When support was added for the kvm hidden='on' attribute in commit
d07116, the version requirement was listed as "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)". However, this was added when libvirt was at version 1.2.8 - it
is *QEMU* that must be at version 2.1.0 or later.
This went unnoticed for a very long time (over 2 years). Then a week
or two ago a new Windows convert in the #virt channel on OFTC was told
he needed to use this feature (to prevent nvidia drivers in a guest
from refusing to work due to being run in a virtual machine). There
was some problem with it being recognized and "someone" (it may have
been me, or may have been someone else, I don't remember) pointed out
that the documentation at
http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html
says that it requires libvirt 2.1.0. The next several days were filled
with agony as a new convert to Linux first tried to upgrade a Linux
Mint host running their "LTS" version to something newer, then tried
to install a libvirt build built for Ubuntu onto this, and later back
to the old LTS Linux Mint. After this he tried building his own
libvirt from source (with all the expected problems), and finally
switched to Fedora. In the end it was hours and hours of everybody's
lives that they will never get back. To now learn that he didn't need
to do this (his original libvirt version was 1.3.3, so whatever his
problem was, it was elsewhere) makes the pain all that much worse.
To prevent this from happening again, this simple patch changes the
version requirement for the kvm hidden attribute from "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)" to "1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1.0)".

Hold on to your hats, because this is gonna be wild.
In bd3e16a3 I've tried to expose sanlock io_timeout. What I had
not realized (because there is like no documentation for sanlock
at all) was very unusual way their APIs work. Basically, what we
do currently is:
sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout);
which adds a lockspace to sanlock daemon. One would expect that
io_timeout sets the io_timeout for it. Nah! That's where you are
completely off the tracks. It sets timeout for next lockspace you
will probably add later. Therefore:
sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout = 10);
/* adds new lockspace with default io_timeout */
sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout = 20);
/* adds new lockspace with io_timeout = 10 */
sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout(&ls, io_timeout = 40);
/* adds new lockspace with io_timeout = 20 */
And so on. You get the picture.
Fortunately, we don't allow setting io_timeout per domain or per
domain disk. So we just need to set the default used in the very
first step and hope for the best (as all the io_timeout-s used
later will have the same value).

Currently, we are checking for sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout
which is good for now. But in a subsequent patch we are going to
use sanlock_write_lockspace (which sets an initial value for io
timeout for sanlock). Now, there is no reason to check for both
functions in sanlock library as the sanlock_write_lockspace was
introduced in 2.7 release and the one we are currently checking
for in the 2.5 release. Therefore it is safe to assume presence
of sanlock_add_lockspace_timeout when sanlock_write_lockspace
is detected.
Moreover, the macro for conditional compilation is renamed to
HAVE_SANLOCK_IO_TIMEOUT (as it now encapsulates two functions).

If this reminds you of a commit message from around a year ago, it's
41c2aa729f and yes, we're dealing with
"the same thing" again. Or f309db1f4d and
it's similar.
There is a logic in place that if there is no real need for
memory-backend-file, qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() returns 0. However
that wasn't the case with hugepage backing. The reason for that was
that we abused the 'pagesize' variable for storing that information, but
we should rather have a separate one that specifies whether we really
need the new object for hugepage backing. And that variable should be
set only if this particular NUMA cell needs special treatment WRT
hugepages.

Introduced by commit id '834c5720'.
During the code motion and creation of vsh.c, the function 'vshDeinit()'
in the (new) vsh.c was altered from whence it came in virsh.c such that
calling 'vshReadlineDeinit(ctl)' was conditional on "ctl->imode".
This causes a problem for the interactive running if the "quit" and "exit"
commands are used because 'cmdQuit' will clear ctl->imode, thus when the
interactive loop in main() of virsh.c exits because ctl->mode is clear and
virshDeinit is called which calls vshDeinit, the history file is now not
written. Conversely, if one had exited the interactive loop via pressing
<ctrl>D the file would be created because loop control is broken on EOF
and ctl->imode is not set to false.
This patch will remove the conditional call to vshReadlineDeinit and
restore the former behaviour.
Commit 6c504d6a added a note to the virsh man page about the
deprecation of 'cap' and 'weight' settings for the credit
scheduler. To this day, the default scheduler in Xen is credit
and it supports setting 'cap' and 'weight'. Remove the deprecation
notice from the note on the Xen credit scheduler.
Reported-by: Volo M. <vm@vovs.net>
Due to a copy and paste error, the scheduler 'cap' parameter
was over-writing the 'weight' parameter when preparing the
return parameters in libxlDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags.
As a result, the scheduler weight was never shown when getting
schedinfo and setting the weight failed as well
virsh schedinfo testvm
Scheduler : credit
cap : 0
virsh schedinfo testvm --cap 50 --weight 500
Scheduler : credit
error: invalid scheduler option: weight
The obvious fix is to assign the 'caps' parameter to the correct
item in the parameter list.

And allow libxl to handle channel element which creates a Xen
console visible to the guest as a low-bandwitdh communication
channel. If type is PTY we also fetch the tty after boot using
libxl_channel_getinfo to fetch the tty path. On socket case,
we autogenerate a path if not specified in the XML. Path autogenerated
is slightly different from qemu driver: qemu stores also on
"channels/target" but it creates then a directory per domain with
each channel target name. libxl doesn't appear to have a clear
definition of private files associated with each domain, so for
simplicity we do it slightly different. On qemu each autogenerated
channel goes like:
channels/target/<domain-name>/<target name>
Whereas for libxl:
channels/target/<domain-name>-<target name>
Should note that if path is not specified it won't persist,
existing only on live XML, unless user had initially specified it.
Since support for libxl channels only came on Xen >= 4.5 we therefore
need to conditionally compile it with LIBXL_HAVE_DEVICE_CHANNEL.

So far, when it comes to 'virsh update-device --config' of disks
we are limiting ourselves for just the disk source update and
just for CDROMs and floppies. This makes no sense. Especially if
you look around and see that we already allow full update to
graphics and net devices. So let's just take whatever XML user
wants to have there and replace our internal definition with it.

libxl events are delivered to libvirt via the libxlDomainEventHandler
callback registered with libxl. Documenation in
$xensrc/tools/libxl/libxl_event.h states that the callback "may occur
on any thread in which the application calls libxl". This can result
in deadlock since many of the libvirt callees of libxl hold a lock on
the virDomainObj they are working on. When the callback is invoked, it
attempts to find a virDomainObj corresponding to the domain ID provided
by libxl. Searching the domain obj list results in locking each obj
before checking if it is active, and its ID equals the requested ID.
Deadlock is possible when attempting to lock an obj that is already
locked further up the call stack. Indeed, Max Ustermann reported an
instance of this deadlock
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-November/msg00130.html
Guido Rossmueller also recently stumbled across it
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-September/msg00287.html
Fix the deadlock by moving the lookup of virDomainObj to the
libxlDomainShutdownThread. After this patch, libxl events are
enqueued on the libvirt side and processed by dedicated thread,
avoiding the described deadlock.

When creating a copy of virDomainDef we save ourselves the

We can't rely on def->emulator path. It may be provided by user
as we give them opportunity to provide their own XML for
migration. Therefore the path may point to just whatever binary
(or even to a non-existent file). Moreover, this path is meant
for destination, but the capabilities lookup is done on source.
What we can do is to assume same capabilities for post parse
callbacks as the running domain has. They will be used just to
add some default models/controllers/devices/... anyway.

Some callers might want to pass yet another pointer to opaque

enough because two threads executing post parse callback might

Based upon a patch from Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@gmail.com>, rather than
need to call virFindFileInPath twice, let's just save the path and pass it
along with the compressed type. (NB: the second call would be in virExec as
called from virCommandRunAsync which is called from qemuMigrationToFile
using the argument 'compressor' which up to this point would be the string
from the cfg file that isn't the fully qualified path).
Since we now have the path, we can remove qemuCompressProgramName which
would return NULL or the string representation of the compress type.
There's only one caller and the code is duplicitous just converting the
recently converted cfg image name back into it's string value in order to
get/find the path to the image. A subsequent patch can return this path.
Let's do some more code reuse - there are 3 other callers that care to
check/get the compress program. Each of those though cares whether the
requested cfg image is valid and exists. So, add a parameter to handle
those cases.
NB: We won't need to initialize the returned value in the case where
the cfg image doesn't exist since the called program will handle that.
Add a new parameter 'styleFormat' to be used when printing the
warning message so that it's "clearer" what style of compression
call caused the error. Add that style to both messages as a paremter.
Also a VIR_WARN error message doesn't need to be translated
(e.g. inside _()), so remove the need for the translation.
There's only one caller now anyway... Besides it's just a shell for
getting the compress type. Subsequent patches will return the path
to the compression program.
Split out the guts of getCompressionType to perform the same functionality
in the new helper program with a subsequent patch goal to be reusable for
other callers making similar checks/calls to ensure the compression type
is valid and that the compression program cannot be found.
If passing an empty usbdevice_list to libxl, qemu will always get an
-usb parameter for HVM guests with only non-USB input devices. This
causes qemu to crash when passing pvusb device on HVM guests.
The solution is to allocate the list only when an item to put in it
is found.
This patch also removes device data for qemu-1.2.0 as it was removed for
qemu-kvm-1.2.0 by commit ae3e29e6e. They are not required because we
parse only version from help output and return with error that this qemu
is too new to use help parsing.
