When the last reference to a virConnectPtr is released by
libvirtd, it was possible for a deadlock to occur in the
virDomainEventState functions. The virDomainEventStatePtr
holds a reference on virConnectPtr for each registered
callback. When removing a callback, the virUnrefConnect
function is run. If this causes the last reference on the
virConnectPtr to be released, then virReleaseConnect can
be run, which in turns calls qemudClose. This function has
a call to virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn which is intended
to remove all callbacks associated with the virConnectPtr
instance. This will try to grab a lock on virDomainEventState
but this lock is already held. Deadlock ensues
Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fcbb526a840 (LWP 23185)):
Since each callback associated with a virConnectPtr holds a
reference on virConnectPtr, it is impossible for the qemudClose
method to be invoked while any callbacks are still registered.
Thus the call to virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn must in fact
be a no-op. Thus it is possible to just remove all trace of
virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn and avoid the deadlock.

This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.
On the command line iptables supports ipset using
iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...
where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:
iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT
Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.
Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:
<rule action='accept' direction='in'>
<all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
</rule>
The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.
FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:
https://ipset.netfilter.org/ipset.man.html

We were being lazy - virnetlink.c was getting uint32_t as a
side-effect from glibc 2.14's <unistd.h>, but older glibc 2.11
does not provide uint32_t from <unistd.h>. In fact, POSIX states
that <unistd.h> need only provide intptr_t, not all of <stdint.h>,
so the bug really is ours. Reported by Jonathan Alescio.
* src/util/virnetlink.h: Include <stdint.h>.
This involves setting the cpuacct cgroup to a per-vcpu granularity,
as well as summing the each vcpu accounting into a common array.

If qemuPrepareHostdevUSBDevices fail it will roll back devices added

One of our latest USB device handling patches
05abd1507d introduced a regression.
That is, we first create a temporary list of all USB devices that
are to be used by domain just starting up. Then we iterate over and
check if a device from the list is in the global list of currently
assigned devices (activeUsbHostdevs). If not, we add it there and
continue with next iteration then. But if a device from temporary
list is either taken already or adding to the activeUsbHostdevs fails,
we remove all devices in temp list from the activeUsbHostdevs list.
Therefore, if a device is already taken we remove it from
activeUsbHostdevs even if we should not. Thus, next time we allow
the device to be assigned to another domain.
Most versions of libselinux do not contain the function

Normal practice is for cgroups controllers to be mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroup. When setting up a container, /sys is mounted
with a new sysfs instance, thus we must re-mount all the
cgroups controllers. The complexity is that we must mount
them in the same layout as the host OS. ie if 'cpu' and 'cpuacct'
were mounted at the same location in the host we must preserve
this in the container. Also if any controllers are co-located
we must setup symlinks from the individual controller name to
the co-located mount-point

Both /proc and /sys may have sub-mounts in them from the host
OS. We must explicitly unmount them all before mounting the
new instance over that location. If we don't then /proc/mounts
will show the sub-mounts as existing, even though nothing will
be able to access them, due to the over-mount.

Currently to make sysfs readonly, we remount the existing
instance and then bind it readonly. Unfortunately this means
sysfs is still showing device objects wrt the host OS namespace.
We need it to reflect the container namespace, so we must mount
a completely new instance of it. Do the same for selinuxfs since
there is no benefit to bind mounting & this lets us simplify
the code.

The current unprivileged user libvirtd sockets are in the abstract
namespace. This has a number of problems
- You can't connect to them remotely using the nc/ssh tunnel
- This is not portable for OS-X, BSD & probably others
- Parent directory permissions don't apply
"Instead of developing one CPU with 12 cores, the Magny Cours is
actually two 6 core “Bulldozer” CPUs combined in to one package"
I.e, each package has two NUMA nodes, and the two numa nodes share
the same core ID set (0-6), which means parsing the cores number
from sysfs doesn't work in this case.
And the wrong CPU number could cause three problems for libvirt:
1) performance lost
A domain without "cpuset" or "placement='auto'" (to drive numad)
specified will be only pinned to part of the CPUs.
2) domain can be started
If a domain uses numad, and the advisory nodeset returned from
numad contains node which exceeds the range of wrong total CPU
number. The domain will fail to start, as the bitmask passed to
sched_setaffinity could be fully filled with zero.
3) wrong CPU number affects lots of stuffs.
E.g. for command "virsh vcpuinfo", "virsh vcpupin", it will always
output with the truncated CPU list.
For more details:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00607.html
This patch is to fix the problem by parsing /proc/cpuinfo to get
the value of field "cpu cores", and use it as nodeinfo->cores if
it's greater than the cores number from sysfs.
Like for 'static' placement, when the memory policy mode is
'strict', set the memory policy by writing the advisory nodeset
returned from numad to cgroup file cpuset.mems,
On some of the NUMA platforms, the CPU index in each NUMA node
grows non-consecutive. While on other platforms, it can be inconsecutive,
E.g.
% numactl --hardware
available: 4 nodes (0-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28
node 0 size: 131058 MB
node 0 free: 86531 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 5 9 13 17 21 25 29
node 1 size: 131072 MB
node 1 free: 127070 MB
node 2 cpus: 2 6 10 14 18 22 26 30
node 2 size: 131072 MB
node 2 free: 127758 MB
node 3 cpus: 3 7 11 15 19 23 27 31
node 3 size: 131072 MB
node 3 free: 127226 MB
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 20 20
1: 20 10 20 20
2: 20 20 10 20
3: 20 20 20 10
This patch is to fix the problem by using the CPU index in
caps->host.numaCell[i]->cpus[i] to set the bitmask instead of
assuming the CPU index of the NUMA nodes are always sequential.
For pseries guest, the default controller model is
ibmvscsi controller, this controller only can work

We had previously weakened our nodeinfotest in order to ignore parsed
node values, because the parse function was mistakenly relying on
host files. A better fix is to avoid using the numactl library, but
to instead parse the same files that numactl would read, all while
allowing the files to be relative to our choice of directory.

We were wasting time to malloc a copy of a constant string, then
copy it into static storage, for every call to nodeGetInfo. At
least we were lucky that it was a constant source, and thus not
subject to even worse issues with one thread clobbering the static
storage while another was using it. This gets rid of the waste,
by passing the string through the stack instead, as well as renaming
internal functions to better match our conventions.

Appending an item to a list transfers ownership of that item to the

This patch lifts the limit of calling thread detection code only on KVM
guests. With upstream qemu the thread mappings are reported also on
non-KVM machines.
QEMU adopted the thread_id information from the kvm branch.
To remain compatible with older upstream versions of qemu the check is
attempted but the failure to detect threads (or even run the monitor
command - on older versions without SMP support) is treated non-fatal
and the code reports one vCPU with pid of the hypervisor (in same
fashion this was done on non-KVM guests).
After a cpu hotplug the qemu driver did not refresh information about
virtual processors used by qemu and their corresponding threads. This
patch forces a re-detection as is done on start of QEMU.
This ensures that correct information is reported by the
virDomainGetVcpus API and "virsh vcpuinfo".
A failure to obtain the thread<->vcpu mapping is treated non-fatal and
the mapping is not updated in a case of failure as not all versions of
QEMU report this in the info cpus command.
This patch changes a switch statement into ifs when handling live vs.
configuration modifications getting rid of redundant code in case when
both live and persistent configuration gets changed.
