Changing the current vm, and writing that change to the file system, all before a new qemu starts, is risky; it's hard to roll back if starting the new qemu fails for some reason. Instead of abusing vm->current_snapshot and making the command line generator decide whether the current snapshot warrants using -loadvm, it is better to just directly pass a snapshot all the way through the call chain if it is to be loaded. This frees up the last use of snapshot->def->active for qemu's use, so the next patch can repurpose that field for tracking which snapshot is current. * src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuBuildCommandLine): Don't use active field of snapshot. * src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessStart): Add a parameter. * src/qemu/qemu_process.h (qemuProcessStart): Update prototype. * src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationPrepareAny): Update callers. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCreate) (qemuDomainSaveImageStartVM, qemuDomainObjStart) (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Likewise. (qemuDomainSnapshotSetCurrentActive) (qemuDomainSnapshotSetCurrentInactive): Delete unused functions.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
