The LXC controller code currently directly invokes the
libvirt main loop code. The problem is that this misses
the cleanup of virNetServerClient connections that
virNetServerRun takes care of.
The result is that when libvirtd is stopped, the

When libvirtd is then started again, it fails to connect

The reported problem is that an attempt to restore a saved domain that
was configured with <currentMemory> and <memory> set to some (same for
both) number that's not a multiple of 4096KiB results in an error like
this:
error: Failed to start domain libvirt_test_api
error: XML error: current memory '4001792k' exceeds maximum '4000768k'
(in this case, currentMemory was set to 4000000KiB).
The reason for this failure is:
1) a saved image contains the "live xml" of the domain at the time of
the save.
2) the live xml of a running domain gets its currentMemory
(a.k.a. cur_balloon) directly from the qemu monitor rather than from
the configuration of the domain.
3) the value reported by qemu is (sometimes) not exactly what was
originally given to qemu when the domain was started, but is rounded
up to [some indeterminate granularity] - in some versions of qemu that
granularity is apparently 1MiB, and in others it is 4MiB.
4) When the XML is parsed to setup the state of the restored domain,
the XML parser for <currentMemory> compares it to <memory> (which is
the maximum allowed memory size for the domain) and if <currentMemory>
is greater than the next 1024KiB boundary above <memory>, it spits out
an error and fails.
For example (from the BZ) if you start qemu on RHEL6 with both
<currentMemory> and <memory> of 4000000 (this number is in KiB),
libvirt's dominfo or dumpxml will report "4001792" back (rounded up to
next 4MiB) for 10-20 seconds after the start, then revert to reporting
"4000000". On Fedora 16 (which uses qemu-1.0), it will instead report
"4000768" (rounded up to next 1MiB). On Fedora 17 (qemu-1.2), it seems
to always report "4000000". ("4000000" is of course okay, and
"4000768" is also okay since that's the next 1024KiB boundary above
"4000000" and the parser was already allowing for that. But "4001792
is *not* okay and produces the error message.)
This patch solves the problem by changing the allowed "fudge factor"
when parsing from 1024KiB to 4096KiB to match the maximum up-rounding
that could be done in qemu.
(I had earlier thought to fix this by up-rounding <memory> in the
dumpxml that's put into the saved image, but that wouldn't have fixed
the case where the save image was produced by an "unfixed"
libvirtd.)

Currently, when we are doing (managed) save, we insert the
iohelper between the qemu and OS. The pipe is created, the
writing end is passed to qemu and the reading end to the
iohelper. It reads data and write them into given file. However,
with write() being asynchronous data may still be in OS
caches and hence in some (corner) cases, all migration data
may have been read and written (not physically though). So
qemu will report success, as well as iohelper. However, with
some non local filesystems, where ENOSPACE is polled every X
time units, we may get into situation where all operations
succeeded but data hasn't reached the disk. And in fact will
never do. Therefore we ought sync caches to make sure data
has reached the block device on remote host.

This patch resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871201
If libvirt is restarted after updating the dnsmasq or radvd packages,
a subsequent "virsh net-destroy" will fail to kill the dnsmasq/radvd
process.
The problem is that when libvirtd restarts, it re-reads the dnsmasq
and radvd pidfiles, then does a sanity check on each pid it finds,
including checking that the symbolic link in /proc/$pid/exe actually
points to the same file as the path used by libvirt to execute the
binary in the first place. If this fails, libvirt assumes that the
process is no longer alive.
But if the original binary has been replaced, the link in /proc is set
to "$binarypath (deleted)" (it literally has the string " (deleted)"
appended to the link text stored in the filesystem), so even if a new
binary exists in the same location, attempts to resolve the link will
fail.
In the end, not only is the old dnsmasq/radvd not terminated when the
network is stopped, but a new dnsmasq can't be started when the
network is later restarted (because the original process is still
listening on the ports that the new process wants).
The solution is, when the initial "use stat to check for identical
inodes" check for identity between /proc/$pid/exe and $binpath fails,
to check /proc/$pid/exe for a link ending with " (deleted)" and if so,
truncate that part of the link and compare what's left with the
original binarypath.
A twist to this problem is that on systems with "merged" /sbin and
/usr/sbin (i.e. /sbin is really just a symlink to /usr/sbin; Fedora
17+ is an example of this), libvirt may have started the process using
one path, but /proc/$pid/exe lists a different path (indeed, on F17
this is the case - libvirtd uses /sbin/dnsmasq, but /proc/$pid/exe
shows "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq"). The further bit of code to resolve this is
to call virFileResolveAllLinks() on both the original binarypath and
on the truncated link we read from /proc/$pid/exe, and compare the
results.
The resulting code still succeeds in all the same cases it did before,
but also succeeds if the binary was deleted or replaced after it was
started.

These three functions:
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName
virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev
virDomainNetGetActualDirectMode
return attributes that are in a union whose contents are interpreted
differently depending on the actual->type and so they should only
return non-0 when actual->type is 'bridge' (in the first case) or
'direct' (in the other two cases, but I had neglected to do that, so
...DirectDev() was returning bridge.brname (which happens to share the
same spot in the union with direct.linkdev) if actual->type was
'bridge', and ...BridgeName was returning direct.linkdev when
actual->type was 'direct'.
How does this involve Bug 881480 (which was about the inability to
switch between two networks that both have "<forward mode='bridge'/>
<bridge name='xxx'/>"? Whenever the return value of
virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev() for the new and old network
definitions doesn't match, qemuDomainChangeNet() requires a "complete
reconnect" of the device, which qemu currently doesn't
support. ...DirectDev() *should* have been returning NULL for old and
new, but was instead returning the old and new bridge names, which
differ.
(The other two functions weren't causing any behavioral problems in
virDomainChangeNet(), but their problem and fix was identical, so I
included them in this same patch).

This bug resolves CVE-2012-3411, which is described in the following
bugzilla report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833033
The following report is specifically for libvirt on Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874702
In short, a dnsmasq instance run with the intention of listening for
DHCP/DNS requests only on a libvirt virtual network (which is
constructed using a Linux host bridge) would also answer queries sent
from outside the virtualization host.
This patch takes advantage of a new dnsmasq option "--bind-dynamic",
which will cause the listening socket to be setup such that it will
only receive those requests that actually come in via the bridge
interface. In order for this behavior to actually occur, not only must
"--bind-interfaces" be replaced with "--bind-dynamic", but also all
"--listen-address" options must be replaced with a single
"--interface" option. Fully:
--bind-interfaces --except-interface lo --listen-address x.x.x.x ...
(with --listen-address possibly repeated) is replaced with:
--bind-dynamic --interface virbrX
Of course libvirt can't use this new option if the host's dnsmasq
doesn't have it, but we still want libvirt to function (because the
great majority of libvirt installations, which only have mode='nat'
networks using RFC1918 private address ranges (e.g. 192.168.122.0/24),
are immune to this vulnerability from anywhere beyond the local subnet
of the host), so we use the new dnsmasqCaps API to check if dnsmasq
supports the new option and, if not, we use the "old" option style
instead. In order to assure that this permissiveness doesn't lead to a
vulnerable system, we do check for non-private addresses in this case,
and refuse to start the network if both a) we are using the old-style
options, and b) the network has a publicly routable IP
address. Hopefully this will provide the proper balance of not being
disruptive to those not practically affected, and making sure that
those who *are* affected get their dnsmasq upgraded.
(--bind-dynamic was added to dnsmasq in upstream commit
54dd393f3938fc0c19088fbd319b95e37d81a2b0, which was included in
dnsmasq-2.63)
This new function returns true if the given address is in the range of
any "private" or "local" networks as defined in RFC1918 (IPv4) or
RFC3484/RFC4193 (IPv6), otherwise they return false.
These ranges are:
192.168.0.0/16
172.16.0.0/16
10.0.0.0/24
FC00::/7
FEC0::/10
In order to optionally take advantage of new features in dnsmasq when
the host's version of dnsmasq supports them, but still be able to run
on hosts that don't support the new features, we need to be able to
detect the version of dnsmasq running on the host, and possibly
determine from the help output what options are in this dnsmasq.
This patch implements a greatly simplified version of the capabilities
code we already have for qemu. A dnsmasqCaps device can be created and
populated either from running a program on disk, reading a file with
the concatenated output of "dnsmasq --version; dnsmasq --help", or
examining a buffer in memory that contains the concatenated output of
those two commands. Simple functions to retrieve capabilities flags,
the version number, and the path of the binary are also included.
bridge_driver.c creates a single dnsmasqCaps object at driver startup,
and disposes of it at driver shutdown. Any time it must be used, the
dnsmasqCapsRefresh method is called - it checks the mtime of the
binary, and re-runs the checks if the binary has changed.
networkxml2argvtest.c creates 2 "artificial" dnsmasqCaps objects at
startup - one "restricted" (doesn't support --bind-dynamic) and one
"full" (does support --bind-dynamic). Some of the test cases use one
and some the other, to make sure both code pathes are tested.
When libvirt cannot find a suitable CPU model for host CPU (easily
reproducible by running libvirt in a guest), it would not provide CPU
topology in capabilities XML either. Even though CPU topology is known
and can be queried by virNodeGetInfo. With this patch, CPU topology will
always be provided in capabilities XML regardless on the presence of CPU
model.

networkValidate was supposed to check for the existence of multiple
portgroups and report an error if this was encountered. It did, but
there were two problems:
1) even though it logged an error, it still returned success, allowing
the operation to continue.
2) It could exit the portgroup checking loop early (or possibly not
even do it once) if a vlan tag was supplied in the base network config
or one of the portgroups.
This patch fixes networkValidate to return failure in addition to
logging the error, and also changes it to not exit the portgroup
checking loop early. The logic was a bit off in the checking for vlan
anyway, and it's intertwined with fixing the early loop exit, so I
fixed that as well. Now it correctly checks for combinations where a
<virtualport> is specified in the base network def and <vlan> is given
in a portgroup, as well as the opposite (<vlan> in base network def
and <virtualport> in portgroup), and ignores the case of a disallowed
vlan when using *no* portgroup if there is a default portgroup (since
in that case there is no way to not use any portgroup).

Previously, the dnsmasq hosts file (used for static dhcp entries, and

to put in them at the time the network was started. Once we can update

virNetworkUpdate), this is no longer a valid strategy - if there were
0 dhcp static hosts (resulting in no reference to the hosts file on the

linked dnsmasq up to the file, so even though we create it, dnsmasq
doesn't pay any attention.
The solution is to just always create these files and reference them
on the dnsmasq commandline (almost always, anyway). That way dnsmasq
can notice when a new entry is added at runtime (a SIGHUP is sent to
dnsmasq by virNetworkUdpate whenever a host entry is added or removed)
The exception to this is that the dhcp static hosts file isn't created
if there are no lease ranges *and* no static hosts. This is because in
this case dnsmasq won't be setup to listen for dhcp requests anyway -
in that case, if the count of dhcp hosts goes from 0 to 1, dnsmasq
will need to be restarted anyway (to get it listening on the dhcp
port). Likewise, if the dhcp hosts count goes from 1 to 0 (and there
are no dhcp ranges) we need to restart dnsmasq so that it will stop
listening on port 67. These special situations are handled in the
bridge driver's networkUpdate() by checking for ((bool)
nranges||nhosts) both before and after the update, and triggering a
dnsmasq restart if the before and after don't match.

pointed out a crash due to virNetworkObjAssignDef free'ing
network->newDef without NULLing it afterward. A fix for this is in
upstream commit b7e9202401ebaa039b8f05acdefda8c24081537a. While the
NULLing of newDef was a legitimate fix, newDef should have already
been empty (NULL) anyway (as indicated in the comment that was deleted
by that commit).
The reason that newDef had a non-NULL value (i.e. the root cause) was
that networkStartNetwork() had failed after populating
network->newDef, but then neglected to free/NULL newDef in the
cleanup.
(A bit of background here: network->newDef should contain the
persistent config of a network when a network is active (and of course
only when it is persisten), and NULL at all other times. There is also
a network->def which should contain the persistent definition of the
network when it is inactive, and the current live state at all other
times. The idea is that you can make changes to network->newDef which
will take effect the next time the network is restarted, but won't
mess with the current state of the network (virDomainObj has a similar
pair of virDomainDefs that behave in the same fashion). Personally I
think there should be a network->live and network->config, and the
location of the persistent config should *always* be in
network->config, but that's for a later cleanup).
Since I love things to be symmetric, I created a new function called
virNetworkObjUnsetDefTransient(), which reverses the effects of
virNetworkObjSetDefTransient(). I don't really like the name of the
new function, but then I also didn't really like the name of the old
one either (it's just named that way to match a similar function in
the domain conf code).
