Libssh2 transport support was enabled lately but the spec file wasn't
updated to take this into account. This caused libvirt to be built
without libssh2 support in Red Hat based OSes.
We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux
contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated
contexts throughout the code. This patch swaps all SELinux context
translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing
problems.
The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example. The
difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install
mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you
something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas
fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow'
that we cannot parse.
I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of
time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in
the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008.
Thanks Laurent Bigonville for finding this out.

When startupPolicy set for a USB devices allows such device to be
missing, there was no way this could be detected from domain XML. With
this patch, libvirt emits a new missing='yes' attribute for such devices
when active domain XML is generated.
The comment stated that you may call qemuDomainObjBeginJobWithDriver
without passing qemud_driver to signal it's not locked.
qemuDomainObjBeginJobWithDriver still accesses the qemud_driver
structure and the lock singaling is done through a separate parameter.
Save/restore with passed through USB devices currently only works if the
USB device can be found at the same USB address where it used to be
before saving a domain. This makes sense in case a user explicitly
configure the USB address in domain XML. However, if the device was
found automatically by vendor/product identification, we should try to
search for that device when restoring the domain and use any device we
find as long as there is only one available. In other words, the USB
device can now be removed and plugged again or the host can be rebooted
between saving and restoring the domain.
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.
All USB device lookup functions emit an error when they cannot find the
requested device. With this patch, their caller can choose if a missing
device is an error or normal condition.
The code which looks up a USB device specified by hostdev is duplicated
in two places. This patch creates a dedicated function that can be
called in both places.
USB devices can disappear without OS being mad about it, which makes
them ideal for startupPolicy. With this attribute, USB devices can be
configured to be mandatory (the default), requisite (will disappear
during migration if they cannot be found), or completely optional.
While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.
The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).
While current on_{poweroff,reboot,crash} action configuration is about
configuring life cycle actions, they can all be considered events and
actions that need to be done on a particular event. Let's generalize the
code by renaming life cycle actions to event actions so that it can be
reused later for non-lifecycle events.
Done with:
sed -i -e "s/no pool with matching uuid/no storage pool with matching uuid/g" src/storage/storage_driver.c
sed -i -e 's/"%s", _("no storage pool with matching uuid")/_("no storage pool with matching uuid %s"), obj->uuid/g' src/storage/storage_driver.c
sed -i -e 's/"%s", _("storage pool is not active")/_("storage pool '%s' is not active"), pool->def->name/g' src/storage/storage_driver.c
And a couple fixups before, during, and after, and a manual inspection
pass to make sure nothing was wonky.
When adding variants of parameter setting APIs which accepted
flags, the existing APIs were all adapted internally to pass
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT to the new API. The QEMU impl
qemuSetSchedularParameters was an exception, which instead
used VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE. Change this to match other
compatibility scenarios, so that calling
virDomainSetSchedularParameters(dom, params, nparams);
Has the same semantics as
virDomainSetSchedularParametersFlags(dom, params, nparams, 0);
And
virDomainSetSchedularParametersFlags(dom, params, nparams, VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT);

Currently virNetSocketNew fails because virSetCloseExec fails as there
is no proper implementation for it on Windows at the moment. Workaround
this by pretending that setting close-on-exec on the fd works. This can
be done because libvirt currently lacks the ability to create child
processes on Windows anyway. So there is no point in failing to set a
flag that isn't useful at the moment anyway.
Traverse the whole inheritance hierarchy for dynamic dispatch as it is
already done for the dynamic cast.
Also make AnyType cast errors more verbose.

Add support to check if a specific interface is active by supporting the
following API function in the udev based virInterface backend:
* virConnectInterfaceIsActive()
All other backends for virInterface or other HVs implementations of
virInterface list their own names for the name instead of the generic
'Interface' value. This does the same for the netcf based backend.
Also, report any errors during registration.
Add a read-only udev based backend for virInterface. Useful for distros
that do not have netcf support yet. Multiple libvirt based utilities use
a HAL based fallback when virInterface is not available which is less
than ideal. This implements:
* virConnectNumOfInterfaces()
* virConnectListInterfaces()
* virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListAllInterfaces()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByName()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByMACString()
The code was reporting raw exit status without decoding it into
normal vs. signal exit. virCommandRun already does this, but
with a different error type, so all we have to do is recast
the error to the correct type.

* src/util/hooks.c (virHookCall): Simplify.
As a side effect of changes in the functions virGetUserID and
virGetGroupID, the user and group configurations for DAC in qemu.conf
are now able to accept both names and IDs, supporting a leading plus
sign to ensure that a numeric value will not be interpreted as a name.
This patch updates the comments in qemu.conf, including a description of
this new behavior.
With the recent introduction of QMP capabilities probing, libvirt failed
to detect support for QXL graphics in QEMU 1.2 and newer. In addition to
fixing that, this patch also causes libvirt to detect QXL support for
qemu-kvm-0.13.0, which doesn't advertise it in -help output but mentions
it in device list. Since qemu-kvm-0.13.0 supported -spice, it looks like
not having qxl in -help was a bug.
I was using qemu-monitor-command during development, and found it quite
hard to use. Compare the results of this patch on ease of reading:
$ virsh qemu-monitor-command dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'

$ virsh qemu-monitor-command --pretty dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'

"return": {
"qemu": {
"micro": 1,
"minor": 12,

The functions virGetUserID and virGetGroupID are now able to parse
user/group names and IDs in a similar way to coreutils' chown. So, user
and group parsing in security_dac can be simplified.
This patch updates virGetUserID and virGetGroupID to be able to parse a
user or group name in a similar way to coreutils' chown. This means that
a numeric value with a leading plus sign is always parsed as an ID,
otherwise the functions try to parse the input first as a user or group
name and if this fails they try to parse it as an ID.
This patch includes Peter Krempa's changes to correctly handle errors
returned by getpwnam_r and getgrnam_r.
curl_global_init is not thread-safe. curl_easy_init might call
curl_global_init when it was no called before. But curl_easy_init
can be called from different threads by the ESX driver. Therefore,
call curl_global_init from virInitialize to stop curl_easy_init from
calling it.

When both kvmclock and kvm_pv_eoi are configured (either disabled or
enabled) libvirt will generate invalid CPU specification due to the
fact that even though kvmclock causes the CPU to be specified, it
doesn't set have_cpu flag to true (and the new kvm_pv_eoi as well).
This patch fixes the issue and adds a test exactly for that to show
that it is fixed correctly (and also to keep it that way in the future
of course).
libvirt_ulonglongUnwrap requires the integer type of python obj.
But libvirt_longlongUnwrap still could handle python obj of
Pyfloat_type which causes the float value to be rounded up
to an integer.
For example
>>> dom.setSchedulerParameters({'vcpu_quota': 0.88})
0
libvirt_longlongUnwrap treats 0.88 as a valid value 0
However
>>> dom.setSchedulerParameters({'cpu_shares': 1000.22})
libvirt_ulonglongUnwrap will throw out an error
"TypeError: an integer is required"
The patch make this consistent.
libvirt_virDomainGetVcpus: add error handling, return -1 instead of None

The original way ignored the error info from PyTuple_GetItem

The error message will only be raised on next command in interactive mode.
libcurl uses a SIGALRM in combination with sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to be
able to abort a DNS lookup when it takes too long. The problem with this
in a multi-threaded application is that the signal handler for SIGALRM
and the call to siglongjmp can be executed on a thread that is different
from the one that initially did the SIGALRM setup and the call to
sigsetjmp. In the reported case this triggered a segfault.
Disable libcurl's use of signals to avoid this situation. This has the
disadvantage of losing the ability to abort synchronous DNS lookups which
might result in libcurl getting stuck in a DNS lookup in the worst case.
When libcurl was build with an asynchronous DNS backend such as c-ares
then there is no problem because the timeout mechanism works without
signals here anyway.

The output buffer for virFileReadAll was too small for systems with
more than 30 CPUs which leads to a log entry and incorrect behavior.

This reverts part of commit 5468594f465; the perl changes in that
patch were sufficient. Since libvirt.syms is already a generated
file created in part from libvirt_private.syms, we don't need a
second pass over libvirt_private.syms in isolation.
* src/Makefile.am: Undo addition of check-private-symfile.
Currently, we are checking if libvirt.so contains public symbols.
However, sometimes we rename an internal symbol and forget to
change libvirt_private.syms accordingly. Hence, it's safer to check
for internal symbols as well.
I noticed that in two places, we require util-linux, and in a third,
we require util-linux-ng. On Fedora (I tested F15 through rawhide),
util-linux-ng is obsoleted by util-linux; on RHEL 6, util-linux
is obsoleted by util-linux-ng. That is, on either platform, either
name will get you the correct package installed (where the preferred
name on fedora is util-linux, and on RHEL 6 is util-linux-ng). But
on RHEL 5, there is no util-linux-ng
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Use util-linux, not util-linux-ng.
