Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
qemu 0.13.0 (at least as built for Fedora 14, and also backported to
RHEL 6.0 qemu) supported an older syntax for a spicevmc channel; it's
not as flexible (it has an implicit name and hides the chardev
aspect), but now that we support spicevmc, we might as well target
both variants.

Assuming a hypervisor that supports multiple smartcard devices in the
guest, this would be a valid XML description:
<devices>
<smartcard mode='host'/>
<smartcard mode='host-certificates'>
<certificate>/path/to/cert1</certificate>
<certificate>/path/to/cert2</certificate>

(As of this commit, the qemu hypervisor will be the first
implementation, but it only supports one smartcard.)

This patch teaches testutil how to read multi-line input files with
backspace-newline line continuation markers.
The patch also breaks up all the single-line arguments test input files into
multi-line files with lines shorter than 80 characters.
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
qemu allows the user to choose what io storage api should be used,
either the default (threads) or native (linux aio) which in the latter
case can result in better performance.
Based on a patch originally by Matthias Dahl.

As noticed by Eric, commit 8e28c5d402,
which fixed generation of virtio-serial port numbers, forgot to adjust
test files which resulted in make check failure.
In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available
v5:

QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>
This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').
Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.

When using -incoming stdio or -incoming exec:, qemu keeps the
stdin fd open long after the migration is complete. Not to
mention that exec:cat is horribly inefficient, by doubling the
I/O and going through a popen interface in qemu.
The new -incoming fd: of qemu 0.12.0 closes the fd after using
it, and allows us to bypass an intermediary cat process for
less I/O.

Skip IB700 when assigning PCI slots.
Note: the I6300ESB watchdog _is_ a PCI device.
To test this: I applied this patch to libvirt-0.8.3-2.fc14 (rebasing
it slightly: qemu_command.c didn't exist in that version) and
installed this on my machine, then tested that I could successfully
add an ib700 watchdog device to a guest, start the guest, and the
ib700 was available to the guest. I also added an i6300esb (PCI)
watchdog to another guest, and verified that libvirt assigned a PCI
device to it, that the guest could be started, and that i6300esb was
present in the guest.
Note that if you previously had a domain with a ib700 watchdog, it
would have had an <address type='pci' .../> clause added to it in the
libvirt configuration. This patch does not attempt to remove this.
You cannot start such a domain -- qemu gives an error if you try.
With this patch you are able to remove the bogus address element
without libvirt adding it back.

The xml watchdog dump option is converted to qemu watchdog pause arg
but it is not reasonable to convert it back from qemu watchdog pause
arg since there already is a xml watchdog pause option, so a test for
the dump option to convert it from arg to xml is not added.
Commit febc591683 introduced -vga none in
case no video card is included in domain XML. However, old qemu
versions do not support this and such domain cannot be successfully
started.
The log lists things like -smbios type=1,vendor="Red Hat", which
is great for shell parsing, but not so great when you realize that
execve() then passes those literal "" on as part of the command
line argument, such that qemu sets SMBIOS with extra literal quotes.
The eventual addition of virCommand is needed before we have the API
to shell-quote a string representation of a command line, so that the
log can still be pasted into a shell, but without inserting extra
bytes into the execve() arguments.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosBiosStr)
(qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Qemu doesn't like quotes around uuid
arguments, and the remaining quotes are passed literally to
smbios, making <smbios mode='host'/> inaccurate. Removing the
quotes makes the log harder to parse, but that can be fixed later
with virCommand improvements.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smbios.args: 'Fix' test; it
will need fixing again once virCommand learns how to shell-quote a
potential command line.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Fix merge error which left SPICE channel
elements under VNC schema.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Add SPICE flag to kvm-83 test

<graphics type='spice' port='-1' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'>
<channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
<channel name='record' mode='insecure'/>
</graphics>
Any non-specified channel uses the default, which allows both
secure & insecure usage

This supports the -spice argument posted for review against
the latest upstream QEMU/KVM. This supports the bare minimum
config with port, TLS port & listen address. The x509 bits are
added in a later patch.

until you get the next patch for -spice support. Also note that
while the libvirt XML supports multiple video devices, this
patch only supports a single one. A later patch can add support

When using 0-prefixed numbers, QEmu will interpret them as octal numbers
(as C convention says); this means that if you attach a device that has
addr > 10 (decimal) you're going to attach a different device.
So far, readonly=on option is used when qemu supports -device. However,
there are qemu versions which support readonly option with -drive
although they don't have support for -device.

depending on fullvirt. Understandably there is lots of test fallout.
This will be used to differentiate between a serial vs. virtio console for
QEMU.

Add a new element to the <os> block:

as 'use hypervisor default'.

To try and ensure that people upgrading from old QEMU get guests
with the same PCI device ordering, change the way we assign addrs

annoyed.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Follow QEMU's default PCI ordering
logic when assigning addresses

To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device
<memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>
It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.
The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element

* tests/*: Update to test new functionality
We already use the '-nodefaults' command line arg with QEMU to stop
it adding any default devices to guests. Unfortunately, QEMU will
load global config files from /etc/qemu that may also add default
devices. These aren't blocked by '-nodefaults', so we need to also
add the '-nodefconfig' arg to prevent that.
Unfortunately these global config files are also used to define
custom CPU models. So in blocking global hardware device addition
we also block definitions of new CPU models. Libvirt doesn't know
about these custom CPU models though, so it would never make use
of them anyway. Thus blocking them via -nodefconfig isn't a show
stopping problem. We would need to expand libvirt's own CPU model
XML database to support these instead.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add '-nodefconfig' if available
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add '-nodefconfig' to all data files which

The virtio serial changes broke the test suite because they forgot
to add the new address attribute to the domain XML schema. The
xml2xml test also broke because the XML no longer roundtrips. This
is due to testing of auto-addition of <controller> elements. Split
that test case off into a separate XML file to avoid breakage

* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Add channel-virtio-auto test
The domain parsing code would auto-add a virtio serial controller
if it saw any virtio serial channel defined. Unfortunately it
always added a controller with index=0, even if the channel address
specified an index != 0. It only added one controller, even if
multiple controllers were referenced by channels. Finally, it let
the ports+vectors parameters initialize to zero instead of -1, which
prevented the controllers accepting any ports.

virtio serial controllers. Add all neccessary virtio serial

qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: Expand to

To ensure that the device addressing scheme is stable across
hotplug/unplug, all virtio serial channels needs to have an
associated port number in their address. This is then specified
to QEMU using the nr=NNN parameter

for port number in vioserial address types.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Set 'nr=NNN' parameter with virtio

* virStorageEncryptionFormat is called from both
virDomainDiskDefFormat and virStorageVolTargetDefFormat. The proper
indentation in the generated XML depends on the caller. My earlier
patch to fix the incorrect indentation for the domain XML broke the
indentation for the storage XML. This patch adopts Laine's
suggestion of requring the caller of virStorageEncryptionFormat to
provide an unsigned int with the number of spaces the output should
be indented. The patch modifies both callers to provide the
additional argument.

To allow devices to be hot(un-)plugged it is neccessary to ensure
they all have a unique device aliases. This fixes the hotplug
methods to assign device aliases before invoking the monitor
commands which need them
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Expose methods
for assigning device aliases for disks, host devices and
controllers
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Assign device aliases when hotplugging
all types of device

tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-usb-address-device.args:
Update for changed hostdev naming scheme
The current way of assigning names to the host network backend and
NIC device in QEMU was over complicated, by varying naming scheme
based on the NIC model and backend type. This simplifies the naming
to simply be 'net0' and 'hostnet0', allowing code to easily determine
the host network name and vlan based off the primary device alias
name 'net0'. This in turn allows removal of alot of QEMU specific
code from the XML parser, and makes it easier to assign new unique
names for NICs that are hotplugged
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Remove hostnet_name
and vlan fields from virNetworkDefPtr
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c:
Use a single network alias naming scheme regardless of NIC type
or backend type. Determine VLANs from the alias name.

The QEMU 0.12.x tree has the -netdev command line argument, but not
corresponding monitor command. We can't enable the former, without
the latter since it will break hotplug/unplug.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Disable -netdev usage
until 0.13 at earliest
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Add test for -netdev syntax

The current QEMU code allocates PCI addresses incrementally starting
at 4. This is not satisfactory because the user may have given some
addresses in their XML config, which need to be skipped over when
allocating addresses to remaining devices.
It is thus neccessary to maintain a list of already allocated PCI
addresses and then only allocate ones that remain unused. This is
also required for domain device hotplug to work properly later.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add APIs for creating
list of existing PCI addresses, and allocating new addresses.
Refactor address assignment to use this code
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Pull PCI address assignment up into the
qemuStartVMDaemon() method, as a prelude to moving it into the
'define' method. Update list of allocated addresses when connecting
to a running VM at daemon startup.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c, tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c,

Replace
-balloon virtio
With
-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3
This allows it to get correct assigned PCI address as declared in
previous patch
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Convert Virtio ballon to -device and
give it an explicit PCI address
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-*args: Add in virtio balloon
where appropriate
Instead of relying on QEMU to assign PCI addresses and then querying
them with 'info pci', manually assign all PCI addresses before starting
the guest. These addresses are not stable across reboots. That will
come in a later patch
NB, the PIIX3 (IDE, FDC, ISA-Bridge) will always have slot 1 and
VGA will always have slot 2. We declare the Virtio Balloon gets
slot 3, and then all remaining slots are for configured devices.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: If -device is supported, then assign all PCI
addresses when building the command line
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Don't query monitor for PCI addresses if
they have already been assigned
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-address-device.args,

tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-watchdog-device.args: Update

QEMU always configures a VGA card. If no video card is included in
the libvirt XML, it is neccessary to explicitly turn off the default
using -vga none
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Pass -vga none if no video card is configured
* tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c, tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test for
handling -vga none.

The old syntax was
-chardev SOMECONFIG
-nic user,guestfwd=tcp:IP:PORT-chardev:CHARDEV
The new syntax is
-chardev SOMECONFIG
-netdev user,guestfwd=tcp:IP:PORT,chardev=ID,id=user-ID
The old syntax was
-usbdevice host:PRODUCT:VENDOR
Or
-usbdevice host:BUS.DEV
The new syntax is
-device usb-host,product=PRODUCT,vendor=VENDOR
Or
-device usb-host,hostbus=BUS,hostaddr=DEV
The previous syntax was severely limited in its options
-usbdevice disk:/home/berrange/output.img
The new syntax is the same as for other disk types
-drive file=/home/berrange/output.img,if=none,id=usb-1,index=1
-device usb-storage,drive=usb-1
Again, the index= arg is wrong here, and will be removed in a
later merge
The current syntax uses a pair of args
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:56:6c:55,vlan=3,model=pcnet,name=pcnet.0
-net user,vlan=3,name=user.0
The new syntax does not need the vlan craziness anymore, and
so has a simplified pair of args
-netdev user,id=user.0
-device pcnet,netdev=user.0,id=pcnet.0,mac=52:54:00:56:6c:55,addr=<PCI SLOT>
The current syntax for audio devices is a horrible multiplexed
arg
-soundhw sb16,pcspk,ac97
The new syntax is
-device sb16,id=sound0
or
-device AC97,id=sound1,addr=<PCI SLOT>
NB, pcspk still uses the old -soundhw syntax
The current character device syntax uses either
-serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2
Or
-chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0
With the new -device support, we now prefer
-chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0
This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new
scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old
QEMU.
The monitor device changes to
-chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor
In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the
default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the
need for us to explicitly turn each off
Existing applications using libvirt are not aware of the disk
controller concept. Thus, after parsing the <disk> definitions
in the XML, it is neccessary to create <controller> elements
to satisfy all requested disks, as per their defined drive
addresses
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
method for populating disk controllers, and call it after
parsing disk definitions.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
when doing ARGV -> XML conversion
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv*.xml: Add disk controller
data to all data files which don't have it already
The current code for using -drive simply sets the -drive 'index'
parameter. QEMU internally converts this to bus/unit depending
on the type of drive. This does not give us precise control over
the bus/unit assignment though. This change switches over to make
libvirt explicitly calculate the bus/unit number.
In addition bus/unit/index are actually irrelevant for VirtIO
disks, since each virtio disk is a separate PCI device. No disk
controller is involved.
Doing the conversion to bus/unit in libvirt allows us to correctly
attach SCSI controllers when required.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Specify bus/unit instead of index for
disks
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk*.args: Switch over from
using index=NNNN, to bus=NN, unit=NN for SCSI/IDE/Floppy disks
When parsing the <disk> element specification, if no <address>
is provided for the disk, then automatically assign one based on
the <target dev='sdXX'/> device name. This provides for backwards
compatability with existing applications using libvirt, while also
allowing new apps to have complete fine grained control.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress()
for assigning a controller/bus/unit address based on disk target
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress() after
generating XML from ARGV
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*.xml: Add in drive address information
to all XML files
Change -monitor, -serial and -parallel output to use -chardev if it is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Update qemudBuildCommandLine to use -chardev where
available.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add -chardev equivalents
for all current serial and parallel tests.
Introduce a new type="dir" mode for <disks> that allows use of
QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver. eg
<disk type='dir' device='floppy'>
<source dir='/tmp/test'/>
<target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
gets turned into
-drive file=fat:floppy:/tmp/test,if=floppy,index=0
Only read-only disks are supported with virtual FAT mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add type="dir"
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Document new disk type
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Raise error for
unsupported disk types

If one has e.g.
<guest>
<os_type>hvm</os_type>
<arch name='x86_64'>
<wordsize>64</wordsize>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<machine>pc-0.11</machine>
<machine canonical='pc-0.11'>pc</machine>
<machine>pc-0.10</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
<domain type='qemu'>
</domain>
<domain type='kvm'>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<machine>pc</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
</domain>
</arch>
</guest>
and start a guest with:
<domain type='kvm'>
...
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
...
</os>
</domain>
then the default machine type should be 'pc' and not 'pc-0.11'
Issue was reported by Anton Protopopov.
* src/capabilities.[ch]: pass the domain type to
virCapabilitiesDefaultGuestArch() and use it to look up the default
machine type from a specific guest domain if needed.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: update
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-machine-aliases2.xml: update
the domain type to 'kvm' and remove the machine type to check
that the default gets looked up correctly
Latest upstream QEMU can be built with Xen support, which introduces
a -xen-domid argument. This was mistakenly detected as -domid due
to old Xenner support. Adapt to cope with both syntax. Also only
set domid if the virt type is xen, or the guest type is xen
* src/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu_conf.h: Detect new -xen-domid flag in
preference to -domid.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-bootloader.args,

virExec will write out the pid of the daemonized process only. Use this
in the QEMU driver, rather than QEMU's pidfile, so we can catch errors we
might miss if the emulator bails early.
Seems like a simple typo - it has been "format=" since the flag
was introduced, but we added it as "fmt=".

handling code. In particular, if you had a section of XML like:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
This used to work with older libvirt, but now fails. This is because we are
actually passing the literal string (null) to the qemu command-line, which qemu
barfs on. This patch fixes it up by making it blank, which allows qemu to
continue on it's merry way.
