On the very first log message we send to any output, we include
the libvirt version number and package string. In some bug reports
we have been given libvirtd.log files that came from a different
host than the corresponding /var/log/libvirt/qemu log files. So
extend the initial log message to include the hostname too.
eg on first log message we would now see:
$ libvirtd

When installing the libvirt-daemon RPM, we have a %post rule to
enable the libvirtd.service, virtlockd.socket and virtlogd.socket
files. This is only done, however, when the RPM is first installed,
not when upgrading RPMs. So virtlogd will not get activated on
upgrading, which is a problem as libvirt qemu driver will expect
it to be available by default.
This adds a trigger that is run when uninstalling libvirt-daemon
older than 1.3.0 that will enable & start virtlogd.socket if
libvirtd is enabled and/or started. Using the trigger rather
than %post ensures that it only runs once, allowing admins to
disable it explicitly thereafter without future upgrades
re-enabling it.

When someone does 'systemctl enable libvirtd.service' we should
also enable virtlockd.socket/virtlogd.socket, so that they can
be auto-activated if libvirtd tries to access the sockets.
Without this, people have to manually enable the units themselves
via 'systemctl enable virtdlogd.socket'.
This also ensures that if distros uses 'systemctl preset' for
enabling 'libvirtd.service', then the virtdlogd.socket gets
enabled without having to wait for the distro to update their
presets file.

The current virtlogd RPC protocol provides the ability to
handle log files associated with QEMU stdout/err. The log
protocol messages take the virt driver, domain name and
use that to form a log file path. This is quite restrictive
as it prevents us re-using the same RPC protocol messages
for logging to char device backends where the filename
can be arbitrarily user specified. It is also bad because
it means we have 2 separate locations which have to decide
on logfile name.
This change alters the RPC protocol so that we pass the
desired log file path along when opening the log file
initially. Now the virt driver is exclusively in charge
of deciding the log filename

The virtlogd daemon is launched with a 30 second timeout for

Currently the QEMU stdout/stderr streams are written directly to
a regular file (eg /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log). While those
can be rotated by logrotate (using copytruncate option) this is
not very efficient. It also leaves open a window of opportunity
for a compromised/broken QEMU to DOS the host filesystem by
writing lots of text to stdout/stderr.
This makes it possible to connect the stdout/stderr file handles
to a pipe that is provided by virtlogd. The virtlogd daemon will
read from this pipe and write data to the log file, performing
file rotation whenever a pre-determined size limit is reached.

The virtlogd daemon will forward I/O between them, ensuring

tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly

This reverts commit 6f2a0198e9.
This commit removed error reporting from virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl

since virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl calls virNetDevSetupControl

a result callers now overwrite some errors.
It also introduced a regression causing unprivileged libvirtd to
spew error messages to the console due to inability to query the

The xenXMConfigCacheRefresh method scans /etc/xen and loads
all config files it finds. It then scans its internal hash
table and purges any (previously) loaded config files whose
refresh timestamp does not match the timestamp recorded at
the start of xenXMConfigCacheRefresh(). There is unfortunately
a subtle flaw in this, because if loading the config files
takes longer than 1 second, some of the config files will
have a refresh timestamp that is 1 or more seconds different
(newer) than is checked for. So we immediately purge a bunch
of valid config files we just loaded.
To avoid this flaw, we must pass the timestamp we record at

Delete .po files which contain zero translated strings. Refresh

When refreshing the libvirt.pot, it can be pushed to zanata

just pushed .pot file.
Note at time of writing, it is strongly recommended to only
use the zanata Java client binary (zanata-cli), and not the
python client binary (zanata). This is because the moderately
large size of the libvirt pot file is causing errors when the
python client tries to push, which have been known to result

The qemuDomainHelperGetVcpus attempted to report an error when the
vcpupids info was NULL. Unfortunately earlier code would clamp the

This lead to 'virsh vcpuinfo <dom>' just returning an empty list
instead of giving the user a clear error.
If a previous commit I fixed the incorrect handling of vcpu pids
for TCG mode QEMU:

Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Dec 18 16:34:39 2014 +0000
Don't setup fake CPU pids for old QEMU
The code assumes that def->vcpus == nvcpupids, so when we setup
fake CPU pids for old QEMU with nvcpupids == 1, we cause the
later code to read off the end of the array. This has fun results
like sche_setaffinity(0, ...) which changes libvirtd's own CPU
affinity, or even better sched_setaffinity($RANDOM, ...) which
changes the affinity of a random OS process.
The intent was that this would merely disable the ability to set
per-vCPU affinity. It should still have been possible to set VM
level host CPU affinity.
Unfortunately, when you set <vcpu cpuset='0-1'>4</vcpu>, the XML
parser will internally take this & initialize an entry in the
def->cputune.vcpupin array for every VCPU. IOW this is implicitly
being treated as
<cputune>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='0'/>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='1'/>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='2'/>
<vcpupin cpuset='0-1' vcpu='3'/>
</cputune>
Even more fun, the faked cputune elements are hidden from view when
querying the live XML, because their cpuset mask is the same as the
VM default cpumask.
The upshot was that it was impossible to set VM level CPU affinity.
To fix this we must update qemuProcessSetVcpuAffinities so that it
only reports a fatal error if the per-VCPU cpu mask is different
from the VM level cpu mask.

Add more logging to the lxc controller and container files to
facilitate debugging startup problems. Also make it clear when
the container is going to close stdout and thus no longer do
any logging.
Don't create the cgroups ahead of launching the container since
there is no need for the limits to apply during initial bootstrap.
Create the cgroup after the container PID is known and tell
systemd the initpid is the leader, instead of the controller
pid.
Currently when launching the LXC controller we first write out
the plain, inactive XML configuration, then launch the controller,
then replace the file with the live status XML configuration.
By good fortune this hasn't caused any problems other than some
misleading error messages during failure scenarios.
This simplifies the code so it only writes out the XML once and
always writes the live status XML. To do this we need to handshake
with the child process, to make execution pause just before exec()
so we can write the XML status with the child PID present.
Currently the lxc controller process itself is responsible for
daemonizing itself into the background and writing out its pid
file. The lxc driver would fork the controller and then attempt
to connect to the lxc monitor. This connection would only
succeed after the controller has backgrounded itself, setup
cgroups and written its pid file, so startup was race free.
The problem is that we need to delay create of the cgroups to
much later, such that we can tell systemd the container init
pid when we create the cgroups. If we delay cgroup creation
though the current synchronization won't work.
A second problem is that the controller needs the XML config
of the guest. Currently we write out the plain virDomainDefPtr
XML before starting the controller, and then later replace it
with the full virDomainObjPtr status XML. This is kind of gross
and also means that the controller doesn't get a record of the
live XML config right away. This means it doesn't have a record
of the veth device names either and so can't give that info
to systemd when creating the cgroups.
To address this we change the startup sequencing. The goal
is that we want to get the PID as soon as possible, before
the LXC controller even starts. So we stop letting the LXC
controller daemonize itself, and instead use virCommand's
built-in capabilities. This daemonizes and writes the PID
before LXC controller is exec'd. So the driver can read
the PID as soon as virCommandRun returns. It is no longer
safe to connect to the monitor or detect the cgroups though.
Fortunately the LXC controller already has a second point
of synchronization. Immediately before its event loop
starts running, it performs a handshake with the driver.
So we move the opening of the monitor connection and cgroup
detection after this synchronization point.
Build the pidfile string once when starting a guest and then
use the same string thereafter. This will benefit following
patches which need the pidfile string in more situations.

In many cases where we invoke virSystemdTerminateMachine the
process(es) will have already gone away on their own accord.
In these cases we log an error message that the machine does
not exist. We should catch this particular error and simply
ignore it, so we don't pollute the logs.
For stateless, client side drivers, it is never correct to
probe for secondary drivers. It is only ever appropriate to
use the secondary driver that is associated with the
hypervisor in question. As a result the ESX & HyperV drivers
have both been forced to do hacks where they register no-op
drivers for the ones they don't implement.
For stateful, server side drivers, we always just want to
use the same built-in shared driver. The exception is
virtualbox which is really a stateless driver and so wants
to use its own server side secondary drivers. To deal with
this virtualbox has to be built as 3 separate loadable
modules to allow registration to work in the right order.
This can all be simplified by introducing a new struct
recording the precise set of secondary drivers each
hypervisor driver wants
struct _virConnectDriver {
virHypervisorDriverPtr hypervisorDriver;
virInterfaceDriverPtr interfaceDriver;
virNetworkDriverPtr networkDriver;
virNodeDeviceDriverPtr nodeDeviceDriver;
virNWFilterDriverPtr nwfilterDriver;
virSecretDriverPtr secretDriver;
virStorageDriverPtr storageDriver;
};
Instead of registering the hypervisor driver, we now
just register a virConnectDriver instead. This allows
us to remove all probing of secondary drivers. Once we
have chosen the primary driver, we immediately know the
correct secondary drivers to use.

A bunch of code is wrapped in #if WITH_LIBVIRTD in order to
enable the virStateDriver to be disabled when libvirtd is not
built. Disabling this code doesn't have any real functional
benefit beyond removing 1 pointer from the virConnectPtr struct,
while having a cost of many more conditionals.

The virDBusMethodCall method has a DBusError as one of its
parameters. If the caller wants to pass a non-NULL value
for this, it immediately makes the calling code require
DBus at build time. This has led to breakage of non-DBus
builds several times. It is desirable that only the virdbus.c
file should need WITH_DBUS conditionals, so we must ideally
remove the DBusError parameter from the method.
We can't simply raise a libvirt error, since the whole point
of this parameter is to give the callers a way to check if
the error is one they want to ignore, without having the logs
polluted with an error message. So, we add a virErrorPtr
parameter which the caller can then either ignore or raise
using the new virReportErrorObject method.
This new method is distinct from virSetError in that it
ensures the logging hooks are run.

The 'virsh edit' command gets XML validation enabled by default,
with a --skip-validate option to disable it. The 'virsh define'
and 'virsh create' commands get a --validate option to enable
it, to avoid regressions for existing scripts.
The quality of error reporting from libxml2 varies depending
on the type of XML error made. Sometimes it is quite clear
and useful, other times it is obscure & inaccurate. At least
the user will see an error now, rather than having their
XML modification silently disappear.
The virDomainDefineXMLFlags and virDomainCreateXML APIs both
gain new flags allowing them to be told to validate XML.
This updates all the drivers to turn on validation in the
XML parser when the flags are set
