96460a1987 util: rework error reporting in virGet(User|Group)IDByName
This patch gets rid of the undeterministic error reporting code done on
return values of get(pw|gr)nam_r. With this patch, if the group record
is not returned by the corresponding function this error is not
considered fatal even if errno != 0. The error is logged in such case.

2d5cd1d724 network: add support for DHCPv6
The DHCPv6 support includes IPV6 dhcp-range and dhcp-host for one
IPv6 subnetwork on one interface.  This support will only work
if dnsmasq version >= 2.64; otherwise an error occurs if
dhcp-range or dhcp-host is specified for an IPv6 address.

Essentially, this change provides the same DHCP support for IPv6
that has been available for IPv4.

With dnsmasq >= 2.64, support for the RA service is also now provided
by dnsmasq (radvd is no longer used/started). (Although at least one
version of dnsmasq prior to 2.64 "supported" IPv6 Router
Advertisement, there were bugs (fixed in 2.64) that rendered it
unusable.)

Documentation and the network schema has been updated
to reflect the new support.

85b22f528f util: add VIR_(APPEND|INSERT|DELETE)_ELEMENT
I noticed when writing the backend functions for virNetworkUpdate that
I was repeating the same sequence of memmove, VIR_REALLOC, nXXX-- (and
messed up the args to memmove at least once), and had seen the same
sequence in a lot of other places, so I decided to write a few
utility functions/macros - see the .h file for full documentation.

The intent is to reduce the number of lines of code, but more
importantly to eliminate the need to check the element size and
element count arithmetic every time we need to do this (I *always*
make at least one mistake.)

VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT: insert one element at an arbitrary index within an
  array of objects. The size of each object is determined
  automatically by the macro using sizeof(*array). The new element's
  contents are copied into the inserted space, then the original copy
  of contents are 0'ed out (if everything else was
  successful). Compile-time assignment and size compatibility between
  the array and the new element is guaranteed (see explanation below
  [*])

VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT_COPY: identical to VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT, except that
  the original contents of newelem are not cleared to 0 (i.e. a copy
  is made).

VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT: This is just a special case of VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT
  that "inserts" one past the current last element.

VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT_COPY: identical to VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT, except that
  the original contents of newelem are not cleared to 0 (i.e. a copy
  is made).

VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT: delete one element at an arbitrary index within an
  array of objects. It's assumed that the element being deleted is
  already saved elsewhere (or cleared, if that's what is appropriate).

All five of these macros have an _INPLACE variant, which skips the
memory re-allocation of the array, assuming that the caller has
already done it (when inserting) or will do it later (when deleting).

Note that VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT* can return a failure, but only if an
invalid index is given (index + amount to delete is > current array
size), so in most cases you can safely ignore the return (that's why
the helper function virDeleteElementsN isn't declared with
ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK). A warning is logged if this ever happens,
since it is surely a coding error.

[*] One initial problem with the INSERT and APPEND macros was that,
due to both the array pointer and newelem pointer being cast to void*
when passing to virInsertElementsN(), any chance of type-checking was
lost. If we were going to move in newelem with a memmove anyway, we
would be no worse off for this. However, most current open-coded
insert/append operations use direct struct assignment to move the new
element into place (or just populate the new element directly) - thus
use of the new macros would open a possibility for new usage errors
that didn't exist before (e.g. accidentally sending &newelemptr rather
than newelemptr - I actually did this quite a lot in my test
conversions of existing code).

But thanks to Eric Blake's clever thinking, I was able to modify the
INSERT and APPEND macros so that they *do* check for both assignment
and size compatibility of *ptr (an element in the array) and newelem
(the element being copied into the new position of the array). This is
done via clever use of the C89-guaranteed fact that the sizeof()
operator must have *no* side effects (so an assignment inside sizeof()
is checked for validity, but not actually evaluated), and the fact
that virInsertElementsN has a "# of new elements" argument that we
want to always be 1.

a33f4eae83 util: Don't fail virGetGroupIDByName when group not found
virGetGroupIDByName is documented as returning 1 if the groupname
cannot be found. getgrnam_r is documented as returning:
« 0 or ENOENT or ESRCH or EBADF or EPERM or ...  The given name
or gid was not found. »
 and that:
« The formulation given above under "RETURN VALUE" is from POSIX.1-2001.
It  does  not  call  "not  found"  an error, hence does not specify what
value errno might have in this situation.  But that makes it impossible to
recognize errors.  One might argue that according to POSIX errno should be
left unchanged if an entry is not found.  Experiments on various UNIX-like
systems shows that lots of different values occur in this situation: 0,
ENOENT, EBADF, ESRCH, EWOULDBLOCK, EPERM and probably others. »

virGetGroupIDByName returns an error when the return value of getgrnam_r
is non-0. However on my RHEL system, getgrnam_r returns ENOENT when the
requested user cannot be found, which then causes virGetGroupID not
to behave as documented (it returns an error instead of falling back
to parsing the passed-in value as an gid).

This commit makes virGetGroupIDByName only report an error when errno
is set to one of the values in the posix description of getgrnam_r
(which are the same as the ones described in the manpage on my system).

ff33f80773 dnsmasq: Fix parsing of the version number
If debugging is enabled, the debug messages are sent to stderr.
Moreover, if a command has catching of stderr set, the messages
gets mixed with stdout output (assuming both outputs are stored
in the same variable). The resulting string then doesn't
necessarily have to start with desired prefix then. This bug
exposes itself when parsing dnsmasq output:

11:11:02.232+0000: 18492: debug : virFileClose:72 : Closed fd 22'

We can clearly see that the output of dnsmasq --version doesn't
start with expected "Dnsmasq version " string but a libvirt debug
output.

5114431396 dnsmasq: Fix parsing of the version number
If the debugging is enabled, the virCommand subsystem catches debug
messages in the command output as well. In that case, we can't assume

prefix. But the prefix can be moved deeper in the string. This bug
shows itself when parsing dnsmasq output:

719c2c7665 util: capabilities detection for dnsmasq
In order to optionally take advantage of new features in dnsmasq when
the host's version of dnsmasq supports them, but still be able to run
on hosts that don't support the new features, we need to be able to
detect the version of dnsmasq running on the host, and possibly
determine from the help output what options are in this dnsmasq.

This patch implements a greatly simplified version of the capabilities
code we already have for qemu. A dnsmasqCaps device can be created and
populated either from running a program on disk, reading a file with
the concatenated output of "dnsmasq --version; dnsmasq --help", or
examining a buffer in memory that contains the concatenated output of
those two commands. Simple functions to retrieve capabilities flags,
the version number, and the path of the binary are also included.

bridge_driver.c creates a single dnsmasqCaps object at driver startup,
and disposes of it at driver shutdown. Any time it must be used, the
dnsmasqCapsRefresh method is called - it checks the mtime of the
binary, and re-runs the checks if the binary has changed.

networkxml2argvtest.c creates 2 "artificial" dnsmasqCaps objects at
startup - one "restricted" (doesn't support --bind-dynamic) and one
"full" (does support --bind-dynamic). Some of the test cases use one
and some the other, to make sure both code pathes are tested.

39c814ff46 Use helper functions to format the journal iov array
This simplifies the top-level code, at the cost of using a little more
stack space.  The primary benefit is being able to send more fields
without knowing in advance how many of them, and of which types, these
fields will be, and without having to individually add buffer variables.

The code imposes an upper limit on the total number of iovs/buffers
used, and fields that wouldn't fit are silently dropped.  This is not
significant in this patch, but will affect the following one.

The metadata representation is as minimal as possible, but requires

The alternative of using varargs in the virLogMessage() callers:
* Would not allow the caller to optionally omit some metadata elements,
  except by having two calls to virLogMessage.
* Would not be as type-safe (e.g. using int vs. size_t), and the compiler
  wouldn't be able to do type checking
* Depending on parameter order:
  a) virLogMessage(..., message format, message params...,
                   metadata..., NULL)
     can not be portably implemented (parse_printf_format() is a glibc

  b) virLogMessage(..., metadata..., NULL,

The "restart" function for locks allocates a new array according to
and pre-sets its length, then reads the owner pids from a JSON
document in a loop. Rather than adding each owner at a different
index, though, it repeatedly overwrites the last element of the array
with all the owners.

e0c469e58b storage: fix broken backing chain
82507838 refactored the code to keep both the raw and canonicalized form
of the backingStore, which breaks badly when the storage pool contains a
storage volume, which is missing its backing store file:
 # ./daemon/libvirtd -l
 2012-11-07 12:43:33.279+0000: 22175: info : libvirt version: 1.0.0
 2012-11-07 12:43:33.279+0000: 22175: error : absolutePathFromBaseFile:542 : Can't canonicalize path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/base.qcow2': No such file or directory

This is because virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf() aborts with -1 if the
filename of the backingStore can not be canonicalized:
 #0  absolutePathFromBaseFile () at util/storage_file.c:541
 #1  virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf () at util/storage_file.c:728
 #2  virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD () at util/storage_file.c:932

 ...

Treat files which miss their backing file as standalone files.

f32e3a2dd6 iohelper: fdatasync() at the end
Currently, when we are doing (managed) save, we insert the
iohelper between the qemu and OS. The pipe is created, the
writing end is passed to qemu and the reading end to the
iohelper. It reads data and write them into given file. However,
with write() being asynchronous data may still be in OS
caches and hence in some (corner) cases, all migration data
may have been read and written (not physically though). So
qemu will report success, as well as iohelper. However, with
some non local filesystems, where ENOSPACE is polled every X
time units, we may get into situation where all operations
succeeded but data hasn't reached the disk. And in fact will
never do. Therefore we ought sync caches to make sure data
has reached the block device on remote host.

7bafe009d9 util: do a better job of matching up pids with their binaries
This patch resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871201

If libvirt is restarted after updating the dnsmasq or radvd packages,
a subsequent "virsh net-destroy" will fail to kill the dnsmasq/radvd
process.

The problem is that when libvirtd restarts, it re-reads the dnsmasq
and radvd pidfiles, then does a sanity check on each pid it finds,
including checking that the symbolic link in /proc/$pid/exe actually
points to the same file as the path used by libvirt to execute the
binary in the first place. If this fails, libvirt assumes that the
process is no longer alive.

But if the original binary has been replaced, the link in /proc is set
to "$binarypath (deleted)" (it literally has the string " (deleted)"
appended to the link text stored in the filesystem), so even if a new
binary exists in the same location, attempts to resolve the link will
fail.

In the end, not only is the old dnsmasq/radvd not terminated when the
network is stopped, but a new dnsmasq can't be started when the
network is later restarted (because the original process is still
listening on the ports that the new process wants).

The solution is, when the initial "use stat to check for identical
inodes" check for identity between /proc/$pid/exe and $binpath fails,
to check /proc/$pid/exe for a link ending with " (deleted)" and if so,
truncate that part of the link and compare what's left with the
original binarypath.

A twist to this problem is that on systems with "merged" /sbin and
/usr/sbin (i.e. /sbin is really just a symlink to /usr/sbin; Fedora
17+ is an example of this), libvirt may have started the process using
one path, but /proc/$pid/exe lists a different path (indeed, on F17
this is the case - libvirtd uses /sbin/dnsmasq, but /proc/$pid/exe
shows "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq"). The further bit of code to resolve this is
to call virFileResolveAllLinks() on both the original binarypath and
on the truncated link we read from /proc/$pid/exe, and compare the
results.

The resulting code still succeeds in all the same cases it did before,
but also succeeds if the binary was deleted or replaced after it was
started.

Only use the journal by default if running in daemon mode, or
if stdin is _not_ a tty. This should make libvirtd launched from

1cb1f9dabf network: always create dnsmasq hosts and addnhosts files, even if empty
This fixes the problem reported in:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868389

Previously, the dnsmasq hosts file (used for static dhcp entries, and
addnhosts file (used for additional dns host entries) were only
created/referenced on the dnsmasq commandline if there was something
to put in them at the time the network was started. Once we can update
a network definition while it's active (which is now possible with
virNetworkUpdate), this is no longer a valid strategy - if there were
0 dhcp static hosts (resulting in no reference to the hosts file on the
commandline), then one was later added, the commandline wouldn't have
linked dnsmasq up to the file, so even though we create it, dnsmasq
doesn't pay any attention.

The solution is to just always create these files and reference them
on the dnsmasq commandline (almost always, anyway). That way dnsmasq
can notice when a new entry is added at runtime (a SIGHUP is sent to
dnsmasq by virNetworkUdpate whenever a host entry is added or removed)

The exception to this is that the dhcp static hosts file isn't created
if there are no lease ranges *and* no static hosts. This is because in
this case dnsmasq won't be setup to listen for dhcp requests anyway -
in that case, if the count of dhcp hosts goes from 0 to 1, dnsmasq
will need to be restarted anyway (to get it listening on the dhcp
port). Likewise, if the dhcp hosts count goes from 1 to 0 (and there
are no dhcp ranges) we need to restart dnsmasq so that it will stop
listening on port 67. These special situations are handled in the
bridge driver's networkUpdate() by checking for ((bool)
nranges||nhosts) both before and after the update, and triggering a
dnsmasq restart if the before and after don't match.

eca72d4759 Introduce an internal API for handling file based lockspaces
The previously introduced virFile{Lock,Unlock} APIs provide a
way to acquire/release fcntl() locks on individual files. For
unknown reason though, the POSIX spec says that fcntl() locks
are released when *any* file handle referring to the same path
is closed. In the following sequence

  threadA: fd1 = open("foo")
  threadB: fd2 = open("foo")
  threadA: virFileLock(fd1)
  threadB: virFileLock(fd2)
  threadB: close(fd2)

you'd expect threadA to come out holding a lock on 'foo', and
indeed it does hold a lock for a very short time. Unfortunately
when threadB does close(fd2) this releases the lock associated
with fd1. For the current libvirt use case for virFileLock -
pidfiles - this doesn't matter since the lock is acquired
at startup while single threaded an never released until
exit.

To provide a more generally useful API though, it is necessary
to introduce a slightly higher level abstraction, which is to
be referred to as a "lockspace".  This is to be provided by
a virLockSpacePtr object in src/util/virlockspace.{c,h}. The
core idea is that the lockspace keeps track of what files are
already open+locked. This means that when a 2nd thread comes
along and tries to acquire a lock, it doesn't end up opening
and closing a new FD. The lockspace just checks the current
list of held locks and immediately returns VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY.

NB, the API as it stands is designed on the basis that the
files being locked are not being otherwise opened and used
by the application code. One approach to using this API is to
acquire locks based on a hash of the filepath.

eg to lock /var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img the application
might do

   virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew("/var/lib/libvirt/imagelocks");
   lockname = md5sum("/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
   virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, lockname);

NB, in this example, the caller should ensure that the path
is canonicalized before calculating the checksum.

It is also possible to do locks directly on resources by
using a NULL lockspace directory and then using the file
path as the lock name eg

   virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew(NULL);
   virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, "/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");

This is only safe to do though if no other part of the process
will be opening the files. This will be the case when this
code is used inside the soon-to-be-reposted virlockd daemon

data can then query the journal to extract exactly what
they desire without resorting to string parsing

While systemd provides a simple client library for logging,
it is more convenient for libvirt to directly write its
own client code. This lets us build up the iovec's on
the stack, avoiding the need to alloc memory when writing
log messages.

0225c566f4 Include filename explicitly in logging APIs
Currently the logging APIs have a 'const char *category' parameter
which indicates where the log message comes from. This is typically
a combination of the __FILE__ string and other prefix. Split the
__FILE__ off into a dedicated parameter so it can passed to the
log outputs

db488c7917 network: fix dnsmasq/radvd binding to IPv6 on recent kernels
I hit this problem recently when trying to create a bridge with an IPv6
address on a 3.2 kernel: dnsmasq (and, further, radvd) would not bind to
the given address, waiting 20s and then giving up with -EADDRNOTAVAIL
(resp. exiting immediately with "error parsing or activating the config
file", without libvirt noticing it, BTW). This can be reproduced with (I
think) any kernel >= 2.6.39 and the following XML (to be used with
"virsh net-create"):

        <network>
          <name>test-bridge</name>
          <bridge name='testbr0' />
          <ip family='ipv6' address='fd00::1' prefix='64'>
          </ip>
        </network>

(it happens even when you have an IPv4, too)

The problem is that since commit [1] (which, ironically, was made to
“help IPv6 autoconfiguration”) the linux bridge code makes bridges
behave like “real” devices regarding carrier detection. This makes the
bridges created by libvirt, which are started without any up devices,
stay with the NO-CARRIER flag set, and thus prevents DAD (Duplicate
address detection) from happening, thus letting the IPv6 address flagged
as “tentative”. Such addresses cannot be bound to (see RFC 2462), so
dnsmasq fails binding to it (for radvd, it detects that "interface XXX
is not RUNNING", thus that "interface XXX does not exist, ignoring the
interface" (sic)). It seems that this behavior was enhanced somehow with
commit [2] by avoiding setting NO-CARRIER on empty bridges, but I
couldn't reproduce this behavior on my kernel. Anyway, with the “dummy
tap to set MAC address” trick, this wouldn't work.

To fix this, the idea is to get the bridge's attached device to be up so
that DAD can happen (deactivating DAD altogether is not a good idea, I
think). Currently, libvirt creates a dummy TAP device to set the MAC
address of the bridge, keeping it down. But even if we set this device
up, it is not RUNNING as soon as the tap file descriptor attached to it
is closed, thus still preventing DAD. So, we must modify the API a bit,
so that we can get the fd, keep the tap device persistent, run the
daemons, and close it after DAD has taken place. After that, the bridge
will be flagged NO-CARRIER again, but the daemons will be running, even
if not happy about the device's state (but we don't really care about
the bridge's daemons doing anything when no up interface is connected to
it).

Other solutions that I envisioned were:
      * Keeping the *-nic interface up: this would waste an fd for each
        bridge during all its life. May be acceptable, I don't really
        know.
      * Stop using the dummy tap trick, and set the MAC address directly
        on the bridge: it is possible since quite some time it seems,
        even if then there is the problem of the bridge not being
        RUNNING when empty, contrary to what [2] says, so this will need
        fixing (and this fix only happened in 3.1, so it wouldn't work
        for 2.6.39)
      * Using the --interface option of dnsmasq, but I saw somewhere
        that it's not used by libvirt for backward compatibility. I am
        not sure this would solve this problem, though, as I don't know
        how dnsmasq binds itself to it with this option.

This is why this patch does what's described earlier.

This patch also makes radvd start even if the interface is
“missing” (i.e. it is not RUNNING), as it daemonizes before binding to
it, and thus sometimes does it after the interface has been brought down
by us (by closing the tap fd), and then originally stops. This also
makes it stop yelling about it in the logs when the interface is down at
a later time.
