Currently, if we want to feed stdin, or catch stdout or stderr of a
virCommand we have to use virCommandRun(). When using virCommandRunAsync()
we have to register FD handles by hand. This may lead to code duplication.
Hence, introduce an internal API, which does this automatically within
virCommandRunAsync(). The intended usage looks like this:
virCommandPtr cmd = virCommandNew*(...);
char *buf = NULL;
...
virCommandSetOutputBuffer(cmd, &buf);
virCommandDoAsyncIO(cmd);
if (virCommandRunAsync(cmd, NULL) < 0)
goto cleanup;
...
if (virCommandWait(cmd, NULL) < 0)
goto cleanup;
/* @buf now contains @cmd's stdout */
VIR_DEBUG("STDOUT: %s", NULLSTR(buf));
...
cleanup:
VIR_FREE(buf);
virCommandFree(cmd);
Note, that both stdout and stderr buffers may change until virCommandWait()
returns.
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.
QEMU is fully capable of handling VDI images and we just refuse to
work with them. As qemu-img knows and supports this, there should be
no problem with this addition.
This is of course, just basic functionality, without searching for any
backing files, etc.
Some files have the magic shifted to some offset other than 0, so we
have to support that. I also cleaned up some lines to be more
readable and added missing magic for iso file format.
This patch switches string option retrieval to vshCommandOptStringReq
and refactors some error paths to avoid an unlikely memory leak of a
secret object in cmdSecretSetValue.
also avoids potential NULL pointer dereference:
$ virsh snapshot-current asdf ""
error: invalid snapshotname argument '(null)'
by removing the error message in favor of vshCommandOptStringReq
This patch adds some empty lines to separate blocks of code, cleans up
unnecessary error message constructs in cmdNodeDeviceDetach,
cmdNodeDeviceReAttach, cmdNodeDeviceReset and refactors error paths in
cmdNodeDeviceDumpXML.
This patch adds a helper function with similar semantics to
vshCommandOptString that requests a string argument, but does some error
reporting without the need to do it in the functions themselves.
The error reporting also provides information about the parameter whose
retrieval failed.
Commit 4445e16bfa changed the signature
of esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter by replacing the esxPrivate
pointer with virConnectPtr. The esxPrivate pointer was then retrieved
again from virConnectPtr's privateData. This resulted in a NULL pointer
dereference, because the privateData pointer was not yet initialized at
the point where esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter are called.
This was fixed in commit b126715a48 that
moved the initialization of privateData before the problematic calls.
Simplify the logic by making the call to esxFreePrivate unconditional and
changing esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter back to take a esxPrivate
pointer directly. This allows to assign esxPrivate to the virConnectPtr's
privateData pointer as one of the last steps in esxOpen making it more
obvious that it is not initialized during the earlier steps of esxOpen.
Commit 6094ad7b (0.9.3 release) promoted several functions from
internal to public, but forgot to fix the documentation generator
to provide details about those functions.
For an example of what this fixes, look at:
file:///path/to/libvirt/docs/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virEventAddHandle
before and after the patch.
* docs/apibuild.py (ignored_functions): Don't ignore functions
that were turned into official API.
* src/util/virevent.c: Fix comments to pass through parser.
CVE-2013-0242 in glibc's regex() can cause a DoS in any daemon
that runs a regex search on user input while in a multibyte locale.
I'm not sure how hard it would be to trigger such a setup for
libvirtd, but rather than risk things, we can avoid the issue:
gnulib has worked around the problem, and by updating to the latest
gnulib, we can avoid the bug even on platforms where glibc has yet
to be patched.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for various fixes, including regex.
* bootstrap: Resync from upstream.
In commit 3ac26e2645 parameter "path" was
renamed to "disk" but this change was not reflected in the documentation.
Additionally, documentation of the "opaque" parameter was missing.
Add support for QEMU -add-fd command line parameter detection.
This intentionally rejects qemu 1.2, where 'add-fd' QMP did
not allow full control of set ids, and where there was no command
line counterpart, but accepts qemu 1.3.

Add entry points for calling the qemu 'add-fd' and 'remove-fd'
monitor commands. There is no entry point for 'query-fdsets';
the assumption is that a developer can use
virsh qemu-monitor-command domain '{"execute":"query-fdsets"}'
when debugging issues, and that meanwhile, libvirt is responsible
enough to remember what fds it associated with what fdsets.
Likewise, on the 'add-fd' command, it is assumed that libvirt
will always pass a set id, rather than letting qemu autogenerate
the next available id number.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorAddFd, qemuMonitorRemoveFd):
New functions.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (qemuMonitorAddFd, qemuMonitorRemoveFd):
New prototypes.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONAddFd)
(qemuMonitorJSONRemoveFd): New functions.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h (qemuMonitorJSONAddFd)
(qemuMonitorJSONRemoveFd): New prototypes.
While testing QMP, I used a simple qemu session of
'qemu-kvm -M none -nodefaults -nographic -qmp stdio'
for some experiments. But it took me far too long to remember
the magic invocation to unlock QMP into accepting normal commands.
While I was able to grep libvirt sources and easily find where
libvirt expects the normal "QMP" greeting, I could not find the
proper reply to that greeting nearby.
Reading the testsuite didn't help either, since there we don't
emulate the mandatory handshake. But since my grep hit the
testsuite, adding a bit of documentation will make it much easier
to jog my memory in the future.
* tests/qemumonitortestutils.c (QEMU_JSON_GREETING): Mention that
the normal counterpart reply is skipped.
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.
Without these two string changes in generator.py, the
virGetLastError wrapper does not get created in
/usr/share/pyshared/libvirt.py. Noticed when running
tests with virt-install.

When an exception happened inside the try clause in serialize_function,
a new exception was raised in the except clause subsequently:

Way back when I started making changes for Coverity messages my first set
were to a bunch of CHECKED_RETURN errors. In particular virAsprintf() had
a few callers that Coverity noted didn't check their return (although some
did check if the buffer being printed to was NULL or not).
It was suggested at the time as a further patch an ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
should be added to virAsprintf(), see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-January/msg00120.html
This patch does that and fixes a few more instances not found by Coverity
that failed the check.
When a disk-only snapshot is requested the domain is treated as if it
was offline. This forbids to mix memory checkpoints with the DISK_ONLY
flag.
This patch improves the error message and mentions the restriction in
the virsh man page.
When doing checks with automake, there are '<testname>.trs' files left
behind, that might or might not be usable, however these show up in
'git status' even though we definitely don't want them to be tracked
in the repository'. Automake adds the '--trs-files' option by default
since commit 0c81b43f711fb861f04227ced8dba889596d9c43 [1], which
consequently (from 1.13 in my case) started leaving these files behind
along with '<testname>.log' files as well (which we already ignore).

Commit 60b176c3d0 introduced a bug that
when editing an XML with cputune similar to this:
...
<vcpu placement='static' current='1'>2</vcpu>
<cputune>
<vcpupin vcpu="1" cpuset="0"/>
</cputune>
...
results in formatted XML that looks like this:
...
<vcpu placement='static' current='1'>2</vcpu>
<cputune>
</cputune>
...
That is caused by a condition depending on def->cputune.vcpupin being
set rather than checking def->cputune.nvcpupin. Notice that nvcpupin
can be 0 and vcpupin can still be allocated since it's a pointer to an
array, so no harm done there.
I also changed it on other places in the code where it depended on the
wrong variable.
