A few things have changed in the VirtualBox API - some small
(capitalizations of things in function names like Ip to IP
and Dhcp to DHCP) and some much larger (FindMedium is superceded
by OpenMedium). The biggest change for the sake of this patch
is the signature of CreateMachine is quite a bit different. Using
the Oracle source as a guide, to spin up a VM with a given UUID,
it looks like a text flag has to be passed in a new argument to
CreateMachine. This flag is built in the VirtualBox 4.2 specific
ifdefs and is kind of ugly but works. Additionally, there is now
(unused) VM groups support in CreateMachine and the previous
'osTypeId' arg is currently set to nsnull as in the Oracle code.
The FindMedium to OpenMedium changes were more straightforward
and are pretty clear. The rest of the vbox template changes are
basically spelling/capitalization changes from the looks of things.

iscsiadm now supports specifying hostnames in the portal argument [1]
Instead of resolving the hostname to a single IPv4 address, pass the
hostname to isciadm, allowing IPv6 targets to work.

Though both libvirt and QEMU's document say RTC_CHANGE returns
the offset from the host UTC, qemu actually returns the offset
from the specified date instead when specific date is provided
(-rtc base=$date).
It's not safe for qemu to fix it in code, it worked like that
for 3 years, changing it now may break other QEMU use cases.
What qemu tries to do is to fix the document:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-05/msg04782.html
And in libvirt side, instead of replying on the value from qemu,
this converts the offset returned from qemu to the offset from
host UTC, by:
/*
* a: the offset from qemu RTC_CHANGE event
* b: The specified date (-rtc base=$date)
* c: the host date when libvirt gets the RTC_CHANGE event
* offset: What libvirt will report
*/
offset = a + (b - c);
The specified date (-rtc base=$date) is recorded in clock's def as
an internal only member (may be useful to exposed outside?).
Internal only XML tag "basetime" is introduced to not lose the
guest's basetime after libvirt restarting/reloading:
<clock offset='variable' adjustment='304' basis='utc' basetime='1370423588'/>
Setting of local variables in virStorageBackendCreateQemuImgCmd was
unnecessarily cluttered with ternary operators and repeated testing of
of conditions.
This patch refactors the function to use if statements and improves
error reporting in case inputvol is specified but does not contain
target path. Previously we would complain about "unknown storage vol
type 0" instead of the actual problem.
After fixing an invalid usage of virDomainNetDef in OpenVZ driver,
a coverage issue appeared. This was caused by a still invalid usage
of net->data.ethernet.dev for non ethernet networking.
Currently, a listen address for a SPICE server can be specified. Later,
when the domain is migrated, we need to relocate the graphics which
involves telling new destination to the SPICE server. However, we can't
just assume the listen address is the new location, because the listen
address can be ANYCAST (0.0.0.0 for IPv4, :: for IPv6). In which case,
we want to pass the remote hostname. But there are some troubles with
ANYCAST. In both IPv4 and IPv6 it has many ways for specifying such
address. For instance, in IPv4: 0, 0.0, 0.0.0, 0.0.0.0. The number of
variations gets bigger in IPv6 world. Hence, in order to check for
ANYCAST address sanely, we should take the provided listen address,
parse it and format back in it's full form. Which is exactly what this
patch does.
Such as on FreeBSD. Broken in commit aa2a4cff7.

By default files in a FUSE mount can only be accessed by the
user which created them, even if the file permissions would
otherwise allow it. To allow other users to access the FUSE
mount the 'allow_other' mount option must be used. This bug
prevented non-root users in an LXC container from reading
the /proc/meminfo file.

If the creation of the commandline failed, libvirt always reported "out
of memory" from the virCommandToString function rather than the proper
error that happened in virStorageBackendCreateQemuImgCmd. Error out
earlier.
As the document for "virsh-resize" says:
<...>
Attempts to shrink the volume will fail unless I<--shrink> is present;
</...>
This makes sense as it at least prevent the user shrinking the important
data of volume without a notice.
The document for "vol-resize" says the new capacity will be sparse
unless "--allocate" is specified, however, the "--allocate" flag
is never implemented. This implements the "--allocate" flag for
fs backend's raw type volume, based on posix_fallocate and the
syscall SYS_fallocate.
The work was done at the time of snapshot xmlstring parsing
if (offline && def->memory &&
def->memory != VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LOCATION_NONE) {
virReportError(...);
}

This is a patch addressing the coredump.
Thread 1 must be calling nwfilterDriverRemoveDBusMatches(). It does so with
nwfilterDriverLock held. In the patch below I am now moving the
nwfilterDriverLock(driverState) further up so that the initialization, which
seems to either take a long time or is entirely stuck, occurs with the lock
held and the shutdown cannot occur at the same time.
Remove the lock in virNWFilterDriverIsWatchingFirewallD to avoid
double-locking.
OpenVZ was accessing ethernet data to obtain the guest iface name
regardless the domain is configured to use ethernet or bridged
networking. This prevented the guest network interface to be rightly
named for bridged networking.
Our documentation says a pool may be referenced by its name or UUID
anywhere if it makes sense (pool-name and pool-uuid are the only
exceptions). However, vol-create and vol-create-as commands did not obey
this.
The RPC limits for cpu maps didn't allow to use libvirt on ultra big
boxes. This patch increases size of the limits to support a maximum of
16384 cpus on the host with a maximum of 4096 cpus per guest.
The full cpu map of such a system takes 8 megabytes and the map for
vcpu pinning is 2 kilobytes long.
Our configure.ac says:
Not all versions of gnutls include -lgcrypt, and so we add
it explicitly for the calls to gcry_control/check_version
Thus we cannot rely on gnutls-devel to bring grcypt-devel as a
dependency.
With unknown good reasons, the attribute "bus" of scsi device
address is always set to 0, same for attribute "target". (See
virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress).
Though we might need to change the algorithm to honor "bus"
and "target" too, that's a different issue. The address generator
for scsi host device in this patch just follows the unknown
good reasons, only considering the "controller" and "unit".
It walks through all scsi controllers and their units, to see
if the address $controller:0:0:$unit can be used (if not used
by any disk or scsi host device yet), if found one, it sits on
it, otherwise, it creates a new controller (actually the controller
is implicitly created by someone else), and sits on
$new_controller:0:0:0 instead.
This should resolve:

The problem was that qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs was returning 0
(success) when no hostdevs were present, but would otherwise return -1
(failure) even when it completed successfully. It is only called from
qemuProcessReconnect(), and when qemuProcessReconnect got back an
error, it would not only stop reconnecting, but would terminate the
guest qemu process "to remove danger of it ending up running twice if
user tries to start it again later".
(This bug was introduced in commit 011cf7ad, which was pushed between
v1.0.2 and v1.0.3, so all maintenance branches from v1.0.3 up to 1.0.5
will need this one line patch applied.)
