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.

Users often edit XML file stored in configuration directory
thinking of modifying a domain/network/pool/etc. Thus it is wise
to let them know they are using the wrong way and give them hint.
Up to now we missed parser for cpuinfo on x390(x) machines. Those machines
have only 1 thread, core, socket. What is missing is information about
CPU frequency.
This extends the SPICE XML to allow variable compression settings for audio,
images and streaming:
<graphics type='spice' port='5901' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'>
<image compression='auto_glz'/>
<jpeg compression='auto'/>
<zlib compression='auto'/>
<playback compression='on'/>
</graphics>
All new elements are optional.

While starting a network, if brSetForwardDelay() fails, we go to err1
where we want to access macTapIfName variable which was just
VIR_FREE'd a few lines above. Instead, keep macTapIfName until we are
certain of success.
This is needed to detect situations when optional argument was
specified with non-integer value: '--int-opt foo'. To keep functions
uniform vshCommandOptString function was also changed, because it
returns tri-state value as well. Given result pointer is updated only
in case of success. If parsing fails, result is not updated at all.
Virsh freecell --all was not only getting wrong NUMA nodes count, but
even the NUMA nodes IDs. They doesn't have to be continuous, as I've
found out during testing this. Therefore a modification of
nodeGetCellsFreeMemory() error message.
A typo s/spice/vnc/ caused parsing of the spice 'auth' data
to write into the wrong part of the struct, blowing away
other unrelated data.
