Despite the comment stating virNetClientIncomingEvent handler should
never be called with either client->haveTheBuck or client->wantClose
set, there is a sequence of events that may lead to both booleans being
true when virNetClientIncomingEvent is called. However, when that
happens, we must not immediately close the socket as there are other
threads waiting for the buck and they would cause SIGSEGV once they are
woken up after the socket was closed. Another thing is we should clear
all remaining calls in the queue after closing the socket.
The situation that can lead to the crash involves three threads, one of
them running event loop and the other two calling libvirt APIs. The
event loop thread detects an event on client->sock and calls
virNetClientIncomingEvent handler. But before the handler gets a chance
to lock client, the other two threads (T1 and T2) start calling some
APIs. T1 gets the buck and detects EOF on client->sock while processing
its RPC call. Since T2 is waiting for its own call, T1 passes the buck
on to it and unlocks client. But before T2 gets the signal, the event
loop thread wakes up, does its job and closes client->sock. The crash
happens when T2 actually wakes up and tries to do its job using a closed
client->sock.
When we write a log message into a log, we separate thread ID from
timestamp using ": ". However, when storing the message into the ring
buffer, we omitted the separator, e.g.:

qemu: check backing chains even when cgroup is omitted
added backing file checks just before the code that removes optional
disks if they are not present. However, the backing chain code fails in
case the disk file does not exist, which makes qemuProcessStart fail
regardless on configured startupPolicy.
Note that startupPolicy implementation is still wrong after this patch
since it only check the first file in a possible chain. It should rather
check the complete backing chain. But this is an existing limitation
that can be solved later. After all, startupPolicy is most useful for
CDROM images and they won't make use of backing files in most cases.
At least one caller may call qemuSharedDiskEntryFree with NULL as the
first argument. Let's make the function similar to other *Free functions
and do nothing in such case.
Sparse LVM volumes do not behave in the way one would naively expect.
The allocation does not automatically increase (which is different from
how sparse files work).
This patch plugs two memory leaks, removes some useless and confusing
constructs and renames renames "cleanup" label as "error" since it is
only used for error path rather then being common for both success and
error paths.
qemuProcessStart expects to be run with a job already set and every
caller except for qemuMigrationPrepareAny use it correctly. This bug can
be observed in libvirtd logs during incoming migration as
warning : qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorInternal:979 : This thread seems
to be the async job owner; entering monitor without asking for a
nested job is dangerous
As a side effect, this also fixes reporting disk migration process.
It was added to memory migration progress, which was wrong. Disk
progress has dedicated fields in virDomainJobInfo structure.
remoteDeserializeTypedParameters can now be called with either
preallocated params array (size of which is announced by nparams) or it
can allocate params array according to the number of parameters received
from the server.
To avoid having to hold the qemu driver lock while iterating through
close callbacks and calling them. This fixes a real deadlock when a
domain which is being migrated from another host gets autodestoyed as a
result of broken connection to the other host.
Due to "feature"/"features" nasty typo, any features marked as mandatory
by one side of a migration are silently considered optional by the other
side. The following is the code that formats mandatory features in
migration cookie:
for (i = 0 ; i < QEMU_MIGRATION_COOKIE_FLAG_LAST ; i++) {
if (mig->flagsMandatory & (1 << i))
virBufferAsprintf(buf, " <feature name='%s'/>\n",
qemuMigrationCookieFlagTypeToString(i));
}
We need to drop the server lock before calling virObjectUnlock(client)
since in case we had the last reference to the client, its dispose
callback would be called and that could possibly try to lock the server
and cause a deadlock. This is exactly what happens when there is only
one QEMU domain running and it is marked to be autodestroyed when the
connection dies. This results in qemuProcessAutoDestroy ->
qemuProcessStop -> virNetServerRemoveShutdownInhibition call sequence,
where the last function locks the server.
The function does not report any errors so there should be no need too
reset an existing error first. Moreover, virTypedParamsFree is mostly
called in cleanup phase where it has the potential to reset any useful
reported earlier.
When running sanitytest.py we should not rely on libvirt library
installed on the system. And since we generate a nice wrapper called
"run" that sets both PYTHON_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, we should just use
it rather than trying to duplicate it in the Makefile.
libvirt.c calls curl_global_init() if WITH_CURL is defined and thus it
should be linked with libcurl. This fixes link failure in case neither
xenapi nor esx driver is enabled (they are the only users of libcurl).
When a changelog entry references an RPM macro, % needs to be escaped so
that it does not appear expanded in package changelog.
Fri Mar 4 2009 is incorrect since Mar 4 was Wednesday. Since
libvirt-0.6.1 was released on Mar 4 2009, we should change Fri to Wed.
The macro was made to help installing broken packages that did not use
DESTDIR correctly by overriding individual path variables (prefix,
sysconfdir, ...). Newer rpm provides fixed make_install macro that calls
make install with just the correct DESTDIR, however it is not available
everywhere (e.g., RHEL 5 does not have it). On the other hand the
make_install macro is simple and straightforward enough for us to use
its expansion directly.

virDomainSnapshot.getDomain() and virDomainSnapshot.getConnect()
wrappers around virDomainSnapshotGet{Domain,Connect} were not supposed
to be ever implemented. The class should contain proper domain() and
connect() accessors that fetch python objects stored internally within
the class. While domain() was already provided, connect() was missing.
This patch adds connect() method to virDomainSnapshot class and
reimplements getDomain() and getConnect() methods as aliases to domain()
and connect() for backward compatibility.
Working with virTypedParameters in clients written in C is ugly and
requires all clients to duplicate the same code. This set of APIs makes
this code for manipulating with virTypedParameters integral part of
libvirt so that all clients may benefit from it.
Unfortunately, rpm is stupid enough to bytycompile python scripts even
though they are located in /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-*/examples and
it does so after %install phase is finished. Thus there's no way we
could remove those files from BUILDROOT. As a workaround, we may safely
remove the examples subdirectory completely without losing anything. The
python scripts that were installed there are also copied directly into
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-*/ by
%doc python/tests/*.py
rule. And yes, the files are actually tests, not examples.
Using s/#authorslist#/$$out/ makes perl eat @domain part of all email
addresses from $out since it tries to interpret them as array variables.
I'm not sure if we can escape those in s/// but I know we can use print:
s/#authorslist#// and print '$$out'
to tell perl not to even look inside $out.
This patch also fixes gen-AUTHORS so that it works in VPATH.
Unmanaged PCI devices were only leaked if pciDeviceListAdd failed but
managed devices were always leaked. And leaking PCI device is likely to
leave PCI config file descriptor open. This patch fixes
qemuReattachPciDevice to either free the PCI device or add it to the
inactivePciHostdevs list.
An attempt to attach device that is already attached to a domain results
in the following error:
virsh # attach-device rhel6 pci2 --persistent
error: Failed to attach device from pci2
error: invalid argument: device is already in the domain configuration
The "invalid argument" error code looks wrong, we usually use "operation
invalid" when the action cannot be done in current state.
We always expose individual bits from flags as separate options rather
than exposing a raw flags options. Since virNodeSuspendForDuration does
not currently support any flags, the only way of using this --flags
options that would not fail is "--flags 0", which is equivalent to
omitting the option. Thus it is highly unlikely anyone would actually be
using it and removing it should be safe.
Having hostuuid in migration cookie is a nice bonus since it provides an
easy way of detecting migration to the same host. However, requiring it
breaks backward compatibility with older libvirt releases.
Recently, patches were added support for (managed)saving, restoring, and
migrating domains with host USB devices. However, qemu driver would
still forbid migration of such domains because qemuMigrationIsAllowed
was not updated.
When libvirt cannot find a suitable CPU model for host CPU (easily
reproducible by running libvirt in a guest), it would not provide CPU
topology in capabilities XML either. Even though CPU topology is known
and can be queried by virNodeGetInfo. With this patch, CPU topology will
always be provided in capabilities XML regardless on the presence of CPU
model.
This should not make a big difference in real world since libvirt-daemon,
which is already required by libvirt-lock-sanlock, requires
libvirt-client and thus libvirt-lock-sanlock gets this dependency
transitively. However, since libvirt-lock-sanlock contains
sanlock_helper binary linked to libvirt.so, we should start requiring
libvirt-client directly.
When p2p migration fails early because qemuMigrationIsAllowed or
qemuMigrationIsSafe say migration should be cancelled, we fail to clear
the migration-out async job. As a result of that, further APIs called
for the same domain may fail with Timed out during operation: cannot
acquire state change lock.
Reported by Guido Winkelmann.
The previous commit was incomplete. We need to also add explicit
Requires for the newer version since RPM's automatic dependencies won't
work with sanlock.
libvirt started using sanlock_killpath to implement on_lockfailure
action. Since sanlock_killpath was introduced in sanlock 2.4, libvirt
fails to build with older sanlock.
When startupPolicy set for a USB devices allows such device to be
missing, there was no way this could be detected from domain XML. With
this patch, libvirt emits a new missing='yes' attribute for such devices
when active domain XML is generated.
Save/restore with passed through USB devices currently only works if the
USB device can be found at the same USB address where it used to be
before saving a domain. This makes sense in case a user explicitly
configure the USB address in domain XML. However, if the device was
found automatically by vendor/product identification, we should try to
search for that device when restoring the domain and use any device we
find as long as there is only one available. In other words, the USB
device can now be removed and plugged again or the host can be rebooted
between saving and restoring the domain.
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.
All USB device lookup functions emit an error when they cannot find the
requested device. With this patch, their caller can choose if a missing
device is an error or normal condition.
The code which looks up a USB device specified by hostdev is duplicated
in two places. This patch creates a dedicated function that can be
called in both places.
USB devices can disappear without OS being mad about it, which makes
them ideal for startupPolicy. With this attribute, USB devices can be
configured to be mandatory (the default), requisite (will disappear
during migration if they cannot be found), or completely optional.
While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.
The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).
While current on_{poweroff,reboot,crash} action configuration is about
configuring life cycle actions, they can all be considered events and
actions that need to be done on a particular event. Let's generalize the
code by renaming life cycle actions to event actions so that it can be
reused later for non-lifecycle events.
With the recent introduction of QMP capabilities probing, libvirt failed
to detect support for QXL graphics in QEMU 1.2 and newer. In addition to
fixing that, this patch also causes libvirt to detect QXL support for
qemu-kvm-0.13.0, which doesn't advertise it in -help output but mentions
it in device list. Since qemu-kvm-0.13.0 supported -spice, it looks like
not having qxl in -help was a bug.
Since libvirt switched to QMP capabilities probing recently, it starts
QEMU process used for this probing with -daemonize, which means
virCommandAbort can no longer reach these processes. As a result of
that, restarting libvirtd will leave several new QEMU processes behind.
Let's use QEMU's -pidfile and use it to kill the process when QMP caps
probing is done.
