qemu: hotplug: Fix mlock limit handling on memory hotplug
If mlock is required either due to use of VFIO hostdevs or due to the
fact that it's enabled it needs to be tweaked prior to adding new memory
or after removing a module. Add a helper to determine when it's
necessary and reuse it both on hotplug and hotunplug.
tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

however, when converted from causing an error to VIR_DEBUG's the

This commit removed error reporting from virNetDevSendEthtoolIoctl

balks at that.
Commit id 'fdda3760' only managed a symptom where it was possible to
create a file in a pool without libvirt's knowledge, so it was reverted.
The real fix is to have all the createVol API's which actually create
a volume (disk, logical, zfs) and the buildVol API's which handle the
real creation of some volume file (fs, rbd, sheepdog) manage deleting
any volume which they create when there is some sort of error in
processing the volume.
This way the onus isn't left up to the storage_driver to determine whether
the buildVol failure was due to some failure as a result of adjustments
made to the volume after creation such as getting sizes, changing ownership,
changing volume protections, etc. or simple a failure in creation.
Without needing to consider that the volume has to be removed, the
buildVol failure path only needs to remove the volume from the pool.
This way if a creation failed due to duplicate name, libvirt wouldn't
remove a volume that it didn't create in the pool target.
This commit only manages a symptom of finding a buildRet failure
where a volume was not listed in the pool, but someone created the
volume outside of libvirt in the pool being managed by libvirt.

There has been a report on the list [1] that we are not

directory path is constructed at compile time. However, it's
dependent on the wireshark version, e.g.
/usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.12.6
This is rather unfortunate, because if libvirt RPMs were built
with one version, but installed on a system with newer one, the
plugins are not really loaded. This problem lead fedora packagers
to unify plugin path to:
/usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/
Cool! But this was enabled just in wireshark-1.12.6-4. Therefore,
we must require at least that version.
And while at it, on some distributions, the wireshark.pc file

network: wait for DAD to finish for bridge IPv6 addresses

This patch waits for DAD completion by periodically polling the kernel
using netlink to check whether there are any IPv6 addresses assigned
to bridge which have a 'tentative' state (if there are any in this
state, then DAD hasn't yet finished). After DAD is finished, execution
continues. To avoid an endless hang in case something was wrong with
the kernel's DAD, we wait a maximum of 5 seconds.

Close the source fd if the destination qemu exits during tunnelled migration
Tunnelled migration can hang if the destination qemu exits despite all the
ABI checks. This happens whenever the destination qemu exits before the
complete transfer is noticed by source qemu. The savevm state checks at
runtime can fail at destination and cause qemu to error out.
The source qemu cant notice it as the EPIPE is not propogated to it.
The qemuMigrationIOFunc() notices the stream being broken from virStreamSend()
and it cleans up the stream alone. The qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion() would
never get to 100% transfer completion.
The qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion() never breaks out as well since
the ssh connection to destination is healthy, and the source qemu also thinks
the migration is ongoing as the Fd to which it transfers, is never
closed or broken. So, the migration will hang forever. Even Ctrl-C on the
virsh migrate wouldn't be honoured. Close the source side FD when there is
an error in the stream. That way, the source qemu updates itself and
qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion() notices the failure.
Close the FD for all kinds of errors to be sure. The error message is not
copied for EPIPE so that the destination error is copied instead later.

The existing algorithm assumed that someone was making small, incremental
changes; however, it is possible to change iothreads from 0 (or relatively
small number) to some really large number and the algorithm would possibly
spin its wheels doing unnecessary searches.
So, optimize the algorithm using a bitmap to find available iothread_id's
starting at 1 that aren't already defined by a "<thread id='#'>" and
filling in the iothreadids array with those iothread_id values.
When qemuDomainPinIOThread was added in commit id 'fb562614', a check
for the IOThread capability was not needed since a check for iothreadpids
covered the condition where the support for IOThreads was not present.
The iothreadpids array was only created if qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs
was able to query the monitor for IOThreads. It would only do that if
the QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD capability was set.
However, when iothreadids were added in commit id '8d4614a5' and the
check for iothreadpids was replaced by a search through the iothreadids[]
array for the matching iothread_id that left open the possibility that
an iothreadids[] array was defined, but the entries essentially pointed
to elements with only the 'iothread_id' defined leaving the 'thread_id'
value of 0 and eventually the cpumap entry of NULL.
This was because, the original IOThreads commit id '72edaae7' only
checked if IOThreads were defined and if the emulator had the IOThreads
capability, then IOThread objects were added at startup. The "capability
failure" check was only done when a disk was assigned to an IOThread in
qemuCheckIOThreads. This was because the initial implementation had no way
to dynamically add IOThreads, but it was possible to dynamically add a
disk to the domain. So the decision was if the domain supported it, then
add the IOThread objects. Then if a disk with an IOThread defined was
added, it could check the capability and fail to add if not there. This
just meant the 'iothreads' value was essentially ignored.
Eventually commit id 'a27ed6e7' allowed for the dynamic addition and
deletion of IOThread objects. So it was no longer necessary to generate
IOThread objects to dynamically attach a disk to. However, the startup
and disk check code was not modified to reflect this.
This patch will move the capability failure check to when IOThread
objects are being added to the command line. Thus a domain that has
IOThreads defined will not be started if the emulator doesn't support
the capability. This means when qemuCheckIOThreads is called to add
a disk, it's no longer necessary to check the capability. Instead the
code can use the IOThreadFind call to indicate that the IOThread
doesn't exist.
Finally because it could be possible to have a domain running with the
iothreadids[] defined prior to this change if libvirtd is restarted each
having mostly empty elements, qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs will check
if there are niothreadids when the QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD capability
check fails and remove the elements and array if it exists.
With these changes in place, it turns out the cputune-numatune test
was failing because the right bit wasn't set in the test. So used the
opportunity to fix that and create a test that would expect to fail
with some sort of iothreads defined and used, but not having the
correct capability.

too well in the plain text version either.
Luckily, except for the very first releases, the information is
still very detailed, so it's enough to organize it properly.

NEWS: Split old entries (2008)
The changes for releases earlier than 0.7.1 were mostly lumped
together as opposed to being tidly organized with one change per
line, like we have done from that point onwards.

NEWS: Include description for release 0.7.3
The description for this release, unlike all other descriptions,
was inside a <p> element; however, the XSLT stylesheet contains a
template that drops all <p> elements from the output file, so it
never made it to the generated NEWS file.
Use a <li> element, same as all other releases, instead.

storage: On error rmdir created directory in virDirCreate[NoFork]
After a successful creation of a directory, if some other call results
in returning a failure, let's remove the directory we created to
prevent another round trip or confusion in the caller. In particular, this
function can be called during a storage backend buildVol, so in order
to ensure that caller doesn't need to distinguish between failed create
or some other failure after create, just remove the directory we created.

Track when the logical volume was successfully created in order to
properly handle the call to virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol. It's
possible that the failure to create was because someone created an
LV in the pool outside of libvirt's knowledge. In this case, we don't
want to delete that LV. A subsequent or future refresh of the pool
will find the volume and cause an earlier failure

storage: Fix a resource leak in storageVolCreateXML
Commit id '1b5685da' refactored the code to move buildvoldef inside
the buildVol conditional; however, the VIR_FREE of the memory was
left only when 'buildret' failed, thus we're leaking memory.
