Bugs have been found in the VirtualBox API C bindings. These bugs have
been fixed in versions 4.2.20 and 4.3.4. However, the changes in the
C bindings are incompatible with the vbox_CAPI_v4_2.h and vbox_CAPI_v4_3.h
files which are bundled in libvirt source code.
This is why the following patch adds vbox_CAPI_v4_2_20.h and
vbox_CAPI_v4_3_4.h.
The actual underlying problem here is that until now,
libvirt assumed that VirtualBox API can only change between minor
versions (4.2 -> 4.3), but we have a case here where it changed
(or got fixed) between patch versions (4.2.18 -> 4.2.20).
This patch makes the VBOX_API_VERSION represent the full API
version number (i.e 4002 => 4002000) so there are specific version
numbers for Vbox 4.2.20 (4002020) and 4.3.4 (4003004)
Libvirtd would crash if a domain contained an empty cdrom drive of
type='volume' as the disk def->srcpool member would be dereferenced. Fix
it by checking if the source pool is present before dereferencing it.
Also alter tests to catch this issue in the future.

- argv[0] may not contain a full path to the binary, however it should

To retrieve node cpu statistics on Linux system, the
linuxNodeGetCPUstats function simply uses STRPREFIX() to match the cpuid
with the one read from /proc/stat. However, as the file is read line by
line it may happen, that some CPUs share the same prefix. So if user
requested stats for the first CPU, which is offline, then there's no
cpu1 in the stats file so the one that we match is cpu10. Which is
obviously wrong. Fortunately, the IDs are terminated by a space, so we
can utilize that.

SCSI passthrough disks (<disk .. device="lun">) can't be used as backing
for snapshots. Currently with upstream qemu the vm crashes on such
attempt.
This patch adds a early check to catch an attempt to do such a snapshot
and rejects it right away. qemu will fix the issue but this will let us
control the error message.
I noticed this problem when adding systemd support to netcf, because I
setup the configure.ac to automatically prefer using systemd over
initscripts when possible - although I had copied the
install-data-local target from the example of libvirt's
"libvirt-guests" service more or less verbatim, "make distcheck" would
fail because it was trying to install the service file directly into
/lib/systemd/system rather than into
/home/user/some/unimportant/name/lib/systemd/system.
This is caused by the install/uninstall rules for the systemd unit
files relying on $(DESTDIR) pointing the installed files to the right
place, but in reality $(DESTDIR) is empty during this part of make
distcheck - it instead sets $(prefix) with the toplevel directory used
for its test build/install/uninstall cycle.
(This problem hasn't been seen when running "make distcheck" in
libvirt because libvirt will never build/install systemd support
unless explicitly told to do so on the configure commandline, and
"make distcheck" doesn't put the "--with-initscript=..." option on the
configure commandline.)
I verified that the same problem does exist in libvirt by modifying
libvirt's configure.ac to set:
init_systemd=yes
with_init_script=systemd+redhat
This forces a build/install of the systemd unit files during
distcheck, which yields an error like this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 virtlockd.service \
/lib/systemd/system/
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libvirt-qemu.la'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove '/lib/systemd/system/virtlockd.service': Permission denied
make[4]: *** [install-systemd] Error 1
After adding $(prefix) to all the definitions of SYSTEMD_UNIT_DIR,
make distcheck now completes successfully with the modified
configure.ac, and the above lines change to something like this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 virtlockd.service \
/home/laine/devel/libvirt/libvirt-1.2.1/_inst/lib/systemd/system/
We shouldn't access the domain definition while we are in the monitor
section as the domain is unlocked. Additionally after we exit from the
monitor we need to check if the VM is still alive. Not doing so resulted
in a crash if qemu exits while attempting to do an external VM snapshot.
spice-server offers an API to disable file transfer messages
on the agent channel between the client and the guest.
This is supported in qemu through the disable-agent-file-xfer option.
This patch exposes this option to libvirt.
Adds a new element 'filetransfer', with one property,
'enable', which accepts a boolean.
Default is enabled, for backward compatibility.
Depends on the capability exported in the first patch of the series.

If none (KVM, VFIO) of the supported PCI passthrough methods is known to

rather than letting attachment fail with a more cryptic message such as

Since commit v0.9.0-47-g4e8969e (released in 0.9.1) some failures during
device detach were reported to callers of virPCIDeviceBindToStub as
success. For example, even though a device seemed to be detached
virsh # nodedev-detach pci_0000_07_05_0 --driver vfio
Device pci_0000_07_05_0 detached
one could find similar message in libvirt logs:
Failed to bind PCI device '0000:07:05.0' to vfio-pci: No such device
This patch fixes these paths and also avoids overwriting real errors
with errors encountered during a cleanup phase.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046919
When a PCI device is not bound to any driver, reattach should just
trigger driver probe rather than failing with
Invalid device 0000:00:19.0 driver file
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver is not a symlink
While virPCIDeviceGetDriverPathAndName was documented to return success
and NULL driver and path when a device is not attached to any driver but
didn't do so. Thus callers could not distinguish unbound devices from
failures.

When starting up a domain, the SELinux labeling is done depending on
current configuration. If the labeling fails we check for possible
causes, as not all labeling failures are fatal. For example, if the
labeled file is on NFS which lacks SELinux support, the file can still
be readable to qemu process. These cases are distinguished by the errno
code: NFS without SELinux support returns EOPNOTSUPP. However, we were
missing one scenario. In case there's a read-only disk on a read-only
NFS (and possibly any FS) and the labeling is just optional (not
explicitly requested in the XML) there's no need to make the labeling
error fatal. In other words, read-only file on read-only NFS can fail to
be labeled, but be readable at the same time.

The public virConnectRef and virConnectClose API are just thin
wrappers around virObjectRef/virObjectRef, with added object
validation and an error reset. Within our backend drivers, use
of the object validation is just an inefficiency since we always
pass valid objects. More important to think about is what
happens with the error reset; our uses of virConnectRef happened
to be safe (since we hadn't encountered any earlier errors), but
in several cases the use of virConnectClose could lose a real
error.
Ideally, we should also avoid calling virConnectOpen() from
within backend drivers - but that is a known situation that
needs much more design work.

Several APIs clear out a user input buffer before attempting to
populate it; but in a few cases we missed this memset if we
detect a reason for an early exit. Note that these APIs
check for non-NULL arguments, and exit early with an error
message when NULL is passed in; which means that we must be
careful to avoid a NULL deref in order to get to that error
message. Also, we were inconsistent on the use of
sizeof(virType) vs. sizeof(expression); the latter is more
robust if we ever change the type of the expression (although
such action is unlikely since these types are part of our
public API).

In a "for" loop there are created two new strings and they may not

To allow using the storage driver APIs to do operation on generic domain
disks we will need to introduce internal storage pools that will give is
a base to support this stuff even on files that weren't originally
defined as a part of the pool.
This patch introduces the 'internal' flag for a storage pool that will
prevent it from being listed along with the user defined storage pools.
