This patch adds VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE flag for migration APIs and new
VIR_ERR_MIGRATION_UNSAFE error code. The error code should be returned
whenever migrating a domain is considered unsafe (e.g., it's configured
in a way that does not ensure data integrity once it is migrated).
VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE flag may be used to force migration even though it
would normally be considered unsafe and forbidden.
Unlike .cvsignore under CVS, git allows for ignoring nested
names. We weren't very consistent where new tests were
being ignored (some in .gitignore, some in tests/.gitignore),
and I found it easier to just consolidate everything.

When libvirt's virDomainDestroy API is shutting down the qemu process,
it first sends SIGTERM, then waits for 1.6 seconds and, if it sees the
process still there, sends a SIGKILL.
There have been reports that this behavior can lead to data loss
because the guest running in qemu doesn't have time to flush its disk
cache buffers before it's unceremoniously whacked.
This patch maintains that default behavior, but provides a new flag
VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL to alter the behavior. If this flag is set
in the call to virDomainDestroyFlags, SIGKILL will never be sent to
the qemu process; instead, if the timeout is reached and the qemu
process still exists, virDomainDestroy will return an error.
Once this patch is in, the recommended method for applications to call
virDomainDestroyFlags will be with VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL
included. If that fails, then the application can decide if and when
to call virDomainDestroyFlags again without
VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL (to force the issue with SIGKILL).
(Note that this does not address the issue of existing applications
that have not yet been modified to use VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL.
That is a separate patch.)
Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase. That is, given:
base <- intermediate <- current
virDomainBlockPull will produce:
current
but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:
base <- current
Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags. But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:
Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.
Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.

This patch adds API to modify domain metadata for running and stopped

We already provide ways to detect when a domain has been paused as a
result of I/O error, but there was no way of getting the exact error or
even the device that experienced it. This new API may be used for both.
Our existing virDomainBlockResize takes an unsigned long long
argument; if that command is later taught a DELTA and SHRINK flag,
we cannot change its type without breaking API (but at least such
a change would be ABI compatible). Meanwhile, the only time a
negative size makes sense is if both DELTA and SHRINK are used
together, but if we keep the argument unsigned, applications can
pass the positive delta amount by which they would like to shrink
the system, and have the flags imply the negative value. So,
since this API has not yet been released, and in the interest of
consistency with existing API, we swap virStorageVolResize to
always pass an unsigned value.

argument.

with virNodeSuspendForDuration.
However, for now we don't support any duration other than zero.

And hook it up for policykit auth. This allows virt-manager to detect
that the user clicked the policykit 'cancel' button and not throw
an 'authentication failed' error message at the user.
Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.
Add a new API virDomainShutdownFlags and define:
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_DEFAULT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Also define some flags for the reboot API
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_DEFAULT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Although these two APIs currently have the same flags, using
separate enums allows them to expand separately in the future.
Add stub impls of the new API for all existing drivers
Although this is a public API break, it only affects users that
were compiling against *_LAST values, and can be trivially
worked around without impacting compilation against older
headers, by the user defining VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS before using
libvirt.h. It is not an ABI break, since enum values do not
appear as .so entry points. Meanwhile, it prevents users from
using non-stable enum values without explicitly acknowledging
the risk of doing so.

When disk snapshots were first implemented, libvirt blindly refused
to allow an external snapshot destination that already exists, since
qemu will blindly overwrite the contents of that file during the
snapshot_blkdev monitor command, and we don't like a default of
data loss by default. But VDSM has a scenario where NFS permissions
are intentionally set so that the destination file can only be
created by the management machine, and not the machine where the
guest is running, so that libvirt will necessarily see the destination
file already existing; adding a flag will allow VDSM to force the file
reuse without libvirt complaining of possible data loss.

A generic error code was returned, if the user aborted a migration job.
This made it hard to distinguish between a user requested abort and an
error that might have occured. This patch introduces a new error code,
which is returned in the specific case of a user abort, while leaving
all other failures with their existing code. This makes it easier to
distinguish between failure while mirgrating and an user requested
abort.

When QEMU guest finishes its shutdown sequence, qemu stops virtual CPUs
and when started with -no-shutdown waits for us to kill it using
SGITERM. Since QEMU is flushing its internal buffers, some time may pass
before QEMU actually dies. We mistakenly used "paused" state (and
events) for this which is quite confusing since users may see a domain
going to pause while they expect it to shutdown. Since we already have
"shutdown" state with "the domain is being shut down" semantics, we
should use it for this state.
However, the state didn't have a corresponding event so I created one
and called its detail as VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_FINISHED (guest OS
finished its shutdown sequence) with the intent to add
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_STARTED in the future if we have a
sufficiently capable guest agent that can notify us when guest OS starts
to shutdown.
This patch adds binding for virNodeGetMemoryStats method of libvirtd.

This adds per-device weights to <blkiotune>. Note that the

The new API is named as "virDomainBlockResize", intending to add
support for qemu monitor command "block_resize" (both HMP and QMP).
Similar with APIs like "virDomainSetMemoryFlags", the units for
argument "size" is kilobytes.
This API can be used to check if the socket associated with
virConnectPtr is still open or it was closed (probably because keepalive
protocol timed out). If there the connection is local (i.e., no socket
is associated with the connection, it is trivially always alive.
virConnectSetKeepAlive public API can be used by a client connecting to
remote server to start using keepalive protocol. The API is handled
directly by remote driver and not transmitted over the wire to the
server.
Given that we can now handle the target's disk shorthand, in addition
to an absolute path to the file or block device used on the host,
the term 'disk' fits a bit better as the parameter name than 'path'.

This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
This allows strings to be transported between client and server
in the context of name-type-value virTypedParameter functions.
For compatibility,
o new clients will not send strings to old servers, based on
a feature check
o new servers will not send strings to old clients without the
flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY; this will be enforced at
the RPC layer in the next patch, so that drivers need not
worry about it in general. The one exception is that
virDomainGetSchedulerParameters lacks a flags argument, so
it must not return a string; drivers that forward that
function on to virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags will
have to pay attention to the flag.
o the flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY is set automatically,
based on a feature check (so far, no driver implements it),
so clients do not have to worry about it
Future patches can then enable the feature on a per-driver basis.
This patch also ensures that drivers can blindly strdup() field
names (previously, a malicious client could stuff 80 non-NUL bytes
into field and cause a read overrun).

If a disk source gets dropped because it is not accessible,
mgmt application might want to be informed about this. Therefore
we need to emit an event. The event presented in this patch
is however a bit superset of what written above. The reason is simple:
an intention to be easily expanded, e.g. on 'user ejected disk
in guest' events. Therefore, callback gets source string and disk alias
(which should be unique among a domain) and reason (an integer);

Although reverting to a snapshot is a form of data loss, this is

surprises (failure to run the reverted state, or a break in

someone can get into an unrecoverable state due to a default revert.

Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).
These functions access internals of the opaque object, and do
not need any rpc counterpart. It could be argued that we should

Since a snapshot is fully recoverable, it is useful to have a
snapshot as a means of hibernating a guest, then reverting to
the snapshot to wake the guest up. This mode of usage is
similar to 'virsh save/virsh restore', except that virsh
save uses an external file while virsh snapshot keeps the
vm state internal to a qcow2 file. However, it only works on
persistent domains.
In the usage pattern of snapshot/revert for hibernating a guest,
there is no need to keep the guest running between the two points
in time, especially since that would generate runtime state that
would just be discarded. Add a flag to make it possible to
stop the domain after the snapshot has completed.

Reverting to a state prior to an external snapshot risks
corrupting any other branches in the snapshot hierarchy that
were using the snapshot as a read-only backing file. So
disk snapshot code will default to preventing reverting to
a snapshot that has any children, meaning that deleting just
the children of a snapshot becomes a useful operation in
preparing that snapshot for being a future reversion target.
The code for the new flag is simple - it's one less deletion,
plus a tweak to keep the current snapshot correct.

Just as leaving managed save metadata behind can cause problems
when creating a new domain that happens to collide with the name
of the just-deleted domain, the same is true of leaving any
snapshot metadata behind. For safety sake, extend the semantic
change of commit b26a9fa9 to also cover snapshot metadata as a
reason to reject undefining an inactive domain. A future patch
will make sure that shutdown of a transient domain automatically
deletes snapshot metadata (whether by destroy, shutdown, or
guest-initiated action). Management apps of transient domains
should take care to capture xml of snapshots, if it is necessary
to recreate the snapshot metadata on a later transient domain
with the same name and uuid.
This also documents a new flag that hypervisors can choose to
support as a shortcut for taking care of the metadata as part of
the undefine process; however, nontrivial driver support for these
flags will be deferred to future patches.
Note that ESX and VBox can never be transient; therefore, they
do not have to worry about automatic cleanup after shutdown
(the persistent domain still remains); likewise they never
store snapshot metadata, so the undefine flag is trivial.
The nontrivial work remaining is thus in the qemu driver.

The first two flags are essential for being able to replicate
snapshot hierarchies across multiple hosts, which will come in
handy for supervised migrations. It also allows a management app
to take a snapshot of a transient domain, save the metadata, stop
the domain, recreate a new transient domain by the same name,
redefine the snapshot, then revert to it.
This is not quite as convenient as leaving the metadata behind
after a domain is no longer around, but doing that has a few
problems: 1. the libvirt API can only delete snapshot metadata
if there is a valid domain handle to use to get to that snapshot
object - if stale data is left behind without a domain, there is
no way to request that the data be cleaned up. 2. creating a new
domain with the same name but different uuid than the older
domain where a snapshot existed cannot use the older snapshot
data; this risks confusing libvirt, and forbidding the stale
data is similar to the recent patch to forbid stale managed save.
The first two flags might be useful on hypervisors with no metadata,
but only for modifying the notion of the current snapshot;
however, I don't know how to do that for ESX or VBox.
The third flag is a convenience option, to combine a creation with
a delete metadata into one step. It is trivial for hypervisors
with no metadata.
The qemu changes will be involved enough to warrant a separate patch.

* docs/formatsnapshot.html.in: Document re-creation.
To make it easier to know when undefine will fail because of existing
snapshot metadata, we need to know how many snapshots have metadata.
Also, it is handy to filter the list of snapshots to just those that
have no parents; document that flag now, but implement it in later patches.

A future patch will make it impossible to remove a domain if it
would leave behind any libvirt-tracked metadata about snapshots,
since stale metadata interferes with a new domain by the same name.
But requiring snaphot contents to be deleted before removing a
domain is harsh; with qemu, qemu-img can still make use of the
contents after the libvirt domain is gone. Therefore, we need
an option to get rid of libvirt tracking information, but not
the actual contents. For hypervisors that do not track any
metadata in libvirt, the implementation is trivial; all remaining
hypervisors (really, just qemu) will be dealt with separately.

(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY): New flag.

* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxDomainSnapshotDelete): Likewise.
While it is nice that snapshots and saved images remember whether
the domain was running or paused, sometimes the restoration phase
wants to guarantee a particular state (paused to allow hot-plugging,
or running without needing to call resume). This introduces new
flags to allow the control, and a later patch will implement the
flags for qemu.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING)

(virDomainRevertToSnapshot): Document their use, and enforce

There are two classes of management apps that track events - one
that only cares about on/off (and only needs to track EVENT_STARTED
and EVENT_STOPPED), and one that cares about paused/running (also
tracks EVENT_SUSPENDED/EVENT_RESUMED). To keep both classes happy,
any transition that can go from inactive to paused must emit two
back-to-back events - one for started and one for suspended (since
later resuming of the domain will only send RESUMED, but the first
class isn't tracking that).
This also fixes a bug where virDomainCreateWithFlags with the
VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED flag failed to start paused when restoring
from a managed save image.

This patch adds the ability to make the filesystem for a filesystem
pool during a pool build.
The patch adds two new flags, no overwrite and overwrite, to control
when mkfs gets executed. By default, the patch preserves the
current behavior, i.e., if no flags are specified, pool build on a
filesystem pool only makes the directory on which the filesystem
will be mounted.
If the no overwrite flag is specified, the target device is checked
to determine if a filesystem of the type specified in the pool is
present. If a filesystem of that type is already present, mkfs is
not executed and the build call returns an error. Otherwise, mkfs
is executed and any data present on the device is overwritten.
If the overwrite flag is specified, mkfs is always executed, and any
existing data on the target device is overwritten unconditionally.
There have been several instances of people having problems with
a broken managed save file, and not aware that they could use
'virsh managedsave-remove dom' to fix things. Making it possible
to do this as part of starting a domain makes the same functionality
easier to find, and one less API call.

The QEMU 'sendkey' command expects keys to be encoded in the same
way as the RFB extended keycode set. Specifically it wants extended
keys to have the high bit of the first byte set, while the Linux

with this we introduce a new keymap 'RFB' and use that in the QEMU
driver

This also introduces new protection to migration v3 process: the
migration job is held from Begin to Confirm to avoid changes to a domain
during migration (esp. between Begin and Perform phases). This change is
automatically applied to p2p and tunneled migrations. For normal
migration, this requires support from a client. In other words, if an
old (pre 0.9.4) client starts normal migration of a domain, the domain
will not be protected against changes between Begin and Perform steps.

Modifying the xml on either save or restore only gets you so
far - you have to remember to 'virsh dumpxml dom' just prior
to the 'virsh save' in order to have an xml file worth modifying
that won't be rejected due to abi breaks. To make this more
powerful, we need a way to grab the xml embedded within a state
file, and from there, it's not much harder to also support
modifying a state file in-place.

VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG implies that an argument cannot possibly
be correct, given the current state of the API.
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED implies that a configuration is
wrong, but arguments aren't configuration.
VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT implies that a function is completely
unimplemented.
But in the case of a function that is partially implemented,
yet the full power of the API is not available for that
driver, none of the above messages make sense. Hence a new
error message, implying that the argument is known to comply
with the current state of the API, and that while the driver
supports aspects of the function, it does not support that
particular use of the argument.
A good use case for this is a driver that supports
virDomainSaveFlags, but not the dxml argument of that API.
It might be feasible to also use this new error for all functions
that check flags, and which accept fewer flags than what is possible
in the public API. But doing so would get complicated, since
neither libvirt.c nor the remote driver may do flag filtering,
and every other driver would have to do a two-part check, first
using virCheckFlags on all public flags (which gives
VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG for an impossible flag), followed by a
particular mask check for VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED (for a
possible public flag but unsupported by this driver).
* include/libvirt/virterror.h (VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED): New
error.
* src/util/virterror.c (virErrorMsg): Give it a message.

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.
In order to choose whether to use O_DIRECT when saving a domain image
to a file, we need a new flag. But virDomainSave was implemented
before our policy of all new APIs having a flag argument. Likewise
for virDomainRestore when restoring from a file.
The new flag name is chosen as CACHE_BYPASS so as not to preclude
a future solution that uses posix_fadvise once the Linux kernel has
a smarter implementation of that interface.

This introduces a new API virDomainUndefineFlags to control the
domain undefine process, as the existing API virDomainUndefine
doesn't support flags.
Currently only flag VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_MANAGED_SAVE is supported.
If the domain has a managed save image, including
VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_MANAGED_SAVE in @flags will also remove that
file, and omitting the flag will cause undefine process to fail.
This patch also changes the behavior of virDomainUndefine, if the
domain has a managed save image, the undefine will be refused.
This patch extends virDomainSetVcpusFlags API to support
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT flag.
Now because most APIs accept VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT flags,
virDomainSetVcpusFlags API should also do.

Introduce a new API in libvirt-qemu.so
virDomainPtr virDomainQemuAttach(virConnectPtr domain,
unsigned long long pid,
unsigned int flags);
This allows libvirtd to attach to an existing, externally
launched QEMU process. This is useful for QEMU developers who
prefer to launch QEMU themselves for debugging/devel reasons,
but still want the benefit of libvirt based tools like
virt-top, virt-viewer, etc
* include/libvirt/libvirt-qemu.h: Define virDomainQemuAttach
* src/driver.h, src/libvirt-qemu.c, src/libvirt_qemu.syms:

Most APIs use 'unsigned int flags'; but a few stragglers were using
a signed value. In particular, the vir*GetXMLDesc APIs were
split-brain, with inconsistent choice of types. Although it is
an API break to use 'int' instead of 'unsigned int', it is ABI
compatible (pre-compiled apps will have no difference in behavior),
and generally apps can be recompiled without any issue (only rare
apps that compiled with extremely high warning levels, or which
pass libvirt API around as typed function pointers, would have to
make any code changes to deal with the change).
The migrate APIs use 'unsigned long flags', which can't be changed,
due to ABI constraints.
This patch intentionally touches only the public API, to prove the
claim that most existing code (including driver callbacks and virsh)
still compiles just fine in spite of the type change.

Suggested by Matthias Bolte.
This patch introduces a new libvirt API (virDomainGetVcpupinInfo),
as a counterpart to virDomainPinVcpuFlags.
We can use virDomainGetVcpus API to retrieve CPU affinity information,
but can't use this API against inactive domains (at least in case of KVM),
as it lacks a flags parameter.
The usual thing is to add a new virDomainGetVcpusFlags, but that API name
is already occupied by the counterpart to virDomainGetMaxVcpus, which
has a completely different signature.
The virDomainGetVcpupinInfo is the new API to retrieve CPU affinity
information of active and inactive domains. While the usual convention
is to list an array before its length, this API violates that rule
in order to be more like virDomainGetVcpus (where maxinfo was doing
double-duty as the length of two different arrays).

If an application is using libvirt + KVM as a piece of its
internal infrastructure to perform a specific task, it can
be desirable to guarentee the VM dies when the virConnectPtr
disconnects from libvirtd. This ensures the app can't leak
any VMs it was using. Adding VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL as
a flag when starting guests enables this to be done.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: All VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support automatic killing of guests

Since we virEventRegisterDefaultImpl is now a public API, callers need

Qemu once supported following memory stats which will returned by

But it later disabled all the stats except "actual" by commit
07b0403dfc2b2ac179ae5b48105096cc2d03375a.
libvirt doesn't parse "actual", so user will always see a empty result
with "virsh dommemstat $domain". Even qemu haven't disabled the stats,
we should support parsing "actual".

This introduces a new domain
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_CONTROL_ERROR
Which uses the existing generic callback
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
void *opaque);
This event is intended to be emitted when there is a failure in
some part of the domain virtualization system. Whether the domain
continues to run/exist after the failure is an implementation
detail specific to the hypervisor.
The idea is that with some types of failure, hypervisors may
prefer to leave the domain running in a "degraded" mode of
operation. For example, if something goes wrong with the QEMU
monitor, it is possible to leave the guest OS running quite
happily. The mgmt app will simply loose the ability todo various
tasks. The mgmt app can then choose how/when to deal with the
failure that occured.

Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.
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.
The new flags allow to pick current state, config or the live
parameter, with current being the existing API default (0).
This also hooks this to --config, --live, --current parameters for
the memtune virsh command
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: defines the new flags
* tools/virsh.c: adds support at virsh level

There are two pieces of information which are desirable for
migration, which cannot be supplied by applications
- The explicit QEMU migration URI, while using Peer2Peer
migration
- An override for the target VM XML
This introduces two new public APIs to support these extra
parameters. There is no need for extra wire protocool changes,
since this is supported by the v3 migration enhancements
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in,
src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms: Add virDomainMigrate2
and virDomainMigrateToURI2
The new type is identical to the three old types that it replaces,
and by creating a common type, this allows future patches to share
common code that manipulates typed parameters.
This change is backwards-compatible in API (recompilation works
without any edits) and ABI (an older client that has not been
recompiled uses the same layout) for code using only public
names; only code using private names (those beginning with _)
will have to adapt.

The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.
Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.
The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.
Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

Add a new xen driver based on libxenlight [1], which is the primary
toolstack starting with Xen 4.1.0. The driver is stateful and runs
privileged only.
Like the existing xen-unified driver, the libxenlight driver is
accessed with xen:// URI. Driver selection is based on the status
of xend. If xend is running, the libxenlight driver will not load
and xen:// connections are handled by xen-unified. If xend is not
running *and* the libxenlight driver is available, xen://
connections are deferred to the libxenlight driver.
V6:
- Address several code style issues noted by Daniel Veillard
- Make drive work with xen:/// URI
- Hold domain object reference while domain is injected in
libvirt event loop. Race found and fixed by Markus Groß.
V5:
- Ensure events are unregistered when domain private data
is destroyed. Discovered and fixed by Markus Groß.
V4:

Not all applications have an existing event loop they need
to integrate with. Forcing them to implement the libvirt
event loop integration APIs is an undue burden. This just
exposes our simple poll() based implementation for apps
to use. So instead of calling
virEventRegister(....callbacks...)
The app would call
virEventRegisterDefaultImpl()
And then have a thread somewhere calling
static bool quit = false;

Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:
virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'
which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.
This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just
virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"
Also the result is converted from
{"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}
to just plain HMP:
kvm support: enabled
If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.

Fix glitch in commit cddd2a06 (thankfully post-0.8.6, so no
released version has the glitch).
Document and try to workaround glitch in commit 46e9b0f (in 0.8.0),
which invalidated 6 virErrorNumber values dating as far back as 0.7.1.
My audit did not find any other glitches until pre-0.1.0 days. I'm
not sure how to add a syntax-check off the top of my head, but
hopefully the explicit numbering will make people think twice about
renumbering in the future.
* include/libvirt/virterror.h (virErrorDomain): Avoid inserting
new values in the middle, and add explicit numbering to help avoid
this in the future.
(virErrorNumber): Add explicit numbering, and document the snafu.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteIO): Compensate for the snafu.
The nodeinfo structure includes
nodes : the number of NUMA cell, 1 for uniform mem access
sockets : number of CPU socket per node
cores : number of core per socket
threads : number of threads per core
which does not work well for NUMA topologies where each node does not
consist of integral number of CPU sockets.
We also have VIR_NODEINFO_MAXCPUS macro in public libvirt.h which
computes maximum number of CPUs as (nodes * sockets * cores * threads).
As a result, we can't just change sockets to report total number of
sockets instead of sockets per node. This would probably be the easiest
since I doubt anyone is using the field directly. But because of the
macro, some apps might be using sockets indirectly.
This patch leaves sockets to be the number of CPU sockets per node (and
fixes qemu driver to comply with this) on machines where sockets can be
divided by nodes. If we can't divide sockets by nodes, we behave as if
there was just one NUMA node containing all sockets. Apps interested in
NUMA should consult capabilities XML, which is what they probably do
anyway.
This way, the only case in which apps that care about NUMA may break is
on machines with funky NUMA topology. And there is a chance libvirt
wasn't able to start any guests on those machines anyway (although it
depends on the topology, total number of CPUs and kernel version).
Nothing changes at all for apps that don't care about NUMA.

To avoid the need for duplicating implementations of virStream
drivers, provide a generic implementation that can handle any
FD based stream. This code is copied from the existing impl

impl, and addition of a read callback

they would block on I/O

To enable virsh console (or equivalent) to be used remotely
it is necessary to provide remote access to the /dev/pts/XXX

patch thus introduces a virDomainOpenConsole API that uses

Support for live migration between hosts that do not share storage was
added to qemu-kvm release 0.12.1.
It supports two flags:
-b migration without shared storage with full disk copy
-i migration without shared storage with incremental copy (same base image
shared between source and destination).
I tested the live migration without shared storage (both flags) for native
and p2p with and without tunnelling. I also verified that the fix doesn't
affect normal migration with shared storage.
This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR_REASON
This event is the same as the previous VIR_DOMAIN_ID_IO_ERROR
event, but also includes a string describing the cause of
the event.
Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventIOErrorReasonCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
const char *srcPath,
const char *devAlias,
int action,
const char *reason,
void *opaque);

Some applications need to be able to query a guest's disk info,
even for paths not managed by the storage pool APIs. This adds
a very simple API to get this information, modelled on the
virStorageVolGetInfo API, but with an extra field 'physical'.
Normally 'physical' and 'allocation' will be identical, but
in the case of a qcow2-like file stored inside a block device
'physical' will give the block device size, while 'allocation'
will give the qcow2 image size
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define virDomainGetBlockInfo
virDomainManagedSave() is to be run on a running domain. Once the call
complete, as in virDomainSave() the domain is stopped upon completion,
but there is no restore counterpart as any order to start the domain
from the API would load the state from the managed file, similary if
the domain is autostarted when libvirtd starts.
Once a domain has restarted his managed save image is destroyed,
basically managed save image can only exist for a stopped domain,
for a running domain that would be by definition outdated data.

When a watchdog/IO error occurs, one of the possible actions that
QEMU might take is to pause the guest. In this scenario libvirt
needs to update its internal state for the VM, and emit a
lifecycle event:
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED
with a detail being one of:
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_IOERROR
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_WATCHDOG
To future proof against possible QEMU support for multiple monitor
consoles, this patch also hooks into the 'STOPPED' event in QEMU
and emits a generic VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_PAUSED event

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_GRAPHICS
The same event can be emitted in 3 scenarios
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_CONNECT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_INITIALIZE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_DISCONNECT,
} virDomainEventGraphicsPhase;
Connect/disconnect are triggered at socket accept/close.
The initialize phase is immediately after the protocol
setup and authentication has completed. ie when the
client is authorized and about to start interacting with
the graphical desktop
This event comes with *a lot* of potential information
- IP address, port & address family of client
- IP address, port & address family of server
- Authentication scheme (arbitrary string)
- Authenticated subject identity. A subject may have
multiple identities with some authentication schemes.
For example, vencrypt+sasl results in a x509dname
and saslUsername identities.
This results in a very complicated callback :-(
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV6,
} virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType;
struct _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress {
int family;
const char *node;
const char *service;
};
typedef struct _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress virDomainEventGraphicsAddress;
typedef virDomainEventGraphicsAddress *virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr;
struct _virDomainEventGraphicsSubject {
int nidentity;
struct {
const char *type;
const char *name;
} *identities;
};
typedef struct _virDomainEventGraphicsSubject virDomainEventGraphicsSubject;
typedef virDomainEventGraphicsSubject *virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectPtr;
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventGraphicsCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int phase,
virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr local,
virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr remote,
const char *authScheme,
virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectPtr subject,
void *opaque);
The wire protocol is similarly complex
struct remote_domain_event_graphics_address {
int family;
remote_nonnull_string node;
remote_nonnull_string service;
};
const REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_IDENTITY_MAX = 20;
struct remote_domain_event_graphics_identity {
remote_nonnull_string type;
remote_nonnull_string name;
};
struct remote_domain_event_graphics_msg {
remote_nonnull_domain dom;
int phase;
remote_domain_event_graphics_address local;
remote_domain_event_graphics_address remote;
remote_nonnull_string authScheme;
remote_domain_event_graphics_identity subject<REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_IDENTITY_MAX>;
};

protocol, but designed to be usable with SPICE graphics in
the future too.

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR
This event includes the action that is about to be taken
as a result of the watchdog triggering
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_NONE = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_PAUSE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_REPORT,
} virDomainEventIOErrorAction;
In addition it has the source path of the disk that had the
error and its unique device alias. It does not include the
target device name (/dev/sda), since this would preclude
triggering IO errors from other file backed devices (eg
serial ports connected to a file)
Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventIOErrorCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
const char *srcPath,
const char *devAlias,
int action,
void *opaque);
This is currently wired up to the QEMU block IO error events

Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventRTCChangeCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,

The reboot event is not a normal lifecycle event, since the
virtual machine on the host does not change state. Rather the
guest OS is resetting the virtual CPUs. ie, the QEMU process
does not restart. Thus, this does not belong in the current
lifecycle events callback.
This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_REBOOT
It takes no parameters, besides the virDomainPtr, so it can
use the generic callback signature.

The current API for domain events has a number of problems
- Only allows for domain lifecycle change events
- Does not allow the same callback to be registered multiple times
- Does not allow filtering of events to a specific domain
This introduces a new more general purpose domain events API
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE = 0, /* virConnectDomainEventCallback */
...more events later..
}
int virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom, /* Optional, to filter */
int eventID,
virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback cb,
void *opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb);
int virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny(virConnectPtr conn,
int callbackID);
Since different event types can received different data in the callback,
the API is defined with a generic callback. Specific events will each
have a custom signature for their callback. Thus when registering an
event it is neccessary to cast the callback to the generic signature
eg
int myDomainEventCallback(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int event,
int detail,
void *opaque)
{
...
}
virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(conn, NULL,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(myDomainEventCallback)
NULL, NULL);
The VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK() macro simply does a "bad" cast
to the generic signature

The new virDomainAbortJob() method provides a way for a second
thread to abort an ongoing job run by another thread. This
extends to any API with which the virDomainGetJobInfo() API
is intended to work. Cancellation is not guarenteed, rather best
effort on part of the hypervisor and not required to be implmented.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define virDomainAbortJob()
Introduce a new public API that provides a way to get progress
info on currently running jobs on a virDomainpPtr. APIs that
are initially within scope of this idea are
virDomainMigrate
virDomainMigrateToURI
virDomainSave
virDomainRestore
virDomainCoreDump
These all take a potentially long time and benefit from monitoring.
The virDomainJobInfo struct allows for various pieces of information
to be reported
- Percentage completion
- Time
- Overall data
- Guest memory data
- Guest disk/file data
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virDomainGetJobInfo
* python/generator.py, python/libvirt-override-api.xml,

Set up the types for the domainMemoryStats function and insert it into the
virDriver structure definition. Because of static initializers, update
every driver and set the new field to NULL.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h src/*/*_driver.c src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: add the new

This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump. And for Xen, you just pass the flag down to xend.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): Add VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --live. (cmdDump): Map it to VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
This patch adds the --crash option (already present in "xm dump-core")
to "virsh dump". virDomainCoreDump already has a flags argument, so
the API/ABI is untouched.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): New flag for
CoreDump
* src/test/test_driver.c (testDomainCoreDump): Do not crash
after dump unless VIR_DUMP_CRASH is given.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Shutdown the domain
instead of restarting it if --crash is passed.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support --crash.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --crash.
(cmdDump): Map it to flags for virDomainCoreDump and pass them.
This adds a new flag, VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED, that mandates pausing
the migrated VM before starting it.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainMigrateFlags): Add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Handle VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_migrate): Add --suspend. (cmdMigrate): Handle it.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Document it.
There is currently no way to determine the libvirt version of a remote
libvirtd we are connected to. This is a useful piece of data to enable
feature detection.
* src/xen/xen_driver.c: Add support for VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag
* src/xen/xend_internal.c: Add support for VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE flag
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/util/virterror.c: Add new errorcode
VIR_ERR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_FAILED
Introduce a number of new APIs to expose some boolean properties
of objects, which cannot otherwise reliably determined, nor are
aspects of the XML configuration.
* virDomainIsActive: Checking virDomainGetID is not reliable
since it is not possible to distinguish between error condition
and inactive domain for ID of -1.
* virDomainIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists
for the domain
* virNetworkIsActive: Check whether the network is active
* virNetworkIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists
for the network
* virStoragePoolIsActive: Check whether the storage pool is active
* virStoragePoolIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists
for the storage pool
* virInterfaceIsActive: Check whether the host interface is active
* virConnectIsSecure: whether the communication channel to the
hypervisor is secure
* virConnectIsEncrypted: whether any network based commnunication
channels are encrypted
NB, a channel can be secure, even if not encrypted, eg if it does
not involve the network, like a UNIX socket, or pipe.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define public API
* src/driver.h: Define internal driver API
* src/libvirt.c: Implement public API entry point

Some monitor commands may take a very long time to complete. It is
not desirable to block other incoming API calls forever. With this
change, if an existing API call is holding the job lock, additional
API calls will not wait forever. They will time out after a short
period of time, allowing application to retry later.
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/util/virterror.c: Add new
VIR_ERR_OPERATION_TIMEOUT error code
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Change to a timed condition variable
wait for acquiring the monitor job lock
* include/libvirt/virterror.h src/util/virterror.c: add a new error
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED for valid but unsupported configuration options
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Throw an error if guestfwd address isn't IPv4
and cleanup a number of parsing return error values.
This patch adds the flag VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE to
virInterfaceGetXMLDesc's flags. When it is*not* set (the default), the
live interface info will be returned in the XML (in particular, the IP
address(es) and netmask(s) will be retrieved by querying the interface
directly, rather than reporting what's in the config file). The
backend of this is in netcf's ncf_if_xml_state() function.
* configure.in libvirt.spec.in: requires netcf >= 0.1.3
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: adds flag VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE
* src/conf/interface_conf.c src/interface/netcf_driver.c src/libvirt.c:
update the parsing and backend routines accordingly
* tools/virsh.c: change interface edit to inactive definition and
adds the inactive flag for interface dump
