When you happen to have a libvirtd binary compiled with the
libxenlight driver (say you have installed xen-4.1 libraries)
but not running a xen enabled system, then libvirtd fails to start.
The cause is that libxlStartup() returns -1 when failing to initialize
the library, and this propagates to virStateInitialize() which consider
this a failure. We should only exit libxlStartup with an error code
if something like an allocation error occurs, not if the driver failed
to initialize.
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: fix libxlStartup() to not return -1
when failing to initialize the libxenlight library
Commit 78ba748ef1 claims to fix
documentation for swap_hard_limit virsh memtune option but it only fixes
documentation in formatdomain.html and libvirt.h. This patch completes
the task by fixing "virsh help memtune" output and memtune section of
virsh man page.
qemu driver uses a 4K buffer for reading qemu log file. This is enough
when only qemu's output is present in the log file. However, when
debugging messages are turned on, intermediate libvirt process fills the
log with a bunch of debugging messages before it executes qemu binary.
In such a case the buffer may become too small. However, we are not
really interested in libvirt messages so they can be filtered out from
the buffer.
It throws errors as long as the cgroup controller is not available,
regardless of whether we really want to use it to do setup or not,
which is not what we want, fixing it with throwing error when need
to use the controller.
And change "VIR_WARN" to "qemuReportError" for memory controller
incidentally.
We create a temporary file to save memory, and we will remove it after reading
memory to buffer. But we free the variable that contains the temporary filename
before we remove it. So we should free tmp after unlinking it.
The iohelper binary is not required on Win32, although it compiles
without trouble. Simply remove it from the RPM.
* mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Remove iohelper
printf on Win32 does not necessarily support %lld and we don't
have GNULIBs wrapper for printf(). Switch to use asprintf() for
which we do have a gnulib wrapper with %lld support
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c: Fix formatting
of %lld on Win32
* cfg.mk: Don't require use of virAsprintf since this is an
example app for out of tree users to follow
strcase{cmp/str} have the drawback of being sensitive to the global
locale; this is unacceptable in a library setting. Prefer a
hard-coded C locale alternative for all but virsh, which is user
facing and where the global locale isn't changing externally.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for c-strcasestr change.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Drop strcasestr, add c-strcase
and c-strcasestr.
* cfg.mk (sc_avoid_strcase): New rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_avoid_strcase): New exception.
* src/internal.h (STRCASEEQ, STRCASENEQ, STRCASEEQLEN)
(STRCASENEQLEN): Adjust offenders.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextEjectMedia):
Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c (namesorter): Document exception.
If qemu quited unexpectedly when we call qemuMonitorJSONHMP(),
libvirt will crash.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. use gdb to attach libvirtd, and set a breakpoint in the function
qemuMonitorSetCapabilities()
2. start a vm
3. let the libvirtd to run until qemuMonitorJSONSetCapabilities() returns.
4. kill the qemu process
5. continue running libvirtd

If the monitor met a error, and we will call qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF().
But we may try to send monitor command after qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF()
returned. Then libvirtd will be blocked in qemuMonitorSend().
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. use gdb to attach libvirtd, and set a breakpoint in the function
qemuConnectMonitor()
2. start a vm
3. let the libvirtd to run until qemuMonitorOpen() returns.
4. kill the qemu process
5. continue running libvirtd

Currently libvirt's default logging is limited and it is difficult to
determine what was happening when a proglem occurred (especially on a
machines where one don't know the detail.) This patch helps to do that
by making additional logging available for the following events:
creating/defining/undefining domains
creating/defining/undefining/starting/stopping networks
creating/defining/undefining/starting/stopping storage pools
creating/defining/undefining/starting/stopping storage volumes.
* AUTHORS: add Naoya Horiguchi
* src/network/bridge_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
src/storage/storage_driver.c: provide more VIR_INFO logging
Not sure if it's the correct way to add cputune xml for xend driver,
and besides, seems "xm driver" and "xen hypervisor" also support
vcpu affinity, do we need to add support for them too?
When domain startup, setting cpu affinity and cpu shares according
to the cputune xml specified in domain xml.
Modify "qemudDomainPinVcpu" to update domain config for vcpupin,
and modify "qemuSetSchedulerParameters" to update domain config
for cpu shares.
v1 - v2:
* Use "VIR_ALLOC_N" instead of "VIR_ALLOC_VAR"
* But keep raising error when it fails on adding vcpupin xml
entry, as I still don't have a better idea yet.
Implementations of following functions:
virDomainVcpupinIsDuplicate
virDomainVcpupinFindByVcpu
virDomainVcpupinAdd
Update "virDomainDefParseXML" to parse, and "virDomainDefFormatXML"
to build cputune xml, also implementations of new internal helper
functions.
v1 - v2:
* Resolve potential crash bug of "virDomainVcpupinAdd"
Also related new functions' declaration, and expose the new introduced
functions in libvirt_private.syms.
v1 - v2:
Don't expose "virAllocVar" in libvirt_private.syms
My earlier testing for commit 34fa0de0 was done while starting
just-built libvirt from an unconfined_t shell, where the fds happened
to work when transferring to qemu. But when installed and run under
virtd_t, failure to label the raw file (with no compression) or the
pipe (with compression) triggers SELinux failures when passing fds
over SCM_RIGHTS to svirt_t qemu.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): When passing
FDs, make sure they are labeled.
First fallout of fd: migration - it looks like SELinux enforcing
_does_ require fd labeling (running uninstalled libvirtd from an
unconstrained shell had no problems, but once faked out by doing
chcon `stat -c %C /usr/sbin/libvirtd` daemon/libvirtd
run_init $PWD/daemon/libvirtd
to run it with the same context as an init script service, and with
SELinux enforcing, I got a rather confusing failure:
error: Failed to save domain fedora_12 to fed12.img
error: internal error unable to send TAP file handle: No file descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS
This fixes the error message, then I need to figure out a subsequent
patch that does the fsetfilecon() necessary to keep things happy.
It also appears that libvirtd hangs on a failed fd transfer; I don't
know if that needs an independent fix.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextSendFileHandle):
Improve message, since TAP is no longer only client.
* src/Makefile.am src/libvirt_private.syms configure.ac: share and
reuse the sexpr routines from sexpr.h of the old xen driver
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: implements libxlDomainXMLFromNative and
libxlDomainXMLToNative
Hook the virtual cpu functions to their libxenlight counterparts
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: implements libxlDomainSetVcpus,
libxlDomainGetVcpus, libxlDomainSetVcpusFlags,
libxlDomainGetVcpusFlags and libxlDomainPinVcpu
* src/libxl/libxl_conf.h: add the necessary fields to the driver
private structure
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c: add lifecycle event support and entry
points for event(de)register(any)
The daemon loops over the linked list of streams when a client
quits, closing any that the client hadn't already closed. Except
it didn't ever move to the next element in the list!
* daemon/stream.c: Fix loop over linked list of streams
The new commands vol-upload and vol-download, allow a local file
to be transferred to/from a storage volume.
* tools/virsh.c: Add vol-upload and vol-download commands
* tools/virsh.pod: Document new commands
New APIs are added allowing streaming of content to/from
storage volumes.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virStorageVolUpload and
virStorageVolDownload APIs
* src/driver.h, src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms: Stub
code for new APIs
* src/storage/storage_driver.c, src/esx/esx_storage_driver.c:
Add dummy entries in driver table for new APIs
The O_NONBLOCK flag doesn't work as desired on plain files
or block devices. Introduce an I/O helper program that does
the blocking I/O operations, communicating over a pipe that
can support O_NONBLOCK
* src/fdstream.c, src/fdstream.h: Add non-blocking I/O
on plain files/block devices
* src/Makefile.am, src/util/iohelper.c: I/O helper program
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/lxc/lxc_driver.c,
src/uml/uml_driver.c, src/xen/xen_driver.c: Update for
streams API change
The example C event loop code is a nasty hack and not compliant
with the require API semantics. Delete this, so that developers
don't mistakenly copy it. Instead call the new public event loop
APIs.
Update the python event loop example, so that it can optionally
use the public event APIs, as an alternative to the pure python
code. The pure python event code is a good working example, so
don't delete it.
Also make the python example use a read only connection to avoid
authentication prompts
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c: Replace event
loop code with use of public APIs
* examples/domain-events/events-python/event-test.py: Allow
optional use of new public event APIs
Spawn the compressor ourselves, instead of requiring the shell.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): Spawn
compression helper process when needed.
SELinux labeling and cgroup ACLs aren't required if we hand a
pre-opened fd to qemu. All the more reason to love fd: migration.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): Skip steps
that are irrelevant in fd migration.
This points out that core dumps (still) don't work for root-squash
NFS, since the fd is not opened correctly. This patch should not
introduce any functionality change, it is just a refactoring to
avoid duplicated code.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.h (qemuMigrationToFile): New prototype.
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): New function.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainSaveFlag, doCoreDump): Use
it.
Direct access to an open file is so much simpler than passing
everything through a pipe!
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudOpenAsUID)
(qemudDomainSaveImageClose): Delete.
(qemudDomainSaveImageOpen): Rename...
(qemuDomainSaveImageOpen): ...and drop read_pid argument. Use
virFileOpenAs instead of qemudOpenAsUID.
(qemudDomainSaveImageStartVM, qemudDomainRestore)
(qemudDomainObjRestore): Rename...
(qemuDomainSaveImageStartVM, qemuDomainRestore)
(qemDomainObjRestore): ...and simplify accordingly.
(qemudDomainObjStart, qemuDriver): Update callers.
