<controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/>
is auto-added to pc* machine types.
Without this controller PCI bus 0 is not available and
no PCI addresses are assigned by default.
Since older libvirt supported PCI bus 0 even without
this controller, it is removed from the XML when migrating.
Each <domainsnapshot> can now contain an optional <memory>
element that describes how the VM state was handled, similar
to disk snapshots. The new element will always appear in
output; for back-compat, an input that lacks the element will
assume 'no' or 'internal' according to the domain state.
Along with this change, it is now possible to pass <disks> in
the XML for an offline snapshot; this also needs to be wired up
in a future patch, to make it possible to choose internal vs.
external on a per-disk basis for each disk in an offline domain.
At that point, using the --disk-only flag for an offline domain
will be able to work.
For some examples below, remember that qemu supports the
following snapshot actions:
qemu-img: offline external and internal disk
savevm: online internal VM and disk
migrate: online external VM
transaction: online external disk
=====
<domainsnapshot>
<memory snapshot='no'/>
...
</domainsnapshot>
implies that there is no VM state saved (mandatory for
offline and disk-only snapshots, not possible otherwise);
using qemu-img for offline domains and transaction for online.
=====
<domainsnapshot>
<memory snapshot='internal'/>
...
</domainsnapshot>
state is saved inside one of the disks (as in qemu's 'savevm'
system checkpoint implementation). If needed in the future,
we can also add an attribute pointing out _which_ disk saved
the internal state; maybe disk='vda'.
=====
<domainsnapshot>
<memory snapshot='external' file='/path/to/state'/>
...
</domainsnapshot>
This is not wired up yet, but future patches will allow this to
control a combination of 'virsh save /path/to/state' plus disk
snapshots from the same point in time.
=====
So for 1.0.1 (and later, as needed), I plan to implement this table
of combinations, with '*' designating new code and '+' designating
existing code reached through new combinations of xml and/or the
existing DISK_ONLY flag:
domain memory disk disk-only | result
-----------------------------------------
offline omit omit any | memory=no disk=int, via qemu-img
offline no omit any |+memory=no disk=int, via qemu-img
offline omit/no no any | invalid combination (nothing to snapshot)
offline omit/no int any |+memory=no disk=int, via qemu-img
offline omit/no ext any |*memory=no disk=ext, via qemu-img
offline int/ext any any | invalid combination (no memory to save)
online omit omit off | memory=int disk=int, via savevm
online omit omit on | memory=no disk=default, via transaction
online omit no/ext off | unsupported for now
online omit no on | invalid combination (nothing to snapshot)

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.
Tests were updated via:
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"
followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.
Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.
Fix tests to pass with this change.
Add a test for the simple parts of my indentation changes, and

This patch will probably cause merge conflicts to those trying
to do backports. The end goal is simple - domaincommon.rng
should be the state of domain.rng pre-patch, with a few lines
tweaked in the header, while domain.rng post-patch is now just
a shell that includes domaincommon.rng and sets the <start>.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Move guts...
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: ...to new file.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng: Allow new xml.
