With an additional new bool added to determine whether or not to
discourage the use of the supplied MAC address by the bridge itself,
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort had three booleans (well, 2 bools and
an int used as a bool) in the arg list, which made it increasingly
difficult to follow what was going on. This patch combines those three
into a single flags arg, which not only shortens the arg list, but
makes it more self-documenting.
When a tap device for a domain is created and attached to a bridge,
the first byte of the tap device MAC address is set to 0xFE, while the
rest is set to match the MAC address that will be presented to the
guest as its network device MAC address. Setting this high value in
the tap's MAC address discourages the bridge from using the tap
device's MAC address as the bridge's own MAC address (Linux bridges
always take on the lowest numbered MAC address of all attached devices
as their own).
In one case within libvirt, a tap device is created and attached to
the bridge with the intent that its MAC address be taken on by the
bridge as its own (this is used to assure that the bridge has a fixed
MAC address to prevent network outages created by the bridge MAC
address "flapping" as guests are started and stopped). In this case,
the first byte of the mac address is *not* altered to 0xFE.
In the current code, callers to virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort each
make the MAC address modification themselves before calling, which
leads to code duplication, and also prevents lower level functions
from knowing the real MAC address being used by the guest. The problem
here is that openvswitch bridges must be informed about this MAC
address, or they will be unable to pass traffic to/from the guest.
This patch centralizes the location of the MAC address "0xFE fixup"
into virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), meaning 1) callers of this
function no longer need the extra strange bit of code, and 2)
bitNetDevTapCreateBridgeInPort itself now is called with the guest's
unaltered MAC address, and can pass it on, unmodified, to
virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort.
There is no other behavioral change created by this patch.
No thanks to 64-bit windows, with 64-bit pid_t, we have to avoid
constructs like 'int pid'. Our API in libvirt-qemu cannot be
changed without breaking ABI; but then again, libvirt-qemu can
only be used on systems that support UNIX sockets, which rules
out Windows (even if qemu could be compiled there) - so for all
points on the call chain that interact with this API decision,
we require a different variable name to make it clear that we
audited the use for safety.
Adding a syntax-check rule only solves half the battle; anywhere
that uses printf on a pid_t still needs to be converted, but that

It's possible to disable SPICE TLS in qemu.conf. When this happens,
libvirt ignores any SPICE TLS port or x509 directory that may have
been set when it builds the qemu command line to use. However, it's
not ignoring the secure channels that may have been set and adds
tls-channel arguments to qemu command line.
Current qemu versions don't report an error when this happens, and try to use
TLS for the specified channels.
Before this patch
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>auto-tls-port</name>
<memory>65536</memory>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>

<listen type='address' address='0'/>
<channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
<channel name='inputs' mode='secure'/>
</graphics>
</devices>
</domain>
generates
-spice port=5900,addr=0,disable-ticketing,tls-channel=main,tls-channel=inputs
and starts QEMU.
After this patch, an error is reported if a TLS port is set in the XML
or if secure channels are specified but TLS is disabled in qemu.conf.
This is the behaviour the oVirt people (where I spotted this issue) said
they would expect.
This fixes bug #790436
In case libvirtd cannot detect host CPU model (which may happen if it
runs inside a virtual machine), the daemon is likely to segfault when
starting a new qemu domain. It segfaults when domain XML asks for host
(either model or passthrough) CPU or does not ask for any specific CPU
model at all.
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.
Fix tests to pass with this change.

This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562
Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).
One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.
In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:
<hostdev>
...
<rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
...
</hostdev
(similarly for <interface>).
When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.
After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).
To help consolidate the commonality between virDomainHostdevDef and
virDomainNetDef into as few members as possible (and because I
think it makes sense), this patch moves the rombar and bootIndex
members into the "info" member that is common to both (and to all the
other structs that use them).
It's a bit problematic that this gives rombar and bootIndex to many
device types that don't use them, but this is already the case for the
master and mastertype members of virDomainDeviceInfo, and is properly
commented as such in the definition.
Note that this opens the door to supporting rombar for other devices
that are attached to the guest PCI bus - virtio-blk-pci,
virtio-net-pci, various other network adapters - which which have that
capability in qemu, but previously had no support in libvirt.
QEMU supports a bunch of CPUID features that are tied to the kvm CPUID
nodes rather than the processor's. They are "kvmclock",
"kvm_nopiodelay", "kvm_mmu", "kvm_asyncpf". These are not known to
libvirt and their CPUID leaf might move if (for example) the Hyper-V
extensions are enabled. Hence their handling would anyway require some
special-casing.
However, among these the most useful is kvmclock; an additional
"property" of this feature is that a <timer> element is a better model
than a CPUID feature. Although, creating part of the -cpu command-line
from something other than the <cpu> XML element introduces some
ugliness.

Direct boot (using kernel, initrd, and command line) is used by

no direct effect since -kernel is always first, we need it as a hint for
SeaBIOS to present disks in the same order as they will be presented
during normal boot.
There was missing capability for blkiotune and thus specifying these
settings caused libvirt to run qemu with invalid parameters and then
reporting qemu error instead of the standard libvirt one. The support
for blkiotune setting was added in upstream qemu repo under commit
0563e191516289c9d2f282a8c50f2eecef2fa773.
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

In the past we didn't reserve 0:0:2.0 PCI address if there was no video
device assigned to a domain, which made it impossible to add a video
device later on. So we fixed it (commit v0.9.0-37-g7b2cac1) by always
reserving that address. However, that breaks existing domains without
video devices that already have another device assigned to the
problematic address.
This patch reserves address 0:0:2.0 only in case it was not explicitly
assigned to another device, which means libvirt will try to keep this
address free and will not automatically assign it new devices. But
existing domains for which older libvirt already assigned the address to
a non-video device will keep working as they used to work before 0.9.1.
Moreover, users who want to create a domain without a video device and
use its address for another device may do so by explicitly configuring
the PCI address in domain XML.
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
We can't call qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() from test code, because it
expects to be able to call the emulator, and for testing we have fake
emulators that can't be executed. For that reason qemuxml2argvtest.c
doesn't call qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses(), instead it open codes its
own version.
That means we can't call qemuDomainAssignAddresses() from the test code,
instead we need to manually call qemuDomainAssignSpaprVioAddresses().
Also add logic to cope with qemuDomainAssignSpaprVioAddresses() failing,
so that we can write a test that checks for a known failure in there.

QEMU does not support security_model for anything but 'path' fs driver type.

In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter
*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.
Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638633
Although scripts are not used by interfaces of type other than
"ethernet" in qemu, due to the fact that the parser stores the script
name in a union that is only valid when type is ethernet or bridge,
there is no way for anyone except the parser itself to catch the
problem of specifying an interface script for an inappropriate
interface type (by the time the parsed data gets back to the code that
called the parser, all evidence that a script was specified is
forgotten).
Since the parser itself should be agnostic to which type of interface
allows scripts (an example of why: a script specified for an interface
of type bridge is valid for xen domains, but not for qemu domains),
the solution here is to move the script out of the union(s) in the
DomainNetDef, always populate it when specified (regardless of
interface type), and let the driver decide whether or not it is
appropriate.
Currently the qemu, xen, libxml, and uml drivers recognize the script
parameter and do something with it (the uml driver only to report that
it isn't supported). Those drivers have been updated to log a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error when a script is specified for an interface
type that's inappropriate for that particular hypervisor.
(NB: There was earlier discussion of solving this problem by adding a
VALIDATE flag to all libvirt APIs that accept XML, which would cause
the XML to be validated against the RNG files. One statement during
that discussion was that the RNG shouldn't contain hypervisor-specific
things, though, and a proper solution to this problem would require
that (again, because a script for an interface of type "bridge" is
accepted by xen, but not by qemu).

A preparatory patch for DHCP snooping where we want to be able to
differentiate between a VM's interface using the tuple of
<VM UUID, Interface MAC address>. We assume that MAC addresses could
possibly be re-used between different networks (VLANs) thus do not only
want to rely on the MAC address to identify an interface.
At the current 'final destination' in virNWFilterInstantiate I am leaving
the vmuuid parameter as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED until the DHCP snooping patches arrive.
(we may not post the DHCP snooping patches for 0.9.9, though)
Mostly this is a pretty trivial patch. On the lowest layers, in lxc_driver

only the VM's uuid into the NWFilter calls.
This patch cleans up return codes in the nwfilter subsystem.
Some functions in nwfilter_conf.c (validators and formatters) are
keeping their bool return for now and I am converting their return
code to true/false.
All other functions now have failure return codes of -1 and success
of 0.

adapted where needed. After that I did a grep for 'NWFilter' in the source

assumptions from generic code.
This implements the minimal set of changes needed in libvirt to launch a
PowerPC-KVM based guest.
It removes x86-specific assumptions about choice of serial driver backend
from generic qemu guest commandline generation code.
It also restricts the ACPI capability to be available for an x86 or
x86_64 domain.
This is not a complete solution -- it still does not guarantee libvirt
the capability to flag non-supported options in guest XML. (Eg, an ACPI
specification in a PowerPC guest XML will still get processed, even
though qemu-system-ppc64 does not support it while qemu-system-x86_64 does.)
This drawback exists because libvirt falls back on qemu to query supported
features, and qemu '-h' blindly lists all capabilities -- irrespective
of whether they are available while emulating a given architecture or not.
The long-term solution would be for qemu to list out capabilities based
on architecture and platform -- so that libvirt can cleanly make out what
devices are supported on an arch (say 'ppc64') and platform (say, 'mac99').

For direct attach devices, in qemuBuildCommandLine, we seem to be freeing
actual device on error path (with networkReleaseActualDevice). But the actual
device is not deleted.
qemuProcessStop eventually deletes the direct attach device and releases
actual device. But by the time qemuProcessStop is called qemuBuildCommandLine
has already freed actual device, leaving stray macvtap devices behind on error.
So the simplest fix is to remove the networkReleaseActualDevice in
qemuBuildCommandLine. This patch does just that.
