In older Fedora, the spec file for libivrt depended on avahi, which
included avahi-daemon, which in turn depended on dbus. But now that
avahi libs and avahi-daemon are (correctly) in separate pacakges,
and since we REALLY don't want a mandatory dependency on avahi-daemon,
and considering that our init scripts require the messagebus service
from dbus, we need to explicitly require dbus ourselves.
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Add dbus for libvirt-daemon.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830201
The initscript and upstart services depend on dbus starting
before libvirtd. When we first wrote the systemd script, we
tried to do the same, but we depended on dbus.target (which
does not exist) in comparison to network.target (which does
exist), so we removed that in commit 4c7973e. But we still
need dbus up and running first, especially now that we want
to support shutdown inhibition via dbus (whereas we originally
needed dbus only for firewall control).
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.target.html
explains how a target (such as network.target) is just a collection
of common services bundled together, and why we want network.target
but dbus.service.
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in (Unit): Depend on dbus starting
first.
Only one error in qemu_monitor was already using the relatively
new OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED error, even though it is a better fit
for all of the messages related to options that are unsupported
due to the version of qemu in use rather than due to a user's
XML or .conf file choice. Suggested by Osier Yang.

Without this patch, attempts to create a disk snapshot when qemu
is too old results in a cryptic message:
virsh # snapshot-create 23 --disk-only
error: operation failed: Failed to take snapshot: unknown command: 'snapshot_blkdev'
Now it reports:
virsh # snapshot-create 23 --disk-only
error: unsupported configuration: live disk snapshot not supported with this QEMU binary
All versions of qemu that support live disk snapshot also support
QMP (basically upstream qemu 1.1 and later, and backports to RHEL 6.2).

RHEL 6.3 uses dbus-devel-1.2.24, which lacked support for the
DBUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD define (contrast with Fedora 18 using 1.6.8).
But since it is an older dbus, it also lacks support for shutdown
inhibitions as provided by newer systemd.
Compilation failure introduced in commit 31330926.
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c (virNetServerAddShutdownInhibition):
Compile out if dbus is too old.
Commit 71d1256 tried to fix a problem where rebasing an old
branch on top of newer libvirt.git resulted in automake failing
because of a missing AUTHORS file. However, while the fix
worked for an incremental 'make', it did not work for someone
that directly reran './autogen.sh'. Reported by Laine Stump.
* autogen.sh (autoreconf): Check for same conditions as cfg.mk.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Add comments.
virStringSplit requires a non-NULL input, but commit cef78ed forgot
to follow the rule.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdReboot, cmdShutdown): Avoid NULL deref.

Libvirt should not attempt to call a QMP command that has not been
documented in qemu.git - if future qemu introduces a command by the
same name but with subtly different semantics, then libvirt will be
broken when trying to use that command.
We also had some code that could never be reached - some of our
commands have an alternate for new vs. old qemu HMP commands; but
if we are new enough to support QMP, we only need a fallback to
the new HMP counterpart, and don't need to try for a QMP counterpart
for the old HMP version.
See also this attempt to convert the three snapshot commands to QMP:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg01597.html
although it looks like that will still not happen before qemu 1.3.
That thread eventually decided that qemu would use the name
'save-vm' rather than 'savevm', which mitigates the fact that
libvirt's attempt to use a QMP 'savevm' would be broken, but we
might not be as lucky on the other commands.

Commit 38c4a9cc introduced a regression in hot unplugging of disks
from qemu, where cgroup device ACLs were no longer being revoked
(thankfully not a security hole: cgroup ACLs only prevent open()
of the disk; so reverting the ACL prevents future abuse but doesn't
stop abuse from an fd that was already opened before the ACL change).
Commit 1b2ebf95 overlooked that there were two spots affected.
* src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c (qemuDomainDetachDiskDevice):
Transfer backing chain before deletion.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainDetachDeviceDiskLive): Fix
spacing (partly to ensure a different-looking patch).
Commit cb022152 went overboard and introduced a dead conditional
while trying to get rid of a potential NULL dereference.

Commit 38c4a9cc introduced a regression in hot unplugging of disks
from qemu, where cgroup device ACLs were no longer being revoked
(thankfully not a security hole: cgroup ACLs only prevent open()
of the disk; so reverting the ACL prevents future abuse but doesn't
stop abuse from an fd that was already opened before the ACL change).
The actual regression is due to a latent bug. The hot unplug code
was computing the set of files needing cgroup ACL revocation based
on the XML passed in by the user, rather than based on the domain's
details on which disk was being deleted. As long as the revoke
path was always recomputing the backing chain, this didn't really
matter; but now that we want to compute the chain exactly once and
remember that computation, we need to hang on to the backing chain
until after the revoke has happened.
* src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c (qemuDomainDetachPciDiskDevice):
Transfer backing chain before deletion.
Although we require various C99 features, we don't yet require a
complete C99 compiler. On RHEL 5, compilation complained:
qemu/qemu_command.c: In function 'qemuBuildGraphicsCommandLine':
qemu/qemu_command.c:4688: error: 'for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuBuildGraphicsCommandLine): Declare
variable sooner.
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessInitPasswords): Likewise.
Upcoming patches for revert-and-clone branching of snapshots need
to be able to copy a domain definition; make this step reusable.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainDefCopy): New prototype.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainObjCopyPersistentDef): Split...
(virDomainDefCopy): ...into new function.
(virDomainObjSetDefTransient): Use it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_conf.h): Export it.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Use it.
Now that we can filter on this information, we should also make
it easy to get at.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotInfo): Add another output
row, and switch to XPath queries rather than strstr.
Relatively straight-forward. And since qemu was already using
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_ALL, with 6 different APIs all calling
into this common code, I've instantly added all 5 flags to 6 APIs.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.h (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_ALL):
Enable new filters.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotObjListGetNames):
Prep the new flags.
(virDomainSnapshotObjListCopyNames): Actually do the filtering.
Snapshot filtering based on types is useful enough to add
back-compat support into virsh. It is also rather easy - all
versions of libvirt that don't understand the new filter flags
already gave us sufficient information in a single XML field
to reconstruct all the information we need (that is, it isn't
until libvirt 1.0.1 that we have more interesting types of
snapshots, such as offline external).
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (vshSnapshotFilter): New function.
(vshSnapshotListCollect): Add fallback support.
As we enable more modes of snapshot creation, it becomes more important
to be able to quickly filter based on snapshot properties. This patch
introduces new filter flags; subsequent patches will introduce virsh
back-compat filtering, as well as actual libvirt filtering.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSnapshotListFlags): Add
five new flags in two new groups.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotNum, virDomainSnapshotListNames)

(virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames)
(virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): Document them.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.h (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_STATUS)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_LOCATION): Add new convenience filter
collection macros.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add 5 new flags.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document them.
Prior to this patch, 'virsh nodecpumap' on older kernels reported:
error: Unable to get cpu map
error: out of memory
* src/nodeinfo.c (linuxParseCPUmax): Don't overwrite error.
(nodeGetCPUBitmap): Provide backup implementation.
On RHEL 5, I was getting a segfault trying to start libvirtd,
because we were failing virNodeParseSocket but not checking
for errors, and then calling CPU_SET(-1, &sock_map) as a result.
But if you don't have a topology/physical_package_id file,
then you can just assume that the cpu belongs to socket 0.
* src/nodeinfo.c (virNodeGetCpuValue): Change bool into
default_value.
(virNodeParseSocket): Allow for default value when file is missing,
different from fatal error on reading file.
(virNodeParseNode): Update call sites to fail on error.
This reverts commits 5f63a5cb42
and ff86b0c97b. After much list
discussion, consensus was that libvirt aliases should be reserved
to correct typos, otherwise it risks confusion. Rather, we
should implement a way for users to provide their own aliases
as part of their virsh configuration preferences.
For disk snapshots, the user could request an external snapshot
but not supply a filename; later on, we would check this condition
and generate a suitable name if possible, or gracefully error out
when not possible (such as when the original file was a block
device). But unless we come up with a suitable way to generate
external memory file names, we have no later code point that was
checking for NULL, so we should forbid this up front.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDefParseString):
Avoid NULL deref, since we don't generate names yet.
Ever since commit 7b21981c started generating AUTHORS, we now have
the situation that if you flip between two branches in the same
git repository that cross that commit boundary, then 'make' will
fail due to automake complaining about AUTHORS not existing. The
simplest solution is to realize that if AUTHORS does not exist,
then we flipped branches so we will need to rerun bootstrap
anyways; and rerunning bootstrap ensures AUTHORS will exist in time.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Also depend on AUTHORS.
External checkpoints could be created with snapshot-create, but
without libvirt supplying a default name for the memory file,
it is essential to add a new argument to snapshot-create-as to
allow the user to choose the memory file name. This adds the
option --memspec [file=]name[,snapshot=type], where type can
be none, internal, or external. For an example,
virsh snapshot-create-as $dom --memspec /path/to/file
is the shortest possible command line for creating an external
checkpoint, named after the current timestamp.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (vshParseSnapshotMemspec): New function.
(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Use it.
* tests/virsh-optparse (test_url): Test it.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document it.
So far, none of the existing callers of vshStringToArray expected
the user to ever pass a literal comma; meanwhile, snapshot parsing
had rolled its own array parser. Moving the comma escaping into
the common function won't affect any existing callers, and will make
this function reusable for adding memory handling to snapshot parsing.
As a bonus, the testsuite was already testing snapshot parsing, so
the fact that the test still passes means that we are now giving
testsuite exposure to vshStringToArray.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (vshParseSnapshotDiskspec): Move ,,
parsing...
* tools/virsh.c (vshStringToArray): ...into common function.
Also, vshStrdup can't fail.
Make it clear that the alternate terms have no difference except
for length of time they were supported.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): More documentation.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873344 suggested that
the grouping 'boot', 'shutdown', 'reboot'; as well as the grouping
'start', 'stop', 'restart'; might be easier to remember than the
current mix of 'start', 'shutdown', 'reboot'.
Also, touch up the wording of 'reboot' to be more accurate.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (domManagementCmds): Add other command names.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): Document the aliases.
In Fedora 16, we quit enabling cgconfig because systemd set up
default cgroups that were good enough for our use. But in F17,
when we switched to systemd, we reverted and started up cgconfig
again. See also the tail of this thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg01657.html
* libvirt.spec.in (with_systemd): Rely on systemd for cgroups.
Both system checkpoint snapshots and disk snapshots were iterating
over all disks, doing a final sanity check before doing any work.
But since future patches will allow offline snapshots to be either
external or internal, it makes sense to share the pass over all
disks, and then relax restrictions in that pass as new modes are
implemented. Future patches can then handle external disks when
the domain is offline, then handle offline --disk-snapshot, and
finally, combine with migration to file to gain a complete external
system checkpoint snapshot of an active domain without using 'savevm'.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepare)
(qemuDomainSnapshotIsAllowed): Merge...
(qemuDomainSnapshotPrepare): ...into one function.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Update caller.
Now that the XML supports listing internal snapshots, it is worth
always populating the <memory> and <disks> element to match.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Always
parse disk info and set memory info.
There were not previous callers with require_match set to true.
I originally implemented this bool with the intent of supporting
ESX snapshot semantics, where the choice of internal vs. external
vs. non-checkpointable must be made at domain start, but as ESX
has not been wired up to use it yet, we might as well fix it to
work with our next qemu patch for now, and worry about any further
improvements (changing the bool to a flags argument) if the ESX
driver decides to use this function in the future.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotAlignDisks): Alter
logic when require_match is true to deal with new XML.
Each <domainsnapshot> can now contain an optional <memory>
element that describes how the VM state was handled, similar
to disk snapshots. The new element will always appear in
output; for back-compat, an input that lacks the element will
assume 'no' or 'internal' according to the domain state.
Along with this change, it is now possible to pass <disks> in
the XML for an offline snapshot; this also needs to be wired up
in a future patch, to make it possible to choose internal vs.
external on a per-disk basis for each disk in an offline domain.
At that point, using the --disk-only flag for an offline domain
will be able to work.
For some examples below, remember that qemu supports the
following snapshot actions:
qemu-img: offline external and internal disk
savevm: online internal VM and disk
migrate: online external VM
transaction: online external disk
=====
<domainsnapshot>
<memory snapshot='no'/>
...
</domainsnapshot>
implies that there is no VM state saved (mandatory for
offline and disk-only snapshots, not possible otherwise);
using qemu-img for offline domains and transaction for online.
=====
<domainsnapshot>
<memory snapshot='internal'/>
...
</domainsnapshot>
state is saved inside one of the disks (as in qemu's 'savevm'
system checkpoint implementation). If needed in the future,
we can also add an attribute pointing out _which_ disk saved
the internal state; maybe disk='vda'.
=====
<domainsnapshot>
<memory snapshot='external' file='/path/to/state'/>
...
</domainsnapshot>
This is not wired up yet, but future patches will allow this to
control a combination of 'virsh save /path/to/state' plus disk
snapshots from the same point in time.
=====
So for 1.0.1 (and later, as needed), I plan to implement this table
of combinations, with '*' designating new code and '+' designating
existing code reached through new combinations of xml and/or the
existing DISK_ONLY flag:
domain memory disk disk-only | result
-----------------------------------------
offline omit omit any | memory=no disk=int, via qemu-img
offline no omit any |+memory=no disk=int, via qemu-img
offline omit/no no any | invalid combination (nothing to snapshot)
offline omit/no int any |+memory=no disk=int, via qemu-img
offline omit/no ext any |*memory=no disk=ext, via qemu-img
offline int/ext any any | invalid combination (no memory to save)
online omit omit off | memory=int disk=int, via savevm
online omit omit on | memory=no disk=default, via transaction
online omit no/ext off | unsupported for now
online omit no on | invalid combination (nothing to snapshot)
online omit ext on | memory=no disk=ext, via transaction
online omit int off |+memory=int disk=int, via savevm
online omit int on | unsupported for now
online no omit any |+memory=no disk=default, via transaction
online no no any | invalid combination (nothing to snapshot)

It turns out that calling virNodeGetCPUMap(conn, NULL, NULL, 0)
is both useful, and with Viktor's patches, common enough to
optimize. Since this interface hasn't been released yet, we
can change the RPC call.
A bit more background on the optimization - learning the cpu count
is a single file read (/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible), but
learning the number of online cpus can possibly trigger a file
read per cpu, depending on the age of the kernel, and all wasted
if the caller passed NULL for both arguments.
* src/nodeinfo.c (nodeGetCPUMap): Avoid bitmap when not needed.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x (remote_node_get_cpu_map_args):
Supply two separate flags for needed arguments.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteNodeGetCPUMap): Update
caller.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteDispatchNodeGetCPUMap): Likewise.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871756
Commit cd1e8d1 assumed that systems new enough to have journald
also have mkostemp; but this is not true for uclibc.
For that matter, use of mkstemp[s] is unsafe in a multi-threaded
program. We should prefer mkostemp[s] in the first place.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mkostemp, mkostemps; drop
mkstemp and mkstemps.

and log the argument.
Ever since commit eefb881, ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL has normally been a
no-op under gcc (since it tends to cause more bugs than it cures
given gcc's current lame implementation of the attribute). However,
the macro is still useful to Coverity and other static-analysis
tools, but only if we use it correctly. Coverity follows gcc's lead
in accepting function declarations with attributes at the end, but
function bodies must attach attributes to the return type. That is,
these are valid:
void foo(void *arg) ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1);
void ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) foo(void *arg);
void ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) foo(void *arg) {}
but this is not:
void foo(void *arg) ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) {}
even though you don't get a compile failure until you do static
analysis. Bug introduced in commit 80533ca, with these symptoms:
nodeinfo.c:206: error: expected ',' or ';' before '{' token
cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-suggest-attribute=const"
cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-suggest-attribute=pure"
make[3]: *** [libvirt_driver_la-nodeinfo.lo] Error 1
* src/nodeinfo.c (virNodeParseNode): Fix syntax error when
non-null attribute is in use.
Commit 34e8f63a3 altered virfile.o to drag in additional symbols,
which in turn led to pulling in other .o files and eventually causing
a link failure when systemtap probes are enabled, such as:
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-event_poll.o): In function `virEventPollRunOnce':
/home/dummy/libvirt/src/util/event_poll.c:614: undefined reference to `libvirt_event_poll_run_semaphore'
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-event_poll.o):(.note.stapsdt+0x24): undefined reference to `libvirt_event_poll_add_handle_semaphore'
Even though libvirt_iohelper and libvirt_parthelper don't directly
use the portion of virfile.o that drags in probing, it was easier
to satisfy the linker and get the build back up, than to figure out
whether it is even possible or worth trying to disentangle the mess.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_iohelper_LDADD)
(libvirt_parthelper_LDADD): Use libvirt_probes.lo when needed.
When using block copy to pivot over to a new chain, the backing files
for the new chain might still need labeling (particularly if the user
passes --reuse-ext with a relative backing file name). Relabeling a
file that is already labeled won't hurt, so this just labels the entire
chain at the point of the pivot. Doing the relabel of the chain uses
the fact that we already safely probed the file type of an external
file at the start of the block copy.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockPivot): Relabel chain before
asking qemu to pivot.
Use the recent addition of qemuDomainPrepareDiskChainElement to
obtain locking manager lease, permit a block device through cgroups,
and set the SELinux label; then audit the fact that we hand a new
file over to qemu. Alas, releasing the lease and label at the end
of the mirroring is a trickier prospect (we would have to trace the
backing chain of both source and destination, and be sure not to
revoke rights to any part of the chain that is shared), so for now,
virDomainBlockJobAbort still leaves things with additional access
granted (as block-pull and block-commit have the same problem of
not clamping access after completion, a future cleanup would cover
all three commands).
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCopy): Set up labeling.
Support the REUSE_EXT flag, in part by copying sanity checks from
snapshot code. This code introduces a case of probing an external
file for its type; such an action would be a security risk if the
existing file is supposed to be raw but the contents resemble some
other format; however, since the virDomainBlockRebase API has a
flag to force treating the file as raw rather than probe, we can
assume that probing is safe in all other instances. Besides, if
we don't probe or force raw, then qemu will.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockRebase): Allow REUSE_EXT
flag.
(qemuDomainBlockCopy): Wire up flag, and add some sanity checks.
Minimal patch to wire up all the pieces in the previous patches
to actually enable a block copy job. By minimal, I mean that
qemu creates the file (that is, no REUSE_EXT flag support yet),
SELinux must be disabled, a lock manager is not informed, and the
audit logs aren't updated. But those will be added as
improvements in future patches.
This patch is designed so that if we ever add a future API
virDomainBlockCopy with more bells and whistles (such as letting
the user specify a destination image format different than the
source), where virDomainBlockRebase is a wrapper around the
simpler portions of the new functionality, then the new API can
just reuse the new qemuDomainBlockCopy function and already
support _SHALLOW and _REUSE_EXT flags. Also note that libvirt.c
already filtered the new flags if _COPY is not present, so that
we are not impacting the case of BlockRebase being a wrapper
around BlockPull.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCopy): New function.
(qemuDomainBlockRebase): Call it when appropriate.
Since libvirt drops locks between issuing a monitor command and
getting a response, it is possible for libvirtd to be restarted
before getting a response on a block-job-complete command; worse, it
is also possible for the guest to shut itself down during the window
while libvirtd is down, ending the qemu process. A management app
needs to know if the pivot happened (and the destination file
contains guest contents not in the source) or failed (and the source
file contains guest contents not in the destination), but since
the job is finished, 'query-block-jobs' no longer tracks the
status of the job, and if the qemu process itself has disappeared,
even 'query-block' cannot be checked to ask qemu its current state.
At the time of this patch, the design for persistent bitmap has not
been clarified, so a followup patch will be needed once qemu
actually figures out how to expose it, and we figure out how to use
it. In the meantime, we have a solution that avoids the worst of
the problem. [This problem was first analyzed with the RHEL 6.3
__com.redhat_drive-reopen command; which partly explains why
upstream qemu 1.3 ditched the drive-reopen idea and went with
block-job-complete plus persistent bitmap instead.]
If we surround 'drive-reopen' with a pause/resume pair, then we can
guarantee that the guest cannot modify either source or destination
files in the window of libvirtd uncertainty, and the management app
is guaranteed that either libvirt knows the outcome and reported it
correctly; or that on libvirtd restart, the guest will still be
paused and that the qemu process cannot have disappeared due to
guest shutdown; and use that as a clue that the management app must
implement recovery protocol, with both source and destination files
still being in sync and with 'query-block' still being an option as
part of that recovery. My testing shows that the pause window will
typically be only a fraction of a second.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockPivot): Pause around
drive-reopen.
(qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Update caller.
This is the bare minimum to end a copy job (of course, until a
later patch adds the ability to start a copy job, this patch
doesn't do much in isolation; I've just split the patches to
ease the review).
This patch intentionally avoids SELinux, lock manager, and audit
actions. Also, if libvirtd restarts at the exact moment that a
'block-job-complete' is in flight, the proposed proper way to
detect the outcome of that would be with a persistent bitmap and
some additional query commands when libvirtd restarts. This
patch is enough to test the common case of success when used
correctly, while saving the subtleties of proper cleanup for
worst-case errors for later.
When a mirror job is started, cancelling the job safely reverts back
to the source disk, regardless of whether the destination is in
phase 1 (streaming, in which case the destination is worthless) or
phase 2 (mirroring, in which case the destination is synced up to
the source at the time of the cancel). Our existing code does just
fine in either phase, other than some bookkeeping cleanup; this
implements live block copy.
Ideas for future enhancements via new flags:
Depending on when persistent bitmap support is added, it may be
worth adding a VIR_DOMAIN_REBASE_COPY_ATOMIC flag that fails up
front if we detect an older qemu with risky pivot operation.
Interesting side note: while snapshot-create --disk-only creates a
copy of the disk at a point in time by moving the domain on to a
new file (the copy is the file now in the just-extended backing
chain), blockjob --abort of a copy job creates a copy of the disk
while keeping the domain on the original file. There may be
potential improvements to the snapshot code to exploit block copy
over multiple disks all at one point in time. And, if
'block-job-cancel' were made part of 'transaction', you could
copy multiple disks at the same point in time without pausing
the domain. This also implies we may want to add a --quiesce flag
to virDomainBlockJobAbort, so that when breaking a mirror (whether
by cancel or pivot), the side of the mirror that we are abandoning
is at least in a stable state with regards to guest I/O.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobAbort): Accept new flag.
(qemuDomainBlockPivot): New helper function.
(qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Implement it.
Handle the new type of block copy event and info. Of course,
this patch does nothing until a later patch actually allows the

block job status.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Snoop a successful
info query to save effort on a pivot request.
For now, disk migration via block copy job is not implemented in
libvirt. But when we do implement it, we have to deal with the
fact that qemu does not yet provide an easy way to re-start a qemu
process with mirroring still intact. Paolo has proposed an idea
for a persistent dirty bitmap that might make this possible, but
until that design is complete, it's hard to say what changes
libvirt would need. Even something like 'virDomainSave' becomes
hairy, if you realize the implications that 'virDomainRestore'
would be stuck with recreating the same mirror layout.
But if we step back and look at the bigger picture, we realize that
the initial client of live storage migration via disk mirroring is
oVirt, which always uses transient domains, and that if a transient
domain is destroyed while a mirror exists, oVirt can easily restart
the storage migration by creating a new domain that visits just the
source storage, with no loss in data.
We can make life a lot easier by being cowards for now, forbidding
certain operations on a domain. This patch guarantees that we
never get in a state where we would have to restart a domain with
a mirroring block copy, by preventing saves, snapshots, migration,
hot unplug of a disk in use, and conversion to a persistent domain
(thankfully, it is still relatively easy to 'virsh undefine' a
running domain to temporarily make it transient, run tests on
'virsh blockcopy', then 'virsh define' to restore the persistence).
Later, if the qemu design is enhanced, we can relax our code.
The change to qemudDomainDefine looks a bit odd for undoing an
assignment, rather than probing up front to avoid the assignment,
but this is because of how virDomainAssignDef combines both a
lookup and assignment into a single function call.

Upstream qemu 1.3 is adding two new monitor commands, 'drive-mirror'
and 'block-job-complete'[1], which can drive live block copy and
storage migration. [Additionally, RHEL 6.3 had backported an earlier
version of most of the same functionality, but under the names
'__com.redhat_drive-mirror' and '__com.redhat_drive-reopen' and with
slightly different JSON arguments, and has been using patches similar
to these upstream patches for several months now.]
The libvirt API virDomainBlockRebase as already committed for 0.9.12
is flexible enough to expose the basics of block copy, but some
additional features in the 'drive-mirror' qemu command, such as
setting error policy, setting granularity, or using a persistent
bitmap, may later require a new libvirt API virDomainBlockCopy. I
will wait to add that API until we know more about what qemu 1.3
will finally provide.
This patch caters only to the upstream qemu 1.3 interface, although
I have proven that the changes for RHEL 6.3 can be isolated to
just qemu_monitor_json.c, and the rest of this series will
gracefully handle either interface once the JSON differences are
papered over in a downstream patch.
For consistency with other block job commands, libvirt must handle
the bandwidth argument as MiB/sec from the user, even though qemu
exposes the speed argument as bytes/sec; then again, qemu rounds
up to cluster size internally, so using MiB hides the worst effects
of that rounding if you pass small numbers.

It turns out that the cpuacct results properly account for offline
cpus, and always returns results for every possible cpu, not just
the online ones. So there is no need to check the map of online
cpus in the first place, merely only a need to know the maximum
possible cpu. Meanwhile, virNodeGetCPUBitmap had a subtle change
from returning the maximum id to instead returning the width of
the bitmap (one larger than the maximum id) in commit 2f4c5338,
which made this code encounter some off-by-one logic leading to

I did a 'git add .', then realized that it ended up trying to

sense for preventing such a mistake from actually hitting upstream.

Callers should not need to know what the name of the file to
be read in the Linux-specific version of nodeGetCPUmap;
furthermore, qemu cares about online cpus, not present cpus,
when determining which cpus to skip.

I finally have all the pieces in place to perform a block-commit with
SELinux enforcing. There's still missing cleanup work when the commit
completes, but doing that requires tracking both the backing chain and
the base and top files within that chain in domain XML across libvirtd
restarts. Furthermore, from a security standpoint, once you have
granted access, you must assume any damage that can be done will be
done; later revoking access is nice to minimize the window of damage,
but less important as it does not affect the fact that damage can be
done in the first place. Therefore, deferring the revoke efforts until
we have better XML tracking of what chain operations are in effect,
including across a libvirtd restart, is reasonable.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Label disks as
needed.
(qemuDomainPrepareDiskChainElement): Cast away const.
Previously, snapshot code did its own permission granting (lock
manager, cgroup device controller, and security manager labeling)
inline. But now that we are adding block-commit and block-copy
which also have to change permissions, it's better to reuse
common code for the task. While snapshot should fall back to
no access if read-write access failed, block-commit will want to
fall back to read-only access. The common code doesn't know
whether failure to grant read-write access should revert to no
access (snapshot, block-copy) or read-only access (block-commit).
This code can also be used to revoke access to unused files after
block-pull.
It might be nice to clean things up in a future patch by adding
new functions to the lock manager, cgroup manager, and security
manager that takes a single file name and applies context of a
disk to that file, rather than the current semantics of applying
context to the entire chain already associated to a disk. That
way, we could avoid the games this patch plays of temporarily
swapping out the disk->src and related fields of the disk. But
that would involve more code changes, so this patch really is
the smallest hack for doing the necessary work; besides, this
patch is more or less code motion (the hack was already employed
by the snapshot creation code, we are just making it reusable).
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive)
(qemuDomainSnapshotUndoSingleDiskActive): Refactor labeling hacks...
(qemuDomainPrepareDiskChainElement): ...into new function.
Now that we can crawl the chain of backing files, we can do
argument validation and implement the 'shallow' flag. In
testing this, I discovered that it can be handy to pass the
shallow flag and an explicit base, as a means of validating
that the base is indeed the file we expected.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Crawl through
chain to implement shallow flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainBlockCommit): Relax API.
This is the bare minimum to kick off a block commit. In particular,
flags support is missing (shallow requires us to crawl the backing
chain to determine the file name to pass to the qemu monitor command;
delete requires us to track what needs to be deleted at the time
the completion event fires). Also, we are relying on qemu to do
error checking (such as validating 'top' and 'base' as being members
of the backing chain), including the fact that the current qemu code
does not support committing the active layer (although it is still
planned to add that before qemu 1.3). Since the active layer won't
change, we have it easy and do not have to alter the domain XML.
Additionally, this will fail if SELinux is enforcing, because we fail
to grant qemu proper read/write access to the files it will modify.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): New function.

We used to walk the backing file chain at least twice per disk,
once to set up cgroup device whitelisting, and once to set up
security labeling. Rather than walk the chain every iteration,
which possibly includes calls to fork() in order to open root-squashed
NFS files, we can exploit the cache of the previous patch.

Technically, we should not be re-probing any file that qemu might
be currently writing to. As such, we should cache the backing
file chain prior to starting qemu. This patch adds the cache,
but does not use it until the next patch.
Ultimately, we want to also store the chain in domain XML, so that
it is remembered across libvirtd restarts, and so that the only
kosher way to modify the backing chain of an offline domain will be
through libvirt API calls, but we aren't there yet. So for now, we
merely invalidate the cache any time we do a live operation that
alters the chain (block-pull, block-commit, external disk snapshot),
as well as tear down the cache when the domain is not running.

In order to temporarily label files read/write during a commit

function.
* src/util/storage_file.h: Declare it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (storage_file.h): Export it.
In order to search for a backing file name as literally present

Requiring pre-allocation was an unusual idiom. It allowed iteration

At one point, the code passed through arbitrary strings for file
formats, which supposedly lets qemu handle a new file type even
before libvirt has been taught to handle it. However, to properly
label files, libvirt has to learn the file type anyway, so we
might as well make our life easier by only accepting file types
that we are prepared to handle. This patch lets the RNG validation
ensure that only known strings are let through.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (driverFormat): Limit to list of
supported strings.

We have historically allowed 'aio' as a synonym for 'raw' for
back-compat to xen, but since a future patch will move to using
an enum value, we have to pick one to be our preferred output
name. This is a slight change in the output XML, but the sexpr
and xm outputs should still be identical, and the input XML can
still use either form.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath): Move aio

When an image has no backing file, using VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO
for its type is a bit confusing. Additionally, a future patch
would like to reserve a default value for the case of no file
type specified in the XML, but different from the current use
of -1 to imply probing, since probing is not always safe.
Also, a couple of file types were missing compared to supported
code: libxl supports 'vhd', and qemu supports 'fat' for directories
passed through as a file system.

I was using qemu-monitor-command during development, and found it quite
hard to use. Compare the results of this patch on ease of reading:
$ virsh qemu-monitor-command dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'
{"return":{"qemu":{"micro":1,"minor":12,"major":0},"package":"(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"},"id":"libvirt-7683"}
$ virsh qemu-monitor-command --pretty dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'
{
"return": {
"qemu": {
"micro": 1,
"minor": 12,
"major": 0
},
"package": "(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"
},
"id": "libvirt-7674"
}
* tools/virsh-host.c (cmdQemuMonitorCommand): New option.
* tools/virsh.pod (qemu-monitor-command): Document it.
This reverts part of commit 5468594f465; the perl changes in that
patch were sufficient. Since libvirt.syms is already a generated
file created in part from libvirt_private.syms, we don't need a
second pass over libvirt_private.syms in isolation.
* src/Makefile.am: Undo addition of check-private-symfile.
I noticed that in two places, we require util-linux, and in a third,
we require util-linux-ng. On Fedora (I tested F15 through rawhide),
util-linux-ng is obsoleted by util-linux; on RHEL 6, util-linux
is obsoleted by util-linux-ng. That is, on either platform, either
name will get you the correct package installed (where the preferred
name on fedora is util-linux, and on RHEL 6 is util-linux-ng). But
on RHEL 5, there is no util-linux-ng
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Use util-linux, not util-linux-ng.
Use of the wrong attribute name caused the table of contents to
be useless. Fix suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.
* docs/migration.html.in: Use correct anchoring attribute.
Several gnulib tests were failing 'make check', and compilation with
CFLAGS=-g failed due to a gcc 4.2.1 limitation.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for gcc 4.2 support and fixed FreeBSD tests.
Commit c579d6b added a sledgehammer to silence spurious warnings from
gcc 4.2, but in the process, it also silenced useful warnings from
gcc 4.3 through 4.5. As a result, a bug slipped in to commit 0caccb58.
Tested with FreeBSD (gcc 4.2.1), RHEL 6.3 (gcc 4.4), and F17 (gcc 4.7.2),
where the former didn't trip on spurious warnings, and where the latter
two detected a revert of 2b804cf.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (-Wno-format): Probe for the actual
spurious message, to once again allow gcc 4.4 to use -Wformat.
Introduced in commit 0caccb58.

../../src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: In function 'qemuCapsInitQMP':
../../src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c:2327:13: error: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 8 has type 'const char *' [-Werror=format]
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsInitQMP): Use correct format.
Commit f6430390 broke builds on RHEL 5, where glibc (2.5) is too
old to support mkostemp (2.7) or htole64 (2.9). While gnulib
has mkostemp, it still lacks htole64; and it's not worth dragging
in replacements on systems where journald is unlikely to exist
in the first place, so we just use an extra configure-time check
as our witness of whether to attempt compiling the code.
* src/util/logging.c (virLogParseOutputs): Don't attempt to
compile journald on older glibc.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check for htole64.
