This controller provides a single PCIe port on a new root. It is
similar to pci-expander-bus, intended to provide a bus that can be
associated with a guest-identifiable NUMA node, but is for
machinetypes with PCIe rather than PCI (e.g. q35-based machinetypes).
Aside from PCIe vs. PCI, the other main difference is that a
pci-expander-bus has a companion pci-bridge that is automatically
attached along with it, but pcie-expander-bus has only a single port,
and that port will only connect to a pcie-root-port, or to a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. In order for the bus to be of any use in
the guest, it must have either a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-upstream-port attached (and one or more
pcie-switch-downstream-ports attached to the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).
This is a standard PCI root bus (not a bridge) that can be added to a
440fx-based domain. Although it uses a PCI slot, this is *not* how it
is connected into the PCI bus hierarchy, but is only used for
control. Each pci-expander-bus provides 32 slots (0-31) that can
accept hotplug of standard PCI devices.
The usefulness of pci-expander-bus relative to a pci-bridge is that
the NUMA node of the bus can be specified with the <node> subelement
of <target>. This gives guest-side visibility to the NUMA node of
attached devices (presuming that management apps only assign a device
to a bus that has a NUMA node number matching the node number of the
device on the host).
Each pci-expander-bus also has a "busNr" attribute. The expander-bus
itself will take the busNr specified, and all buses that are connected
to this bus (including the pci-bridge that is automatically added to
any expander bus of model "pxb" (see the next commit)) will use
busNr+1, busNr+2, etc, and the pci-root (or the expander-bus with next
lower busNr) will use bus numbers lower than busNr.
This cleanups the documentation, reformat some of the paragraphs to use
<p> instead of </br> and rewrites the listen part to be more extendable.

In order to follow recent comments which indicate support for specific
feature bits are supported by a specific QEMU version add the version
from whence the relaxed, vapic, and spinlocks support was added.
This patch adds support for "vpindex", "runtime", "synic",
"stimer", and "vendor_id" features available in qemu 2.5+.
- When Hyper-V "vpindex" is on, guest can use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX
to get virtual processor ID.
- Hyper-V "runtime" enlightement feature allows to use MSR
HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME to get the time the virtual processor consumes
running guest code, as well as the time the hypervisor spends running
code on behalf of that guest.
- Hyper-V "synic" stands for Synthetic Interrupt Controller, which is
lapic extension controlled via MSRs.
- Hyper-V "stimer" switches on Hyper-V SynIC timers MSR's support.
Guest can setup and use fired by host events (SynIC interrupt and
appropriate timer expiration message) as guest clock events
- Hyper-V "reset" allows guest to reset VM.
- Hyper-V "vendor_id" exposes hypervisor vendor id to guest.

Most hypervisors use Hardware Assisted Paging by default and don't
require specifying the feature in domain conf. But some hypervisors
support disabling HAP on a per-domain basis. To enable HAP by default
yet provide a knob to disable it, extend the <hap> feature with a
'state=on|off' attribute, similar to <pvspinlock> and <vmport> features.
In the absence of <hap>, the hypervisor default (on) is used. <hap>
without the state attribute would be the same as <hap state='on'/> for
backwards compatibility. And of course <hap state='off'/> disables hap.

This attribute is used to extend secondary PCI bar and expose it to the
guest as 64bit memory. It works like this: attribute vram is there to
set size of secondary PCI bar and guest sees it as 32bit memory,
attribute vram64 can extend this secondary PCI bar. If both attributes
are used, guest sees two memory bars, both address the same memory, with
the difference that the 32bit bar can address only the first part of the

If no port number was provided for a storage pool libvirt defaults to

In the future Ceph will switch to a new port for the Ceph monitors since
port 6789 is already assigned to a different application by IANA.
Port 6789 is assigned to SMC-HTTPS and Ceph now has port 3300 assigned as
the 'Ceph monitor' port.
In this case it is the best solution to not hardcode any port number into
libvirt and let librados handle the connection.

'model' attribute was added to a panic device but only one panic
device is allowed. This patch changes panic device presence
from 'optional' to 'zeroOrMore'.
Libvirt already has two types of panic devices - pvpanic and pSeries firmware.
This patch introduces the 'model' attribute and a new type of panic device.
'isa' model is for ISA pvpanic device.
'pseries' model is a default value for pSeries guests.
'hyperv' model is the new type. It's used for Hyper-V crash.
Schema and docs are updated for the new attribute.
Adjust the config code so that it does not enforce that target memory
node is specified. To avoid breakage, adjust the qemu memory hotplug

This controller can be connected only to a port on a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. It provides a single hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device, as well as any device requiring a
pcie-*-port (the only current example of such a device is the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).
This controller can be connected only to a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-downstream-port (which will be added in a later patch),
which is the reason for the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_PORT. A pcie-switch-upstream-port provides
32 ports (slot=0 to slot=31) on the downstream side, which can only
have pci controllers of model "pcie-switch-downstream-port" plugged
into them, which is the reason for the other new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_SWITCH.
This controller can be connected (at domain startup time only - not
hotpluggable) only to a port on the pcie root complex ("pcie-root" in
libvirt config), hence the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_ROOT. It provides a hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device.
New attributes must be added to the controller <target> subelement for
this - chassis and port are guest-visible option values that will be
set by libvirt with values derived from the controller's index and pci
address information.
There are some configuration options to some types of pci controllers
that are currently automatically derived from other parts of the
controller's configuration. For example, in qemu a pci-bridge
controller has an option that is called "chassis_nr"; up until now
libvirt has always set chassis_nr to the index of the pci-bridge. So
this:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'/>
will always result in:
-device pci-bridge,chassis_nr=2,...
on the qemu commandline. In the future we may decide there is a better
way to derive that option, but even in that case we will need for
existing domains to retain the same chassis_nr they were using in the
past - that is something that is visible to the guest so it is part of
the guest ABI and changing it would lead to problems for migrating
guests (or just guests with very picky OSes).
The <target> subelement has been added as a place to put the new
"chassisNr" attribute that will be filled in by libvirt when it
auto-generates the chassisNr; it will be saved in the config, then
reused any time the domain is started:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'>
<model type='pci-bridge'/>
<target chassisNr='2'/>
</controller>
The one oddity of all this is that if the controller configuration
is changed (for example to change the index or the pci address
where the controller is plugged in), the items in <target> will
*not* be re-generated, which might lead to conflict. I can't
really see any way around this, but fortunately if there is a
material conflict qemu will let us know and we will pass that on
to the user.
This new subelement is used in PCI controllers: the toplevel
*attribute* "model" of a controller denotes what kind of PCI
controller is being described, e.g. a "dmi-to-pci-bridge",
"pci-bridge", or "pci-root". But in the future there will be different
implementations of some of those types of PCI controllers, which
behave similarly from libvirt's point of view (and so should have the
same model), but use a different device in qemu (and present
themselves as a different piece of hardware in the guest). In an ideal
world we (i.e. "I") would have thought of that back when the pci
controllers were added, and used some sort of type/class/model
notation (where class was used in the way we are now using model, and
model was used for the actual manufacturer's model number of a
particular family of PCI controller), but that opportunity is long
past, so as an alternative, this patch allows selecting a particular
implementation of a pci controller with the "name" attribute of the
<model> subelement, e.g.:
<controller type='pci' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge' index='1'>
<model name='i82801b11-bridge'/>
</controller>
In this case, "dmi-to-pci-bridge" is the kind of controller (one that
has a single PCIe port upstream, and 32 standard PCI ports downstream,
which are not hotpluggable), and the qemu device to be used to
implement this kind of controller is named "i82801b11-bridge".
Implementing the above now will allow us in the future to add a new
kind of dmi-to-pci-bridge that doesn't use qemu's i82801b11-bridge
device, but instead uses something else (which doesn't yet exist, but
qemu people have been discussing it), all without breaking existing
configs.
(note that for the existing "pci-bridge" type of PCI controller, both
the model attribute and <model> name are 'pci-bridge'. This is just a
coincidence, since it turns out that in this case the device name in
qemu really is a generic 'pci-bridge' rather than being the name of
some real-world chip)
"Further" clarification (and testing) shows that using a SCSI Fibre
Channel NPIV device/lun from a storage pool as a <disk type='volume'
device'lun'> will work. So just add that to the allowable options

Also move the mention of version numbers for the various PCI
controller models up to the end of the sentence where they are first
given, to avoid confusion.
When support for the pcie-root and dmi-to-pci-bridge buses on a Q35
machinetype was added, I was concerned that even though qemu at the
time allowed plugging a PCI device into a PCIe port, that it might not
be supported in the future. To prevent painful backtracking in the
possible future where this happened, I disallowed such connections
except in a few specific cases requested by qemu developers (indicated
in the code with the flag VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG).
Now that a couple years have passed, there is a clear message from
qemu that there is no danger in allowing PCI devices to be plugged
into PCIe ports. This patch eliminates
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG and changes the code to always
allow PCI->PCIe or PCIe->PCI connection *when the PCI address is
specified in the config. (For newly added devices that haven't yet
been given a PCI address, the auto-placement still prefers using the
correct type of bus).

The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long. Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits. Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

A new feature that can be turned on or off.
The QEMU machine vmport option allows to set the VMWare IO port
emulation. This emulation is useful for absolute pointer input when the
guest has vmware input drivers, and is enabled by default for kvm.
However it is unnecessary for Spice-enabled VM, since the agent already
handles absolute pointer and multi-monitors. Furthermore, it prevents
Spice from switching to relative input since the regular ps/2 pointer
driver is replaced by the vmware driver. It is thus advised to disable
vmport when using a Spice VM. This will permit the Spice client to
switch from absolute to relative pointer, as it may be required for
certain games or applications.
With iothreadid's allowing any 'id' value for an iothread_id, the
iothreadsched code needs a slight adjustment to allow for "any"
unsigned int value in order to create the bitmap of ids that will
have scheduler adjustments. Adjusted the doc description as well.
Remove the iothreadspin array from cputune and replace with a cpumask
to be stored in the iothreadids list.
Adjust the test output because our printing goes in order of the iothreadids
list now.
Adding a new XML element 'iothreadids' in order to allow defining
specific IOThread ID's rather than relying on the algorithm to assign
IOThread ID's starting at 1 and incrementing to iothreads count.
This will allow future patches to be able to add new IOThreads by
a specific iothread_id and of course delete any exisiting IOThread.
Each iothreadids element will have 'n' <iothread> children elements
which will have attribute "id". The "id" will allow for definition
of any "valid" (eg > 0) iothread_id value.
On input, if any <iothreadids> <iothread>'s are provided, they will
be marked so that we only print out what we read in.
On input, if no <iothreadids> are provided, the PostParse code will
self generate a list of ID's starting at 1 and going to the number
of iothreads defined for the domain (just like the current algorithm
numbering scheme). A future patch will rework the existing algorithm
to make use of the iothreadids list.
On output, only print out the <iothreadids> if they were read in.

To avoid possible confusion and misuse of the new element this patch

Midonet is an opensource virtual networking that over lays the IP
network between hypervisors. Currently, such networks can be made
with the openvswitch virtualport type.
This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve
as basis for the follow up patches that will add support to libvirt
for using Midonet virtual ports for its interfaces. The schema
definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the
patch too.

We're parsing memballoon status period as unsigned int, but when we're
trying to set it, both we and qemu use signed int. That means large
values will get wrapped around to negative one resulting in error.
Basically the same problem as commit e3a7b874 was dealing with when
updating live domain.
QEMU changed the accepted value to int64 in commit 1f9296b5, but even
values as INT_MAX don't make sense since the value passed means seconds.
Hence adding capability flag for this change isn't worth it.

The version attribute in redirdev filters refers to the revision
of the device, not the version of the USB protocol.
Explicitly state that this is not the USB protocol and remove references
to those round version numbers that resemble USB protocol versions.

There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user. Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED. Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.
Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong. The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.

Our documentation isn't 100% clear about hostdev 'managed' attribute usage,
because it only makes sense to use it with PCI devices, yet we format
this attribute to all hostdev devices. By adding a note into the docs,
we can possibly avoid confusion from customer's side and also avoid a solution
using ternary logic.

At least Xen supports backend drivers in another domain (aka "driver
domain"). This patch introduces an XML config option for specifying the
backend domain name for <disk> and <interface> devices. E.g.
<disk>
<backenddomain name='diskvm'/>
...
</disk>
<interface type='bridge'>
<backenddomain name='netvm'/>
...
</interface>
In the future, same option will be needed for USB devices (hostdev
objects), but for now libxl doesn't have support for PVUSB.

It is only usable for NETWORK and BRIDGE type interfaces.
Error out when trying to start a domain where the custom
tap device path is specified for interfaces of other types,
or when the daemon is not privileged.
Note that this cannot be checked at definition time, because

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:
<vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
gets translated into this one:
<vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

Ploop is a pseudo device which makeit possible to access
to an image in a file as a block device. Like loop devices,
but with additional features, like snapshots, write tracker
and without double-caching.
It used in PCS for containers and in OpenVZ. You can manage
ploop devices and images with ploop utility
(http://git.openvz.org/?p=ploop).
