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.

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

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

Use capabilities to allow a driver to register a default <init> if none
is specified in the XML. Openvz was already open-coding this to be /sbin/init
LXC currently falls over if no init is specified, so an explicit error is
an improvement IMO.
(Side note: I don't think we can set a default value for LXC. If we use
/sbin/init but the user doesn't specify a separate root FS for their guest,
the container will rerun the host's init which can be traumatic :). For
virt-install I'm thinking of defaulting to /sbin/init if a root FS has
been specified, otherwise require the user to manually specify <init>)
Actually execs the argv/env we've generated, replacing the current process.
Kind of has a limited usage, but allows us to use virCommand in LXC
driver to launch the 'init' process

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

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.
