This patch adds a new API, virDomainOpenChannel, that uses streams to
connect to a virtio channel on a guest. This creates a secure
communication channel between a guest and a libvirt client.
This behaves the same as virDomainOpenConsole, except on channels
instead of console/serial/parallel devices.
Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.
Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).
Add VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA flag to virStorageVolCreateXML
and virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom. This flag requests metadata
preallocation when creating/cloning qcow2 images, resulting in creating
a sparse file with qcow2 metadata. It has only slightly larger disk usage
compared to new image with no allocation, but offers higher performance.
The virDomainShutdownFlags and virDomainReboot APIs allow the caller
to request the operation is implemented via either acpi button press
or a guest agent. For containers, a couple of other methods make
sense, a message to /dev/initctl, and direct kill(SIGTERM|HUP) of
the container init process.

To be able todo controlled shutdown/reboot of containers an
API to talk to init via /dev/initctl is required. Fortunately
this is quite straightforward to implement, and is supported
by both sysvinit and systemd. Upstart support for /dev/initctl
is unclear.

Add an API for sending signals to arbitrary processes in the
guest OS. This is primarily useful for container based virt,
but can be used for machine virt too, if there is a suitable
guest agent,
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virDomainSendProcessSignal
and virDomainProcessSignal enum
* src/driver.h: Driver entry point
* src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms: Impl for new API

This will call FITRIM within guest. The API has 4 arguments,
however, only 2 will be used for now (@dom and @minumum).
The rest two are there if in future qemu guest agent learns them.
As we enable more modes of snapshot creation, it becomes more important
to be able to quickly filter based on snapshot properties. This patch
introduces new filter flags; subsequent patches will introduce virsh
back-compat filtering, as well as actual libvirt filtering.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSnapshotListFlags): Add
five new flags in two new groups.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotNum, virDomainSnapshotListNames)
(virDomainListAllSnapshots, virDomainSnapshotNumChildren)
(virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames)
(virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): Document them.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.h (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_STATUS)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_LOCATION): Add new convenience filter
collection macros.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add 5 new flags.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document them.
Lately there were a few reports of the output of the virsh nodeinfo
command being inaccurate. This patch tries to avoid that by checking if
the topology actually makes sense. If it doesn't we then report a
synthetic topology that indicates to the user that the host capabilities
should be checked for the actual topology.
This is supposed to be thrown every time we need to pause domain
because of API execution (e.g. qemuDomainSaveInternal) but fails
to restore it back after. In this case, domain remains paused,
however, none of existing reasons can fit this scenario.
The default behavior while creating external checkpoints is to pause the
guest while the memory state is captured. We want the users to sacrifice
space saving for creating the memory save image while the guest is live
to minimize downtime.
This patch adds a flag that causes the guest not to be paused before
taking the snapshot.
*include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in:
- add new paused reason: VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT
- add new flag for taking snapshot: VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE
*tools/virsh-domain-monitor.c:

Adding a new API to obtain information about the
host node's present, online and offline CPUs.
int virNodeGetCPUMap(virConnectPtr conn,
unsigned char **cpumap,
unsigned int *online,
unsigned int flags);
The function will return the number of CPUs present on the host
or -1 on failure;
If cpumap is non-NULL virNodeGetCPUMap will allocate an array
containing a bit map representation of the online CPUs. It's
the callers responsibility to deallocate cpumap using free().
If online is non-NULL, the variable pointed to will contain
the number of online host node CPUs.
The variable flags has been added to support future extensions
and must be set to 0.

The previously introduced virFile{Lock,Unlock} APIs provide a
way to acquire/release fcntl() locks on individual files. For
unknown reason though, the POSIX spec says that fcntl() locks
are released when *any* file handle referring to the same path
is closed. In the following sequence
threadA: fd1 = open("foo")
threadB: fd2 = open("foo")
threadA: virFileLock(fd1)
threadB: virFileLock(fd2)
threadB: close(fd2)
you'd expect threadA to come out holding a lock on 'foo', and
indeed it does hold a lock for a very short time. Unfortunately
when threadB does close(fd2) this releases the lock associated
with fd1. For the current libvirt use case for virFileLock -
pidfiles - this doesn't matter since the lock is acquired
at startup while single threaded an never released until
exit.
To provide a more generally useful API though, it is necessary
to introduce a slightly higher level abstraction, which is to
be referred to as a "lockspace". This is to be provided by
a virLockSpacePtr object in src/util/virlockspace.{c,h}. The
core idea is that the lockspace keeps track of what files are
already open+locked. This means that when a 2nd thread comes
along and tries to acquire a lock, it doesn't end up opening
and closing a new FD. The lockspace just checks the current
list of held locks and immediately returns VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY.
NB, the API as it stands is designed on the basis that the
files being locked are not being otherwise opened and used
by the application code. One approach to using this API is to
acquire locks based on a hash of the filepath.
eg to lock /var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img the application
might do
virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew("/var/lib/libvirt/imagelocks");
lockname = md5sum("/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, lockname);
NB, in this example, the caller should ensure that the path
is canonicalized before calculating the checksum.
It is also possible to do locks directly on resources by
using a NULL lockspace directory and then using the file
path as the lock name eg
virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew(NULL);
virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, "/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
This is only safe to do though if no other part of the process
will be opening the files. This will be the case when this
code is used inside the soon-to-be-reposted virlockd daemon

This patch adds support for SUSPEND_DISK event; both lifecycle and
separated. The support is added for QEMU, machines are changed to
PMSUSPENDED, but as QEMU sends SHUTDOWN afterwards, the state changes
to shut-off. This and much more needs to be done in order for libvirt
to work with transient devices, wake-ups etc. This patch is not
aiming for that functionality.
Upstream kernel introduced new sysfs knob "merge_across_nodes" to
specify if pages from different numa nodes can be merged. When set
to 0, only pages which physically reside in the memory area of
same NUMA node can be merged. When set to 1, pages from all nodes
can be merged.
This patch supports the tuning by adding new param field
"shm_merge_across_nodes".
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html recommends that
the 'If not, see <url>.' phrase be a separate sentence.

These enums originally were put into the flags for virNetworkUpdate,
and when they were moved into their own enum, the numbers weren't
appropriately changed, causing the commands to start with value 2
instead of 1. This causes problems for things like ENUM_IMPL, which
wants a string for every value in the requested range, including those
not used in the enum.
This patch adds a new public API virNetworkUpdate that will permit
updating an existing network configuration without requiring that the
network be destroyed/restarted for the changes to take effect.
A block commit moves data in the opposite direction of block pull.
Block pull reduces the chain length by dropping backing files after
data has been pulled into the top overlay, and is always safe; block
commit reduces the chain length by dropping overlays after data has
been committed into the backing file, and any files that depended
on base but not on top are invalidated at any point where they have
unallocated data that is now pointing to changed contents in base.
Both directions are useful, however: a qcow2 layer that is more than
50% allocated will typically be faster with a pull operation, while
a qcow2 layer with less than 50% allocation will be faster as a
commit operation. Committing across multiple layers can be more
efficient than repeatedly committing one layer at a time, but
requires extra support from the hypervisor.
This API matches Jeff Cody's proposed qemu command 'block-commit':
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02226.html
Jeff's command is still in the works for qemu 1.3, and may gain
further enhancements, such as the ability to control on-error
handling (it will be comparable to the error handling Paolo is
adding to 'drive-mirror', so a similar solution will be needed
when I finally propose virDomainBlockCopy with more functionality
than the basics supported by virDomainBlockRebase). However, even
without qemu support, this API will be useful for _offline_ block
commits, by wrapping qemu-img calls and turning them into a block
job, so this API is worth committing now.
For some examples of how this will be implemented, all starting
with the chain: base <- snap1 <- snap2 <- active
+ These are equivalent:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "active", 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", "active", 0, 0)
but cannot be implemented for online qemu with round 1 of
Jeff's patches; and for offline images, it would require
three back-to-back qemu-img invocations unless qemu-img
is patched to allow more efficient multi-layer commits;
the end result would be 'base' as the active disk with
contents from all three other files, where 'snap1' and
'snap2' are invalid right away, and 'active' is invalid
once any further changes to 'base' are made.
+ These are equivalent:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, _SHALLOW)
they cannot be implemented for online qemu, but for offline,
it is a matter of 'qemu-img commit active', so that 'snap2'
is now the active disk with contents formerly in 'active'.
+ Similarly:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, _DELETE)
for an offline domain will merge 'active' into 'snap2', then
delete 'active' to avoid leaving a potentially invalid file
around.
+ This version:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "snap2", 0, _SHALLOW)
can be implemented online with 'block-commit' passing a base of
snap1 and a top of snap2; and can be implemented offline by
'qemu-img commit snap2' followed by 'qemu-img rebase -u
-b snap1 active'

This patch adds helper functions that enable us to use libssh2 in
conjunction with libvirt's virNetSockets for ssh transport instead of
spawning "ssh" client process.
This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboard interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt. No
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.
Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "known_hosts" files is supported.
Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
