This eliminates the warning message reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624447
It was caused by a failure to open an image file that is not
accessible by root (the uid libvirtd is running as) because it's on a
root-squash NFS share, owned by a different user, with permissions of
660 (or maybe 600).
The solution is to use virFileOpenAs() rather than open(). The
codepath that generates the error is during qemuSetupDiskCGroup(), but
the actual open() is in a lower-level generic function called from
many places (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath), so some other pieces of the
code were touched just to add dummy (or possibly useful) uid and gid
arguments.
Eliminating this warning message has the nice side effect that the
requested operation may even succeed (which in this case isn't
necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything either).
virFileOpenAs previously would only try opening a file as the current
user, or as a different user, but wouldn't try both methods in a
single call. This made it cumbersome to use as a replacement for
open(2). Additionally, it had a lot of historical baggage that led to
it being difficult to understand.
This patch refactors virFileOpenAs in the following ways:
* reorganize the code so that everything dealing with both the parent
and child sides of the "fork+setuid+setgid+open" method are in a
separate function. This makes the public function easier to understand.
* Allow a single call to virFileOpenAs() to first attempt the open as
the current user, and if that fails to automatically re-try after
doing fork+setuid (if deemed appropriate, i.e. errno indicates it
would now be successful, and the file is on a networkFS). This makes
it possible (in many, but possibly not all, cases) to drop-in
virFileOpenAs() as a replacement for open(2).
(NB: currently qemuOpenFile() calls virFileOpenAs() twice, once
without forking, then again with forking. That unfortunately can't
be changed without at least some discussion of the ramifications,
because the requested file permissions are different in each case,
which is something that a single call to virFileOpenAs() can't deal
with.)
* Add a flag so that any fchown() of the file to a different uid:gid
is explicitly requested when the function is called, rather than it
being implied by the presence of the O_CREAT flag. This just makes
for less subtle surprises to consumers. (Commit
b1643dc15c added the check for O_CREAT
before forcing ownership. This patch just makes that restriction
more explicit.)
* If either the uid or gid is specified as "-1", virFileOpenAs will
interpret this to mean "the current [gu]id".
All current consumers of virFileOpenAs should retain their present
behavior (after a few minor changes to their setup code and
arguments).
Rename the src/util/netlink files to src/util/virnetlink to
better fit the naming scheme. Also rename nlComm to virNetlinkCommand.

When libvirt's virDomainDestroy API is shutting down the qemu process,
it first sends SIGTERM, then waits for 1.6 seconds and, if it sees the
process still there, sends a SIGKILL.
There have been reports that this behavior can lead to data loss
because the guest running in qemu doesn't have time to flush its disk
cache buffers before it's unceremoniously whacked.
This patch maintains that default behavior, but provides a new flag
VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL to alter the behavior. If this flag is set
in the call to virDomainDestroyFlags, SIGKILL will never be sent to
the qemu process; instead, if the timeout is reached and the qemu
process still exists, virDomainDestroy will return an error.
Once this patch is in, the recommended method for applications to call
virDomainDestroyFlags will be with VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL
included. If that fails, then the application can decide if and when
to call virDomainDestroyFlags again without
VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL (to force the issue with SIGKILL).
(Note that this does not address the issue of existing applications
that have not yet been modified to use VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL.
That is a separate patch.)
This patch starts the process of elevating the python binding code
to be on the same level as the rest of libvirt when it comes to
requiring good coding styles. Statically linking against the
libvirt_util library makes it much easier to write good code,
rather than having to open-code and reinvent things locally.
Done by global search and replace of s/free(/VIR_FREE(/, followed
by hand-inspection of remaining malloc and redundant memset.

To allow the container to access /dev and /dev/pts when under
sVirt, set an explicit mount option. Also set a max size on
the /dev mount to prevent DOS on memory usage
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Set /dev mount context
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Set /dev/pts mount context
For the sake of backwards compat, LXC guests are *not*
confined by default. This is because it is not practical
to dynamically relabel containers using large filesystem
trees. Applications can create confined containers though,
by giving suitable XML configs
* src/Makefile.am: Link libvirt_lxc to security drivers
* src/lxc/libvirtd_lxc.aug, src/lxc/lxc_conf.h,
src/lxc/lxc_conf.c, src/lxc/lxc.conf,
src/lxc/test_libvirtd_lxc.aug: Config file handling for
security driver
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Wire up security driver functions
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Add a '--security' flag to
specify which security driver to activate
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c, src/lxc/lxc_container.h: Set
the process label just before exec'ing init.
Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.
With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.
This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement
security_default_confined = 1|0 (default == 1)
security_require_confined = 1|0 (default == 0)
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new
seclabel types

seclabel: allow a seclabel override on a disk src
These two commits changed the sec label parsing code so that
the same code dealt with both the VM level sec label, and the
per device label. Unfortunately, as we add more options to the
VM level sec label, the logic required to use the same parsing
code for the per device label becomes unintelligible.

The path to the dnsmasq binary can be configured while in the test data
the path is hard-coded to /usr/bin/. This break the test suite if a the
binary is located in a different location, like /usr/local/sbin/.
Replace the hard coded path in the test data by a token, which is
dynamically replaced in networkxml2argvtest with the configured path
after the test data has been loaded.
(Another option would have been to modify configure.ac to generate the
test data during configure, but I do not know of an easy way do trick
configure into mass-generate those test files without listing every

This is a trivial implementation, which works with the current
released qemu 1.0 with backports of preliminary block pull but
no partial rebase. Future patches will update the monitor handling
to support an optional parameter for partial rebase; but as qemu
1.1 is unreleased, it can be in later patches, designed to be
backported on top of the supported API.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Add parameter,
and adjust callers. Drop redundant check.
(qemuDomainBlockPull): Move guts...
(qemuDomainBlockRebase): ...to new function.
Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase. That is, given:
base <- intermediate <- current
virDomainBlockPull will produce:
current
but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:
base <- current
Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags. But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:
Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.
Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainBlockRebase): New
declaration.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainBlockRebase): Implement it.
* src/libvirt_public.syms (LIBVIRT_0.9.10): Export it.
* src/driver.h (virDrvDomainBlockRebase): New driver callback.
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl (long_legacy): Add exemption.
* docs/apibuild.py (long_legacy_functions): Likewise.
This patch adds support for the new api into the qemu driver to support
modification and retrieval of domain description and title. This patch
does not add support for modifying the <metadata> element.
This patch adds a new command "desc" to show and modify titles and
description for the domains using the new API.
This patch also adds a new flag for the "list" command to show titles in
the domain list, to allow easy identification of VMs by storing a short
description.
Example:
virsh # list --title
Id Name State Title
-----------------------------------------------
0 Domain-0 running Mailserver 1
2 fedora paused
This patch adds API to modify domain metadata for running and stopped
domains. The api supports changing description, title as well as the
newly added <metadata> element. The API has support for storing data in
the metadata element using xml namespaces.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
* src/libvirt_public.syms
- add function headers
- add enum to select metadata to operate on
- export functions
* src/libvirt.c
- add public api implementation
* src/driver.h
- add driver support
* src/remote/remote_driver.c
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x
- wire up the remote protocol
* include/libvirt/virterror.h
* src/util/virterror.c
- add a new error message note that metadata for domain are
missing
This patch adds a new element <title> to the domain XML. This attribute
can hold a short title defined by the user to ease the identification of
domains. The title may not contain newlines and should be reasonably short.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng
- add schema grammar for the new element and documentation
*src/conf/domain_conf.c
*src/conf/domain_conf.h
- add field to hold the new attribute
- add code to parse and create XML with the new attribute
This was forgotten when the function was originally written (not
noticed because it wasn't used at the time). It's required for
proper compilation with modules enabled after applying the recent
virStorageVolResize patches.

GCC complaints about uninitialized use of len, which however is only
used when errors != NULL and in that case len is always initialized.
It's trivial to silence this by always initializing len.
One of my latest patches (d8db0f9690) created support for setting
the limit for the maximum of opened files by qemu user. However,
since libvirtd keeps one FD opened per domain (well, for qemu at least)
it will likely hit this limit on huge scenarios.
