Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816662 pointed out that attempting 'virsh blockpull' on an offline domain gave a misleading error message about qemu lacking support for the operation, even when qemu was specifically updated to support it. The real problem is that we have several capabilities that are only determined when starting a domain, and therefore are still clear when first working with an inactive domain (namely, any capability set by qemuMonitorJSONCheckCommands). While this patch was able to hoist an existing check in one of the three culprits, it had to add redundant checks in the other two places (because you always have to check for an active domain after obtaining a VM job lock, but the capability bits were being checked prior to obtaining the job lock). Someday it would be nice to patch libvirt to cache the set of capabilities per qemu binary (as determined by inode and timestamp), rather than re-probing the binary every time a domain is started, and to teach the cache how to query the monitor during the one time the probe is made rather than having to wait until a guest is started; then, a capability probe would succeed even for offline guests because it just refers to the cache, and the single check for an active domain after grabbing the job lock would be sufficient. But since that will involve a lot more coding, I'm happy to go with this simpler solution for an immediate solution. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainPMSuspendForDuration) (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML, qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Check for offline state before checking an online-only cap. |

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.
