Often times I find myself halfway through typing a long command when
I want to see 'help' output. I instinctively append '--help' to the
command I'm typing, only to get an error:
$ virsh vol-create-as foo --help
error: command 'vol-create-as' doesn't support option --help
This patch makes --help work in a pretty hacky way. One missing piece
here is that --help isn't listed as an option in the actual 'help <cmd>'
output, but maybe this can be a starting point for someone.
For some reason I only get this after applying subsequent upcoming
patches that touch virsh, but don't seem to actually cause the warning.

This patch introduces a new error code VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED to
mark error messages regarding operations that failed due to lack of
support on the hypervisor or other than libvirt issues.
The code is first used in reporting error if qemu does not support block
IO tuning variables yielding error message:
error: Unable to get block I/O throttle parameters
error: Operation not supported: block_io_throttle field
'total_bytes_sec' missing in qemu's output
instead of:
error: Unable to get block I/O throttle parameters
error: internal error cannot read total_bytes_sec
libvirt_qemu_probes.stp stopped working after switching to a build
that used --with-driver-modules. This was because the symbols listed
int libvirt_qemu_probes.stp are no longer in $(bindir)/libvirtd, but
are now in $(libdir)/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so.
This patch enhances dtrace2systemtap.pl (which generates the .stp
files from .d files) to look for a new "module" setting in the
comments of the .d file (similar to the existing "binary" setting),
and to look for a --with-modules option. If the --with-modules option
is set *and* a "module" setting is present in the .d file, the process
name for the stap line is set to
$libdir/$module
If either of these isn't true, it reverts to the old behavior.
src/Makefile.am was also modified to add the --with-modules option
when the build calls for it, and src/libvirt_qemu_probes.d has added a
"module" line pointing to the correct .so file for the qemu driver.
List:
- some old libvir/libvirt rename leftovers (the only problem can be
if somebody parses 'virsh version' output really badly)
- remove pointless tags specified in some pages that are not used
This patch makes search.php autogenerated from search.php.in, thus
removing hardcoded menus, footer etc. and the search.php is added to
.gitignore.
There is new rule added for *.php files (to make it bit less
hardcoded) that takes *.php.code.in and injects it inside the
generated *.php (xslt was not happy about php code in the source xml).
Error 404 page had relative paths specified for both the image and
stylesheets which caused a problem when requested URL included a
subfolder (e.g. http://libvirt.org/asdf/asdf ). This patch corrects
this behaviour by modifying href_base to '/' (for style-sheets) and
changing the src of the image (to be '/' always).
The meat of this patch is just moving the calls to
virNWFilterRegisterCallbackDriver from each hypervisor's "register"
function into its "initialize" function. The rest is just code
movement to allow that, and a new virNWFilterUnRegisterCallbackDriver
function to undo what the register function does.
The long explanation:
There is an array in nwfilter called callbackDrvArray that has
pointers to a table of functions for each hypervisor driver that are
called by nwfilter. One of those function pointers is to a function
that will lock the hypervisor driver. Entries are added to the table
by calling each driver's "register" function, which happens quite
early in libvirtd's startup.
Sometime later, each driver's "initialize" function is called. This
function allocates a driver object and stores a pointer to it in a
static variable that was previously initialized to NULL. (and here's
the important part...) If the "initialize" function fails, the driver
object is freed, and that pointer set back to NULL (but the entry in
nwfilter's callbackDrvArray is still there).
When the "lock the driver" function mentioned above is called, it
assumes that the driver was successfully loaded, so it blindly tries
to call virMutexLock on "driver->lock".
BUT, if the initialize never happened, or if it failed, "driver" is
NULL. And it just happens that "lock" is always the first field in
driver so it is also NULL.
Boom.
To fix this, the call to virNWFilterRegisterCallbackDriver for each
driver shouldn't be called until the end of its (*already guaranteed
successful*) "initialize" function, not during its "register" function
(which is currently the case). This implies that there should also be
a virNWFilterUnregisterCallbackDriver() function that is called in a
driver's "shutdown" function (although in practice, that function is
currently never called).
Otherwise, in locations like virobject.c where PROBE is used,
for certain configure options, the compiler warns:
util/virobject.c:110:1: error: 'intptr_t' undeclared (first use in this function)

An ESX server has one or more PhysicalNics that represent the actual
hardware NICs. Those can be listed via the interface driver.
A libvirt virtual network is mapped to a HostVirtualSwitch. On the
physical side a HostVirtualSwitch can be connected to PhysicalNics.
On the virtual side a HostVirtualSwitch has HostPortGroups that are
mapped to libvirt virtual network's portgroups. Typically there is
HostPortGroups named 'VM Network' that is used to connect virtual
machines to a HostVirtualSwitch. A second HostPortGroup typically
named 'Management Network' is used to connect the hypervisor itself
to the HostVirtualSwitch. This one is not mapped to a libvirt virtual
network's portgroup. There can be more HostPortGroups than those
typical two on a HostVirtualSwitch.

The virtual counterparts of the PhysicalNic is the HostVirtualNic for
the hypervisor and the VirtualEthernetCard for the virtual machines
that are grouped into HostPortGroups.

The currently implemented network driver can list, define and undefine
HostVirtualSwitches including HostPortGroups for virtual machines.
Existing HostVirtualSwitches cannot be edited yet. This will be added
in a followup patch.
esxVI_LookupHostSystemProperties guarantees that hostSystem is non-NULL.
Remove redundant NULL checks from callers.
Also prefer esxVI_GetStringValue over open-coding the logic.
The static deep copy allocates storage for the copy. The dynamic
version injected the dynamic dispatch after the allocation. This
triggered the invalid argument check in the dynamically dispatched
deep copy call. The deep copy function expects its dest parameter
to be a pointer to a NULL-pointer. This expectation wasn't met due
to the dispatching deep copy doing the allocation before the call.
Fix this by dynamically dispatching to the correct type before the
allocation.
Lists available PhysicalNic devices. A PhysicalNic is always active
and can neither be defined nor undefined.
A PhysicalNic is used to bridge a HostVirtualSwitch to the physical
network.
Remove the target table before renaming a table to it, i.e.,
remove table B before renaming A to B. This makes the
renaming more robust against unconnected left-over tables.

Previously, qemu did not respond to monitor commands during migration if
the limit was too high. This prevented us from raising the limit
earlier. The qemu issue seems to be fixed (according to my testing) and
we may remove the 32Mb/s limit.
This patch refactors the JSON parsing function that extracts the block
IO tuning parameters from qemu's output. The most impacting change
concerns the error message that is returned if the reply from qemu does
not contain the needed data. The data for IO parameter tuning were added
in qemu 1.1 and the previous error message was confusing.
This patch also breaks long lines and extracts a multiple time used code
pattern to a macro.
Remove spaces before function calls and some other coding nits in some
parts of the remote driver and refactor getting of URI argument
components into variables used by libvirt later on.
Prevents libvirt from treating RBD backing stores as files. Without this
patch, creating a domain with a qcow2 overlay on an RBD would fail.
This patch essentially extends 9c7c4a4fc5,
which allows nbd backing stores, to allow rbd backing stores.
From man poll(2), poll does not set errno=EAGAIN on interrupt, however
it does set errno=EINTR. Have libvirt retry on the appropriate errno.
Under heavy load, a program of mine kept getting libvirt errors 'poll on

processes forked by threads unrelated to those using libvirt.

If a caller to virCommandRun doesn't ask for the exitstatus of the
program it's running, the virCommand functions assume that they should
log an error message and return failure if the exit code isn't
0. However, only the commandline and exit status are logged, while
potentially useful information sent by the program to stderr is
discarded.
Fortunately, virCommandRun is already checking if the caller had asked
for stderr to be saved and, if not, sets things up to save it in
*cmd->errbuf. This makes it fairly simple for virCommandWait to
include *cmd->errbuf in the error log (there are still other callers
that don't setup errbuf, and even virCommandRun won't set it up if the
command is being daemonized, so we have to check that it's non-zero).
Occasionally some test cases will (accidentally) try to spawn
libvirtd. Set the LIBVIRT_AUTOSTART=0 environment variable to
ensure the remote driver never tries autostart.
The 'virsh-all' test case will invoke each virsh command with
no args. With the 'connect' command this causes virsh to try
to connect to the default URI, which in turn tries to spawn
libvirtd. This is not something we want todo in the test suite,
so skip the 'connect' command.
Switch virDomainObjPtr to use the virObject APIs for reference

This converts the following public API datatypes to use the

virConnectPtr
virDomainPtr
virDomainSnapshotPtr
virInterfacePtr
virNetworkPtr
virNodeDevicePtr
virNWFilterPtr
virSecretPtr
virStreamPtr
virStorageVolPtr
virStoragePoolPtr
The code is significantly simplified, since the mutex in the
virConnectPtr object now only needs to be held when accessing
the per-connection virError object instance. All other operations
are completely lock free.

This introduces a fairly basic reference counted virObject type
and an associated virClass type, that use atomic operations for
ref counting.
In a global initializer (recommended to be invoked using the
virOnceInit API), a virClass type must be allocated for each
object type. This requires a class name, a "dispose" callback
which will be invoked to free memory associated with the object's
fields, and the size in bytes of the object struct.
eg,
virClassPtr connclass = virClassNew("virConnect",
sizeof(virConnect),
virConnectDispose);
The struct for the object, must include 'virObject' as its
first member
eg
struct _virConnect {
virObject object;
virURIPtr uri;
};
The 'dispose' callback is only responsible for freeing
fields in the object, not the object itself. eg a suitable
impl for the above struct would be
void virConnectDispose(void *obj) {
virConnectPtr conn = obj;
virURIFree(conn->uri);
}
There is no need to reset fields to 'NULL' or '0' in the
dispose callback, since the entire object will be memset
to 0, and the klass pointer & magic integer fields will
be poisoned with 0xDEADBEEF before being free()d
When creating an instance of an object, one needs simply
pass the virClassPtr eg
virConnectPtr conn = virObjectNew(connclass);
if (!conn)
return NULL;
conn->uri = virURIParse("foo:///bar")
Object references can be manipulated with
virObjectRef(conn)
virObjectUnref(conn)
The latter returns a true value, if the object has been
freed (ie its ref count hit zero)

All callers used the same initialization seed (well, the new

make this value automatic. And while it may feel like we are
giving up functionality, I documented how to get it back in the

Commit 1f6f723 missed a step. At first I was worried that scrubbing
the conditionals would lead to a runtime failure when compiled without
avahi, but my testing makes it appear that the runtime error will only
occur if the .conf files in /etc request mdns advertisement; and the
old behavior was to silently ignore the request, so this is actually
a better behavior of only failing when the config requests the
impossible.
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Drop HAVE_AVAHI conditionals; all
callers already passed NULL if mdns_adv was not configured.
If there's a memory leak in qemu or qemu is exploited the host's
system will sooner or later start trashing instead of killing
the bad process. This however has impact on performance and other
guests as well. Therefore we should set a reasonable RSS limit
even when user hasn't set any. It's better to be secure by default.
