SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.
This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.
Commit 36025c552 tried to improve error reporting for <disk type="lun">
but reused the code in LXC which doesn't care about the actual disk
type. The error messages would then contain a bogous hint that the
config for the 'lun' device is invalid which might not be the case.
Re-do the relevant portion of the commit with the original message.
For disks sources described by a libvirt volume we don't need to do a
complicated check since virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool already
correctly determines the actual disk type.
Replace the checks using a new accessor that does not open-code the
whole logic.
Admin API needs a way of addressing specific clients. Unlike servers, which we
are happy to address by names both because its name reflects its purpose (to
some extent) and we only have two of them (so far), naming clients doesn't make
any sense, since a) each client is an anonymous, i.e. not recognized after a
disconnect followed by a reconnect, b) we can't predict what kind of requests
it's going to send to daemon, and c) the are loads of them comming and going,
so the only viable option is to use an ID which is of a reasonably wide data
type.

This reverts commit afee47d07c, which
added support to lxc for the "peer" attribute in domain interface <ip>
elements.
It's being removed temporarily for the release of libvirt 1.3.4
because the feature doesn't work, and there are concerns that it may
need to be modified in an externally visible manner which could create
backward compatibility problems.
It isn't implemented and does not work:
error: internal error: guest failed to start: /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc: option '--veth' requires an argument
syntax: /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc [OPTIONS] ...

When adding disk images to ACL we may call those functions on NFS

(crobinso: fix up spacing and squash in sheepdog bit suggested
by Andrea)
So, systemd-machined has this philosophy that machine names are like
hostnames and hence should follow the same rules. But we always allowed
international characters in domain names. Thus we need to modify the
machine name we are passing to systemd.
In order to change some machine names that we will be passing to systemd,
we also need to call TerminateMachine at the end of a lifetime of a
domain. Even for domains that were started with older libvirt. That
can be achieved thanks to virSystemdGetMachineNameByPID(). And because
we can change machine names, we can get rid of the inconsistent and
pointless escaping of domain names when creating machine names.
So this patch modifies the naming in the following way. It creates the
name as <drivername>-<id>-<name> where invalid hostname characters are
stripped out of the name and if the resulting name is longer, it
truncates it to 64 characters. That way we can start domains we
couldn't start before. Well, at least on systemd.
To make it work all together, the machineName (which is needed only with
systemd) is saved in domain's private data. That way the generation is
moved to the driver and we don't need to pass various unnecessary
arguments to cgroup functions.
The only thing this complicates a bit is the scope generation when
validating a cgroup where we must check both old and new naming, so a
slight modification was needed there.

On the host when we start a container, it will be
placed in a cgroup path of
/machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope
under /sys/fs/cgroup/*
Inside the containers' namespace we need to setup
/sys/fs/cgroup mounts, and currently will bind
mount /machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope on
the host to appear as / in the container.
While this may sound nice, it confuses applications
dealing with cgroups, because /proc/$PID/cgroup
now does not match the directory in /sys/fs/cgroup
This particularly causes problems for systems and
will make it create repeated path components in
the cgroup for apps run in the container eg
/machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope/machine.slice/machine-lxc\x2ddemo.scope/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-61.scope
This also causes any systemd service that uses
sd-notify to fail to start, because when systemd
receives the notification it won't be able to
identify the corresponding unit it came from.
In particular this break rabbitmq-server startup

which will handle this problem, but until that time

So, you want to create a domain from XML. The domain already
exists in libvirt's database of domains. It's okay, because name
and UUID matches. However, on domain startup, internal
representation of the domain is overwritten with your XML even

Okay, so we allow users to 'virsh create' an already existing
domain, providing completely different XML than the one stored in
Libvirt. Well, as long as name and UUID matches. However, in some
drivers the code that handles errors unconditionally removes the
domain that failed to start even though the domain might have
been persistent. Fortunately, the domain is removed just from the
internal list of domains and the config file is kept around.
Steps to reproduce:
1) virsh dumpxml $dom > /tmp/dom.xml
2) change XML so that it is still parse-able but won't boot, e.g.
change guest agent path to /foo/bar
3) virsh create /tmp/dom.xml
4) virsh dumpxml $dom

The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local

<interface type='udp'>

<source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>

</source>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
QEMU call:
-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222
Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.

Since its introduction in 2011 (particularly in commit f4324e3292),
the option doesn't work. It just effectively disables all incoming
connections. That's because the client private data that contain the
'keepalive_supported' boolean, are initialized to zeroes so the bool is
false and the only other place where the bool is used is when checking
whether the client supports keepalive. Thus, according to the server,
no client supports keepalive.
Removing this instead of fixing it is better because a) apparently
nobody ever tried it since 2011 (4 years without one month) and b) we
cannot know whether the client supports keepalive until we get a ping or
pong keepalive packet. And that won't happen until after we dispatched
the ConnectOpen call.
Another two reasons would be c) the keepalive_required was tracked on
the server level, but keepalive_supported was in private data of the
client as well as the check that was made in the remote layer, thus
making all other instances of virNetServer miss this feature unless they
all implemented it for themselves and d) we can always add it back in
case there is a request and a use-case for it.

So, recently I was testing the LXC driver. You know, startup some
domains. But to my surprise, I was not able to start a single one:
virsh # start --console test
error: Reconnected to the hypervisor
error: Failed to start domain test
error: internal error: guest failed to start: unexpected exit status 125
So I've start digging. It turns out, that in virExec(), when I printed
out the @cmd, I got strange values: *(cmd->outfdptr) was certainly not
valid FD number: it has random value of several millions. This
obviously made prepareStdFd(childout, STDOUT_FILENO) fail (line 611).
But outfdptr is set in virCommandSetOutputFD(). The only place within
LXC driver where the function is called is in
virLXCProcessBuildControllerCmd(). If you take a closer look at the
function it looks like this:
static virCommandPtr
virLXCProcessBuildControllerCmd(virLXCDriverPtr driver,
..
int logfd,
const char *pidfile)
{
...
virCommandSetOutputFD(cmd, &logfd);
virCommandSetErrorFD(cmd, &logfd);
...
}
Yes, you guessed it. @logfd is passed into the function by value.
However, in the function we try to get its address (an address of a
local variable) which is no longer valid once function is finished and
stack is cleaned. Therefore when cmd->outfdptr is evaluated at any
point after this function, we may get a random number, depending on
what's currently on the stack. Of course, this may work sometimes too
- it depends on the compiler how it arranges the code, when the stack
is wiped out.
In order to fix this, lets pass a pointer to @logfd instead of
figuring out (wrong) its value in a function.
