snapshot: avoid accidental renames with snapshot-edit
I was a bit surprised that 'virsh snapshot-edit dom name' silently
allowed me to clone things, while still telling me the old name,
especially since other commands like 'virsh edit dom' reject rename
attempts (*). This fixes things to be more explicit (**).
(*) Technically, 'virsh edit dom' relies on virDomainDefineXML
behavior, which rejects attempts to mix a new name with existing
uuid or new uuid with existing name, but you can create a new
domain by changing both uuid and name. On the other hand, while
snapshot-edit --clone is a true clone, creating a new domain
would also have to decide whether to clone snapshot metadata,
managed save, and any other secondary data related to the domain.
Domain renames are not trivial either.
(**) Renaming or creating a clone is still a risky proposition -
for offline snapshots and system checkpoints, if the new name
does not match an actual name recorded in the qcow2 internal
snapshots, then you cannot revert to the new checkpoint. But it
is assumed that anyone using the new virsh flags knows what they
are doing, and can deal with the fallout caused by a rename/clone;
that is, we can't completely prevent a user from shooting
themselves in the foot, so much as we are making the default
action less risky.

storage: Do not use comma as seperator for lvs output

qemu: add separate rerror_policy for disk errors

set to match werror.
Additionally, the parsing of error_policy was changed to no longer

Background: Although virtportprofile data from a network portgroup is
only applicable for direct mode interfaces, the code that copies
bandwidth data from the portgroup was also only being executed in the
case of direct mode interfaces. The result was that interfaces using
traditional virtual networks (forward mode='nat|route|none'), and
those using a host bridge for forwarding, would not pick up bandwidth
data from a portgroup defined in the network.
This patch moves that code outside the conditional, so that bandwidth
information is *alway* copied from the appropriate portgroup (unless
the <interface> definition itself already has bandwidth information,
which would take precedence over what's in the portgroup anyway).

qemu: make PCI multifunction support more manual
When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see
This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:
In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.
With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.
A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).

docs: document virsh nodedev-* commands
This section of the man page was completely missing; I stumbled on
it when I had no clue that I had to use nodedev-reattach after
I was done playing with <hostdev> device passthrough to one of my
guests.
* tools/virsh.pod (NODEDEV COMMANDS): New section.
(attach-device, detach-device): Add cross-references.
The problem was that, while new code in libvirt looks for a single
bidirectional fifo of the name given in the config, then relabels that
and continues without looking for / relabelling the two unidirectional
fifos named ${name}.in and ${name}.out, qemu looks in the opposite
order. So if the user had naively created all three fifos, libvirt
would relabel the bidirectional fifo to allow qemu access, but qemu
would attempt to use the two unidirectional fifos and fail (because it
didn't have proper permissions/rights).
This patch changes the order that libvirt looks for the fifos to match
what qemu does - first it looks for the dual fifos, then it looks for
the single bidirectional fifo. If it finds the dual unidirectional
fifos first, it labels/chowns them and ignores any possible
bidirectional fifo.
(Note commit d37c6a3a (which first appeared in libvirt-0.9.2) added
the code that checked for a bidirectional fifo. Prior to that commit,
bidirectional fifos for serial devices didn't work because libvirt
always required the ${name}.(in|out) fifos to exist, and qemu would
always prefer those.
If a domain started with -no-shutdown shuts down while libvirtd is not
running, it will be seen as paused when libvirtd reconnects to it. Use
the paused reason to detect if a domain was stopped because of shutdown
and finish the process just as if a SHUTDOWN event is delivered from
qemu.
The AppArmor security driver adds only the path specified in the domain
XML for character devices of type 'pipe'. It should be using <path>.in
and <path>.out. We do this by creating a new vah_add_file_chardev() and
use it for char devices instead of vah_add_file(). Also adjust
valid_path() to accept S_FIFO (since qemu chardevs of type 'pipe' use
fifos). This is https://launchpad.net/bugs/832507

virsh: Allow using complete <capabilities> elements with cpu-baseline
This patch cleans the cpu baseline function using new libvirt helper
functions and fixes XPath expression that selects <cpu> elements from
the source file, that can contain concatenated <capabilities> XMLs,
domain XMLs and bare <cpu> elements. The fixed XPath expression ensures
not to select NUMA <cpu id=... elements.
This patch also removes vshRealloc function, that remained unused after
cleaning up cpu-baseline.
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.

spec: F15 still uses cgconfig, RHEL lacks hyperv

qemu: Relax -no-shutdown check to [0.14.0, 0.15.50)
SIGTERM handling for -no-shutdown is already fixed in qemu git and
libvirt can safely use it. The downside is that 0.15.50 version of qemu
can be any qemu compiled from git, even that without the fix for
SIGTERM. However, I think this patch is worth it since excluding 0.15.50
from the check makes testing current qemu with libvirt much easier and
someone running qemu from git should be able to rebuild fixed qemu from
git if they hit the problem with a hang on shutdown.
virsh: Enhance documentation of commands starting jobs
Some virsh commands start a (long-running) job that can be monitored

this in virsh man page.

storage: Do not break the whole vol lookup process in the middle
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: As virStorageVolLookupByPath lookups

it can cause the API fails even if the vol exists indeed. It won't get

commit 984840a2c292402926ad100aeea33f8859ff31a9 removed the
notification of waiting calls when VIR_NET_CONTINUE messages
arrive. This was to fix the case of a virStreamAbort() call
being prematurely notified of completion.
The problem is that sometimes there are dummy calls from a
virStreamRecv() call waiting that *do* need to be notified.
These dummy calls should have a status VIR_NET_CONTINUE. So
re-add the notification upon VIR_NET_CONTINUE, but only if
the waiter also has a status of VIR_NET_CONTINUE.
