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:
GEN ../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp
Traceback (most recent call last):

and fixing that exposed another case of a distributed file (generated
html) depending on a built file (libvirt.h), but only when doing an
in-tree build, because of a file glob.

This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).
Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.
The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='virbr0'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.
RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.
It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.
To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.
The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.
For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.
On the command line iptables supports ipset using
iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...
where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:
iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT
Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.
Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:
<rule action='accept' direction='in'>
<all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
</rule>
The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.
FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:
https://ipset.netfilter.org/ipset.man.html

Stefan

Ever since commit c964b6a, make was trying to find the timestamp
of '""./apibuild.py".stamp"', but only touching 'apibuild.py.stamp',
and thus always rebuilding. Reported by Daniel P. Berrange.
* docs/Makefile.am (APIBUILD, APIBUILD_STAMP): Omit bogus quotes.
Based on a report by Seth Vidal. Just because _you_ can use virsh
to connect to both source and destinations does not mean that libvirtd
on the source (aka _root_) can likewise connect to the destination;
this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a
native one.
* docs/migration.html.in: Mention that in peer-to-peer, the owner
of the source libvirtd (usually root) must be able to connect to
the destination.
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.
This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:
<numatune>
<memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.
If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".
The following XML can now fully drive numad:
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
<numatune>.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
</numatune>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
</numatume>
A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.
qemu's behavior in this case is to change the spice server behavior to
require secure connection to any channel not otherwise specified as
being in plaintext mode. libvirt doesn't currently allow requesting this
(via plaintext-channel=<channel name>).

In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror. Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front. This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
<mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
...
</disk>
For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing). The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase. If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

'omitted' was mispelt 'commited' twice. One of the sentences with
the typo was also missing an 'is' ('each VCPU *is* pinned to all...')

As explained in previous patch, numad will balance the affinity
dynamically, so reflecting the cpuset from numad at the first

We already list hvsupport.html.in in BUILT_SOURCES but this

adding deps to the 'all:' target instead of the 'all-am:'
target. BUILT_SOURCES is a dep of 'all', so any custom

they don't get run until BUILT_SOURCES are completely

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset

compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.

There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:
- Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
question
- Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
inside a guest
- It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
required to manage a specific hypervisor
This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus
- libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
- libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
- libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
- libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
- libvirt-docs: the website HTML
We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages
- libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
- libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
- libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
- libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon

My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include

then pull in each driver that they require.

so changing this default setting does not remove "out of the box"
functionality.

A few times libvirt users manually setting mac addresses have
complained of a networking failure that ends up being due to a multicast
mac address being used for a guest interface. This patch prevents that
by logging an error and failing if a multicast mac address is
encountered in each of the three following cases:
1) domain xml <interface> mac address.
2) network xml bridge mac address.
3) network xml dhcp/host mac address.
There are several other places where a mac address can be input that
aren't controlled in this manner because failure to do so has no
consequences (e.g., if the address will be used to search through
existing interfaces for a match).
The RNG has been updated to add multiMacAddr and uniMacAddr along with
the existing macAddr, and macAddr was switched to uniMacAddr where
appropriate.
If no <interface> elements are included in an LXC guest XML
description, then the LXC guest will just see the host's
network interfaces. It is desirable to be able to hide the
host interfaces, without having to define any guest interfaces.
This patch introduces a new feature flag <privnet/> to allow
forcing of a private network namespace for LXC. In the future
I also anticipate that we will add <privuser/> to force a
private user ID namespace.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add support
for <privnet/> feature. Auto-set <privnet> if any <interface>

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
If there is a disk file with a comma in the name, QEmu expects a double
comma instead of a single one (e.g., the file "virtual,disk.img" needs

The test domain allows <memory>0</memory>, but the RNG was stating

Disk manufacturers are fond of quoting sizes in powers of 10,
rather than powers of 2 (after all, 2.1 GB sounds larger than
2.0 GiB, even though the exact opposite is true). So, we might
as well follow coreutils' lead in supporting three types of
suffix: single letter ${u} (which we already had) and ${u}iB
for the power of 2, and ${u}B for power of 10.
Additionally, it is impossible to create a file with more than
2**63 bytes, since off_t is signed (if you have enough storage
to even create one 8EiB file, I'm jealous). This now reports
failure up front rather than down the road when the kernel
finally refuses an impossible size.

Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"
followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.
Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

The code supported unit='E' for "exabyte", but the RNG did not;
conversely, the RNG supported "z" and "y" but the code did not
(I'm jealous if you have that much storage, particularly since
it won't fit in 64-bit off_t). Also, the code supported
<allocation unit='...'>, but not the RNG.
In an effort to make 'unit' more worthwhile in future patches,
it's easier to share it between files.
In making this factorization, note that absFilePath is more
permissive than 'path', so storage pools and storage volumes
will now validate with a wider set of file names than before.
I don't think this should be a problem in practice.

Yes, I like kilobytes better than kibibytes (when I say kilobytes,
I generally mean 1024). But since the term is ambiguous, it can't
hurt to say what we mean, by using both the correct name and
calling out the numeric equivalent.

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).

Remove suggestion that people file bugs against RHEL 5 and add a
suggestion that people increase the visibility of their bugs by
mentioning them on libvir-list.
Language bindings may well want to use the libvirt-api.xml and
libvirt-qemu-api.xml files to either auto-generate themselves,
or sanity check the manually written bindings for completeness.
Currently these XML files are not installed as standard, merely
ending up as a %doc file in the RPM.
This changes them to be installed into $prefix/share/libvirt/apis/
The *-refs.xml files are not installed, since those are only
useful during generation of the online API doc files.
The pkg-config file is enhanced so that you can query the install
location of the API files. eg

Someone mentioned to me that they interpreted this section of the KVM

creating a qemu commandline and converting it to XML with

domxml-from-native, so I added that clarification.
Commit b170eb99 introduced a bug: domains that had an explicit

libvirtd restarted. It turns out that our testsuite was not
exercising this because it never tried anything but inactive

to re-validate. Applying just the tests/ portion of this patch
will expose the bugs that are fixed by the other two files.

Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.
With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.
This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement

Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase. That is, given:
base <- intermediate <- current
virDomainBlockPull will produce:
current
but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:
base <- current
Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags. But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:
Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.
Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.

The original doc entry for rawio didn't mention the values it could
have, the default, or the fact that setting it to "yes" for one disk
effectively set it to "yes" for all disks in the domain.
This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element
of domain XML. Valid values of "rawio" attribute are "yes"
and "no".
rawio='yes' indicates the disk is desirous of CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
If you specify the following XML:
<disk type='block' device='lun' rawio='yes'>
...
</disk>
the domain will be granted CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
(of course, the domain have to be executed with root privilege)
NOTE:
- "rawio" attribute is only valid when device='lun'
- At the moment, any other disks you won't use rawio can use rawio.

This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562
Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).
One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.
In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:
<hostdev>
...
<rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
...
</hostdev
(similarly for <interface>).
When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.
After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).
Add kvmclock timer to documentation, schema and parsers. Keep the
platform timer first since it is kind of special, and alphabetize

on the driver or hypervisor. The only invalid character is a newline.
It's better to group all the metadata together. This is a

Applications can now insert custom nodes and hierarchies into domain

There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed

<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and

This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>

The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
We support <interface> of type "mcast", "server", and "client",
but the RNG schema for them are missed. Attribute "address" is
optional for "server" type. And these 3 types support
<mac address='MAC'/>, too.
Though <alias> is ignored when defining a domain, it can cause
failure if one validates (e.g. virt-xml-validate) the XML dumped
from a running domain. This patch expose it in domain RNG schema
for all the devices which support it.
The "unit" attribute of a drive address is optional in the code, so should
also be in the XML schema.

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
This patch adds documentation about the new 'ways' that users can
access the contents of variables in filters:
- access via index: $TEST[2]
- access via iterators $TEST[@1]
This patch introduces the capability to use a different iterator per
variable.
The currently supported notation of variables in a filtering rule like
<rule action='accept' direction='out'>
<tcp srcipaddr='$A' srcportstart='$B'/>
</rule>
processes the two lists 'A' and 'B' in parallel. This means that A and B
must have the same number of 'N' elements and that 'N' rules will be
instantiated (assuming all tuples from A and B are unique).
In this patch we now introduce the assignment of variables to different
iterators. Therefore a rule like
<rule action='accept' direction='out'>
<tcp srcipaddr='$A[@1]' srcportstart='$B[@2]'/>
</rule>
will now create every combination of elements in A with elements in B since
A has been assigned to an iterator with Id '1' and B has been assigned to an
iterator with Id '2', thus processing their value independently.
The first rule has an equivalent notation of
<rule action='accept' direction='out'>
<tcp srcipaddr='$A[@0]' srcportstart='$B[@0]'/>
</rule>
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
add one new test that will test scsi=on.

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.
Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
Hi,
this is the fifth version of my SRV record for DNSMasq patch rebased
for the current codebase to the bridge driver and libvirt XML file to
include support for the SRV records in the DNS. The syntax is based on
DNSMasq man page and tests for both xml2xml and xml2argv were added as
well. There are some things written a better way in comparison with
version 4, mainly there's no hack in tests/networkxml2argvtest.c and
also the xPath context is changed to use a simpler query using the
virXPathInt() function relative to the current node.
Also, the patch is also fixing the networkxml2argv test to pass both
checks, i.e. both unit tests and also syntax check.

When doing security relabeling, there are cases where a per-file
override might be appropriate. For example, with a static label
and relabeling, it might be appropriate to skip relabeling on a
particular disk, where the backing file lives on NFS that lacks
the ability to track labeling. Or with dynamic labeling, it might
be appropriate to use a custom (non-dynamic) label for a disk
specifically intended to be shared across domains.
The new XML resembles the top-level <seclabel>, but with fewer
options (basically relabel='no', or <label>text</label>):
<domain ...>
...
<devices>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/path/to/image1'>
<seclabel relabel='no'/> <!-- override for just this disk -->
</source>
...
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/path/to/image1'>
<seclabel relabel='yes'> <!-- override for just this disk -->
<label>system_u:object_r:shared_content_t:s0</label>
</seclabel>
</source>
...
</disk>
...
</devices>
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'>
<baselabel>text</baselabel> <!-- used for all devices without override -->
</seclabel>
</domain>
This patch only introduces the XML and documentation; future patches
will actually parse and make use of it. The intent is that we can
further extend things as needed, adding a per-device <seclabel> in
more places (such as the source of a console device), and possibly
allowing a <baselabel> instead of <label> for labeling where we want
to reuse the cNNN,cNNN pair of a dynamically labeled domain but a
different base label.

* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-seclabel-dynamic-override.xml:
New test, to validate RNG.
The RNG for <seclabel> was too strict - if it was present, then it
had to have sub-elements, even if those didn't make sense for the
given attributes. Also, we didn't have any tests of <seclabel>
parsing or XML output.
In this patch, I added more parsing tests than output tests (since
the output populates and/or reorders fields not present in certain
inputs). Making the RNG reliable is a precursor to using <seclabel>
variants in more places in the XML in later patches.

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.

This patch adds several aspects of documentation about the network filtering
system:
- chains, chains' priorities and chains' default priorities
- talks about lists of elements, i.e., a variable assigned multiple values
(part of already ACK-ed series)
- already mentions the vlan, stp and mac chains added later on
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01238.html)
- mentions limitations of vlan filtering (when sent by VM) on Linux systems
This patch enables chains that have a known prefix in their name.
Known prefixes are: 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'arp', 'rarp'. All prefixes
are also protocols that can be evaluated on the ebtables level.
Following the prefix they will be automatically connected to an interface's
'root' chain and jumped into following the protocol they evaluate, i.e.,
a table 'arp-xyz' will be accessed from the root table using
ebtables -t nat -A <iface root table> -p arp -j I-<ifname>-arp-xyz
thus generating a 'root' chain like this one here:
Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp-xyz
-j DROP
where the chain 'arp-xyz' is accessed for filtering of ARP packets.

This patch extends the filter XML to support priorities of chains
in the XML. An example would be:

By setting the priority of a chain the order in which it is accessed
from the interface root chain can be influenced.

Allow the datacenter and compute resource parts of the path
to be prefixed with folders. Therefore, the way the path is
parsed has changed. Before, it was split in 2 or 3 items and
the items' meanings were determined by their positions. Now
the path can have 2 or more items and the the vCenter server
is asked whether a folder, datacenter of compute resource
with the specified name exists at the current hierarchy level.
Before the datacenter and compute resource lookup automatically
traversed folders during lookup. This is logic got removed
and folders have to be specified explicitly.
The proper datacenter path including folders is now used when
accessing a datastore over HTTPS. This makes virsh dumpxml
and define work for datacenters in folders.

A few people have attempted to use the new forwarding modes with older
versions of libvirt. The docs where the modes are described have
always stated the minimum required libvirt version, but the examples

Similarly, the section on portgroups now has a version tag added at
the beginning.
I also noticed that there was no example of defining a <dns> hostname,
so I added one, as well as making the domain name example more
recognizable (by adding ".com" to the domain).

Previously libvirt's disk device XML only had a single attribute,
error_policy, to control both read and write error policy, but qemu
has separate options for controlling read and write. In one case
(enospc) a policy is allowed for write errors but not read errors.
This patch adds a separate attribute that sets only the read error
policy. If just error_policy is set, it will apply to both read and
write error policy (previous behavior), but if the new rerror_policy
attribute is set, it will override error_policy for read errors only.
Possible values for rerror_policy are "stop", "report", and "ignore"
("report" is the qemu-controlled default for rerror_policy when
error_policy isn't specified).
For consistency, the value "report" has been added to the possible
values for error_policy as well.
When booting a virtual machine with a kernel/initrd it is possible
to pass command line arguments using the <cmdline>...args...</cmdline>
element in the guest XML. These appear to the kernel / init process
in /proc/cmdline.
When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline,
but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally
we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a
regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve
libvirt parsing the <cmdline> XML text. This can easily be added
later, even if we add the env variable now
* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document env variables passed to LXC
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add <cmdline> to be parsed for
guests of type='exe'
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Set LIBVIRT_LXC_CMDLINE env var
When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174
and the discussion before and after
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html
This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.
With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.
A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).

Coupled with the recent virsh nodedev-* doc patch, this should now

This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
is supported.
* Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.
A new element is introduced to XML that allows to control
state of virtual network interfaces in hypervisors.
Live modification of the link state allows networking tools
propagate topology changes to guest OS or testing of
scenarios in complex (virtual) networks.
This patch adds elements to XML grammars and parsing and generating
code.
It is important to be able to attach USB redirected devices to a
particular controller (one that supports USB2 for instance).

I got confused when 'virsh domblkinfo dom disk' required the
path to a disk (which can be ambiguous, since a single file
can back multiple disks), rather than the unambiguous target
device name that I was using in disk snapshots. So, in true

interfaces that operate on a disk (aka block) now accept
either the target name or the unambiguous path to the backing
file used by the disk.

should be the state of domain.rng pre-patch, with a few lines
tweaked in the header, while domain.rng post-patch is now just
a shell that includes domaincommon.rng and sets the <start>.

Just like VM saved state images (virsh save), snapshots MUST
track the inactive domain xml to detect any ABI incompatibilities.
The indentation is not perfect, but functionality comes before form.
Later patches will actually supply a full domain; for now, this
wires up the storage to support one, but doesn't ever generate one
in dumpxml output.
Happily, libvirt.c was already rejecting use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE
from read-only connections, even though before this patch, there was
no information to be secured by the use of that flag.
And while we're at it, mark the libvirt snapshot metadata files
as internal-use only.

Based on a patch by Philipp Hahn.
The first two flags are essential for being able to replicate
snapshot hierarchies across multiple hosts, which will come in
handy for supervised migrations. It also allows a management app
to take a snapshot of a transient domain, save the metadata, stop
the domain, recreate a new transient domain by the same name,
redefine the snapshot, then revert to it.
This is not quite as convenient as leaving the metadata behind
after a domain is no longer around, but doing that has a few
problems: 1. the libvirt API can only delete snapshot metadata
if there is a valid domain handle to use to get to that snapshot
object - if stale data is left behind without a domain, there is
no way to request that the data be cleaned up. 2. creating a new
domain with the same name but different uuid than the older
domain where a snapshot existed cannot use the older snapshot
data; this risks confusing libvirt, and forbidding the stale
data is similar to the recent patch to forbid stale managed save.
The first two flags might be useful on hypervisors with no metadata,
but only for modifying the notion of the current snapshot;
however, I don't know how to do that for ESX or VBox.
The third flag is a convenience option, to combine a creation with
a delete metadata into one step. It is trivial for hypervisors
with no metadata.
The qemu changes will be involved enough to warrant a separate patch.

In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).
As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).

Someone in an IRC channel or an email pointed out a few days ago that
the examples of IPv6 addresses in the libvirt documentation were not
in the officially reserved "documentation" range. This addresses their
concern.
This should have been done with the rest of the patch for virtual
switch / network device abstraction. If documents the new elements
(and new usage of existing elements) in the <network> XML to support
libvirt networks that use existing host bridges and macvtap direct
connections, as well as the new <portgroup> element.
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: updates for new
release
* po/*.po*: pulled translations from the transifex teams and regenerated
localizations
I went with the shorter license notice used by src/libvirt.c,
rather than spelling out the full LGPLv2+ clause into each of
these files.
* configure.ac: Declare copyright.
* all Makefile.am: Likewise.
Once it's plugged in, the <listen> element will be an optional
replacement for the "listen" attribute that graphics elements already
have. If the <listen> element is type='address', it will have an
attribute called 'address' which will contain an IP address or dns
name that the guest's display server should listen on. If, however,
type='network', the <listen> element should have an attribute called
'network' that will be set to the name of a network configuration to
get the IP address from.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated to allow the <listen> element
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the <listen> element and its
attributes.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[hc]:
1) The domain parser, formatter, and data structure are modified to
support 0 or more <listen> subelements to each <graphics>
element. The old style "legacy" listen attribute is also still
accepted, and will be stored internally just as if it were a
separate <listen> element. On output (i.e. format), the address
attribute of the first <listen> element of type 'address' will be
duplicated in the legacy "listen" attribute of the <graphic>
element.
2) The "listenAddr" attribute has been removed from the unions in
virDomainGRaphicsDef for graphics types vnc, rdp, and spice.
This attribute is now in the <listen> subelement (aka
virDomainGraphicsListenDef)
3) Helper functions were written to provide simple access
(both Get and Set) to the listen elements and their attributes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the listen helper functions
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c,
src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,
src/vmx/vmx.c, src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c, src/xenxs/xen_xm.c
Modify all these files to use the listen helper functions rather
than directly referencing the (now missing) listenAddr
attribute. There can be multiple <listen> elements to a single
<graphics>, but the drivers all currently only support one, so all
replacements of direct access with a helper function indicate index
"0".
* tests/* - only 3 of these are new files added explicitly to test the
new <listen> element. All the others have been modified to reflect
the fact that any legacy "listen" attributes passed in to the domain
parse will be saved in a <listen> element (i.e. one of the
virDomainGraphicsListenDefs), and during the domain format function,
both the <listen> element as well as the legacy attributes will be
output.
Every DomainNetDef has a bandwidth, as does every portgroup.
Whenever a DomainNetDef of type NETWORK is about to be used, a call is
made to networkAllocateActualDevice(). This function chooses the "best"
bandwidth object and places it in the DomainActualNetDef.
From that point on, whenever some code needs to use the bandwidth data
for the interface, it's retrieved with virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(),
which will always return the "best" info as determined in the
previous step.
We had a bit too many elements crammed in there. Separate it into different
headings:
- CPU Allocation (<vcpus>)
- CPU Tuning (<cputune>)
- Memory allocation (<memory> and <currentMemory>)
- Memory backing (<memoryBacking>)
- Memory tuning (<memtune>)
- Numa tuning (<numatune>)
- Block I/O tuning (<blkiotune>)
Define new 'bandwidth' element with possible child element 'inbound'
and 'outbound' addressing incoming and outgoing traffic respectively:
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
<outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>
Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.
The units for average and peak (rate) are in kilobytes per second,
for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.
Set up the types for the block pull functions and insert them into the
virDriver structure definition. Symbols are exported in this patch to

The network XML is updated in the following ways:
1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:
<forward .... >
<interface dev='eth10'/>
<interface dev='eth11'/>
<interface dev='eth12'/>
<interface dev='eth13'/>
</forward>
The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
both on input, they must match.
2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
are supported:
private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:
<interface type='direct'>
<source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
...
</interface>
where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
selected from the list given in <forward>.
bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
...
</interface>
3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
"portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
interface.
4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
portgroups on the network.
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:
1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')
2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.
3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.
The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).

The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies. The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example. People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies. This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead. It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them. Finally, it adds a line about networking support.

Kernel cmdline args can be passed to xen pv domains even when a

Since the xend sub-driver is used with many xen toolstack versions,
this patch takes conservative approach of adding an else block to
existing !def->os.bootloader, and only appends sxpr if def->os.cmdline
is non-NULL.

For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
From a security pov copy and paste between the guest and the client is not
always desirable. So we need to be able to enable/disable this. The best place
to do this from an administration pov is on the hypervisor, so the qemu cmdline
is getting a spice disable-copy-paste option, see bug 693645. Example qemu
invocation:
qemu -spice port=5932,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste

A lock manager may operate in various modes. The direct mode of
operation is to obtain locks based on the resources associated
with devices in the XML. The indirect mode is where the app
creating the domain provides explicit leases for each resource
that needs to be locked. This XML extension allows for listing
resources in the XML
<devices>
...
<lease>
<lockspace>somearea</lockspace>
<key>thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog</key>
<target path='/some/lease/path' offset='23432'/>
</lease>
...
</devices>
The 'lockspace' is a unique identifier for the lockspace which
the lease is associated
The 'key' is a unique identifier for the resource associated
with the lease.
The 'target' is the file on disk where the leases are held.

I noticed this while building from libvirt.git on RHEL 5.6:
Generating internals/command.html.tmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `/internals': Permission denied
If I had been building as root instead, this pollutes /.
Older autoconf lacks $(builddir), but it is rigorously equal to '.'
in newer autoconf, so we could use '$(MKDIR_P) internals' instead.
However, since internals/command.html is part of the tarball, we
_already_ build it in $(srcdir), not $(builddir) during VPATH
builds, so the mkdir is wasted effort!

Migration just seems to go from bad to worse. We already had to
introduce a second migration protocol when adding the QEMU driver,
since the one from Xen was insufficiently flexible to cope with
passing the data the QEMU driver required.
It turns out that this protocol still has some flaws that we
need to address. The current sequence is
* Src: DumpXML
- Generate XML to pass to dst
* Dst: Prepare
- Get ready to accept incoming VM
- Generate optional cookie to pass to src
* Src: Perform
- Start migration and wait for send completion
- Kill off VM if successful, resume if failed
* Dst: Finish
- Wait for recv completion and check status
- Kill off VM if unsuccessful
The problems with this are:
- Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
add in other migration specific data. eg, we can't include
any VM lease data from lock manager plugins
- Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
emit any 'migration begin' event on the source, or have
any hook that runs right at the start of the process
- Since there is no final step on the source, if the Finish
method fails to receive all migration data & has to kill
the VM, then there's no way to resume the original VM
on the source
This patch attempts to introduce a version 3 that uses the
improved 5 step sequence
* Src: Begin
- Generate XML to pass to dst
- Generate optional cookie to pass to dst
* Dst: Prepare
- Get ready to accept incoming VM
- Generate optional cookie to pass to src
* Src: Perform
- Start migration and wait for send completion
- Generate optional cookie to pass to dst
* Dst: Finish
- Wait for recv completion and check status
- Kill off VM if failed, resume if success
- Generate optional cookie to pass to src
* Src: Confirm
- Kill off VM if success, resume if failed
The API is designed to allow both input and output cookies
in all methods where applicable. This lets us pass around
arbitrary extra driver specific data between src & dst during
migration. Combined with the extra 'Begin' method this lets
us pass lease information from source to dst at the start of
migration
Moving the killing of the source VM out of Perform and
into Confirm, means we can now recover if the dst host
can't successfully Finish receiving migration data.

It was just pointed out that, although I added documentation for the
IPv6 additions to the network XML, I neglected to use those additions
in the examples. This patch adds an IPv6 address to each of the
examples except for the "default" network, since that is a faithful
reproduction of the default network config that's automatically
installed, which doesn't include any IPv6 address (for good reason -
because there is no such thing as IPv6 NAT, there is no one IPv6
address that would work for all installations).
Commit 78ba748ef1 claims to fix

The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.
Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.
The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.
Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

Some things to note in this patch:
- we do extend libvirt scope beyond purely managing domains, there is
already a number of blocks which are here as helpr functions to
manage the resources on the host.
- we are expanding in the direction of libvirt being sufficient to do
most of the management on the Host (but within the limits of the need
for virtualization, e.g. managing users on the host is out of scope)
- we don't require anymore APIs to be supported by multiple
hypervisors to get in, it's already the case in practice, but we
should still make sure the semantic of those APIs are clear. We
added quite a bit for QEmu, but for example I saw on IRC that VBox
could emulate a network unplug/replug on a domain interface, and
that would be a good addition even if a priori no other hypervisor
supports it.
- Make clear that all libvirt APIs are available remotely, which is
key to use libvirt for building management tools.
- link the goal page from the project main page
As for libvirt project directions, I think it just reflects the natural
evolution in the last couple of years. We are less hypervisor agnostic
and extending in the Host management. Clearly there is interest in
making sure libvirt is complete in term of features for the hypervisors
supported, especially the ones like KVM or LXC which don't really have
integrated management library.

The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.
Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.
Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away

The Relax-NG schema for domains regarding <hostdev> doesn't match what's
implemented in src/conf/domain_conf.c#virDomainHostdevDefFormat(): The
implementation only requires @type, but the schema currently either
required none or all three attributes (@mode, @type, and @managed) to be
defined together, because they are declared in the same
<optional)-section. (@managed is currently even undocumented on
<http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsUSB>).
Thus the following minimal <hostdev>-example fails to validate:
<domain type='test'>
<name>N</name>
<memory>4096</memory>
<bootloader>/bin/false</bootloader>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
</os>
<devices>
<hostdev type='pci'>
<source>
<address bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
</devices>
</domain>
The schema is changed to match the current implementation:
1. @mode is optional (which defaults to 'subsystem')
2. @type is required
3. @managed is optional (which defaults to 'no')
The documentation is updated to mention @managed.

XSLT allows for two ways of generating the output of transformation.
Either implicit, which xsltproc prints to stdout and can be redirected
to a file using -o file. Or explicit, which means the stylesheet
contains <xsl:document> element which specifies where the output should
be saved. This can be used for generating more files by a single run of
xsltproc and -o directory/ can change the directory where the output
files will be stored.
devhelp.xsl is special in that it combines both options in one
stylesheet, which doesn't work well with -o:
xsltproc --nonet -o ./devhelp/ ./devhelp/devhelp.xsl ./libvirt-api.xml
Outputs 4 *.html files into ./devhelp but then tries to write to
./devhelp/ as a file (hence the I/O error) rather than writing output to
the fifth file devhelp/libvirt.devhelp.
This patch modifies devhelp.xsl so that all files are generated using
<xsl:document> element and -o directory/ can be used to override output
directory where those files are saved.
This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported.
I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.

The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".
The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).
Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.
I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.
Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.

In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models

QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>
This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').
Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.

Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.
This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.

In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).
Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.
The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.
<interface type='network'>
...
<tune>
<sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
...

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.
This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:
<interface type="network">
<model type="virtio"/>
<driver name="vhost"/>
will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.
If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.

At this point everything is already in place to make IPv6 happen, we just
need to add a few rules, remove some checks for IPv4-only, and document

This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the

to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu

* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
* there can now be more than one <ip> element.
* ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
* new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
* new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
(will default to ipv4)
* define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
(including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
correctly parsed and formatted.
In practice this has always been optional, but the RNG has shown it as
mandatory, and since all the examples for make check had it, it was
never noticed. One of the existing test cases has been changed to
check for this.
I also noticed that the dhcp/host/ip was still defined as <text/>,
but should really be <ref name='ipv4-addr'/>
formatnetwork.html has a menu item at level 3. libvirt.css
doesn't have a explicit rule for level 3 and level 3 and
level 2 items end up at the same indentation level.
Add an additional 1em indentation to level 3 menu items.
The xml watchdog dump option is converted to qemu watchdog pause arg
but it is not reasonable to convert it back from qemu watchdog pause
arg since there already is a xml watchdog pause option, so a test for
the dump option to convert it from arg to xml is not added.
Changes common to all network disks:
-Make source name optional in the domain schema, since NBD doesn't use it
-Add a hostName type to the domain schema, and use it instead of genericName, which doesn't include .
-Don't leak host names or ports
-Set the source protocol in qemuParseCommandline

This patch adds network disk support to libvirt/QEMU. The currently
supported protocols are nbd, rbd, and sheepdog. The XML syntax is like
this:
<disk type="network" device="disk">
<driver name="qemu" type="raw" />
<source protocol='rbd|sheepdog|nbd' name="...some image identifier...">
<host name="mon1.example.org" port="6000">
<host name="mon2.example.org" port="6000">
<host name="mon3.example.org" port="6000">
</source>
<target dev="vda" bus="virtio" />
</disk>

Guarantee that outbuf/errbuf are allocated on success, even if to the
empty string. Caller always has to free the result, and empty output
check requires checking if *outbuf=='\0'. Makes the API easier to use
safely. Failure is best effort allocation (some paths, like
out-of-memory, cannot allocate a buffer, but most do), so caller must
free buffer on failure.
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Update documentation.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandSetOutputBuffer)
(virCommandSetErrorBuffer, virCommandProcessIO) Guarantee empty
string on no output.
* tests/commandtest.c (test17): New test.
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Better documentation of buffer
vs. fd considerations.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRunAsync): Reject raw execution
with string io.
(virCommandRun): Reject execution with user-specified fds not
visiting a regular file.
The XML docs describe a 'port' attribute for the
storage source <host> element, but the parser never
handled it.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: Define port attribute
* src/conf/storage_conf.c: Add missing parsing/formatting
of host port number
* src/conf/storage_conf.h: Remove bogus/unused 'protocol' field
Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().
Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()< 0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()< 0.
I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.
IP addresses and MAC addresses had been defined in the RNG simply as
<text/> meaning that, according to the RNG, any string could go in
there. Of course the C parsing code does a much better job of
validating, but we may as well have this describing the contents
accurately (even though it's currently only used during "make check").
All the other RNG files in libvirt are enclosed within <grammar>. This
commit makes the syntactical changes necessary to make network.rng fit
that pattern. (This is the first step in adding some data type
definitions to network.rng for more exact validation of IP and MAC
addresses).
Formatting changes (indentation) will be done in a subsequent commit,
so that actual changes to the code won't be obscured by whitespace.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Fix merge error which left SPICE channel
elements under VNC schema.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Add SPICE flag to kvm-83 test
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-graphics-spice.xml: Add
<memballoon> element
This extends the SPICE XML to allow channel security options
<graphics type='spice' port='-1' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'>
<channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
<channel name='record' mode='insecure'/>
</graphics>
Any non-specified channel uses the default, which allows both
secure & insecure usage
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add XML syntax for specifying per
channel security options for spice.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Configure channel security with spice
This extends the XML syntax for <graphics> to allow a password
expiry time to be set
eg
<graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us' passwd='12345' passwdValidTo='2010-04-09T15:51:00'/>
The timestamp is in UTC.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Pull passwd out into separate struct
virDomainGraphicsAuthDef to allow sharing between VNC & SPICE
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add parsing/formatting of new passwdValidTo
argument
* src/opennebula/one_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c,
src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Update for changed
struct containing VNC password
This adds an element
<graphics type='spice' port='5903' tlsPort='5904' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/>
This is the bare minimum that should be exposed in the guest
config for SPICE. Other parameters are better handled as per
host level configuration tunables
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Define the SPICE <graphics> schema
* src/domain_conf.h, src/domain_conf.c: Add parsing and formatting
for SPICE graphics config
* src/qemu_conf.c: Complain about unsupported graphics types
* src/qemu_conf.c: Add dummy entry in enumeration
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add 'qxl' as a type for the <video> tag
* src/domain_conf.c, src/domain_conf.h: Add QXL to video type
enumerations
the element has a mode attribute allowing only 3 values:
- emulate: use the smbios emulation from the hypervisor
- host: try to use the smbios values from the node
- sysinfo: grab the values from the <sysinfo> fields
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: extend the schemas
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the flag to the domain config
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: parse and serialize the smbios if present
Reordered the bindings into alphabetical order, added a link to
the php-libvirt source on Github, plus gave the direct package
names needed for Python usage on RHEL/Fedora, and Ubuntu.
The default location for the XML catalog file, /etc/xml/catalog,
used when validating the generated html docs, isn't correct for
MacOS X.
This commit adds an option to the configure script, allowing the
default to be overridden:
--with-xml-catalog-file=/path/to/xml/catalog/file
Previously, only the API docs were installed, rather than the
complete documentation set. This commit ensures the complete
documentation set is installed.
Syntax agreed on in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-September/msg00476.html
<domain ...>
<vcpu current='x'>y</vcpu>
...
can now be used to specify 1 <= x <= y current vcpus, in relation
to the boot-time max of y vcpus. If current is omitted, then
current and max are assumed to be the same value.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add new attribute.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smp.xml: Add to
domainschematest.
* tests/xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-pv-vcpus.xml: Likewise.
Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.
There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.
I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Add memtune element details, added min_guarantee
* src/libvirt.c: Update virDomainGetMemoryParameters api description, make
it more clear that the user first needs to call the api to get the number
of parameters supported and then call again to get the values.
* tools/virsh.pod: Add usage of new command memtune in virsh manpage
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623903 documents a qemu
bug that causes libvirt to hang if virt-manager happens to be
querying balloon info when a guest is paused. Until the qemu bug
is fixed, people need to know how to avoid the issue.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Memory balloon device): Mention
model='none'.
This introduces new attribute to filesystem element
to support customizable access mode for mount type.
Valid accessmode are: passthrough, mapped and squash.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
passthrough is the default model if not specified, that's
also the current behaviour.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: some of the function type description
were broken so they could not be automatically documented
* src/util/event.c docs/apibuild.py: event.c exports one public API
so it needs to be scanned too, avoid a few warnings
To enable the CPU XML from the capabilities to be pasted directly
into the guest XML with no editing, pick a sensible default for
match and feature policy. The CPU match will be exact and the
feature policy will be require. This should ensure safety for
migration and give DWIM semantics for users
* src/conf/cpu_conf.c: Default to exact match and require policy
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document new defaults
This adds a script to generate the todo item page from
bugzilla. This requires a valid username+password for
bugzilla, so it is intended that this only be run on
the libvirt.org website via cron. Normal usage will just
generate an empty stub page.
* docs/todo.pl: Script to extract todo items from bugzilla
* docs/todo.cfg-example: Example config file
* docs/sitemap.html.in: Add todo page
* docs/Makefile.am: Generation rules for todo items
This patch adds another example to the nwfilter html page and provides 2 solutions for how to write a filter meeting the given requirements using newly added features.
Since version 4.1 ESX(i) can expose virtual serial devices over TCP.
Add support in the VMX handling code for this, add test cases to cover
it and add links to some documentation.
ESX supports two additional protocols: TELNETS and TLS. Add them to
the list of serial-over-TCP protocols.
The <vcpu cpuset=...> attribute has been available since commit
e193b5dd, but without documentation or RNG validation.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng (vcpu): Further validate cpuset.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Fix typos.
Prior to this patch, the ChangeLog generation was hard coded to use
"awk", when it should have been using the AWK variable set by our
build system.
This breaks compilation on a newly installed OS X system, where the
default path has the Mac (non GNU) awk in the default search PATH
before any installed GNU awk (gawk).
Tweaked the PolicyKit documentation improvement patch submitted
by Patrick Dignan.
Additionally, removed the reference to PolicyKit.conf, which is
no longer used by PolicyKit, plus added a link to the expanded
PolicyKit example page on the wiki.
Added a workable initial page for the libvirt Application
Development Guide, giving the online viewable options +
the available download ones (pdf, epub, srpm).
Added a link to the PDF to the main Downloads page, plus
neatened the html tags throughout the page as they
were a bit of a mess.
Added --enable-compile-warnings=error to the autogen line,
as suggested by Eric Blake.
Xen supports on_crash actions coredump-{destroy,restart}. libvirt
cannot parse config returned by xend that contains either of these
actions
xen52 # xm li -l test | grep on_crash
(on_crash coredump-restart)
xen52 # virsh dumpxml test
error: internal error unknown lifecycle type coredump-restart
This patch adds a new virDomainLifecycleCrash enum and appends
the new options to existing destroy, restart, preserve, and
rename-restart options.
I wrote a patch to add support for listing the Vendor and Model of a
storage pool in the storage pool XML. This would allow vendor
extensions of specific devices. The patch includes a test for the new
attributes as well.

Add documentation for features added a while ago.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Time keeping): Update documentation
of <clock> element to match 0.8.0 addition.
The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
<memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,
i.e. don't pass the args to qemu/kvm
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.
Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.
esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.
Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.
All <console> devices now export a <target> type attribute. QEMU defaults
to 'serial', UML defaults to 'uml, xen can be either 'serial' or 'xen'
depending on fullvirt. Understandably there is lots of test fallout.
This will be used to differentiate between a serial vs. virtio console for
QEMU.

Add a new element to the <os> block:
<bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>
Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.
I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.
Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.
Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.
Thanks to DV for knocking together the Relax-NG changes
quickly for me.
Changes since v1:
- Change the domain.rng to correspond to the new schema
- Don't allocate caps->ns in testQemuCapsInit since it is a static table
Changes since v2:
- Change domain.rng to add restrictions on allowed environment names
Changes since v3:
- Remove a bogus comment in the tests

To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device
<memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>
It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.
The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing
and formatting for memballoon device. Always add a memory
balloon device to Xen/QEMU if none exists in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export memballoon model APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Honour the
PCI device address in memory balloon device
* tests/*: Update to test new functionality
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
