Since radvd is executed by daemonizing it, the attempt to exec the
radvd binary doesn't happen until after libvirtd has already received
an exit code from the intermediate forked process, so no error is
detected or logged by __virExec().
We can't require radvd as a prerequisite for the libvirt package (many
installations don't use IPv6, so they don't need it), so instead we
add in a check to verify there is an executable radvd binary prior to
trying to exec it.
When SASL is active, it was possible that we read and decoded
more data off the wire than we initially wanted. The loop
processing this data terminated after only one message to
avoid delaying the calling thread, but this could delay
event delivery. As long as there is decoded SASL data in
memory, we must process it, before returning to the poll()
event loop.
This is a counterpart to the same kind of issue solved in
commit 68d2c3482f
in a different area of the code
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Process all pending SASL data
virExec would only resolved the binary to $PATH if no env
variables were being set. Since there is no execvep() API
in POSIX, we use virFindFileInPath to manually resolve
the binary and then use execv() instead of execvp().
Add a new xen driver based on libxenlight [1], which is the primary
toolstack starting with Xen 4.1.0. The driver is stateful and runs
privileged only.
Like the existing xen-unified driver, the libxenlight driver is
accessed with xen:// URI. Driver selection is based on the status
of xend. If xend is running, the libxenlight driver will not load
and xen:// connections are handled by xen-unified. If xend is not
running *and* the libxenlight driver is available, xen://
connections are deferred to the libxenlight driver.
V6:
- Address several code style issues noted by Daniel Veillard
- Make drive work with xen:/// URI
- Hold domain object reference while domain is injected in
libvirt event loop. Race found and fixed by Markus Groß.
V5:
- Ensure events are unregistered when domain private data
is destroyed. Discovered and fixed by Markus Groß.
V4:
- Handle restart of libvirtd, reconnecting to previously
started domains
- Rebased to current master
- Tested against Xen 4.1 RC7-pre (c/s 22961:c5d121fd35c0)
V3:
- Reserve vnc port within driver when autoport=yes
V2:
- Update to Xen 4.1 RC6-pre (c/s 22940:5a4710640f81)
- Rebased to current master
- Plug memory leaks found by Stefano Stabellini and valgrind
- Handle SHUTDOWN_crash domain death event

Calling most hash APIs is not safe from inside of an iterator callback.
Exceptions are APIs that do not modify the hash table and removing
current hash entry from virHashFroEach callback.
This patch make all APIs which are not safe fail instead of just relying
on the callback being nice not calling any unsafe APIs.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
# cat test.sh
#! /bin/bash -x
virsh start domain
sleep 5
virsh qemu-monitor-command domain 'cpu_set 2 online' --hmp
# while true; do ./test.sh ; done
Then libvirtd will crash.
The reason is that:
we add a reference of obj when we open the monitor. We will reduce this
reference when we free the monitor.
If the reference of monitor is 0, we will free monitor automatically and
the reference of obj is reduced.
But in the function qemuDomainObjExitMonitorWithDriver(), we reduce this
reference again when the reference of monitor is 0.
It will cause the obj be freed in the function qemuDomainObjEndJob().
Then we start the domain again, and libvirtd will crash in the function
virDomainObjListSearchName(), because we pass a null pointer(obj->def->name)
to strcmp().

=============
# virsh attach-disk RHEL6RC /var/lib/libvirt/images/test3.img vdb \
--driver file --subdriver qcow2
Disk attached successfully
# virsh save RHEL6RC /var/lib/libvirt/images/memory.save

error: Failed to restore domain from /var/lib/libvirt/images/memory.save
error: internal error unsupported driver name 'file'
for disk '/var/lib/libvirt/images/test3.img'
=============
We check the driver name when we start or restore VM, but we do
not check it while attaching a disk. This adds the same check on disk
driverName used in qemuBuildCommandLine to qemudDomainAttachDevice.

* docs/logging.html.in: document the fact that starting from
0.9.0 the server logs goes to libvirtd.log instead of syslog
by default, describe the debug buffer, restructure the page
and add a couple more examples
As pointed out, locking the buffer from the signal handler
cannot been guaranteed to be safe, so to avoid any hazard
we prefer the trade off of dumping logs possibly messed up
by concurrent logging activity rather than risk a daemon
crash.
* src/util/logging.c: change virLogEmergencyDumpAll() to not
take any lock on the log buffer but reset buffer content variables
to an empty set before starting the actual dump.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
# virsh qemu-monitor-command domain 'cpu_set 2 online' --hmp
The domain has 2 cpus, and we try to set the third cpu online.
The qemu crashes, and this command will hang.
The reason is that the refs is not 1 when we unwatch the monitor.
We lock the monitor, but we do not unlock it. So virCondWait()
will be blocked.

xen-unstable c/s 21118:28e5409e3fb3 bumped sysctl version to 8.
xen-unstable c/s 21212:de94884a669c introduced CPU pools feature,
adding another member to xen_domctl_getdomaininfo struct. Add a
corresponding domctl v7 struct in xen hypervisor sub-driver and
detect sysctl v8 during initialization.
The virCond of the remote_thread_call struct was leaked in some
places. This results in leaking the underlying mutex. Which in turn
leaks a handle on Windows.

When building for an older distro, it's convenient to just
tell rpmbuild to define dist (for example, to .el6_0), rather
than also remembering to define rhel to 6.
* libvirt.spec.in: Guess %{rhel} based on %{dist}.
Based on an idea by Jiri Denemark.
A bug in libnl (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677724
and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677725) makes it very
easy to create a failure to connect to the netlink socket when trying
to open a macvtap network device ("type='direct'" in domain interface
XML). When that error occurred (during a call to libnl's nl_connect()
from libvirt's nlComm(), there was no log message, leading virsh (for
example) to report "unknown error".
There were two other cases in nlComm where an error in a libnl
function might return with failure but no error reported. In all three
cases, this patch logs a message which will hopefully be more useful.
Note that more detailed information about the failure might be
available from libnl's nl_geterror() function, but it calls
strerror(), which is not threadsafe, so we can't use it.
If pool xml has no definition for "port", then "Segmentation fault"
happens when jumping to "cleanup:" to do "VIR_FREE(port)", as "port"
was not initialized in this situation.
* src/conf/storage_conf.c
POSIX states about dd:
If the bs=expr operand is specified and no conversions other than
sync, noerror, or notrunc are requested, the data returned from each
input block shall be written as a separate output block; if the read
returns less than a full block and the sync conversion is not
specified, the resulting output block shall be the same size as the
input block. If the bs=expr operand is not specified, or a conversion
other than sync, noerror, or notrunc is requested, the input shall be
processed and collected into full-sized output blocks until the end of
the input is reached.
Since we aren't using conv=sync, there is no zero-padding, but our
use of bs= means that a short read results in a short write. If
instead we use ibs= and obs=, then short reads are collected and dd
only has to do a single write, which can make dd more efficient.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorMigrateToFile):
Avoid 'dd bs=', since it can cause short writes.
"virsh connect ''" should try to connect to the default connection,
but the previous patch made it issue a warning about an invalid URI.
* tools/virsh.c (VSH_OFLAG_EMPTY_OK): New option flag.
(vshCommandOptString): Per the declaration, value is required to
be non-NULL. Honor new flag.
(opts_connect): Allow empty string connection.
The virCommandNewArgs() method would free the virCommandPtr
if it failed to add the args. This meant errors reported in
virCommandAddArgSet() were lost. Simply removing the check
for errors from the constructor means they can be reported
correctly later
The virCommandAddEnvPassCommon() method failed to check for
errors before reallocating the cmd->env array, causing a
potential SEGV if cmd was NULL
The virCommandAddArgSet() method needs to validate that at
least 1 element in 'val's parameter is non-NULL, otherwise
code like
cmd = virCommandNew(binary)
virCommandAddAtg(cmd, "foo")
Would end up trying todo execve("foo"), if binary was
NULL.
The virSetNonBlock() API only allows enabling non-blocking
operations. It doesn't allow turning blocking back on. Add
a new API to allow arbitrary toggling.

The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.
Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.
Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away
This change makes the use of the 'cpu', 'devices'
and 'memory' cgroups controllers compulsory with
LXC
* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document that certain cgroups
controllers are now mandatory
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Check if PID is still
alive before quitting on I/O error/HUP
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Use virCgroupKillPainfully
This is the part allowing to dynamically resize the debug log
buffer from it's default 64kB size. The buffer is now dynamically
allocated.
It adds a new API virLogSetBufferSize() which resizes the buffer
If passed a zero size, the buffer is deallocated and we do the small
optimization of not formatting messages which are not output anymore.
On the daemon side, it just adds a new option log_buffer_size to
libvirtd.conf and call virLogSetBufferSize() if needed
* src/util/logging.h src/util/logging.c src/libvirt_private.syms:
make buffer dynamic and add virLogSetBufferSize() internal API
* daemon/libvirtd.conf: document the new log_buffer_size option
* daemon/libvirtd.c: read and use the new log_buffer_size option
Outgoing migration still uses a Unix socket and or exec netcat until
the next patch.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationPrepareTunnel):
Replace Unix socket with simpler pipe.

Commit 7f193757 renamed libvirt-guests.init from .in to .sh, which
made it slip past sc_TAB_in_indentation. I nearly reintroduced a
tab, so I'm pushing this to prevent that from happening.
* cfg.mk (sc_TAB_in_indentation): Update rule to include .sh files.
* .dir-locals.el: List spacing preference for .sh files.
At least protect the $uri variable against further expansion by properly
quoting it. While doing that, also quote all other variables to protect
against shell meta characters.

The newly added call to qemuAuditNetDevice in qemuPhysIfaceConnect was
assuming that res_ifname (the name of the macvtap device) was always
valid, but this isn't the case. If openMacvtapTap fails, it always
returns NULL, which would result in a segv.
Since the audit log only needs a record of devices that are actually
sent to qemu, and a failure to open the macvtap device means that no
device will be sent to qemu, we can solve this problem by only doing
the audit if openMacvtapTap is successful (in which case res_ifname is
guaranteed valid).
Normally dnsmasq will send a default route (the address of the host in
the network definition) to any client requesting an address via
DHCP. On an isolated network this makes no sense, as we have iptables
to prevent any traffic going out via that interface, so anything sent
that way would be dropped anyway.
This extra/unusable default route becomes problematic if you have
setup a guest with multiple network interfaces, with one connected to
an isolated network and another that provides connectivity to the
outside (example - one interface directly connecting to a physical
interface via macvtap, with a second connected to an isolated network
so that the host and guest can communicate (macvtap doesn't support
guest<->host communication without an external switch that supports
vepa, or reflecting all traffic back)). In this case, if the guest
chooses the default route of the isolated network, the guest will not
be able to get network traffic beyond the host.
To prevent dnsmasq from sending a default route, you can tell it to
send 0 bytes of data for the default route option (option number 3)
with --dhcp-option=3 (normally the data to send for the option would
follow the option number; no extra data means "don't send this option").
I have checked on RHEL5 (a good representative of the oldest supported
libvirt platforms) and its version of dnsmasq (2.45) does support
--dhcp-option, so this shouldn't create any compatibility problems.
This partially reverts (and fixes that part in a different way) commit
e4384459c9, which replaced
``/usr/bin/python'' with ``/usr/bin/env python'' in all examples or
scripts used during build to generate other files.
However, python bindings module is compiled and linked against a
specific python discovered or explicitly provided in configure phase.
Thus libvirt.py, which is generated and installed into the system,
should use the same python binary for which the module has been built.
The hunk in Makefile.am replaces $(srcdir) with $(PYTHON), which might
seem wrong but it is not. generator.py didn't use any of its command
line arguments so passing $(srcdir) to it was redundant.
Otherwise connection of hypervisor driver will be leaked when
one shutdown the guest in console. e.g.
[root@localhost]# init 0
......
init: Re-executing /sbin/init
Halting system...
Power down.
error: Failed to disconnect from the hypervisor, 1 leaked reference(s)
As pointed on CVE-2011-1146, some API forgot to check the read-only
status of the connection for entry point which modify the state
of the system or may lead to a remote execution using user data.
The entry points concerned are:
- virConnectDomainXMLToNative
- virNodeDeviceDettach
- virNodeDeviceReAttach
- virNodeDeviceReset
- virDomainRevertToSnapshot
- virDomainSnapshotDelete
* src/libvirt.c: fix the above set of entry points to error on read-only
connections
