Let's check to ensure we can find the Partition Table in the label
and that libvirt actually recognizes that type; otherwise, when we
go to read the partitions during a refresh operation we may not be
reading what we expect.
This will expand upon the types of errors or reason that a build
would fail, so we can create more direct error messages.
Modify virStorageBackendDiskValidLabel to add a 'writelabel' parameter.
While initially for the purpose of determining whether the label should
be written during DiskBuild, a future use during DiskStart could determine
whether the pool should be started using the label found. Augment the
error messages also to give a hint as to what someone may need to do
or why the command failed.
Create a new function virStorageBackendDiskValidLabel to handle checking
whether there is a label on the device and whether it's valid or not.
While initially for the purpose of determining whether the label can be
overwritten during DiskBuild, a future use during DiskStart could determine
whether the pool should be started using the label found.

Although perhaps bordering on a don't do that type scenario, if
someone creates a volume in a pool outside of libvirt, then uses that
same name to create a volume in the pool via libvirt, then the creation
will fail and in some cases cause the same name volume to be deleted.
This patch will refresh the pool just prior to checking whether the
named volume exists prior to creating the volume in the pool. While
it's still possible to have a timing window to create a file after the
check - at least we tried. At that point, someone is being malicious.
As it turns out the caller in this case expects a return < 0 for failure
and to get/use "errno" rather than using the negative of returned status.
Again different than the create path.
If someone "deleted" a file from the pool without using virsh vol-delete,
then the unlink/rmdir would return an error (-1) and set errno to ENOENT.
The caller checks errno for ENOENT when determining whether to throw an
error message indicating the failure. Without the change, the error
message is:
error: Failed to delete vol $vol
error: cannot unlink file '/$pathto/$vol': Success
This patch thus allows the fork path to follow the non-fork path
where unlink/rmdir return -1 and errno.
Unlike create options, if the file to be removed is already in the
pool, then the uid/gid will come from the pool. If it's the same as the
currently running process, then just do the unlink/rmdir directly
rather than going through the fork processing unnecessarily
qemu-kvm can be used to run ppc64 guests on ppc64le hosts and vice
versa, since the hardware is actually the same and the endianness
is chosen by the guest kernel.
Up until now, however, libvirt didn't allow the use of qemu-kvm
to run guests if their endianness didn't match the host's.

Commit 792f81a40e caused a regression in the libssh2 host key
verification code by changing the variable type of 'i' to unsigned.
Since one of the loops used -1 as a special value if the asking
callback was found the conversion made a subsequent test always fail.
The bug was stealth enough to pass review, compilers and coverity.
Refactor the condition to avoid problems.

Since we'd disallow migration of a guest that would have possibly
invalid config but still be able to work, relax the WWN check to be
performed only on new starts of the VM.
If a system has a large number of active or active interfaces, it can
be a big waste of time to retrieve and qualify all interfaces if the
caller only wanted one subset. Since netcf has a simple flag for this,
translate the libvirt flag into a netcf flag and let netcf pre-filter.
Getting the MAC address of an interface is actually fairly expensive,
and we've already gotten it and stored it into def, so just keep def
around a bit longer and retrieve it from there.
This reduces the time for "virsh iface-list --all" from 28 to 23
seconds when there are 400 interfaces.
The spec for virConnectListAllInterfaces says that if the pointer that
is supposed to hold the list of interfaces is NULL, the function
should just return the count of interfaces that matched the filter,
but the code never increments the count if the list pointer is NULL.

We are using memory-backing-file even when it's not needed, for example
if user requests hugepages for memory backing, but does not specify any
pagesize or memory node pinning. This causes migrations to fail when
migrating from older libvirt that did not do this. So similarly to
commit 7832fac847 which does it for
memory-backend-ram, this commit makes is more generic and
backend-agnostic, so the backend is not used if there is no specific
pagesize of hugepages requested, no nodeset the memory node should be
bound to, no memory access change required, and so on.

So since the introduction of the memory-backend-file object until now we
only added '-mem-path' for non-NUMA guests and we used the parameters of
the memory-backend-file object to specify the path to the hugetlbfs
mount. But hugepages can be also used without memory-backend-file
object, as it used to be before its introduction. Let's just get this
part of the code back and properly append the '-mem-path' for NUMA
guests as well, but only when the memory backend is not needed.
This parameter is already being applied when no numa is requested and
because we still use memory-object-file unconditionally for
hugepage-backed NUMA guests, this should not fire until later.

That function is called qemuBuildMemPathStr() and will be used in
other places in the future. The change in the test suite is proper due
to the fact that -mem-prealloc makes only sense with -mem-path (from

Support for GICv3 has been recently introduced in qemu using gic-version
option for the 'virt' machine. The option can actually take values of
'2', '3' and 'host', however, since in libvirt this is a numeric
parameter, we limit it only to 2 and 3. Value of 2 is not added to the
command line in order to keep backward compatibility with older qemu
versions.

Since commit e0139e3, we update the pool allocation with
the user-provided allocation values.
For qcow2, the allocation is ignored for volume building,
but we still subtracted it from pool's allocation.
This can result in interesting values if the user-provided
allocation is large enough:
Capacity: 104.71 GiB
Allocation: 109.13 GiB
Available: 16.00 EiB
We already do a VolRefresh on volume creation. Also refresh
the volume after creating and use the new value to update the pool.

Commit id '7383b8cc' changed virDomainDef 'virtType' to an enum, that
caused a build failure on some archs due to comparing an unsigned value
to < 0. Adjust the fetch of 'type' to be into temporary 'int virtType'
and then assign that virtType to the def->virtType
Introduce VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_NONE to give domaintype the default value of zero.
This is specially helpful in constructing better error messages
when we don't want to look up the default emulator by virtType.
The test data in vircapstest.c is also modified to reflect this change.
So, our mingw build is broken. It's because while libvirt_shell
library is using some of our internal APIs, e.g. virStrndup, and
readline API but it's not being linked with nor libvirt.la nor
libreadline. Only subsequent users of the library, like virsh,
do link to the needed libraries. In fact, I'm surprised Linux
linker doesn't care, because how can it make a static library
with missing symbols is mystery to me.

As of commit 6992994, we set graphics/@listen attribute according to the
first listen child element even if that element is of type='network'.
This was done for backward compatibility with applications which only
support the original listen attribute. However, by doing so we broke
migration to older libvirt which tried to check that the listen
attribute matches one of the listen child elements but which did not
take type='network' elements into account.
We are not concerned about compatibility with old applications when
formatting domain XML for migration for two reasons. The XML is consumed
only by libvirtd and the IP address associated with type='network'
listen address on the source host is just useless on the destination
host. Thus, we can safely avoid propagating the type='network' IP
address to graphics/@listen attribute when creating migratable XML.

This seemed to be more of a false positive as for some reason Coverity
was missing the "ret < 0" goto error condition and somehow believing that
event could be overwritten. At first I thought it was just the ret != 0
condition difference, but it wasn't.
In any case, make use of the recent change to qemuDomainEventQueue to
check event == NULL and just pass it as a parameter directly in the
error path. That avoids the error.

So, you want to create a domain from XML. The domain already
exists in libvirt's database of domains. It's okay, because name
and UUID matches. However, on domain startup, internal
representation of the domain is overwritten with your XML even
though we claim that the XML you've provided is a transient one.
The bug is to be found across nearly all the drivers.
Le sigh.

Okay, so we allow users to 'virsh create' an already existing
domain, providing completely different XML than the one stored in
Libvirt. Well, as long as name and UUID matches. However, in some
drivers the code that handles errors unconditionally removes the
domain that failed to start even though the domain might have
been persistent. Fortunately, the domain is removed just from the
internal list of domains and the config file is kept around.
Steps to reproduce:
1) virsh dumpxml $dom > /tmp/dom.xml
2) change XML so that it is still parse-able but won't boot, e.g.
change guest agent path to /foo/bar
3) virsh create /tmp/dom.xml
4) virsh dumpxml $dom
5) Observe "No such domain" error
