We need to send allowReboot in the migration cookie to ensure the same
behavior of the virDomainSetLifecycleAction() API on the destination.
Consider this scenario:
1. On the source the domain is started with:
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
<on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
2. User calls an API to set "destroy" for <on_reboot>:
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot>
<on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
3. The guest is migrated to a different host
4a. Without the allowReboot in the migration cookie the QEMU
process on destination would be started with -no-reboot
which would prevent using the virDomainSetLifecycleAction() API
for the rest of the guest lifetime.
4b. With the allowReboot in the migration cookie the QEMU process
on destination is started without -no-reboot like it was started
on the source host and the virDomainSetLifecycleAction() API
continues to work.
The following patch adds a QEMU implementation of the
virDomainSetLifecycleAction() API and that implementation disallows
using the API if all actions are set to "destroy" because we add
"-no-reboot" on the QEMU command line. Changing the lifecycle action
is in this case pointless because the QEMU process is always terminated.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
