Commit f7afeddc added code to report to systemd an array of interface
indexes for all tap devices used by a guest. Unfortunately it not only
didn't add code to report the ifindexes for macvtap interfaces
(interface type='direct') or the tap devices used by type='ethernet',
it ended up sending "-1" as the ifindex for each macvtap or hostdev
interface. This resulted in a failure to start any domain that had a
macvtap or hostdev interface (or actually any type other than
"network" or "bridge").
This patch does the following with the nicindexes array:
1) Modify qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine() to only fill in the
nicindexes array if given a non-NULL pointer to an array (and modifies
the test jig calls to the function to send NULL). This is because
there are tests in the test suite that have type='ethernet' and still
have an ifname specified, but that device of course doesn't actually
exist on the test system, so attempts to call virNetDevGetIndex() will
fail.
2) Even then, only add an entry to the nicindexes array for
appropriate types, and to do so for all appropriate types ("network",
"bridge", and "direct"), but only if the ifname is known (since that
is required to call virNetDevGetIndex().
Not all machine types support all devices, device properties, backends,
etc. So until we create a matrix of [machineType, qemuCaps], lets just
filter out some capabilities before we return them to the consumer
(which is going to make decisions based on them straight away).
Currently, as qemu is unable to tell which capabilities are (not)
enabled for given machine types, it's us who has to hardcode the matrix.
One day maybe the hardcoding will go away and we can create the matrix
dynamically on the fly based on a few monitor calls.

So, when building the '-numa' command line, the
qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() function does quite a lot of checks to
chose the best backend, or to check if one is in fact needed. However,
it returned that backend is needed even for this little fella:
<numatune>
<memory mode="strict" nodeset="0,2"/>
</numatune>
This can be guaranteed via CGroups entirely, there's no need to use
memory-backend-ram to let qemu know where to get memory from. Well, as
long as there's no <memnode/> element, which explicitly requires the
backend. Long story short, we wouldn't have to care, as qemu works
either way. However, the problem is migration (as always). Previously,
libvirt would have started qemu with:
-numa node,memory=X
in this case and restricted memory placement in CGroups. Today, libvirt
creates more complicated command line:
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=X
-numa node,memdev=ram-node0
Again, one wouldn't find anything wrong with these two approaches.
Both work just fine. Unless you try to migrated from the older libvirt
into the newer one. These two approaches are, unfortunately, not
compatible. My suggestion is, in order to allow users to migrate, lets
use the older approach for as long as the newer one is not needed.

Some code paths have special logic depending on the page size
reported by sysconf, which in turn affects the test results.
We must mock this so tests always have a consistent page size.
For stateless, client side drivers, it is never correct to
probe for secondary drivers. It is only ever appropriate to
use the secondary driver that is associated with the
hypervisor in question. As a result the ESX & HyperV drivers
have both been forced to do hacks where they register no-op
drivers for the ones they don't implement.
For stateful, server side drivers, we always just want to
use the same built-in shared driver. The exception is
virtualbox which is really a stateless driver and so wants
to use its own server side secondary drivers. To deal with
this virtualbox has to be built as 3 separate loadable
modules to allow registration to work in the right order.
This can all be simplified by introducing a new struct
recording the precise set of secondary drivers each
hypervisor driver wants
struct _virConnectDriver {
virHypervisorDriverPtr hypervisorDriver;
virInterfaceDriverPtr interfaceDriver;
virNetworkDriverPtr networkDriver;
virNodeDeviceDriverPtr nodeDeviceDriver;
virNWFilterDriverPtr nwfilterDriver;
virSecretDriverPtr secretDriver;
virStorageDriverPtr storageDriver;
};
Instead of registering the hypervisor driver, we now
just register a virConnectDriver instead. This allows
us to remove all probing of secondary drivers. Once we
have chosen the primary driver, we immediately know the
correct secondary drivers to use.

The virDomainDefParse* and virDomainDefFormat* methods both
accept the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags defined in the public API,
along with a set of other VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags
defined in domain_conf.c.
This is seriously confusing & error prone for a number of
reasons:
- VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE, VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE and
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU are only relevant for the
formatting operation
- Some of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags only apply
to parse or to format, but not both.
This patch cleanly separates out the flags. There are two
distint VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_* and VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_*
flags that are used by the corresponding methods. The
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags received via public API calls must
be converted to the VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_* flags where
needed.
The various calls to virDomainDefParse which hardcoded the
use of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE flag change to use the
VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_INACTIVE flag.

It occurred to me that OpenStack uses the following XML when not using
regular huge pages:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='4' unit='KiB'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
However, since we are expecting to see huge pages only, we fail to
startup the domain with following error:
libvirtError: internal error: Unable to find any usable hugetlbfs
mount for 4 KiB
While regular system pages are not huge pages technically, our code is
prepared for that and if it helps OpenStack (or other management
applications) we should cope with that.

So far we didn't have any option to set video memory size for qemu video
devices. There was only the vram (ram for QXL) attribute but it was valid
only for the QXL video device.
To provide this feature to users QEMU has a dedicated device attribute
called 'vgamem_mb' to set the video memory size. We will use the 'vram'
attribute for setting video memory size for other QEMU video devices.
For the cirrus device we will ignore the vram value because it has
hardcoded video size in QEMU.

As I was reviewing bhyve commits, I've noticed qemuxml2argvtest
failing for some test cases. This is not bug in qemu driver code
rather than being unable to load qemuxml2argvmock on non-Linux
platforms. For instance:
318) QEMU XML-2-ARGV numatune-memnode
... libvirt: error : internal error: NUMA node 0 is unavailable
FAILED
Rather than disabling qemuxml2argvtest on BSD (we do compile qemu
driver there) disable only those test cases which require mocking.
To achieve that goal new DO_TEST_LINUX() macro is introduced which
invokes the test case on Linux only and consume arguments on other

allow future expansion for other hypervisors.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
- For shmem device using a server:
<shmem name='shmem0'>
<server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
<msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
</shmem>
- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:
<shmem name='shmem1'>
<size unit='M'>32</size>

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
We are not detecting the presence of FIPS from QEMU, but from procfs and
that means it's not QEMU capability. It was decided that we will pass
this flag to QEMU even if it's not supported by old QEMU binaries.

There are two ways how to tell qemu to use huge pages. The first one
is suitable for domains with NUMA nodes: the path to hugetlbfs mount
is appended to NUMA node definition on the command line. The second
one is suitable for UMA domains: here there's this global '-mem-path'
argument that accepts path to the hugetlbfs mount point. However, the
latter case was not used for all the cases that it should be. For
instance:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
didn't trigger the '-mem-path' so the huge pages - despite being
configured - were not used at all.

As of 136ad4974 it is possible to specify different huge pages per

In other words with current code it is possible to define meaningless
combination:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0,2-3'/>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='1,4'/>
