If we combine the boot order on the command line with other

Commit f7afeddc added code to report to systemd an array of interface
indexes for all tap devices used by a guest. Unfortunately it not only
didn't add code to report the ifindexes for macvtap interfaces
(interface type='direct') or the tap devices used by type='ethernet',
it ended up sending "-1" as the ifindex for each macvtap or hostdev
interface. This resulted in a failure to start any domain that had a
macvtap or hostdev interface (or actually any type other than
"network" or "bridge").
This patch does the following with the nicindexes array:
1) Modify qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine() to only fill in the
nicindexes array if given a non-NULL pointer to an array (and modifies
the test jig calls to the function to send NULL). This is because
there are tests in the test suite that have type='ethernet' and still
have an ifname specified, but that device of course doesn't actually
exist on the test system, so attempts to call virNetDevGetIndex() will
fail.
2) Even then, only add an entry to the nicindexes array for
appropriate types, and to do so for all appropriate types ("network",
"bridge", and "direct"), but only if the ifname is known (since that
is required to call virNetDevGetIndex().
If the qemu binary on x86 does not support lsi SCSI controller,
but it supports virtio-scsi, we reject the virtio-specific attributes
for no reason.
Move the default controller assignment before the check.

So, when building the '-numa' command line, the
qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() function does quite a lot of checks to
chose the best backend, or to check if one is in fact needed. However,
it returned that backend is needed even for this little fella:
<numatune>
<memory mode="strict" nodeset="0,2"/>
</numatune>
This can be guaranteed via CGroups entirely, there's no need to use
memory-backend-ram to let qemu know where to get memory from. Well, as
long as there's no <memnode/> element, which explicitly requires the
backend. Long story short, we wouldn't have to care, as qemu works
either way. However, the problem is migration (as always). Previously,
libvirt would have started qemu with:
-numa node,memory=X
in this case and restricted memory placement in CGroups. Today, libvirt
creates more complicated command line:
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=X
-numa node,memdev=ram-node0
Again, one wouldn't find anything wrong with these two approaches.
Both work just fine. Unless you try to migrated from the older libvirt
into the newer one. These two approaches are, unfortunately, not
compatible. My suggestion is, in order to allow users to migrate, lets
use the older approach for as long as the newer one is not needed.

Some code paths have special logic depending on the page size
reported by sysconf, which in turn affects the test results.
We must mock this so tests always have a consistent page size.
Change done by commit f309db1f4d wrongly
assumes that qemu can start with a combination of NUMA nodes specified
with the "memdev" option and the appropriate backends, and the legacy
way by specifying only "mem" as a size argument. QEMU rejects such
commandline though:
$ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 2 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256 \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node1,size=12345 \
-numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1
qemu-system-x86_64: -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1: qemu: memdev option must be specified for either all or no nodes
To fix this issue we need to check if any of the nodes requires the new
definition with the backend and if so, then all other nodes have to use
it too.

With the new JSON to argv formatter we are now able to represent the
memory backend definitions in the JSON object format that is reusable
for monitor use (hotplug) and then convert it into the shell string.
This will avoid having two separate instances of the same code that
would create the different formats.
Previous refactors now allow to make this step without changes to the
test suite.
QEMU's command line visitor as well as the JSON interface take bytes by
default for memory object sizes. Convert mebibytes to bytes so that we
can later refactor the existing code for hotplug purposes.
QEMU's qapi visitor code allows yes/on/y for true and no/off/n for false
value of boolean properities. Unify the used style so that we can
generate it later and fix test cases.
Extract the memory backend device code into a separate function so that
it can be later easily refactored and reused.
Few small changes for future reusability, namely:
- new (currently unused) parameter for user specified page size
- size of the memory is specified in kibibytes, divided up in the
function
- new (currently unused) parameter for user specifed source nodeset
- option to enforce capability check
Unlike -device, qemu uses a JSON object to add backend "objects" via the
monitor rather than the string that would be passed on the commandline.
To be able to reuse code parts that configure backends for various
devices, this patch adds a helper that will allow generating the command
line representations from the JSON property object.
For distros that want to add versioned machine types, they will add
(downstream) machine types like "virt-foo-1.2.3". Detect these as

Previous patch of this series fixed the issue with adding a new PCI bridge
when all the slots were reserved by devices with user specified addresses.
In case there are still some PCI devices waiting to get a slot reserved
by qemuAssignDevicePCISlots, this means a new bus needs to be
created along with a corresponding bridge controller. By adding an
additional check, this scenario now results in a reasonable error
instead of generating wrong qemu command line.
Commit 93c8ca tried to fix the issue with auto-adding of a PCI bridge
controller, but didn't work properly in all scenarios.
This patch provides a better fix of the issue when all slots on a PCI bus
are reserved by devices with user specified addresses and no additional
bridges need to be created.

Libvirt BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175397
QEMU BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170093
In qemu there are two interesting arguments:
1) -numa to create a guest NUMA node
2) -object memory-backend-{ram,file} to tell qemu which memory
region on which host's NUMA node it should allocate the guest
memory from.
Combining these two together we can instruct qemu to create a
guest NUMA node that is tied to a host NUMA node. And it works
just fine. However, depending on machine type used, there might
be some issued during migration when OVMF is enabled (see QEMU
BZ). While this truly is a QEMU bug, we can help avoiding it. The
problem lies within the memory backend objects somewhere. Having
said that, fix on our side consists on putting those objects on
the command line if and only if needed. For instance, while
previously we would construct this (in all ways correct) command
line:
-object memory-backend-ram,size=256M,id=ram-node0 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
now we create just:
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256
because the backend object is obviously not tied to any specific
host NUMA node.

When libvirt is managing a bridge's forwarding database (FDB)
(macTableManager='libvirt'), if we add FDB entries for a new guest
interface even before the qemu process is created, then in the case of
a migration any other guest attached to the "destination" bridge will
have its traffic immediately sent to the destination of the migration
even while the source domain is still running (and the destination, of
course, isn't). To make sure that traffic from other guests on the new
host continues flowing to the old guest until the new one is ready, we
have to wait until the new guest CPUs are started to add the FDB
entries.
Conversely, we need to remove the FDB entries from the bridge any time
the guest CPUs are stopped; among other things, this will assure
proper operation during a post-copy migration (which is just the
opposite of the problem described in the previous paragraph).

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.
Since virNetworkFree will call virObjectUnref anyway, let's just use that
directly so as to avoid the possibility that we inadvertently clear out
a pending error message when using the public API.

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt

It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because

This is a reaction to Michal's fix [1] for non-NUMA systems that also

libvirt_conf if it is the other way around. This particular use case

The only functions from virnuma.c that needed numatune_conf were
virDomainNumatuneNodesetIsAvailable() and virNumaSetupMemoryPolicy().
The first one should be in numatune_conf as it works with
virDomainNumatune, the second one just needs nodeset and mode, both of

There was no check for 'nodeset' attribute in numatune-related
elements. This patch adds validation that any nodeset specified does
not exceed maximum host node.

Particularly in qemuBuildNumaArgStr(), there was a need for the advice
due to memory backing, which needs to know the nodeset it will be pinned
to. With newer qemu this caused the following error when starting
domain:
error: internal error: Advice from numad is needed in case of
automatic numa placement
even when starting perfectly valid domain, e.g.:
...
<vcpu placement='auto'>4</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
<cpu>
<numa>
<cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='524288'/>
<cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='524288'/>
</numa>
</cpu>
...

Tuning NUMA or network interface parameters requires root
privileges to manage cgroups. Thus an attempt to set some of these
parameters in session mode on a running domain should be invalid
followed by an error. An example might be memory tuning which raises
an error in such case.
The following behavior in session mode will be present after applying
this patch:
Tuning | SET | GET |
----------|---------------|--------|
NUMA | shut off only | always |
Memory | never | never |
Interface | never | always |

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
In the function at one place we check if def->cpu is NULL prior
to accessing def->cpu->ncells. Then, later in the code,
def->cpu->ncells is accessed directly, without the check. This
makes coverity unhappy, because the first check makes it think
def->cpu can be NULL. However, the function is not called if
def->cpu is NULL. Therefore, remove the first check and hopefully
make coverity cheer again.

This patch adds support for RDMA protocol in migration URIs.
USAGE: $ virsh migrate --live --migrateuri rdma://hostname domain qemu+ssh://hostname/system
Since libvirt runs QEMU in a pretty restricted environment, several
files needs to be added to cgroup_device_acl (in qemu.conf) for QEMU to
be able to access the host's infiniband hardware. Full documenation of
the feature can be found on QEMU wiki:

We are not detecting the presence of FIPS from QEMU, but from procfs and
that means it's not QEMU capability. It was decided that we will pass
this flag to QEMU even if it's not supported by old QEMU binaries.
This patch also reverts changes done by commit a21cfb0f to
qemucapabilitestest and implements a new test case in qemuxml2argvtest.

There are two ways how to tell qemu to use huge pages. The first one
is suitable for domains with NUMA nodes: the path to hugetlbfs mount
is appended to NUMA node definition on the command line. The second
one is suitable for UMA domains: here there's this global '-mem-path'
argument that accepts path to the hugetlbfs mount point. However, the
latter case was not used for all the cases that it should be. For
instance:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
didn't trigger the '-mem-path' so the huge pages - despite being
configured - were not used at all.

As of 136ad4974 it is possible to specify different huge pages per
guest NUMA node. However, there's no check if nodeset specified in
./hugepages/page contains only those guest NUMA nodes that exist.
In other words with current code it is possible to define meaningless
combination:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0,2-3'/>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='1,4'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
<vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu>
<cpu>
<numa>
<cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='1048576'/>
<cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='1048576'/>
<cell id='2' cpus='2' memory='1048576'/>
<cell id='3' cpus='3' memory='1048576'/>
</numa>
</cpu>
Notice the node 4 in <hugepages/>?
