This adds per-device weights to <blkiotune>. Note that the
cgroups implementation only supports weights per block device,
and not per-file within the device; hence this option must be
global to the domain definition rather than tied to individual
<devices>/<disk> entries:
<domain ...>
<blkiotune>
<device>
<path>/path/to/block</path>
<weight>1000</weight>
</device>
</blkiotune>
..
This patch also adds a parameter --device-weights to virsh command
blkiotune for setting/getting blkiotune.weight_device for any
hypervisor that supports it. All <device> entries under
<blkiotune> are concatenated into a single string attribute under

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 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).

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

It is important to be able to attach USB redirected devices to a

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).

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.
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'.
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).
This patch creates new <bios> element which, at this time has only the
attribute useserial='yes|no'. This attribute allow users to use
Serial Graphics Adapter and see BIOS messages from the very first moment
domain boots up. Therefore, users can choose boot medium, set PXE, etc.
This option accepts 3 values:
-keep, to keep current client connected (Spice+VNC)
-disconnect, to disconnect client (Spice)
-fail, to fail setting password if there is a client connected (Spice)
No change in wording. One spacing change in a <pre>, noticed because
of odd XML formatting online; the rest is in free-flowing text to

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

For backwards compatibility, if no <video> is set but there is a
<graphics> tag, then we add a default <video> according to the
guest type. Add docs to tell the user about this to not make
them confused. Especially if they remove the video (such as via
"virsh edit"), it will be surprised for them to see the video
element is still in domain XML.
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.

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>

<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')

This is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662
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.
Adds <smartcard mode='passthrough' type='spicevmc'/>, which uses the
new <channel name='smartcard'/> of <graphics type='spice'>.

Assuming a hypervisor that supports multiple smartcard devices in the
guest, this would be a valid XML description:
<devices>
<smartcard mode='host'/>
<smartcard mode='host-certificates'>
<certificate>/path/to/cert1</certificate>
<certificate>/path/to/cert2</certificate>
<certificate>/path/to/cert3</certificate>
</smartcard>
<smartcard mode='passthrough' type='tcp'>
<source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='2001'/>
<protocol type='raw'/>
</smartcard>
</devices>
(As of this commit, the qemu hypervisor will be the first
implementation, but it only supports one smartcard.)
* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Smartcard devices): New section.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng (smartcard): New define, used in
devices.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smartcard-host.xml: New file
to test schema.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smartcard-host-certificates.xml:
Likewise.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smartcard-passthrough-tcp.xml:
Likewise.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smartcard-controller.xml:
Likewise.
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
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available
v5:
Comment spelling fixes
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.
v2:
schema: Make listen vs. socket a <choice>
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.
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.
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
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.
* 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'.
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
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.
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.
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.
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'.
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.
In the documentation mention that the direct device support is there
since libvirt 0.7.7. A Linux kernel 2.6.34 is required for macvtap to be
available as standard device.
The description mismatched the actual structure since the video element
was introduced. The nvram attribute is actually called vram. Specify the
unit of the vram attribute.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: refactors the existing character device
documentation to make it explicit which directives configure the guest
interface, and which configure the host interface.
This patch is the result of running the following command in the docs
directory: sed -i 's/\t/ /g; s/\s*$//' *.html.in
* docs/*.html.in:convert tabs into 8 spaces and remove trailing whitespace

The XML allows <encryption format='unencrypted'/>, this implementation
canonicalizes the internal representation so that "disk->encryption" is
