If both nodes do not have any children, we pass zero to
virBitmapAlloc which returns NULL. In turn we report OOM error
and return false (meaning nodes are different). This is not true.
This partly reverts my previous patch f88de3eb. We need to
get file status after open, as given path could have been symlink,
so fstat() will operate on different file than lstat().
One of my latest patches 2e37bf42d2
copy serial console definition. On domain shutdown we save this
info into state XML. However, later on the daemon start we simply
drop this info and since we are not re-reading qemu log,
vm->def->consoles[0] does not get populated with copy. Therefore
we need to avoid dropping console definition if it is just alias
for serial console.
Up to now users have to give a full XML description on input when
device-detaching. If they omitted something it lead to unclear
error messages (like generated MAC wasn't found, etc.).
With this patch users can specify only those information which
specify one device sufficiently precise. Remaining information is
completed from domain.
Now, when we support multiple consoles per domain,
the vm->def->console[0] can still remain an alias
for vm->def->serial[0]; However, we need to copy
it's source definition as well otherwise we'll regress
on virDomainOpenConsole.
If daemon is using SASL it reads client data into a cache. This cache is
big (usually 65KB) and can thus contain 2 or more messages. However,
on socket event we can dispatch only one message. So if we read two
messages at once, the second will not be dispatched as the socket event
goes away with filling the cache.
Moreover, when dispatching the cache we need to remember to take care
of client max requests limit.
If a disk source gets dropped because it is not accessible,
mgmt application might want to be informed about this. Therefore
we need to emit an event. The event presented in this patch
is however a bit superset of what written above. The reason is simple:
an intention to be easily expanded, e.g. on 'user ejected disk
in guest' events. Therefore, callback gets source string and disk alias
(which should be unique among a domain) and reason (an integer);
This patch implements on_missing feature in qemu driver.
Upon qemu startup process an accessibility of CDROMs
and floppy disks is checked. The source might get dropped
if unavailable and on_missing is set accordingly.
No event is emit thought. Look for follow up patch.
This patch is rather cosmetic as it only moves device alias
assignation from command line construction just before that.
However, it is needed in connotation of previous and next patch.
This attribute says what to do with cdrom (or floppy) if
the source is missing. It accepts:
- mandatory - fail if missing for any reason (the default)
- requisite - fail if missing on boot up, drop if missing on
migrate/restore/revert
- optional - drop if missing at any start attempt.
However, this patch introduces only XML part of this new
functionality.
As this is needed. Although some functions check for domain
being active before obtaining job, we need to check it after,
because obtaining job unlocks domain object, during which
a state of domain can be changed.
Currently, push & pop from event queue (both server & client side)
rely on lock from higher levels, e.g. on driver lock (qemu),
private_data (remote), ...; This alone is not sufficient as not
every function that interacts with this queue can/does lock,
esp. in client where we have a different approach, "passing
the buck".
Therefore we need a separate lock just to protect event queue.

This patch extends qemudDomainCoreDump so it supports new VIR_DUMP_RESET
flag. If this flag is set, domain is reset on successful dump. However,
this is needed to be done after we start CPUs.
If parsing qemu command line fails (e.g. because of non-existing
process number supplied), we jump to cleanup label where we free
pidfile. Therefore it needs to be initialized. Otherwise we free
random pointer.
Currently, qemuDomainGetXMLDesc and qemudDomainGetInfo check for
outstanding synchronous job before (eventual) monitor entering.
However, there can be already async job set, e.g. migration.
If the daemon is restarted so we reconnect to monitor, cdrom media
can be ejected. In that case we don't want to show it in domain xml,
or require it on migration destination.
To check for disk status use 'info block' monitor command.
If a domain has inactive XML we want to transfer it to destination
when migrating with VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST. In order to harm
the migration protocol as least as possible, a optional cookie was
chosen.
Although we were initializing worker threads during pool creating,
we missed this during virThreadPoolSendJob. This bug led to segmenation
fault as worker thread free() given argument.
If libvirt daemon gets restarted and there is (at least) one
unresponsive qemu, the startup procedure hangs up. This patch creates
one thread per vm in which we try to reconnect to monitor. Therefore,
blocking in one thread will not affect other APIs.
This patch creates an optional BeginJob queue size limit. When
active, all other attempts above level will fail. To set this
feature assign desired value to max_queued variable in qemu.conf.
Setting it to 0 turns it off.
This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).
For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.
The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.
To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.
If users wants to connect to remote unix socket, e.g.
'qemu+unix://<remote>/system' currently the <remote> part is ignored,
ending up connecting to localhost. Connecting to remote socket is not
supported and user should have used TLS/TCP/SSH instead.
Although we are flushing cache after some critical writes (e.g.
volume creation), after some others we do not (e.g. volume cloning).
This patch fix this issue. That is for volume cloning, writing
header of logical volume, and storage wipe.
When spice_tls is set but listen_tls is not, we don't initialize
GnuTLS library. So any later gnutls call (e.g. during migration,
where we initialize a certificate) will access uninitialized GnuTLS
internal structs and throws an error.
Although, we might now initialize GnuTLS twice, it is safe according
to the documentation:
This function can be called many times,
but will only do something the first time.
This patch creates 2 functions: virNetTLSInit and virNetTLSDeinit
with respect to written above.
As written in virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD decription, caller
must free metadata after use. Qemu driver miss this and therefore
leak metadata which can grow to huge mem leak if somebody query
for blockInfo a lot.
Every DomainNetDef has a bandwidth, as does every portgroup.
Whenever a DomainNetDef of type NETWORK is about to be used, a call is
made to networkAllocateActualDevice(). This function chooses the "best"
bandwidth object and places it in the DomainActualNetDef.
From that point on, whenever some code needs to use the bandwidth data
for the interface, it's retrieved with virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(),
which will always return the "best" info as determined in the
previous step.
These functions parse given XML node and return pointer to the
output. Unknown elements are silently ignored. Attributes must
be integer and must fit in unsigned long long.
Free function frees elements of virBandwidth structure.
Define new 'bandwidth' element with possible child element 'inbound'
and 'outbound' addressing incoming and outgoing traffic respectively:
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
<outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>
Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.
The units for average and peak (rate) are in kilobytes per second,
for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.
This introduces new API virDomainDestroyFlags to allow
domain destroying with flags, as the existing API virDomainDestroy
misses flags.
The set of flags is defined in virDomainDestroyFlagsValues enum,
which is currently commented, because it is empty.
Calling this API with no flags set (@flags == 0) is equivalent calling
virDomainDestroy.
DMI table is Intel & Intel-compatible specific. Therefore other
architectures miss dmidecode command. So we always fail in searching
for that command on non-Intel architectures.
Getting metadata on storage allocates a memory (path) which need to
be freed after use otherwise it gets leaked. This means after use of
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD or virStorageFileGetMetadata one
must call virStorageFileFreeMetadata to free it. This function frees
structure internals and structure itself.
This patch creates new <bios> element which, at this time has only the
attribute useserial='yes|no'. This attribute allow users to use
Serial Graphics Adapter and see BIOS messages from the very first moment
domain boots up. Therefore, users can choose boot medium, set PXE, etc.
This option accepts 3 values:
-keep, to keep current client connected (Spice+VNC)
-disconnect, to disconnect client (Spice)
-fail, to fail setting password if there is a client connected (Spice)
Although we create a temporary file, it is owned by root:root and have
rights 0600. In case qemu does not run under root, it is unable to write
to that file and thus we transfer 0B sized file.
For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
If spice graphics has no <channel> elements, the output graphics XML
is messed up. To prevent this, we need to end the <graphics> element
just before adding any compression selecting elements.
This is the API agreed on in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg00026.html
(with a slight name change to use "...begin" rather than
"...start"). This implements transactional changes to the host network
config. When a transaction is begun with ncf_change_begin(), all other
netcf APIs will continue to work as they always have, but a snapshot
of the existing config will be taken, allowing reversion (rollback,
using ncf_change_rollback()) to the exact state of config at the time
ncf_change_begin() was called. Alternately, if it's determined that
the new changes are acceptable, ncf_change_commit() can be called,
which will eliminate the snapshot and make the changes permanent.
As a failsafe measure, if neither ncf_change_commit() or
ncf_change_rollback() is called by the next time the system reboots,
the netcf-transaction initscript will be automatically called to
rollback the changes.
Saving domain to previously created file changes also its ownership.
This is certainly not what users want if some conditions are met:
it is a regular, local file and dynamic_ownership is off.
py_str() function call PyString_AsString(). As written in documentation,
the caller must not free the returned value, because it points to some
internal structures.
This is needed if we want to transfer a temporary file. If the
transfer is done with iohelper, we might run into a race condition,
where we unlink() file before iohelper is executed.
