This API can be used to check if the socket associated with
virConnectPtr is still open or it was closed (probably because keepalive
protocol timed out). If there the connection is local (i.e., no socket
is associated with the connection, it is trivially always alive.
virConnectSetKeepAlive public API can be used by a client connecting to
remote server to start using keepalive protocol. The API is handled
directly by remote driver and not transmitted over the wire to the
server.
The keepalive program has two procedures: PING, and PONG.
Both are used only in asynchronous messages and the sender doesn't wait
for any reply. However, the party which receives PING messages is
supposed to react by sending PONG message the other party, but no
explicit binding between PING and PONG messages is made. For backward
compatibility neither server nor client are allowed to send keepalive
messages before checking that remote party supports them.
When virNetClientIOEventLoop is called for a non-blocking call and not
even a single byte can be sent from this call without blocking, we
properly reported that to the caller which properly frees the call. But
we never removed the call from a call queue.
If something fails while initializing qemu job object in
qemuDomainObjPrivateAlloc(), memory to the private pointer is freed, but
after that, the pointer is still dereferenced, which may result in a
segfault.
* qemuDomainObjPrivateAlloc() - Don't dereference NULL pointer.
Generally, functions which return malloc'd strings should be typed
as 'char *', not 'const char *', to make it obvious that the caller
is responsible to free things. free(const char *) fails to compile,
and although we have a cast embedded in VIR_FREE to work around poor
code that frees const char *, it's better to not rely on that hack.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDiskPathToAlias): Change return type.
(qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Update caller.
Given that we can now handle the target's disk shorthand, in addition
to an absolute path to the file or block device used on the host,
the term 'disk' fits a bit better as the parameter name than 'path'.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Update some parameter names.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainBlockStats, virDomainBlockStatsFlags)
(virDomainBlockPeek, virDomainGetBlockInfo, virDomainBlockJobAbort)
(virDomainGetBlockJobInfo, virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed)
(virDomainBlockPull): Likewise.
Commit 89b6284f made it possible to pass either a source name or
the target device to most API demanding a disk designation, but
forgot to update the documentation. It also failed to update
virDomainBlockStats to take both forms. This patch fixes both the
documentation and the remaining function.
Xen continues to use just device shorthand (that is, I did not
implement path lookup there, since xen does not track a domain_conf
to quickly tie a path back to the device shorthand).
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainBlockStats, virDomainBlockStatsFlags)
(virDomainGetBlockInfo, virDomainBlockPeek)
(virDomainBlockJobAbort, virDomainGetBlockJobInfo)
(virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed, virDomainBlockPull): Document
acceptable disk naming conventions.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockStats)
(qemuDomainBlockStatsFlags): Allow lookup by source name.
* src/test/test_driver.c (testDomainBlockStats): Likewise.
The WITH_VIRTUALPORT macro is defined to 0 when disabled, not
left undefined. So #if must be used instead of #ifdef
* src/util/virnetdevvportprofile.c: s/#ifdef/#if/
Up to now users have to give a full XML description on input when
device-detaching. If they omitted something it lead to unclear
error messages (like generated MAC wasn't found, etc.).
With this patch users can specify only those information which
specify one device sufficiently precise. Remaining information is
completed from domain.
In preparation of DHCP Snooping and the detection of multiple IP
addresses per interface:
The hash table that is used to collect the detected IP address of an
interface can so far only handle one IP address per interface. With
this patch we extend this to allow it to handle a list of IP addresses.
Above changes the returned variable type of virNWFilterGetIpAddrForIfname()
from char * to virNWFilterVarValuePtr; adapt all existing functions calling
this function.

When configuring a URI alias like this in 'libvirt.conf':
uri_aliases = [
"jj#j=qemu+ssh://root@127.0.0.1/system",
"sleet=qemu+ssh://root@sleet.cloud.example.com/system",
]
virsh -c jj#j
It will show this error message:
'no connection driver available for No connection for URI jj#j'
Actually，we expect this message below：
Malformed 'uri_aliases' config entry 'jj#j=qemu+ssh://root@127.0.0.1/system', aliases may only contain 'a-Z, 0-9, _, -'
Give this patch to fix this error.

virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol() could not remove the lv with error
"could not remove open logical volume" sometimes. Generally it's caused
by the volume is still active, even if lvremove tries to remove it with
option "--force".
This patch is to fix it by disbale the lv first using "lvchange -aln"
and "lvremove -f" afterwards if the direct "lvremove -f" failed.
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
None of the callers cared if str was updated to point to the next
byte after the parsed cpuset; simplifying this results in quite
a few code simplifications. Additionally, virCPUDefParseXML was
strdup()'ing a malloc()'d string; avoiding a memory copy resulted
in less code.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainCpuSetParse): Alter signature.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainCpuSetParse): Don't modify str.
(virDomainVcpuPinDefParseXML, virDomainDefParseXML): Adjust

For direct attach devices, in qemuBuildCommandLine, we seem to be freeing
actual device on error path (with networkReleaseActualDevice). But the actual
device is not deleted.
qemuProcessStop eventually deletes the direct attach device and releases
actual device. But by the time qemuProcessStop is called qemuBuildCommandLine
has already freed actual device, leaving stray macvtap devices behind on error.
So the simplest fix is to remove the networkReleaseActualDevice in
qemuBuildCommandLine. This patch does just that.

Now, when we support multiple consoles per domain,
the vm->def->console[0] can still remain an alias

lvs outputs "[$lvname_vorigin]" for the virtual snapshot lv
(created with "--virtualsize"), and the original device pointed
by "$lvname_vorigin" is just for lvm internal use, one should
never use it.
Per lvm's nameing rules, "[" is not valid as part of the vg/lv name.
(man 8 lvm).
<quote>
VALID NAMES
The following characters are valid for VG and LV names: a-z A-Z 0-9 + _
. -
VG and LV names cannot begin with a hyphen. There are also various
reserved names that are used internally by lvm that can not be used as
LV or VG names. A VG cannot be called anything that exists in /dev/ at
the time of creation, nor can it be called '.' or '..'. A LV cannot be
called '.' '..' 'snapshot' or 'pvmove'. The LV name may also not con‐
tain the strings '_mlog' or '_mimage'
</quote>
So we can skip the set the lv's backingStore by checking if the name
begins with a "[".

Xen4.1 initializes some unspecified sexpr config items to an empty
string, unlike previous Xen versions that would leave the item unset.
E.g. the kernel item for an HVM guest (non-direct kernel boot):
Xen4.0 and earlier
...
(image
(hvm
(kernel )
...
Xen4.1
...
(image
(hvm
(kernel '')
...
The empty string for kernel causes some grief in subsequent parsing
where existence of specified kernel is checked, e.g.
if (!def->os.kernel)
...
This patch solves the problem in sexpr_node_copy() by not copying
a node containing an empty string.
I installed the xen development packages on my non-Xen F16 machine
in order to compile-test xen code and ensure we don't break things
on that front, but being a non-xen machine, /usr/sbin/xend is
obviously not running. Unfortunately, xen-4.1.2-1.fc16 has a bug
where merely trying to probe xend status on a non-xen kernel causes
xend to issue an ABRT crash report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728696
Even though libvirt (correctly) skips the test, the xend crash report
is unnecessary noise. Fix this by first filtering out non-xen
kernels even before attempting to probe xend. The test still runs
and passes on a RHEL 5 xen kernel after this patch.
* tests/reconnect.c (mymain): Skip xend probe on non-xen kernel.
* tests/statstest.c (mymain): Likewise.
This prepares for subsequent patches which introduce dependence
on cgroup cpuset. Enable cgroup cpuset by default so users don't
have to modify configuration file before encountering a cpuset
error.
