QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

There are two special cases, if the input number is 0 or the number is
larger then 2^31 (for 32bit unsigned int). For the special cases the
return value is 0 because they cannot be rounded.

As qemu is now able to notify us about change of the channel state used
for communication with the guest agent we now can more precisely track
the state of the guest agent.
To allow notifying management apps this patch implements a new event
that will be triggered on changes of the guest agent state.
With this change, any patch declared in libvirt.spec with Patch[0-9]* is
automatically applied in %prep. Unlike with the standard %patch[0-9]*,
patches are applied with "git am" to avoid some unexpected results.
However, as a result of this, all patches must be in the right format
for "git am" to be able to apply them; they should ideally be generated
from git using "git format-patch".

Improve the monitor function to also retrieve the guest state of
character device (if provided) so that we can refresh the state of
virtio-serial channels and perhaps react to changes in the state in
future patches.
This patch changes the returned data from qemuMonitorGetChardevInfo to
return a structure containing the pty path and the state for all the
character devices.
The change to the testsuite makes sure that the data is parsed
correctly.
This patch contains three domain cleanup improvements in the migration
finish phase, ensuring a domain is properly disposed when a failure is
detected or the migration is cancelled.
The check for virDomainObjIsActive is moved to libxlDomainMigrationFinish,
where cleanup can occur if migration failed and the domain is inactive.
The 'cleanup' label was missplaced in libxlDomainMigrationFinish, causing
a migrated domain to remain in the event of an error or cancelled migration.
In cleanup, the domain was not removed from the driver's list of domains.

During the perform phase of migration, the domain is started on
the dst host in a running state if VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED flag is not
specified. In the finish phase, the domain is also unpaused if
VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED flag is unset. I've noticed this second unpause
fails if the domain was already unpaused following the perform phase.
This patch changes the perform phase to always start the domain
paused, and defers unpausing, if requested, to the finish phase.
Unpausing should occur in the finish phase anyhow, where the domain
can be properly destroyed if the perform phase fails and migration
is cancelled.

Moving data reception of the perform phase of migration to a
thread introduces a race with the finish phase, where checking
if the domain is active races with the thread finishing the
perform phase. The race is easily solved by acquiring a job in
the finish phase, which must wait for the perform phase job to
complete.
While wrapping the finish phase in a job, noticed the virDomainObj
was being unlocked in a callee - libxlDomainMigrationFinish. Move
the unlocking to libxlDomainMigrateFinish3Params, where the lock
is acquired.

The libxl driver receives migration data within an IO callback invoked
by the event loop, effectively disabling the event loop while migration
occurs.
This patch moves receving of the migration data to a thread. The
incoming connection is still accepted in the IO callback, but control
is immediately returned to the event loop after spawning the thread.

Specifying an explicit path to pygrub (e.g. BINDIR "/pygrub") only works if
Xen and libvirt happen to be installed to the same prefix. A more flexible
approach is to simply specify "pygrub" which will cause libxl to use the
correct path which it knows (since it is built with the same prefix as pygrub).
This is particular problematic in the Debian packaging, since the Debian Xen
package relocates pygrub into a libexec dir, however I think this change makes
sense upstream.

To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
As we now have a common function to parse backing store string for RBD
backing store we can reuse it in the backing store walker so that we
don't fail on files backed by RBD storage.
This patch also adds a few tests to verify that the parsing works as
expected.
To allow reuse this non-trivial parser code in the backing store parser
this part of the command line parser needs to be split out into a
separate funciton.
Instead of splitting out various fields, pass the complete structure and
let the function pick various things of it.
As one of the callers isn't using virStorageSourcePtr to store the data,
this patch adds glue code that fills the data into a dummy
virStorageSourcePtr before calling the func.
This change will help when adding new fields that need output processing
in the future.
If there are no hosts for a storage source virStorageSourceCopy and
virStorageSourceNewFromBackingRelative would try to copy them anyways.
As the success of virStorageNetHostDefCopy is determined by returning
a pointer and malloc of 0 elements might return NULL according to the
implementation, the result of the copy function may vary.
Fix this by copying the hosts array only if there are hosts defined.
As we now have a deep copy function for struct virStorageSource add a
notice that extensions of the structure require also appropriate changes
to the virStorageSourceCopy func.
The docs describing the <host> element that are under the <source>
element in the XML document were incorrectly placed under the <disk>
element. Move them to the correct place.
New qemu added a new event that is emitted when a virtio serial channel
is opened in the guest OS. This allows us to update the state of the
port in the output-only XML element.
This patch implements the monitor callbacks and necessary handlers to
update the state in the definition.
To track state of virtio channels this patch adds a new output-only
attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.
To unify future additions that require information from "query-chardev"
rename qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths and friends to qemuMonitorGetChardevInfo
and move the allocation of the returned hash into the top level
function.
To simplify looking for a problem instrument the XML comparator function
with possibility to print the filename of the failed/expected XML
output.
This is necessary as the VIR_TEST_DIFFERENT macro possibly tests two XML
files for the inactive/active state and the resulting error may not be
obvious.
When creating a disk image snapshot the libvirt code would blindly copy
the parents label to the newly created image. This runs into problems
when you start a VM from an image hosted on NFS (or other storage system
that doesn't support selinux labels) and the snapshot destination is on
a storage system that does support selinux labels. Libvirt's code in
that case generates a different security label for the image hosted on
NFS. This label is valid only for NFS images and doesn't allow access in
case of a locally stored image.
To fix this issue libvirt needs to refrain from copying security
information in cases where the default domain seclabel is a better
choice.
This patch repurposes the now unused @force argument of
virStorageSourceInitChainElement to denote whether a copy of the
security labelling stuff should be attempted or not. This allows to
fine-control the copy operation for cases where we need to keep the
label of the old disk vs. the cases where we need to keep the label
unset to use the default domain imagelabel.

When libvirt create's the vport (VPORT_CREATE) for the vHBA, there isn't
enough "time" between the creation and the running of the following
backend->refreshPool after a backend->startPool in order to find the LU's.
Population of LU's happens asynchronously when udevEventHandleCallback
discovers the "new" vHBA port. Creation of the infrastructure by udev
is an iterative process creating and discovering actual storage devices and
adjusting the environment.
Because of the time it takes to discover and set things up, the backend
refreshPool call done after the startPool call will generally fail to
find any devices. This leaves the newly started pool appear empty when
querying via 'vol-list' after startup. The "workaround" has always been
to run pool-refresh after startup (or any time thereafter) in order to
find the LU's. Depending on how quickly run after startup, this too may
not find any LUs in the pool. Eventually though given enough time and
retries it will find something if LU's exist for the vHBA.
This patch adds a thread to be executed after the VPORT_CREATE which will
attempt to find the LU's without requiring the external run of refresh-pool.
It does this by waiting for 5 seconds and searching for the LU's. If any
are found, then the thread completes; otherwise, it will retry once more
in another 5 seconds. If none are found in that second pass, the thread
gives up.
Things learned while investigating this... No need to try and fill the
pool too quickly or too many times. Over the course of creation, the udev
code may 'add', 'change', and 'delete' the same device. So if the refresh
code runs and finds something, it may display it only to have a subsequent
refresh appear to "lose" the device. The udev processing doesn't seem to
have a way to indicate that it's all done with the creation processing of a
newly found vHBA. Only the Lone Ranger has silver bullets to fix everything.
Fix a problem in the getBlockDevice and processLU where retval initialized
to zero causing some failures to erroneously continue through to the
virStorageBackendSCSINewLun with an attempt to find a path for "/dev/(null)".
This would fail approximately 10 seconds later with debug message:
virStorageBackendSCSINewLun:203 :
No stable path found for '/dev/(null)' in '/dev/disk/by-path'
The root cause of the issue is for many /sys/bus/scsi/devices/<lun path>
there is no "block*" device found for the vHBA's, where "<lun path>" are
the various paths created for the vHBA, such as "17:0:0:0", "17:0:1:0",
"17:0:2:0", "17:0:3:0", etc. If the block device isn't found, then the
directory should just be ignored rather than attempting to process it.
The bug was that in getBlockDevice the assumption was "block" would exist
and either getNewStyleBlockDevice or getOldStyleBlockDevice would fill in
@block_device. However, if 'block*' doesn't exist, then the code returned
NULL for block_device *and* a good (zero) retval value. This caused the
processLU code to attempt the virStorageBackendSCSINewLun which failed
"at some point in time" in the future.
After this change - on test system the refresh-pool didn't have a noticable
pause of about 20 seconds - it completed within a second since no longer
was there an attempt/need to find "/dev/(null)".
Additionally, the virStorageBackendSCSIFindLU's shouldn't be declaring
found unless the processLU actually returns success. This will be
important in the followup patch which relies on whether a LU was found.
