Libvirt updates the configuration of SPICE server only when something
changes. This is unfortunate when the user wants to disconnect a
existing spice session when the connected attribute is already
"disconnect".
This patch modifies the conditions for calling the password updater to
be called when nothing changes, but the connected attribute is already
"disconnect".
While unescaping the commands the commands passed through to the monitor
function qemuMonitorUnescapeArg() initialized lenght of the input string
to strlen()+1 which is fine for alloc but not for iteration of the
string.
This patch fixes the off-by-one error and drops the pointless check for
a single trailing slash that is automaticaly handled by the default
branch of switch.
commit 52d064f42d added
VIR_NETWORK_XML_INACTIVE in order to allow suppressing the
auto-generated list of VFs in network definitions, and a --inactive
flag to virsh net-dumpxml to take advantage of the flag. However, it
missed out on two opportunities:
1) Use INACTIVE to get the current config of the network as it
exists on disk, rather than the currently active config.
2) Add INACTIVE to the flags used for the virsh net-edit command, so
that it won't include the forward-pool interfaces that were
autogenerated, and so that a re-edit of the network prior to
restarting it will show any other edits made since the last restart
of the network. (prior to this patch, if you edited a network a 2nd
time without restarting, all of the previous edits would magically
disappear).
In order to fit with the new #define-based generic edit function in
virsh.c, a new function vshNetworkGetXMLDesc() was added. This
function first tries to call virNetworkGetXMLDesc with the INACTIVE
flag added, then retries without if the first attempt fails (in the
manner expected when the server doesn't support it).
A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.
If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.
Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.
This all also applies to the LXC driver
* docs/hooks.html.in: Document new operations
* src/util/hooks.c, src/util/hooks.c: Add 'started', 'reconnect'
and 'attach' operations for QEMU. Add 'prepare', 'started',
'release' and 'reconnect' operations for LXC

'release' and 'reconnect' operations
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Add hooks for 'started', 'reconnect'
and 'reconnect' operations
First 'poll' can't return EWOULDBLOCK, and second, we're checking errno
so far away from the poll() call that we've probably already trashed the
original errno value.
In addition to keepalive responses, we also need to send keepalive
requests from client IO loop to properly detect dead connection in case
a libvirt API is called from the main loop, which prevents any timers to
be called.
The previous commit removed the only usage of ``all'' parameter in
virKeepAliveStopInternal, which was actually the only reason for having
virKeepAliveStopInternal. This effectively reverts most of commit
6446a9e20c.
When a libvirt API is called from the main event loop (which seems to be
common in event-based glib apps), the client IO loop would properly
handle keepalive requests sent by a server but will not actually send
them because the main event loop is blocked with the API. This patch
gets rid of response timer and the thread which is processing keepalive
requests is also responsible for queueing responses for delivery.
Add virKeepAliveTimeout and virKeepAliveTrigger APIs that can be used to
set poll timeouts and trigger keepalive timer. virKeepAliveTrigger
checks if it is called to early and does nothing in that case.
The code that needs to be run every keepalive interval of inactivity was
only called from a timer and thus from the main event loop. We will need
to call the code directly from another place.
As non-blocking calls are no longer dropped, we don't really need to
care that much about their fate and wait for the thread with the buck
to process them. If another thread has the buck, we can just push a
non-blocking call to the queue and be done with it.
So far, we were dropping non-blocking calls whenever sending them would
block. In case a client is sending lots of stream calls (which are not
supposed to generate any reply), the assumption that having other calls
in a queue is sufficient to get a reply from the server doesn't work. I
tried to fix this in b1e374a7ac but
failed and reverted that commit.
With this patch, non-blocking calls are never dropped (unless the
connection is being closed) and will always be sent.
Normally, when every call has a thread associated with it, the thread
may get the buck and be in charge of sending all calls until its own
call is done. When we introduced non-blocking calls, we had to add
special handling of new non-blocking calls. This patch uses event loop
to send data if there is no thread to get the buck so that any
non-blocking calls left in the queue are properly sent without having to
handle them specially. It also avoids adding even more cruft to client
IO loop in the following patches.
With this change in, non-blocking calls may see unpredictable delays in
delivery when the client has no event loop registered. However, the only
non-blocking calls we have are keepalives and we already require event
loop for them, which makes this a non-issue until someone introduces new
non-blocking calls.
'make dist' was depending on *protocol-structs files, which are
stored in git but in turn depended on generated files. We still
want to ship the protocol-structs files, but by renaming the
tests to something not matching a file name, we separate 'make
check' (which depends on the generated file) from 'make dist'
(which only depends on the git files). After all, the tarball
should never depend on a generated file not stored in git.
I found one more case of a git file depending on a generated
file, in a bogus virkeycode.c listing; but at least this one
had no associated rules so it never broke 'make dist'.
Reported by Wen Congyang. Latent bug has been present since
commit 62dee6f, but only recently exposed by commit 7bff56a.

Currently, if qemuProcessStart fail at some point, e.g. because
domain being started wants a PCI/USB device already assigned to
a different domain, we jump to cleanup label where qemuProcessStop
is performed. This unconditionally calls virSecurityManagerRestoreAllLabel
which is wrong because the other domain is still using those devices.
However, once we successfully label all devices/paths in
qemuProcessStart() from that point on, we have to perform a rollback
on failure - that is - we have to virSecurityManagerRestoreAllLabel.
The two APIs are rather trivial; based on bits and pieces of other
existing APIs. It leaves the door open for future extension to
qemu to report snapshots without metadata based on reading qcow2
internal snapshot names.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotIsCurrent)
(qemuDomainSnapshotHasMetadata): New functions.
Right now, starting from just a virDomainSnapshotPtr, and wanting to
know if it is the current snapshot for its respective domain, you have
to use virDomainSnapshotGetDomain(), then virDomainSnapshotCurrent(),
then compare the two names returned by virDomainSnapshotGetName().
It is a bit easier if we can directly query this information from the
snapshot itself.
Right now, it is possible to filter a snapshot listing based on
whether snapshots have metadata that would prevent domain deletion,
but the only way to learn if an individual snapshot has metadata is
to see if that snapshot appears in the list returned by a listing.
Additionally, I hope to expand the qemu driver in a future patch to
use qemu-img to reconstruct snapshot XML corresponding to internal
qcow2 snapshot names not otherwise tracked by libvirt (in part, so
that libvirt can guarantee that new snapshots are not created with
a name that would silently corrupt the existing portion of the qcow2
file); if I ever get that in, then it would no longer be an all-or-none
decision on whether snapshots have metadata, and becomes all the more
important to be able to directly determine that information from a
particular snapshot.
Other query functions (such as virDomainIsActive) do not have a flags
argument, but since virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot takes a flags argument,
I figured it was safer to provide a flags argument here as well.

Right now, the only way to get at the contents of a virBuffer is
to destroy it. But there are cases in my upcoming patches where
peeking at the contents makes life easier. I suppose this does
open up the potential for bad code to dereference a stale pointer,
by disregarding the docs that the return value is invalid on the
next virBuf operation, but such is life.

My latest patch for RPC rework (a2c304f687) introduced a memory leak.
virNetMessageEncodeHeader() is calling VIR_ALLOC_N(msg->buffer, ...)
despite fact, that msg->buffer isn't VIR_FREE()'d on all paths calling
the function. Therefore, rather than injecting free statement switch to
VIR_REALLOC_N().
when do remount,the source and target should be the same
values specified in the initial mount() call.
So change fs->dst to src.

virDomainSnapshotPtr has a refcount member, but no one was able
to use it. Furthermore, all of our other vir*Ptr objects have
a *Ref method to match their *Free method. Thankfully, this is
client-side only, so we can use this new function regardless of
how old the server side is! (I have future patches to virsh
that want to use it.)

When libvirtd forks off a new child, the child then calls virLogReset(),
which ends up closing file descriptors used as log outputs. However, we
recently started logging closed file descriptors, which means we need to
lock logging mutex which was already locked by virLogReset(). We don't
really want to log anything when we are in the process of closing log
outputs.
For pseries guest, spapr-vlan and spapr-vty is based
on spapr-vio address. According to model of network
device, the address type should be assigned automatically.
For serial device, serial pty device is recognized as
spapr-vty device, which is also on spapr-vio.
So this patch is to correct the address type of
spapr-vlan and spapr-vty, and build correct
command line of spapr-vty.

There is a theoretical problem of an extreme bug where we can get
into deadlock due to command handshaking. Thanks to a pair of pipes,
we have a situation where the parent thinks the child reported an
error and is waiting for a message from the child to explain the
error; but at the same time the child thinks it reported success
and is waiting for the parent to acknowledge the success; so both
processes are now blocked.
Thankfully, I don't think this deadlock is possible without at
least one other bug in the code, but I did see exactly that sort
of situation prior to commit da831af - I saw a backtrace where a
double close bug in the parent caused the parent to read from the
wrong fd and assume the child failed, even though the child really
sent success.
This potential deadlock is not quite like commit 858c247 (a deadlock
due to multiple readers on one pipe preventing a write from completing),
although the solution is similar - always close unused pipe fds before
blocking, rather than after.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandHandshakeWait): Close unused fds
sooner.
When libvirtd is started and there is an unusable/not-connectable
leftover from earlier started machine, it's more reasonable to say
that the machine "crashed" if we know it was started with
"-no-shutdown".
This patch fixes that and also changes the other result (when machine
was started without "-no-shutdown") to "unknown", because the previous
"failed" reason means (according to include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in:174),
that the machine failed to start.
Commit 7bff56a worked in an incremental build, but fails for a
fresh clone; apparently, if make sees both an actual file
spelling and an inference rule, only the exact spelling is used.

the dir backend, then the build is broken.

Since we are allocating RPC buffer dynamically, we can increase limits
for max. size of RPC message and RPC string. This is needed to cover
some corner cases where libvirt is run on such huge machines that their
capabilities XML is 4 times bigger than our current limit. This leaves
users with inability to even connect.
Currently, we are allocating buffer for RPC messages statically.
This is not such pain when RPC limits are small. However, if we want
ever to increase those limits, we need to allocate buffer dynamically,
based on RPC message len (= the first 4 bytes). Therefore we will
decrease our mem usage in most cases and still be flexible enough in
corner cases.
We had a distributed file (remote_protocol.h, which in turn was
a prereq to remote_driver.c) depending on a generated file
(libvirt_probes.h), which is a no-no for a VPATH build from a

that situation):

Rather than making distributed .c files depend on generated files, we
really want to ensure that compilation into .lo files is not attempted
until the generated files are present, done by this patch. Since there
were two different sets of conditionally generated files that both
feed the .lo file, I had to introduce a new variable REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS
to keep automake happy.
After that fix, the next issue was that make treats './foo' and 'foo'
differently in determining whether an implicit %foo rule is applicable,
with the result that locking/qemu-sanlock.conf wasn't properly being
built at the right times. Also, the output for using the .aug test
files was a bit verbose.
After fixing the src directory, the next error is related to the docs
directory, where the tarball is missing a stamp file and thus tries to
regenerate files that are already present:

I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.
It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0
The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".
If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.

It is possible to deadlock libvirt by having a domain with XML
longer than PIPE_BUF, and by writing a hook script that closes
stdin early. This is because libvirt was keeping a copy of the
child's stdin read fd open, which means the write fd in the
parent will never see EPIPE (remember, libvirt should always be
run with SIGPIPE ignored, so we should never get a SIGPIPE signal).
Since there is no error, libvirt blocks waiting for a write to
complete, even though the only reader is also libvirt. The
solution is to ensure that only the child can act as a reader
before the parent does any writes; and then dealing with the
fallout of dealing with EPIPE.
Thankfully, this is not a security hole - since the only way to
trigger the deadlock is to install a custom hook script, anyone
that already has privileges to install a hook script already has
privileges to do any number of other equally disruptive things
to libvirt; it would only be a security hole if an unprivileged
user could install a hook script to DoS a privileged user.

read fd earlier.

Although src/util/viratomic.h has been added to the repo, up until now
it hasn't been used. Stefan Berger is using it in his proposed dhcp
snooping patches, and an rpm build with those patches failed due to

EBADF errors are logged as warnings as they normally indicate a double
close bug. This patch also provides VIR_MASS_CLOSE helper to be user in
the only case of mass close after fork when EBADF should rather be
ignored.
