The public virConnectRef and virConnectClose API are just thin
wrappers around virObjectRef/virObjectRef, with added object
validation and an error reset. Within our backend drivers, use
of the object validation is just an inefficiency since we always
pass valid objects. More important to think about is what
happens with the error reset; our uses of virConnectRef happened
to be safe (since we hadn't encountered any earlier errors), but
in several cases the use of virConnectClose could lose a real
error.
Ideally, we should also avoid calling virConnectOpen() from
within backend drivers - but that is a known situation that
needs much more design work.

There is a number of reported issues when we fail starting a domain.
Turns out that, in some scenarios like high load, 3 second timeout is
not enough for qemu to start up to the phase where the socket is
created. Since there is no downside of waiting longer, raise the
timeout right to 30 seconds.

Ever since ACL filtering was added in commit 7639736 (v1.1.1), a
user could still use event registration to obtain access to a
domain that they could not normally access via virDomainLookup*
or virConnectListAllDomains and friends. We already have the
framework in the RPC generator for creating the filter, and
previous cleanup patches got us to the point that we can now
wire the filter through the entire object event stack.
Furthermore, whether or not domain:getattr is honored, use of
global events is a form of obtaining a list of networks, which
is covered by connect:search_domains added in a93cd08 (v1.1.0).
Ideally, we'd have a way to enforce connect:search_domains when
doing global registrations while omitting that check on a
per-domain registration. But this patch just unconditionally
requires connect:search_domains, even when no list could be
obtained, based on the following observations:
1. Administrators are unlikely to grant domain:getattr for one
or all domains while still denying connect:search_domains - a
user that is able to manage domains will want to be able to
manage them efficiently, but efficient management includes being
able to list the domains they can access. The idea of denying
connect:search_domains while still granting access to individual
domains is therefore not adding any real security, but just
serves as a layer of obscurity to annoy the end user.
2. In the current implementation, domain events are filtered
on the client; the server has no idea if a domain filter was
requested, and must therefore assume that all domain event
requests are global. Even if we fix the RPC protocol to
allow for server-side filtering for newer client/server combos,
making the connect:serach_domains ACL check conditional on
whether the domain argument was NULL won't benefit older clients.
Therefore, we choose to document that connect:search_domains
is a pre-requisite to any domain event management.
Network events need the same treatment, with the obvious
change of using connect:search_networks and network:getattr.

If a VM dies very early during an attempted connect to the guest agent
while the locks are down the domain monitor object will be freed. The
object is then accessed later as any failure during guest agent startup
isn't considered fatal.
In the current upstream version this doesn't lead to a crash as
virObjectLock called when entering the monitor in
qemuProcessDetectVcpuPIDs checks the pointer before attempting to
dereference (lock) it. The NULL pointer is then caught in the monitor
helper code.
Before the introduction of virObjectLockable - observed on 0.10.2 - the
pointer is locked directly via virMutexLock leading to a crash.
To avoid this problem we need to differentiate between the guest agent
not being present and the VM quitting when the locks were down. The fix
reorganizes the code in qemuConnectAgent to add the check and then adds
special handling to the callers.
CVE-2013-6458
Generally, every API that is going to begin a job should do that before
fetching data from vm->def. However, qemuDomainGetBlockInfo does not
know whether it will have to start a job or not before checking vm->def.
To avoid using disk alias that might have been freed while we were
waiting for a job, we use its copy. In case the disk was removed in the
meantime, we will fail with "cannot find statistics for device '...'"
error message.
CVE-2013-6458
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043069
When virDomainDetachDeviceFlags is called concurrently to
virDomainBlockStats: libvirtd may crash because qemuDomainBlockStats
finds a disk in vm->def before getting a job on a domain and uses the
disk pointer after getting the job. However, the domain in unlocked
while waiting on a job condition and thus data behind the disk pointer
may disappear. This happens when thread 1 runs
virDomainDetachDeviceFlags and enters monitor to actually remove the
disk. Then another thread starts running virDomainBlockStats, finds the
disk in vm->def, and while it's waiting on the job condition (owned by
the first thread), the first thread finishes the disk removal. When the
second thread gets the job, the memory pointed to be the disk pointer is
already gone.
That said, every API that is going to begin a job should do that before
fetching data from vm->def.
This patch fixes a segmentation fault when creating new virtual machines using QEMU.
The segmentation fault is caused by commit f41830680e
and commit cbb6ec42e2.
In virQEMUCapsProbeQMPMachineTypes, when copying machines to qemuCaps, "none" is skipped.
Therefore, the value of i and "qemuCaps->nmachineTypes - 1" do not always match.
However, defIdx value (used to call virQEMUCapsSetDefaultMachine) is set using the value in i
when the array elements are in qemuCaps->nmachineTypes - 1.
So, when libvirt tries to create virtual machines using the default machine type,
qemuCaps->machineTypes[defIdx] is accessed and since the defIdx is NULL, it results in segmentation fault.

done after which the error is restored back. This has however one
flaw: if opening of the log file fails an error is reported,
which results in previous error being overwritten (the useful
one, e.g. "PCI device XXXX:XXXX could not be found"). Hence, user
sees something like:

Add a range check for supported numa memory placement modes provided by
the user before setting them in the domain definition. Without the check
the user is able to provide a (yet) unknown mode which is then stored in
the domain definition. This potentially causes a NULL dereference when
the defintion is formatted into the XML.
To reproduce run:
virsh numatune DOMNAME --mode 6 --nodeset 0
The XML will then contain:
<numatune>
<memory mode='(null)' nodeset='0'/>
</numatune>
With this fix, the command fails:
error: Unable to change numa parameters
error: invalid argument: unsupported numa_mode: '6'
Add whitespace to separate logical code blocks, reformat error messages
and clean up code flow.
This patch changes error handling in some cases where the the loop would
be continued to jump to cleanup instead and error out rather than modify
the domain any further.
Do not leave the PCI address of the primary video card set
to the legacy default (0000:00:02.0) if we're doing two-pass
allocation.
Since QEMU 1.6 (QEMU_CAPS_VIDEO_PRIMARY) we allow the primary
video card to be on other slots than 0000:00:02.0 (as we use
-device instead of -vga).
However we fail to assign it an address if:
* another device explicitly uses 0000:00:02.0 and
* the primary video device has no address specified
On the first pass, we have set the address to default, then checked
if it's available, leaving it set even if it wasn't. This address
got picked up by the second pass, resulting in a conflict:
XML error: Attempted double use of PCI slot 0000:00:02.0
(may need "multifunction='on'" for device on function 0)
Also fix the test that was supposed to catch this.
This eliminates the misleading error message that was being logged

Commit ee414b5d (pushed as a fix for Bug 1016511 and part of Bug
1025108) replaced the single call to
virSecurityManagerSetHostdevLabel() in qemuDomainAttachHostDevice()
with individual calls to that same function in each
device-type-specific attach function (for PCI, USB, and SCSI). It also
added a corresponding call to virSecurityManagerRestoreHostdevLabel()
in the error handling of the device-type-specific functions, but
forgot to remove the common call to that from
qemuDomainAttachHostDevice() - this resulted in a duplicate call to
virSecurityManagerRestoreHostdevLabel(), with the second occurrence
being after (e.g.) a PCI device has already been re-attached to the
host driver, thus destroying some of the device nodes / links that we
then attempted to re-label (e.f. /dev/vfio/22) and generating an error
log that obscured the original error.
This resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035490
virProcessSetMaxMemLock() (which is a wrapper over prlimit(3)) expects
the memory size in bytes, but libvirt's domain definition (which was
being used by qemuDomainAttachHostPciDevice()) stores all memory
tuning parameters in KiB. This was being accounted for when setting
MaxMemLock at domain startup time (so cold-plugged devices would
work), but not for hotplug.
This patch simplifies the few lines that call
virProcessSetMemMaxLock(), and multiply the amount * 1024 so that
we're locking the correct amount of memory.
What remains a mystery to me is why hot-plug of a managed='no' device
would succeed (at least on my system) while managed='yes' would
fail. I guess in one case the memory was coincidentally already
resident and in the other it wasn't.
On a system that is enforcing FIPS, most libraries honor the
current mode by default. Qemu, on the other hand, refused to
honor FIPS mode unless you add the '-enable-fips' command
line option; worse, this option is not discoverable via QMP,
and is only present on binaries built for Linux. So, if we
detect FIPS mode, then we unconditionally ask for FIPS; either
qemu is new enough to have the option and then correctly
cripple insecure VNC passwords, or it is so old that we are
correctly avoiding a FIPS violation by preventing qemu from
starting. Meanwhile, if we don't detect FIPS mode, then
omitting the argument is safe whether the qemu has the option
(but it would do nothing because FIPS is disabled) or whether
qemu lacks the option (including in the case where we are not
running on Linux).
The testsuite was a bit interesting: we don't want our test
to depend on whether it is being run in FIPS mode, so I had
to tweak things to set the capability bit outside of our
normal interaction with capability parsing.

The error is due to alignment; the base class is merely aligned
to the worst of 'int' and 'void*', while the child class must
be aligned to a 'long long'. The solution is to include a
'long long' (and for good measure, a function pointer) in the
base class to ensure correct alignment regardless of what a
child class may add, but to wrap the inclusion in a union so
as to not incur any wasted space. On a typical x86_64 platform,
the base class remains 16 bytes; on i686, the base class remains
12 bytes; and on the impacted ARM platform, the base class grows
from 12 bytes to 16 bytes due to the increase of alignment from
4 to 8 bytes.

The BZ asked for the capability to change the number of queues used by
a virtio-net device while the device is in use. Because the number of
queues can only be set at the time the device is created, that isn't

(which was already closed as CANTFIX because the qemu "-boot strict"
commandline option wasn't available at the time).
Problem: you couldn't have a domain that used PXE to boot, but also
had an un-bootable disk device *even if that disk wasn't listed in the
boot order*, because if PXE timed out (e.g. due to the bridge
forwarding delay), the BIOS would move on to the next target, which
would be the unbootable disk device (again - even though it wasn't
given a boot order), and get stuck at a "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PRESS ANY
KEY" message until a user intervened.
The solution available since sometime around QEMU 1.5, is to add
"-boot strict=on" to *every* qemu command. When this is done, if any
devices have a boot order specified, then QEMU will *only* attempt to
boot from those devices that have an explicit boot order, ignoring the
rest.

Commit f094aaac48 changed the PCI device assignment in qemu domains
to default to using VFIO rather than legacy KVM device assignment
(when VFIO is available). It didn't change which driver was used by
default for virNodeDeviceDetachFlags(), though, so that API (and the
virsh nodedev-detach command) was still binding to the pci-stub
driver, used by legacy KVM assignment, by default.
This patch publicizes (only within the qemu module, though, so no
additions to the symbol exports are needed) the functions that check
for presence of KVM and VFIO device assignment, then uses those
functions to decide what to do when no driver is specified for
virNodeDeviceDetachFlags(); if the vfio driver is loaded, the device
will be bound to vfio-pci, or if legacy KVM assignment is supported on
this system, the device will be bound to pci-stub; if neither method
is available, the detach will fail.
Currently the snapshot code did not check if it actually supports
snapshots on various disk backends for domains. To avoid future problems
