The current syntax uses a pair of args
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:56:6c:55,vlan=3,model=pcnet,name=pcnet.0
-net user,vlan=3,name=user.0
The new syntax does not need the vlan craziness anymore, and
so has a simplified pair of args
-netdev user,id=user.0
-device pcnet,netdev=user.0,id=pcnet.0,mac=52:54:00:56:6c:55,addr=<PCI SLOT>
The current preferred syntax for disk drives uses
-drive file=/vms/plain.qcow,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on,format=qcow
The new syntax splits this up into a pair of linked args
-drive file=/vms/plain.qcow,if=none,id=drive-virtio-0,format=qcow2
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-0,id=virtio-0,addr=<PCI SLOT>
SCSI/IDE devices also get a bus property linking them to the
controller
-device scsi-disk,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0,bus=scsi0.0,scsi-id=0
-device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bus=ide0,unit=0
The current syntax for audio devices is a horrible multiplexed
arg
-soundhw sb16,pcspk,ac97
The new syntax is
-device sb16,id=sound0
or
-device AC97,id=sound1,addr=<PCI SLOT>
NB, pcspk still uses the old -soundhw syntax
The current character device syntax uses either
-serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2
Or
-chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0
With the new -device support, we now prefer
-chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0
This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new
scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old
QEMU.
The monitor device changes to
-chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor
In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the
default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the
need for us to explicitly turn each off
When starting a guest, give every device a unique alias. This will
be used for the 'id' parameter in -device args in later patches.
It can also be used to uniquely identify devices in the monitor
For old QEMU without -device, assign disk names based on QEMU's
historical naming scheme.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Assign unique device aliases
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove obsolete qemudDiskDeviceName
and use the device alias in eject & blockstats commands
Probe for the new -device flag and if available set the -nodefaults
flag, instead of using -net none, -serial none or -parallel none.
Other device types will be converted to use -device in later patches.
The -nodefaults flag will help avoid unwelcome surprises from future
QEMU releases
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Probe for -device. Add -nodefaults flag.
Remove -net none, -serial none or -parallel none
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Define QEMU_CMD_FLAG_DEVICE
* tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-0.12.1: New data file for 0.12.1 QEMU
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Test feature extraction from 0.12.1 QEMU
This patch introduces the support for giving all devices a short,
unique name, henceforth known as a 'device alias'. These aliases
are not set by the end user, instead being assigned by the hypervisor
if it decides it want to support this concept.
The QEMU driver sets them whenever using the -device arg syntax
and uses them for improved hotplug/hotunplug. it is the intent
that other APIs (block / interface stats & device hotplug) be
able to accept device alias names in the future.
The XML syntax is
<alias name="video0"/>
This may appear in any type of device that supports device info.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add a 'alias'
field to virDomainDeviceInfo struct & parse/format it in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainDefClearDeviceAliases
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Replace use of "nic_name" field with the
standard device alias
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Clear device aliases at shutdown
Existing applications using libvirt are not aware of the disk
controller concept. Thus, after parsing the <disk> definitions
in the XML, it is neccessary to create <controller> elements
to satisfy all requested disks, as per their defined drive
addresses
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
method for populating disk controllers, and call it after
parsing disk definitions.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
when doing ARGV -> XML conversion
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv*.xml: Add disk controller
data to all data files which don't have it already
The current code for using -drive simply sets the -drive 'index'
parameter. QEMU internally converts this to bus/unit depending
on the type of drive. This does not give us precise control over
the bus/unit assignment though. This change switches over to make
libvirt explicitly calculate the bus/unit number.
In addition bus/unit/index are actually irrelevant for VirtIO
disks, since each virtio disk is a separate PCI device. No disk
controller is involved.
Doing the conversion to bus/unit in libvirt allows us to correctly
attach SCSI controllers when required.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Specify bus/unit instead of index for
disks
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk*.args: Switch over from
using index=NNNN, to bus=NN, unit=NN for SCSI/IDE/Floppy disks
To enable it to be called from multiple locations, split out
the code for building the -drive arg string. This will be needed
by later patches which do drive hotplug, the conversion to use
-device, and the conversion to controller/bus/unit addressing
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add qemuBuildDriveStr
for building -drive arg string
When parsing the <disk> element specification, if no <address>
is provided for the disk, then automatically assign one based on
the <target dev='sdXX'/> device name. This provides for backwards
compatability with existing applications using libvirt, while also
allowing new apps to have complete fine grained control.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress()
for assigning a controller/bus/unit address based on disk target
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress() after
generating XML from ARGV
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*.xml: Add in drive address information
to all XML files
The -mem-prealloc flag should be used when using large pages
This ensures qemu tries to allocate all required memory immediately,
rather than when first used. The latter mode will crash qemu
if hugepages aren't available when accessed, while the former
should gracefully fallback to non-hugepages.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: add -mem-prealloc flag to qemu command line
when using large pages
The behavior for the qemu balloon device has changed. Formerly, a virtio
balloon device was provided by default. Now, '-balloon virtio' must be
specified on the command line to enable it. This patch causes libvirt to
add '-balloon virtio' to the command line whenever the -balloon option is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: check for the new flag and
add "-baloon vitio" to qemu command when needed
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: add the new flag for detection
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Remove QEMU_CMD_FLAG_0_12 and just leave
the lone JSON flag
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Enable JSON on QEMU 0.13 or later, but
leave it disabled for now
Change -monitor, -serial and -parallel output to use -chardev if it is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Update qemudBuildCommandLine to use -chardev where
available.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add -chardev equivalents
for all current serial and parallel tests.
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.
Initial support for the new QEMU monitor protocol using JSON
as the data encoding format instead of plain text
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Hack to turn on QMP
mode. Replace with a version number check on >= 0.12 later
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Delegate to json monitor if enabled
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h: Add
impl of QMP protocol
* src/Makefile.am: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.{c,h}
Introduce a new type="dir" mode for <disks> that allows use of
QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver. eg
<disk type='dir' device='floppy'>
<source dir='/tmp/test'/>
<target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
gets turned into
-drive file=fat:floppy:/tmp/test,if=floppy,index=0
Only read-only disks are supported with virtual FAT mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add type="dir"
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Document new disk type
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Raise error for
unsupported disk types
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-cdrom-empty.args: Fix
empty disk file handling
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fat.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fat.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-floppy-drive-fat.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-floppy-drive-fat.xml
tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test QEMU vitual FAT driver
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Support generating fat:/some/dir type
disk args
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Temporarily skip labelling
of directory based disks
Recent qemu releases require command option '-enable-qemu' in order
for the kvm functionality be activated. Libvirt needs to pass this flag
to qemu when starting a domain. Note that without the option,
even if both the kernel and qemu support KVM, KVM will not be activated
and VMs will be very slow.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: parse the extra command
line option from help and add it when running kvm
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: this modified the flags output for qemu-0.10.5
and qemu-kvm-0.11.0-rc2 regression tests
* src/conf/domain_conf.h src/conf/domain_conf.c: add the new entry in
the enum and lists of virDomainDiskBus
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: same for virDomainDiskQEMUBus
allows the following to be specified in a domain:
<channel type='pipe'>
<source path='/tmp/guestfwd'/>
<target type='guestfwd' address='10.0.2.1' port='4600'/>
</channel>
* proxy/Makefile.am: add network.c as dep of domain_conf.c
* docs/schemas/domain.rng src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]: extend the domain
schemas and the parsing/serialization side for the new construct
QEmu support will add the following on the qemu command line:
-chardev pipe,id=channel0,path=/tmp/guestfwd
-net user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.1:4600-chardev:channel0
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add argument output for channel
* tests/qemuxml2(argv|xml)test.c: Add test for <channel> domain syntax
A character device's target (it's interface in the guest) had only a
single property: port. This patch is in preparation for adding targets
which require other properties.
Since this changes the conf type for character devices this affects
a number of drivers:
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch] src/esx/esx_vmx.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.c
src/qemu/qemu_driver.c src/uml/uml_conf.c src/uml/uml_driver.c
src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c src/xen/xend_internal.c src/xen/xm_internal.c:
target properties are moved into a union in virDomainChrDef, and a
targetType field is added to identify which union member should be
used. All current code which touches a virDomainChrDef is updated both
to use the new union field, and to populate targetType if necessary.
* src/qemu/qemu.conf src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: there is
a new config type option for mac filtering
* src/qemu/qemu_bridge_filter.[ch]: new module for the ebtable entry points
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: plug the MAC filtering at the right places
in the domain life cycle
* src/Makefile.am po/POTFILES.in: add the new module
- Don't duplicate SystemError
- Use proper error code in domain_conf
- Fix a broken error call in qemu_conf
- Don't use VIR_ERR_ERROR in security driver (isn't a valid code in this case)
Nearly all of the methods in src/util/util.h have error codes that
must be checked by the caller to correct detect & report failure.
Add ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK to ensure compile time validation of
this
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Add explicit check on return value of virAsprintf
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr return
value status & report error
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Add missing OOM check on virAsprintf
and report error
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr return
value status & report error
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Remove call to virRandomInitialize
that's done in libvirt.c already
* src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c: Add check & log on virRun
return status
* src/util/util.c: Add missing checks on virAsprintf/Run status
* src/util/util.h: Annotate all methods with ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
if they return an error status code
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr
* src/xen/xm_internal.c: Add missing checks on virAsprintf
* tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c: Remove bogus call to virRandomInitialize()
If the the qemu and kvm binaries are the same, we don't include machine
types in the kvm domain info.
However, the code which refreshes the machine types info from the
previous capabilities structure first looks at the kvm domain's info,
finds it matches and then copies the empty machine types list over
for the top-level qemu domain.
That doesn't make sense, we shouldn't copy an empty machin types list.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: qemudGetOldMachinesFromInfo(): don't copy an
empty machine types list.
When using VNC for graphics + keyboard + mouse, we shouldn't
then use the host OS for audio. Audio should go back over
VNC.
When using SDL for graphics, we should use the host OS for
audio since that's where the display is. We need to allow
certain QEMU env variables to be passed through to guest
too to allow choice of QEMU audio backend.
* qemud/libvirtd.sysconf: Mention QEMU/SDL audio env vars
* src/qemu_conf.c: Passthrough QEMU/SDL audio env for SDL display,
disable host audio for VNC display
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Remove prefix arg
from qemuBuildHostNetStr which is no longer required
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Refactor to use qemuMonitorAddHostNetwork()
API for adding host network
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h: Add new
qemuMonitorAddHostNetwork() method for adding host networks
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Remove separator from qemuBuildNicStr()
args, and remove hardcoded 'nic' prefix. Leave it upto callers
instead
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Switch over to using the new
qemuMonitorAddPCINetwork() method for NIC hotplug
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h: Add new
qemuMonitorAddPCINetwork API for PCI network device hotplug
Add the virStrncpy function, which takes a dst string, source string,
the number of bytes to copy and the number of bytes available in the
dest string. If the source string is too large to fit into the
destination string, including the \0 byte, then no data is copied and
the function returns NULL. Otherwise, this function copies n bytes
from source into dst, including the \0, and returns a pointer to the
dst string. This function is intended to replace all unsafe uses
of strncpy in the code base, since strncpy does *not* guarantee that
the buffer terminates with a \0.

Latest upstream QEMU can be built with Xen support, which introduces
a -xen-domid argument. This was mistakenly detected as -domid due
to old Xenner support. Adapt to cope with both syntax. Also only
set domid if the virt type is xen, or the guest type is xen
* src/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu_conf.h: Detect new -xen-domid flag in
preference to -domid.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-bootloader.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-input-xen.args: Add missing
-domid param
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-misc-uuid.args: Remove bogus
-boot param.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Add missing QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DOMID params
