If the stats for a block device can't be acquired from qemu we've
fallen back to loading them from the file on the disk in libvirt.
If qemu is not cooperating due to being stuck on an inaccessible NFS
share we would then attempt to read the files and get stuck too with
the VM object locked. All other APIs would eventually get stuck waiting
on the VM lock.
Avoid this problem by skipping the block stats if the VM is online but
the monitor did not provide any stats.

All qemu versions we support have QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE, so checking
for it is redundant. Remove the usage.
The code diff isn't clear, but all that code is just inindented
with no other change.
Test cases that hit qemuDomainAssignAddresses but don't have
infrastructure for specifying qemuCaps values see lots of
churn, since now PCI addresses are in the XML output.
hotplug APIs with the AFFECT_CONFIG flag are essentially replicating
'insert <device> into XML document, and redefine XML'. Thinking of
it this way, it's natural that we call virDomainDefPostParse after
manually editing the XML here.
Not only does doing so allow us to drop a bunch of open coded calls
to qemuDomainAssignAddresses, but it also means we are going through
the standard channels for XML validation and potentially catching
errors in user submitted XML.
This wires up qemuDomainAssignAddresses into the new
virDomainDefAssignAddressesCallback, so it's always triggered
via virDomainDefPostParse. We are essentially doing this already
with open coded calls sprinkled about.
qemu argv parse output changes slightly since previously it wasn't
hitting qemuDomainAssignAddresses.
When the <gic/> element in not present in the domain XML, use the
domain capabilities to figure out what GIC version is usable and
choose that one automatically.
This allows guests to be created on hardware that only supports
GIC v3 without having to update virt-manager and similar tools.
Keep using the default GIC version if the <gic/> element has been
added to the domain XML but no version has been specified, as not
to break existing guests.
We support omitting listen attribute of graphics element so we should
also support omitting address attribute of listen element. This patch
also updates libvirt to always add a listen element into domain XML
except for VNC graphics if socket attribute is specified.

The only QEMU versions that don't have such capability are <0.12,
which we no longer support anyway.
Additionally, this solves the issue of some QEMU binaries being
reported as not having such capability just because they lacked
the {kvm-}pci-assign QMP object.
Recent adjustments to the code produced a litany of coverity false
positives, but only because the "standard" procedure of setting a
variable to NULL after it was assigned to something else and keeping
the *Free/*FREE call in the cleanup path wasn't kept. So this patch
makes those adjustments (assign variable to NULL and remove the if
'ret < 0' condition to clean it up).

Move filling out the default video (v)ram to DeviceDefPostParse.
This means it can be removed from virDomainVideoDefParseXML

VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_XEN, since the per-driver callback gets called
before the generic one.
libvirt may automatically add a pci-root or pcie-root controller to a
domain, depending on the arch/machinetype, and it hopefully always
makes the right decision about which to add (since in all cases these
controllers are an implicit part of the virtual machine).
But it's always possible that someone will create a config that
explicitly supplies the wrong type of PCI controller for the selected
machinetype. In the past that would lead to an error later when
libvirt was trying to assign addresses to other devices, for example:
XML error: PCI bus is not compatible with the device at
0000:00:02.0. Device requires a PCI Express slot, which is not
provided by bus 0000:00
(that's the error message that appears if you replace the pcie-root
controller in a Q35 domain with a pci-root controller).
This patch adds a check at the same place that the implicit
controllers are added (to ensure that the same logic is used to check
which type of pci root is correct). If a pci controller with index='0'
is already present, we verify that it is of the model that we would
have otherwise added automatically; if not, an error is logged:
The PCI controller with index='0' must be " model='pcie-root' for
this machine type, " but model='pci-root' was found instead.

Remove the possibility that a NULL hostdev->privateData or a
disk->privateData could crash libvirtd by checking for NULL
before dereferencing for the secinfo structure in the
qemuDomainSecret{Disk|Hostdev}Destroy functions. The hostdevPriv
could be NULL if qemuProcessNetworkPrepareDevices adds a new
hostdev during virDomainNetGetActualHostdev that then gets
inserted via virDomainHostdevInsert. The hostdevPriv was added
by commit id '27726d8' and is currently only used by scsi hostdev.
SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.
This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.

Wire it up for qemu too
qemuDomainCheckDiskPresence has short-circuit code to skip the
determination of the disk backing chain for storage formats that can't
have backing volumes. The code treats VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE as not
having backing chain and skips the call to qemuDomainDetermineDiskChain.
This is wrong as qemuDomainDetermineDiskChain is responsible for storage
format detection and has logic to determine the default type if format
detection is disabled.
This allows to storage passed via <disk type="volume"> to circumvent the
enforcement to have correct storage format or that we shall default to
format='raw', since we don't set the default type via the post parse
callback for "volume" backed disks as the translation code could come up
with a better guess.

Commit c820fbff9f added support for iSCSI
disk as backing for <disk device='lun'>. We would not use it for a disk
type="volume" with direct access mode which basically maps to direct
iSCSI usage. Fix it by adding the storage source type accessor that
resolves the volume type.
For disks sources described by a libvirt volume we don't need to do a
complicated check since virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool already
correctly determines the actual disk type.
Replace the checks using a new accessor that does not open-code the
whole logic.

while support for virtio-scsi in general was added in qemu 1.4.
Modify the various mock capabilities replies (by hand) to reflect the

Thing is, for some reasons you can have your domain's RTC to be
in something different than UTC. More weirdly, it's not only time
zone what you can shift it of, but an arbitrary value. So, if
domain is configured that way, libvirt will correctly put it onto
qemu cmd line and moreover track it as this offset changes during
domain's life time (e.g. because guest OS decides the best thing
to do is set new time to RTC). Anyway, they way in which this
tracking is implemented is events. But we've got a problem if
change in guest's RTC occurs and the daemon is not running. The
event is lost and we end up reporting invalid value in domain
XML. Therefore, when the daemon is starting up again and it is
reconnecting to all running domains, re-fetch their RTC so the
correct offset value can be computed.

The default USB controller is not sent to destination as the older versions

support them. For some archs where the support started much later can
safely send the USB controllers without this worry. So, send the controller
to destination for all archs except x86. Moreover this is not very applicable
to x86 as the USB controller has model ich9_ehci1 on q35 and for pc-i440fx,
there cant be any slots before USB as it is fixed on slot 1.
The patch fixes a bug that, if the USB controller happens to occupy
a slot after disks/interfaces and one of them is hot-unplugged, then
the default USB controller added on destination takes the smallest slot
number and that would lead to savestate mismatch and migration
failure. Seen and verified on PPC64.

Rather than needing to pass the conn parameter to various command
line building API's, add qemuDomainSecretPrepare just prior to the
qemuProcessLaunch which calls qemuBuilCommandLine. The function
must be called after qemuProcessPrepareHost since it's expected
to eventually need the domain masterKey generated during the prepare
host call. Additionally, future patches may require device aliases
(assigned during the prepare domain call) in order to associate
the secret objects.
The qemuDomainSecretDestroy is called after the qemuProcessLaunch
finishes in order to clear and free memory used by the secrets
that were recently prepared, so they are not kept around in memory
too long.
Placing the setup here is beneficial for future patches which will
need the domain masterKey in order to generate an encrypted secret
along with an initialization vector to be saved and passed (since
the masterKey shouldn't be passed around).
Finally, since the secret is not added during command line build,

Introduce a new private structure to hold qemu domain auth/secret data.

The initial changes will handle the current username and secret values
for rbd and iscsi disks (in their various forms). The rbd secret is
stored as a base64 encoded value, while the iscsi secret is stored as
a plain text value. Future changes will store encoded/encrypted secret
data as well as an initialization vector needed to be given to qemu
in order to decrypt the encoded password along with the domain masterKey.
The inital assumption will be that VIR_DOMAIN_SECRET_INFO_PLAIN is
being used.

Similarly to what commit 7140807917 did with some internal paths,
clear vnc socket paths that were generated by us. Having such path in
the definition can cause trouble when restoring the domain. The path is

However, that ID will be different upon restoration, so qemu won't be
able to create that socket because the directory will not be prepared.
To be able to migrate to older libvirt, skip formatting the socket path
in migratable XML if it was autogenerated. And mark it as autogenerated
if it already exists and we're parsing live XML.

This error message was too specific, based on the incorrect assumption
that any error was cause by auto-added bridges:
failed to create PCI bridge on bus 2: too many devices

In practice you can't know if a bridge with an index <= the bus it's
connecting to was added automatically, or if it was a mistake in
explicit config, and the auto-add problem is going to be dealt with in
a different way in an upcoming patch. The new message is this:
PCI Controller at index 1 (0x01) has "
bus='0x02', but bus must be <= index
(note that index is given in both decimal and hex because it is
formatted as decimal in the XML, but bus is formatted as hex, and
displaying the hex value of index makes it easier to see the problem
when index > 9 (which will often be the case with PCIe, since most
controllers only have a single port, not 32 slots as with standard
PCI)).

This an ubuntu/debian packaging convention. At one point it may have
been an actually different binary, but at least as of ubuntu precise
(the oldest supported ubuntu distro, released april 2012) kvm-img is
just a symlink to qemu-img for back compat.
I think it's safe to drop support for it
QEMU introduced the query-gic-capabilities QMP command
with commit 4468d4e0f383: use the command, if available,
to probe available GIC capabilities.
The information obtained is stored in a virQEMUCaps
instance, and will be later used to fill in a
virDomainCaps instance.
The struct contains a single boolean field, 'supported':
the meaning of this field is too generic to be limited to
devices only, and in fact it's already being used for
other things like loaders and OSs.
Instead of trying to come up with a more generic name just
get rid of the struct altogether.
The common idiom in the driver API implementations is roughly:
- ACL check
- BeginJob (if needed)
- AgentAvailable (if needed)
- !IsActive
A few calls had an extra !IsActive before BeginJob, which doesn't
seem to serve much use. Drop them
