This patch adds code that parses and formats configuration for memory
devices.
A simple configuration would be:
<memory model='dimm'>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
</memory>
A complete configuration of a memory device:
<memory model='dimm'>
<source>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>4096</pagesize>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
<node>1</node>
</target>
</memory>
This patch preemptively forbids use of the <memory> device in individual
drivers so the users are warned right away that the device is not
supported.
To enable memory hotplug the maximum memory size and slot count need to
be specified. As qemu supports now other units than mebibytes when
specifying memory, use the new interface in this case.
Midonet is an opensource virtual networking that over lays the IP
network between hypervisors. Currently, such networks can be made
with the openvswitch virtualport type.
This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve
as basis for the follow up patches that will add support to libvirt
for using Midonet virtual ports for its interfaces. The schema
definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the
patch too.

Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.
To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).
Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was
not interpreted correctly and caused failures. (Arguments for numad when
using automatic placement, size of the balloon). This fixes problems
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161461
Test case changes are added to verify that the schema change and code
behave correctly.
Use the NUMA total instead of the configured size both in XML and for
uses in the code once NUMA is enabled for a domain.
One test case change is necessary as the rounding of the individual cell
sizes was not matching the rounding of the total size.
Commit 5aee81a0 introduced a new test for disk-serial. The test fails
on i686 arch because there is no need to add "-cpu qemu32" to command

don't add the "-cpu qemu32" to command while running the test on i686 or

There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user. Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED. Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.
Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong. The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.

This patch resolves a situation where the same "<target dev='$name'...>"
can be used for multiple disks in the domain.
While the $name is "mostly" advisory regarding the expected order that
the disk is added to the domain and not guaranteed to map to the device
name in the guest OS, it still should be unique enough such that other
domblk* type operations can be performed.
Without the patch, the domblklist will list the same Target twice:
$ virsh domblklist $dom
Target Source
------------------------------------------------
sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/file.qcow2
sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/file.img
Additionally, getting domblkstat, domblkerror, domblkinfo, and other block*
type calls will not be able to reference the second target.
Fortunately, hotplug disallows adding a "third" sda value:
$ qemu-img create -f raw /var/lib/libvirt/images/file2.img 10M
$ virsh attach-disk $dom /var/lib/libvirt/images/file2.img sda
error: Failed to attach disk
error: operation failed: target sda already exists
$
BUT, it since 'sdb' doesn't exist one would get the following on the same
hotplug attempt, but changing to use 'sdb' instead of 'sda'
$ virsh attach-disk $dom /var/lib/libvirt/images/file2.img sdb
error: Failed to attach disk
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Duplicate ID 'scsi0-0-1' for device
$
Since we cannot fix this issue at parsing time, the best that can be done so
as to not "lose" a domain is to make the check prior to starting the guest
with the results as follows:
$ virsh start $dom
error: Failed to start domain $dom
error: XML error: target 'sda' duplicated for disk sources '/var/lib/libvirt/images/file.qcow2' and '/var/lib/libvirt/images/file.img'
$
Running 'make check' found a few more instances in the tests where this
duplicated target dev value was being used. These also exhibited some
duplicated 'id=' values (negating the uniqueness argument of aliases) in
the corresponding .args file and of course the *xmlout version of a few
input XML files.
Well, not that we are not formatting invalid XML, rather than not as
beautiful as we can:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'>

The mask was stored both as a bitmap and as a string. The string is used

The test change is necessary as the bitmap formatter doesn't "optimize"

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.

In our RNG schema we do allow multiple (different) seclabels per-domain,

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:

it too.

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.

value of boolean properities. Unify the used style so that we can
generate it later and fix test cases.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170492
In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:
<vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
gets translated into this one:
<vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.
Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

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.

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

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
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
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it

result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.

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.

<backend tap='/dev/net/tun' vhost='/dev/net-vhost'/>
We already are checking for negative value, reporting an error, but
using wrong function and the check only succeeds when a value that
cannot be converted to number successfully is encountered. This patch
provides just a minor change in call of the right version
of function virStrToLong.

I noticed this with the recent iothread pinning code, but the
problem existed longer than that. The XML validation required
users to supply <cputune> children in a strict order, even though
there was no conceptual reason why they can't occur in any order.

Add an option 'iothreadpin' to the <cpuset> to allow for setting the
CPU affinity for each IOThread.
The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to
assign each iothread to a specific CPU, although iothreads ids start
at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.
QEMU now supports UEFI with the following command line:
-drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on \
-drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 \
where the first line reflects <loader> and the second one <nvram>.
Moreover, these two lines obsolete the -bios argument.
Note that UEFI is unusable without ACPI. This is handled properly now.
Among with this extension, the variable file is expected to be
writable and hence we need security drivers to label it.

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

To date, anyone performing a block copy and pivot ends up with
the destination being treated as <disk type='file'>. While this
works for data access for a block device, it has at least one
noticeable shortcoming: virDomainGetBlockInfo() reports allocation
differently for block devices visited as files (the size of the
device) than for block devices visited as <disk type='block'>
(the maximum sector used, as reported by qemu); and this difference
is significant when trying to manage qcow2 format on block devices
that can be grown as needed.
Of course, the more powerful virDomainBlockCopy() API can already
express the ability to set the <disk> type. But a new API can't
be backported, while a new flag to an existing API can; and it is
also rather inconvenient to have to resort to the full power of
generating XML when just adding a flag to the older call will do
the trick. So this patch enhances blockcopy to let the user flag
when the resulting XML after the copy must list the device as
type='block'.

New flag.

This commit is rather big. Firstly, the in memory config
representation is adjusted like if security_driver was set to "none".
The rest is then just adaptation to the new code that will generate

For virtio-blk-pci disks with the disk iothread attribute that are
running the correct emulator, add the "iothread=iothread#" to the
-device command line in order to enable iothreads for the disk as
long as the command is available, the disk iothread value provided is
valid, and is supported for the disk device being added
Add a new capability to ensure the iothreads feature exists for the qemu
emulator being run - requires the "query-iothreads" QMP command. Using the
domain XML add correspoding command argument in order to generate the
threads. The iothreads will use a name space "iothread#" where, the
future patch to add support for using an iothread to a disk definition to
merely define which of the available threads to use.
Add tests to ensure the xml/argv processing is correct. Note that no
change was made to qemuargv2xmltest.c as processing the -object element
would require knowing more than just iothreads.
QEMU 2.1 added support for the kvm=off option to the -cpu command,
allowing the KVM hypervisor signature to be hidden from the guest.
This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
guest as well as allowing certain drivers which test for the
hypervisor to load. Domain XML syntax is as follows:
<domain type='kvm>
...
<features>
...
<kvm>
<hidden state='on'/>
</kvm>
</features>

When trying to set numatune mode directly using virsh numatune command,
correct error is raised, however numatune structure was not deallocated,
thus resulting in creating an empty numatune element in the guest XML,
if none was present before. Running the same command aftewards results
in a successful change with broken XML structure. Patch fixes the
deallocation problem as well as checking for invalid attribute
combination VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_PLACEMENT_AUTO + a nonempty nodeset.

There's this <driver/> element under <interface/> which can have
several attributes. However, the driver element is currently formated
only if the driver's name or txmode has been specified. This makes
only a little sense as we parse even partial <driver/>, for instance:
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='52:54:00:e5:48:58'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver ioeventfd='on' event_idx='on' queues='5'/>
</interface>
But such XML would never get formatted back.

Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).
The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
<host name='example.org' port='3260'/>
<auth username='myname'>
<secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>
</auth>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='2' unit='5'/>
</hostdev>
The controller element will mimic the existing scsi_host code insomuch
as when 'lsi' and 'virtio-scsi' are used.
A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the
same way as block copy jobs, it is easiest to track all bookkeeping
for the commit job by reusing the <mirror> element. This patch
adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>. Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit). It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment. In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job. Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.
A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion. But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job. Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job. Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.
Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

Libvirt documents that the default entropy source for the 'random'
backend of a RNG device is /dev/random. Instead of storing and
propagating NULL across our code and checking it in multiple places fill
the default in the post parse callback and use that in the other places.

Currently, we only bind the whole QEMU domain to memory nodes
specified in nodemask altogether. That, however, doesn't make much
sense when one wants to control from where the memory for particular
guest nodes should be allocated. QEMU allows us to do that by
specifying 'host-nodes' parameter for the 'memory-backend-ram' object,
so let's use that.
