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:

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>
This will allow us to record transient runtime state in vm->def, like
default VNC parameters. Accomplish this by adding an extra 'live' parameter
to SetDefTransient, with similar semantics to the 'live' flag for
AssignDef.
The public object is called NWFilter but the corresponding private
object is called NWFilterPool. I don't see compelling reasons for this
Pool suffix. One might argue that an NWFilter is a "pool" of rules, etc.
Remove the Pool suffix from NWFilterPool. No functional change included.
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.
This is in response to a request in:

In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).
Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.
The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.
<interface type='network'>
...
<tune>
<sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
...
</tune>
</interface>

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.
This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:
<interface type="network">
<model type="virtio"/>
<driver name="vhost"/>
will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.
If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.
Extend the virDomainFeature enumeration to include HAP (hardware
assisted paging) feature.
Hardware features such as Extended Page Table and Nested Page
Table augment hypervisor software techniques such as shadow
page table. Adding HAP to the virDomainFeature enumeration
allows users to select between hardware and software memory
management mechanisms for their guests.
If invalid type is specified, e.g.
<serial type='foo'>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
We replace 'foo' with "null" type implicitly, without reporting an
error message to tell the user, and "start" or "edit" the domain
will be success.
It's not good to guess what the user wants, This patch is to fix
the problem.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c
This is partially in response to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653300
The crash in that report was coincidentally fixed when we switched
from using inet_pton() to using virSocketParseAddr(), but the absence
of an ip address in a dhcp static host definition was still silently
ignored (and that entry discarded from the saved XML). This patch
turns that into a logged failure; likewise if the entry has neither a
mac address nor a name attribute (the entry is useless without at
least one of those, plus an ip address).
Since the network name is now pulled into this function in order for
those error logs to be more informative, the other error messages in
the function have also been changed to take advantage.
Running an instance of the router advertisement daemon (radvd) allows
guests using the virtual network to automatically acquire an IPv6
address and default route. Note that acquiring an address only works
for networks with a prefix length of exactly 64 - radvd is still run
in other circumstances, and still advertises routes, but autoconf will
not work because it requires exactly 64 bits of address info from the
network prefix.
This patch avoids a race condition with the pidfile by manually
daemonizing radvd rather than allowing it to daemonize itself, then
creating our own pidfile (in addition to radvd's own file, which is
unnecessary, but there is no way to tell radvd to not create it). This
is accomplished by exec'ing it with "--debug 1" in the commandline,
and using virCommand's features to fork, create a pidfile, and detach
from the newly forked process.
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
* there can now be more than one <ip> element.
* ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
* new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
* new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
(will default to ipv4)
* define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
(including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
correctly parsed and formatted.
When a netmask isn't specified for an IPv4 address, one can be implied
based on what network class range the address is in. The
virNetworkDefPrefix function does this for us, so netmask isn't
required.
Later patches will add the possibility to define a network's netmask
as a prefix (0-32, or 0-128 in the case of IPv6). To make it easier to
deal with definition of both kinds (prefix or netmask), add two new
functions:
virNetworkDefNetmask: return a copy of the netmask into a
virSocketAddr. If no netmask was specified in the XML, create a
default netmask based on the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address.
virNetworkDefPrefix: return the netmask as numeric prefix (or the
default prefix for the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address, if no netmask was specified in the XML)
Network disks are accessed by qemu directly, and have no
associated file on the host, so checking for file ownership etc.
is unnecessary.

Changes common to all network disks:
-Make source name optional in the domain schema, since NBD doesn't use it
-Add a hostName type to the domain schema, and use it instead of genericName, which doesn't include .

Do this by adding a helper function to get the persistent domain config. This
should be useful for other functions that may eventually want to alter
the persistent domain config (attach/detach device). Also make similar changes
to the test drivers setvcpus command.
A caveat is that the function will return the running config for a transient
domain, rather than error. This simplifies callers, as long as they use
other methods to ensure the guest is persistent.
This function sets the running domain definition as transient, by reparsing
the persistent config and assigning it to newDef. This ensures that any
changes made to the running definition and not the persistent config are
discarded when the VM is shutdown.
I am trying to use a qcow image with libvirt where the backing 'file' is a
qemu-nbd server. Unfortunately virDomainDiskDefForeachPath() assumes that
backingStore is always a real file so something like 'nbd:0:3333' is rejected
because a file with that name cannot be accessed. Note that I am not worried
about directly using nbd images. That would require a new disk type with XML
markup, etc. I only want it to be permitted as a backingStore
The following patch implements danpb's suggestion:

During a shutdown/restart cycle libvirtd forgot the macvtap device name that it had created on behalf of a VM so that a stale macvtap device remained on the host when the VM terminated. Libvirtd has to actively tear down a macvtap device and it uses its name for identifying which device to tear down.
The solution is to not blank out the <target dev='...'/> completely, but only blank it out on VMs that are not active. So, if a VM is active, the device name makes it into the XML and is also being parsed. If a VM is not active, the device name is discarded.
The network address was being set to 192.168.122.0 instead

Instead of storing the IP address string in virNetwork related

The inet_pton and inet_ntop functions are obsolete, replaced
by getaddrinfo+getnameinfo with the AI_NUMERICHOST flag set.
These can be accessed via the virSocket APIs.
The bridge.c code had methods for fetching the IP address of
a bridge which used inet_ntop. Aside from the use of inet_ntop
these methods are broken, because a NIC can have multiple
addresses and this only returns one address. Since the methods
are never used, just remove them.
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.c:
Replace inet_pton and inet_ntop with virSocket APIs
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Remove unused methods
which called inet_ntop.
The virSocketParse method was not doing any error reporting

The getnameinfo() function is more flexible than inet_ntop()
avoiding the need to if/else the code based on socket family.

The nwIPAddress was simply a wrapper about virSocketAddr.
Just use the latter directly, removing all the extra field

The virSocketParseAddr function was accepting any AF_* constant
and using that to set the ai_flags field in struct addrinfo.
This is invalid, since address families must go in the ai_family
field of the struct.
* src/util/network.c: Fix handling of address family
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c: Pass
AF_UNSPEC instead of relying on it being 0.
Some operations on socket addresses need to know the length of
the sockaddr struct for the particular address family. This
info was being discarded when passing around virSocketAddr
instances. Turn it from a union into a struct containing
union+socklen_t fields, so length is always kept around.
* src/util/network.h: Add socklen_t field to virSocketAddr
* src/util/network.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/conf/domain_conf.c: Update to take account of new

Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.

I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).
This introduces new attribute to filesystem element
to support customizable access mode for mount type.
Valid accessmode are: passthrough, mapped and squash.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
passthrough is the default model if not specified, that's
also the current behaviour.
This is from a bug report and conversation on IRC where Soren reported that while a filter update is occurring on one or more VMs (due to a rule having been edited for example), a deadlock can occur when a VM referencing a filter is started.
The problem is caused by the two locking sequences of
qemu driver, qemu domain, filter # for the VM start operation
filter, qemu_driver, qemu_domain # for the filter update operation
that obviously don't lock in the same order. The problem is the 2nd lock sequence. Here the qemu_driver lock is being grabbed in qemu_driver:qemudVMFilterRebuild()
The following solution is based on the idea of trying to re-arrange the 2nd sequence of locks as follows:
qemu_driver, filter, qemu_driver, qemu_domain
and making the qemu driver recursively lockable so that a second lock can occur, this would then lead to the following net-locking sequence
qemu_driver, filter, qemu_domain
where the 2nd qemu_driver lock has been ( logically ) eliminated.
The 2nd part of the idea is that the sequence of locks (filter, qemu_domain) and (qemu_domain, filter) becomes interchangeable if all code paths where filter AND qemu_domain are locked have a preceding qemu_domain lock that basically blocks their concurrent execution
So, the following code paths exist towards qemu_driver:qemudVMFilterRebuild where we now want to put a qemu_driver lock in front of the filter lock.
-> nwfilterUndefine() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTestUnassignDef()
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDefine()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDriverReload()
-> virNWFilterPoolLoadAllConfigs()
->virNWFilterPoolObjLoad()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDriverStartup()
-> virNWFilterPoolLoadAllConfigs()
->virNWFilterPoolObjLoad()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
Qemu is not the only driver using the nwfilter driver, but also the UML driver calls into it. Therefore qemuVMFilterRebuild() can be exchanged with umlVMFilterRebuild() along with the driver lock of qemu_driver that can now be a uml_driver. Further, since UML and Qemu domains can be running on the same machine, the triggering of a rebuild of the filter can touch both types of drivers and their domains.
In the patch below I am now extending each nwfilter callback driver with functions for locking and unlocking the (VM) driver (UML, QEMU) and introduce new functions for locking all registered callback drivers and unlocking them. Then I am distributing the lock-all-cbdrivers/unlock-all-cbdrivers call into the above call paths. The last shown callpath starting with nwfilterDriverStart() is problematic since it is initialize before the Qemu and UML drives are and thus a lock in the path would result in a NULL pointer attempted to be locked -- the call to virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild() is never called, so we never lock either the qemu_driver or the uml_driver in that path. Therefore, only the first 3 paths now receive calls to lock and unlock all callback drivers. Now that the locks are distributed where it matters I can remove the qemu_driver and uml_driver lock from qemudVMFilterRebuild() and umlVMFilterRebuild() and not requiring the recursive locks.
For now I want to put this out as an RFC patch. I have tested it by 'stretching' the critical section after the define/undefine functions each lock the filter so I can (easily) concurrently execute another VM operation (suspend,start). That code is in this patch and if you want you can de-activate it. It seems to work ok and operations are being blocked while the update is being done.
I still also want to verify the other assumption above that locking filter and qemu_domain always has a preceding qemu_driver lock.

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.
I wrote a patch to add support for listing the Vendor and Model of a
storage pool in the storage pool XML. This would allow vendor
extensions of specific devices. The patch includes a test for the new
attributes as well.

This patch fixes a couple of complaints from valgrind when tickling libvirtd with SIGHUP.
The first two files contain fixes for memory leaks. The 3rd one initializes an uninitialized variable. The 4th one is another memory leak.
The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
<memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,
i.e. don't pass the args to qemu/kvm
When parsing hostdev, the following message would be emitted:
10:17:19.052: error : virDomainHostdevDefParseXML:3748 : internal error unknown node alias
However, alias is appropriately parsed in
virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML anyway. Disable the error message
in the initial XML parsing loop.

All <console> devices now export a <target> type attribute. QEMU defaults
to 'serial', UML defaults to 'uml, xen can be either 'serial' or 'xen'
depending on fullvirt. Understandably there is lots of test fallout.
This will be used to differentiate between a serial vs. virtio console for
QEMU.

targetType only tracks the actual <target> format we are parsing. Currently
we only fill abide this value for channel devices.

There is actually a difference between the character device type (serial,
parallel, channel, ...) and the target type (virtio, guestfwd). Currently
they are awkwardly conflated.
Start to pull them apart by renaming targetType -> deviceType. This is
an entirely mechanical change.

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'.
This patch adds namespace XML parsers to be hooked into
the main domain parser. This allows for individual hypervisor
drivers to add per-namespace XML into the main domain XML.
Changes since v1:
- Use a statically declared table for caps->ns, removing the need to
allocate/free it.
Changes since v2:
- None
Changes since v3:
- None

To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device
<memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>
It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.
The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing
and formatting for memballoon device. Always add a memory
balloon device to Xen/QEMU if none exists in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export memballoon model APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Honour the
PCI device address in memory balloon device
* tests/*: Update to test new functionality
Record a default driver name/type in capabilities struct. Use this
when parsing disks if value is not set in XML config.
* src/conf/capabilities.h: Record default driver name/type for disks
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Fallback to default driver name/type
when parsing disks
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Set default driver name/type to raw
There is duplicated code which iterates over disk backing stores
performing some action. Provide a convenient helper for doing
this to eliminate duplication & risk of mistakes with disk format
probing
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefForeachPath()
When autodetecting whether XML describes guest or host CPU, the presence
of <arch> element is checked. If it's present, we treat the XML as host
CPU definition. Which is right, since guest CPU definitions do not
contain <arch> element. However, if at the same time the root <cpu>
element contains `match' attribute, we would silently ignore it and
still treat the XML as host CPU. We should rather refuse such invalid
XML.
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.
The parallel, serial, console and channel devices are all just
character devices. A lot of code needs todo the same thing to
all these devices. This provides an convenient API for iterating
over all of them.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainChrDefForeach
The domain XML parsing code autogenerates disk address and
controller elements when they are not explicitly specified.
The code assumes a narrow SCSI bus (7 units per bus). ESX
uses a wide SCSI bus (16 units per bus).
This is a step towards controller support for the ESX driver.
Following Daniel Berrange's multiple helpful suggestions for improving
this patch and introducing another driver interface, I now wrote the
below patch where the nwfilter driver registers the functions to
instantiate and teardown the nwfilters with a function in
conf/domain_nwfilter.c called virDomainConfNWFilterRegister. Previous
helper functions that were called from qemu_driver.c and qemu_conf.c
were move into conf/domain_nwfilter.h with slight renaming done for
consistency. Those functions now call the function expored by
domain_nwfilter.c, which in turn call the functions of the new driver
interface, if available.
