As qemu is now able to notify us about change of the channel state used
for communication with the guest agent we now can more precisely track
the state of the guest agent.
To allow notifying management apps this patch implements a new event
that will be triggered on changes of the guest agent state.
Improve the monitor function to also retrieve the guest state of
character device (if provided) so that we can refresh the state of
virtio-serial channels and perhaps react to changes in the state in
future patches.
This patch changes the returned data from qemuMonitorGetChardevInfo to
return a structure containing the pty path and the state for all the
character devices.
The change to the testsuite makes sure that the data is parsed
correctly.
To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
As we now have a common function to parse backing store string for RBD
backing store we can reuse it in the backing store walker so that we
don't fail on files backed by RBD storage.
This patch also adds a few tests to verify that the parsing works as
expected.
To allow reuse this non-trivial parser code in the backing store parser
this part of the command line parser needs to be split out into a
separate funciton.
Instead of splitting out various fields, pass the complete structure and
let the function pick various things of it.
As one of the callers isn't using virStorageSourcePtr to store the data,
this patch adds glue code that fills the data into a dummy
virStorageSourcePtr before calling the func.
This change will help when adding new fields that need output processing
in the future.
If there are no hosts for a storage source virStorageSourceCopy and
virStorageSourceNewFromBackingRelative would try to copy them anyways.
As the success of virStorageNetHostDefCopy is determined by returning
a pointer and malloc of 0 elements might return NULL according to the
implementation, the result of the copy function may vary.
Fix this by copying the hosts array only if there are hosts defined.
As we now have a deep copy function for struct virStorageSource add a
notice that extensions of the structure require also appropriate changes
to the virStorageSourceCopy func.
The docs describing the <host> element that are under the <source>
element in the XML document were incorrectly placed under the <disk>
element. Move them to the correct place.
New qemu added a new event that is emitted when a virtio serial channel
is opened in the guest OS. This allows us to update the state of the
port in the output-only XML element.
This patch implements the monitor callbacks and necessary handlers to
update the state in the definition.
To track state of virtio channels this patch adds a new output-only
attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.
To unify future additions that require information from "query-chardev"
rename qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths and friends to qemuMonitorGetChardevInfo
and move the allocation of the returned hash into the top level
function.
To simplify looking for a problem instrument the XML comparator function
with possibility to print the filename of the failed/expected XML
output.
This is necessary as the VIR_TEST_DIFFERENT macro possibly tests two XML
files for the inactive/active state and the resulting error may not be
obvious.
When creating a disk image snapshot the libvirt code would blindly copy
the parents label to the newly created image. This runs into problems
when you start a VM from an image hosted on NFS (or other storage system
that doesn't support selinux labels) and the snapshot destination is on
a storage system that does support selinux labels. Libvirt's code in
that case generates a different security label for the image hosted on
NFS. This label is valid only for NFS images and doesn't allow access in
case of a locally stored image.
To fix this issue libvirt needs to refrain from copying security
information in cases where the default domain seclabel is a better
choice.
This patch repurposes the now unused @force argument of
virStorageSourceInitChainElement to denote whether a copy of the
security labelling stuff should be attempted or not. This allows to
fine-control the copy operation for cases where we need to keep the
label of the old disk vs. the cases where we need to keep the label
unset to use the default domain imagelabel.

The remote call actually doesn't free the arguments array so we leak
memory in case a domain list is specified. As the remote domain list
array consists only of stolen pointers from the actual domain objects
it's sufficient just to free the array.

The code that parses the schema from the URI touches the "hosts[0]"
member of the storage file source structure in case the URI contains a
schema. The hosts array was not yet allocated at the point in the code
where the transport protocol was parsed and set. This lead to a crash of
libvirtd.
Fix the code by allocating the "hosts" array upfront and add a test case
to verify this scenario. (Unfortunately this requires shuffling the test
case numbers too).

The documentation for the restore hook states that returning an empty
XML is equivalent with copying the input. There was a bug in the code
checking the returned string by checking the string instead of the
contents. Use the new helper to check if the string is empty.
The helper checks whether a string contains only whitespace or is NULL.
This will be helpful to skip cases where a user string is optional, but
may be provided empty with the same meaning.
To allow live modification of device backends in qemu libvirt needs to
be able to hot-add/remove "objects". Add monitor backend functions to
allow this.
This function will be used for hot-add/remove of RNG backends,
IOThreads, memory backing objects, etc.
The JSON structure constructor has an option to add JSON arrays to the
constructed object. The description is inaccurate as it can add any json
object even a dict. Change the docs to cover this option and reject
adding NULL objects.
Our qemu monitor code has a converter from key-value pairs to a json
value object. I want to re-use the code later and having it part of the
monitor command generator is inflexible. Split it out into a separate
helper.
Few places still used hardcoded limit for maximum XML size for commands
that accept XML files. The hardcoded limits ranged from 8k to 1M. Use
VSH_MAX_XML_FILE to express this limit in a unified way. This will bump
the limit for the commands that used hardcoded string lengths to 10M.

While our code gathers block stats via "query-blockstats" some
information need to be gathered via "query-block". Add a helper function
that will update the blockstats structure if requested.
The current block stats code matched up the disk name with the actual
stats by the order in the data returned from qemu. This unfortunately
isn't right as qemu may return the disks in any order. Fix this by
returning a hash of stats and index them by the disk alias.
Since 363e9a68 we track backing chain metadata when creating snapshots
the right way even for the inactive configuration. As we did not yet
update other code paths that modify the backing chain (blockpull) the
newDef backing chain gets out of sync.
After stopping of a VM the new definition gets copied to the next start
one. The new VM then has incorrect backing chain info. This patch
switches the backing chain detector to always purge the existing backing
chain and forces re-detection to avoid this issue until we'll have full
backing chain tracking support.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144922
Request erroring out from the backing chain traveller and drop qemu's
internal backing chain integrity tester.
The backing chain traveller reports errors by itself with possibly more
detail than qemuDiskChainCheckBroken ever could.
We also need to make sure that we reconnect to existing qemu instances
even at the cost of losing the backing chain info (this really should be
stored in the XML rather than reloaded from disk, but that needs some
work).
Add a new parameter to virStorageFileGetMetadata that will break the
backing chain detection process and report useful error message rather
than having to use virStorageFileChainGetBroken.
This patch just introduces the option, usage will be provided
separately.
Add a new parameter that will allow to return the XML stored in the save
image for further manipulation and adjust the callers. This option will
be used in later patches.
Live definition was used to look up the disk index while persistent one
was indexed leading to a crash in qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune. Use the
correct def and report a nice error.
Unfortunately it's accessible via read-only connection, though it can
only crash libvirtd in the cases where the guest is hot-plugging disks
without reflecting those changes to the persistent definition. So
avoiding hotplug, or doing hotplug where persistent is always modified
alongside live definition, will avoid the out-of-bounds access.

The backing store string location offset 0 determines that the file
isn't present. The string size shouldn't be then checked:
from qemu.git/docs/specs/qcow2.txt
== Header ==
The first cluster of a qcow2 image contains the file header:
Byte 0 - 3: magic
QCOW magic string ("QFI\xfb")
4 - 7: version
Version number (valid values are 2 and 3)
8 - 15: backing_file_offset
Offset into the image file at which the backing file name
is stored (NB: The string is not null terminated). 0 if the
image doesn't have a backing file.
16 - 19: backing_file_size
Length of the backing file name in bytes. Must not be
longer than 1023 bytes. Undefined if the image doesn't have
a backing file. ^^^^^^^^^
This patch intentionally leaves the backing file string size check in
place in case a malformatted file would be presented to libvirt. Also
according to the docs the string size is maximum 1023 bytes, thus this
patch adds a check to verify that.
I was also able to verify that the check was done the same way in the
legacy qcow fromat (in qemu's code).
If a (floppy) drive isn't selected for snapshot explicitly and is empty
don't try to snapshot it. For external snapshots this would fail as we
can't generate a name for the snapshot from an empty drive.
Reported-by: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina@redhat.com>
To express empty drive we historically use storage source with empty
path. Unfortunately NBD disks may be declared without a path.
Add a helper to wrap this logic.
Tweak the messages so that they mention "title" rather than
"description" when operating in title mode. Also fixes one missing "%s"
before non-formatted gettext message.
Before:
$ virsh desc --title dom
No description for domain: dom
After:
$ virsh desc --title dom
No title for domain: dom

virProcessTranslateStatus is used on error paths that should not spoil
the returned error. As the errors are ignored, use the quiet versions of
virAsprintf to create the message.
Return failure right away when the domain object can't be looked up
instead of jumping to cleanup. This allows to remove the condition
before unlocking the domain object.
Creating snapshots modifies the domain state. Currently we wouldn't
enter the job for certain operations although they would modify the
state. Refactor job handling so that everything is covered by an async
job.
Implement the API function for virDomainListGetStats and
virConnectGetAllDomainStats in a modular way and implement the
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE group of statistics.
Although it may look like the function looks universal I'd rather not
expose it to other drivers as the coming stats groups are likely to do
qemu specific stuff to obtain the stats.
Add "domstats" command that excercises both of the new APIs depending if
you specify a domain list or not. The output is printed as a key=value
list of the returned parameters.
The motivation for this API is that management layers that use libvirt
usually poll for statistics using various split up APIs we currently
provide. To get all the necessary stuff, the app needs to issue a lot of
calls and aggregate the results.
The APIs I'm introducing here:
1) Returns data in a format that we can expand in the future and is
(pseudo) hierarchical. The data is returned as typed parameters where
the fields are constructed as dot-separated strings containing names and
other stuff in a list of typed params.
2) Stats for multiple (all) domains can be queried at once and are
returned in one call. This will decrease the overhead necessary to issue
multiple calls per domain multiplied by the count of domains.
3) Selectable (bit mask) fields in the returned format. This will allow
to retrieve only specific stats according to the app's need.
The stats groups will be enabled using a bit field @stats passed as the
function argument. A few sample stats groups that this API will support:
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_CPU
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BLOCK
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_INTERFACE
(Note that this is only an example, the initial implementation supports
only VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE while others will be added later.)
the returned typed params will use the following scheme
state.state = VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING
state.reason = VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING_BOOTED (the actual values according to
the enum)
cpu.count = 8
cpu.0.state = running
cpu.0.time = 1234
When formatting the forward mode addresses or interfaces the switch was
done based on the type of the network rather than of the type of the
individual <interface>/<address> element. In case a user would specify
an incorrect network type ("passhtrough") with <address> elements,
libvirtd would crash as it would attempt to format an <interface>.
Use the type of the individual element to format the XML.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1132347
The "maxMemory" element was never supported by libvirt. Remove it from
the test XMLs. (Found while actually trying to add support for a
identically named element).
When a user would try changing the persistent IO tuning settings for a
disk that was hotplugged to a vm in a transient way, the
qemuDomainSetBlockIoTune API would use the same index for both the
live and config disk array. The disk was missing from the config array
though causing a crash of libvirtd.
To fix the issue, determine the indexes separately.
