This started as an investigation into an issue where libvirt (using the
libxl driver) and the Xen host, like an old couple, could not agree on
who is responsible for selecting the VNC port to use.
Things usually (and a bit surprisingly) did work because, just like that
old couple, they had the same idea on what to do by default. However it
was possible that this ended up in a big argument.
The problem is that display information exists in two different places:
in the vfbs list and in the build info. And for launching the device model,
only the latter is used. But that never gets initialized from libvirt. So
Xen allows the device model to select a default port while libvirt thinks
it has told Xen that this is done by libvirt (though the vfbs config).
While fixing that, I made a stab at actually evaluating the configuration
of the video device. So that it is now possible to at least decide between
a Cirrus or standard VGA emulation and to modify the VRAM within certain
limits using libvirt.

This patch introduces a function to detect whether the specified
emulator is QEMU_XEN or QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL. Detection is based on the
string "Options specific to the Xen version:" in '$qemu -help' output.
AFAIK, the only qemu containing that string in help output is the
old Xen fork (aka qemu-dm).
Note:
QEMU_XEN means a qemu that contains support for Xen.
QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL means Xen's old forked qemu 0.10.2

Allow the Xen drivers to determine default vram values. Sane
default vaules depend on the device model being used, so the
drivers are in the best position to determine the defaults.
For the legacy xen driver, it is best to maintain the existing
logic for setting default vram values to ensure there are no
regressions. The libxl driver currently does not support
configuring a video device. Support will be added in a
subsequent patch, where the benefit of this change will be
reaped.

The code for relabelling the TAP FD is there due to a race. When
libvirt creates a /dev/tapN device it's labeled as
'system_u:object_r:device_t:s0' by default. Later, when
udev/systemd reacts to this device, it's relabelled to the
expected label 'system_u:object_r:tun_tap_device_t:s0'. Hence, we
have a code that relabels the device, to cut the race down. For
more info see ae368ebfcc.
But the problem is, the relabel function is called on all TUN/TAP
devices. Yes, on /dev/net/tun too. This is however a special kind
of device - other processes uses it too. We shouldn't touch it's
label then.
Ideally, there would an API in SELinux that would label just the
passed FD and not the underlying path. That way, we wouldn't need
to care as we would be not labeling /dev/net/tun but the FD
passed to the domain. Unfortunately, there's no such API so we
have to workaround until then.

This implementation uses the https://esx-server/screen?id=<id> way to get
a screenshot of a running domain. Compared to the CreateScreenshot_Task
way this works since ESX 2.5 while CreateScreenshot_Task was added in
version 4.0.
The newly added libcurl stream driver is used to directly provide the
downloaded data without saving it to a temporary file first.
This allows to implement libvirt functions that use streams, such as
virDoaminScreenshot, without the need to store the downloaded data in
a temporary file first. The stream driver directly interacts with
libcurl to send and receive data.
The driver uses the libcurl multi interface that allows to do a transfer
in multiple curl_multi_perform() calls. The easy interface would do the
whole transfer in a single curl_easy_perform() call. This doesn't work
with the libvirt stream API that is driven by multiple calls to the
virStreamSend() and virStreamRecv() functions.
The curl_multi_wait() function is used to do blocking operations. But it
was added in libcurl 7.28.0. For older versions it is emulated using the
socket callback of the multi interface.
The current driver only supports blocking operations. There is already
some code in place for non-blocking mode but it is not complete.
This patch fills in the functionality of
processNicRxFilterChangedEvent(). It now checks if it is appropriate
to respond to the NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event (based on device type
and configuration) and takes appropriate action. Currently it checks
if the guest interface has been configured with
trustGuestRxFilters='yes', and if the host side device is macvtap. If
so, and the MAC address on the guest has changed, the MAC address of
the macvtap device is changed to match.
The result of this is that networking from the guest will continue to
work if the mac address of a macvtap-connected network device is
changed from within the guest, as long as trustGuestRxFilters='yes'
(previously changing the MAC address in the guest would break
networking).
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED is sent by qemu any time a NIC driver in the
guest modified the NIC's RX Filter (for example, if the MAC address of
the NIC is changed by the guest).
This patch doesn't do anything useful with that event; it just sets up
all the plumbing to get news of the event into a worker thread with
all proper locking/reference counting, and provide an easy place to
add in desired functionality.
See src/qemu/EVENTHANDLERS.txt for information/instructions on adding
a libvirt-internal handler for a qemu event (using
NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED as an example).
This text was in the commit log for the patch that added the event
handler for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED, and John Ferlan expressed a desire
that the information not be "lost", so I've put it into a file in the
qemu directory, hoping that it might catch the attention of future
writers of handlers for qemu events.
This function can be called at any time to get the current status of a
guest's network device rx-filter. In particular it is useful to call
after libvirt recieves a NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event - this event only
tells you that something has changed in the rx-filter, the details are
retrieved with the query-rx-filter monitor command (only available in
the json monitor). The command sent to the qemu monitor looks like this:
{"execute":"query-rx-filter", "arguments": {"name":"net2"} }'
and the results will look something like this:
{
"return": [
{
"promiscuous": false,
"name": "net2",
"main-mac": "52:54:00:98:2d:e3",
"unicast": "normal",
"vlan": "normal",
"vlan-table": [
42,
0
],
"unicast-table": [
],
"multicast": "normal",
"multicast-overflow": false,
"unicast-overflow": false,
"multicast-table": [
"33:33:ff:98:2d:e3",
"01:80:c2:00:00:21",
"01:00:5e:00:00:fb",
"33:33:ff:98:2d:e2",
"01:00:5e:00:00:01",
"33:33:00:00:00:01"
],
"broadcast-allowed": false
}
],
"id": "libvirt-14"
}
This is all parsed from JSON into a virNetDevRxFilter object for
easier consumption. (unicast-table is usually empty, but is also an
array of mac addresses similar to multicast-table).
(NB: LIBNL_CFLAGS was added to tests/Makefile.am because virnetdev.h
now includes util/virnetlink.h, which includes netlink/msg.h when
appropriate. Without LIBNL_CFLAGS, gcc can't find that file (if
libnl/netlink isn't available, LIBNL_CFLAGS will be empty and
virnetlink.h won't try to include netlink/msg.h anyway).)
This same structure will be used to retrieve RX filter info for
interfaces on the host via netlink messages, and RX filter info for
interfaces on the guest via the qemu "query-rx-filter" command.
As is done with other items such as vlan, virtualport, and bandwidth,
set the actual trustGuestRxFilters value to be used by a domain
interface according to a merge of the same attribute in the interface,
portgroup, and network in use. the interface setting always takes
precedence (if specified), followed by portgroup, and finally the
setting in the network is used if it's not specified in the interface
or portgroup.
This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable
places of existing test files.
Prior patch removed the need for the virConnectPtr in the unplug
detach host path which caused ripple effect to remove in multiple
callers. The previous patch just left things as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED -
this patch will remove the variable.

Introduced by commit id '8f76ad99' the logic to detach a scsi_host
device (SCSI or iSCSI) fails when attempting to remove the 'drive'
because as I found in my investigation - the DelDevice takes care of
that for us.
The investigation turned up commits to adjust the logic for the
qemuMonitorDelDevice and qemuMonitorDriveDel processing for interfaces
(commit id '81f76598'), disk bus=VIRTIO,SCSI,USB (commit id '0635785b'),
and chr devices (commit id '55b21f9b'), but nothing with the host devices.
This commit uses the model for the previous set of changes and applies
it to the hostdev path. The call to qemuDomainDetachHostSCSIDevice will
return to qemuDomainDetachThisHostDevice handling either the audit of
the failure or the wait for the removal and then call into
qemuDomainRemoveHostDevice for the event, removal from the domain hostdev
list, and audit of the removal similar to other paths.
NOTE: For now the 'conn' param to +qemuDomainDetachHostSCSIDevice is left
as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED. Removing requires a cascade of other changes to be
left for a future patch.
Since commit 8eb55d782a2b9afacc7938694891cc6fad7b42a5 libxml2 removes
two slashes from the URI when there is no server part. This is fixed
with beb7281055dbf0ed4d041022a67c6c5cfd126f25, but only if the calling
application calls xmlSaveUri() on URI that xmlURIParse() parsed. And
that is not the case in virURIFormat(). virURIFormat() accepts
virURIPtr that can be created without parsing it and we do that when we
format network storage paths for gluster for example. Even though
virStorageSourceParseBackingURI() uses virURIParse(), it throws that data
structure right away.
Since we want to format URIs as URIs and not absolute URIs or opaque
URIs (see RFC 3986), we can specify that with a special hack thanks to
commit beb7281055dbf0ed4d041022a67c6c5cfd126f25, by setting port to -1.
This fixes qemuxml2argvtest test where the disk-drive-network-gluster

using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to

In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
- For shmem device using a server:
<shmem name='shmem0'>
<server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
<msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
</shmem>
- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:
<shmem name='shmem1'>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
</shmem>
Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:
<shmem name='shmem1/>
<shmem name='shmem2'>
<server/>
</shmem>

Aeons ago (commit 34dcbbb4, v0.8.2), we added a new libvirt event
(VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR_REASON) in order to tell the user WHY
the guest halted. This is because at least VDSM wants to react
differently to ENOSPC events (resize the lvm partition to be larger,
and resume the guest as if nothing had happened) from all other events
(I/O is hosed, throw up our hands and flag things as broken). At the
time this was done, downstream RHEL qemu added a vendor extension
'__com.redhat_reason', which would be exactly one of these strings:
"enospc", "eperm", "eio", and "eother". In our stupidity, we exposed
those exact strings to clients, rather than an enum, and we also
return "" if we did not have access to a reason (which was the case
for upstream qemu).
Fast forward to now: upstream qemu commit c7c2ff0c (will be qemu 2.2)
FINALLY adds a 'nospace' boolean, after discussion with multiple
projects determined that VDSM really doesn't care about distinction
between any other error types. So this patch converts 'nospace' into
the string "enospc" for compatibility with RHEL clients that were
already used to the downstream extension, while leaving the reason
blank for all other cases (no change from the status quo).

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
