Commit 4445e16bfa changed the signature
of esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter by replacing the esxPrivate
pointer with virConnectPtr. The esxPrivate pointer was then retrieved
again from virConnectPtr's privateData. This resulted in a NULL pointer
dereference, because the privateData pointer was not yet initialized at
the point where esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter are called.
This was fixed in commit b126715a48 that
moved the initialization of privateData before the problematic calls.
Simplify the logic by making the call to esxFreePrivate unconditional and
changing esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter back to take a esxPrivate
pointer directly. This allows to assign esxPrivate to the virConnectPtr's
privateData pointer as one of the last steps in esxOpen making it more
obvious that it is not initialized during the earlier steps of esxOpen.
Commit 6094ad7b (0.9.3 release) promoted several functions from
internal to public, but forgot to fix the documentation generator
to provide details about those functions.
For an example of what this fixes, look at:
file:///path/to/libvirt/docs/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virEventAddHandle

CVE-2013-0242 in glibc's regex() can cause a DoS in any daemon
that runs a regex search on user input while in a multibyte locale.
I'm not sure how hard it would be to trigger such a setup for
libvirtd, but rather than risk things, we can avoid the issue:
gnulib has worked around the problem, and by updating to the latest
gnulib, we can avoid the bug even on platforms where glibc has yet
to be patched.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for various fixes, including regex.
* bootstrap: Resync from upstream.
In commit 3ac26e2645 parameter "path" was
renamed to "disk" but this change was not reflected in the documentation.
Additionally, documentation of the "opaque" parameter was missing.
Add support for QEMU -add-fd command line parameter detection.
This intentionally rejects qemu 1.2, where 'add-fd' QMP did
not allow full control of set ids, and where there was no command
line counterpart, but accepts qemu 1.3.

Add entry points for calling the qemu 'add-fd' and 'remove-fd'
monitor commands. There is no entry point for 'query-fdsets';
the assumption is that a developer can use
virsh qemu-monitor-command domain '{"execute":"query-fdsets"}'
when debugging issues, and that meanwhile, libvirt is responsible
enough to remember what fds it associated with what fdsets.
Likewise, on the 'add-fd' command, it is assumed that libvirt
will always pass a set id, rather than letting qemu autogenerate
the next available id number.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorAddFd, qemuMonitorRemoveFd):
New functions.

While testing QMP, I used a simple qemu session of
'qemu-kvm -M none -nodefaults -nographic -qmp stdio'
for some experiments. But it took me far too long to remember
the magic invocation to unlock QMP into accepting normal commands.
While I was able to grep libvirt sources and easily find where
libvirt expects the normal "QMP" greeting, I could not find the
proper reply to that greeting nearby.
Reading the testsuite didn't help either, since there we don't
emulate the mandatory handshake. But since my grep hit the
testsuite, adding a bit of documentation will make it much easier
to jog my memory in the future.
* tests/qemumonitortestutils.c (QEMU_JSON_GREETING): Mention that
the normal counterpart reply is skipped.
The macro was made to help installing broken packages that did not use
DESTDIR correctly by overriding individual path variables (prefix,
sysconfdir, ...). Newer rpm provides fixed make_install macro that calls
make install with just the correct DESTDIR, however it is not available
everywhere (e.g., RHEL 5 does not have it). On the other hand the
make_install macro is simple and straightforward enough for us to use
its expansion directly.
Without these two string changes in generator.py, the
virGetLastError wrapper does not get created in
/usr/share/pyshared/libvirt.py. Noticed when running
tests with virt-install.

Way back when I started making changes for Coverity messages my first set
were to a bunch of CHECKED_RETURN errors. In particular virAsprintf() had
a few callers that Coverity noted didn't check their return (although some
did check if the buffer being printed to was NULL or not).
It was suggested at the time as a further patch an ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
should be added to virAsprintf(), see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-January/msg00120.html
This patch does that and fixes a few more instances not found by Coverity
that failed the check.
When a disk-only snapshot is requested the domain is treated as if it
was offline. This forbids to mix memory checkpoints with the DISK_ONLY
flag.
This patch improves the error message and mentions the restriction in
the virsh man page.
When doing checks with automake, there are '<testname>.trs' files left
behind, that might or might not be usable, however these show up in
'git status' even though we definitely don't want them to be tracked
in the repository'. Automake adds the '--trs-files' option by default
since commit 0c81b43f711fb861f04227ced8dba889596d9c43 [1], which
consequently (from 1.13 in my case) started leaving these files behind
along with '<testname>.log' files as well (which we already ignore).

Commit 60b176c3d0 introduced a bug that
when editing an XML with cputune similar to this:
...
<vcpu placement='static' current='1'>2</vcpu>
<cputune>
<vcpupin vcpu="1" cpuset="0"/>
</cputune>
...
results in formatted XML that looks like this:
...
<vcpu placement='static' current='1'>2</vcpu>
<cputune>
</cputune>
...
That is caused by a condition depending on def->cputune.vcpupin being
set rather than checking def->cputune.nvcpupin. Notice that nvcpupin
can be 0 and vcpupin can still be allocated since it's a pointer to an
array, so no harm done there.
I also changed it on other places in the code where it depended on the
wrong variable.
Setting the log output prefix to 0 is not supported and in fact results
in the following message:
warning : virLogParseOutputs:1021 : Ignoring invalid log output setting.

Currently, if qemuProcessStart() succeeds, but it's decompression
binary that returns nonzero status, we don't kill the qemu process,
but remove it from internal domain list, leaving the qemu process
hanging around totally uncontrolled.

When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was freed
but wasn't removed from the message queue.
After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
uninitialized pointer.
This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.

It seems like with new udev within guest OS, the tray is locked,
so we need to:
- 'eject'
- wait for tray to open
- 'change'
Moreover, even when doing bare 'eject', we should check for
'tray_open' as guest may have locked the tray. However, the
waiting phase shouldn't be unbounded, so I've chosen 10 retries
maximum, each per 500ms. This should give enough time for guest
to eject a media and open the tray.
Adjust the macros to free memory allocated during various calls to
perform the check if parameter is NULL prior to really freeing and to
set the pointer to NULL after done freeing.
Resolve a false positive from 'vboxIIDFromUUID_v2_x()'. The code sets
'iid->value = &iid->backing' unconditionally prior to calling 'nsIDFromChar()'.
The 'vboxIIDUnalloc_v2_x()' checks iid->value to not be &iid->backing. The
iid->backing is a static buffer within the initialized structure.
Since libxl provides the domain ID in the event handler callback,
find the domain object based on the ID. This approach prevents
processing the callback on a domain that has already been reaped.
Also, similar to the xl implementation, ignore the SUSPEND shutdown
reason. By calling libxl_domain_suspend(), we know a shutdown
event with SUSPEND reason will be generated, but it can be safely
ignored since any subsequent cleanup will be done by the callers.
libxlDoDomainSave() was removing non-persistent domains, but
required callers to have the virDomainObj locked. Callers could
potentially unlock an already freed virDomainObj. Move this
logic to the callers of libxlDoDomainSave().
I've noticed that libxl can invoke timeout reregister/modify hooks
after returning from libxl_ctx_free. Explicitly remove the
timeouts before freeing the libxl ctx to avoid executing hooks on
stale objects.
It is possible to destroy and cleanup a VM, resulting in freeing the
libxlDomainObjPrivate object and associated libxl ctx, before all fds and
timeouts have been deregistered and destroyed.
Fix this race by incrementing the reference count on libxlDomainObjPrivate
for each fd and timeout registration. Only when all fds and timeouts are
deregistered and destroyed will the libxlDomainObjPrivate be destroyed.
The libxl driver is racy in it's interactions with libxl and libvirt's
event loop. The event loop can invoke callbacks after libxl has
deregistered the event, and possibly access freed data associated with
the event.
This patch fixes the race by converting libxlDomainObjPrivate to a
virObjectLockable, and locking it while executing libxl upcalls and
libvirt event loop callbacks.
Note that using the virDomainObj lock is not satisfactory since it may
be desirable to hold the virDomainObj lock even when libxl events such
as reading and writing to xenstore need processed.
xen-unstable changeset 26469 makes changes wrt modifying and deregistering
timeouts.
First, timeout modify callbacks will only be invoked with an
abs_t of {0,0}, i.e. make the timeout fire immediately. Prior to this
commit, timeout modify callbacks were never invoked.
Second, timeout deregister hooks will no longer be called.
This patch makes changes in the libvirt libxl driver that should be
compatible before and after changeset 26469.
While at it, fix a potential overflow in the timeout register callback.
While working with a pmsuspend vs. snapshot issue, I noticed that
the state file in /var/run/libvirt/qemu/dom.xml contained a rather
suspicious "(null)" string, which does not round-trip well through
a libvirtd restart. Had I been on a platform other than glibc
where printf("%s",NULL) crashes instead of printing (null), we might
have noticed the problem much sooner.
And in fixing that problem, I also noticed that we had several
missing states, because we were #defining several *_LAST names
to a value _different_ than what they were already given as enums
in libvirt.h. Yuck. I got rid of default: labels in the case
statements, because they get in the way of gcc's -Wswitch helping
us ensure we cover all enum values.

With our code, we fail to query for tray-open attribute currently.
That's because in HMP it is 'tray-open' and in QMP it's 'tray_open'.
It always has been. However, we got it exactly the opposite.
A logic bug meant we reported KVM was possible for every
architecture, merely based on whether the query-kvm command
exists. We should instead have been doing it based on whether
the query-kvm command returns 'present: 1'

Currently QEMU capabilities are initialized before the QEMU driver
sets ownership on its various directories. The upshot is that if
you change the user/group in the qemu.conf file, libvirtd will fail
to probe QEMU the first time it is run after the config change.
Moving QEMU capabilities initialization to after the chown() calls
fixes this

qemu: Fix QMP Capabability Probing Failure
which attempted to make sure the QEMU process used for probing
ran as the right user id, caused serious performance regression
and unreliability in probing. The -daemonize switch in QEMU
guarantees that the monitor socket is present before the parent
process exits. This means libvirtd is guaranteed to be able to
connect immediately. By switching from -daemonize to the
virCommandDaemonize API libvirtd was no longer synchronized with
QEMU's startup process. The result was that the QEMU monitor
failed to open and went into its 200ms sleep loop. This happened
for all 25 binaries resulting in 5 seconds worth of sleeping
at libvirtd startup. In addition sometimes when libvirt connected,
QEMU would be partially initialized and crash causing total
failure to probe that binary.
This commit reverts the previous change, ensuring we do use the
-daemonize flag to QEMU. Startup delay is cut from 7 seconds
to 2 seconds on my machine, which is on a par with what it was
prior to the capabilities rewrite.
To deal with the fact that QEMU needs to be able to create the
pidfile, we switch pidfile location fron runDir to libDir, which
QEMU is guaranteed to be able to write to.
