Bug introduced in commit 35abced. On an inactive domain,
$ virsh snapshot-create-as dom snap
$ virsh snapshot-create dom
$ virsh snapshot-create dom
$ virsh snapshot-delete --children dom snap
could crash libvirtd, due to a use-after-free that results
when the callback freed the current element in the iteration.

current child.
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
The auto-generated WWN comply with the new addressing schema of WWN:
<quote>
the first nibble is either hex 5 or 6 followed by a 3-byte vendor
identifier and 36 bits for a vendor-specified serial number.
</quote>
We choose hex 5 for the first nibble. And for the 3-bytes vendor ID,
we uses the OUI according to underlying hypervisor type, (invoking
virConnectGetType to get the virt type). e.g. If virConnectGetType
returns "QEMU", we use Qumranet's OUI (00:1A:4A), if returns
ESX|VMWARE, we use VMWARE's OUI (00:05:69). Currently it only
supports qemu|xen|libxl|xenapi|hyperv|esx|vmware drivers. The last
36 bits are auto-generated.
Some audit records generated by libvirt contain fields enclosed by single
quotes. Since those fields are inside the msg field, which is enclosed by
single quotes, these records generated by libvirt are not correctly parsed by
libauparse.
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.
Fix tests to pass with this change.
Security label type 'none' requires relabel to be set to 'no' so there's
no reason to output this extra attribute. Moreover, since relabel is
internally stored in a negative from (norelabel), the default value for
relabel would be 'yes' in case there is no <seclabel> element in domain
configuration. In case VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_DEFAULT turns into
VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_NONE, we would incorrectly output relabel='yes' for
seclabel type 'none'.
Commit b170eb99 introduced a bug: domains that had an explicit
<seclabel type='none'/> when started would not be reparsed if
libvirtd restarted. It turns out that our testsuite was not
exercising this because it never tried anything but inactive
parsing. Additionally, the live XML for such a domain failed
to re-validate. Applying just the tests/ portion of this patch
will expose the bugs that are fixed by the other two files.

This eliminates the warning message reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624447
It was caused by a failure to open an image file that is not
accessible by root (the uid libvirtd is running as) because it's on a
root-squash NFS share, owned by a different user, with permissions of
660 (or maybe 600).
The solution is to use virFileOpenAs() rather than open(). The
codepath that generates the error is during qemuSetupDiskCGroup(), but
the actual open() is in a lower-level generic function called from
many places (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath), so some other pieces of the
code were touched just to add dummy (or possibly useful) uid and gid
arguments.
Eliminating this warning message has the nice side effect that the
requested operation may even succeed (which in this case isn't
necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything either).
Our HACKING discourages use of malloc and free, for at least

Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.
With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.
This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement
security_default_confined = 1|0 (default == 1)
security_require_confined = 1|0 (default == 0)
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new
seclabel types

seclabel: allow a seclabel override on a disk src
These two commits changed the sec label parsing code so that
the same code dealt with both the VM level sec label, and the
per device label. Unfortunately, as we add more options to the
VM level sec label, the logic required to use the same parsing
code for the per device label becomes unintelligible.

This patch adds a new element <title> to the domain XML. This attribute
can hold a short title defined by the user to ease the identification of

*src/conf/domain_conf.c
*src/conf/domain_conf.h

- add code to parse and create XML with the new attribute
This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element
of domain XML. Valid values of "rawio" attribute are "yes"
and "no".
rawio='yes' indicates the disk is desirous of CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
If you specify the following XML:
<disk type='block' device='lun' rawio='yes'>
...
</disk>
the domain will be granted CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
(of course, the domain have to be executed with root privilege)
NOTE:
- "rawio" attribute is only valid when device='lun'
- At the moment, any other disks you won't use rawio can use rawio.

This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562
Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).
One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.
In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:
<hostdev>
...
<rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
...
</hostdev
(similarly for <interface>).
When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.
After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).
Since these two items are now in the virDomainDeviceInfo struct, it
makes sense to parse/format them in the functions written to
parse/format that structure. Not all types of devices allow them, so
two internal flags are added to indicate when it is appropriate to do
so.
I was lucky - only one test case needed to be re-ordered!
To help consolidate the commonality between virDomainHostdevDef and
virDomainNetDef into as few members as possible (and because I
think it makes sense), this patch moves the rombar and bootIndex
members into the "info" member that is common to both (and to all the
other structs that use them).
It's a bit problematic that this gives rombar and bootIndex to many
device types that don't use them, but this is already the case for the
master and mastertype members of virDomainDeviceInfo, and is properly
commented as such in the definition.
Note that this opens the door to supporting rombar for other devices
that are attached to the guest PCI bus - virtio-blk-pci,
virtio-net-pci, various other network adapters - which which have that
capability in qemu, but previously had no support in libvirt.
Add kvmclock timer to documentation, schema and parsers. Keep the
platform timer first since it is kind of special, and alphabetize
the others when possible (i.e. when it does not change the ABI).

Compare two filters' XML for equality and only rebuild/instantiate the new
filter if the new and current filters are found to be different. This
improves performance during an update of a filter with no obvious change
or the reloading of filters during a 'kill -SIGHUP'
Introduce a function that rebuilds all running VMs' filters. Call
this function when reloading the nwfilter driver.
This addresses a problem introduced by the 2nd patch that typically
causes no filters to be reinstantiate anymore upon driver reload
since their XML has not changed. Yet the current behavior is that
upon a SIGHUP all filters get reinstantiated.

This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

There are several reasons for doing this:
- the CPU specification is out of libvirt's control so we cannot
guarantee stable guest ABI
- not every feature of a CPU may actually work as expected when
advertised directly to a guest
- migration between two machines with exactly the same CPU may work but
no guarantees can be made
- this mode is not supported and its use is at one's own risk
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag for virDomainGetXMLDesc may be used to
get updated custom mode guest CPU definition in case it depends on host
CPU. This patch implements the same behavior for host-model and
host-passthrough CPU modes.
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
There are three address validation routines that do nothing:
virDomainDeviceDriveAddressIsValid()
virDomainDeviceUSBAddressIsValid()
virDomainDeviceVirtioSerialAddressIsValid()
Remove them, and replace their call sites with "1" which is what they
currently return. In some cases this means we can remove an entire
if block.

Commit d09f6ba5feb655925175dc80122ca2a1e14db2b9 introduced a regression in event
registration. virDomainEventCallbackListAddID() will only return a positive
integer if the type of event being registered is VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE.
For other event types, 0 is always returned on success. This has the
unfortunate side effect of not enabling remote event callbacks because
remoteDomainEventRegisterAny() uses the return value from the local call to
determine if an event callback needs to be registered on the remote end.
Make sure virDomainEventCallbackListAddID() returns the callback count for the
eventID being registered.

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
Earlier, when the number of vcpus was greater than the topology allowed,
libvirt didn't raise an error and continued, resulting in running qemu
with parameters making no sense. Even though qemu did not report any
error itself, the number of vcpus was set to maximum allowed by the
topology.
