I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.
It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0
The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".
If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.
I have already filled a bug report (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ), the topic was
already on the list some months ago:

It is possible to deadlock libvirt by having a domain with XML
longer than PIPE_BUF, and by writing a hook script that closes
stdin early. This is because libvirt was keeping a copy of the
child's stdin read fd open, which means the write fd in the
parent will never see EPIPE (remember, libvirt should always be
run with SIGPIPE ignored, so we should never get a SIGPIPE signal).
Since there is no error, libvirt blocks waiting for a write to
complete, even though the only reader is also libvirt. The
solution is to ensure that only the child can act as a reader
before the parent does any writes; and then dealing with the
fallout of dealing with EPIPE.
Thankfully, this is not a security hole - since the only way to
trigger the deadlock is to install a custom hook script, anyone
that already has privileges to install a hook script already has
privileges to do any number of other equally disruptive things
to libvirt; it would only be a security hole if an unprivileged
user could install a hook script to DoS a privileged user.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun): Close parent's copy of child
read fd earlier.
(virCommandProcessIO): Don't let EPIPE be fatal; the child may
be done parsing input.
* tests/commandhelper.c (main): Set up a SIGPIPE situation.
* tests/commandtest.c (test20): Trigger it.

This patch resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827519
The problem is that an interface with type='hostdev' will have an
alias of the form "hostdev%d", while the function that looks through
existing netdevs to determine the name to use for a new addition will
fail if there's an existing entry that does not match the form
"net%d".
This is another of the handful of places that need an exception due to
the hybrid nature of <interface type='hostdev'> (which is not exactly
an <interface> or a <hostdev>, but is both at the same time).

Wen Congyang reported that we have a double-close bug if we fail
virFDStreamOpenInternal, since childfd duplicated one of the fds[]
array contents. In truth, since we always transfer both members
of fds to other variables, we should close the fds through those
other names, and just use fds[] for pipe().
Bug present since 0.9.0 (commit e886237a).
* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal): Swap scope of
childfd and fds[], to avoid a double close.
(cherry picked from commit f3cfc7c884)
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki reported a nasty double-free bug when virCommand
is used to convert a string into input to a child command. The
problem is that the poll() loop of virCommandProcessIO would close()
the write end of the pipe in order to let the child see EOF, then
the caller virCommandRun() would also close the same fd number, with
the second close possibly nuking an fd opened by some other thread
in the meantime. This in turn can have all sorts of bad effects.
The bug has been present since the introduction of virCommand in
commit f16ad06f.
This is based on his first attempt at a patch, at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823716
* src/util/command.c (_virCommand): Drop inpipe member.
(virCommandProcessIO): Add argument, to avoid closing caller's fd
without informing caller.

Autoconf 2.60 and later insist on using ${datarootdir}, rather than

it is possible to set configure arguments so that they differ):
config.status: creating libvirt.pc
config.status: WARNING: 'libvirt.pc.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
This patch follows the autoconf manual's suggestions for how to
support 2.59 (RHEL 5) and newer simultaneously.
* libvirt.pc.in (datarootdir): Define, so ${datadir} will not ignore
datarootdir when using newer autoconf.

Currently, we are logging only one side of pipes we
create in virCommandRequireHandshake(); This is enough
in cases where pipe2() returns two consecutive FDs. However,
it is not guaranteed and it may return any FDs.
Therefore, it's wise to log the other ends as well.

When getting number of CPUs the host has assigned, there was always
number "1" returned. Even though all lxc domains with no pinning
launched by libvirt run on all pCPUs (by default, no matter what's the

specified when creating the domain.

This reverts commit b1e374a7ac, which was
rather bad since I failed to consider all sides of the issue. The main
things I didn't consider properly are:
- a thread which sends a non-blocking call waits for the thread with
the buck to process the call
- the code doesn't expect non-blocking calls to remain in the queue
unless they were already partially sent
Thus, the reverted patch actually breaks more than what it fixes and
clients (which may even be libvirtd during p2p migrations) will likely
end up in a deadlock.

(cherry picked from commit b8e6021e7b)
When the last reference to a virConnectPtr is released by
libvirtd, it was possible for a deadlock to occur in the
virDomainEventState functions. The virDomainEventStatePtr
holds a reference on virConnectPtr for each registered
callback. When removing a callback, the virUnrefConnect
function is run. If this causes the last reference on the
virConnectPtr to be released, then virReleaseConnect can
be run, which in turns calls qemudClose. This function has
a call to virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn which is intended
to remove all callbacks associated with the virConnectPtr
instance. This will try to grab a lock on virDomainEventState
but this lock is already held. Deadlock ensues
Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fcbb526a840 (LWP 23185)):
Since each callback associated with a virConnectPtr holds a
reference on virConnectPtr, it is impossible for the qemudClose
method to be invoked while any callbacks are still registered.
Thus the call to virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn must in fact
be a no-op. Thus it is possible to just remove all trace of
virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn and avoid the deadlock.

If qemuPrepareHostdevUSBDevices fail it will roll back devices added
to the driver list of used devices. However, if it may fail because
the device is being used already. But then again - with roll back.
Therefore don't try to remove a usb device manually if the function
fail. Although, we want to remove the device if any operation
performed afterwards fail.
(cherry picked from commit 9c484e3dc5)
One of our latest USB device handling patches
05abd1507d introduced a regression.
That is, we first create a temporary list of all USB devices that
are to be used by domain just starting up. Then we iterate over and
check if a device from the list is in the global list of currently
assigned devices (activeUsbHostdevs). If not, we add it there and
continue with next iteration then. But if a device from temporary
list is either taken already or adding to the activeUsbHostdevs fails,
we remove all devices in temp list from the activeUsbHostdevs list.
Therefore, if a device is already taken we remove it from
activeUsbHostdevs even if we should not. Thus, next time we allow
the device to be assigned to another domain.
