https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738725 documents that
'yum install libvirt' in Fedora 16 is rather noisy. This fixes
the problems.
* libvirt.spec.in (%post client): Silence chkconfig warning about
SysV services.
(%post) [with_cgconfig]: Drop for Fedora 15 and newer, where
systemd does this automatically.
For all types of disks other than qcow2, we were requesting that
SELinux labeling visit the new file as if it were qcow2, which
means labeling would try to find the backing files of an empty file.
And for a pre-existing qcow2 disk, we were passing NULL, which meant
that labelling tried to probe the file type (and if probing is
disabled, per the default qemu.conf, this made snapshots fail).
What we really want is to make SELinux labeling visit the new
file as raw; it will later be converted to qcow2 if qemu successfully
made the snapshot.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Force SELinux labeling
to avoid probe of new file.
For external snapshots to be useful on persistent domains, we must
alter the persistent definition alongside the running definition.
Thanks to the possibility of disk hotplug as well as of edits that
only affect the persistent xml, we can't assume that vm->def and
vm->newDef have the same disk at the same index, so we can only
update the persistent copy if the device destination matches up.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive)
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Also affect newDef, if
present.
Mingw lacks fsync, but gnulib provides that. Meanwhile, gnulib does
not (yet) provide fdatasync, so this is a quick hack to fake that
function on MacOS X; we can revert this configure change once gnulib
gives us a real module.
We have been implicitly relying on gnulib's largefile module being
pulled in by other modules, but it's better to make that explicit.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fsync. Make largefile use
explicit.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for fdatasync, and
fake it with fsync when not present.
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt
* configure.ac, src/Makefile.am: Ensure libvirt.so is linked
with -z nodelete
* cfg.mk, .gitignore, tests/Makefile.am, tests/shunloadhelper.c,
tests/shunloadtest.c: A test case to unload libvirt while
a thread is still running.
Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.
By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.
Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
When a domain is rebooted using libvirt API, we use fake reboot
consisting of shutting down and resetting the domain. Thus we see a
SHUTDOWN event and set gotShutdown flag. But we never reset it back and
if the domain crashes after it was rebooted this way, we consider it was
a normal shutdown and not a crash.
Commit 4454a9efc7 changed shutoff reason
from VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_CRASHED to VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF_FAILED in case we
see an unexpected EOF on monitor connection. But FAILED reason is
dedicated for domains that fail to start. CRASHED reason is the right
one to use in this situation.
Libvirt special-cases a specific VIR_ERR_RPC from the remote driver
back into VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT on the client, so that clients can
handle missing rpc functions the same whether the hypervisor driver
is local or remote. However, commit c1b22644 introduced a regression:
VIR_FROM_THIS changed from VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC, so the
special casing no longer works if the server uses the newer error
domain.
* src/rpc/virnetclientprogram.c
(virNetClientProgramDispatchError): Also cater to 0.9.3 and newer.
This patch fixes the bug shown in bugzilla 738778. It's not an nwfilter problem but a connection sharing / closure issue.

Mac OS X 10.6. Snow Leopard and probably other do not provide a mkfs
command to create filesystems. Macro MKFS then remained undefined and
did not provide any substitute, so that build failed on a missing
argument.
Struct virStoragePoolProbeResult was compiled in conditionaly, but
virStorageBackendFileSystemProbe used it unconditionaly. This patch
exempts the struct from conditional include.
Documentation did not specify, that some permissions are required on
target path for coredump for the user running the hypervisor.
Diff to v1:
- reword statements
With this patch, it is hopefully a bit more obvious that for
snapshot-create-as, a literal '--diskspec' is mandatory if name
or description was omitted, but optional if all earlier options
were provided.
These all denote two diskspecs and a description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb name desc
This gives two diskspecs but no description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
And this treats 'vda' as the description, with only one diskspec:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name vda vdb
The help output now shows:
snapshot-create-as <domain> [<name>] [<description>] [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [[--diskspec] <string>]...
I also checked the help output for echo and send-key, which are two
other variants of argv commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document when a literal
--diskspec must preceed a diskspec argument.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Update help output for argv when
naming the option is useful.
(vshCmddefGetData): Fix logic on when argv was seen.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Add tests to avoid regressions.
The new doc text had a few readability issues. Also, the
monitor command text copied a bit too much from the attach case.
* src/libvirt-qemu.c (virDomainQemuMonitorCommand)
(virDomainQemuAttach): Fix typos and grammar.
Adjust qemuMigrationRun() to use migMaxBandwidth in qemuDomainObjPrivate
structure when setting qemu migration speed. Caller-specified 'resource'
parameter overrides migMaxBandwidth.
The qemu migration speed default is 32MiB/s as defined in migration.c
/* Migration speed throttling */
static int64_t max_throttle = (32 << 20);
There's no need to throttle migration when targeting a file, so set migration
speed to unlimited prior to migration, and restore to libvirt default value
after migration.
Default units is MB for migrate_set_speed monitor command, so
(INT64_MAX / (1024 * 1024)) is used for unlimited migration speed.
Tested with both json and text monitors.
Now that migration speed is stored in qemuDomainObjPrivate structure,
save the new value when invoking qemuDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed().
Allow setting migration speed on inactive domain too.
The maximum bandwidth that can be consumed when migrating a domain
is better classified as an operational vs configuration parameter of
the dommain. As such, store this parameter in qemuDomainObjPrivate
structure.
Commit c246b025 added new functions, but forgot to export them,
resulting in a build failure when using modules.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (network.h): Export new functions.
Commit 973fcd8f introduced the ability for qemu to reject snapshot
reversion on an ABI incompatibility; but the very example that was
first proposed on-list[1] as a demonstration of an ABI incompatibility,
namely that of changing the max memory allocation, was not being
checked for, resulting in a cryptic failure when running with larger
max mem than what the snapshot was created with:
error: operation failed: Error -22 while loading VM state
This commit merely protects the three variables within mem that are
referenced by qemu_command.c, rather than all 7 (the other 4 variables
affect cgroup handling, but as far as I can tell, have no visible effect
to the qemu guest). This also affects migration and save file handling,
which are other places where we perform ABI compatibility checks.

Commit 498d783 cleans up some of virtual file names for parsing strings
in memory. This patch cleans up (hopefuly) the rest forgotten by the
first patch.
This patch also changes all of the previously modified "filenames" to
valid URI's replacing spaces for underscores.
Changes to v1:
- Replace all spaces for underscores, so that the strings form valid
URI's
- Replace spaces in places changed by commit 498d783
Commit 2a0d75e5 added file python/libvirt-qemu-override.c that contains
code that does not pass "make syntax-check". This patch adds an
exception for this file and the check.

Commit ffe28ab74b introduced regression
while communicating with older libvirtd command 'domblkstat' used the new
API and did not check for VIR_ERR_RPC error code signalling the remote
server does not support this API and did not fall back to older API.
Thereafter 'domblkstat' ended with "error: unknown procedure: 243".
Regression introduced in commit 3881a470, due to an improper rebase
of a cleanup written beforehand but only applied after a rebased of
a refactoring that created a new function in commit 25fb3ef.
Also avoids passing NULL to printf %s.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: In qemuDomainSnapshotForEachQcow2()
it free up the memory of qemu_driver->qemuImgBinary in the
cleanup tag which leads to the garbage value of qemuImgBinary
in qemu_driver struct and libvirtd crash when running
"virsh snapshot-create" command a second time.

This is a bit painful for example when starting virt-manager
it tends to clutter libvirtd.log with invalid operation on cpu pinning
for defined but not running domains. A priori those kind of errors
don't indicate an error when executing the command but on a precondition
for running the API, and honnestly while the application should report
it, logging it as an error in libvirtd.log is not really useful,
Related bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590807
* daemon/libvirtd.c: extend daemonErrorLogFilter() to filter out
errors of type VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID
