If users haven't configured guest agent then qemuAgentCommand() will
dereference a NULL 'mon' pointer, which causes crash of libvirtd when
using agent based cpu (un)plug.
With the patch, when the qemu-ga service isn't running in the guest,
a expected error "error: Guest agent is not responding: Guest agent
not available for now" will be raised, and the error "error: argument
unsupported: QEMU guest agent is not configured" is raised when the
guest hasn't configured guest agent.

There are two levels on which a device may be hotplugged: config
and live. The config level requires just an insert or remove from
internal domain definition structure, which is exactly what this
patch does. There is currently no implementation for a chardev
update action, as there's not much to be updated. But more
importantly, the only thing that can be updated is path or socket
address by which chardevs are distinguished. So the update action
is currently not supported.
With current code, error reporting for unsupported devices for hot plug,
unplug and update is total mess. The VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error
code is reported instead of VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED. Moreover, the
error messages are not helping to find the root cause (lack of
implementation).

Since the other functions qemuNodeDeviceReAttach and qemuNodeDeviceReset
looks exactly the same, I've initialized the variables there as well.
However, I am still wondering why those functions don't matter to gcc
while the first one does.
The driver arg to virPCIDeviceDetach is no longer used (the name of the stub driver is now set in the virPCIDevice object, and virPCIDeviceDetach retrieves it from there). Remove it.
virPCIDeviceDetach would previously sometimes consume the input device
object (to put it on the inactive list) and sometimes not. Avoiding
memory leaks required checking beforehand to see if the device was
already on the list, and freeing the device object in the caller only
if there wasn't already an identical object on the inactive list.
This patch makes it consistent - virPCIDeviceDetach will *never*
consume the input virPCIDevice object; if it needs to put one on the
inactive list, it will create a copy and put *that* on the list. This
way the caller knows that it is always their responsibility to free
the device object they created.
Previously stubDriver was always set from a string literal, so it was
okay to use a const char * that wasn't freed when the virPCIDevice was
freed. This will not be the case in the near future, so it is now a
char* that is allocated in virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver() and freed
during virPCIDeviceFree().
As a consequence of the cgroup layout changes from commit '632f78ca', the
qemuDomainGetSchedulerParameters[Flags]()' and qemuGetSchedulerType() APIs
failed to return data for a non running domain. This can be seen through
a 'virsh schedinfo <domain>' command which returns:
Scheduler : Unknown
error: Requested operation is not valid: cgroup CPU controller is not mounted
Prior to that change a non running domain would return:
Scheduler : posix
cpu_shares : 0
vcpu_period : 0
vcpu_quota : 0
emulator_period: 0
emulator_quota : 0
This patch will restore the capability to return configuration only data
for a non running domain regardless of whether cgroups are available.
Paolo Bonzini pointed out that it's actually possible to migrate a qemu
instance that was paused due to I/O error and it will be able to work on
the destination if the storage is accessible.
This patch introduces flag VIR_MIGRATE_ABORT_ON_ERROR that cancels the
migration in case an I/O error happens while it's being performed and
allows migration without this flag. This flag can be possibly used for
other error reasons that may be introduced in the future.
Convert input XML to migratable before using it in
qemuDomainSaveImageOpen.
XML in the save image is migratable, i.e. doesn't contain implicit
controllers. If these controllers were in a non-default order in the
input XML, the ABI check would fail. Removing and re-adding these
controllers fixes it.

This patch fixes changes done in commit 29c1e913e4

The flag introduced by the patch is changed to VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST and

Since 0d70656afd, it starts to access the sysfs files to build

And there might be other places which need to access sysfs files

This changes the helpers qemu{Add,Remove}SharedDisk into
qemu{Add,Remove}SharedDevice, as most of the code in the helpers
can be reused for scsi host device.
To track the shared scsi host device, first it finds out the
device path (e.g. /dev/s[dr]*) which is mapped to the sg device,
and use device ID of the found device path (/dev/s[dr]*) as the
hash key. This is because of the device ID is not unique between
between /dev/s[dr]* and /dev/sg*, e.g.
% sg_map
/dev/sg0 /dev/sda
/dev/sg1 /dev/sr0
% ls -l /dev/sda
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 0 May 2 19:26 /dev/sda
%ls -l /dev/sg0
crw-rw----. 1 root disk 21, 0 May 2 19:26 /dev/sg0
"Shared disk" is not only the thing we should care about after "scsi
hostdev" is introduced. A same scsi device can be used as "disk" for
one domain, and as "scsi hostdev" for another domain at the same time.

The first problem was that virFileOpenAs was returning fd (-1) in one
of the error cases rather than ret (-errno), so the caller thought
that the error was EPERM rather than ENOENT.
The second problem was that some log messages in the general purpose
qemuOpenFile() function would always say "Failed to create" even if
the caller hadn't included O_CREAT (i.e. they were trying to open an
existing file).
This fixes virFileOpenAs to jump down to the error return (which
returns ret instead of fd) in the previously mentioned incorrect
failure case of virFileOpenAs(), removes all error logging from
virFileOpenAs() (since the callers report it), and modifies
qemuOpenFile to appropriately use "open" or "create" in its log
messages.
NB: I seriously considered removing logging from all callers of
virFileOpenAs(), but there is at least one case where the caller
doesn't want virFileOpenAs() to log any errors, because it's just
going to try again (qemuOpenFile()). We can't simply make a silent
variation of virFileOpenAs() though, because qemuOpenFile() can't make
the decision about whether or not it wants to retry until after
virFileOpenAs() has already returned an error code.
Likewise, I also considered changing virFileOpenAs() to return -1 with
errno set on return, and may still do that, but only as a separate
patch, as it obscures the intent of this patch too much.
The LXC, QEMU, and LibXL drivers have all merged their handling of
the attach/update/modify device APIs into one large
'xxxxDomainModifyDeviceFlags'
which then does a 'switch()' based on the actual API being invoked.
While this saves some lines of code, it is not really all that
significant in the context of the driver API impls as a whole.
This merger of the handling of different APIs creates pain when
wanting to automated analysis of the code and do things which
are specific to individual APIs. The slight duplication of code
from unmerged the API impls, is preferrable to allow for easier
automated analysis.

Currently the virGetHostname() API has a bogus virConnectPtr

reference this API in their virDriverPtr tables, tieing its

This also causes problems for access control checks since
these must only be done for invocations from the public

hypervisor driver provide a dedicated function for the
driver API impl. This will allow access control checks

When attempting to generate the native command line from an XML file
that uses graphics port auto allocation, the generated commandline
wouldn't be valid.
This patch adds fake autoallocation of ports as done when starting the
actual machine.
The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
virPCIDeviceReattach and virPCIDeviceUnbindFromStub (called by
virPCIDeviceReattach) had previously required the name of the stub
driver as input. This is unnecessary, because the name of the driver
the device is currently bound to can be found by looking at the link:
/sys/bus/pci/dddd:bb:ss.ff/driver
Instead of requiring that the name of the expected stub driver name
and only unbinding if that one name is matched, we no longer take a
driver name in the arglist for either of these
functions. virPCIDeviceUnbindFromStub just compares the name of the
currently bound driver to a list of "well known" stubs (right now
contains "pci-stub" and "vfio-pci" for qemu, and "pciback" for xen),
and only performs the unbind if it's one of those devices.
This allows virsh nodedevice-reattach to work properly across a
libvirtd restart, and fixes a couple of cases where we were
erroneously still hard-coding "pci-stub" as the drive name.
For some unknown reason, virPCIDeviceReattach had been calling
modprobe on the stub driver prior to unbinding the device. This was
problematic because we no longer know the name of the stub driver in
that function. However, it is pointless to probe for the stub driver
at that time anyway - because the device is bound to the stub driver,
we are guaranteed that it is already loaded, and so that call to
modprobe has been removed.
The differences from virNodeDeviceDettach are very minor:
1) Check that the flags are 0.
2) Set the virPCIDevice's stubDriver according to the driverName that
is passed in.
3) Call virPCIDeviceDetach with a NULL stubDriver, indicating it
should get the name of the stub driver from the virPCIDevice
object.
Ensure that all drivers implementing public APIs use a
naming convention for their implementation that matches
the public API name.

Refactoring done in 19c6ad9ac7 didn't

This patch removes the defaultDiskDriverName from the virCaps
structure. This particular default value is used only in the qemu driver
so this patch uses the recently added callback to fill the driver name
if it's needed instead of propagating it through virCaps.
This patch adds instrumentation that will allow hypervisor drivers to
fill and validate domain and device definitions after parsed by the XML
parser.
With this patch, after the XML is parsed, a callback to the driver is
issued requesting to fill and validate driver specific details of the
configuration. This allows to use sensible defaults and checks on a per
driver basis at the time the XML is parsed.
Two callback pointers are stored in the new virDomainXMLConf object:
* virDomainDeviceDefPostParseCallback (devicesPostParseCallback)
- called for a single device parsed and for every single device in a
domain config. A virDomainDeviceDefPtr is passed along with the
domain definition and virCaps.
* virDomainDefPostParseCallback, (domainPostParseCallback)
- A callback that is meant to process the domain config after it's
parsed. A virDomainDefPtr is passed along with virCaps.
Both types of callbacks support arbitrary opaque data passed for the
callback functions.
Errors may be reported in those callbacks resulting in a XML parsing
failure.
This patch is the result of running:
for i in $(git ls-files | grep -v html | grep -v \.po$ ); do
sed -i -e "s/virDomainXMLConf/virDomainXMLOption/g" -e "s/xmlconf/xmlopt/g" $i

and a few manual tweaks.

accessing an already freed structure. Also copy the explaining comment why the
pointer can't be accessed any more.

The virCaps structure gathered a ton of irrelevant data over time that.

2) Allow us to add callbacks to check and add driver specific stuff

This first attempt removes pointers to private data allocation functions
to this new structure and update all callers and function that require
them.
When there are two concurrent threads, we may dereference a NULL
pointer, even though it has been checked before:
1. Thread1: starts executing qemuDomainBlockStatsFlags() with nparams != 0.
It finds given disk and successfully pass check for disk->info.alias
not being NULL.
2. Thread2: starts executing qemuDomainDetachDeviceFlags() on the very same
disk as Thread1 is working on.
3. Thread1: gets to qemuDomainObjBeginJob() where it sets a job on a
domain.
4. Thread2: also tries to set a job. However, we are not guaranteed which
thread wins. So assume it's Thread2 who can continue.
5. Thread2: does the actual detach and frees disk->info.alias
6. Thread2: quits the job
7. Thread1: now successfully acquires the job, and accesses a NULL pointer.
19c6ad9a (qemu: Refactor qemuDomainSetMemoryParameters) introduced
a new macro, VIR_GET_LIMIT_PARAMETER(PARAM, VALUE). But if statement
in the macro is not correct and so set_XXXX flags are set to false
in the wrong. As a result, libvirt ignores all memtune parameters.
This patch fixes the conditional expression to work correctly.

Currently, qemuDomainShutdownFlags() chooses the agent method of
shutdown whenever the agent is configured. However, this
assumption is not enough as the guest agent may be unresponsive
at the moment. So unless guest agent method has been explicitly
requested, we should fall back to the ACPI method.
