Historically there was an inconsistency in handling of the
itanium arch. The xen driver & CPU model code treated it
as 'ia64' but the QEMU capabilities code used 'itanium'. On
the grounds that no one has ever seriously used itanium
with QEMU, while RHEL shipped itanium with Xen, we should
favour 'ia64' as the canonical format

When a network device's bridge connection is changed by
virDomainUpdateDevice, libvirt first removes the netdev's tap from its
old bridge, then adds it to the new bridge. Sometimes, due to a
network being destroyed while a guest device is still attached, the
tap may already be "removed" from the old bridge (or the old bridge
may not even exist any more); the existing code was needlessly failing
the update when this happened, making it impossible to recover from
the situation without completely detaching (i.e. removing) the netdev
from the guest and re-attaching.
Instead of failing the entire operation when removal of the tap from
the old bridge fails, this patch changes qemuDomainChangeNetBridge to
just log a warning and continue, allowing a reasonable recover from
the situation.
(you'll appreciate this change if you ever accidentally destroy a
network while your guests are still using it).

This patch adds a new domain lookup helper qemuDomObjFromDomainDriver
that lookups the domain and leaves the driver locked. The driver is
returned as the second argument of that function. If the lookup fails
the driver is unlocked to help avoid cleanup codepaths.
This patch also improves docs for the helpers.
When a qemu domain is backed by huge pages, apparmor needs to grant the domain
rw access to files under the hugetlbfs mount point. Add a hook, called in
qemu_process.c, which ends up adding the read-write access through
virt-aa-helper. Qemu will be creating a randomly named file under the
mountpoint and unlinking it as soon as it has mmap()d it, therefore we
cannot predict the full pathname, but for the same reason it is generally
safe to provide access to $path/**.

This patch exports qemuMigrationIsAllowed and adds a new parameter to it
to denote if it's a remote migration or a local migration. Local
migrations are used in snapshots and saving of the machine state and
have fewer restrictions. This patch also adjusts callers of the function
and tweaks some error messages to be more universal.
Currently there is no way to detect it via QMP and requesting "-sandbox
off" works correctly even if it was compiled out, so this will work
unless someone both requests the sandbox in qemu.conf and builds QEMU
without the support for it.
These classes can borrow unused bandwidth. Basically,
only egress qdsics can have classes, therefore we can
do this kind of traffic shaping only on host's outgoing,
that is domain's incoming traffic.
When the disk snapshot part of an external system checkpoint fails the
memory image is retained. This patch adds code to remove the image in
such case.
In case the snapshot code isn't able to restart CPUs after an external
checkpoint we would leak a copy of the domains XML definition. This
patch fixes the cleanup path.
False positive, but it breaks the build with gcc-4.6.3.
qemu/qemu_migration.c:2931:37: error: 'offline' may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
qemu/qemu_migration.c:2887:10: note: 'offline' was declared here
When restarting CPUs after an external snapshot, the restarting function
was called without the appropriate async job type. This caused that a
new sync job wasn't created and allowed races in the monitor.
Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.
Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).
This fixes a problem that showed up during testing of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881480
Due to a logic error in the function that gets the name of the bridge
an interface connects to, any time a bridge was specified directly
(type='bridge') rather than indirectly (type='network'), An error
would be logged (although the operation would then complete
successfully):
Network type 6 is not supported
The final virReportError() in the function
qemuDomainNetGetBridgeName() was apparently avoided in the past with a
"goto cleanup" at the end of each case, but the case of bridge somehow
no longer has that final goto cleanup.
The proper solution is anyway to not rely on goto's, but put the error
log inside an else {} clause, so that it's executed only if the type
is neither bridge nor network (in reality, this function should only
ever be called for those two types, that's why this is an internal
error).
While making this change, the error message was also tuned to be more
correct (since it's not really the type of the network, but the type
of the interface, and it *is* otherwise supported, it's just that the
interface type in question doesn't *have* a bridge device associated
with it, or at least we don't know how to get it).
If a network interface model is not specified, libvirt will run
into an unchecked NULL pointer coredump. On the other hand if
the empty model is ignored, a PCI bus address would be generated,
which is not supported by S390.
Since the only valid network type model for S390 is virtio,
we use this as the default value, which is the same for QEMU.

Since we can't (currently) rely on the ability to provide blanket
support for all possible network changes by calling the toplevel
netdev hostside disconnect/connect functions (due to qemu only
supporting a lockstep between initialization of host side and guest
side of devices), in order to support live change of an interface's
nwfilter we need to make a special purpose function to only call the
nwfilter teardown and setup functions if the filter for an interface
(or its parameters) changes. The pattern is nearly identical to that
used to change the bridge that an interface is connected to.

Libvirt should not attempt to call a QMP command that has not been
documented in qemu.git - if future qemu introduces a command by the
same name but with subtly different semantics, then libvirt will be
broken when trying to use that command.
We also had some code that could never be reached - some of our
commands have an alternate for new vs. old qemu HMP commands; but
if we are new enough to support QMP, we only need a fallback to
the new HMP counterpart, and don't need to try for a QMP counterpart
for the old HMP version.
See also this attempt to convert the three snapshot commands to QMP:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg01597.html
although it looks like that will still not happen before qemu 1.3.
That thread eventually decided that qemu would use the name
'save-vm' rather than 'savevm', which mitigates the fact that
libvirt's attempt to use a QMP 'savevm' would be broken, but we
might not be as lucky on the other commands.

QMP Capability probing will fail if QEMU cannot bind to the
QMP monitor socket in the qemu_driver->libDir directory.
That's because the child process is stripped of all
capabilities and this directory is chown'ed to the configured
QEMU user/group (normally qemu:qemu) by the QEMU driver.
To prevent this from happening, the driver startup will now pass
the QEMU uid and gid down to the capability probing code.
All capability probing invocations of QEMU will be run with
the configured QEMU uid instead of libvirtd's.
Furter, the pid file handling is moved to libvirt, as QEMU
cannot write to the qemu_driver->runDir (root:root). This also

The actual regression is due to a latent bug. The hot unplug code
was computing the set of files needing cgroup ACL revocation based
on the XML passed in by the user, rather than based on the domain's
details on which disk was being deleted. As long as the revoke
path was always recomputing the backing chain, this didn't really
matter; but now that we want to compute the chain exactly once and
remember that computation, we need to hang on to the backing chain
until after the revoke has happened.

This patch adds a helper to determine if snapshots are external and uses
the helper to fix detection of those in snapshot deletion code.
Snapshots are external if they have an external memory image or if the
disk locations are external. As mixed snapshots are forbidden for now
we need to check just one disk to know.
Currently, if user calls virDomainAbortJob we just issue
'migrate_cancel' and hope for the best. However, if user calls
the API in wrong phase when migration hasn't been started yet
(perform phase) the cancel request is just ignored. With this
patch, the request is remembered and as soon as perform phase
starts, migration is cancelled.
For S390, the default console target type cannot be of type 'serial'.
It is necessary to at least interpret the 'arch' attribute
value of the os/type element to produce the correct default type.
Therefore we need to extend the signature of defaultConsoleTargetType
to account for architecture. As a consequence all the drivers
supporting this capability function must be updated.
Despite the amount of changed files, the only change in behavior is
that for S390 the default console target type will be 'virtio'.
N.B.: A more future-proof approach could be to to use hypervisor
specific capabilities to determine the best possible console type.
For instance one could add an opaque private data pointer to the
virCaps structure (in case of QEMU to hold capsCache) which could
then be passed to the defaultConsoleTargetType callback to determine
the console target type.
Seems to be however a bit overengineered for the use case...

When the libvirt daemon is restarted it tries to reconnect to running
qemu domains. Since commit d38897a5d4 the
re-connection code runs in separate threads. In the original
implementation the maximum of domain ID's (that is used as an
initializer for numbering guests created next) while libvirt was
reconnecting to the guest.
With the threaded implementation this opens a possibility for race
conditions with the thread that is autostarting guests. When there's a
guest running with id 1 and the daemon is restarted. The autostart code
is reached first and spawns the first guest that should be autostarted
as id 1. This results into the following unwanted situation:
# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
1 guest1 running
1 guest2 running
This patch extracts the detection code before the re-connection threads
are started so that the maximum id of the guests being reconnected to is
known.
The only semantic change created by this is if the guest with greatest ID
quits before we are able to reconnect it's ID is used anyway as the
greatest one as without this patch the greatest ID of a process we could
successfuly reconnect to would be used.
This patch adds support for external disk snapshots of inactive domains.
The snapshot is created by calling using qemu-img by calling:
qemu-img create -f format_of_snapshot -o
backing_file=/path/to/src,backing_fmt=format_of_backing_image
/path/to/snapshot
in case the backing image format is known or probing is allowed and
otherwise:
qemu-img create -f format_of_snapshot -o backing_file=/path/to/src
/path/to/snapshot
on each of the disks selected for snapshotting. This patch also modifies
the snapshot preparing function to support creating external snapshots
and to sanitize arguments. For now the user isn't able to mix external
and internal snapshots but this restriction might be lifted in the
future.
Some operations, APIs needs domain to be paused prior operation can be
performed, e.g. (managed-) save of a domain. The processors should be
restored in the end. However, if 'cont' fails for some reason, we log a
message but this is not sufficient as an event should be emitted as
well. Mgmt application can then decide what to do.
The code that was split out into the qemuDomainSaveMemory expands the
pointer containing the XML description of the domain that it gets from
higher layers. If the pointer changes the old one is invalid and the
upper layer function tries to free it causing an abort.
This patch changes the expansion of the original string to a new
allocation and copy of the contents.
qemu is sensitive to the order of arguments passed. Hence, if a
device requires a controller, the controller cmd string must
precede device cmd string. The same apply for controllers, when
for instance ccid controller requires usb controller. So
controllers create partial ordering in which they should be added
to qemu cmd line.
Some of the pre-snapshot check have restrictions wired in regarding
configuration options that influence taking of external checkpoints.
This patch removes restrictions that would inhibit taking of such a
snapshot.
This patch adds support to take external system checkpoints.
The functionality is layered on top of the previous disk-only snapshot
code. When the checkpoint is requested the domain memory is saved to the
memory image file using migration to file. (The user may specify to
take the memory image while the guest is live with the
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE flag.)
The memory save image shares format with the image created by
virDomainSave() API.
Before now, libvirt supported only internal snapshots for active guests.
This patch renames this function to qemuDomainSnapshotCreateActiveInternal
to prepare the grounds for external active snapshots.
The new external system checkpoints will require an async job while the
snapshot is taken. This patch adds QEMU_ASYNC_JOB_SNAPSHOT to track this
job type.
The code that saves domain memory by migration to file can be reused
while doing external checkpoints of a machine. This patch extracts the
common code and places it in a separate function.
When pausing the guest while migration is running (to speed up
convergence) the virDomainSuspend API checks if the migration job is
active before entering the job. This could cause a possible race if the
virDomainSuspend is called while the job is active but ends before the
Suspend API enters the job (this would require that the migration is
aborted). This would cause a incorrect event to be emitted.
Both system checkpoint snapshots and disk snapshots were iterating
over all disks, doing a final sanity check before doing any work.
But since future patches will allow offline snapshots to be either
external or internal, it makes sense to share the pass over all
disks, and then relax restrictions in that pass as new modes are
implemented. Future patches can then handle external disks when
the domain is offline, then handle offline --disk-snapshot, and
finally, combine with migration to file to gain a complete external
system checkpoint snapshot of an active domain without using 'savevm'.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepare)
(qemuDomainSnapshotIsAllowed): Merge...
(qemuDomainSnapshotPrepare): ...into one function.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Update caller.
Now that the XML supports listing internal snapshots, it is worth
always populating the <memory> and <disks> element to match.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Always
parse disk info and set memory info.
