qemuDomainAttachNetDevice
- re-ordered some things at start of function because
networkAllocateActualDevice should always be run and a slot
in def->nets always allocated, but host_net_add isn't needed
if the actual type is hostdev.
- if actual type is hostdev, defer to
qemuDomainAttachHostDevice (which will reach up to the NetDef
for things like MAC address when necessary). After return
from qemuDomainAttachHostDevice, slip directly to cleanup,
since the rest of the function is specific to emulated net
devices.
- put assignment of new NetDef into expanded def->nets down
below cleanup: (but only on success) since it is also needed
for emulated and hostdev net devices.
qemuDomainDetachHostDevice
- after locating the exact device to detach, check if it's a
network device and, if so, use toplevel
qemuDomainDetachNetDevice instead so that the def->nets list
is properly updated, and 'actual device' properly returned to
network pool if appropriate. Otherwise, for normal hostdevs,
call the lower level qemuDomainDetachThisDevice.
qemuDomainDetachNetDevice
- This is where it gets a bit tricky. After locating the device
on the def->nets list, if the network device type == hostdev,
call the *lower level* qemuDomainDetachThisDevice (which will
reach back up to the parent net device for MAC address /
virtualport when appropriate, then clear the device out of
def->hostdevs) before skipping past all the emulated
net-device-specific code to cleanup:, where the network
device is removed from def->nets, and the network device
object is freed.
In short, any time a hostdev-type network device is detached, we must
go through the toplevel virDomaineDetachNetDevice function first and
last, to make sure 1) the def->nnets list is properly managed, and 2)
any device allocated with networkAllocateActualDevice is properly
freed. At the same time, in the middle we need to go through the
lower-level vidDomainDetach*This*HostDevice to be sure that 1) the
def->hostdevs list is properly managed, 2) the PCI device is properly
detached from the guest and reattached to the host (if appropriate),
and 3) any higher level teardown is called at the appropriate time, by
reaching back up to the NetDef config (part (3) will be covered in a
separate patch).
This patch makes sure that each network device ("interface") of
type='hostdev' appears on both the hostdevs list and the nets list of
the virDomainDef, and it modifies the qemu driver startup code so that
these devices will be presented to qemu on the commandline as hostdevs
rather than as network devices.
It does not add support for hotplug of these type of devices, or code
to honor the <mac address> or <virtualport> given in the config (both
of those will be done in separate patches).
Once each device is placed on both lists, much of what this patch does
is modify places in the code that traverse all the device lists so
that these hybrid devices are only acted on once - either along with
the other hostdevs, or along with the other network interfaces. (In
many cases, only one of the lists is traversed / a specific operation
is performed on only one type of device. In those instances, the code
can remain unchanged.)
There is one special case - when building the commandline, interfaces
are allowed to proceed all the way through
networkAllocateActualDevice() before deciding to skip the rest of
netdev-specific processing - this is so that (once we have support for
networks with pools of hostdev devices) we can get the actual device
allocated, then rely on the loop processing all hostdevs to generate
the correct commandline.
(NB: <interface type='hostdev'> is only supported for PCI network
devices that are SR-IOV Virtual Functions (VF). Standard PCI[e] and
USB devices, and even the Physical Functions (PF) of SR-IOV devices
can only be assigned to a guest using the more basic <hostdev> device
entry. This limitation is mostly due to the fact that non-SR-IOV
ethernet devices tend to lose mac address configuration whenever the
card is reset, which happens when a card is assigned to a guest;
SR-IOV VFs fortunately don't suffer the same problem.)
This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:
<interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
</interface>
This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.
NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.
Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:
<interface type='hostdev'>
<source>
<address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
</interface>
If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:
<interface type='hostdev'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x0012'/>
<product id='0x24dd'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
</interface>
Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).
This refactoring is necessary to support hotplug detach of
type=hostdev network devices, but needs to be in a separate patch to
make potential debugging of regressions more practical.
Rather than the lowest level functions searching for a matching
device, the search is now done in the toplevel function, and an
intermediate-level function (qemuDomainDetachThisHostDevice()), which
expects that the device's entry is already found, is called (this
intermediate function will be called by qemuDomainDetachNetDevice() in
order to support detach of type=hostdev net devices)
This patch should result in 0 differences in functionality.
In order to allow for a virDomainHostdevDef that uses the
virDomainDeviceInfo of a "higher level" device (such as a
virDomainNetDef), this patch changes the virDomainDeviceInfo in the
HostdevDef into a virDomainDeviceInfoPtr. Rather than adding checks
all over the code to check for a null info, we just guarantee that it
is always valid. The new function virDomainHostdevDefAlloc() allocates
a virDomainDeviceInfo and plugs it in, and virDomainHostdevDefFree()
makes sure it is freed.
There were 4 places allocating virDomainHostdevDefs, all of them
parsers of one sort or another, and those have all had their
VIR_ALLOC(hostdev) changed to virDomainHostdevDefAlloc(). Other than
that, and the new functions, all the rest of the changes are just
mechanical removals of "&" or changing "." to "->".
There will be cases where the iterator callback will need to know the
type of the device whose info is being operated on, and possibly even
need to use some of the device's config. This patch adds a
virDomainDeviceDefPtr to the args of every callback, and fills it in
appropriately as the devices are iterated through.
The virDomainDeviceInfoPtrs in qemuCollectPCIAddress and
qemuComparePCIDevice are named "dev" and "dev1", but those functions
will be changed (in order to match a change in the args sent to
virDomainDeviceInfoIterate() callback args) to contain a
virDomainDeviceDefPtr device.
This patch renames "dev" to "info" (and "dev[n]" to "info[n]") to
avoid later confusion.

No matter what cache mode is used, readonly disks are always safe wrt

host-side cache, which makes them safe as well.
With an additional new bool added to determine whether or not to
discourage the use of the supplied MAC address by the bridge itself,
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort had three booleans (well, 2 bools and
an int used as a bool) in the arg list, which made it increasingly
difficult to follow what was going on. This patch combines those three
into a single flags arg, which not only shortens the arg list, but
makes it more self-documenting.
When a tap device for a domain is created and attached to a bridge,
the first byte of the tap device MAC address is set to 0xFE, while the
rest is set to match the MAC address that will be presented to the
guest as its network device MAC address. Setting this high value in
the tap's MAC address discourages the bridge from using the tap
device's MAC address as the bridge's own MAC address (Linux bridges
always take on the lowest numbered MAC address of all attached devices
as their own).
In one case within libvirt, a tap device is created and attached to
the bridge with the intent that its MAC address be taken on by the
bridge as its own (this is used to assure that the bridge has a fixed
MAC address to prevent network outages created by the bridge MAC
address "flapping" as guests are started and stopped). In this case,
the first byte of the mac address is *not* altered to 0xFE.
In the current code, callers to virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort each
make the MAC address modification themselves before calling, which
leads to code duplication, and also prevents lower level functions
from knowing the real MAC address being used by the guest. The problem
here is that openvswitch bridges must be informed about this MAC
address, or they will be unable to pass traffic to/from the guest.
This patch centralizes the location of the MAC address "0xFE fixup"
into virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), meaning 1) callers of this
function no longer need the extra strange bit of code, and 2)
bitNetDevTapCreateBridgeInPort itself now is called with the guest's
unaltered MAC address, and can pass it on, unmodified, to
virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort.
There is no other behavioral change created by this patch.
No thanks to 64-bit windows, with 64-bit pid_t, we have to avoid
constructs like 'int pid'. Our API in libvirt-qemu cannot be

out Windows (even if qemu could be compiled there) - so for all
points on the call chain that interact with this API decision,
we require a different variable name to make it clear that we

The error checking is still sparse, since libvirt must not use
qemu-img or header probing on a qcow2 file in use by qemu to
check if the backing file name is valid; so for now, libvirt is

Block job commands are not part of upstream qemu until 1.1; and
proper support of job completion and cancellation depends on being
able to receive QMP events, which implies the JSON monitor.
Additionally, some early versions of block job commands were
backported to RHEL qemu, but these versions lacked asynchronous
job cancellation and partial block pull, so there are several
patches that will still be needed in this area of libvirt code
to support both flavors of block job commands.
Due to earlier patches in libvirt, we are guaranteed that all versions
of qemu that support block job commands already require libvirt to
use the JSON monitor. That means that the text version of block jobs
will not be used, and having to refactor two copies of the block job
handlers makes no sense. So instead, we delete the text handlers.

In qemuDomainAttachNetDevice, the guest's tap interface has only been
attached to the bridge if iface_connected is true. It's possible for
an error to occur prior to that happening, and previously we would
attempt to remove the tap interface from the bridge even if it hadn't
been attached.
QMP commands don't need to be escaped since converting them to json
also escapes special characters. When a QMP command fails, however,
libvirt falls back to HMP commands. These fallback functions
(qemuMonitorText*) do their own escaping, and pass the result directly
to qemuMonitorHMPCommandWithFd. If the monitor is in json mode, these
pre-escaped commands will be escaped again when converted to json,
which can result in the wrong arguments being sent.
For example, a filename test\file would be sent in json as
test\\file.
This prevented attaching an image file with a " or \ in its name in
qemu 1.0.50, and also broke rbd attachment (which uses backslashes to
escape some internal arguments.)

This patch fixes console corruption, that happens if two concurrent
sessions are opened for a single console on a domain. Result of this
corruption was that each of the console streams recieved just a part
of the data written to the pipe so every console rendered unusable.
New helper function for safe console handling is used to establish the
console stream connection. This function ensures that no other libvirt
client is using the console (with the ability to disconnect consoles of
libvirt clients) and that no UUCP style lockfile is placed on the PTY
device.

as we are enabling it if possible. Moreover, this command is available
in qemu-1.1+ which definitely has JSON.
Function xmlParseURI does not remove square brackets around IPv6
address when parsing. One of the solutions is making wrappers around
functions working with xmlURI*. This assures that uri->server will be
always properly assigned and it doesn't have to be changed when used
on some new place in the code.
For this purpose, functions virParseURI and virSaveURI were
added. These function are wrappers around xmlParseURI and xmlSaveUri
respectively.
Also there is one new syntax check function to prohibit these functions
anywhere else.

It's possible to disable SPICE TLS in qemu.conf. When this happens,
libvirt ignores any SPICE TLS port or x509 directory that may have
been set when it builds the qemu command line to use. However, it's
not ignoring the secure channels that may have been set and adds
tls-channel arguments to qemu command line.
Current qemu versions don't report an error when this happens, and try to use
TLS for the specified channels.
Before this patch

After this patch, an error is reported if a TLS port is set in the XML
or if secure channels are specified but TLS is disabled in qemu.conf.
This is the behaviour the oVirt people (where I spotted this issue) said

When migrating a qemu domain, we enter the monitor, send some commands,
try to connect to destination qemu, send other commands, end exit the
monitor. However, if we couldn't connect to destination qemu we forgot
to exit the monitor.
Bug introduced by commit d9d518b1c8ef3b65658cc91f85ba33a63c0959a4.
In case libvirtd cannot detect host CPU model (which may happen if it
runs inside a virtual machine), the daemon is likely to segfault when
starting a new qemu domain. It segfaults when domain XML asks for host
(either model or passthrough) CPU or does not ask for any specific CPU
model at all.
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:

The current default method of terminating the qemu process is to send
a SIGTERM, wait for up to 1.6 seconds for it to cleanly shutdown, then
send a SIGKILL and wait for up to 1.4 seconds more for the process to
terminate. This is problematic because occasionally 1.6 seconds is not
long enough for the qemu process to flush its disk buffers, so the
guest's disk ends up in an inconsistent state.
Since this only occasionally happens when the timeout prior to SIGKILL
is 1.6 seconds, this patch increases that timeout to 10 seconds. At
the very least, this should reduce the occurrence from "occasionally"
to "extremely rarely". (Once SIGKILL is sent, it waits another 5
seconds for the process to die before returning).
Note that in the cases where it takes less than this for qemu to
shutdown cleanly, libvirt will *not* wait for any longer than it would
without this patch - qemuProcessKill polls the process and returns as
soon as it is gone.
This patch is based on an earlier patch by Eric Blake which was never
committed:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-November/msg00243.html
Aside from rebasing, this patch only drops the driver lock once (prior
to the first time the function sleeps), then leaves it dropped until
it returns (Eric's patch would drop and re-acquire the lock around
each call to sleep).
At the time Eric sent his patch, the response (from Dan Berrange) was
that, while it wasn't a good thing to be holding the driver lock while
sleeping, we really need to rethink locking wrt the driver object,
switching to a finer-grained approach that locks individual items
within the driver object separately to allow for greater concurrency.
This is a good plan, and at the time it made sense to not apply the
patch because there was no known bug related to the driver lock being
held in this function.
However, we now know that the length of the wait in qemuProcessKill is
sometimes too short to allow the qemu process to fully flush its disk
cache before SIGKILL is sent, so we need to lengthen the timeout (in
order to improve the situation with management applications until they
can be updated to use the new VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL flag added
in commit 72f8a7f19753506ed957b78ad800c0f3892c9304). But, if we
lengthen the timeout, we also lengthen the amount of time that all
other threads in libvirtd are essentially blocked from doing anything
(since just about everything needs to acquire the driver lock, if only
for long enough to get a pointer to a domain).
The solution is to modify qemuProcessKill to drop the driver lock
while sleeping, as proposed in Eric's patch. Then we can increase the
timeout with a clear conscience, and thus at least lower the chances
that someone running with existing management software will suffer the
consequence's of qemu's disk cache not being flushed.
In the meantime, we still should work on Dan's proposal to make
locking within the driver object more fine grained.
(NB: although I couldn't find any instance where qemuProcessKill() was
called with no jobs active for the domain (or some other guarantee
that the current thread had at least one refcount on the domain
object), this patch still follows Eric's method of temporarily adding
a ref prior to unlocking the domain object, because I couldn't
convince myself 100% that this was the case.)
In the future (my next patch in fact) we may want to make
decisions depending on qemu having a monitor command or not.
Therefore, we want to set qemuCaps flag instead of querying
on the monitor each time we are about to make that decision.
When blkdeviotune was first committed in 0.9.8, we had the limitation
that setting one value reset all others. But bytes and iops should
be relatively independent. Furthermore, setting tuning values on
a live domain followed by dumpxml did not output the new settings.

* tools/virsh.pod (blkdeviotune): Update documentation.
The auto-generated WWN comply with the new addressing schema of WWN:
<quote>
the first nibble is either hex 5 or 6 followed by a 3-byte vendor
identifier and 36 bits for a vendor-specified serial number.

We choose hex 5 for the first nibble. And for the 3-bytes vendor ID,
we uses the OUI according to underlying hypervisor type, (invoking
virConnectGetType to get the virt type). e.g. If virConnectGetType
returns "QEMU", we use Qumranet's OUI (00:1A:4A), if returns
ESX|VMWARE, we use VMWARE's OUI (00:05:69). Currently it only
supports qemu|xen|libxl|xenapi|hyperv|esx|vmware drivers. The last
36 bits are auto-generated.
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.
Fix tests to pass with this change.
virsh blkiotune dom --device-weights /dev/sda,400 --config
wasn't working correctly.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSetBlkioParameters): Use
correct definition.
