The function that parses custom driver XML was getting pretty unruly,
split the object parsing into their own functions. Rename some variables
to be consistent across each function. This should be functionally
identical.
File hasn't been really touched for 7 years. And with recent rawhide
changes it contributed to an RPM build failure. Let's drop it.
This also removes installation of a libvirt-python doc dir, so drop
handling of it from the RPM spec.
Because it's a valid combination. p2p still uses a separate channel
for qemu migration, so there's value in letting the user specify a manual
migrate URI for overriding auto-port, or libvirt's FQDN lookup.
What _isn't_ allowed is --migrateuri and TUNNELLED, since there is
no separate migration channel. Disallow that instead
If we are just ejecting media, ret == -1 even after the retry loop
determines that the tray is open, as requested. This means media
disconnect always report's error.
Fix it, and fix some other mini issues:
- Don't overwrite the 'eject' error message if the retry loop fails
- Move the retries decrement inside the loop, otherwise the final loop
might succeed, yet retries == 0 and we will raise error
- Setting ret = -1 in the disk->src check is unneeded
- Fix comment typos

There's been a few bugs about an expected error from polkit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873799https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872166
The error is:
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available.
The error means that polkit needs a password, but there is no polkit
agent registered in your session. Polkit agents are the bit of UI that
pop up and actually ask for your password.
Preface the error with the string 'polkit:' so folks can hopefully
make more sense of it.
Most of this deals with moving the libvirt-guests.sh script which
does all the work to /usr/libexec, so it can be shared by both
systemd and traditional init. Previously systemd depended on
the script being in /etc/init.d
Required to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789747
Things are supposed to look like:
<machine canonical='pc-0.12'>pc</machine>
But are currently swapped. This can cause many VMs to revert to having
machine type='pc' which will affect save/restore across qemu upgrades.
This commit changes the behavior of LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 libvirtd:

Automatically enable systemd journal logging
Probe to see if the systemd journal is accessible, and if
so enable logging to the journal by default, rather than
stderr (current default under systemd).
Previously 'LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd' would show all debug
output to stderr, now it send debug output to the journal.
Only use the journal by default if running in daemon mode, or
if stdin is _not_ a tty. This should make libvirtd launched from
systemd use the journal, but preserve the old behavior in most
situations.
When restoring selinux labels after a VM is stopped, any non-standard
path that doesn't have a default selinux label causes the process
to stop and exit early. This isn't really an error condition IMO.
Of course the selinux API could be erroring for some other reason
but hopefully that's rare enough to not need explicit handling.
Common example here is storing disk images in a non-standard location
like under /mnt.
virStorageVolLookupByPath is an API call that virt-manager uses
quite a bit when dealing with storage. This call use BackendStablePath
which has several usleep() heuristics that can be tripped up
and hang virt-manager for a while.
Current example: an empty mpath pool pointing to /dev/mapper makes
_any_ calls to virStorageVolLookupByPath take 5 seconds.
The sleep heuristics are actually only needed in certain cases
when we are waiting for new storage to appear, so let's skip the
timeout steps when calling from LookupByPath.
On F17 at least, every time libvirtd starts we get this in syslog:
libvirtd: Could not find keytab file: /etc/libvirt/krb5.tab: No such file or directory
This comes from cyrus-sasl, and happens regardless of whether the
gssapi plugin is requested, which is what actually uses
/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab.
While cyrus-sasl shouldn't complain, we can easily make it shut up by
commenting out the keytab value by default.
Also update the keytab comment to the more modern one from qemu's
sasl config file.
AUTHORS.in tracks the maintainers, as well as some folks who were
previously in AUTHORS but don't have a git commit with proper
attribution.
Generated output is sorted alphabetically and lacks pretty spacing, so
tweak AUTHORS.in to follow the same format.
Additionally, drop the syntax-check rule that previously validated
AUTHORS against git log.
On F17 at least, this command fails:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/lvcreate --name sparsetest -L 0K --virtualsize 16384K vgvirt
Unable to create new logical volume with no extents
Which is unfortunate since allocation=0 is what virt-manager tries to use
by default.
Rather than telling the user 'don't do that', let's just give them the
smallest allocation possible if alloc=0 is requested.

- Add the XML header so vim gives us syntax highlighting
- polkit-policy-file-validate hasn't existed for 3 years
- Permissions comment was not accurate
Done with:

And a couple fixups before, during, and after, and a manual inspection
pass to make sure nothing was wonky.
Similar to the previous patch, prepending 'help' to a partial
command string doesn't cut us any slack.
$ virsh help pool-define-as --name foo --type dir
error: command 'help' doesn't support option --name
This patch adds a few hacks to make 'help' ignore everything after the
first data bit, so the above command shows help output for pool-define-as.
Often times I find myself halfway through typing a long command when
I want to see 'help' output. I instinctively append '--help' to the
command I'm typing, only to get an error:
$ virsh vol-create-as foo --help
error: command 'vol-create-as' doesn't support option --help
This patch makes --help work in a pretty hacky way. One missing piece
here is that --help isn't listed as an option in the actual 'help <cmd>'
output, but maybe this can be a starting point for someone.
For some reason I only get this after applying subsequent upcoming
patches that touch virsh, but don't seem to actually cause the warning.

If we do ./autogen.sh && ./configure, then later try ./autogen.sh --system,
configure isn't invoked with the requested params. Instead
config.status --recheck is run.
We were using the libvirt release version (like 0.9.11) and not
the configure version (which for stable releases is 0.9.11.X)
Most other places got this right so hopefully that's all the fallout
from the version format change :)

This largely worked before because these commands strip off a
starting /dev. But https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714986
is from a user using a 'nested VG' that was having problems.
I couldn't find any info on nested LVM and the reporter never responded,
but I reproduced with XML that specified a valid source name, and
set target path to a symlink.
Previously we would have:
"os type 'hvm' & arch 'idontexist' combination is not supported"
Now we get
"No guest options available for arch 'idontexist'"
or if options available but guest OS type not applicable:
"No os type 'xen' available for arch 'x86_64'"
Input to the volume cloning code is a source volume and an XML
descriptor for the new volume. It is possible for the new volume
to have a greater size than source volume, at which point libvirt
will just stick 0s on the end of the new image (for raw format
anyways).
Unfortunately a logic error messed up our tracking of the of the
excess amount that needed to be written: end result is that sparse
clones were made very much non-sparse, and cloning regular disk
images could end up excessively sized (though data unaltered).
Drop the 'remain' variable entriely here since it's redundant, and
track actual allocation directly against the desired 'total'.
If you are sitting in front of a physical machine and logged in as
a regular user, you can connect to the system libvirtd instance
by providing a root password to policykit. This is how most
virt-manager users talk to libvirt.
However, if you are launching virt-manager over ssh -X, or over
VNC started from say /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, our policykit policy
rejects the user outright, providing no option to provide the root
password. This is confusing to users and doesn't seem to serve much
point.
Change the policy to allow inactive (VNC) and non-local (SSH, VNC)
to provide root credentials for accessing system libvirtd. We use
auth_admin rather than auth_admin_keep so that credentials aren't
cached at all, and every subsequent reconnection to libvirt requires
auth.
Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625115
Similar change to PackageKit policy:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528511
Several not uncommon issues can be diagnosed through pkcheck output, like
lack of/malfunctioning desktop agent, or lack of/malfunctioning polkit
dbus agent.
And hook it up for policykit auth. This allows virt-manager to detect
that the user clicked the policykit 'cancel' button and not throw
an 'authentication failed' error message at the user.
On F16 at least, empty volume groups don't have a directory under /dev.
The directory only appears once a logical volume is created.
This tickles some behavior in BackendStablePath which ends with
libvirt sleeping for 5 seconds while waiting for the directory to appear.
This causes all sorts of problems for the virStorageVolLookupByPath API
which virtinst uses, even if trying to resolve a path that is independent
of the logical pool.
In reality we don't even need to do that checking since logical pools
always have a stable target path. Short circuit the polling in that
case.
Fixes bug 782261
The following XML:
<serial type='udp'>
<source mode='connect' service='9999'/>
</serial>
is accepted by domain_conf.c but maps to the qemu command line:
-chardev udp,host=127.0.0.1,port=2222,localaddr=(null),localport=(null)
qemu can cope with everything omitting except the connection port, which
seems to also be the intent of domain_conf validation, so let's not
generate bogus command lines for that case.
The defaults are empty strings for addresses and 0 for the localport
Additionally, tweak the qemu cli parsing to handle omitted host
parameters
for -serial udp
We had a bit too many elements crammed in there. Separate it into different
headings:
- CPU Allocation (<vcpus>)

- Numa tuning (<numatune>)
- Block I/O tuning (<blkiotune>)
Though we prefer users to have SSH keys setup, virt-manager users still
depend on remote SSH connections to launch a password dialog. This fixes

Turns out I was right in removing this the first time :) This is
needed in our custom __del__ function, but the C code wasn't
being generated. Add new infrastructure to do what we want
These functions aren't intended to be called directly by users, so mark
them as private.
While we're at it, remove unneeded exception handling, and break some
long lines.
If registering our own event loop implementation written in python,
any handles or timeouts callbacks registered by libvirt C code must
be wrapped in a python function. There is some argument trickery that
makes this all work, by wrapping the user passed opaque value in
a tuple, along with the callback function.
Problem is, the current setup requires the user's event loop to know
about this trickery, rather than just treating the opaque value
as truly opaque.
Fix this in a backwards compatible manner, and adjust the example
python event loop to do things the proper way.
Since we virEventRegisterDefaultImpl is now a public API, callers need
a way to invoke the default registered Handle and Timeout functions. We
already have general functions for these internally, so promote
them to the public API.
v2:
Actually add APIs to libvirt.h
Pure python implementation. The handler callbacks have been altered
a bit compared to the C API: RecvAll doesn't pass length of the data read
since that can be trivially obtained from python string objects, and SendAll
requires the handler to return the string data to send rather than
store the data in a string pointer.
The return values for the python version are different that the C version
of virStreamSend: on success we return a string, an error raises an exception,
and if the stream would block we return int(-2). We need to do this
since strings aren't passed by reference in python.
If qemu supports -chardev, our char frontend aliases are ex. 'charserial0'
not just 'serial0'. Typically we don't use this code path because the
pty's are scraped from stdout.
Add a simple handshake with the lxc_controller process so we can detect
process startup failures. We do this by adding a new --handshake cli arg
to lxc_controller for passing a file descriptor. If the process fails to
launch, we scrape all output from the logfile and report it to the user.
Seems reasonable to have all command wrappers in the same place
