximum id to instead returning the width of
the bitmap (one larger than the maximum id) in commit 2f4c5338,
which made this code encounter some off-by-one logic leading to
bad error messages when a cpu was offline:

We always expose individual bits from flags as separate options rather
than exposing a raw flags options. Since virNodeSuspendForDuration does
not currently support any flags, the only way of using this --flags

omitting the option. Thus it is highly unlikely anyone would actually be
using it and removing it should be safe.

This commit changes the behavior of LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 libvirtd:

Automatically enable systemd journal logging
Probe to see if the systemd journal is accessible, and if
so enable logging to the journal by default, rather than
stderr (current default under systemd).
Previously 'LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd' would show all debug
output to stderr, now it send debug output to the journal.
Only use the journal by default if running in daemon mode, or
if stdin is _not_ a tty. This should make libvirtd launched from
systemd use the journal, but preserve the old behavior in most
situations.
This was found during testing of the fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868483
networkValidate was supposed to check for the existence of multiple
portgroups and report an error if this was encountered. It did, but
there were two problems:
1) even though it logged an error, it still returned success, allowing
the operation to continue.
2) It could exit the portgroup checking loop early (or possibly not
even do it once) if a vlan tag was supplied in the base network config
or one of the portgroups.
This patch fixes networkValidate to return failure in addition to
logging the error, and also changes it to not exit the portgroup
checking loop early. The logic was a bit off in the checking for vlan
anyway, and it's intertwined with fixing the early loop exit, so I
fixed that as well. Now it correctly checks for combinations where a
<virtualport> is specified in the base network def and <vlan> is given
in a portgroup, as well as the opposite (<vlan> in base network def
and <virtualport> in portgroup), and ignores the case of a disallowed
vlan when using *no* portgroup if there is a default portgroup (since
in that case there is no way to not use any portgroup).

except:

sys.exit(1)
print 'CPUs total %d, online %d' % (cpus, online)
print 'CPU map %s' % str(cpumap)

Callers should not need to know what the name of the file to
be read in the Linux-specific version of nodeGetCPUmap;
furthermore, qemu cares about online cpus, not present cpus,
when determining which cpus to skip.

online cpu id by doing a slow iteration, when what we really want
to know is the max available cpu.

Update documentation to mention vSphere 5.x support.
Qemu has added some new feature flags. This patch adds them to libvirt.
The new features are for the cpuid function 0x7 that takes an argument
in the ecx register. Currently only 0x0 is used as the argument so I was
lazy and I just clear the registers to 0 before calling cpuid. In future
when there maybe will be some other possible arguments, we will need to
improve the cpu detection code to take this into account.
On one hand, numad probably will manage the affinity of domain process
dynamically in future. On the other hand, even numad won't manage it,
it still could confusion. Let's make things simpler enough to avoid
the lair for now.
When the cpu placement model is "auto", it sets the affinity for
domain process with the advisory nodeset from numad, however,
creating cgroup for the domain process (called emulator thread
in some contexts) later overrides that with pinning it to all
available pCPUs.
How to reproduce:
* Configure the domain with "auto" placement for <vcpu>, e.g.
<vcpu placement='auto'>4</vcpu>
* % virsh start dom
* % cat /proc/$dompid/status
Though the emulator cgroup cause conflicts, but we can't simply
prohibit creating it, as other tunables are still useful, such
as "emulator_period", which is used by API
virDomainSetSchedulerParameter. So this patch doesn't prohibit
creating the emulator cgroup, but inherit the nodeset from numad,
and reset the affinity for domain process.

When restoring selinux labels after a VM is stopped, any non-standard
path that doesn't have a default selinux label causes the process
to stop and exit early. This isn't really an error condition IMO.
Of course the selinux API could be erroring for some other reason
but hopefully that's rare enough to not need explicit handling.
Common example here is storing disk images in a non-standard location
like under /mnt.

virStorageVolLookupByPath is an API call that virt-manager uses
quite a bit when dealing with storage. This call use BackendStablePath
which has several usleep() heuristics that can be tripped up
and hang virt-manager for a while.
Current example: an empty mpath pool pointing to /dev/mapper makes
_any_ calls to virStorageVolLookupByPath take 5 seconds.
The sleep heuristics are actually only needed in certain cases
when we are waiting for new storage to appear, so let's skip the
timeout steps when calling from LookupByPath.
