virRun gives pretty useful error output, let's not overwrite it unless there
is a good reason. Some places were providing more information about what
the commands were _attempting_ to do, however that's usually less useful from
a debugging POV than what actually happened.
In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available

If vnc_auto_unix_socket is enabled, any VNC devices without a hardcoded
listen or socket value will be setup to serve over a unix socket in
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.vnc.
We store the generated socket path in the transient VM definition at
CLI build time.
QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>
This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').
Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.
v2:
schema: Make listen vs. socket a <choice>
This will allow us to record transient runtime state in vm->def, like
default VNC parameters. Accomplish this by adding an extra 'live' parameter
to SetDefTransient, with similar semantics to the 'live' flag for
AssignDef.
On Fedore 14, virt-manager spews a bunch of warnings to the console:
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py:1781: PendingDeprecationWarning: The CObject type is marked Pending Deprecation in Python 2.7. Please use capsule objects instead.
Have libvirt use the capsule API if available. I've verified this compiles
fine on older python (2.6 in RHEL6 which doesn't have capsules), and
virt-manager seems to function fine.
After the remote driver runs an event callback, it unconditionally disables the
loop timer, thinking it just flushed every queued event. This doesn't work
correctly though if an event is queued while a callback is running.
The events actually aren't being lost, it's just that the event loop didn't
think there was anything that needed to be dispatched. So all those 'lost
events' should actually get re-triggered if you manually kick the loop by
generating a new event (like creating a new guest).
The solution is to disable the dispatch timer _before_ we invoke any event
callbacks. Events queued while a callback is running will properly reenable the
timer.

Without this fix, the test suite doesn't print error messages when a libvirt
function fails. Additionally, only print error reports if DEBUG or VERBOSE
requested.
Do this by adding a helper function to get the persistent domain config. This
should be useful for other functions that may eventually want to alter
the persistent domain config (attach/detach device). Also make similar changes
to the test drivers setvcpus command.
A caveat is that the function will return the running config for a transient
domain, rather than error. This simplifies callers, as long as they use
other methods to ensure the guest is persistent.
Doing 'virsh setvcpus $vm --config 10' doesn't check the value against the
domains maxvcpus value. A larger value for example will prevent the guest
from starting.
Also make a similar change to the test driver.
The current semantics of non-persistent hotplug/update are confusing: the
changes will persist as long as the in memory domain definition isn't
overwritten. This means hotplug changes stay around until the domain is
redefined or libvirtd is restarted.
Call virDomainObjSetDefTransient at VM startup, so that we properly discard
hotplug changes when the VM is shutdown.
This function sets the running domain definition as transient, by reparsing
the persistent config and assigning it to newDef. This ensures that any
changes made to the running definition and not the persistent config are
discarded when the VM is shutdown.
QEMU allows forcing a CDROM eject even if the guest has locked the device.
Expose this via a new UpdateDevice flag, VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_FORCE.

v2: Change flag name, bool cleanups
The current code will go into an infinite loop if the printf generated
string is >= 1000, AND exactly 1 character smaller than the amount of free
space in the buffer. When this happens, we are dropped into the loop body,
but nothing will actually change, because count == (buf->size - buf->use - 1),
and virBufferGrow returns unchanged if count < (buf->size - buf->use)
Fix this by removing the '- 1' bit from 'size'. The *nprintf functions handle
the NULL byte for us anyways, so we shouldn't need to manually accommodate
for it.
Here's a bug where we are actually hitting this issue:

All <console> devices now export a <target> type attribute. QEMU defaults
to 'serial', UML defaults to 'uml, xen can be either 'serial' or 'xen'
depending on fullvirt. Understandably there is lots of test fallout.
This will be used to differentiate between a serial vs. virtio console for
QEMU.

There is actually a difference between the character device type (serial,
parallel, channel, ...) and the target type (virtio, guestfwd). Currently
they are awkwardly conflated.
Start to pull them apart by renaming targetType -> deviceType. This is
an entirely mechanical change.

Add a new element to the <os> block:
<bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>
Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.
I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.
We only use libpciaccess for resolving device product/vendor. If
initializing the library fails (say if using qemu:///session), don't
warn so loudly, and carry on as usual.
Any error message raised after the process has forked needs
to be followed by virDispatchError, otherwise we have no chance of
ever seeing it. This was selectively done for hook functions in the past,
but really applies to all post-fork errors.
If VM startup fails early enough (can't find a referenced USB device),
libvirtd will crash trying to clear the VNC port bit, since port = 0,
which overflows us out of the bitmap bounds.
Fix this by being more defensive in the bitmap operations, and only
clearing a previously set VNC port.

Some files under /sys/bus/usb/devices/ have the format 'usbX', where
X is the USB bus number. Use STRPREFIX to correctly parse the bus numbers.
If a directory pool contains pipes or sockets, a pool start can fail or hang:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589577
We already try to avoid these special files, but only attempt after
opening the path, which is where the problems lie. Unify volume opening
into helper functions, which use the proper open() flags to avoid error,
followed by fstat to validate storage mode.
Previously, virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD attempted to enforce the
storage mode check, but allowed callers to detect this case and silently
continue. In practice, only the FS backend was using this feature, the rest
were treating unknown mode as an error condition. Unfortunately the InfoFD
function wasn't raising an error message here, so error reporting was
busted.
This patch adds 2 functions: virStorageBackendVolOpen, and
virStorageBackendVolOpenModeSkip. The latter retains the original opt out
semantics, the former now throws an explicit error.
This patch maintains the previous volume mode checks: allowing specific
modes for specific pool types requires a bit of surgery, since VolOpen
is called through several different helper functions.
v2: Use ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL. Drop stat check, just open with
O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY.
v3: Move mode check logic back to VolOpen. Use 2 VolOpen functions with
different error semantics.
v4: Make second VolOpen function more extensible. Didn't opt to change
FS backend defaults, this can just be to fix the original bug.
v5: Prefix default flags with VIR_, use ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK

If using the default virtual network, an easy way to lose guest network
connectivity is to install libvirt inside the VM. The autostarted
default network inside the guest collides with host virtual network
routing. This is a long standing issue that has caused users quite a
bit of pain and confusion.
On network startup, parse /proc/net/route and compare the requested
IP+netmask against host routing destinations: if any matches are found,
refuse to start the network.
v2: Drop sscanf, fix a comment typo, comment that function could use
libnl instead of /proc
v3: Consider route netmask. Compare binary data rather than convert to
string.
v4: Return to using sscanf, drop inet functions in favor of virSocket,
parsing safety checks. Don't make parse failures fatal, in case
expected format changes.
v5: Try and continue if we receive unexpected. Delimit parsed lines to
prevent scanning past newline

Spurious / in a pool target path makes life difficult for apps using the
GetVolByPath, and doing other path based comparisons with pools. This
has caused a few issues for virt-manager users:

Add a new util API which removes spurious /, virFileSanitizePath. Sanitize
target paths when parsing pool XML, and for paths passed to GetVolByPath.
v2: Leading // must be preserved, properly sanitize path=/, sanitize
away /./ -> /
v3: Properly handle starting ./ and ending /.
v4: Drop all '.' handling, just sanitize / for now.
Currently all host audio backends are disabled if a VM is using VNC, in
favor of the QEMU VNC audio extension. Unfortunately no released VNC
client supports this extension, so users have no way of getting audio
to work if using VNC.
Add a new config option in qemu.conf which allows changing libvirt's
behavior, but keep the default intact.
v2: Fix doc typos, change name to vnc_allow_host_audio
Volume detection in the scsi backend was duplicating code already
present in storage_backend.c. Let's drop the duplicate code.
Also, change the shared function name to be less generic, and remove
some error squashing in the other call site.
We were squashing error messages in a few cases. Recode to follow common
ret = -1 convention.
v2: Handle more error squashing issues further up in MakeNewVol and
CreateVols. Use ret = -1 convention in MakeVols.
/etc/sysconfig/libvirtd has a few environment variables for configuring
libvirt SDL audio. The libvirtd process doesn't see these, however, because
they are never exported. Let's export the variables after sourcing the
sysconfig script.
There is another problem here that the commented out values in the
sysconfig script are not neccessarily the actual defaults, we are qemus
mercy here. Not sure how to solve that.
The current cleanup: in StartVMDaemon path is a poor duplication.

Pointing out these two error messages as unclear: "write save" sounds
like a typo without context, and lack of a colon made the second message
difficult to parse.
The max path length for unix sockets is pretty small (108, see man 7 unix).
If 'make check' is run from a directory that exceeds this, one of the tests
will fail, and in such a way that requires manually editting the test to
determine why.
There are certainly other ways to handle this, but I've chosen just to skip
the offending test if we will exceed the length limitation.
v2: Drop bashism, use test infrastructure to warn and skip
qemuReadLogOutput early VM death detection is racy and won't always work.

Kind of minor, but it annoys me that the default auth callback

From time to time I bork my install, and hate it when the initscript

If I toggle enable_tcp in libvirtd.conf and add --listen in
/etc/init.d/libvirtd, I get the unhelpful error:
Starting libvirtd daemon: error: Unable to initialize network sockets.
Running without --daemon provides much more useful info:
sudo libvirtd --listen
11:29:26.117: error : remoteCheckCertFile:270 : Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory
The daemon architecture makes it difficult to report this useful
info if daemonized, so point users to /var/log/messages and
dropping the --daemon flag if they want more info.
Only API calls trigger the error callback, which is required for
proper virsh error reporting. Since we use non API functions from
util/, make sure we properly report these errors.

We were using 'Y' to mean exabyte, when the correct abbreviation would be
'E' ('Y' is yettabyte, which is exabyte * 1024 * 1024). While it isn't
strictly backwards compatible, I highly doubt anyone was actually using
this broken behavior, so I don't see any harm in in dropping 'Y' handling.
Currently we just error with ex. 'virbr0: No such device'.
Since we are using public API calls here, we need to ensure that any
raised error is properly saved and restored, since API entry points
always reset messages.
virGetLastError returns NULL if no error has been set, not on
allocation error like virSetError assumed. Use virLastErrorObject
instead. This fixes virSetError when no error is currently stored.
The recent commit to implement a python version of this function
didn't drop an explicit 'ignore' check in the generator, so this
never ended up in the bindings.
Similar to the Set*Mem commands, this implementation was bogus and
misleading. Make it clear this is a hotplug only operation, and that the
hotplug piece isn't even implemented.
Also drop the overkill maxvcpus validation: we don't perform this check
at XML define time so clearly no one is missing it, and there is
always the risk that our info will be out of date, possibly preventing
legitimate CPU values.

SetMem and SetMaxMem are hotplug only APIs, any persistent config
changes are supposed to go via XML definition. The original implementation
of these calls were incorrect and had the nasty side effect of making
a psuedo persistent change that would be lost after libvirtd restart
(I didn't know any better).
Fix these APIs to rightly reject non running domains.

Currently the timeout for reading startup output is 3 seconds. If the
host is under any sort of load, we can easily trigger this. Lets bump
it to 30 seconds.
Since the polling loop checks to see if the process has died, we shouldn't
erroneously hit this timeout if qemu bombs (only if it is stuck in some
infinite loop).
