The uhci1, uhci2, uhci3 companion controllers for ehci1 must
have a master start port set. Since this value is predictable
we should set it automatically if the app does not supply it
Currently each USB2 companion controller gets put on a separate
PCI slot. Not only is this wasteful of PCI slots, but it is not
in compliance with the spec for USB2 controllers. The master
echi1 and all companion controllers should be in the same slot,
with echi1 in function 7, and uhci1-3 in functions 0-2 respectively.

Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.

The current unprivileged user libvirtd sockets are in the abstract

- You can't connect to them remotely using the nc/ssh tunnel
- This is not portable for OS-X, BSD & probably others
- Parent directory permissions don't apply
$LISTFILE is created even no domain is running, and the empty
$LISTFILE could cause improper service status.
stopped ,with saved guests
Which is not right, as there is no domain was saved.
"Instead of developing one CPU with 12 cores, the Magny Cours is
actually two 6 core “Bulldozer” CPUs combined in to one package"
I.e, each package has two NUMA nodes, and the two numa nodes share
the same core ID set (0-6), which means parsing the cores number
from sysfs doesn't work in this case.
And the wrong CPU number could cause three problems for libvirt:
1) performance lost
A domain without "cpuset" or "placement='auto'" (to drive numad)
specified will be only pinned to part of the CPUs.
2) domain can be started
If a domain uses numad, and the advisory nodeset returned from
numad contains node which exceeds the range of wrong total CPU
number. The domain will fail to start, as the bitmask passed to
sched_setaffinity could be fully filled with zero.
3) wrong CPU number affects lots of stuffs.
E.g. for command "virsh vcpuinfo", "virsh vcpupin", it will always
output with the truncated CPU list.
For more details:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00607.html
This patch is to fix the problem by parsing /proc/cpuinfo to get
the value of field "cpu cores", and use it as nodeinfo->cores if
it's greater than the cores number from sysfs.
Like for 'static' placement, when the memory policy mode is
'strict', set the memory policy by writing the advisory nodeset
returned from numad to cgroup file cpuset.mems,
On some of the NUMA platforms, the CPU index in each NUMA node
grows non-consecutive. While on other platforms, it can be inconsecutive,
E.g.
% numactl --hardware
available: 4 nodes (0-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28
node 0 size: 131058 MB
node 0 free: 86531 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 5 9 13 17 21 25 29
node 1 size: 131072 MB
node 1 free: 127070 MB
node 2 cpus: 2 6 10 14 18 22 26 30
node 2 size: 131072 MB
node 2 free: 127758 MB
node 3 cpus: 3 7 11 15 19 23 27 31
node 3 size: 131072 MB
node 3 free: 127226 MB
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 20 20
1: 20 10 20 20
2: 20 20 10 20
3: 20 20 20 10
This patch is to fix the problem by using the CPU index in
caps->host.numaCell[i]->cpus[i] to set the bitmask instead of
assuming the CPU index of the NUMA nodes are always sequential.
For pseries guest, the default controller model is
ibmvscsi controller, this controller only can work
on spapr-vio address.
This patch is to assign spapr-vio address type to
ibmvscsi controller and correct vscsi test case.

We were wasting time to malloc a copy of a constant string, then

by passing the string through the stack instead, as well as renaming

Appending an item to a list transfers ownership of that item to the

This patch lifts the limit of calling thread detection code only on KVM
guests. With upstream qemu the thread mappings are reported also on
non-KVM machines.
QEMU adopted the thread_id information from the kvm branch.
To remain compatible with older upstream versions of qemu the check is
attempted but the failure to detect threads (or even run the monitor
command - on older versions without SMP support) is treated non-fatal
and the code reports one vCPU with pid of the hypervisor (in same
fashion this was done on non-KVM guests).
After a cpu hotplug the qemu driver did not refresh information about
virtual processors used by qemu and their corresponding threads. This
patch forces a re-detection as is done on start of QEMU.
This ensures that correct information is reported by the
virDomainGetVcpus API and "virsh vcpuinfo".
A failure to obtain the thread<->vcpu mapping is treated non-fatal and
the mapping is not updated in a case of failure as not all versions of
QEMU report this in the info cpus command.
This patch changes a switch statement into ifs when handling live vs.
configuration modifications getting rid of redundant code in case when
both live and persistent configuration gets changed.

Based on a report by Seth Vidal. Just because _you_ can use virsh

this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a
native one.

Since now we pre-set memory policy using libnuma to fully
drive numad, it needs to check numactl-devel if "with_numad"
is "yes".
configure with groups "--with-numad=yes --with-numactl=yes",
"--with-numad=no --with-numactl=yes", "--with-numad=yes
--with-numactl=yes" works fine after the change.
<vcpu> is not an optional node. The value for its 'placement'
actually always defaults to 'static' in the underlying codes.
(Even no 'cpuset' and 'placement' is specified, the domain
process will be pinned to all the available pCPUs).
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.
This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:
<numatune>
<memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.
If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".
The following XML can now fully drive numad:
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
<numatune>.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
</numatune>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
</numatume>
A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

Bug introduced via commit v0.9.4-260-g35d52b5.
Until now, the nl_pid of the source address of every message sent by
virNetlinkCommand has been set to the value of getpid(). Most of the
time this doesn't matter, and in the one case where it does
(communication with lldpad), it previously was the proper thing to do,
because the netlink event service (which listens on a netlink socket
for unsolicited messages from lldpad) coincidentally always happened
to bind with a local nl_pid == getpid().
With the fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465
that particular nl_pid is now effectively a reserved value, so the
netlink event service will always bind to something else
(coincidentally "getpid() + (1 << 22)", but it really could be
anything). The result is that communication between lldpad and
libvirtd is broken (lldpad gets a "disconnected" error when it tries
to send a directed message).
The solution to this problem caused by a solution, is to query the
netlink event service's nlhandle for its "local_port", and send that
as the source nl_pid (but only when sending to lldpad, of course - in
other cases we maintain the old behavior of sending getpid()).
There are two cases where a message is being directed at lldpad - one
in virNetDevLinkDump, and one in virNetDevVPortProfileOpSetLink.
The case of virNetDevVPortProfileOpSetLink is simplest to explain -
only if !nltarget_kernel, i.e. the message isn't targetted for the
kernel, is the dst_pid set (by calling
virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid()), so only in that case do we call
virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() to set src_pid.
For virNetDevLinkDump, it's a bit more complicated. The call to
virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid() was effectively up one level (in
virNetDevVPortProfileOpCommon), although obscured by an unnecessary
passing of a function pointer. This patch removes the function
pointer, and calls virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid() directly in
virNetDevVPortProfileOpCommon - if it's doing this, it knows that it
should also call virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() to set src_pid too;
then it just passes src_pid and dst_pid down to
virNetDevLinkDump. Since (src_pid == 0 && dst_pid == 0) implies that
the kernel is the destination, there is no longer any need to send
nltarget_kernel as an arg to virNetDevLinkDump, so it's been removed.
The disparity between src_pid being int and dst_pid being uint32_t may
be a bit disconcerting to some, but I didn't want to complicate
virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() by having status returned separately
from the value.
This value will be needed to set the src_pid when sending netlink
messages to lldpad. It is part of the solution to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465
Note that libnl's port generation algorithm guarantees that the
nl_socket_get_local_port() will always be > 0 (since it is "getpid() +
(n << 22>" where n is always < 1024), so it is okay to cast the
uint32_t to int (thus allowing us to use -1 as an error sentinel).
Until now, virNetlinkCommand has assumed that the nl_pid in the source
address of outgoing netlink messages should always be the return value
of getpid(). In most cases it actually doesn't matter, but in the case
of communication with lldpad, lldpad saves this info and later uses it
to send netlink messages back to libvirt. A recent patch to fix Bug
816465 changed the order of the universe such that the netlink event
service socket is no longer bound with nl_pid == getpid(), so lldpad
could no longer send unsolicited messages to libvirtd. Adding src_pid
as an argument to virNetlinkCommand() is the first step in notifying
lldpad of the proper address of the netlink event service socket.
