* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainAttachSCSIDisk): The ".controller"

We need to call PrepareHostdevs to determine the USB device path before

The nodeGetInfo code was always assuming that machine had a
single NUMA node, which is not correct. The good news is that
libnuma gives us this information pretty easily, so let's
properly report it.
NOTE: With recent hardware starting to support CPU hot-add
and hot-remove, both this code and the nodeCapsInitNUMA()
code are quickly going to become obsolete. We'll have to
think of a more dynamic solution for dealing with NUMA
nodes and CPUs that can come and go at will.

Currently if you dump the core of a qemu guest with
qemudDomainCoreDump, subsequent commands will hang
up libvirtd. This is because qemudDomainCoreDump
uses qemuDomainWaitForMigrationComplete, which expects
the qemuDriverLock to be held when it's called. This
patch does the simple thing and moves the qemuDriveUnlock
to the end of the qemudDomainCoreDump so that the driver
lock is held for the entirety of the call (as it is done
in qemudDomainSave). We will probably want to make the
lock more fine-grained than that in the future, but
we can fix both qemudDomainCoreDump and qemudDomainSave
at the same time.

The code to add job support into libvirtd caused a problem
in qemudDomainSetVcpus. In particular, a qemuDomainObjEndJob()
call was added at the end of the function, but a
corresponding qemuDomainObjBeginJob() was not. Additionally,
a call to qemuDomainObj{Enter,Exit}Monitor() was also missed
in qemudDomainHotplugVcpus(). These missing calls conspired to
cause a hang in the libvirtd process after the command was
finished. Fix this by adding the missing calls.

As previously discussed[1], this patch removes the
qemudDomainSetMaxMemory() function, since it doesn't
work. This means that instead of getting somewhat
cryptic errors, you will now get:
error: Unable to change MaxMemorySize
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainSetMaxMemory
Which describes the situation perfectly.

When using the JSON monitor, qemuMonitorJSONExtractCPUInfo
was returning 0 on success. Unfortunately, higher levels of
the cpuinfo code expect that it returns the number of CPUs
it found on success. This one-line patch fixes it so that
it returns the correct number. This makes "virsh vcpuinfo <domain>"

As pointed out by eblake, I made a real hash of the
nodeinfo code with commit
aa2f6f96dd. This patch
cleans it up:
1) Do more work at compile time instead of runtime (minor)
2) Properly handle the hex digits that come from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/thread_siblings
3) Fix up some error paths that could cause SEGV
4) Used unsigned's for the cpu numbers (cpu -1 doesn't
make any sense)
Along with the recent patch from jdenemar to zero out
the nodeinfo structure, I've re-tested this on the
machines having the problems, and it seems to be good.

It is a bad idea to call gettext on an already-translated
string. In cases where a string must be translated separately
from where it is exposed to xgettext, the gettext manual
recommends the idiom of N_() wrapping gettext_noop for
marking the string.
* src/internal.h (N_): Fix definition to match gettext manual.
* tools/virsh.c: (cmdHelp, cmdList, cmdDomstate, cmdDominfo)
(cmdVcpuinfo, vshUsage): Replace incorrect use of N_ with _.
(vshCmddefHelp): Likewise. Mark C format strings appropriately.
The nodeinfo structure wasn't initialized in qemu driver and with the
recent change in CPU topology parsing, old value of nodeinfo->sockets
could be used and incremented giving totally bogus results.

A few more non-literal format strings in error log messages have crept
in. Fix them in the standard way - turn the format string into "%s"
with the original string as the arg.
If a special cache strategy for a disk has been specified in a domain
definition, but no driverName has been set, virDomainGetXMLDesc would not
include the <driver> tag at all.

serialized if set.
The current code for "nodeinfo" is pretty naive
about socket and thread information. To determine the
sockets, it just takes the number of cpus and divides
by the number of cores. For the thread count, it always
sets it to 1. With more recent Intel machines, however,
hyperthreading is again an option, meaning that these
heuristics no longer work and give bogus numbers. This
patch goes through /sys to get the additional
information so we properly report it.
Note that I had to edit the tests not to report on
socket and thread counts, since these are determined
dynamically now.

When adding domainMemoryStats API support for the qemu driver, I didn't
follow the locking rules exactly. The job condition must be held when
executing monitor commands. This corrects the segfaults I was seeing
when calling domainMemoryStats in a multi-threaded environment.

doTunnelSendAll function (used by QEMU migration) uses a 64k buffer on
the stack, which could be problematic. This patch replaces that with a
buffer from the heap.
While in the neighborhood, this patch also improves error reporting in
the case that saferead fails - previously, virStreamAbort() was called
(resetting errno) before reporting the error. It's been changed to
report the error first.

Also verify that header.xml_len is positive; if it were negative,
passing it to virFileReadLimFD could cause trouble.

maxlen < -1. Return -1,EINVAL in that case. Handle maxlen==0
in the same manner.
* src/xen/proxy_internal.c (xenProxyDomainDumpXML): An invalid packet
could include a too-large "ans.len" value, which would make us allocate
too much memory and then copy data from beyond the end of "ans",
possibly evoking a segfault. Ensure that the value we use is no
larger than the remaining portion of "ans".
Also, change unnecessary memmove to memcpy (src and dest obviously
do not overlap, so no need to use memmove).

The code erroneously searched the entire "reply" for a comma, when
its intent was to search only that portion after "balloon: actual="

Search for "," only starting *after* the BALLOON_PREFIX string.
Otherwise, we'd be more prone to false positives.

commit 5073aa994a
Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>

Added support for product/vendor based passthrough, but it only
worked at the security driver layer. The main guest XML config
was not updated with the resolved bus/device ID. When the QEMU
argv refactoring removed use of product/vendor, this then broke
launching guests.
THe solution is to move the product/vendor resolution up a layer
into the QEMU driver. So the first thing QEMU does is resolve
the product/vendor to a bus/device and updates the XML config
with this info. The rest of the code, including security drivers
and QEMU argv generated can now rely on bus/device always being
set.
* src/util/hostusb.c, src/util/hostusb.h: Split vendor/product
resolution code out of usbGetDevice and into usbFindDevice.
Add accessors for bus/device ID
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c, src/security/security_selinux.c,
src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c: Remove vendor/product from the
usbGetDevice() calls
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Use usbFindDevice to resolve vendor/product
into a bus/device ID
The pci_del command is not being ported to QMP. Convert all the
QEMU hotplug code over to use device_del whenever it is available
to avoid the pci_del problem
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Convert unplug code to device_del
Previously hot-unplug could not be supported for USB devices
in QEMU, since usb_del required the guest visible address
which libvirt never knows. With 'device_del' command we can
now unplug based on device alias, so support that.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Use device_del to remove USB devices
Upstart crashes & burns in a heap if $TERM environment variable
is missing. Presumably the kernel always sets this when booting
init on a real machine, so libvirt should set it for containers
too.
To make a typical inittab / mingetty setup happier, we need to
symlink the primary console /dev/pts/0 to /dev/tty1.
Improve logging in certain scenarios to make troubleshooting
easier
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Create /dev/tty1 and set $TERM
When using the 'ns' cgroup controller, the moment a process calls
'unshare(CLONE_NEWNS)', it will be given a private cgroup tree
under its current location. This really messages up the LXC
controller process, because it ends up creating the containers'
cgroup in the wrong place. The fix is fairly easy, just move
the cgroup setup before the code which calls unshare(). The
'ns' controller will still create extra undesired cgroups, but
they at least won't break libvirt's setup now.
The patch also adds a missing cgroups allow rule for /dev/tty
device node
When getting the driver/domain cgroup it is possible to specify
whether it should be auto created. If auto-creation was turned
off, libvirt still mistakenly created its own top level cgroup
* src/util/cgroup.c: Honour autocreate flag for top level cgroup
This allows the config to have a setting that means "leave it alone",
eg when building a pool where the directory already exists the user
may want the current uid/gid of the directory left intact. This
actually gets us back to older behavior - before recent changes to the
pool building code, we weren't as insistent about honoring the uid/gid
settings in the XML, and virt-manager was taking advantage of this
behavior.
As a side benefit, removing calls to getuid/getgid from the XML
parsing functions also seems like a good idea. And having a default
that is different from a common/useful value (0 == root) is a good
thing in general, as it removes ambiguity from decisions (at least one
place in the code was checking for (perms.uid == 0) to see if a
special uid was requested).
Note that this will only affect newly created pools and volumes. Due
to the way that the XML is parsed, then formatted for newly created
volumes, all existing pools/volumes already have an explicit uid and
gid set.
src/conf/storage_conf.c: Remove calls to setuid/setgid for default values
of uid/gid, and set them to -1 instead
src/storage/storage_backend.c:
src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c:
Make account for the new default values of perms.uid
and perms.gid.
With the recent changes to the linking defaults in Fedora 13 (namely
enabling --no-add-needed behaviour by default), we have to pass the
dlopen()-providing libraries directly at the link of the module; use the
same AC_SEARCH_LIBS function as used before to look for it and add it to
the Makefile.
QEMU has a monitor command 'set_cpu' which allows a specific
CPU to be toggled between online& offline state. libvirt CPU
hotplug does not work in terms of individual indexes CPUs.
Thus to support this, we iteratively toggle the online state
when the total number of vCPUs is adjusted via libvirt
NB, currently untested since QEMU segvs when running this!
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Toggle online state for CPUs when
doing hotplug
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: Add
monitor API for toggling a CPU's online status via 'set_cpu
The storage backend implementations all presume that the XML parser
is validating correctness of the source specification. The check for
a source device was lost at some point. This allowed for a potential
crash in the disk backend. Re-introduce the sanity check
* src/conf/storage_conf.c: Re-add check for source device
When trying to delete a pool the error message claimed the volume
could not be deleted.
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Error message referred to
volumes instead of pools
The QMP code was running query-migration instead of query-migrate.
This doesn't work so well
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: s/query-migration/query-migrate/
The code to remove the cgroup after QEMU failed to startup could
be obscuring a real error from earlier on. It is not neccessary
to raise an error in this case, so tell cgroups to keep quiet
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Don't raise cgroups error in QEMU start
cleanup code.
The QEMU hotunplug code for PCI devices was looking at host
devices in the guest config without first filtering non
PCI devices. This means it was reading garbage
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Filter out non-PCI devices
Commit 3c12a67b76 added
a dependency on the NFS_SUPER_MAGIC macro, which is

can't change.

Move *all* file operations related to creation and writing of libvirt
header to the domain save file into a hook function that is called by
virFileOperation. First try to call virFileOperation as root. If that
fails with EACCESS, and (in the case of Linux) statfs says that we're
trying to save the file on an NFS share, rerun virFileOperation,
telling it to fork a child process and setuid to the qemu user. This
is the only way we can successfully create a file on a root-squashed
NFS server.
This patch (along with setting dynamic_ownership=0 in qemu.conf)
makes qemudDomainSave work on root-squashed NFS.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: provide new qemudDomainSaveFileOpHook()
utility, use it in qemudDomainSave() if normal creation of the
file as root failed, and after checking the filesystem type for
the storage is NFS. In that case we also bypass the security
driver, as this would fail on NFS.
If qemudDomainRestore fails to open the domain save file, create a
pipe, then fork a process that does setuid(qemu_user) and opens the
file, then reads this file and stuffs it into the pipe. the parent
libvirtd process will use the other end of the pipe as its fd, then
reap the child process after it's done reading.
This makes domain restore work on a root-squash NFS share that is only
visible to the qemu user.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add new qemudOpenAsUID() helper function,
and use it in qemudDomainRestore() if reading as root directly failed.
The USB/PCI device hotplug code for the QEMU driver was forgetting
to allocate a unique device alias.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fill in device alias for USB/PCI devices
The code assumed that 'device_add' returned an empty string upon
success. This is not true, it sometimes prints random debug info.
THus we need to check for an explicit fail string

monitor command
Another warning caught by coverity. Continue to perform best-effort
closing and resource release, but warn the caller about the failure.

Various safezero() implementations used either -1, errno or -errno

This supports cancellation of jobs for the QEMU driver against

Introduce support for virDomainGetJobInfo in the QEMU driver. This
allows for monitoring of any API that uses the 'info migrate' monitor
command. ie virDomainMigrate, virDomainSave and virDomainCoreDump
Unfortunately QEMU does not provide a way to monitor incoming migration
so we can't wire up virDomainRestore yet.
The virsh tool gets a new command 'domjobinfo' to query status

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: in qemudDomainAttachDevice(), one must not
delete the data part when the operation succeeds because it is
required later on. The correct pattern to handlethe parsed
representation of the device information on success
is dev->data.controller = NULL; virDomainDeviceDefFree(dev);,
which leaves the structure pointed at by data in memory.

* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-france.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-france.args: Data

This extends the XML to allow for
<clock offset='timezone' timezone='Europe/Paris'/>
This is useful if the admin has not configured any timezone on the
host OS, but still wants to synchronize a guest to a specific one.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c: Support extra
'timezone' attribute on clock configuration
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add 'timezone' attribute
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Reject configs
with a configurable timezone
This allows QEMU guests to be started with an arbitrary clock
offset
The test case can't actually be enabled, since QEMU argv expects
an absolute timestring, and this will obviously change every
time the test runs :-( Hopefully QEMU will allow a relative
time offset in the future.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Use the -rtc arg
if available to support variable clock offset mode
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Add QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_RTC for qemu 0.12.1
* qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-variable.args,
qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-variable.xml,
qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test case, except we can't actually enable
it yet.
This introduces a third option for clock offset synchronization,
that allows an arbitrary / variable adjustment to be set. In
essence the XML contains the time delta in seconds, relative to
UTC.
<clock offset='variable' adjustment='123465'/>
The difference from 'utc' mode, is that management apps should
track adjustments and preserve them at next reboot.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Schema for new clock mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Parse
new clock time delta
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/xml.c, src/util/xml.h: Add
virXPathLongLong() method
The XML will soon be extended to allow more than just a simple
localtime/utc boolean flag. This change replaces the plain
'int localtime' with a separate struct to prepare for future
extension
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add a new
virDomainClockDef structure
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainClockOffsetTypeToString
and virDomainClockOffsetTypeFromString
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c, src/xen/xend_internal.c,
src/xen/xm_internal.c: Updated to use new structure for localtime

Kind of minor, but it annoys me that the default auth callback
doesn't put a space between the prompt and the input, like a typical
terminal, ssh, etc. This patch changes the current prompt:
Please enter your authentication name:myuser
to
Please enter your authentication name: myuser
In bug 567931 we found that virt-top would exit occasionally
when the terminal window was resized. Tracking this down it
turned out that SIGWINCH was being delivered to the process at
exactly the point where the libvirt remote driver was calling
poll(2) waiting for a reply from libvirtd.
This caused the poll(2) call to be interrupted (returning errno
EINTR). However handling EINTR the same way as EAGAIN was not
the solution to this problem since we found previously that this
would break Ctrl-C handling (commit 47fec8eac2).
The correct solution is to mask out SIGWINCH for the duration
of the poll(2) system call. The per-thread mask is changed and
restored immediately after the call. Since we are using
pthread_sigmask, this should not affect other threads, and
since we restore the signal mask immediately afterwards it should
not affect the current thread visibly either. Other possibly
problematic signals are SIGCHLD and SIGPIPE and these are
masked too.
Note use of ignore_value: It's not fatal if we cannot mask out
SIGWINCH, and in any case pthread_sigmask never fails on Linux
as long as you supply the correct arguments.
I tested this patch and it cures the original problem with
virt-top.

We were using 'Y' to mean exabyte, when the correct abbreviation would be
'E' ('Y' is yettabyte, which is exabyte * 1024 * 1024). While it isn't
strictly backwards compatible, I highly doubt anyone was actually using
this broken behavior, so I don't see any harm in in dropping 'Y' handling.

NFS share. The result was that attempts to create a storage volume of
type "raw" on a root-squashed NFS share would fail.
This patch uses the newly introduced "hook" function in
virFileOperation to execute all those file operations in the child
process that's run under the uid that owns the file (and, presumably,
has permission to write to the NFS share)
* src/storage/storage_backend.c: use virFileOperation() in
virStorageBackendCreateRaw, turning virStorageBackendCreateRaw()
into a new createRawFileOpHook() hook
It turns out it is also useful to be able to perform other operations
on a file created while running as a different uid (eg, write things
to that file), and possibly to do this to a file that already
exists. This patch adds an optional hook function to the renamed (for
more accuracy of purpose) virFileOperation; the hook will be called
after the file has been opened (possibly created) and gid/mode
checked/set, before closing it.
As with the other operations on the file, if the VIR_FILE_OP_AS_UID
flag is set, this hook function will be called in the context of a
child process forked from the process that called virFileOperation.
The implication here is that, while all data in memory is available to
this hook function, any modification to that data will not be seen by
the caller - the only indication in memory of what happened in the
hook will be the return value (which the hook should set to 0 on
success, or one of the standard errno values on failure).
Another piece of making the function more flexible was to add an
"openflags" argument. This arg should contain exactly the flags to be
passed to open(2), eg O_RDWR | O_EXCL, etc.
In the process of adding the hook to virFileOperation, I also realized
that the bits to fix up file owner/group/mode settings after creation
were being done in the parent process, which could fail, so I moved
them to the child process where they should be.
* src/util/util.[ch]: rename and rework virFileCreate-->virFileOperation,
and redo flags in virDirCreate
* storage/storage_backend.c, storage/storage_backend_fs.c: update the
calls to virFileOperation/virDirCreate to reflect changes in the API,
but don't yet take advantage of the hook.
