Contributing to libvirt
=======================
Full, up to date information on how to contribute to libvirt can be
found on the libvirt website:
https://libvirt.org/contribute.html
To build the same document locally, from the top level directory of
your git clone run:
::
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../autogen.sh
$ make
You'll find the freshly-built document in ``docs/contribute.html``.
If ``configure`` fails because of missing dependencies, you can set
up your system by calling
::
$ sudo dnf builddep libvirt
if you're on a RHEL-based distribution or
::
$ sudo apt-get build-dep libvirt
if you're on a Debian-based one.
Note that, for the RHEL-based case, if you're on a machine where you
haven't done any C development before, you will probably also need
to run
::
$ sudo dnf install gcc make libtool autoconf automake rpm-build
You might still be missing some dependencies if your distribution is
shipping an old libvirt version, but that will get you much closer to
where you need to be to build successfully from source.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
be combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such function or
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give the same user the materials
specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
https://libvirt.org
License
=======
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files ``COPYING.LESSER``
and ``COPYING`` for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
============
Instructions on building and installing libvirt can be found on the website:
https://libvirt.org/compiling.html
Contributing
============
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components
the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development
mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
https://libvirt.org/contribute.html
Contact
=======
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
* libvirt-users@redhat.com (**for user discussions**)
* libvir-list@redhat.com (**for development only**)
Further details on contacting the project are available on the website:

# This is a prologue that allows to run a perl script as an executable

# On such systems, the usual invocation of an executable through execlp()
# or execvp() fails with ENOEXEC if it is a script that does not start
# with a #! line. The script interpreter mentioned in the #! line has
# to be /bin/sh, because on GuixSD systems that is the only program that
# has a fixed file name. The second line is essential for perl and is
# also useful for editing this file in Emacs. The next two lines below
# are valid code in both sh and perl. When executed by sh, they re-execute
# the script through the perl program found in $PATH. The '-x' option
# is essential as well; without it, perl would re-execute the script
# through /bin/sh. When executed by perl, the next two lines are a no-op.

the semantics of the C code in FILE. Use --name=FOO --name=BAR to also
detect free-like functions named FOO and BAR.

# where 0 (root) is mapped to the current user and rest is
# offset.
#
# In order to set up this mapping, we need to keep all the
# user IDs to prevent possible errors as some images might
# expect UIDs up to 90000 (looking at you fedora), so we don't
# want the overflowuid to be used for them. For mapping all
# the other users properly, some math needs to be done.
# Don't worry, it's just addition and subtraction.
#
# 65536 ought to be enough (tm), but for really rare cases the
# maximums might need to be higher, but that only happens when
# your /etc/sub{u,g}id allow users to have more IDs. Unless
# --keep-uid is supported, let's do this in a way that should

<h1>Client access control</h1>
<p>
Libvirt's client access control framework allows administrators
to setup fine grained permission rules across client users,
managed objects and API operations. This allows client connections
to be locked down to a minimal set of privileges.
</p>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="intro">Access control introduction</a></h2>
<p>
In a default configuration, the libvirtd daemon has three levels
of access control. All connections start off in an unauthenticated
state, where the only API operations allowed are those required
to complete authentication. After successful authentication, a
connection either has full, unrestricted access to all libvirt
API calls, or is locked down to only "read only" operations,
according to what socket a client connection originated on.
</p>
<p>
The access control framework allows authenticated connections to
have fine grained permission rules to be defined by the administrator.
Every API call in libvirt has a set of permissions that will
be validated against the object being used. For example, the
<code>virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags</code> method will
check whether the client user has the <code>write</code>
permission on the <code>domain</code> object instance passed
in as a parameter. Further permissions will also be checked
if certain flags are set in the API call. In addition to
checks on the object passed in to an API call, some methods
will filter their results. For example the <code>virConnectListAllDomains</code>
method will check the <code>search_domains</code> on the <code>connect</code>
object, but will also filter the returned <code>domain</code>
objects to only those on which the client user has the
<code>getattr</code> permission.
</p>
<h2><a id="drivers">Access control drivers</a></h2>
<p>
The access control framework is designed as a pluggable
system to enable future integration with arbitrary access
control technologies. By default, the <code>none</code>
driver is used, which does no access control checks at
all. At this time, libvirt ships with support for using
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit/">polkit</a> as a real access
control driver. To learn how to use the polkit access
driver consult <a href="aclpolkit.html">the configuration
docs</a>.
</p>
<p>
The access driver is configured in the <code>libvirtd.conf</code>
configuration file, using the <code>access_drivers</code>
parameter. This parameter accepts an array of access control
driver names. If more than one access driver is requested,
then all must succeed in order for access to be granted.
To enable 'polkit' as the driver:
</p>
<pre>
# augtool -s set '/files/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf/access_drivers[1]' polkit
</pre>
<p>
And to reset back to the default (no-op) driver
</p>
<pre>
# augtool -s rm /files/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf/access_drivers
</pre>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> changes to libvirtd.conf require that
the libvirtd daemon be restarted.
</p>
<h2><a id="perms">Objects and permissions</a></h2>
<p>
Libvirt applies access control to all the main object
types in its API. Each object type, in turn, has a set
of permissions defined. To determine what permissions
are checked for specific API call, consult the
<a href="html/index.html">API reference manual</a>
documentation for the API in question.

<h1>Polkit access control</h1>
<p>
Libvirt's client <a href="acl.html">access control framework</a> allows
administrators to setup fine grained permission rules across client users,
managed objects and API operations. This allows client connections
to be locked down to a minimal set of privileges. The polkit driver
provides a simple implementation of the access control framework.
</p>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>
A default install of libvirt will typically use
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit/">polkit</a>
to authenticate the initial user connection to libvirtd. This is a
very coarse grained check though, either allowing full read-write
access to all APIs, or just read-only access. The polkit access
control driver in libvirt builds on this capability to allow for
fine grained control over the operations a user may perform on an
object.
</p>
<h2><a id="perms">Permission names</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt <a href="acl.html#perms">object names and permission names</a>
are mapped onto polkit action names using the simple pattern:
</p>
<pre>org.libvirt.api.$object.$permission
</pre>
<p>
The only caveat is that any underscore characters in the
object or permission names are converted to hyphens. So,
for example, the <code>search_storage_vols</code> permission
on the <code>storage_pool</code> object maps to the polkit
action:
</p>
<pre>org.libvirt.api.storage-pool.search-storage-vols
</pre>
<p>
The default policy for any permission which corresponds to
a "read only" operation, is to allow access. All other
permissions default to deny access.
</p>
<h2><a id="attrs">Object identity attributes</a></h2>
<p>
To allow polkit authorization rules to be written to match
against individual object instances, libvirt provides a number
of authorization detail attributes when performing a permission
check. The set of attributes varies according to the type
of object being checked

<h2><a id="connect_driver">Hypervisor Driver connect_driver</a></h2>

The <code>connect_driver</code> parameter describes the

name based on the <a href="uri.html">URI</a> used for the
connection.
</p>
<p>
<span class="since">Since 4.1.0</span>, when calling an API
outside the scope of the primary connection driver, the
primary driver will attempt to open a secondary connection
to the specific API driver in order to process the API. For
example, when hypervisor domain processing needs to make an
API call within the storage driver or the network filter driver
an attempt to open a connection to the "storage" or "nwfilter"
driver will be made. Similarly, a "storage" primary connection
may need to create a connection to the "secret" driver in order
to process secrets for the API. If successful, then calls to
those API's will occur in the <code>connect_driver</code> context
of the secondary connection driver rather than in the context of
the primary driver. This affects the <code>connect_driver</code>
returned from rule generation from the <code>action.loookup</code>
function. The following table provides a list of the various
connection drivers and the <code>connect_driver</code> name
used by each regardless of primary or secondary connection.
The access denied error message from libvirt will list the
connection driver by name that denied the access.

<h2><a id="user">User identity attributes</a></h2>
<p>
At this point in time, the only attribute provided by
libvirt to identify the user invoking the operation
is the PID of the client program. This means that the
polkit access control driver is only useful if connections
to libvirt are restricted to its UNIX domain socket. If
connections are being made to a TCP socket, no identifying
information is available and access will be denied.
Also note that if the client is connecting via an SSH
tunnel, it is the local SSH user that will be identified.
In future versions, it is expected that more information
about the client user will be provided, including the
SASL / Kerberos username and/or x509 distinguished
name obtained from the authentication provider in use.
</p>
<h2><a id="checks">Writing access control policies</a></h2>
<p>
If using versions of polkit prior to 0.106 then it is only
possible to validate (user, permission) pairs via the <code>.pkla</code>
files. Fully validation of the (user, permission, object) triple
requires the new JavaScript <code>.rules</code> support that
was introduced in version 0.106. The latter is what will be
described here.
</p>
<p>
Libvirt does not ship any rules files by default. It merely
provides a definition of the default behaviour for each
action (permission). As noted earlier, permissions which
correspond to read-only operations in libvirt will be allowed
to all users by default; everything else is denied by default.
Defining custom rules requires creation of a file in the
<code>/etc/polkit-1/rules.d</code> directory with a name
chosen by the administrator (<code>100-libvirt-acl.rules</code>
would be a reasonable choice). See the <code>polkit(8)</code>
manual page for a description of how to write these files
in general. The key idea is to create a file containing
something like
</p>
<pre>
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
....logic to check 'action' and 'subject'...
});
</pre>
<p>
In this code snippet above, the <code>action</code> object
instance will represent the libvirt permission being checked
along with identifying attributes for the object it is being
applied to. The <code>subject</code> meanwhile will identify
the libvirt client app (with the caveat above about it only
dealing with local clients connected via the UNIX socket).
On the <code>action</code> object, the permission name is
accessible via the <code>id</code> attribute, while the
object identifying attributes are exposed via the
<code>lookup</code> method.
</p>
<p>
See
<a href="https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=tree;f=examples/polkit;hb=HEAD">source code</a>
for a more complex example.
</p>
<h3><a id="exconnect">Example: restricting ability to connect to drivers</a></h3>
<p>
Consider a local user <code>berrange</code>
who has been granted permission to connect to libvirt in
full read-write mode. The goal is to only allow them to
use the <code>QEMU</code> driver and not the Xen or LXC
drivers which are also available in libvirtd.
To achieve this we need to write a rule which checks
whether the <code>connect_driver</code> attribute
is <code>QEMU</code>, and match on an action
name of <code>org.libvirt.api.connect.getattr</code>. Using
the javascript rules format, this ends up written as
</p>
<pre>
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.api.connect.getattr" &amp;&amp;
subject.user == "berrange") {
if (action.lookup("connect_driver") == 'QEMU') {
return polkit.Result.YES;
} else {
return polkit.Result.NO;
}
}
});
</pre>
<h3><a id="exdomain">Example: restricting access to a single domain</a></h3>
<p>
Consider a local user <code>berrange</code>
who has been granted permission to connect to libvirt in
full read-write mode. The goal is to only allow them to
see the domain called <code>demo</code> on the LXC driver.
To achieve this we need to write a rule which checks
whether the <code>connect_driver</code> attribute
is <code>LXC</code> and the <code>domain_name</code>
attribute is <code>demo</code>, and match on an action
name of <code>org.libvirt.api.domain.getattr</code>. Using
the javascript rules format, this ends up written as
</p>
<pre>
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.api.domain.getattr" &amp;&amp;
subject.user == "berrange") {
if (action.lookup("connect_driver") == 'LXC' &amp;&amp;
action.lookup("domain_name") == 'demo') {
return polkit.Result.YES;
} else {
return polkit.Result.NO;
}
}
});

=========================
Advanced test suite usage
=========================
The basic requirement before submitting changes to libvirt is that
::
$ make check
$ make syntax-check
succeed after each commit.
The libvirt test suite, however, support additional features: for
example, it's possible to look for memory leaks and similar issues
by running
::
$ make -C tests valgrind
`Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/>`__ is a test that checks for
memory management issues, such as leaks or use of uninitialized
variables.
Some tests are skipped by default in a development environment,
based on the time they take in comparison to the likelihood
that those tests will turn up problems during incremental
builds. These tests default to being run when building from a
tarball or with the configure option --enable-expensive-tests;
you can also force a one-time toggle of these tests by setting
VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE to 0 or 1 at make time, as in:
::
$ make check VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=1
If you encounter any failing tests, the VIR_TEST_DEBUG
environment variable may provide extra information to debug the
failures. Larger values of VIR_TEST_DEBUG may provide larger
amounts of information:
::
$ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 make check (or)
$ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=2 make check
When debugging failures during development, it is possible to
focus in on just the failing subtests by using VIR_TEST_RANGE.
I.e. to run all tests from 3 to 20 with the exception of tests
6 and 16, use:
::
$ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 VIR_TEST_RANGE=3-5,7-20,^16 ./run tests/qemuxml2argvtest
Also, individual tests can be run from inside the ``tests/``
directory, like:
::
$ ./qemuxml2xmltest
If you are adding new test cases, or making changes that alter
existing test output, you can use the environment variable
VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT to quickly update the saved test
data. Of course you still need to review the changes VERY
CAREFULLY to ensure they are correct.
::
$ VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
There is also a ``./run`` script at the top level, to make it
easier to run programs that have not yet been installed, as
well as to wrap invocations of various tests under gdb or
Valgrind.
When running our test suite it may happen that the test result
is nondeterministic because of the test suite relying on a
particular file in the system being accessible or having some
specific value. To catch this kind of errors, the test suite
has a module for that prints any path touched that fulfils
constraints described above into a file. To enable it just set
``VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS`` environment variable. Then
``VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS_OUTPUT`` environment variable can alter
location where the file is stored.
::
$ VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS=1 VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS_OUTPUT="/tmp/file_access.txt" ./qemuxml2argvtest
#. The Valgrind test should produce similar output to
``make check``. If the output has traces within libvirt API's,
then investigation is required in order to determine the cause
of the issue. Output such as the following indicates some sort
of leak:
::
==5414== 4 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3 of 89
==5414== at 0x4A0881C: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:270)
==5414== by 0x34DE0AAB85: xmlStrndup (in /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2.7.8)
==5414== by 0x4CC97A6: virDomainVideoDefParseXML (domain_conf.c:7410)
==5414== by 0x4CD581D: virDomainDefParseXML (domain_conf.c:10188)
==5414== by 0x4CD8C73: virDomainDefParseNode (domain_conf.c:10640)
==5414== by 0x4CD8DDB: virDomainDefParse (domain_conf.c:10590)
==5414== by 0x41CB1D: testCompareXMLToArgvHelper (qemuxml2argvtest.c:100)
==5414== by 0x41E20F: virtTestRun (testutils.c:161)
==5414== by 0x41C7CB: mymain (qemuxml2argvtest.c:866)
==5414== by 0x41E84A: virtTestMain (testutils.c:723)
==5414== by 0x34D9021734: (below main) (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.15.so)
In this example, the ``virDomainDefParseXML()`` had an error
path where the ``virDomainVideoDefPtr video`` pointer was not
properly disposed. By simply adding a
``virDomainVideoDefFree(video);`` in the error path, the issue
was resolved.
Another common mistake is calling a printing function, such as
``VIR_DEBUG()`` without initializing a variable to be printed.
The following example involved a call which could return an
error, but not set variables passed by reference to the call.
The solution was to initialize the variables prior to the call.
::
==4749== Use of uninitialised value of size 8
==4749== at 0x34D904650B: _itoa_word (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.15.so)

Valgrind will also find some false positives or code paths
which cannot be resolved by making changes to the libvirt code.
For these paths, it is possible to add a filter to avoid the
errors. For example:
::
==4643== 7 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 4 of 20
==4643== at 0x4A0881C: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:270)
==4643== by 0x34D90853F1: strdup (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.15.so)

==4643== by 0x34EEC15B81: ??? (in /usr/lib64/libnl.so.1.1)
==4643== by 0x34D8C0EE15: call_init.part.0 (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.15.so)
==4643== by 0x34D8C0EECF: _dl_init (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.15.so)
==4643== by 0x34D8C01569: ??? (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.15.so)
In this instance, it is acceptable to modify the
``tests/.valgrind.supp`` file in order to add a suppression
filter. The filter should be unique enough to not suppress real
leaks, but it should be generic enough to cover multiple code
paths. The format of the entry can be found in the
documentation found at the `Valgrind home
page <http://valgrind.org/>`__. The following trace was added
to ``tests/.valgrind.supp`` in order to suppress the warning:
::
{
dlInitMemoryLeak1
Memcheck:Leak
fun:?alloc
...
fun:call_init.part.0
fun:_dl_init
...
obj:*/lib*/ld-2.*so*

<h1>The libvirt API concepts</h1>
<p> This page describes the main principles and architecture choices
behind the definition of the libvirt API:</p>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="Objects">Objects Exposed</a></h2>
<p> As defined in the <a href="goals.html">goals section</a>, the libvirt
API is designed to expose all the resources needed to manage the
virtualization support of recent operating systems. The first object
manipulated through the API is the <code>virConnectPtr</code>, which
represents the connection to a hypervisor. Any application using libvirt
is likely to start using the
API by calling one of <a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectOpen"
>the virConnectOpen functions</a>. You will note that those functions take
a name argument which is actually a <a href="uri.html">connection URI</a>
to select the right hypervisor to open.
A URI is needed to allow remote connections and also select between
different possible hypervisors. For example, on a Linux system it may be
possible to use both KVM and LinuxContainers on the same node. A NULL
name will default to a preselected hypervisor, but it's probably not a
wise thing to do in most cases. See the <a href="uri.html">connection
URI</a> page for a full descriptions of the values allowed.</p>
<p> OnDevice the application obtains a
<a href="/html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectPtr">
<code>virConnectPtr</code>
</a>
connection to the hypervisor it can then use it to manage the hypervisor's
available domains and related virtualization
resources, such as storage and networking. All those are
exposed as first class objects and connected to the hypervisor connection
(and the node or cluster where it is available).</p>
<p class="image">
<img alt="first class objects exposed by the API"
src="libvirt-object-model.png"/>
</p>
<p> The figure above shows the five main objects exported by the API:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectPtr">
<code>virConnectPtr</code>
</a>
<p>Represents the connection to a hypervisor. Use one of the
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectOpen">virConnectOpen</a>
functions to obtain connection to the hypervisor which is then used
as a parameter to other connection API's.</p></li>
<li>
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainPtr">
<code>virDomainPtr</code>
</a>
<p>Represents one domain either active or defined (i.e. existing as
permanent config file and storage but not currently running on that
node). The function
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virConnectListAllDomains">
<code>virConnectListAllDomains</code>
</a>
lists all the domains for the hypervisor.</p></li>
<li>
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-network.html#virNetworkPtr">
<code>virNetworkPtr</code>
</a>
<p>Represents one network either active or defined (i.e. existing
as permanent config file and storage but not currently activated).
The function
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-network.html#virConnectListAllNetworks">
<code>virConnectListAllNetworks</code>
</a>
lists all the virtualization networks for the hypervisor.</p></li>
<li>
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-storage.html#virStorageVolPtr">
<code>virStorageVolPtr</code>
</a>
<p>Represents one storage volume generally used
as a block device available to one of the domains. The function
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-storage.html#virStorageVolLookupByPath">
<code>virStorageVolLookupByPath</code>
</a>
finds the storage volume object based on its path on the node.</p></li>
<li>
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-storage.html#virStoragePoolPtr">
<code>virStoragePoolPtr</code>
</a>
<p>Represents a storage pool, which is a logical area
used to allocate and store storage volumes. The function
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-storage.html#virConnectListAllStoragePools">
<code>virConnectListAllStoragePools</code>
</a>
lists all of the virtualization storage pools on the hypervisor.
The function
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-storage.html#virStoragePoolLookupByVolume">
<code>virStoragePoolLookupByVolume</code>
</a>
finds the storage pool containing a given storage volume.</p></li>
</ul>
<p> Most objects manipulated by the library can also be represented using
XML descriptions. This is used primarily to create those object, but is
also helpful to modify or save their description back.</p>
<p> Domains, networks, and storage pools can be either <code>active</code>
i.e. either running or available for immediate use, or
<code>defined</code> in which case they are inactive but there is
a permanent definition available in the system for them. Based on this
they can be activated dynamically in order to be used.</p>
<p> Most objects can also be named in various ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>name</code>
<p>A user friendly identifier but whose uniqueness
cannot be guaranteed between two nodes.</p></li>
<li><code>ID</code>
<p>A runtime unique identifier
provided by the hypervisor for one given activation of the object;
however, it becomes invalid once the resource is deactivated.</p></li >
<li><code>UUID</code>
<p> A 16 byte unique identifier
as defined in <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt">RFC 4122</a>,
which is guaranteed to be unique for long term usage and across a
set of nodes.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="Functions">Functions and Naming Conventions</a></h2>
<p> The naming of the functions present in the library is usually
composed by a prefix describing the object associated to the function
and a verb describing the action on that object.</p>
<p> For each first class object you will find APIs
for the following actions:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Lookup</b> [...LookupBy...]
<p>Used to perform lookups on objects by some type of identifier,
such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>

</li>
<li>
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainLookupByName">

</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Creation</b> [...Create, ...CreateXML]
<p>Used to create and start objects. The ...CreateXML APIs will create
the object based on an XML description, while the ...Create APIs will

</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: functions returning vir*Ptr (like the virDomainLookup functions)
allocate memory which needs to be freed by the caller by the corresponding
vir*Free function (e.g. virDomainFree for a virDomainPtr object).

<a href="storage.html">the storage management page</a>.
</p>
<h2><a id="Drivers">The libvirt Drivers</a></h2>
<p>Drivers are the basic building block for libvirt functionality
to support the capability to handle specific hypervisor driver calls.
Drivers are discovered and registered during connection processing as
part of the
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virInitialize">
<code>virInitialize</code>
</a>
API. Each driver
has a registration API which loads up the driver specific function
references for the libvirt APIs to call. The following is a simplistic
view of the hypervisor driver mechanism. Consider the stacked list of
drivers as a series of modules that can be plugged into the architecture
depending on how libvirt is configured to be built.</p>
<p class="image">
<img alt="The libvirt driver architecture"
src="libvirt-driver-arch.png"/>
</p>
<p>The driver architecture is also used to support other virtualization
components such as storage, storage pools, host device, networking,
network interfaces, and network filters.</p>
<p>See the <a href="drivers.html">libvirt drivers</a> page for more
information on hypervisor and storage specific drivers.</p>
<p>Not all drivers support every virtualization function possible.
The <a href="hvsupport.html">libvirt API support matrix</a> lists
the various functions and support found in each driver by the version
support was added into libvirt.
</p>
<h2><a id="Remote">Daemon and Remote Access</a></h2>
<p>Access to libvirt drivers is primarily handled by the libvirtd
daemon through the <a href="remote.html">remote</a> driver via an
<a href="internals/rpc.html">RPC</a>. Some hypervisors do support
client-side connections and responses, such as Test, OpenVZ, VMware,
VirtualBox (vbox), ESX, Hyper-V, Xen, and Virtuozzo.
The libvirtd daemon service is started on the host at system boot
time and can also be restarted at any time by a properly privileged
user, such as root. The libvirtd daemon uses the same libvirt API
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virInitialize">
<code>virInitialize</code>
</a>
sequence as applications
for client-side driver registrations, but then extends the registered
driver list to encompass all known drivers supported for all driver
types supported on the host. </p>
<p>The libvirt client <a href="apps.html">applications</a> use a
<a href="uri.html">URI</a> to obtain the <code>virConnectPtr</code>.
The <code>virConnectPtr</code> keeps track of the driver connection
plus a variety of other connections (network, interface, storage, etc.).
The <code>virConnectPtr</code> is then used as a parameter to other
virtualization <a href="#Functions">functions</a>. Depending upon the
driver being used, calls will be routed through the remote driver to
the libvirtd daemon. The daemon will reference the connection specific
driver in order to retrieve the requested information and then pass
back status and/or data through the connection back to the application.
The application can then decide what to do with that data, such as
display, write log data, etc. <a href="migration.html">Migration</a>
is an example of many facets of the architecture in use.</p>
<p class="image">
<img alt="The libvirt daemon and remote architecture"
src="libvirt-daemon-arch.png"/>
</p>
<p>
The key takeaway from the above diagram is that there is a remote driver
which handles transactions for a majority of the drivers. The libvirtd
daemon running on the host will receive transaction requests from the
remote driver and will then query the hypervisor driver as specified in
the <code>virConnectPtr</code> in order to fetch the data. The data will
then be returned through the remote driver to the client application
for processing.

<h1>Implementing a new API in Libvirt</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
This document walks you through the process of implementing a new
API in libvirt. Remember that new API consists of any new public
functions, as well as the addition of flags or extensions of XML used by
existing functions.
</p>
<p>
Before you begin coding, it is critical that you propose your
changes on the libvirt mailing list and get feedback on your ideas to
make sure what you're proposing fits with the general direction of the
project. Even before doing a proof of concept implementation, send an
email giving an overview of the functionality you think should be
added to libvirt. Someone may already be working on the feature you
want. Also, recognize that everything you write is likely to undergo
significant rework as you discuss it with the other developers, so
don't wait too long before getting feedback.
</p>
<p>
Adding a new API to libvirt is not difficult, but there are quite a
few steps. This document assumes that you are familiar with C
programming and have checked out the libvirt code from the source code
repository and successfully built the existing tree. Instructions on
how to check out and build the code can be found at:
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://libvirt.org/downloads.html">https://libvirt.org/downloads.html</a>
</p>
<p>
Once you have a working development environment, the steps to create a
new API are:
</p>
<ol>
<li>define the public API</li>
<li>define the internal driver API</li>
<li>implement the public API</li>
<li>implement the remote protocol:
<ol>
<li>define the wire protocol format</li>
<li>implement the RPC client</li>
<li>implement the server side dispatcher</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>use new API where appropriate in drivers</li>
<li>add virsh support</li>
<li>add common handling for new API</li>
<li>for each driver that can support the new API:
<ol>
<li>add prerequisite support</li>
<li>fully implement new API</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
It is, of course, possible to implement the pieces in any order, but
if the development tasks are completed in the order listed, the code
will compile after each step. Given the number of changes required,
verification after each step is highly recommended.
</p>
<p>
Submit new code in the form of one patch per step. That's not to say
submit patches before you have working functionality--get the whole thing
working and make sure you're happy with it. Then use git to break the
changes into pieces so you don't drop a big blob of code on the
mailing list in one go. Also, you should follow the upstream tree, and
rebase your series to adapt your patches to work with any other changes
that were accepted upstream during your development.
</p>
<p>
Don't mix anything else into the patches you submit. The patches
should be the minimal changes required to implement the functionality
you're adding. If you notice a bug in unrelated code (i.e., code you
don't have to touch to implement your API change) during development,
create a patch that just addresses that bug and submit it
separately.
</p>
<h2><a id='publicapi'>Defining the public API</a></h2>
<p>The first task is to define the public API. If the new API
involves an XML extension, you have to enhance the RelaxNG
schema and document the new elements or attributes:</p>
<p><code>
docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng<br/>
docs/formatdomain.html.in
</code></p>
<p>If the API extension involves a new function, you have to add a
declaration in the public header, and arrange to export the
function name (symbol) so other programs can link against the
libvirt library and call the new function:</p>
<p><code>
include/libvirt/libvirt-$MODULE.h.in
src/libvirt_public.syms
</code></p>
<p>
This task is in many ways the most important to get right, since once
the API has been committed to the repository, it's libvirt's policy
never to change it. Mistakes in the implementation are bugs that you
can fix. Make a mistake in the API definition and you're stuck with
it, so think carefully about the interface and don't be afraid to
rework it as you go through the process of implementing it.
</p>
<h2><a id='internalapi'>Defining the internal API</a></h2>
<p>
Each public API call is associated with a driver, such as a host
virtualization driver, a network virtualization driver, a storage
virtualization driver, a state driver, or a device monitor. Adding
the internal API is ordinarily a matter of adding a new member to the
struct representing one of these drivers.
</p>
<p>
Of course, it's possible that the new API will involve the creation of
an entirely new driver type, in which case the changes will include the
creation of a new struct type to represent the new driver type.
</p>
<p>The driver structs are defined in:</p>
<p><code>src/driver-$MODULE.h</code></p>
<p>
To define the internal API, first typedef the driver function
prototype and then add a new field for it to the relevant driver
struct. Then, update all existing instances of the driver to
provide a <code>NULL</code> stub for the new function.
</p>
<h2><a id='implpublic'>Implementing the public API</a></h2>
<p>
Implementing the public API is largely a formality in which we wire up
public API to the internal driver API. The public API implementation
takes care of some basic validity checks before passing control to the
driver implementation. In RFC 2119 vocabulary, this function:
</p>
<ol class="ordinarylist">
<li>SHOULD log a message with VIR_DEBUG() indicating that it is
being called and its parameters;</li>
<li>MUST call virResetLastError();</li>
<li>SHOULD confirm that the connection is valid with
virCheckConnectReturn() or virCheckConnectGoto();</li>
<li><strong>SECURITY: If the API requires a connection with write
privileges, MUST confirm that the connection flags do not
indicate that the connection is read-only with
virCheckReadOnlyGoto();</strong></li>
<li>SHOULD do basic validation of the parameters that are being
passed in, using helpers like virCheckNonNullArgGoto();</li>
<li>MUST confirm that the driver for this connection exists and that
it implements this function;</li>
<li>MUST call the internal API;</li>
<li>SHOULD log a message with VIR_DEBUG() indicating that it is
returning, its return value, and status.</li>
<li>MUST return status to the caller.</li>
</ol>
<p>The public API calls are implemented in:</p>
<p><code>src/libvirt-$MODULE.c</code></p>
<h2><a id='remoteproto'>Implementing the remote protocol</a></h2>
<p>
Implementing the remote protocol is essentially a
straightforward exercise which is probably most easily
understood by referring to the existing code.
</p>
<h3><a id='wireproto'>Defining the wire protocol format</a></h3>
<p>
Defining the wire protocol involves making additions to:
</p>
<p><code>src/remote/remote_protocol.x</code></p>
<p>
First, create two new structs for each new function that you're adding
to the API. One struct describes the parameters to be passed to the
remote function, and a second struct describes the value returned by
the remote function. The one exception to this rule is that functions
that return only 0 or -1 for status do not require a struct for returned
data.
</p>
<p>
Second, add values to the remote_procedure enum for each new function
added to the API.
</p>
<p>
Once these changes are in place, it's necessary to run 'make rpcgen'
in the src directory to create the .c and .h files required by the
remote protocol code. This must be done on a Linux host using the
GLibC rpcgen program. Other rpcgen versions may generate code which
results in bogus compile time warnings. This regenerates the
following files:
</p>
<p><code>
src/remote/remote_daemon_dispatch_stubs.h
src/remote/remote_daemon_dispatch.h
src/remote/remote_daemon_dispatch.c
src/remote/remote_protocol.c
src/remote/remote_protocol.h
</code></p>
<h3><a id='rpcclient'>Implement the RPC client</a></h3>
<p>
Implementing the RPC client uses the rpcgen generated .h files.
The remote method calls go in:
</p>
<p><code>src/remote/remote_driver.c</code></p>
<p>Each remote method invocation does the following:</p>
<ol class="ordinarylist">
<li>locks the remote driver;</li>
<li>sets up the method arguments;</li>
<li>invokes the remote function;</li>
<li>checks the return value, if necessary;</li>
<li>extracts any returned data;</li>
<li>frees any returned data;</li>
<li>unlocks the remote driver.</li>
</ol>
<h3><a id="serverdispatch">Implement the server side dispatcher</a></h3>
<p>
Implementing the server side of the remote function call is simply a
matter of deserializing the parameters passed in from the remote
caller and passing them to the corresponding internal API function.
The server side dispatchers are implemented in:
</p>
<p><code>src/remote/remote_daemon_dispatch.c</code></p>
<p>Again, this step uses the .h files generated by make rpcgen.</p>
<p>
After all three pieces of the remote protocol are complete, and
the generated files have been updated, it will be necessary to
update the file:</p>
<p><code>src/remote_protocol-structs</code></p>
<p>
This file should only have new lines added; modifications to
existing lines probably imply a backwards-incompatible API change.
</p>
<h2><a id="internaluseapi">Use the new API internally</a></h2>
<p>
Sometimes, a new API serves as a superset of existing API, by
adding more granularity in what can be managed. When this is
the case, it makes sense to share a common implementation by
making the older API become a trivial wrapper around the new
API, rather than duplicating the common code. This step should
not introduce any semantic differences for the old API, and is
not necessary if the new API has no relation to existing API.
</p>
<h2><a id="virshuseapi">Expose the new API in virsh</a></h2>
<p>
All new API should be manageable from the virsh command line
shell. This proves that the API is sufficient for the intended
purpose, and helps to identify whether the proposed API needs
slight changes for easier usage. However, remember that virsh
is used to connect to hosts running older versions of libvirtd,
so new commands should have fallbacks to an older API if
possible; implementing the virsh hooks at this point makes it
very easy to test these fallbacks. Also remember to document
virsh additions.
</p>
<p>
A virsh command is composed of a few pieces of code. You need to
define an array of vshCmdInfo structs for each new command that
contain the help text and the command description text. You also need
an array of vshCmdOptDef structs to describe the command options.
Once you have those pieces in place you can write the function
implementing the virsh command. Finally, you need to add the new
command to the commands[] array. The following files need changes:
</p>
<p><code>
tools/virsh-$MODULE.c<br/>
tools/virsh.pod
</code></p>
<h2><a id="driverimpl">Implement the driver methods</a></h2>
<p>
So, after all that, we get to the fun part. All functionality in
libvirt is implemented inside a driver. Thus, here is where you
implement whatever functionality you're adding to libvirt. You'll
either need to add additional files to the src directory or extend
files that are already there, depending on what functionality you're
adding.
</p>
<h3><a id="commonimpl">Implement common handling</a></h3>
<p>
If the new API is applicable to more than one driver, it may
make sense to provide some utility routines, or to factor some
of the work into the dispatcher, to avoid reimplementing the
same code in every driver. In the example code, this involved
adding a member to the virDomainDefPtr struct for mapping
between the XML API addition and the in-memory representation of
a domain, along with updating all clients to use the new member.
Up to this point, there have been no changes to existing
semantics, and the new APIs will fail unless they are used in
the same way as the older API wrappers.
</p>
<h3><a id="drivercode">Implement driver handling</a></h3>
<p>
The remaining patches should only touch one driver at a time.
It is possible to implement all changes for a driver in one
patch, but for review purposes it may still make sense to break
things into simpler steps. Here is where the new APIs finally
start working.
</p>
<p>
It is always a good idea to patch the test driver in addition to the
target driver, to prove that the API can be used for more than one
driver.
</p>
<p>
Any cleanups resulting from the changes should be added as separate
patches at the end of the series.
</p>
<p>
Once you have working functionality, run make check and make
syntax-check on each patch of the series before submitting
patches. It may also be worth writing tests for the libvirt-TCK
testsuite to exercise your new API, although those patches are
not kept in the libvirt repository.

<h1 >libvirt architecture</h1>
<p>
Currently libvirt supports 2 kind of virtualization, and its
internal structure is based on a driver model which simplifies
adding new
engines:
</p>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="Xen">Xen support</a></h2>
<p>When running in a Xen environment, programs using libvirt have to execute
in "Domain 0", which is the primary Linux OS loaded on the machine. That OS
kernel provides most if not all of the actual drivers used by the set of
domains. It also runs the Xen Store, a database of information shared by the
hypervisor, the backend drivers, any running domains, and libxl (aka libxenlight).
libxl provides a set of APIs for creating and managing domains, which can be used
by applications such as the xl tool provided by Xen or libvirt. The hypervisor,
drivers, kernels and daemons communicate though a shared system bus
implemented in the hypervisor. The figure below tries to provide a view of
this environment:</p>
<img src="architecture.gif" alt="The Xen architecture" />
<p>The library will interact with libxl for all management operations
on a Xen system.</p>
<p>Note that the libvirt libxl driver only supports root access.</p>
<h2><a id="QEMU">QEMU and KVM support</a></h2>
<p>The model for QEMU and KVM is completely similar, basically KVM is based
on QEMU for the process controlling a new domain, only small details differs
between the two. In both case the libvirt API is provided by a controlling
process forked by libvirt in the background and which launch and control the
QEMU or KVM process. That program called libvirt_qemud talks though a specific
protocol to the library, and connects to the console of the QEMU process in
order to control and report on its status. Libvirt tries to expose all the
emulations models of QEMU, the selection is done when creating the new
domain, by specifying the architecture and machine type targeted.</p>
<p>The code controlling the QEMU process is available in the
<code>qemud/</code> directory.</p>
<h2><a id="drivers">Driver based architecture</a></h2>
<p>As the previous section explains, libvirt can communicate using different
channels with the current hypervisor, and should also be able to use
different kind of hypervisor. To simplify the internal design, code, ease
maintenance and simplify the support of other virtualization engine the
internals have been structured as one core component, the libvirt.c module
acting as a front-end for the library API and a set of hypervisor drivers
defining a common set of routines. That way the Xen Daemon access, the Xen
Store one, the Hypervisor hypercall are all isolated in separate C modules
implementing at least a subset of the common operations defined by the
drivers present in driver.h:</p>
<ul>
<li>xend_internal: implements the driver functions though the Xen
Daemon</li>
<li>xs_internal: implements the subset of the driver available though the
Xen Store</li>
<li>xen_internal: provide the implementation of the functions possible via
direct hypervisor access</li>
<li>proxy_internal: provide read-only Xen access via a proxy, the proxy code
is in the <code>proxy/</code> directory.</li>
<li>xm_internal: provide support for Xen defined but not running
domains.</li>
<li>qemu_internal: implement the driver functions for QEMU and
KVM virtualization engines. It also uses a qemud/ specific daemon
which interacts with the QEMU process to implement libvirt API.</li>
<li>test: this is a test driver useful for regression tests of the
front-end part of libvirt.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that a given driver may only implement a subset of those functions,
(for example saving a Xen domain state to disk and restoring it is only
possible though the Xen Daemon), in that case the driver entry points for
unsupported functions are initialized to NULL.</p>

<h1>Audit log</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>
A number of the libvirt virtualization drivers (QEMU/KVM and LXC) include
support for logging details of important operations to the host's audit
subsystem. This provides administrators / auditors with a canonical historical
record of changes to virtual machines' / containers' lifecycle states and
their configuration. On hosts which are running the Linux audit daemon,
the logs will usually end up in <code>/var/log/audit/audit.log</code>
</p>
<h2><a id="config">Configuration</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt audit integration is enabled by default on any host which has
the Linux audit subsystem active, and disabled otherwise. It is possible
to alter this behaviour in the <code>/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf</code>
configuration file, via the <code>audit_level</code> parameter
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>audit_level=0</code> - libvirt auditing is disabled regardless
of host audit subsystem enablement.</li>
<li><code>audit_level=1</code> - libvirt auditing is enabled if the host
audit subsystem is enabled, otherwise it is disabled. This is the
default behaviour.</li>
<li><code>audit_level=2</code> - libvirt auditing is enabled regardless
of host audit subsystem enablement. If the host audit subsystem is
disabled, then libvirtd will refuse to complete startup and exit with
an error.</li>
</ul>
<p>
In addition to have formal messages sent to the audit subsystem it is
possible to tell libvirt to inject messages into its own logging
layer. This will result in messages ending up in the systemd journal
or <code>/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log</code> on non-systemd hosts.
This is disabled by default, but can be requested by setting the
<code>audit_logging=1</code> configuration parameter in the same file
mentioned above.
</p>
<h2><a id="types">Message types</a></h2>
<p>
Libvirt defines three core audit message types each of which will
be described below. There are a number of common fields that will
be reported for all message types.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>pid</code></dt>

<h1>Connection authentication</h1>
<p>
When connecting to libvirt, some connections may require client
authentication before allowing use of the APIs. The set of possible
authentication mechanisms is administrator controlled, independent
of applications using libvirt. Once authenticated, libvirt can apply
fine grained <a href="acl.html">access control</a> to the operations
performed by a client.
</p>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="Auth_client_config">Client configuration</a></h2>
<p>
When connecting to a remote hypervisor which requires authentication,
most libvirt applications will prompt the user for the credentials. It is
also possible to provide a client configuration file containing all the
authentication credentials, avoiding any interaction. Libvirt will look
for the authentication file using the following sequence:
</p>
<ol>
<li>The file path specified by the $LIBVIRT_AUTH_FILE environment
variable.</li>
<li>The file path specified by the "authfile=/some/file" URI
query parameter</li>
<li>The file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/auth.conf</li>
<li>The file /etc/libvirt/auth.conf</li>
</ol>
<p>
The auth configuration file uses the traditional <code>".ini"</code>
style syntax. There are two types of groups that can be present in
the config. First there are one or more <strong>credential</strong>
sets, which provide the actual authentication credentials. The keys
within the group may be:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>username</code>: the user login name to act as. This
is relevant for ESX, Xen, HyperV and SSH, but probably not
the one you want to libvirtd with SASL.</li>
<li><code>authname</code>: the name to authorize as. This is
what is commonly required for libvirtd with SASL.</li>
<li><code>password</code>: the secret password</li>
<li><code>realm</code>: the domain realm for SASL, mostly
unused</li>
</ul>
<p>
Each set of credentials has a name, which is part of the group
entry name. Overall the syntax is
</p>
<pre>
[credentials-$NAME]
credname1=value1
credname2=value2</pre>
<p>
For example, to define two sets of credentials used for production
and test machines, using libvirtd, and a further ESX server for dev:
</p>
<pre>
[credentials-test]
authname=fred
password=123456
[credentials-prod]
authname=bar
password=letmein
[credentials-dev]
username=joe
password=hello
[credentials-defgrp]
username=defuser
password=defpw</pre>
<p>
The second set of groups provide mappings of credentials to
specific machine services. The config file group names compromise
the service type and host:
</p>
<pre>
[auth-$SERVICE-$HOSTNAME]
credentials=$CREDENTIALS</pre>
<p>
For example, following the previous example, here is how to
map some machines. For convenience libvirt supports a default
mapping of credentials to machines:
</p>
<pre>
[auth-libvirt-test1.example.com]
credentials=test
[auth-libvirt-test2.example.com]
credentials=test
[auth-libvirt-demo3.example.com]
credentials=test
[auth-libvirt-prod1.example.com]
credentials=prod
[auth-libvirt-default]
credentials=defgrp
[auth-esx-dev1.example.com]
credentials=dev
[auth-esx-default]
credentials=defgrp</pre>
<p>
The following service types are known to libvirt
</p>
<ol>
<li><code>libvirt</code> - used for connections to a libvirtd
server, which is configured with SASL auth</li>
<li><code>ssh</code> - used for connections to a Phyp server
over SSH, but the Phyp driver has been removed</li>
<li><code>esx</code> - used for connections to an ESX or
VirtualCenter server</li>
</ol>
<p>
Applications using libvirt are free to use this same configuration
file for storing other credentials. For example, it can be used
to storage VNC or SPICE login credentials
</p>
<h2><a id="ACL_server_config">Server configuration</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt daemon allows the administrator to choose the authentication
mechanisms used for client connections on each network socket independently.
This is primarily controlled via the libvirt daemon master config file in
<code>/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf</code>. Each of the libvirt sockets can
have its authentication mechanism configured independently. There is
currently a choice of <code>none</code>, <code>polkit</code>, and <code>sasl</code>.
The SASL scheme can be further configured to choose between a large
number of different mechanisms.
</p>
<h2><a id="ACL_server_unix_perms">UNIX socket permissions/group</a></h2>
<p>
If libvirt does not contain support for PolicyKit, then access control for
the UNIX domain socket is done using traditional file user/group ownership
and permissions. There are 2 sockets, one for full read-write access, the
other for read-only access. The RW socket will be restricted (mode 0700) to
only allow the <code>root</code> user to connect. The read-only socket will
be open access (mode 0777) to allow any user to connect.
</p>
<p>
To allow non-root users greater access, the <code>libvirtd.conf</code> file
can be edited to change the permissions via the <code>unix_sock_rw_perms</code>,
config parameter and to set a user group via the <code>unix_sock_group</code>
parameter. For example, setting the former to mode <code>0770</code> and the
latter <code>wheel</code> would let any user in the wheel group connect to
the libvirt daemon.
</p>
<h2><a id="ACL_server_polkit">UNIX socket PolicyKit auth</a></h2>
<p>
If libvirt contains support for PolicyKit, then access control options are
more advanced. The <code>auth_unix_rw</code> parameter will default to
<code>polkit</code>, and the file permissions will default to <code>0777</code>
even on the RW socket. Upon connecting to the socket, the client application
will be required to identify itself with PolicyKit. The default policy for the
RW daemon socket will require any application running in the current desktop
session to authenticate using the user's password. This is akin to <code>sudo</code>
auth, but does not require that the client application ultimately run as root.
Default policy will still allow any application to connect to the RO socket.
</p>
<p>
The default policy can be overridden by creating a new policy file in the
<code>/etc/polkit-1/rules.d</code> directory. Information on the options
available can be found by reading the <code>polkit(8)</code> man page. The
two libvirt actions are named <code>org.libvirt.unix.manage</code> for full
management access, and <code>org.libvirt.unix.monitor</code> for read-only
access.
</p>
<p>
As an example, creating <code>/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/80-libvirt-manage.rules</code>
with the following gives the user <code>fred</code> full management access
when accessing from an active local session:
</p>
<pre>polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" &amp;&amp;
subject.local &amp;&amp; subject.active &amp;&amp; subject.user == "fred") {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});</pre>
<p>
Older versions of PolicyKit used policy files ending with .pkla in the
local override directory <code>/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/</code>.
Compatibility with this older format is provided by <a
href="https://pagure.io/polkit-pkla-compat">polkit-pkla-compat</a>. As an
example, this gives the user <code>fred</code> full management access:
</p>
<pre>[Allow fred libvirt management permissions]
Identity=unix-user:fred
Action=org.libvirt.unix.manage
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes</pre>
<h2><a id="ACL_server_sasl">SASL pluggable authentication</a></h2>
<p>
Libvirt integrates with the cyrus-sasl library to provide a pluggable authentication
system using the SASL protocol. SASL can be used in combination with libvirtd's TLS
or TCP socket listeners. When used with the TCP listener, the SASL mechanism is
rqeuired to provide session encryption in addition to authentication. Only a very
few SASL mechanisms are able to do this, and of those that can do it, only the
GSSAPI plugin is considered acceptably secure by modern standards:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>GSSAPI</dt>
<dd><strong>This is the current default mechanism to use with libvirtd</strong>.
It uses the Kerberos v5 authentication protocol underneath, and assuming
the Kerberos client/server are configured with modern ciphers (AES),
it provides strong session encryption capabilities.</dd>
<dt>DIGEST-MD5</dt>
<dd>This was previously set as the default mechanism to use with libvirtd.
It provides a simple username/password based authentication mechanism
that includes session encryption.
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6331">RFC 6331</a>, however,
documents a number of serious security flaws with DIGEST-MD5 and as a
result marks it as <code>OBSOLETE</code>. Specific concerns are that
it is vulnerable to MITM attacks and the MD5 hash can be brute-forced
to reveal the password. A replacement is provided via the SCRAM mechanism,
however, note that this does not provide encryption, so the SCRAM
mechanism can only be used on the libvirtd TLS listener.
</dd>
<dt>PASSDSS-3DES-1</dt>
<dd>This provides a simple username/password based authentication
mechanism that includes session encryption. The current cyrus-sasl
implementation does not provide a way to validate the server's
public key identity, thus it is susceptible to a MITM attacker
impersonating the server. It is also not enabled in many OS
distros when building SASL libraries.</dd>
<dt>KERBEROS_V4</dt>
<dd>This uses the obsolete Kerberos v4 protocol to provide both authentication
and session encryption. Kerberos v4 protocol has been obsolete since the
early 1990's and has known security vulnerabilities so this will never be
used in practice.</dd>
</dl>
<p>
Other SASL mechanisms, not listed above, can only be used when the libvirtd
TLS or UNIX socket listeners.
</p>
<h3><a id="ACL_server_username">Username/password auth</a></h3>
<p>
As noted above, the DIGEST-MD5 mechanism is considered obsolete and should
not be used anymore. To provide a simple username/password auth scheme on
the libvirt UNIX socket or TLS listeners, however, it is possible to use
the SCRAM mechanism. The <code>auth_unix_ro</code>, <code>auth_unix_rw</code>,
<code>auth_tls</code> config params in <code>libvirt.conf</code> can be used
to turn on SASL auth in these listeners.
</p>
<p>
Since the libvirt SASL config file defaults to using GSSAPI (Kerberos), a
config change is required to enable plain password auth. This is done by
editting <code>/etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf</code> to set the <code>mech_list</code>
parameter to <code>scram-sha-1</code>.
</p>
<p>
Out of the box, no user accounts are defined, so no clients will be able to authenticate
on the TCP socket. Adding users and setting their passwords is done with the <code>saslpasswd2</code>
command. When running this command it is important to tell it that the appname is <code>libvirt</code>.
As an example, to add a user <code>fred</code>, run
</p>
<pre>
# saslpasswd2 -a libvirt fred
Password: xxxxxx
Again (for verification): xxxxxx
</pre>
<p>
To see a list of all accounts the <code>sasldblistusers2</code> command can be used.
This command expects to be given the path to the libvirt user database, which is kept
in <code>/etc/libvirt/passwd.db</code>
</p>
<pre>
# sasldblistusers2 -f /etc/libvirt/passwd.db
fred@t60wlan.home.berrange.com: userPassword
</pre>
<p>
Finally, to disable a user's access, the <code>saslpasswd2</code> command can be used
again:
</p>
<pre>
# saslpasswd2 -a libvirt -d fred
</pre>
<h3><a id="ACL_server_kerberos">GSSAPI/Kerberos auth</a></h3>
<p>
The plain TCP listener of the libvirt daemon defaults to using SASL for authentication.
The libvirt SASL config also defaults to GSSAPI, so there is no need to edit the
SASL config when using GSSAPI. If the libvirtd TLS or UNIX listeners are used,
then the Kerberos session encryption will be disabled since it is not required
in these scenarios - only the plain TCP listener needs encryption
</p>
<p>
Some operating systems do not install the SASL kerberos plugin by default. It
may be necessary to install a sub-package such as <code>cyrus-sasl-gssapi</code>.
To check whether the Kerberos plugin is installed run the <code>pluginviewer</code>
program and verify that <code>gssapi</code> is listed, e.g.:
</p>
<pre>
# pluginviewer
...snip...
Plugin "gssapiv2" [loaded], API version: 4
SASL mechanism: GSSAPI, best SSF: 56
security flags: NO_ANONYMOUS|NO_PLAINTEXT|NO_ACTIVE|PASS_CREDENTIALS|MUTUAL_AUTH
features: WANT_CLIENT_FIRST|PROXY_AUTHENTICATION|NEED_SERVER_FQDN
</pre>
<p>
Next it is necessary for the administrator of the Kerberos realm to
issue a principal for the libvirt server. There needs to be one
principal per host running the libvirt daemon. The principal should be
named <code>libvirt/full.hostname@KERBEROS.REALM</code>. This is
typically done by running the <code>kadmin.local</code> command on the
Kerberos server, though some Kerberos servers have alternate ways of
setting up service principals. Once created, the principal should be
exported to a keytab, copied to the host running the libvirt daemon
and placed in <code>/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab</code>
</p>
<pre>
# kadmin.local
kadmin.local: add_principal libvirt/foo.example.com
Enter password for principal "libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM":
Re-enter password for principal "libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM":
Principal "libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM" created.
kadmin.local: ktadd -k /root/libvirt-foo-example.tab libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM
Entry for principal libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM with kvno 4, encryption type Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1 added to keytab WRFILE:/root/libvirt-foo-example.tab.
Entry for principal libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM with kvno 4, encryption type ArcFour with HMAC/md5 added to keytab WRFILE:/root/libvirt-foo-example.tab.
Entry for principal libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM with kvno 4, encryption type DES with HMAC/sha1 added to keytab WRFILE:/root/libvirt-foo-example.tab.
Entry for principal libvirt/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM with kvno 4, encryption type DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5 added to keytab WRFILE:/root/libvirt-foo-example.tab.
kadmin.local: quit
# scp /root/libvirt-foo-example.tab root@foo.example.com:/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab
# rm /root/libvirt-foo-example.tab
</pre>
<p>
Any client application wishing to connect to a Kerberos enabled libvirt server
merely needs to run <code>kinit</code> to gain a user principal. This may well
be done automatically when a user logs into a desktop session, if PAM is set up
to authenticate against Kerberos.

==============
Best practices
==============
These are a few guidelines to keep in mind when submitting patches
to libvirt: following them will maximise the chance of your patches
being reviewed in a timely manner and being accepted into libvirt
with minimal back-and-forth.
- Discuss any large changes on the mailing list first. Post
patches early and listen to feedback.
- In your commit message, make the summary line reasonably short
(60 characters is typical), followed by a blank line, followed
by any longer description of why your patch makes sense. If the
patch fixes a regression, and you know what commit introduced
the problem, mentioning that is useful. If the patch resolves a
upstream bug reported in GitLab, put "Fixes: #NNN" in the commit
message. For a downstream bug, mention the URL of the bug instead.
In both cases also summarize the issue rather than making all
readers follow the link. You can use 'git shortlog -30' to get
an idea of typical summary lines.
- Split large changes into a series of smaller patches,
self-contained if possible, with an explanation of each patch
and an explanation of how the sequence of patches fits
together. Moreover, please keep in mind that it's required to
be able to compile cleanly (**including**
``make check`` and ``make syntax-check``) after each
patch. A feature does not have to work until the end of a
series, but intermediate patches must compile and not cause
test-suite failures (this is to preserve the usefulness of
``git bisect``, among other things).
There is more on this subject, including lots of links to
background reading on the subject, on `Richard Jones' guide to
working with open source
projects <http://people.redhat.com/rjones/how-to-supply-code-to-open-source-projects/>`__.

<strong>PHP</strong>: Radek Hladik started developing
<a href="https://libvirt.org/php">PHP bindings</a> in 2010.
</p>
<p>
In February 2011 the binding development has been moved to the libvirt.org website as
libvirt-php project.
</p>
<p>
The project is now maintained by Michal Novotny and it's heavily based
on Radek's version. For more information, including
information on posting patches to libvirt-php, please refer
to the <a href="https://libvirt.org/php">PHP bindings</a> site.

<p>
<strong>Python</strong>: Libvirt's python bindings are split to a
separate <a href="https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-python.git">package</a>
since version 1.2.0, older versions came with direct support for the
Python language.
</p>
<p>
If your libvirt is installed as packages, rather than compiled
by you from source code, ensure you have the appropriate
package installed.

<h1>Bug reporting</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="security">Security Issues</a></h2>
<p>
If you think that an issue with libvirt may have security
implications, <strong>please do not</strong> publicly
report it in the bug tracker, mailing lists, or irc. Libvirt
has <a href="securityprocess.html">a dedicated process for handling (potential) security issues</a>
that should be used instead. So if your issue has security
implications, ignore the rest of this page and follow the
<a href="securityprocess.html">security process</a> instead.
</p>
<h2><a id="bugtracking">Bug Tracking</a></h2>
<p>
If you are using libvirt binaries from a Linux distribution
check below for distribution specific bug reporting policies
first.
</p>
<h2><a id="general">General libvirt bug reports</a></h2>
<p>
Bugs in upstream libvirt code should be reported as issues in the
appropriate <a href="https://gitlab.com/libvirt">project on GitLab.</a>
Before submitting a ticket, check the existing tickets to see if
the bug/feature is already tracked.
</p>
<p>
It's always a good idea to file bug reports, as the process of
filing the report always makes it easier to describe the
problem, and the bug number provides a quick way of referring to
the problem. However, not everybody in the community pays frequent
attention to issues, so after you file a bug, asking questions
and submitting patches on <a href="contact.html">the libvirt
mailing lists</a> will increase your bug's visibility and
encourage people to think about your problem. Don't hesitate to
ask questions on the list, as others may know of existing
solutions or be interested in collaborating with you on finding
a solution. Patches are always appreciated, and it's likely
that someone else has the same problem you do!
</p>
<p>
If you decide to write code, though, before you begin please
read the <a href="hacking.html">contributor guidelines</a>,
especially the first point: "Discuss any large changes on the
mailing list first. Post patches early and listen to feedback."
Few development experiences are more discouraging than spending
a bunch of time writing a patch only to have someone point out a
better approach on list.

</ul>
<p>
Note bugs in language bindings and other sub-projects should be
reported to their corresponding git repository rather than the
main libvirt.git linked above.
</p>
<h2><a id="distribution">Linux Distribution specific bug reports</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>
If you are using binaries from <strong>Fedora</strong>, enter
tickets against the <code>Fedora</code> product and

</ul>
<h2><a id="quality">How to file high quality bug reports</a></h2>
<p>
To increase the likelihood of your bug report being addressed it is
important to provide as much information as possible. When filing
libvirt bugs use this checklist to see if you are providing enough
information:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The version number of the libvirt build, or SHA1 of the GIT
commit</li>
<li>The hardware architecture being used</li>
<li>The name of the hypervisor (Xen, QEMU, KVM)</li>
<li>The XML config of the guest domain if relevant</li>
<li>For Xen hypervisor, the domain logfiles from /var/log/xen and
/var/log/libvirt/libxl</li>
<li>For QEMU/KVM, the domain logfile from /var/log/libvirt/qemu</li>
</ul>
<p>
If the bug leads to a tool linked to libvirt crash, then the best
is to provide a backtrace along with the scenario used to get the
crash, the simplest is to run the program under gdb, reproduce the
steps leading to the crash and then issue a gdb "bt -a" command to
get the stack trace, attach it to the bug. Note that for the
data to be really useful libvirt debug information must be present
for example by installing libvirt debuginfo package on Fedora or
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (with debuginfo-install libvirt) prior
to running gdb.</p>
<p>
It may also happen that the libvirt daemon itself crashes or gets stuck,
in the first case run it (as root) under gdb, and reproduce the sequence
leading to the crash, similarly to a normal program provide the
"bt" backtrace information to where gdb will have stopped.<br/>
But if libvirtd gets stuck, for example seems to stop processing
commands, try to attach to the faulty daemon and issue a gdb command
"thread apply all bt" to show all the threads backtraces, as in:</p>
<pre> # ps -o etime,pid `pgrep libvirt`
... note the process id from the output
# gdb /usr/sbin/libvirtd
.... some information about gdb and loading debug data
(gdb) attach $the_daemon_process_id
....
(gdb) thread apply all bt
.... information to attach to the bug
(gdb)

<h1>Control Groups Resource Management</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
The QEMU and LXC drivers make use of the Linux "Control Groups" facility
for applying resource management to their virtual machines and containers.
</p>
<h2><a id="requiredControllers">Required controllers</a></h2>
<p>
The control groups filesystem supports multiple "controllers". By default
the init system (such as systemd) should mount all controllers compiled
into the kernel at <code>/sys/fs/cgroup/$CONTROLLER-NAME</code>. Libvirt
will never attempt to mount any controllers itself, merely detect where
they are mounted.
</p>
<p>
The QEMU driver is capable of using the <code>cpuset</code>,
<code>cpu</code>, <code>cpuacct</code>, <code>memory</code>,
<code>blkio</code> and <code>devices</code> controllers.
None of them are compulsory. If any controller is not mounted,
the resource management APIs which use it will cease to operate.
It is possible to explicitly turn off use of a controller,
even when mounted, via the <code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code>
configuration file.
</p>
<p>
The LXC driver is capable of using the <code>cpuset</code>,
<code>cpu</code>, <code>cpuacct</code>, <code>freezer</code>,
<code>memory</code>, <code>blkio</code> and <code>devices</code>
controllers. The <code>cpuacct</code>, <code>devices</code>
and <code>memory</code> controllers are compulsory. Without
them mounted, no containers can be started. If any of the
other controllers are not mounted, the resource management APIs
which use them will cease to operate.
</p>
<h2><a id="currentLayout">Current cgroups layout</a></h2>
<p>
As of libvirt 1.0.5 or later, the cgroups layout created by libvirt has been
simplified, in order to facilitate the setup of resource control policies by
administrators / management applications. The new layout is based on the concepts
of "partitions" and "consumers". A "consumer" is a cgroup which holds the
processes for a single virtual machine or container. A "partition" is a cgroup
which does not contain any processes, but can have resource controls applied.
A "partition" will have zero or more child directories which may be either
"consumer" or "partition".
</p>
<p>
As of libvirt 1.1.1 or later, the cgroups layout will have some slight
differences when running on a host with systemd 205 or later. The overall
tree structure is the same, but there are some differences in the naming
conventions for the cgroup directories. Thus the following docs split
in two, one describing systemd hosts and the other non-systemd hosts.
</p>
<h3><a id="currentLayoutSystemd">Systemd cgroups integration</a></h3>
<p>
On hosts which use systemd, each consumer maps to a systemd scope unit,
while partitions map to a system slice unit.
</p>
<h4><a id="systemdScope">Systemd scope naming</a></h4>
<p>
The systemd convention is for the scope name of virtual machines / containers
to be of the general format <code>machine-$NAME.scope</code>. Libvirt forms the
<code>$NAME</code> part of this by concatenating the driver type with the id
and truncated name of the guest, and then escaping any systemd reserved
characters.
So for a guest <code>demo</code> running under the <code>lxc</code> driver,
we get a <code>$NAME</code> of <code>lxc-12345-demo</code> which when escaped
is <code>lxc\x2d12345\x2ddemo</code>. So the complete scope name is
<code>machine-lxc\x2d12345\x2ddemo.scope</code>.
The scope names map directly to the cgroup directory names.
</p>
<h4><a id="systemdSlice">Systemd slice naming</a></h4>
<p>
The systemd convention for slice naming is that a slice should include the
name of all of its parents prepended on its own name. So for a libvirt
partition <code>/machine/engineering/testing</code>, the slice name will
be <code>machine-engineering-testing.slice</code>. Again the slice names
map directly to the cgroup directory names. Systemd creates three top level
slices by default, <code>system.slice</code> <code>user.slice</code> and
<code>machine.slice</code>. All virtual machines or containers created
by libvirt will be associated with <code>machine.slice</code> by default.
</p>
<h4><a id="systemdLayout">Systemd cgroup layout</a></h4>
<p>
Given this, a possible systemd cgroups layout involving 3 qemu guests,
3 lxc containers and 3 custom child slices, would be:
</p>
<pre>
$ROOT
|
+- system.slice
| |
| +- libvirtd.service
|
+- machine.slice
|
+- machine-qemu\x2d1\x2dvm1.scope
| |
| +- emulator
| +- vcpu0
| +- vcpu1
|
+- machine-qemu\x2d2\x2dvm2.scope

| +- machine-lxc\x2d22222\x2dcontainer2.scope
|
+- machine-marketing.slice
|
+- machine-lxc\x2d33333\x2dcontainer3.scope
</pre>
<h3><a id="currentLayoutGeneric">Non-systemd cgroups layout</a></h3>
<p>
On hosts which do not use systemd, each consumer has a corresponding cgroup
named <code>$VMNAME.libvirt-{qemu,lxc}</code>. Each consumer is associated
with exactly one partition, which also have a corresponding cgroup usually
named <code>$PARTNAME.partition</code>. The exceptions to this naming rule
is the top level default partition for virtual machines and containers
<code>/machine</code>.
</p>
<p>
Given this, a possible non-systemd cgroups layout involving 3 qemu guests,
3 lxc containers and 2 custom child slices, would be:
</p>
<pre>
$ROOT
|
+- machine
|
+- qemu-1-vm1.libvirt-qemu

| |
| +- lxc-22222-container2.libvirt-lxc
|
+- marketing.partition
|
+- lxc-33333-container3.libvirt-lxc
</pre>
<h2><a id="customPartiton">Using custom partitions</a></h2>
<p>
If there is a need to apply resource constraints to groups of
virtual machines or containers, then the single default
partition <code>/machine</code> may not be sufficiently
flexible. The administrator may wish to sub-divide the
default partition, for example into "testing" and "production"
partitions, and then assign each guest to a specific
sub-partition. This is achieved via a small element addition
to the guest domain XML config, just below the main <code>domain</code>
element
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;resource&gt;
&lt;partition&gt;/machine/production&lt;/partition&gt;
&lt;/resource&gt;
...
</pre>
<p>
Note that the partition names in the guest XML are using a
generic naming format, not the low level naming convention
required by the underlying host OS. That is, you should not include
any of the <code>.partition</code> or <code>.slice</code>
suffixes in the XML config. Given a partition name
<code>/machine/production</code>, libvirt will automatically
apply the platform specific translation required to get
<code>/machine/production.partition</code> (non-systemd)
or <code>/machine.slice/machine-production.slice</code>
(systemd) as the underlying cgroup name
</p>
<p>
Libvirt will not auto-create the cgroups directory to back
this partition. In the future, libvirt / virsh will provide
APIs / commands to create custom partitions, but currently
this is left as an exercise for the administrator.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> the ability to place guests in custom
partitions is only available with libvirt &gt;= 1.0.5, using
the new cgroup layout. The legacy cgroups layout described
later in this document did not support customization per guest.
</p>
<h3><a id="createSystemd">Creating custom partitions (systemd)</a></h3>
<p>
Given the XML config above, the admin on a systemd based host would
need to create a unit file <code>/etc/systemd/system/machine-production.slice</code>
</p>
<pre>
# cat &gt; /etc/systemd/system/machine-testing.slice &lt;&lt;EOF
[Unit]
Description=VM testing slice
Before=slices.target
Wants=machine.slice
EOF
# systemctl start machine-testing.slice
</pre>
<h3><a id="createNonSystemd">Creating custom partitions (non-systemd)</a></h3>
<p>
Given the XML config above, the admin on a non-systemd based host
would need to create a cgroup named '/machine/production.partition'
</p>
<pre>
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup
# for i in blkio cpu,cpuacct cpuset devices freezer memory net_cls perf_event
do
mkdir $i/machine/production.partition
done
# for i in cpuset.cpus cpuset.mems
do
cat cpuset/machine/$i > cpuset/machine/production.partition/$i
done
</pre>
<h2><a id="resourceAPIs">Resource management APIs/commands</a></h2>
<p>
Since libvirt aims to provide an API which is portable across
hypervisors, the concept of cgroups is not exposed directly
in the API or XML configuration. It is considered to be an
internal implementation detail. Instead libvirt provides a
set of APIs for applying resource controls, which are then
mapped to corresponding cgroup tunables
</p>
<h3>Scheduler tuning</h3>
<p>
Parameters from the "cpu" controller are exposed via the
<code>schedinfo</code> command in virsh.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh schedinfo demo
Scheduler : posix
cpu_shares : 1024
vcpu_period : 100000
vcpu_quota : -1
emulator_period: 100000
emulator_quota : -1</pre>
<h3>Block I/O tuning</h3>
<p>
Parameters from the "blkio" controller are exposed via the
<code>bkliotune</code> command in virsh.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh blkiotune demo
weight : 500
device_weight : </pre>
<h3>Memory tuning</h3>
<p>
Parameters from the "memory" controller are exposed via the
<code>memtune</code> command in virsh.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh memtune demo
hard_limit : 580192
soft_limit : unlimited
swap_hard_limit: unlimited
</pre>
<h3>Network tuning</h3>
<p>
The <code>net_cls</code> is not currently used. Instead traffic
filter policies are set directly against individual virtual
network interfaces.
</p>
<h2><a id="legacyLayout">Legacy cgroups layout</a></h2>
<p>
Prior to libvirt 1.0.5, the cgroups layout created by libvirt was different
from that described above, and did not allow for administrator customization.
Libvirt used a fixed, 3-level hierarchy <code>libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME</code>
which was rooted at the point in the hierarchy where libvirtd itself was
located. So if libvirtd was placed at <code>/system/libvirtd.service</code>
by systemd, the groups for each virtual machine / container would be located
at <code>/system/libvirtd.service/libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME</code>. In addition
to this, the QEMU drivers further child groups for each vCPU thread and the
emulator thread(s). This leads to a hierarchy that looked like
</p>
<pre>
$ROOT
|
+- system
|
+- libvirtd.service
|
+- libvirt
|
+- qemu
| |
| +- vm1
| | |
| | +- emulator
| | +- vcpu0
| | +- vcpu1
| |
| +- vm2
| | |
| | +- emulator
| | +- vcpu0
| | +- vcpu1
| |
| +- vm3
| |
| +- emulator
| +- vcpu0
| +- vcpu1
|
+- lxc
|
+- container1
|
+- container2
|
+- container3
</pre>
<p>
Although current releases are much improved, historically the use of deep
hierarchies has had a significant negative impact on the kernel scalability.
The legacy libvirt cgroups layout highlighted these problems, to the detriment
of the performance of virtual machines and containers.

Coding style
============
.. contents::
Naming conventions
==================
When reading libvirt code, a number of different naming
conventions will be evident due to various changes in thinking
over the course of the project's lifetime. The conventions
documented below should be followed when creating any entirely new
files in libvirt. When working on existing files, while it is
desirable to apply these conventions, keeping a consistent style
with existing code in that particular file is generally more
important. The overall guiding principal is that every file, enum,
struct, function, macro and typedef name must have a 'vir' or
'VIR' prefix. All local scope variable names are exempt, and
global variables are exempt, unless exported in a header file.
File names
File naming varies depending on the subdirectory. The preferred
style is to have a 'vir' prefix, followed by a name which
matches the name of the functions / objects inside the file.
For example, a file containing an object 'virHashtable' is
stored in files 'virhashtable.c' and 'virhashtable.h'.
Sometimes, methods which would otherwise be declared 'static'
need to be exported for use by a test suite. For this purpose a
second header file should be added with a suffix of 'priv',
e.g. 'virhashtablepriv.h'. Use of underscores in file names is
discouraged when using the 'vir' prefix style. The 'vir' prefix
naming applies to src/util, src/rpc and tests/ directories.
Most other directories do not follow this convention.
Enum type & field names
All enums should have a 'vir' prefix in their typedef name, and
each following word should have its first letter in uppercase.
The enum name should match the typedef name with a leading
underscore. The enum member names should be in all uppercase,
and use an underscore to separate each word. The enum member
name prefix should match the enum typedef name.
::
typedef enum _virSocketType virSocketType;
enum _virSocketType {
VIR_SOCKET_TYPE_IPV4,
VIR_SOCKET_TYPE_IPV6,
};
Struct type names
All structs should have a 'vir' prefix in their typedef name,
and each following word should have its first letter in
uppercase. The struct name should be the same as the typedef
name with a leading underscore. A second typedef should be
given for a pointer to the struct with a 'Ptr' suffix.
::
typedef struct _virHashTable virHashTable;
typedef virHashTable *virHashTablePtr;
struct _virHashTable {
...
};
Function names
All functions should have a 'vir' prefix in their name,
followed by one or more words with first letter of each word
capitalized. Underscores should not be used in function names.
If the function is operating on an object, then the function
name prefix should match the object typedef name, otherwise it
should match the filename. Following this comes the verb /
action name, and finally an optional subject name. For example,
given an object 'virHashTable', all functions should have a
name 'virHashTable$VERB' or 'virHashTable$VERB$SUBJECT", e.g.
'virHashTableLookup' or 'virHashTableGetValue'.
Macro names
All macros should have a "VIR" prefix in their name, followed
by one or more uppercase words separated by underscores. The
macro argument names should be in lowercase. Aside from having
a "VIR" prefix there are no common practices for the rest of
the macro name.
Code indentation
================
Libvirt's C source code generally adheres to some basic
code-formatting conventions. The existing code base is not totally
consistent on this front, but we do prefer that contributed code
be formatted similarly. In short, use spaces-not-TABs for
indentation, use 4 spaces for each indentation level, and other
than that, follow the K&R style.
If you use Emacs, the project includes a file .dir-locals.el that
sets up the preferred indentation. If you use vim, append the
following to your ~/.vimrc file:
::
set nocompatible
filetype on
set autoindent
set smartindent
set cindent
set tabstop=8
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set cinoptions=(0,:0,l1,t0,L3
filetype plugin indent on
au FileType make setlocal noexpandtab
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.am setlocal noexpandtab
match ErrorMsg /\s\+$\| \+\ze\t/
Or if you don't want to mess your ~/.vimrc up, you can save the
above into a file called .lvimrc (not .vimrc) located at the root
of libvirt source, then install a vim script from
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1408, which will
load the .lvimrc only when you edit libvirt code.
Code formatting (especially for new code)
=========================================
With new code, we can be even more strict. Please apply the
following function (using GNU indent) to any new code. Note that
this also gives you an idea of the type of spacing we prefer
around operators and keywords:
::
indent-libvirt()
{
indent -bad -bap -bbb -bli4 -br -ce -brs -cs -i4 -l75 -lc75 \
-sbi4 -psl -saf -sai -saw -sbi4 -ss -sc -cdw -cli4 -npcs -nbc \
--no-tabs "$@"
}
Note that sometimes you'll have to post-process that output
further, by piping it through ``expand -i``, since some leading
TABs can get through. Usually they're in macro definitions or
strings, and should be converted anyhow.
Libvirt requires a C99 compiler for various reasons. However, most
of the code base prefers to stick to C89 syntax unless there is a
compelling reason otherwise. For example, it is preferable to use
``/* */`` comments rather than ``//``. Also, when declaring local
variables, the prevailing style has been to declare them at the
beginning of a scope, rather than immediately before use.
Bracket spacing
---------------
The keywords ``if``, ``for``, ``while``, and ``switch`` must have
a single space following them before the opening bracket. E.g.
::
if(foo) // Bad
if (foo) // Good
Function implementations must **not** have any whitespace between
the function name and the opening bracket. E.g.
::
int foo (int wizz) // Bad
int foo(int wizz) // Good
Function calls must **not** have any whitespace between the
function name and the opening bracket. E.g.
::
bar = foo (wizz); // Bad
bar = foo(wizz); // Good
Function typedefs must **not** have any whitespace between the
closing bracket of the function name and opening bracket of the
arg list. E.g.
::
typedef int (*foo) (int wizz); // Bad
typedef int (*foo)(int wizz); // Good
There must not be any whitespace immediately following any opening
bracket, or immediately prior to any closing bracket. E.g.
::
int foo( int wizz ); // Bad
int foo(int wizz); // Good
Commas
------
Commas should always be followed by a space or end of line, and
never have leading space; this is enforced during 'make
syntax-check'.
::
call(a,b ,c);// Bad
call(a, b, c); // Good
When declaring an enum or using a struct initializer that occupies
more than one line, use a trailing comma. That way, future edits
to extend the list only have to add a line, rather than modify an
existing line to add the intermediate comma. Any sentinel
enumerator value with a name ending in \_LAST is exempt, since you
would extend such an enum before the \_LAST element. Another
reason to favor trailing commas is that it requires less effort to
produce via code generators. Note that the syntax checker is
unable to enforce a style of trailing commas, so there are
counterexamples in existing code which do not use it; also, while
C99 allows trailing commas, remember that JSON and XDR do not.
::
enum {
VALUE_ONE,
VALUE_TWO // Bad
};
enum {
VALUE_THREE,
VALUE_FOUR, // Good
};
Semicolons
----------
Semicolons should never have a space beforehand. Inside the
condition of a ``for`` loop, there should always be a space or
line break after each semicolon, except for the special case of an
infinite loop (although more infinite loops use ``while``). While
not enforced, loop counters generally use post-increment.
::
for (i = 0 ;i < limit ; ++i) { // Bad
for (i = 0; i < limit; i++) { // Good
for (;;) { // ok
while (1) { // Better
Empty loop bodies are better represented with curly braces and a
comment, although use of a semicolon is not currently rejected.
::
while ((rc = waitpid(pid, &st, 0) == -1) &&
errno == EINTR); // ok
while ((rc = waitpid(pid, &st, 0) == -1) &&
errno == EINTR) { // Better
/* nothing */
}
Curly braces
------------
Omit the curly braces around an ``if``, ``while``, ``for`` etc.
body only when both that body and the condition itself occupy a
single line. In every other case we require the braces. This
ensures that it is trivially easy to identify a
single-\ *statement* loop: each has only one *line* in its body.
::
while (expr) // single line body; {} is forbidden
single_line_stmt();
::
while (expr(arg1,
arg2)) // indentation makes it obvious it is single line,
single_line_stmt(); // {} is optional (not enforced either way)
::
while (expr1 &&
expr2) { // multi-line, at same indentation, {} required
single_line_stmt();
}
However, the moment your loop/if/else body extends on to a second
line, for whatever reason (even if it's just an added comment),
then you should add braces. Otherwise, it would be too easy to
insert a statement just before that comment (without adding
braces), thinking it is already a multi-statement loop:
::
while (true) // BAD! multi-line body with no braces
/* comment... */
single_line_stmt();
Do this instead:
::
while (true) { // Always put braces around a multi-line body.
/* comment... */
single_line_stmt();
}
There is one exception: when the second body line is not at the
same indentation level as the first body line:
::
if (expr)
die("a diagnostic that would make this line"
" extend past the 80-column limit"));
It is safe to omit the braces in the code above, since the
further-indented second body line makes it obvious that this is
still a single-statement body.
To reiterate, don't do this:
::
if (expr) // BAD: no braces around...
while (expr_2) { // ... a multi-line body
...
}
Do this, instead:
::
if (expr) {
while (expr_2) {
...
}
}
However, there is one exception in the other direction, when even
a one-line block should have braces. That occurs when that
one-line, brace-less block is an ``if`` or ``else`` block, and the
counterpart block **does** use braces. In that case, put braces
around both blocks. Also, if the ``else`` block is much shorter
than the ``if`` block, consider negating the ``if``-condition and
swapping the bodies, putting the short block first and making the
longer, multi-line block be the ``else`` block.
::
if (expr) {
...
...
}
else
x = y; // BAD: braceless "else" with braced "then",
// and short block last
if (expr)
x = y; // BAD: braceless "if" with braced "else"
else {
...
...
}
Keeping braces consistent and putting the short block first is
preferred, especially when the multi-line body is more than a few
lines long, because it is easier to read and grasp the semantics
of an if-then-else block when the simpler block occurs first,
rather than after the more involved block:
::
if (!expr) {
x = y; // putting the smaller block first is more readable
} else {
...
...
}
But if negating a complex condition is too ugly, then at least add
braces:
::
if (complex expr not worth negating) {
...
...
} else {
x = y;
}
Use hanging braces for compound statements: the opening brace of a
compound statement should be on the same line as the condition
being tested. Only top-level function bodies, nested scopes, and
compound structure declarations should ever have { on a line by
itself.
::
void
foo(int a, int b)
{ // correct - function body
int 2d[][] = {
{ // correct - complex initialization
1, 2,
},
};
if (a)
{ // BAD: compound brace on its own line
do_stuff();
}
{ // correct - nested scope
int tmp;
if (a < b) { // correct - hanging brace
tmp = b;
b = a;
a = tmp;
}
}
}
Conditional expressions
-----------------------
For readability reasons new code should avoid shortening
comparisons to 0 for numeric types. Boolean and pointer
comparisions may be shortened. All long forms are okay:
::
virFooPtr foos = NULL;
size nfoos = 0;
bool hasFoos = false;
GOOD:
if (!foos)
if (!hasFoos)
if (nfoos == 0)
if (foos == NULL)
if (hasFoos == true)
BAD:
if (!nfoos)
if (nfoos)
New code should avoid the ternary operator as much as possible.
Specifically it must never span more than one line or nest:
::
BAD:
char *foo = baz ?
virDoSomethingReallyComplex(driver, vm, something, baz->foo) :
NULL;
char *foo = bar ? bar->baz ? bar->baz->foo : "nobaz" : "nobar";
Preprocessor
------------
Macros defined with an ALL_CAPS name should generally be assumed
to be unsafe with regards to arguments with side-effects (that is,
MAX(a++, b--) might increment a or decrement b too many or too few
times). Exceptions to this rule are explicitly documented for
macros in viralloc.h and virstring.h.
For variadic macros, stick with C99 syntax:
::
#define vshPrint(_ctl, ...) fprintf(stdout, __VA_ARGS__)
Use parenthesis when checking if a macro is defined, and use
indentation to track nesting:
::
#if defined(HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE) && !defined(HAVE_FALLOCATE)
# define fallocate(a, ignored, b, c) posix_fallocate(a, b, c)
#endif
C types
-------
Use the right type.
Scalars
~~~~~~~
- If you're using ``int`` or ``long``, odds are good that there's
a better type.
- If a variable is counting something, be sure to declare it with
an unsigned type.
- If it's memory-size-related, use ``size_t`` (use ``ssize_t``
only if required).
- If it's file-size related, use uintmax_t, or maybe ``off_t``.
- If it's file-offset related (i.e., signed), use ``off_t``.
- If it's just counting small numbers use ``unsigned int``; (on
all but oddball embedded systems, you can assume that that type
is at least four bytes wide).
- If a variable has boolean semantics, give it the ``bool`` type
and use the corresponding ``true`` and ``false`` macros.
- In the unusual event that you require a specific width, use a
standard type like ``int32_t``, ``uint32_t``, ``uint64_t``,
etc.
- While using ``bool`` is good for readability, it comes with
minor caveats:
- Don't use ``bool`` in places where the type size must be
constant across all systems, like public interfaces and
on-the-wire protocols. Note that it would be possible
(albeit wasteful) to use ``bool`` in libvirt's logical wire
protocol, since XDR maps that to its lower-level ``bool_t``
type, which **is** fixed-size.
- Don't compare a bool variable against the literal, ``true``,
since a value with a logical non-false value need not be
``1``. I.e., don't write ``if (seen == true) ...``. Rather,
write ``if (seen)...``.
Of course, take all of the above with a grain of salt. If you're
about to use some system interface that requires a type like
``size_t``, ``pid_t`` or ``off_t``, use matching types for any
corresponding variables.
Also, if you try to use e.g., ``unsigned int`` as a type, and that
conflicts with the signedness of a related variable, sometimes
it's best just to use the **wrong** type, if *pulling the thread*
and fixing all related variables would be too invasive.
Finally, while using descriptive types is important, be careful
not to go overboard. If whatever you're doing causes warnings, or
requires casts, then reconsider or ask for help.
Pointers
~~~~~~~~
Ensure that all of your pointers are *const-correct*. Unless a
pointer is used to modify the pointed-to storage, give it the
``const`` attribute. That way, the reader knows up-front that this
is a read-only pointer. Perhaps more importantly, if we're
diligent about this, when you see a non-const pointer, you're
guaranteed that it is used to modify the storage it points to, or
it is aliased to another pointer that is.
Attribute annotations
---------------------
Use the following annotations to help the compiler and/or static
analysis tools understand the code better:
``ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL``
passing NULL for this parameter is not allowed
``ATTRIBUTE_PACKED``
force a structure to be packed
``G_GNUC_FALLTHROUGH``
allow code reuse by multiple switch cases
``G_GNUC_NO_INLINE``
the function is mocked in the test suite
``G_GNUC_NORETURN``
the function never returns
``G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED``
last parameter must be NULL
``G_GNUC_PRINTF``
validate that the formatting string matches parameters
``G_GNUC_UNUSED``
parameter is unused in this implementation of the function
``G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT``
the return value must be checked
File handling
-------------
Usage of the ``fdopen()``, ``close()``, ``fclose()`` APIs is
deprecated in libvirt code base to help avoiding double-closing of
files or file descriptors, which is particularly dangerous in a
multi-threaded application. Instead of these APIs, use the macros
from virfile.h
- Open a file from a file descriptor:
::
if ((file = VIR_FDOPEN(fd, "r")) == NULL) {
virReportSystemError(errno, "%s",
_("failed to open file from file descriptor"));
return -1;
}
/* fd is now invalid; only access the file using file variable */
- Close a file descriptor:
::
if (VIR_CLOSE(fd) < 0) {
virReportSystemError(errno, "%s", _("failed to close file"));
}
- Close a file:
::
if (VIR_FCLOSE(file) < 0) {
virReportSystemError(errno, "%s", _("failed to close file"));
}
- Close a file or file descriptor in an error path, without
losing the previous ``errno`` value:
::
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(fd);
VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE(file);
String comparisons
------------------
Do not use the strcmp, strncmp, etc functions directly. Instead
use one of the following semantically named macros
- For strict equality:
::
STREQ(a,b)
STRNEQ(a,b)
- For case insensitive equality:
::
STRCASEEQ(a,b)
STRCASENEQ(a,b)
- For strict equality of a substring:
::
STREQLEN(a,b,n)
STRNEQLEN(a,b,n)
- For case insensitive equality of a substring:
::
STRCASEEQLEN(a,b,n)
STRCASENEQLEN(a,b,n)
- For strict equality of a prefix:
::
STRPREFIX(a,b)
- To avoid having to check if a or b are NULL:
::
STREQ_NULLABLE(a, b)
STRNEQ_NULLABLE(a, b)
String copying
--------------
Do not use the strncpy function. According to the man page, it
does **not** guarantee a NULL-terminated buffer, which makes it
extremely dangerous to use. Instead, use one of the replacement
functions provided by libvirt:
::
virStrncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n, size_t destbytes)
The first two arguments have the same meaning as for strncpy,
namely the destination and source of the copy operation. Unlike
strncpy, the function will always copy exactly the number of bytes
requested and make sure the destination is NULL-terminated, as the
source is required to be; sanity checks are performed to ensure
the size of the destination, as specified by the last argument, is
sufficient for the operation to succeed. On success, 0 is
returned; on failure, a value <0 is returned instead.
::
virStrcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t destbytes)
Use this variant if you know you want to copy the entire src
string into dest.
::
virStrcpyStatic(char *dest, const char *src)
Use this variant if you know you want to copy the entire src
string into dest **and** you know that your destination string is
a static string (i.e. that sizeof(dest) returns something
meaningful). Note that this is a macro, so arguments could be
evaluated more than once.
::
dst = g_strdup(src);
dst = g_strndup(src, n);
You should avoid using strdup or strndup directly as they do not
handle out-of-memory errors, and do not allow a NULL source. Use
``g_strdup`` and ``g_strndup`` from GLib which abort on OOM and
handle NULL source by returning NULL.
Variable length string buffer
-----------------------------
If there is a need for complex string concatenations, avoid using
the usual sequence of malloc/strcpy/strcat/snprintf functions and
make use of either the
`GString <https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Strings.html>`__
type from GLib or the virBuffer API. If formatting XML or QEMU
command line is needed, use the virBuffer API described in
virbuffer.h, since it has helper functions for those.
Typical usage is as follows:
::
char *
somefunction(...)
{
g_auto(virBuffer) buf = VIR_BUFFER_INITIALIZER;
...
virBufferAddLit(&buf, "<domain>\n");
...
if (some_error)
return NULL; /* g_auto will free the memory used so far */
...
virBufferAddLit(&buf, "</domain>\n");
...
if (virBufferCheckError(&buf) < 0)
return NULL;
return virBufferContentAndReset(&buf);
}
Include files
-------------
There are now quite a large number of include files, both libvirt
internal and external, and system includes. To manage all this
complexity it's best to stick to the following general plan for
all \*.c source files:
::
/*
* Copyright notice
* ....
* ....
* ....
*
*/
#include <config.h> Must come first in every file.
#include <stdio.h> Any system includes you need.
#include <string.h>
#include <limits.h>
#if WITH_NUMACTL Some system includes aren't supported
# include <numa.h> everywhere so need these #if guards.
#endif
#include "internal.h" Include this first, after system includes.
#include "util.h" Any libvirt internal header files.
#include "buf.h"
static int
myInternalFunc() The actual code.
{
...
Of particular note: **Do not** include libvirt/libvirt.h,
libvirt/virterror.h, libvirt/libvirt-qemu.h, or
libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h. They are included by "internal.h" already
and there are some special reasons why you cannot include these
files explicitly. One of the special cases, "libvirt/libvirt.h" is
included prior to "internal.h" in "remote_protocol.x", to avoid
exposing \*_LAST enum elements.
Printf-style functions
----------------------
Whenever you add a new printf-style function, i.e., one with a
format string argument and following "..." in its prototype, be
sure to use gcc's printf attribute directive in the prototype. For
example, here's the one for virCommandAddEnvFormat in
vircommand.h:
::
void virCommandAddEnvFormat(virCommandPtr cmd, const char *format, ...)
G_GNUC_PRINTF(2, 3);
This makes it so gcc's -Wformat and -Wformat-security options can
do their jobs and cross-check format strings with the number and
types of arguments.
When printing to a string, consider using GString or virBuffer for
incremental allocations, g_strdup_printf for a one-shot
allocation, and g_snprintf for fixed-width buffers. Only use
g_sprintf, if you can prove the buffer won't overflow.
Error message format
--------------------
Error messages visible to the user should be short and
descriptive. All error messages are translated using gettext and
thus must be wrapped in ``_()`` macro. To simplify the translation
work, the error message must not be concatenated from various
parts. To simplify searching for the error message in the code the
strings should not be broken even if they result into a line
longer than 80 columns and any formatting modifier should be
enclosed by quotes or other obvious separator. If a string used
with ``%s`` can be NULL the NULLSTR macro must be used.
::
GOOD: virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
_("Failed to connect to remote host '%s'"), hostname)
BAD: virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
_("Failed to %s to remote host '%s'"),
"connect", hostname);
BAD: virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
_("Failed to connect "
"to remote host '%s'),
hostname);
Use of goto
-----------
The use of goto is not forbidden, and goto is widely used
throughout libvirt. While the uncontrolled use of goto will
quickly lead to unmaintainable code, there is a place for it in
well structured code where its use increases readability and
maintainability. In general, if goto is used for error recovery,
it's likely to be ok, otherwise, be cautious or avoid it all
together.
The typical use of goto is to jump to cleanup code in the case of
a long list of actions, any of which may fail and cause the entire
operation to fail. In this case, a function will have a single
label at the end of the function. It's almost always ok to use
this style. In particular, if the cleanup code only involves
free'ing memory, then having multiple labels is overkill. g_free()
and most of the functions named XXXFree() in libvirt is required
to handle NULL as its arg. This does not apply to libvirt's public
APIs. Thus you can safely call free on all the variables even if
they were not yet allocated (yes they have to have been
initialized to NULL). This is much simpler and clearer than having
multiple labels. Note that most of libvirt's type declarations can
be marked with either ``g_autofree`` or ``g_autoptr`` which uses
the compiler's ``__attribute__((cleanup))`` that calls the
appropriate free function when the variable goes out of scope.
There are a couple of signs that a particular use of goto is not
ok:
- You're using multiple labels. If you find yourself using
multiple labels, you're strongly encouraged to rework your code
to eliminate all but one of them.
- The goto jumps back up to a point above the current line of
code being executed. Please use some combination of looping
constructs to re-execute code instead; it's almost certainly
going to be more understandable by others. One well-known
exception to this rule is restarting an i/o operation following
EINTR.
- The goto jumps down to an arbitrary place in the middle of a
function followed by further potentially failing calls. You
should almost certainly be using a conditional and a block
instead of a goto. Perhaps some of your function's logic would
be better pulled out into a helper function.
Although libvirt does not encourage the Linux kernel wind/unwind
style of multiple labels, there's a good general discussion of the
issue archived at
`KernelTrap <http://kerneltrap.org/node/553/2131>`__
When using goto, please use one of these standard labels if it
makes sense:
::
error: A path only taken upon return with an error code
cleanup: A path taken upon return with success code + optional error
no_memory: A path only taken upon return with an OOM error code
retry: If needing to jump upwards (e.g., retry on EINTR)
Top-level labels should be indented by one space (putting them on
the beginning of the line confuses function context detection in
git):
::
int foo()
{
/* ... do stuff ... */
cleanup:
/* ... do other stuff ... */
}

====================
Committer guidelines
====================
The AUTHORS files indicates the list of people with commit access
right who can actually merge the patches.
The general rule for committing a patch is to make sure it has
been reviewed properly in the mailing-list first, usually if a
couple of people gave an ACK or +1 to a patch and nobody raised an
objection on the list it should be good to go. If the patch
touches a part of the code where you're not the main maintainer,
or where you do not have a very clear idea of how things work,
it's better to wait for a more authoritative feedback though.
Before committing, please also rebuild locally, run 'make check
syntax-check', and make sure you don't raise errors.
An exception to 'review and approval on the list first' is fixing
failures to build:
- if a recently committed patch breaks compilation on a platform
or for a given driver, then it's fine to commit a minimal fix
directly without getting the review feedback first
- if make check or make syntax-check breaks, if there is an
obvious fix, it's fine to commit immediately. The patch should
still be sent to the list (or tell what the fix was if
trivial), and 'make check syntax-check' should pass too, before
committing anything
- fixes for documentation and code comments can be managed in the
same way, but still make sure they get reviewed if non-trivial.
- (ir)regular pulls from other repositories or automated updates,
such as the keycodemap submodule updates, pulling in new
translations or updating the container images for the CI system

<h1><a id="installation">libvirt Installation</a></h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="compiling">Compiling a release tarball</a></h2>
<p>
libvirt uses the standard configure/make/install steps and mandates
that the build directory is different that the source directory:
</p>
<pre>
$ xz -c libvirt-x.x.x.tar.xz | tar xvf -
$ cd libvirt-x.x.x
$ mkdir build &amp;&amp; cd build
$ ../configure</pre>
<p>
The <i>configure</i> script can be given options to change its default
behaviour.
</p>
<p>
To get the complete list of the options it can take, pass it the
<i>--help</i> option like this:
</p>
<pre>
$ ../configure <i>--help</i></pre>
<p>
When you have determined which options you want to use (if any),
continue the process.
</p>
<p>
Note the use of <b>sudo</b> with the <i>make install</i> command
below. Using sudo is only required when installing to a location your
user does not have write access to. Installing to a system location
is a good example of this.
</p>
<p>
If you are installing to a location that your user <i>does</i> have write
access to, then you can instead run the <i>make install</i> command
without putting <b>sudo</b> before it.
</p>
<pre>
$ ../configure <i>[possible options]</i>
$ make
$ <b>sudo</b> <i>make install</i></pre>
<p>
At this point you <b>may</b> have to run ldconfig or a similar utility
to update your list of installed shared libs.
</p>
<h2><a id="building">Building from a GIT checkout</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a
checkout it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in
templates using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command. By default when
the <code>configure</code> script is run from within a GIT checkout, it
will turn on -Werror for builds. This can be disabled with
--disable-werror, but this is not recommended.
</p>
<p>To build &amp; install libvirt to your home
directory the following commands can be run:
</p>
<pre>
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ <b>sudo</b> make install</pre>
<p>
Be aware though, that binaries built with a custom prefix will not
interoperate with OS vendor provided binaries, since the UNIX socket
paths will all be different. To produce a build that is compatible
with normal OS vendor prefixes, use
</p>
<pre>
$ ./autogen.sh --system
$ make
</pre>
<p>
When doing this for day-to-day development purposes, it is recommended
not to install over the OS vendor provided binaries. Instead simply
run libvirt directly from the source tree. For example to run
a privileged libvirtd instance
</p>
<pre>
$ su -
# service libvirtd stop (or systemctl stop libvirtd.service)
# /home/to/your/checkout/src/libvirtd
</pre>
<p>
It is also possible to run virsh directly from the source tree
using the ./run script (which sets some environment variables):
</p>
<pre>
$ ./run ./tools/virsh ....
</pre>

<h1>Contributing to libvirt</h1>
<p>
This page provides guidance on how to contribute to the
libvirt project
</p>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="skills">Contributions required</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt project is always looking for new contributors to
participate in ongoing activities. While code development is a
major part of the project, assistance is needed in many other
areas including documentation writing, bug triage, testing,
application integration, website / wiki content management,
translation, branding, social media and more. The only
requirement is an interest in virtualization and desire to
help.
</p>
<p>
The following is a non-exhaustive list of areas in which
people can contribute to libvirt. If you have ideas for
other contributions feel free to follow them.
</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Software development</strong>. The core library / daemon (and
thus the bulk of coding) is written in C, but there are
language bindings written in Python, Perl, Java, Ruby,
Php, OCaml and Go. There are also higher level wrappers
mapping libvirt into other object frameworks, such GLib,
CIM and SNMP. For those interested in working on the core parts of
libvirt, the <a href="hacking.html">contributor guidelines</a> are
mandatory reading</li>
<li><strong>Translation</strong>. All the libvirt modules aim to support
translations where appropriate. All translation is
handling outside of the normal libvirt review process,
using the <a href="http://fedora.zanata.org">Fedora
instance</a> of the Zanata tool. Thus people wishing
to contribute to translation should join the Fedora
translation team</li>
<li><strong>Documentation</strong>. There are docbook guides on various
aspects of libvirt, particularly application development
guides for the C library and Python, and a virsh command
reference. There is thus scope for work by people who are
familiar with using or developing against libvirt, to
write further content for these guides. There is also a
need for people to review existing content for copy editing
and identifying gaps in the docs</li>
<li><strong>Website / wiki curation</strong>. The bulk of the website is
maintained in the primary GIT repository, while the wiki
site uses mediawiki. In both cases there is a need for
people to both write new content and curate existing
content to identify outdated information, improve its
organization and target gaps.</li>
<li><strong>Testing</strong>. There are a number of tests suites that can run
automated tests against libvirt. The coverage of the tests
is never complete, so there is a need for people to create
new test suites and / or provide environments to actually
run the tests in a variety of deployment scenarios.</li>
<li><strong>Code analysis</strong>. The libvirt project has access to the coverity
tool to run static analysis against the codebase, however,
there are other types of code analysis that can be useful.
In particular fuzzing of the inputs can be very effective
at identifying problematic edge cases.</li>
<li><strong>Security handling</strong>. Downstream (operating system) vendors
who distribute libvirt may wish to propose a person to
be part of the security handling team, to get early access
to information about forthcoming vulnerability fixes.</li>
<li><strong>Evangalism</strong>. Work done by the project is of no benefit
unless the (potential) user community knows that it
exists. Thus it is critically important to the health
and future growth of the project, that there are a people
who evangalise the work created by the project. This can
take many forms, writing blog posts (about usage of features,
personal user experiences, areas for future work, and more),
syndicating docs and blogs via social media, giving user
group and/or conference talks about libvirt.</li>
<li><strong>User assistance</strong>. Since documentation
is never perfect, there are inevitably cases where users
will struggle to attain a deployment goal they have, or
run into trouble with managing an existing deployment.
While some users may be able to contact a software vendor
to obtain support, it is common to rely on community help
forums such as <a href="contact.html#email">libvirt users
mailing list</a>, or sites such as
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/libvirt">stackoverflow.</a>
People who are familiar with libvirt and have ability &amp;
desire to help other users are encouraged to participate in
these help forums.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="comms">Communication</a></h2>
<p>
For full details on contacting other project contributors
read the <a href="contact.html">contact</a> page. There
are two main channels that libvirt uses for communication
between contributors:
</p>
<h3><a id="email">Mailing lists</a></h3>
<p>
The project has a number of
<a href="contact.html#email">mailing lists</a> for
general communication between contributors.
In general any design discussions and review
of contributions will take place on the mailing
lists, so it is important for all contributors
to follow the traffic.
</p>
<h3><a id="irc">Instant messaging / chat</a></h3>
<p>
Contributors to libvirt are encouraged to join the
<a href="contact.html#irc">IRC channel</a> used by
the project, where they can have live conversations
with others members.
</p>
<h2><a id="outreach">Student / outreach coding programs</a></h2>
<p>
Since 2016, the libvirt project directly participates as an
organization in the <a href="http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Google_Summer_of_Code_Ideas">Google Summer of Code program</a>. Prior to
this the project had a number of students in the program
via a joint application with the QEMU project. People are
encouraged to look at both the libvirt and QEMU programs
to identify potentially interesting projects to work on.

<h1>C# API bindings</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="description">Description</a></h2>
<p>
The C# libvirt bindings are a class library. They use a Microsoft
Visual Studio project architecture, and have been tested with Windows
.NET, and Mono, on both Linux and Windows.
</p>
<p>
Compiling them produces <b>LibvirtBindings.dll</b>, which can
be added as a .NET reference to any .NET project needing access
to libvirt.
</p>
<h2><a id="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
<p>
These bindings depend upon the libvirt libraries being installed.
</p>
<p>
In the .NET case, this is <b>libvirt-0.dll</b>, produced from
compiling libvirt for windows.

<!-- 2010-10-19 JC: Commented out until we have C# tarballs to download
<h2><a id="getting">Getting them</a></h2>
<p>
The latest versions of the libvirt C# bindings can be downloaded from:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/csharp/">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>
<li><a href="https://libvirt.org/sources/csharp/">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li>
</ul>
-->
<h2><a id="git">GIT source repository</a></h2>
<p>
The C# bindings source code is maintained in a <a
href="http://git-scm.com/">git</a> repository available on
<a href="https://libvirt.org/git/">libvirt.org</a>:
</p>
<pre>
git clone https://libvirt.org/git/libvirt-csharp.git
</pre>
<p>
They can also be browsed online:

<h2><a id="usage">Usage</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt C# bindings class library exposes the <b>Libvirt</b>
namespace. This namespace exposes all of the needed types (enum,
struct), plus many classes exposing the libvirt API methods.
</p>
<p>
These classes are grouped into functional areas, with each class
exposing libvirt methods related to that area.
</p>
<p>
For example, the libvirt methods related to connections, such as
<b>virConnectOpenAuth</b> and <b>virConnectNumOfDomains</b>, are in
the <b>Connect</b> class.
<br />
They are accessed as <b>Connect.OpenAuth</b>, and
<b>Connect.NumOfDomains</b> respectively.
</p>
<p>
In the same manner, the other class name mappings are:
</p>
<table class="top_table">
<tr><th>Name of libvirt function</th><th>C# class name</th></tr>
<tr><td>virDomain...</td><td>Domain</td></tr>
<tr><td>virEvent...</td><td>Event</td></tr>
<tr><td>virInterface...</td><td>Interface</td></tr>
<tr><td>virNetwork...</td><td>Network</td></tr>
<tr><td>virNode...</td><td>Node</td></tr>
<tr><td>virSecret...</td><td>Secret</td></tr>
<tr><td>virStoragePool...</td><td>StoragePool</td></tr>
<tr><td>virStorageVolume...</td><td>StorageVolume</td></tr>
<tr><td>virStream...</td><td>Stream</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
There are some additions as well:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
There is a class named <b>Library</b>, exposing the
<b>virGetVersion</b> and <b>virInitialize</b> methods
</li>
<li>
There is a class named <b>Errors</b>, exposing the error
related methods. For example, <b>virSetErrorFunc</b> and
<b>virConnResetLastError</b>.
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="authors">Authors</a></h2>
<p>
The C# bindings are the work of Arnaud Champion
&lt;<a href="mailto:arnaud.champion AT devatom.fr">arnaud.champion AT devatom.fr</a>&gt;,
based upon the previous work of Jaromír Červenka.
</p>
<h2><a id="notes">Test Configuration</a></h2>
<p>
Testing is performed using the following configurations:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows 7 (64 bits) / .Net 4</li>
<li>Windows 7 (64 bits) / Mono 2.6.7 (compiled in 32 bits)</li>
<li>Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 / Mono 2.6.7 (compiled in 64 bits)</li>

Libvirt Daemons
===============
.. contents::
A libvirt deployment for accessing one of the stateful drivers will require
one or more daemons to be deployed on the virtualization host. There are a
number of ways the daemons can be configured which will be outlined in this
page.
Architectural options
=====================
Monolithic vs modular daemons
-----------------------------
Traditionally libvirt provided a single monolithic daemon called ``libvirtd``
which exposed support for all the stateful drivers, both primary hypervisor
drivers and secondary supporting drivers. It also enables secure remote access
from clients running off host.
Work is underway for the monolithic daemon to be replaced by a new set of
modular daemons ``virt${DRIVER}d``, each one servicing a single stateful
driver. A further ``virtproxyd`` daemon will provide secure remote access, as
well as backcompatibility for clients using the UNIX socket path of the
monolithic daemon.
The change to modular daemons should not affect API functionality used by
management applications. It will, however, have an impact on host provisioning
tools since there are new systemd services and configuration files to be
managed.
Currently both monolithic and modular daemons are built by default, but the RPC
client still prefers connecting to the monolithic daemon. It is intended to
switch the RPC client to prefer the modular daemons in the near future. At
least 1 year after this switch (but not more than 2 years), the monolithic
daemon will be deleted entirely.
Operating modes
---------------
The libvirt daemons, whether monolithic or modular, can often operate in two
modes
* *System mode* - the daemon is running as the root user account, enabling
access to its full range of functionality. A read-write connection to
daemons in system mode **typically implies privileges equivalent to having
a root shell**. Suitable `authentication mechanisms <auth.html>`__ **must
be enabled** to secure it against untrustworthy clients/users.
* *Session mode* - the daemon is running as any non-root user account,
providing access to a more restricted range of functionality. Only client
apps/users running under **the same UID are permitted to connect**, thus a
connection does not imply any elevation of privileges.
Not all drivers support session mode and as such the corresponding
modular daemon may not support running in this mode
Monolithic driver daemon
========================
The monolithic daemon is known as ``libvirtd`` and has historically been the
default in libvirt. It is configured via the file ``/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``
Monolithic sockets
------------------
When running in system mode, ``libvirtd`` exposes three UNIX domain sockets, and
optionally, one or two TCP sockets:
* ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock`` - the primary socket for accessing libvirt
APIs, with full read-write privileges. A connection to this socket gives the
client privileges that are equivalent to having a root shell. This is the
socket that most management applications connect to by default.
* ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro`` - the secondary socket for accessing
libvirt APIs, with limited read-only privileges. A connection to this socket
gives the ability to query the existence of objects and monitor some aspects
of their operation. This is the socket that most management applications
connect to when requesting read only mode. Typically this is what a
monitoring app would use.
* ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-admin-sock`` - the administrative socket for
controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers it is
running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of the
daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
* ``TCP 16509`` - the non-TLS socket for remotely accessing the libvirt APIs,
with full read-write privileges. A connection to this socket gives the
client privileges that are equivalent to having a root shell. Since it does
not use TLS, an `authentication mechanism <auth.html>`__ that provides
encryption must be used. Only the GSSAPI/Kerberos mechanism is capable of
satisfying this requirement. In general applications should not use this
socket except for debugging in a development/test environment.
* ``TCP 16514`` - the TLS socket for remotely accessing the libvirt APIs,
with full read-write privileges. A connection to this socket gives the
client privileges that are equivalent to having a root shell. Access control
can be enforced either through validation of `x509 certificates
<tlscerts.html>`__, and/or by enabling an `authentication mechanism
<auth.html>`__.
NB, some distros will use ``/run`` instead of ``/var/run``.
When running in session mode, ``libvirtd`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets:
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/libvirt-sock`` - the primary socket for accessing
libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. A connection to this socket
does not alter the privileges that the client already has. This is the
socket that most management applications connect to by default.
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/libvirt-admin-sock`` - the administrative socket
for controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers it is
running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of the
daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
Notice that the session mode does not have a separate read-only socket. Since
the clients must be running as the same user as the daemon itself, there is
not any security benefit from attempting to enforce a read-only mode.
``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` commonly points to a per-user private location on tmpfs,
such as ``/run/user/$UID``.
Monolithic Systemd Integration
------------------------------
When the ``libvirtd`` daemon is managed by ``systemd`` a number of desirable
features are available, most notably socket activation.
Libvirt ships a number of unit files for controlling ``libvirtd``:
* ``libvirtd.service`` - the main unit file for launching the ``libvirtd``
daemon in system mode. The command line arguments passed can be configured by
editing ``/etc/sysconfig/libvirtd``. This is typically only needed to control
the use of the auto shutdown timeout value. It is recommended that this
service unit be configured to start on boot. This is because various
libvirt drivers support autostart of their objects. If it is known that
autostart is not required, this unit can be left to start on demand.
* ``libvirtd.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the main read-write
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock``. This socket is recommended to
be started on boot by default.
* ``libvirtd-ro.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the main read-only
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro``. This socket is recommended
to be started on boot by default.
* ``libvirtd-admin.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the administrative
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-admin-sock``. This socket is
recommended to be started on boot by default.
* ``libvirtd-tcp.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the TCP 16509 port
for non-TLS remote access. This socket should not be configured to start on
boot until the administrator has configured a suitable authentication
mechanism.
* ``libvirtd-tls.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the TCP 16509 port
for TLS remote access. This socket should not be configured to start on boot
until the administrator has deployed x509 certificates and optionally
configured a suitable authentication mechanism.
NB, some distros will use ``/etc/default`` instead of ``/etc/sysconfig``.
The socket unit files are newly introduced in 5.6.0. On newly installed hosts
the UNIX socket units should be enabled by default. When upgrading an existing
host from a previous version of libvirt, the socket unit files will be masked
if ``libvirtd`` is currently configured to use the ``--listen`` argument, since
the ``--listen`` argument is mutually exclusive with use of socket activation.
When systemd socket activation is used a number of configuration settings in
``libvirtd.conf`` are no longer honoured. Instead these settings must be
controlled via the system unit files
* ``listen_tcp`` - TCP socket usage is enabled by starting the
``libvirtd-tcp.socket`` unit file.
* ``listen_tls`` - TLS socket usage is enabled by starting the
``libvirtd-tls.socket`` unit file.
* ``tcp_port`` - Port for the non-TLS TCP socket, controlled via the
``ListenStream`` parameter in the ``libvirtd-tcp.socket`` unit file.
* ``tls_port`` - Port for the TLS TCP socket, controlled via the
``ListenStream`` parameter in the ``libvirtd-tls.socket`` unit file.
* ``listen_addr`` - IP address to listen on, independently controlled via the
``ListenStream`` parameter in the ``libvirtd-tcp.socket`` or
``libvirtd-tls.socket`` unit files.
* ``unix_sock_group`` - UNIX socket group owner, controlled via the
``SocketGroup`` parameter in the ``libvirtd.socket`` and
``libvirtd-ro.socket`` unit files
* ``unix_sock_ro_perms`` - read-only UNIX socket permissions, controlled via the
``SocketMode`` parameter in the ``libvirtd-ro.socket`` unit file
* ``unix_sock_rw_perms`` - read-write UNIX socket permissions, controlled via
the ``SocketMode`` parameter in the ``libvirtd.socket`` unit file
* ``unix_sock_admin_perms`` - admin UNIX socket permissions, controlled via the
``SocketMode`` parameter in the ``libvirtd-admin.socket`` unit file
* ``unix_sock_dir`` - directory in which all UNIX sockets are created
independently controlled via the ``ListenStream`` parameter in any of the
``libvirtd.socket``, ``libvirtd-ro.socket`` and ``libvirtd-admin.socket`` unit
files.
Systemd releases prior to version 227 lacked support for passing the activation
socket unit names into the service. When using these old versions, the
``tcp_port``, ``tls_port`` and ``unix_sock_dir`` settings in ``libvirtd.conf``
must be changed in lock-step with the equivalent settings in the unit files to
ensure that ``libvirtd`` can identify the sockets.
Modular driver daemons
======================
The modular daemons are named after the driver which they are running, with
the pattern ``virt${DRIVER}d`` and will become the default in future libvirt.
They are configured via the files ``/etc/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d.conf``
The following modular daemons currently exist for hypervisor drivers
* ``virtqemud`` - the QEMU management daemon, for running virtual machines
on UNIX platforms, optionally with KVM acceleration, in either system or
session mode
* ``virtxend`` - the Xen management daemon, for running virtual machines
on the Xen hypervisor, in system mode only
* ``virtlxcd`` - the Linux Container management daemon, for running LXC guests
in system mode only
* ``virtbhyved`` - the BHyve management daemon, for running virtual machines
on FreeBSD with the BHyve hypervisor, in system mode.
* ``virtvboxd`` - the VirtualBox management daemon, for running virtual machines
on UNIX platforms.
The additional modular daemons service secondary drivers
* ``virtinterfaced`` - the host NIC management daemon, in system mode only
* ``virtnetworkd`` - the virtual network management daemon, in system mode only
* ``virtnodedevd`` - the host physical device management daemon, in system mode
only
* ``virtnwfilterd`` - the host firewall management daemon, in system mode only
* ``virtsecretd`` - the host secret management daemon, in system or session mode
* ``virtstoraged`` - the host storage management daemon, in system or session
mode
Modular Sockets
---------------
When running in system mode, ``virt${DRIVER}d`` exposes three UNIX domain
sockets:
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-sock`` - the primary socket for accessing
libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. For many of the daemons, a
connection to this socket gives the client privileges that are equivalent to
having a root shell. This is the socket that most management applications
connect to by default.
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-sock-ro`` - the secondary socket for
accessing libvirt APIs, with limited read-only privileges. A connection to
this socket gives the ability to query the existence of objects and monitor
some aspects of their operation. This is the socket that most management
applications connect to when requesting read only mode. Typically this is
what a monitoring app would use.
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-admin-sock`` - the administrative socket for
controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers it is
running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of the
daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
NB, some distros will use ``/run`` instead of ``/var/run``.
When running in session mode, ``virt${DRIVER}d`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets:
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-sock`` - the primary socket for
accessing libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. A connection to this
socket does not alter the privileges that the client already has. This is the
socket that most management applications connect to by default.
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-admin-sock`` - the administrative
socket for controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers
it is running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of
the daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
Notice that the session mode does not have a separate read-only socket. Since
the clients must be running as the same user as the daemon itself, there is
not any security benefit from attempting to enforce a read-only mode.
``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` commonly points to a per-user private location on tmpfs,
such as ``/run/user/$UID``.

recommended to be started on boot by default.
* ``virt${DRIVER}d-ro.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the main
read-only UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-sock-ro``. This
socket is recommended to be started on boot by default.
* ``virt${DRIVER}d-admin.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the
administrative UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/virt${DRIVER}d-admin-sock``.
This socket is recommended to be started on boot by default.
NB, some distros will use ``/etc/default`` instead of ``/etc/sysconfig``.

* ``unix_sock_rw_perms`` - read-write UNIX socket permissions, controlled via

* ``unix_sock_admin_perms`` - admin UNIX socket permissions, controlled via the

* ``unix_sock_dir`` - directory in which all UNIX sockets are created
independently controlled via the ``ListenStream`` parameter in any of the
``virt${DRIVER}d.socket``, ``virt${DRIVER}d-ro.socket`` and
``virt${DRIVER}d-admin.socket`` unit files.
Systemd releases prior to version 227 lacked support for passing the activation
socket unit names into the service. When using these old versions, the
``unix_sock_dir`` setting in ``virt${DRIVER}d.conf`` must be changed in
lock-step with the equivalent setting in the unit files to ensure that
``virt${DRIVER}d`` can identify the sockets.
Switching to modular daemons
----------------------------
If a host is currently set to use the monolithic ``libvirtd`` daemon and needs
to be migrated to the monolithic daemons a number of services need to be
changed. The steps below outline the process on hosts using the systemd init
service.
While it is technically possible to do this while virtual machines are running,
it is recommended that virtual machines be stopped or live migrated to a new
host first.
#. Stop the current monolithic daemon and its socket units
::
$ systemctl stop libvirtd.service
$ systemctl stop libvirtd{,-ro,-admin,-tcp,-tls}.socket
#. Disable future start of the monolithic daemon
::
$ systemctl disable libvirtd.service
$ systemctl disable libvirtd{,-ro,-admin,-tcp,-tls}.socket
For stronger protection it is valid to use ``mask`` instead of ``disable``
too.
#. Enable the new daemons for the particular virtualizationd driver desired,
and any of the secondary drivers to accompany it. The following example
enables the QEMU driver and all the secondary drivers:
::

systemctl unmask virt${drv}d{,-ro,-admin}.socket
systemctl enable virt${drv}d.service
systemctl enable virt${drv}d{,-ro,-admin}.socket
done
#. Start the sockets for the same set of daemons. There is no need to start the
services as they will get started when the first socket connection is
established
::
$ for drv in qemu network nodedev nwfilter secret storage
do
systemctl start virt${drv}d{,-ro,-admin}.socket
done
#. If connections from remote hosts need to be supported the proxy daemon
must be enabled and started
::
$ systemctl unmask virtproxyd.service
$ systemctl unmask virtproxyd{,-ro,-admin}.socket
$ systemctl enable virtproxyd.service
$ systemctl enable virtproxyd{,-ro,-admin}.socket
$ systemctl start virtproxyd{,-ro,-admin}.socket
The UNIX sockets allow for remote access using SSH tunneling. If ``libvirtd``
had TCP or TLS sockets configured, those should be started too
::
$ systemctl unmask virtproxyd-tls.socket
$ systemctl enable virtproxyd-tls.socket
$ systemctl start virtproxyd-tls.socket
Proxy daemon
============
The monolithic daemon is known as ``libvirtd`` and has historically been the
default in libvirt. It is configured via the file ``/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``
Proxy sockets
-------------
When running in system mode, ``virtproxyd`` exposes three UNIX domain sockets,
and optionally, one or two TCP sockets. These sockets are identical to those
provided by the traditional ``libvirtd`` so refer to earlier documentation in
this page.
When running in session mode, ``virtproxyd`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets,
which are again identical to those provided by ``libvirtd``.
Proxy Systemd Integration
-------------------------
When the ``virtproxyd`` daemon is managed by ``systemd`` a number of desirable
features are available, most notably socket activation.
Libvirt ships a number of unit files for controlling ``virtproxyd``:
* ``virtproxyd.service`` - the main unit file for launching the ``virtproxyd``
daemon in system mode. The command line arguments passed can be configured by
editing ``/etc/sysconfig/virtproxyd``. This is typically only needed to
control the use of the auto shutdown timeout value.
* ``virtproxyd.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the main read-write
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock``. This socket is recommended to
be started on boot by default.
* ``virtproxyd-ro.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the main read-only
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro``. This socket is recommended
to be started on boot by default.
* ``virtproxyd-admin.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the
administrative UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-admin-sock``. This
socket is recommended to be started on boot by default.
* ``virtproxyd-tcp.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the TCP 16509 port
for non-TLS remote access. This socket should not be configured to start on
boot until the administrator has configured a suitable authentication
mechanism.
* ``virtproxyd-tls.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the TCP 16509 port
for TLS remote access. This socket should not be configured to start on boot
until the administrator has deployed x509 certificates and optionally
configured a suitable authentication mechanism.
NB, some distros will use ``/etc/default`` instead of ``/etc/sysconfig``.
The socket unit files are newly introduced in 5.6.0. On newly installed hosts
the UNIX socket units should be enabled by default. When upgrading an existing
host from a previous version of libvirt, the socket unit files will be masked
if ``virtproxyd`` is currently configured to use the ``--listen`` argument, since
the ``--listen`` argument is mutually exclusive with use of socket activation.
When systemd socket activation is used a number of configuration settings in
``virtproxyd.conf`` are no longer honoured. Instead these settings must be
controlled via the system unit files. Refer to the earlier documentation on
the ``libvirtd`` service socket configuration for further information.
Logging daemon
==============
The ``virtlogd`` daemon provides a service for managing log files associated
with QEMU virtual machines. The QEMU process is given one or more pipes, the
other end of which are owned by the ``virtlogd`` daemon. It will then write
data on those pipes to log files, while enforcing a maximum file size and
performing log rollover at the size limit.
Since the daemon holds open anoymous pipe file descriptors, it must never be
stopped while any QEMU virtual machines are running. To enable software updates
to be applied, the daemon is capable of re-executing itself while keeping all
file descriptors open. This can be triggered by sending the daemon ``SIGUSR1``
Logging Sockets
---------------
When running in system mode, ``virtlogd`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets:
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock`` - the primary socket for accessing
libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. Access to the socket is
restricted to the root user.
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-admin-sock`` - the administrative socket for
controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers it is
running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of the
daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
NB, some distros will use ``/run`` instead of ``/var/run``.
When running in session mode, ``virtlogd`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets:
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtlogd-sock`` - the primary socket for
accessing libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. Access to the
socket is restricted to the unprivileged user running the daemon.
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtlogd-admin-sock`` - the administrative
socket for controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers
it is running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of
the daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` commonly points to a per-user private location on tmpfs,
such as ``/run/user/$UID``.
Logging Systemd Integration
---------------------------
When the ``virtlogd`` daemon is managed by ``systemd`` a number of desirable
features are available, most notably socket activation.
Libvirt ships a number of unit files for controlling ``virtlogd``:
* ``virtlogd.service`` - the main unit file for launching the
``virtlogd`` daemon in system mode. The command line arguments passed
can be configured by editing ``/etc/sysconfig/virtlogd``. This is
typically only needed to control the use of the auto shutdown timeout value.
* ``virtlogd.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the main read-write
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock``. This socket is recommended
to be started on boot by default.
* ``virtlogd-admin.socket`` - the unit file corresponding to the administrative
UNIX socket ``/var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-admin-sock``. This socket is
recommended to be started on boot by default.
NB, some distros will use ``/etc/default`` instead of ``/etc/sysconfig``.
When systemd socket activation is used a number of configuration settings in
``virtlogd.conf`` are no longer honoured. Instead these settings must be
controlled via the system unit files:
* ``unix_sock_group`` - UNIX socket group owner, controlled via the
``SocketGroup`` parameter in the ``virtlogd.socket`` and
``virtlogd-ro.socket`` unit files
* ``unix_sock_ro_perms`` - read-only UNIX socket permissions, controlled via the
``SocketMode`` parameter in the ``virtlogd-ro.socket`` unit file
* ``unix_sock_rw_perms`` - read-write UNIX socket permissions, controlled via
the ``SocketMode`` parameter in the ``virtlogd.socket`` unit file
* ``unix_sock_admin_perms`` - admin UNIX socket permissions, controlled via the
``SocketMode`` parameter in the ``virtlogd-admin.socket`` unit file
* ``unix_sock_dir`` - directory in which all UNIX sockets are created
independently controlled via the ``ListenStream`` parameter in any of the
``virtlogd.socket`` and ``virtlogd-admin.socket`` unit files.
Systemd releases prior to version 227 lacked support for passing the activation
socket unit names into the service. When using these old versions, the
``unix_sock_dir`` setting in ``virtlogd.conf`` must be changed in
lock-step with the equivalent setting in the unit files to ensure that
``virtlogd`` can identify the sockets.
Locking daemon
==============
The ``virtlockd`` daemon provides a service for holding locks against file
images and devices serving as backing storage for virtual disks. The locks
will be held for as long as there is a QEMU process running with the disk
open.
To ensure continuity of locking, the daemon holds open anoymous file
descriptors, it must never be stopped while any QEMU virtual machines are
running. To enable software updates to be applied, the daemon is capable of
re-executing itself while keeping all file descriptors open. This can be
triggered by sending the daemon ``SIGUSR1``
Locking Sockets
---------------
When running in system mode, ``virtlockd`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets:
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virtlockd-sock`` - the primary socket for accessing
libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. Access to the socket is
restricted to the root user.
* ``/var/run/libvirt/virtlockd-admin-sock`` - the administrative socket for
controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers it is
running). This can be used to dynamically reconfigure some aspects of the
daemon and monitor/control connected clients.
NB, some distros will use ``/run`` instead of ``/var/run``.
When running in session mode, ``virtlockd`` exposes two UNIX domain sockets:
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtlockd-sock`` - the primary socket for
accessing libvirt APIs, with full read-write privileges. Access to the
socket is restricted to the unprivileged user running the daemon.
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtlockd-admin-sock`` - the administrative
socket for controlling operation of the daemon itself (as opposed to drivers

<h1>D-Bus API bindings</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="description">Description</a></h2>
<p>
libvirt-dbus wraps libvirt API to provide a high-level object-oriented
API better suited for dbus-based applications.
</p>
<h2><a id="git">GIT source repository</a></h2>
<p>
The D-Bus bindings source code is maintained in a
<a href="https://git-scm.com/">git</a> repository available on
<a href="https://libvirt.org/git/">libvirt.org</a>:
</p>
<pre>
git clone https://libvirt.org/git/libvirt-dbus.git
</pre>
<p>
They can also be browsed online:

</pre>
<h2><a id="usage">Usage</a></h2>
<p>
libvirt-dbus exports libvirt API using D-Bus objects with methods and
properties described by interfaces. Currently only local connection
to libvirt is exported and the list of supported drivers depends
on the type of the bus connection (session or system).
</p>
<p>
The name of the libvirt-dbus service is <code>org.libvirt</code>.
libvirt-dbus distributes an interface XML descriptions which can be
usually found at <code>/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/</code>.
</p>
<p>
By default unprivileged user has access only to the session D-Bus
connection. In order to allow specific user "foo" to access the system
D-Bus connection you need to create a file
<code>/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.libvirt.conf</code> that contains:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"&gt;
&lt;busconfig&gt;
&lt;policy user="foo"&gt;
&lt;allow send_destination="org.libvirt"/&gt;
&lt;/policy&gt;
&lt;/busconfig&gt;
</pre>
<p>
To get a list of supported drivers for the specific bus connection
you can run these commands (not all drivers may be available on
the host):
</p>
<pre>
gdbus introspect --xml --session --dest org.libvirt --object-path /org/libvirt
gdbus introspect --xml --system --dest org.libvirt --object-path /org/libvirt
</pre>
<p>
Every object is introspectable so you can get a list of available
interfaces with methods, signals and properties running this command:
</p>
<pre>
gdbus introspect --xml --system --dest org.libvirt --object-path /org/libvirt/QEMU
</pre>
<p>
To get a list of domains for specific connection driver you can run
this command:
</p>
<pre>
gdbus call --system --dest org.libvirt --object-path /org/libvirt/QEMU \
--method org.libvirt.Connect.ListDomains 0
</pre>

<h2>Primary download site</h2>
<p>
Most modules have releases made available for download on the project
site via HTTPS. Some modules are instead made available at alternative
locations, for example, the Perl binding is made available only on CPAN.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://libvirt.org/sources/">libvirt.org HTTPS server</a></li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="schedule">Primary release schedule</a></h2>
<p>
The core libvirt module follows a time based plan, with releases made
once a month on the 1st of each month give or take a few days. The only
exception is at the start of the year where there are two 6 weeks gaps
(first release in the middle of Jan, then skip the Feb release), giving
a total of 11 releases a year. The Python and Perl modules will aim to
release at the same time as the core libvirt module. Other modules have
independent ad-hoc releases with no fixed time schedule.
</p>
<h2><a id="numbering">Release numbering</a></h2>
<p>
Since libvirt 2.0.0, a time based version numbering rule
is applied to the core library releases. As such, the changes
in version number have do not have any implications with respect
to the scope of features or bugfixes included, the stability of
the code, or the API / ABI compatibility (libvirt API / ABI is
guaranteed stable forever). The rules applied for changing the
libvirt version number are:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>major</code></dt>
<dd>incremented by 1 for the first release of the year (the
Jan 15th release)</dd>
<dt><code>minor</code></dt>
<dd>reset to 0 with every major increment, otherwise incremented by 1
for each monthly release from git master</dd>
<dt><code>micro</code></dt>
<dd>always 0 for releases from git master, incremented by 1
for each stable maintenance release</dd>
</dl>
<p>
Prior to 2.0.0, the major/minor numbers were incremented
fairly arbitrarily, and maintenance releases appended a
fourth digit. The language bindings will aim to use the
same version number as the most recent core library API
they support. The other modules have their own distinct
release numbering sequence, though they generally aim
to follow the above rules for incrementing major/minor/micro
digits.
</p>
<h2><a id="maintenance">Maintenance releases</a></h2>
<p>
In the git repository are several stable maintenance branches
for the core library, matching the
pattern <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>-maint</code>;
these branches are forked off the corresponding
<code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.0</code> formal
release, and may have further releases of the
form <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i></code>.
These maintenance branches should only contain bug fixes, and no
new features, backported from the master branch, and are
supported as long as at least one downstream distribution
expresses interest in a given branch. These maintenance
branches are considered during CVE analysis. In contrast
to the primary releases which are made once a month, there
is no formal schedule for the maintenance releases, which
are made whenever there is a need to make available key
bugfixes to downstream consumers. The language bindings
and other modules generally do not provide stable branch
releases.
</p>
<p>
For more details about contents of maintenance releases, see
<a href="http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Maintenance_Releases">the
wiki page</a>.
</p>
<h2><a id="git">GIT source repository</a></h2>
<p>
All modules maintained by the libvirt project have their primary
source available in the <a href="https://libvirt.org/git/">project GIT server</a>.
Each module can be cloned anonymously using:
</p>
<pre>
git clone https://libvirt.org/git/[module name].git</pre>
<p>
The <code>git://</code> protocol is also available if desired, but
<code>https://</code> is encouraged, since it is more reliable when
faced with strict firewalls.
</p>
<pre>
git clone git://libvirt.org/[module name].git</pre>
<p>
In addition to this primary repository, there are the following read-only git
repositories which mirror the master one. Note that we currently do not
use the full set of features on these mirrors (e.g. pull requests on
GitHub, so please don't use them). All patch review and discussion only
occurs on the <a href="contact.html">libvir-list</a> mailing list. Also
note that some repositories listed below allow HTTP checkouts too.

<h1>Bhyve driver</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
Bhyve is a FreeBSD hypervisor. It first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0. However, it's
recommended to keep tracking FreeBSD 10-STABLE to make sure all new features
of bhyve are supported.
In order to enable bhyve on your FreeBSD host, you'll need to load the <code>vmm</code>
kernel module. Additionally, <code>if_tap</code> and <code>if_bridge</code> modules
should be loaded for networking support. Also, <span class="since">since 3.2.0</span> the
<code>virt-host-validate(1)</code> supports the bhyve host validation and could be
used like this:
</p>
<pre>
$ virt-host-validate bhyve
BHYVE: Checking for vmm module : PASS
BHYVE: Checking for if_tap module : PASS
BHYVE: Checking for if_bridge module : PASS
BHYVE: Checking for nmdm module : PASS
$
</pre>
<p>
Additional information on bhyve could be obtained on <a href="http://bhyve.org/">bhyve.org</a>.
</p>
<h2><a id="uri">Connections to the Bhyve driver</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt bhyve driver is a single-instance privileged driver. Some sample
connection URIs are:
</p>
<pre>
bhyve:///system (local access)
bhyve+unix:///system (local access)
bhyve+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
<h2><a id="exconfig">Example guest domain XML configurations</a></h2>
<h3>Example config</h3>
<p>
The bhyve driver in libvirt is in its early stage and under active development. So it supports
only limited number of features bhyve provides.
</p>
<p>
Note: in older libvirt versions, only a single network device and a single
disk device were supported per-domain. However,
<span class="since">since 1.2.6</span> the libvirt bhyve driver supports
up to 31 PCI devices.
</p>
<p>
Note: the Bhyve driver in libvirt will boot whichever device is first. If you
want to install from CD, put the CD device first. If not, put the root HDD
first.
</p>
<p>
Note: Only the SATA bus is supported. Only <code>cdrom</code>- and
<code>disk</code>-type disks are supported.

<p>Please refer to the <a href="#uefi">UEFI</a> section for a more detailed explanation.</p>
<h2><a id="usage">Guest usage / management</a></h2>
<h3><a id="console">Connecting to a guest console</a></h3>
<p>
Guest console connection is supported through the <code>nmdm</code> device. It could be enabled by adding
the following to the domain XML (<span class="since">Since 1.2.4</span>):
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;serial type="nmdm"&gt;
&lt;source master="/dev/nmdm0A" slave="/dev/nmdm0B"/&gt;
&lt;/serial&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
...</pre>
<p>Make sure to load the <code>nmdm</code> kernel module if you plan to use that.</p>
<p>
Then <code>virsh console</code> command can be used to connect to the text console
of a guest.</p>
<p><b>NB:</b> Some versions of bhyve have a bug that prevents guests from booting
until the console is opened by a client. This bug was fixed in FreeBSD
<a href="http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/262884">r262884</a>. If
an older version is used, one either has to open a console manually with <code>virsh console</code>
to let a guest boot or start a guest using:</p>
<pre>start --console domname</pre>
<p><b>NB:</b> A bootloader configured to require user interaction will prevent
the domain from starting (and thus <code>virsh console</code> or <code>start
--console</code> from functioning) until the user interacts with it manually on
the VM host. Because users typically do not have access to the VM host,
interactive bootloaders are unsupported by libvirt. <em>However,</em> if you happen to
run into this scenario and also happen to have access to the Bhyve host
machine, you may select a boot option and allow the domain to finish starting
by using an alternative terminal client on the VM host to connect to the
domain-configured null modem device. One example (assuming
<code>/dev/nmdm0B</code> is configured as the slave end of the domain serial
device) is:</p>
<pre>cu -l /dev/nmdm0B</pre>
<h3><a id="xmltonative">Converting from domain XML to Bhyve args</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh domxml-to-native</code> command can preview the actual
<code>bhyve</code> commands that will be executed for a given domain.
It outputs two lines, the first line is a <code>bhyveload</code> command and
the second is a <code>bhyve</code> command.
</p>
<p>Please note that the <code>virsh domxml-to-native</code> doesn't do any
real actions other than printing the command, for example, it doesn't try to
find a proper TAP interface and create it, like what is done when starting
a domain; and always returns <code>tap0</code> for the network interface. So
if you're going to run these commands manually, most likely you might want to
tweak them.</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c "bhyve:///system" domxml-to-native --format bhyve-argv --xml /path/to/bhyve.xml
/usr/sbin/bhyveload -m 214 -d /home/user/vm1.img vm1
/usr/sbin/bhyve -c 2 -m 214 -A -I -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge -s 3:0,virtio-net,tap0,mac=52:54:00:5d:74:e3 -s 2:0,virtio-blk,/home/user/vm1.img -s 1,lpc -l com1,/dev/nmdm0A vm1
</pre>
<h3><a id="zfsvolume">Using ZFS volumes</a></h3>
<p>It's possible to use ZFS volumes as disk devices <span class="since">since 1.2.8</span>.
An example of domain XML device entry for that will look like:</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;disk type='volume' device='disk'&gt;
&lt;source pool='zfspool' volume='vol1'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
...</pre>
<p>Please refer to the <a href="storage.html">Storage documentation</a> for more details on storage
management.</p>
<h3><a id="grubbhyve">Using grub2-bhyve or Alternative Bootloaders</a></h3>
<p>It's possible to boot non-FreeBSD guests by specifying an explicit
bootloader, e.g. <code>grub-bhyve(1)</code>. Arguments to the bootloader may be
specified as well. If the bootloader is <code>grub-bhyve</code> and arguments
are omitted, libvirt will try and infer boot ordering from user-supplied
&lt;boot order='N'&gt; configuration in the domain. Failing that, it will boot
the first disk in the domain (either <code>cdrom</code>- or
<code>disk</code>-type devices). If the disk type is <code>disk</code>, it will
attempt to boot from the first partition in the disk image.</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;bootloader&gt;/usr/local/sbin/grub-bhyve&lt;/bootloader&gt;
&lt;bootloader_args&gt;...&lt;/bootloader_args&gt;
...
</pre>
<p>Caveat: <code>bootloader_args</code> does not support any quoting.
Filenames, etc, must not have spaces or they will be tokenized incorrectly.</p>
<h3><a id="uefi">Using UEFI bootrom, VNC, and USB tablet</a></h3>
<p><span class="since">Since 3.2.0</span>, in addition to <a href="#grubbhyve">grub-bhyve</a>,
non-FreeBSD guests could be also booted using an UEFI boot ROM, provided both guest OS and
installed <code>bhyve(1)</code> version support UEFI. To use that, <code>loader</code>
should be specified in the <code>os</code> section:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='bhyve'&gt;
...
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;hvm&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;loader readonly="yes" type="pflash"&gt;/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd&lt;/loader&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
...
</pre>
<p>This uses the UEFI firmware provided by
the <a href="https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bhyve-firmware/">sysutils/bhyve-firmware</a>
FreeBSD port.</p>
<p>VNC and the tablet input device could be configured this way:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='bhyve'&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
...
&lt;graphics type='vnc' port='5904'&gt;
&lt;listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/&gt;
&lt;/graphics&gt;
&lt;controller type='usb' model='nec-xhci'/&gt;
&lt;input type='tablet' bus='usb'/&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
...
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<p>This way, VNC will be accessible on <code>127.0.0.1:5904</code>.</p>
<p>Please note that the tablet device requires to have a USB controller
of the <code>nec-xhci</code> model. Currently, only a single controller of this
type and a single tablet are supported per domain.</p>
<p><span class="since">Since 3.5.0</span>, it's possible to configure how the video device is exposed
to the guest using the <code>vgaconf</code> attribute:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='bhyve'&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
...
&lt;graphics type='vnc' port='5904'&gt;
&lt;listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/&gt;
&lt;/graphics&gt;
&lt;video&gt;
&lt;driver vgaconf='on'/&gt;
&lt;model type='gop' heads='1' primary='yes'/&gt;
&lt;/video&gt;
...
&lt;/devices&gt;
...
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<p>If not specified, bhyve's default mode for <code>vgaconf</code>
will be used. Please refer to the
<a href="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bhyve&amp;sektion=8&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+12-current">bhyve(8)</a>
manual page and the <a href="https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve">bhyve wiki</a> for more details on using
the <code>vgaconf</code> option.</p>
<p><span class="since">Since 3.7.0</span>, it's possible to use <code>autoport</code>
to let libvirt allocate VNC port automatically (instead of explicitly specifying
it with the <code>port</code> attribute):</p>
<pre>
&lt;graphics type='vnc' autoport='yes'&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a id="clockconfig">Clock configuration</a></h3>
<p>Originally bhyve supported only localtime for RTC. Support for UTC time was introduced in
<a href="http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/284894">r284894</a> for <i>10-STABLE</i> and
in <a href="http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/279225">r279225</a> for <i>-CURRENT</i>.
It's possible to use this in libvirt <span class="since">since 1.2.18</span>, just place the
following to domain XML:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type="bhyve"&gt;
...
&lt;clock offset='utc'/&gt;
...
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<p>Please note that if you run the older bhyve version that doesn't support UTC time, you'll
fail to start a domain. As UTC is used as a default when you do not specify clock settings,
you'll need to explicitly specify 'localtime' in this case:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type="bhyve"&gt;
...
&lt;clock offset='localtime'/&gt;
...
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a id="e1000">e1000 NIC</a></h3>
<p>As of <a href="https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/302504">r302504</a> bhyve
supports Intel e1000 network adapter emulation. It's supported in libvirt
<span class="since">since 3.1.0</span> and could be used as follows:</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
&lt;source bridge='virbr0'/&gt;
&lt;model type='<b>e1000</b>'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;
...
</pre>
<h3><a id="wired">Wiring guest memory</a></h3>
<p><span class="since">Since 4.4.0</span>, it's possible to specify that guest memory should
be wired and cannot be swapped out as follows:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type="bhyve"&gt;
...
&lt;memoryBacking&gt;
&lt;locked/&gt;
&lt;/memoryBacking&gt;
...
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a id="cputopology">CPU topology</a></h3>
<p><span class="since">Since 4.5.0</span>, it's possible to specify guest CPU topology, if bhyve
supports that. Support for specifying guest CPU topology was added to bhyve in
<a href="http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/332298">r332298</a> for <i>-CURRENT</i>.
Example:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type="bhyve"&gt;
...
&lt;cpu&gt;
&lt;topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/&gt;
&lt;/cpu&gt;
...
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a id="bhyvecommand">Pass-through of arbitrary bhyve commands</a></h3>
<p><span class="since">Since 5.1.0</span>, it's possible to pass additional command-line
arguments to the bhyve process when starting the domain using the
<code>&lt;bhyve:commandline&gt;</code> element under <code>domain</code>.
To supply an argument, use the element <code>&lt;bhyve:arg&gt;</code> with
the attribute <code>value</code> set to additional argument to be added.
The arg element may be repeated multiple times. To use this XML addition, it is necessary
to issue an XML namespace request (the special <code>xmlns:<i>name</i></code> attribute)
that pulls in <code>http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/bhyve/1.0</code>;
typically, the namespace is given the name of <code>bhyve</code>.
</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type="bhyve" xmlns:bhyve="http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/bhyve/1.0"&gt;
...
&lt;bhyve:commandline&gt;
&lt;bhyve:arg value='-somebhyvearg'/&gt;
&lt;/bhyve:commandline&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<p>Note that these extensions are for testing and development purposes only.
They are <b>unsupported</b>, using them may result in inconsistent state,
and upgrading either bhyve or libvirtd maybe break behavior of a domain that
was relying on a specific commands pass-through.</p>

<h1>VMware ESX hypervisor driver</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
The libvirt VMware ESX driver can manage VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5/4.x/5.x and
VMware GSX 2.0, also called VMware Server 2.0, and possibly later
versions. <span class="since">Since 0.8.3</span> the driver can also
connect to a VMware vCenter 2.5/4.x/5.x (VPX).
</p>
<h2><a id="project">Project Links</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="http://www.vmware.com/">VMware ESX and GSX</a>
hypervisors
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="prereq">Deployment pre-requisites</a></h2>
<p>
None. Any out-of-the-box installation of VPX/ESX(i)/GSX should work. No
preparations are required on the server side, no libvirtd must be
installed on the ESX server. The driver uses version 2.5 of the remote,
SOAP based
<a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/">
VMware Virtual Infrastructure API</a> (VI API) to communicate with the
ESX server, like the VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client (VI client)
does. Since version 4.0 this API is called
<a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/">
VMware vSphere API</a>.
</p>
<h2><a id="uri">Connections to the VMware ESX driver</a></h2>
<p>
Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
vpx://example-vcenter.com/dc1/srv1 (VPX over HTTPS, select ESX server 'srv1' in datacenter 'dc1')
esx://example-esx.com (ESX over HTTPS)
gsx://example-gsx.com (GSX over HTTPS)
esx://example-esx.com/?transport=http (ESX over HTTP)
esx://example-esx.com/?no_verify=1 (ESX over HTTPS, but doesn't verify the server's SSL certificate)
</pre>
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: In contrast to other drivers, the ESX driver is
a client-side-only driver. It connects to the ESX server using HTTP(S).
Therefore, the <a href="remote.html">remote transport mechanism</a>
provided by the remote driver and libvirtd will not work, and you
cannot use URIs like <code>esx+ssh://example.com</code>.
</p>
<h3><a id="uriformat">URI Format</a></h3>
<p>
URIs have this general form (<code>[...]</code> marks an optional part).
</p>
<pre>
type://[username@]hostname[:port]/[[folder/...]datacenter/[folder/...][cluster/]server][?extraparameters]
</pre>
<p>
The <code>type://</code> is either <code>esx://</code> or
<code>gsx://</code> or <code>vpx://</code> <span class="since">since 0.8.3</span>.
The driver selects the default port depending on the <code>type://</code>.
For <code>esx://</code> and <code>vpx://</code> the default HTTPS port
is 443, for <code>gsx://</code> it is 8333.
If the port parameter is given, it overrides the default port.
</p>
<p>
A <code>vpx://</code> connection is currently restricted to a single
ESX server. This might be relaxed in the future. The path part of the
URI is used to specify the datacenter and the ESX server in it. If the
ESX server is part of a cluster then the cluster has to be specified too.
</p>
<p>
An example: ESX server <code>example-esx.com</code> is managed by
vCenter <code>example-vcenter.com</code> and part of cluster
<code>cluster1</code>. This cluster is part of datacenter <code>dc1</code>.
</p>
<pre>
vpx://example-vcenter.com/dc1/cluster1/example-esx.com
</pre>
<p>
Datacenters and clusters can be organized in folders, those have to be
specified as well. The driver can handle folders
<span class="since">since 0.9.7</span>.
</p>
<pre>
vpx://example-vcenter.com/folder1/dc1/folder2/example-esx.com
</pre>
<h4><a id="extraparams">Extra parameters</a></h4>
<p>
Extra parameters can be added to a URI as part of the query string
(the part following <code>?</code>). A single parameter is formed by a
<code>name=value</code> pair. Multiple parameters are separated by
<code>&amp;</code>.
</p>
<pre>
?<span style="color: #E50000">no_verify=1</span>&amp;<span style="color: #00B200">auto_answer=1</span>&amp;<span style="color: #0000E5">proxy=socks://example-proxy.com:23456</span>
</pre>
<p>
The driver understands the extra parameters shown below.
</p>
<table class="top_table">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Values</th>
<th>Meaning</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>transport</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>http</code> or <code>https</code>
</td>
<td>
Overrides the default HTTPS transport. For <code>esx://</code>
and <code>vpx://</code> the default HTTP port is 80, for
<code>gsx://</code> it is 8222.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>vcenter</code>
</td>
<td>
Hostname of a VMware vCenter or <code>*</code>
</td>
<td>
In order to perform a migration the driver needs to know the
VMware vCenter for the ESX server. If set to <code>*</code>,
the driver connects to the vCenter known to the ESX server.
This parameter in useful when connecting to an ESX server only.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>no_verify</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>0</code> or <code>1</code>
</td>
<td>
If set to 1, this disables libcurl client checks of the server's
SSL certificate. The default value is 0. See the
<a href="#certificates">Certificates for HTTPS</a> section for
details.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>auto_answer</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>0</code> or <code>1</code>
</td>
<td>
If set to 1, the driver answers all
<a href="#questions">questions</a> with the default answer.
If set to 0, questions are reported as errors. The default
value is 0. <span class="since">Since 0.7.5</span>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>proxy</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>[type://]hostname[:port]</code>
</td>
<td>
Allows to specify a proxy for HTTP and HTTPS communication.
<span class="since">Since 0.8.2</span>.
The optional <code>type</code> part may be one of:
<code>http</code>, <code>socks</code>, <code>socks4</code>,
<code>socks4a</code> or <code>socks5</code>. The default is
<code>http</code> and <code>socks</code> is synonymous for
<code>socks5</code>. The optional <code>port</code> allows to
override the default port 1080.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3><a id="auth">Authentication</a></h3>
<p>
In order to perform any useful operation the driver needs to log into
the ESX server. Therefore, only <code>virConnectOpenAuth</code> can be
used to connect to an ESX server, <code>virConnectOpen</code> and
<code>virConnectOpenReadOnly</code> don't work.
To log into an ESX server or vCenter the driver will request
credentials using the callback passed to the
<code>virConnectOpenAuth</code> function. The driver passes the
hostname as challenge parameter to the callback. This enables the
callback to distinguish between requests for ESX server and vCenter.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: During the ongoing driver development, testing
is done using an unrestricted <code>root</code> account. Problems may
occur if you use a restricted account. Detailed testing with restricted
accounts has not been done yet.
</p>
<h3><a id="certificates">Certificates for HTTPS</a></h3>
<p>
By default the ESX driver uses HTTPS to communicate with an ESX server.
Proper HTTPS communication requires correctly configured SSL
certificates. This certificates are different from the ones libvirt
uses for <a href="remote.html">secure communication over TLS</a> to a
libvirtd one a remote server.
</p>
<p>
By default the driver tries to verify the server's SSL certificate
using the CA certificate pool installed on your client computer. With
an out-of-the-box installed ESX server this won't work, because a newly
installed ESX server uses auto-generated self-signed certificates.
Those are singed by a CA certificate that is typically not known to your
client computer and libvirt will report an error like this one:
</p>
<pre>
error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates (60)
</pre>
<p>
Where are two ways to solve this problem:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Use the <code>no_verify=1</code> <a href="#extraparams">extra parameter</a>
to disable server certificate verification.
</li>
<li>
Generate new SSL certificates signed by a CA known to your client
computer and replace the original ones on your ESX server. See the
section <i>Replace a Default Certificate with a CA-Signed Certificate</i>
in the <a href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_esx_server_config.pdf">ESX Configuration Guide</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a id="connproblems">Connection problems</a></h3>
<p>
There are also other causes for connection problems than the
<a href="#certificates">HTTPS certificate</a> related ones.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
As stated before the ESX driver doesn't need the
<a href="remote.html">remote transport mechanism</a>
provided by the remote driver and libvirtd, nor does the ESX driver
support it. Therefore, using an URI including a transport in the
scheme won't work. Only <a href="#uriformat">URIs as described</a>
are supported by the ESX driver. Here's a collection of possible
error messages:
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx+tcp://example.com/
error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'example.com': Connection refused
</pre>
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx+tls://example.com/
error: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory
</pre>
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx+ssh://example.com/
error: cannot recv data: ssh: connect to host example.com port 22: Connection refused
</pre>
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx+ssh://example.com/
error: cannot recv data: Resource temporarily unavailable
</pre>
</li>
<li>
<span class="since">Since 0.7.0</span> libvirt contains the ESX
driver. Earlier versions of libvirt will report a misleading error
about missing certificates when you try to connect to an ESX server.
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx://example.com/
error: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory
</pre>
<p>
Don't let this error message confuse you. Setting up certificates
as described on the <a href="remote.html#Remote_certificates">remote transport mechanism</a> page
does not help, as this is not a certificate related problem.
</p>
<p>
To fix this problem you need to update your libvirt to 0.7.0 or newer.
You may also see this error when you use a libvirt version that
contains the ESX driver but you or your distro disabled the ESX
driver during compilation. <span class="since">Since 0.8.3</span>
the error message has been improved in this case:
</p>
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx://example.com/
error: invalid argument in libvirt was built without the 'esx' driver
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="questions">Questions blocking tasks</a></h2>
<p>
Some methods of the VI API start tasks, for example
<code>PowerOnVM_Task()</code>. Such tasks may be blocked by questions
if the ESX server detects an issue with the domain that requires user
interaction. The ESX driver cannot prompt the user to answer a
question, libvirt doesn't have an API for something like this.
</p>
<p>
The VI API provides the <code>AnswerVM()</code> method to
programmatically answer a questions. So the driver has two options
how to handle such a situation: either answer the questions with the
default answer or report the question as an error and cancel the
blocked task if possible. The
<a href="#uriformat"><code>auto_answer</code></a> query parameter
controls the answering behavior.
</p>
<h2><a id="xmlspecial">Specialties in the domain XML config</a></h2>
<p>
There are several specialties in the domain XML config for ESX domains.
</p>
<h3><a id="restrictions">Restrictions</a></h3>
<p>
There are some restrictions for some values of the domain XML config.
The driver will complain if this restrictions are violated.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Memory size has to be a multiple of 4096
</li>
<li>
Number of virtual CPU has to be 1 or a multiple of 2.
<span class="since">Since 4.10.0</span> any number of vCPUs is
supported.
</li>
<li>
Valid MAC address prefixes are <code>00:0c:29</code> and
<code>00:50:56</code>. <span class="since">Since 0.7.6</span>
arbitrary <a href="#macaddresses">MAC addresses</a> are supported.
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a id="datastore">Datastore references</a></h3>
<p>
Storage is managed in datastores. VMware uses a special path format to
reference files in a datastore. Basically, the datastore name is put
into squared braces in front of the path.
</p>
<pre>
[datastore] directory/filename
</pre>
<p>
To define a new domain the driver converts the domain XML into a
VMware VMX file and uploads it to a datastore known to the ESX server.
Because multiple datastores may be known to an ESX server the driver
needs to decide to which datastore the VMX file should be uploaded.
The driver deduces this information from the path of the source of the
first file-based harddisk listed in the domain XML.
</p>
<h3><a id="macaddresses">MAC addresses</a></h3>
<p>
VMware has registered two MAC address prefixes for domains:
<code>00:0c:29</code> and <code>00:50:56</code>. These prefixes are
split into ranges for different purposes.
</p>
<table class="top_table">
<tr>
<th>Range</th>
<th>Purpose</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>00:0c:29:00:00:00</code> - <code>00:0c:29:ff:ff:ff</code>
</td>
<td>
An ESX server autogenerates MAC addresses from this range if
the VMX file doesn't contain a MAC address when trying to start
a domain.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>00:50:56:00:00:00</code> - <code>00:50:56:3f:ff:ff</code>
</td>
<td>
MAC addresses from this range can by manually assigned by the
user in the VI client.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>00:50:56:80:00:00</code> - <code>00:50:56:bf:ff:ff</code>
</td>
<td>
A VI client autogenerates MAC addresses from this range for
newly defined domains.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
The VMX files generated by the ESX driver always contain a MAC address,
because libvirt generates a random one if an interface element in the
domain XML file lacks a MAC address.
<span class="since">Since 0.7.6</span> the ESX driver sets the prefix
for generated MAC addresses to <code>00:0c:29</code>. Before 0.7.6
the <code>00:50:56</code> prefix was used. Sometimes this resulted in
the generation of out-of-range MAC address that were rejected by the
ESX server.
</p>
<p>
Also <span class="since">since 0.7.6</span> every MAC address outside
this ranges can be used. For such MAC addresses the ESX server-side
check is disabled in the VMX file to stop the ESX server from rejecting
out-of-predefined-range MAC addresses.
</p>
<pre>

VMware ESX supports different models of SCSI controllers and network
cards.
</p>
<h4>SCSI controller models</h4>
<dl>
<dt><code>auto</code></dt>
<dd>
This isn't an actual controller model. If specified the ESX driver
tries to detect the SCSI controller model referenced in the
<code>.vmdk</code> file and use it. Autodetection fails when a
SCSI controller has multiple disks attached and the SCSI controller
models referenced in the <code>.vmdk</code> files are inconsistent.

<h2><a id="migration">Migration</a></h2>
<p>
A migration cannot be initiated on an ESX server directly, a VMware
vCenter is necessary for this. The <code>vcenter</code> query
parameter must be set either to the hostname or IP address of the
vCenter managing the ESX server or to <code>*</code>. Setting it
to <code>*</code> causes the driver to connect to the vCenter known to
the ESX server. If the ESX server is not managed by a vCenter an error
is reported.
</p>
<pre>
esx://example.com/?vcenter=example-vcenter.com
</pre>
<p>
Here's an example how to migrate the domain <code>Fedora11</code> from
ESX server <code>example-src.com</code> to ESX server
<code>example-dst.com</code> implicitly involving vCenter
<code>example-vcenter.com</code> using <code>virsh</code>.
</p>
<pre>
$ virsh -c esx://example-src.com/?vcenter=* migrate Fedora11 esx://example-dst.com/?vcenter=*
Enter username for example-src.com [root]:
Enter root password for example-src.com:
Enter username for example-vcenter.com [administrator]:
Enter administrator password for example-vcenter.com:
Enter username for example-dst.com [root]:
Enter root password for example-dst.com:
Enter username for example-vcenter.com [administrator]:
Enter administrator password for example-vcenter.com:
</pre>
<p>
<span class="since">Since 0.8.3</span> you can directly connect to a vCenter.
This simplifies migration a bit. Here's the same migration as above but
using <code>vpx://</code> connections and assuming both ESX server are in
datacenter <code>dc1</code> and aren't part of a cluster.
</p>
<pre>
$ virsh -c vpx://example-vcenter.com/dc1/example-src.com migrate Fedora11 vpx://example-vcenter.com/dc1/example-dst.com

<h2><a id="scheduler">Scheduler configuration</a></h2>
<p>
The driver exposes the ESX CPU scheduler. The parameters listed below
are available to control the scheduler.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>reservation</code></dt>
<dd>
The amount of CPU resource in MHz that is guaranteed to be
available to the domain. Valid values are 0 and greater.
</dd>
<dt><code>limit</code></dt>
<dd>
The CPU utilization of the domain will be
limited to this value in MHz, even if more CPU resources are
available. If the limit is set to -1, the CPU utilization of the
domain is unlimited. If the limit is not set to -1, it must be
greater than or equal to the reservation.
</dd>
<dt><code>shares</code></dt>
<dd>
Shares are used to determine relative CPU
allocation between domains. In general, a domain with more shares
gets proportionally more of the CPU resource. Valid values are 0
and greater. The special values -1, -2 and -3 represent the
predefined shares level <code>low</code>, <code>normal</code> and
<code>high</code>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2><a id="tools">VMware tools</a></h2>
<p>
Some actions require installed VMware tools. If the VMware tools are
not installed in the guest and one of the actions below is to be
performed the ESX server raises an error and the driver reports it.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>virDomainReboot</code>

Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
hyperv://example-hyperv.com (over HTTPS)
hyperv://example-hyperv.com/?transport=http (over HTTP)
</pre>
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: In contrast to other drivers, the Hyper-V driver
is a client-side-only driver. It connects to the Hyper-V server using
WS-Management over HTTP(S). Therefore, the
<a href="remote.html">remote transport mechanism</a> provided by the
remote driver and libvirtd will not work, and you cannot use URIs like
<code>hyperv+ssh://example.com</code>.
</p>
<h3><a id="uriformat">URI Format</a></h3>
<p>
URIs have this general form (<code>[...]</code> marks an optional part).
</p>
<pre>
hyperv://[username@]hostname[:port]/[?extraparameters]
</pre>
<p>
The default HTTPS ports is 5986. If the port parameter is given, it
overrides the default port.
</p>
<h4><a id="extraparams">Extra parameters</a></h4>
<p>
Extra parameters can be added to a URI as part of the query string
(the part following <code>?</code>). A single parameter is formed by a
<code>name=value</code> pair. Multiple parameters are separated by
<code>&amp;</code>.
</p>
<pre>
?transport=http
</pre>
<p>
The driver understands the extra parameters shown below.
</p>
<table class="top_table">

</td>
<td>
<code>http</code> or <code>https</code>
</td>
<td>
Overrides the default HTTPS transport. The default HTTP port
is 5985.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3><a id="auth">Authentication</a></h3>
<p>
In order to perform any useful operation the driver needs to log into
the Hyper-V server. Therefore, only <code>virConnectOpenAuth</code> can
be used to connect to an Hyper-V server, <code>virConnectOpen</code> and
<code>virConnectOpenReadOnly</code> don't work.
To log into an Hyper-V server the driver will request credentials using
the callback passed to the <code>virConnectOpenAuth</code> function.
The driver passes the hostname as challenge parameter to the callback.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: Currently only <code>Basic</code> authentication
is supported by libvirt. This method is disabled by default on the
Hyper-V server and can be enabled via the WinRM commandline tool.
</p>
<pre>
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
</pre>
<p>
To allow <code>Basic</code> authentication with HTTP transport WinRM
needs to allow unencrypted communication. This can be enabled via the
WinRM commandline tool. However, this is not the recommended
communication mode.
</p>
<pre>
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}

<h1>LXC container driver</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
The libvirt LXC driver manages "Linux Containers". At their simplest, containers
can just be thought of as a collection of processes, separated from the main
host processes via a set of resource namespaces and constrained via control
groups resource tunables. The libvirt LXC driver has no dependency on the LXC
userspace tools hosted on sourceforge.net. It directly utilizes the relevant
kernel features to build the container environment. This allows for sharing
of many libvirt technologies across both the QEMU/KVM and LXC drivers. In
particular sVirt for mandatory access control, auditing of operations,
integration with control groups and many other features.
</p>
<h2><a id="cgroups">Control groups Requirements</a></h2>
<p>
In order to control the resource usage of processes inside containers, the
libvirt LXC driver requires that certain cgroups controllers are mounted on
the host OS. The minimum required controllers are 'cpuacct', 'memory' and
'devices', while recommended extra controllers are 'cpu', 'freezer' and
'blkio'. Libvirt will not mount the cgroups filesystem itself, leaving
this up to the init system to take care of. Systemd will do the right thing
in this respect, while for other init systems the <code>cgconfig</code>
init service will be required. For further information, consult the general
libvirt <a href="cgroups.html">cgroups documentation</a>.
</p>
<h2><a id="namespaces">Namespace requirements</a></h2>
<p>
In order to separate processes inside a container from those in the
primary "host" OS environment, the libvirt LXC driver requires that
certain kernel namespaces are compiled in. Libvirt currently requires
the 'mount', 'ipc', 'pid', and 'uts' namespaces to be available. If
separate network interfaces are desired, then the 'net' namespace is
required. If the guest configuration declares a
<a href="formatdomain.html#elementsOSContainer">UID or GID mapping</a>,
the 'user' namespace will be enabled to apply these. <strong>A suitably
configured UID/GID mapping is a pre-requisite to making containers
secure, in the absence of sVirt confinement.</strong>
</p>
<h2><a id="init">Default container setup</a></h2>
<h3><a id="cliargs">Command line arguments</a></h3>
<p>
When the container "init" process is started, it will typically
not be given any command line arguments (eg the equivalent of
the bootloader args visible in <code>/proc/cmdline</code>). If
any arguments are desired, then must be explicitly set in the
container XML configuration via one or more <code>initarg</code>
elements. For example, to run <code>systemd --unit emergency.service</code>
would use the following XML
</p>
<pre>
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type arch='x86_64'&gt;exe&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;init&gt;/bin/systemd&lt;/init&gt;
&lt;initarg&gt;--unit&lt;/initarg&gt;
&lt;initarg&gt;emergency.service&lt;/initarg&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a id="envvars">Environment variables</a></h3>
<p>
When the container "init" process is started, it will be given several useful
environment variables. The following standard environment variables are mandated
by <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface">systemd container interface</a>
to be provided by all container technologies on Linux.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>container</code></dt>
<dd>The fixed string <code>libvirt-lxc</code> to identify libvirt as the creator</dd>
<dt><code>container_uuid</code></dt>
<dd>The UUID assigned to the container by libvirt</dd>
<dt><code>PATH</code></dt>
<dd>The fixed string <code>/bin:/usr/bin</code></dd>
<dt><code>TERM</code></dt>
<dd>The fixed string <code>linux</code></dd>
<dt><code>HOME</code></dt>
<dd>The fixed string <code>/</code></dd>
</dl>
<p>
In addition to the standard variables, the following libvirt specific
environment variables are also provided
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>LIBVIRT_LXC_NAME</code></dt>
<dd>The name assigned to the container by libvirt</dd>
<dt><code>LIBVIRT_LXC_UUID</code></dt>
<dd>The UUID assigned to the container by libvirt</dd>
<dt><code>LIBVIRT_LXC_CMDLINE</code></dt>
<dd>The unparsed command line arguments specified in the container configuration.
Use of this is discouraged, in favour of passing arguments directly to the
container init process via the <code>initarg</code> config element.</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a id="fsmounts">Filesystem mounts</a></h3>
<p>
In the absence of any explicit configuration, the container will
inherit the host OS filesystem mounts. A number of mount points will
be made read only, or re-mounted with new instances to provide
container specific data. The following special mounts are setup
by libvirt
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/dev</code> a new "tmpfs" pre-populated with authorized device nodes</li>
<li><code>/dev/pts</code> a new private "devpts" instance for console devices</li>
<li><code>/sys</code> the host "sysfs" instance remounted read-only</li>
<li><code>/proc</code> a new instance of the "proc" filesystem</li>
<li><code>/proc/sys</code> the host "/proc/sys" bind-mounted read-only</li>
<li><code>/sys/fs/selinux</code> the host "selinux" instance remounted read-only</li>
<li><code>/sys/fs/cgroup/NNNN</code> the host cgroups controllers bind-mounted to
only expose the sub-tree associated with the container</li>
<li><code>/proc/meminfo</code> a FUSE backed file reflecting memory limits of the container</li>
</ul>
<h3><a id="devnodes">Device nodes</a></h3>
<p>
The container init process will be started with <code>CAP_MKNOD</code>
capability removed and blocked from re-acquiring it. As such it will
not be able to create any device nodes in <code>/dev</code> or anywhere
else in its filesystems. Libvirt itself will take care of pre-populating
the <code>/dev</code> filesystem with any devices that the container
is authorized to use. The current devices that will be made available
to all containers are
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/dev/zero</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/null</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/full</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/random</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/urandom</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/stdin</code> symlinked to <code>/proc/self/fd/0</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/stdout</code> symlinked to <code>/proc/self/fd/1</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/stderr</code> symlinked to <code>/proc/self/fd/2</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/fd</code> symlinked to <code>/proc/self/fd</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/ptmx</code> symlinked to <code>/dev/pts/ptmx</code></li>
<li><code>/dev/console</code> symlinked to <code>/dev/pts/0</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
In addition, for every console defined in the guest configuration,
a symlink will be created from <code>/dev/ttyN</code> symlinked to
the corresponding <code>/dev/pts/M</code> pseudo TTY device. The
first console will be <code>/dev/tty1</code>, with further consoles
numbered incrementally from there.
</p>
<p>
Since /dev/ttyN and /dev/console are linked to the pts devices. The
tty device of login program is pts device. The pam module securetty
may prevent root user from logging in container. If you want root
user to log in container successfully, add the pts device to the file
/etc/securetty of container.
</p>
<p>
Further block or character devices will be made available to containers
depending on their configuration.
</p>
<h2><a id="security">Security considerations</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt LXC driver is fairly flexible in how it can be configured,
and as such does not enforce a requirement for strict security
separation between a container and the host. This allows it to be used
in scenarios where only resource control capabilities are important,
and resource sharing is desired. Applications wishing to ensure secure
isolation between a container and the host must ensure that they are
writing a suitable configuration.
</p>
<h3><a id="securenetworking">Network isolation</a></h3>
<p>
If the guest configuration does not list any network interfaces,
the <code>network</code> namespace will not be activated, and thus
the container will see all the host's network interfaces. This will
allow apps in the container to bind to/connect from TCP/UDP addresses
and ports from the host OS. It also allows applications to access
UNIX domain sockets associated with the host OS, which are in the
abstract namespace. If access to UNIX domains sockets in the abstract
namespace is not wanted, then applications should set the
<code>&lt;privnet/&gt;</code> flag in the
<code>&lt;features&gt;....&lt;/features&gt;</code> element.
</p>
<h3><a id="securefs">Filesystem isolation</a></h3>
<p>
If the guest configuration does not list any filesystems, then
the container will be set up with a root filesystem that matches
the host's root filesystem. As noted earlier, only a few locations
such as <code>/dev</code>, <code>/proc</code> and <code>/sys</code>
will be altered. This means that, in the absence of restrictions
from sVirt, a process running as user/group N:M inside the container
will be able to access almost exactly the same files as a process
running as user/group N:M in the host.
</p>
<p>
There are multiple options for restricting this. It is possible to
simply map the existing root filesystem through to the container in
read-only mode. Alternatively a completely separate root filesystem
can be configured for the guest. In both cases, further sub-mounts
can be applied to customize the content that is made visible. Note
that in the absence of sVirt controls, it is still possible for the
root user in a container to unmount any sub-mounts applied. The user
namespace feature can also be used to restrict access to files based
on the UID/GID mappings.
</p>
<p>
Sharing the host filesystem tree, also allows applications to access
UNIX domains sockets associated with the host OS, which are in the
filesystem namespaces. It should be noted that a number of init
systems including at least <code>systemd</code> and <code>upstart</code>
have UNIX domain socket which are used to control their operation.
Thus, if the directory/filesystem holding their UNIX domain socket is
exposed to the container, it will be possible for a user in the container
to invoke operations on the init service in the same way it could if
outside the container. This also applies to other applications in the
host which use UNIX domain sockets in the filesystem, such as DBus,
Libvirtd, and many more. If this is not desired, then applications
should either specify the UID/GID mapping in the configuration to
enable user namespaces and thus block access to the UNIX domain socket
based on permissions, or should ensure the relevant directories have
a bind mount to hide them. This is particularly important for the
<code>/run</code> or <code>/var/run</code> directories.
</p>
<h3><a id="secureusers">User and group isolation</a></h3>
<p>
If the guest configuration does not list any ID mapping, then the
user and group IDs used inside the container will match those used
outside the container. In addition, the capabilities associated with
a process in the container will infer the same privileges they would
for a process in the host. This has obvious implications for security,
since a root user inside the container will be able to access any
file owned by root that is visible to the container, and perform more
or less any privileged kernel operation. In the absence of additional
protection from sVirt, this means that the root user inside a container
is effectively as powerful as the root user in the host. There is no
security isolation of the root user.
</p>
<p>
The ID mapping facility was introduced to allow for stricter control
over the privileges of users inside the container. It allows apps to
define rules such as "user ID 0 in the container maps to user ID 1000
in the host". In addition the privileges associated with capabilities
are somewhat reduced so that they cannot be used to escape from the
container environment. A full description of user namespaces is outside
the scope of this document, however LWN has
<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/532593/">a good write-up on the topic</a>.
From the libvirt point of view, the key thing to remember is that defining
an ID mapping for users and groups in the container XML configuration
causes libvirt to activate the user namespace feature.
</p>
<h2><a id="activation">Systemd Socket Activation Integration</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt LXC driver provides the ability to pass across pre-opened file
descriptors when starting LXC guests. This allows for libvirt LXC to support
systemd's <a href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activated-containers.html">socket
activation capability</a>, where an incoming client connection
in the host OS will trigger the startup of a container, which runs another
copy of systemd which gets passed the server socket, and then activates the
actual service handler in the container.
</p>
<p>
Let us assume that you already have a LXC guest created, running
a systemd instance as PID 1 inside the container, which has an
SSHD service configured. The goal is to automatically activate
the container when the first SSH connection is made. The first
step is to create a couple of unit files for the host OS systemd
instance. The <code>/etc/systemd/system/mycontainer.service</code>
unit file specifies how systemd will start the libvirt LXC container
</p>
<pre>
[Unit]
Description=My little container
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/virsh -c lxc:///system start --pass-fds 3 mycontainer
ExecStop=/usr/bin/virsh -c lxc:///system destroy mycontainer
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
KillMode=none
</pre>
<p>
The <code>--pass-fds 3</code> argument specifies that the file
descriptor number 3 that <code>virsh</code> inherits from systemd,
is to be passed into the container. Since <code>virsh</code> will
exit immediately after starting the container, the <code>RemainAfterExit</code>
and <code>KillMode</code> settings must be altered from their defaults.
</p>
<p>
Next, the <code>/etc/systemd/system/mycontainer.socket</code> unit
file is created to get the host systemd to listen on port 23 for
TCP connections. When this unit file is activated by the first
incoming connection, it will cause the <code>mycontainer.service</code>
unit to be activated with the FD corresponding to the listening TCP
socket passed in as FD 3.
</p>
<pre>
[Unit]
Description=The SSH socket of my little container
[Socket]
ListenStream=23
</pre>
<p>
Port 23 was picked here so that the container doesn't conflict
with the host's SSH which is on the normal port 22. That's it
in terms of host side configuration.
</p>
<p>
Inside the container, the <code>/etc/systemd/system/sshd.socket</code>
unit file must be created
</p>
<pre>
[Unit]
Description=SSH Socket for Per-Connection Servers
[Socket]
ListenStream=23
Accept=yes
</pre>
<p>
The <code>ListenStream</code> value listed in this unit file, must
match the value used in the host file. When systemd in the container
receives the pre-opened FD from libvirt during container startup, it
looks at the <code>ListenStream</code> values to figure out which
FD to give to which service. The actual service to start is defined
by a correspondingly named <code>/etc/systemd/system/sshd@.service</code>
</p>
<pre>
[Unit]
Description=SSH Per-Connection Server for %I
[Service]
ExecStart=-/usr/sbin/sshd -i
StandardInput=socket
</pre>
<p>
Finally, make sure this SSH service is set to start on boot of the container,
by running the following command inside the container:
</p>
<pre>
# mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/
# ln -s /etc/systemd/system/sshd.socket /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/
</pre>
<p>
This example shows how to activate the container based on an incoming
SSH connection. If the container was also configured to have an httpd
service, it may be desirable to activate it upon either an httpd or a
sshd connection attempt. In this case, the <code>mycontainer.socket</code>
file in the host would simply list multiple socket ports. Inside the
container a separate <code>xxxxx.socket</code> file would need to be
created for each service, with a corresponding <code>ListenStream</code>
value set.

<h2>Container security</h2>
<h3>sVirt SELinux</h3>
<p>
In the absence of the "user" namespace being used, containers cannot
be considered secure against exploits of the host OS. The sVirt SELinux
driver provides a way to secure containers even when the "user" namespace
is not used. The cost is that writing a policy to allow execution of
arbitrary OS is not practical. The SELinux sVirt policy is typically
tailored to work with a simpler application confinement use case,
as provided by the "libvirt-sandbox" project.
</p>
<h3>Auditing</h3>
<p>
The LXC driver is integrated with libvirt's auditing subsystem, which
causes audit messages to be logged whenever there is an operation
performed against a container which has impact on host resources.
So for example, start/stop, device hotplug will all log audit messages
providing details about what action occurred and any resources
associated with it. There are the following 3 types of audit messages
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>VIRT_MACHINE_ID</code> - details of the SELinux process and
image security labels assigned to the container.</li>
<li><code>VIRT_CONTROL</code> - details of an action / operation
performed against a container. There are the following types of
operation
<ul>
<li><code>op=start</code> - a container has been started. Provides
the machine name, uuid and PID of the <code>libvirt_lxc</code>
controller process</li>
<li><code>op=init</code> - the init PID of the container has been
started. Provides the machine name, uuid and PID of the
<code>libvirt_lxc</code> controller process and PID of the
init process (in the host PID namespace)</li>
<li><code>op=stop</code> - a container has been stopped. Provides
the machine name, uuid</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>VIRT_RESOURCE</code> - details of a host resource
associated with a container action.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Device access</h3>
<p>
All containers are launched with the CAP_MKNOD capability cleared
and removed from the bounding set. Libvirt will ensure that the
/dev filesystem is pre-populated with all devices that a container
is allowed to use. In addition, the cgroup "device" controller is
configured to block read/write/mknod from all devices except those
that a container is authorized to use.
</p>
<h2><a id="exconfig">Example configurations</a></h2>
<h3>Example config version 1</h3>
<p></p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='lxc'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;vm1&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;500000&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;exe&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;init&gt;/bin/sh&lt;/init&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;vcpu&gt;1&lt;/vcpu&gt;
&lt;clock offset='utc'/&gt;

&lt;/interface&gt;
&lt;console type='pty' /&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<p>
In the &lt;emulator&gt; element, be sure you specify the correct path
to libvirt_lxc, if it does not live in /usr/libexec on your system.
</p>
<p>
The next example assumes there is a private root filesystem
(perhaps hand-crafted using busybox, or installed from media,
debootstrap, whatever) under /opt/vm-1-root:
</p>
<p></p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='lxc'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;vm1&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;32768&lt;/memory&gt;

&lt;type&gt;exe&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;init&gt;/init&lt;/init&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;

&lt;clock offset='utc'/&gt;
&lt;on_poweroff&gt;destroy&lt;/on_poweroff&gt;
&lt;on_reboot&gt;restart&lt;/on_reboot&gt;
&lt;on_crash&gt;destroy&lt;/on_crash&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;emulator&gt;/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc&lt;/emulator&gt;
&lt;filesystem type='mount'&gt;
&lt;source dir='/opt/vm-1-root'/&gt;
&lt;target dir='/'/&gt;
&lt;/filesystem&gt;
&lt;interface type='network'&gt;
&lt;source network='default'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;
&lt;console type='pty' /&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<h2><a id="capabilities">Altering the available capabilities</a></h2>
<p>
By default the libvirt LXC driver drops some capabilities among which CAP_MKNOD.
However <span class="since">since 1.2.6</span> libvirt can be told to keep or
drop some capabilities using a domain configuration like the following:
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;features&gt;
&lt;capabilities policy='default'&gt;
&lt;mknod state='on'/&gt;
&lt;sys_chroot state='off'/&gt;
&lt;/capabilities&gt;
&lt;/features&gt;
...
</pre>
<p>
The capabilities children elements are named after the capabilities as defined in
<code>man 7 capabilities</code>. An <code>off</code> state tells libvirt to drop the
capability, while an <code>on</code> state will force to keep the capability even though
this one is dropped by default.
</p>
<p>
The <code>policy</code> attribute can be one of <code>default</code>, <code>allow</code>
or <code>deny</code>. It defines the default rules for capabilities: either keep the
default behavior that is dropping a few selected capabilities, or keep all capabilities
or drop all capabilities. The interest of <code>allow</code> and <code>deny</code> is that
they guarantee that all capabilities will be kept (or removed) even if new ones are added
later.
</p>
<p>
The following example, drops all capabilities but CAP_MKNOD:
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;features&gt;
&lt;capabilities policy='deny'&gt;
&lt;mknod state='on'/&gt;
&lt;/capabilities&gt;
&lt;/features&gt;
...
</pre>
<p>
Note that allowing capabilities that are normally dropped by default can seriously
affect the security of the container and the host.
</p>
<h2><a id="share">Inherit namespaces</a></h2>
<p>
Libvirt allows you to inherit the namespace from container/process just like lxc tools
or docker provides to share the network namespace. The following can be used to share
required namespaces. If we want to share only one then the other namespaces can be ignored.
The netns option is specific to sharenet. It can be used in cases we want to use existing network namespace
rather than creating new network namespace for the container. In this case privnet option will be
ignored.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;domain type='lxc' xmlns:lxc='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/lxc/1.0'&gt;
...
&lt;lxc:namespace&gt;
&lt;lxc:sharenet type='netns' value='red'/&gt;
&lt;lxc:shareuts type='name' value='container1'/&gt;
&lt;lxc:shareipc type='pid' value='12345'/&gt;
&lt;/lxc:namespace&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<p>
The use of namespace passthrough requires libvirt >= 1.2.19
</p>
<h2><a id="usage">Container usage / management</a></h2>
<p>
As with any libvirt virtualization driver, LXC containers can be
managed via a wide variety of libvirt based tools. At the lowest
level the <code>virsh</code> command can be used to perform many
tasks, by passing the <code>-c lxc:///system</code> argument. As an
alternative to repeating the URI with every command, the <code>LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI</code>
environment variable can be set to <code>lxc:///system</code>. The
examples that follow outline some common operations with virsh
and LXC. For further details about usage of virsh consult its
manual page.
</p>
<h3><a id="usageSave">Defining (saving) container configuration</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh define</code> command takes an XML configuration
document and loads it into libvirt, saving the configuration on disk
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system define myguest.xml
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageView">Viewing container configuration</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh dumpxml</code> command can be used to view the
current XML configuration of a container. By default the XML
output reflects the current state of the container. If the
container is running, it is possible to explicitly request the
persistent configuration, instead of the current live configuration
using the <code>--inactive</code> flag
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system dumpxml myguest
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageStart">Starting containers</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh start</code> command can be used to start a
container from a previously defined persistent configuration
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system start myguest
</pre>
<p>
It is also possible to start so called "transient" containers,
which do not require a persistent configuration to be saved
by libvirt, using the <code>virsh create</code> command.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system create myguest.xml
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageStop">Stopping containers</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh shutdown</code> command can be used
to request a graceful shutdown of the container. By default
this command will first attempt to send a message to the
init process via the <code>/dev/initctl</code> device node.
If no such device node exists, then it will send SIGTERM
to PID 1 inside the container.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system shutdown myguest
</pre>
<p>
If the container does not respond to the graceful shutdown
request, it can be forcibly stopped using the <code>virsh destroy</code>
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system destroy myguest
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageReboot">Rebooting a container</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh reboot</code> command can be used
to request a graceful shutdown of the container. By default
this command will first attempt to send a message to the
init process via the <code>/dev/initctl</code> device node.
If no such device node exists, then it will send SIGHUP
to PID 1 inside the container.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system reboot myguest
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageDelete">Undefining (deleting) a container configuration</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh undefine</code> command can be used to delete the
persistent configuration of a container. If the guest is currently
running, this will turn it into a "transient" guest.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system undefine myguest
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageConnect">Connecting to a container console</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh console</code> command can be used to connect
to the text console associated with a container.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system console myguest
</pre>
<p>
If the container has been configured with multiple console devices,
then the <code>--devname</code> argument can be used to choose the
console to connect to.
In LXC, multiple consoles will be named
as 'console0', 'console1', 'console2', etc.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system console myguest --devname console1
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageEnter">Running commands in a container</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh lxc-enter-namespace</code> command can be used
to enter the namespaces and security context of a container
and then execute an arbitrary command.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system lxc-enter-namespace myguest -- /bin/ls -al /dev
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageTop">Monitoring container utilization</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virt-top</code> command can be used to monitor the
activity and resource utilization of all containers on a
host
</p>
<pre>
# virt-top -c lxc:///system
</pre>
<h3><a id="usageConvert">Converting LXC container configuration</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> command can be used to convert
most of the LXC container configuration into a domain XML fragment
</p>
<pre>
# virsh -c lxc:///system domxml-from-native lxc-tools /var/lib/lxc/myguest/config
</pre>
<p>
This conversion has some limitations due to the fact that the
domxml-from-native command output has to be independent of the host. Here
are a few things to take care of before converting:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Replace the fstab file referenced by <tt>lxc.mount</tt> by the corresponding
lxc.mount.entry lines.
</li>
<li>
Replace all relative sizes of tmpfs mount entries to absolute sizes. Also
make sure that tmpfs entries all have a size option (default is 50%).
</li>
<li>
Define <tt>lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes</tt> to properly limit the memory
available to the container. The conversion will use 64MiB as the default.
</li>
</ul>

<h1>Host device management</h1>
<p>
Libvirt provides management of both physical and virtual host devices
(historically also referred to as node devices) like USB, PCI, SCSI, and
network devices. This also includes various virtualization capabilities
which the aforementioned devices provide for utilization, for example
SR-IOV, NPIV, MDEV, DRM, etc.
</p>
<p>
The node device driver provides means to list and show details about host
devices (<code>virsh nodedev-list</code>,
<code>virsh nodedev-dumpxml</code>), which are generic and can be used
with all devices. It also provides means to create and destroy devices
(<code>virsh nodedev-create</code>, <code>virsh nodedev-destroy</code>)
which are meant to be used to create virtual devices, currently only
supported by NPIV
(<a href="http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/NPIV_in_libvirt">more info about NPIV)</a>).
Devices on the host system are arranged in a tree-like hierarchy, with
the root node being called <code>computer</code>. The node device driver
supports two backends to manage the devices, HAL and udev, with the former
being deprecated in favour of the latter.
</p>
<p>
Details of the XML format of a host device can be found <a
href="formatnode.html">here</a>. Of particular interest is the
<code>capability</code> element, which describes features supported by
the device. Some specific device types are addressed in more detail
below.

<p>
The XML format for a PCI device stays the same for any further
capabilities it supports, a single nested <code>&lt;capability&gt;</code>
element will be included for each capability the device supports.
</p>
<h3><a id="SRIOVCap">SR-IOV capability</a></h3>
<p>
Single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) allows sharing of the
PCIe resources by multiple virtual environments. That is achieved by
slicing up a single full-featured physical resource called physical
function (PF) into multiple devices called virtual functions (VFs) sharing
their configuration with the underlying PF. Despite the SR-IOV
specification, the amount of VFs that can be created on a PF varies among
manufacturers.
</p>
<p>
Suppose the NIC <a href="#PCI">above</a> was also SR-IOV capable, it would
also include a nested
<code>&lt;capability&gt;</code> element enumerating all virtual
functions available on the physical device (physical port) like in the
example below.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;capability type='pci'&gt;
...
&lt;capability type='virt_functions' maxCount='7'&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x10' function='0x1'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x10' function='0x3'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x10' function='0x5'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x10' function='0x7'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x11' function='0x1'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x11' function='0x3'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x11' function='0x5'/&gt;
&lt;/capability&gt;
...
&lt;/capability&gt;</pre>
<p>
A SR-IOV child device on the other hand, would then report its top level
capability type as a <code>phys_function</code> instead:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;device&gt;
...
&lt;capability type='phys_function'&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/&gt;
&lt;/capability&gt;
...
&lt;/device&gt;</pre>
<h3><a id="MDEVCap">MDEV capability</a></h3>
<p>
A PCI device capable of creating mediated devices will include a nested
capability <code>mdev_types</code> which enumerates all supported mdev
types on the physical device, along with the type attributes available
through sysfs. A detailed description of the XML format for the
<code>mdev_types</code> capability can be found
<a href="formatnode.html#MDEVCap">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
The following example shows how we might represent an NVIDIA GPU device
that supports mediated devices. See below for <a href="#MDEV">more
information about mediated devices</a>.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;device&gt;
...
&lt;driver&gt;
&lt;name&gt;nvidia&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;/driver&gt;
&lt;capability type='pci'&gt;
...
&lt;capability type='mdev_types'&gt;
&lt;type id='nvidia-11'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;GRID M60-0B&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;deviceAPI&gt;vfio-pci&lt;/deviceAPI&gt;
&lt;availableInstances&gt;16&lt;/availableInstances&gt;
&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;!-- Here would come the rest of the available mdev types --&gt;
&lt;/capability&gt;
...
&lt;/capability&gt;
&lt;/device&gt;</pre>
<h2><a id="MDEV">Mediated devices (MDEVs)</a></h2>
<p>
Mediated devices (<span class="since">Since 3.2.0</span>) are software
devices defining resource allocation on the backing physical device which
in turn allows the parent physical device's resources to be divided into
several mediated devices, thus sharing the physical device's performance
among multiple guests. Unlike SR-IOV however, where a PCIe device appears
as multiple separate PCIe devices on the host's PCI bus, mediated devices
only appear on the mdev virtual bus. Therefore, no detach/reattach
procedure from/to the host driver procedure is involved even though
mediated devices are used in a direct device assignment manner. A
detailed description of the XML format for the <code>mdev</code>
capability can be found <a href="formatnode.html#mdev">here</a>.
</p>
<h3>Example of a mediated device</h3>
<pre>
&lt;device&gt;
&lt;name&gt;mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;path&gt;/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01&lt;/path&gt;
&lt;parent&gt;pci_0000_06_00_0&lt;/parent&gt;
&lt;driver&gt;
&lt;name&gt;vfio_mdev&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;/driver&gt;
&lt;capability type='mdev'&gt;
&lt;type id='nvidia-11'/&gt;
&lt;iommuGroup number='12'/&gt;
&lt;/capability&gt;
&lt;/device&gt;</pre>
<p>
The support of mediated device's framework in libvirt's node device driver
covers the following features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
list available mediated devices on the host
(<span class="since">Since 3.4.0</span>)
</li>
<li>
display device details
(<span class="since">Since 3.4.0</span>)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Because mediated devices are instantiated from vendor specific templates,
simply called 'types', information describing these types is contained
within the parent device's capabilities
(see the example in <a href="#PCI">PCI host devices</a>).
</p>
<p>
To see the supported mediated device types on a specific physical device
use the following:
</p>
<pre>
$ ls /sys/class/mdev_bus/&lt;device&gt;/mdev_supported_types</pre>
<p>
Before creating a mediated device, unbind the device from the respective
device driver, eg. subchannel I/O driver for a CCW device. Then bind the
device to the respective VFIO driver. For a CCW device, also unbind the
corresponding subchannel of the CCW device from the subchannel I/O driver
and then bind the subchannel (instead of the CCW device) to the vfio_ccw
driver. The below example shows the unbinding and binding steps for a CCW
device.
</p>
<pre>
device="0.0.1234"
subchannel="0.0.0123"
echo $device &gt; /sys/bus/ccw/devices/$device/driver/unbind
echo $subchannel &gt; /sys/bus/css/devices/$subchannel/driver/unbind
echo $subchannel &gt; /sys/bus/css/drivers/vfio_ccw/bind
</pre>
<p>
To manually instantiate a mediated device, use one of the following as a
reference. For a CCW device, use the subchannel ID instead of the device
ID.
</p>
<pre>
$ uuidgen &gt; /sys/class/mdev_bus/&lt;device&gt;/mdev_supported_types/&lt;type&gt;/create
...
$ echo &lt;UUID&gt; &gt; /sys/class/mdev_bus/&lt;device&gt;/mdev_supported_types/&lt;type&gt;/create</pre>
<p>
Manual removal of a mediated device is then performed as follows:
</p>
<pre>
$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/bus/mdev/devices/&lt;uuid&gt;/remove</pre>

<h1>OpenVZ container driver</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
The OpenVZ driver for libvirt allows use and management of container
based virtualization on a Linux host OS. Prior to using the OpenVZ
driver, the OpenVZ enabled kernel must be installed &amp; booted, and the
OpenVZ userspace tools installed. The libvirt driver has been tested
with OpenVZ 3.0.22, but other 3.0.x versions should also work without
undue trouble.

<h2><a id="connections">Connections to OpenVZ driver</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt OpenVZ driver is a single-instance privileged driver,
with a driver name of 'openvz'. Some example connection URIs for
the libvirt driver are:
</p>
<pre>
openvz:///system (local access)

<h2><a id="notes">Notes on bridged networking</a></h2>
<p>
Bridged networking enables a guest domain (ie container) to have its
network interface connected directly to the host's physical LAN. Before
this can be used there are a couple of configuration pre-requisites for
the host OS.
</p>
<h3><a id="host">Host network devices</a></h3>
<p>
One or more of the physical devices must be attached to a bridge. The
process for this varies according to the operating system in use, so
for up to date notes consult the <a href="http://wiki.libvirt.org">Wiki</a>
or your operating system's networking documentation. The basic idea is
that the host OS should end up with a bridge device "br0" containing a
physical device "eth0", or a bonding device "bond0".
</p>
<h3><a id="tools">OpenVZ tools configuration</a></h3>
<p>
OpenVZ releases later than 3.0.23 ship with a standard network device
setup script that is able to setup bridging, named
<code>/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr</code>. For releases prior to 3.0.23, this
script must be created manually by the host OS administrator. The
simplest way is to just download the latest version of this script
from a newer OpenVZ release, or upstream source repository. Then
a generic configuration file <code>/etc/vz/vznet.conf</code>
must be created containing
</p>
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
EXTERNAL_SCRIPT="/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr"
</pre>
<p>
The host OS is now ready to allow bridging of guest containers, which
will work whether the container is started with libvirt, or OpenVZ
tools.
</p>
<h2><a id="example">Example guest domain XML configuration</a></h2>
<p>
The current libvirt OpenVZ driver has a restriction that the
domain names must match the OpenVZ container VEID, which by
convention start at 100, and are incremented from there. The
choice of OS template to use inside the container is determined
by the <code>filesystem</code> tag, and the template source name
matches the templates known to OpenVZ tools.
</p>

<h2><a id="uris">Connections to QEMU driver</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt QEMU driver is a multi-instance driver, providing a single
system wide privileged driver (the "system" instance), and per-user
unprivileged drivers (the "session" instance). The URI driver protocol
is "qemu". Some example connection URIs for the libvirt driver are:
</p>
<pre>
qemu:///session (local access to per-user instance)
qemu+unix:///session (local access to per-user instance)
qemu:///system (local access to system instance)
qemu+unix:///system (local access to system instance)
qemu://example.com/system (remote access, TLS/x509)
qemu+tcp://example.com/system (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
qemu+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
<h3><a id="uriembedded">Embedded driver</a></h3>
<p>
Since 6.1.0 the QEMU driver has experimental support for operating
in an embedded mode. In this scenario, rather than connecting to
the libvirtd daemon, the QEMU driver runs in the client application
process directly. To use this the client application must have
registered &amp; be running an instance of the event loop. To open
the driver in embedded mode the app use the new URI path and specify
a virtual root directory under which the driver will create content.
</p>
<pre>
qemu:///embed?root=/some/dir
</pre>
<p>
Broadly speaking the range of functionality is intended to be
on a par with that seen when using the traditional system or
session libvirt connections to QEMU. The features will of course
differ depending on whether the application using the embedded
driver is running privileged or unprivileged. For example PCI
device assignment or TAP based networking are only available
when running privileged. While the embedded mode is still classed
as experimental some features may change their default settings
between releases.
</p>
<p>
By default if the application uses any APIs associated with
secondary drivers, these will result in a connection being
opened to the corresponding driver in libvirtd. For example,
this allows a virtual machine from the embedded QEMU to connect
its NIC to a virtual network or connect its disk to a storage
volume. Some of the secondary drivers will also be able to support
running in embedded mode. Currently this is supported by the
secrets driver, to allow for use of VMs with encrypted disks
</p>
<h4><a id="embedTree">Directory tree</a></h4>
<p>
Under the specified root directory the following locations will
be used
</p>
<pre>
/some/dir
|
+- log
| |
| +- qemu
| +- swtpm
|
+- etc
| |
| +- qemu
| +- pki
| |
| +- qemu
|
+- run
| |
| +- qemu
| +- swtpm
|
+- cache
| |
| +- qemu
|
+- lib
|
+- qemu
+- swtpm
</pre>
<p>
Note that UNIX domain sockets used for QEMU virtual machines had
a maximum filename length of 108 characters. Bear this in mind
when picking a root directory to avoid risk of exhausting the
filename space. The application is responsible for recursively
purging the contents of this directory tree once they no longer
require a connection, though it can also be left intact for reuse
when opening a future connection.
</p>
<h4><a id="embedAPI">API usage with event loop</a></h4>
<p>
To use the QEMU driver in embedded mode the application must
register an event loop with libvirt. Many of the QEMU driver
API calls will rely on the event loop processing data. With this
in mind, applications must <strong>NEVER</strong> invoke API
calls from the event loop thread itself, only other threads.
Not following this rule will lead to deadlocks in the API.
This restriction is intended to be lifted in a future release
of libvirt, once QMP processing moves to a dedicated thread.
</p>
<h2><a id="security">Driver security architecture</a></h2>
<p>
There are multiple layers to security in the QEMU driver, allowing for
flexibility in the use of QEMU based virtual machines.
</p>
<h3><a id="securitydriver">Driver instances</a></h3>
<p>
As explained above there are two ways to access the QEMU driver
in libvirt. The "qemu:///session" family of URIs connect to a
libvirtd instance running as the same user/group ID as the client
application. Thus the QEMU instances spawned from this driver will
share the same privileges as the client application. The intended
use case for this driver is desktop virtualization, with virtual
machines storing their disk images in the user's home directory and
being managed from the local desktop login session.
</p>
<p>
The "qemu:///system" family of URIs connect to a
libvirtd instance running as the privileged system account 'root'.
Thus the QEMU instances spawned from this driver may have much
higher privileges than the client application managing them.
The intended use case for this driver is server virtualization,
where the virtual machines may need to be connected to host
resources (block, PCI, USB, network devices) whose access requires
elevated privileges.
</p>
<h3><a id="securitydac">POSIX users/groups</a></h3>
<p>
In the "session" instance, the POSIX users/groups model restricts QEMU
virtual machines (and libvirtd in general) to only have access to resources
with the same user/group ID as the client application. There is no
finer level of configuration possible for the "session" instances.
</p>
<p>
In the "system" instance, libvirt releases from 0.7.0 onwards allow
control over the user/group that the QEMU virtual machines are run
as. A build of libvirt with no configuration parameters set will
still run QEMU processes as root:root. It is possible to change
this default by using the --with-qemu-user=$USERNAME and
--with-qemu-group=$GROUPNAME arguments to 'configure' during
build. It is strongly recommended that vendors build with both
of these arguments set to 'qemu'. Regardless of this build time
default, administrators can set a per-host default setting in
the <code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code> configuration file via
the <code>user=$USERNAME</code> and <code>group=$GROUPNAME</code>
parameters. When a non-root user or group is configured, the
libvirt QEMU driver will change uid/gid to match immediately
before executing the QEMU binary for a virtual machine.
</p>
<p>
If QEMU virtual machines from the "system" instance are being
run as non-root, there will be greater restrictions on what
host resources the QEMU process will be able to access. The
libvirtd daemon will attempt to manage permissions on resources
to minimise the likelihood of unintentional security denials,
but the administrator / application developer must be aware of
some of the consequences / restrictions.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The directories <code>/var/run/libvirt/qemu/</code>,
<code>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/</code> and
<code>/var/cache/libvirt/qemu/</code> must all have their
ownership set to match the user / group ID that QEMU
guests will be run as. If the vendor has set a non-root
user/group for the QEMU driver at build time, the
permissions should be set automatically at install time.
If a host administrator customizes user/group in
<code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code>, they will need to
manually set the ownership on these directories.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When attaching USB and PCI devices to a QEMU guest,
QEMU will need to access files in <code>/dev/bus/usb</code>
and <code>/sys/bus/pci/devices</code> respectively. The libvirtd daemon
will automatically set the ownership on specific devices
that are assigned to a guest at start time. There should
not be any need for administrator changes in this respect.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Any files/devices used as guest disk images must be
accessible to the user/group ID that QEMU guests are
configured to run as. The libvirtd daemon will automatically
set the ownership of the file/device path to the correct
user/group ID. Applications / administrators must be aware
though that the parent directory permissions may still
deny access. The directories containing disk images
must either have their ownership set to match the user/group
configured for QEMU, or their UNIX file permissions must
have the 'execute/search' bit enabled for 'others'.
</p>
<p>
The simplest option is the latter one, of just enabling
the 'execute/search' bit. For any directory to be used
for storing disk images, this can be achieved by running
the following command on the directory itself, and any
parent directories
</p>
<pre>
chmod o+x /path/to/directory
</pre>
<p>
In particular note that if using the "system" instance
and attempting to store disk images in a user home
directory, the default permissions on $HOME are typically
too restrictive to allow access.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The libvirt maintainers <strong>strongly recommend against</strong>
running QEMU as the root user/group. This should not be required
in most supported usage scenarios, as libvirt will generally do the
right thing to grant QEMU access to files it is permitted to
use when it is running non-root.
</p>
<h3><a id="securitycap">Linux process capabilities</a></h3>
<p>
In versions of libvirt prior to 6.0.0, even if QEMU was configured
to run as the root user / group, libvirt would strip all process
capabilities. This meant that QEMU could only read/write files
owned by root, or with open permissions. In reality, stripping
capabilities did not have any security benefit, as it was trivial
to get commands to run in another context with full capabilities,
for example, by creating a cronjob.
</p>
<p>
Thus since 6.0.0, if QEMU is running as root, it will keep all
process capabilities. Behaviour when QEMU is running non-root
is unchanged, it still has no capabilities.
</p>
<h3><a id="securityselinux">SELinux basic confinement</a></h3>
<p>
The basic SELinux protection for QEMU virtual machines is intended to
protect the host OS from a compromised virtual machine process. There
is no protection between guests.
</p>
<p>
In the basic model, all QEMU virtual machines run under the confined
domain <code>root:system_r:qemu_t</code>. It is required that any
disk image assigned to a QEMU virtual machine is labelled with
<code>system_u:object_r:virt_image_t</code>. In a default deployment,
package vendors/distributor will typically ensure that the directory
<code>/var/lib/libvirt/images</code> has this label, such that any
disk images created in this directory will automatically inherit the
correct labelling. If attempting to use disk images in another
location, the user/administrator must ensure the directory has be
given this requisite label. Likewise physical block devices must
be labelled <code>system_u:object_r:virt_image_t</code>.
</p>
<p>
Not all filesystems allow for labelling of individual files. In
particular NFS, VFat and NTFS have no support for labelling. In
these cases administrators must use the 'context' option when
mounting the filesystem to set the default label to
<code>system_u:object_r:virt_image_t</code>. In the case of
NFS, there is an alternative option, of enabling the <code>virt_use_nfs</code>
SELinux boolean.
</p>
<h3><a id="securitysvirt">SELinux sVirt confinement</a></h3>
<p>
The SELinux sVirt protection for QEMU virtual machines builds to the
basic level of protection, to also allow individual guests to be
protected from each other.
</p>
<p>
In the sVirt model, each QEMU virtual machine runs under its own
confined domain, which is based on <code>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0</code>
with a unique category appended, eg, <code>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c34,c44</code>.
The rules are setup such that a domain can only access files which are
labelled with the matching category level, eg
<code>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c34,c44</code>. This prevents one
QEMU process accessing any file resources that are prevent to another QEMU
process.
</p>
<p>
There are two ways of assigning labels to virtual machines under sVirt.
In the default setup, if sVirt is enabled, guests will get an automatically
assigned unique label each time they are booted. The libvirtd daemon will
also automatically relabel exclusive access disk images to match this
label. Disks that are marked as &lt;shared&gt; will get a generic
label <code>system_u:system_r:svirt_image_t:s0</code> allowing all guests
read/write access them, while disks marked as &lt;readonly&gt; will
get a generic label <code>system_u:system_r:svirt_content_t:s0</code>
which allows all guests read-only access.
</p>
<p>
With statically assigned labels, the application should include the
desired guest and file labels in the XML at time of creating the
guest with libvirt. In this scenario the application is responsible
for ensuring the disk images &amp; similar resources are suitably
labelled to match, libvirtd will not attempt any relabelling.
</p>
<p>
If the sVirt security model is active, then the node capabilities
XML will include its details. If a virtual machine is currently
protected by the security model, then the guest XML will include
its assigned labels. If enabled at compile time, the sVirt security
model will always be activated if SELinux is available on the host
OS. To disable sVirt, and revert to the basic level of SELinux
protection (host protection only), the <code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code>
file can be used to change the setting to <code>security_driver="none"</code>
</p>
<h3><a id="securitysvirtaa">AppArmor sVirt confinement</a></h3>
<p>
When using basic AppArmor protection for the libvirtd daemon and
QEMU virtual machines, the intention is to protect the host OS
from a compromised virtual machine process. There is no protection
between guests.
</p>
<p>
The AppArmor sVirt protection for QEMU virtual machines builds on
this basic level of protection, to also allow individual guests to
be protected from each other.
</p>
<p>
In the sVirt model, if a profile is loaded for the libvirtd daemon,
then each <code>qemu:///system</code> QEMU virtual machine will have
a profile created for it when the virtual machine is started if one
does not already exist. This generated profile uses a profile name
based on the UUID of the QEMU virtual machine and contains rules
allowing access to only the files it needs to run, such as its disks,
pid file and log files. Just before the QEMU virtual machine is
started, the libvirtd daemon will change into this unique profile,
preventing the QEMU process from accessing any file resources that
are present in another QEMU process or the host machine.
</p>
<p>
The AppArmor sVirt implementation is flexible in that it allows an
administrator to customize the template file in
<code>/etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/TEMPLATE</code> for site-specific
access for all newly created QEMU virtual machines. Also, when a new
profile is generated, two files are created:
<code>/etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-&lt;uuid&gt;</code> and
<code>/etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-&lt;uuid&gt;.files</code>. The
former can be fine-tuned by the administrator to allow custom access
for this particular QEMU virtual machine, and the latter will be
updated appropriately when required file access changes, such as when
a disk is added. This flexibility allows for situations such as
having one virtual machine in complain mode with all others in
enforce mode.
</p>
<p>
While users can define their own AppArmor profile scheme, a typical
configuration will include a profile for <code>/usr/sbin/libvirtd</code>,
<code>/usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper</code> or
<code>/usr/libexec/virt-aa-helper</code>(a helper program which the
libvirtd daemon uses instead of manipulating AppArmor directly), and
an abstraction to be included by <code>/etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/TEMPLATE</code>
(typically <code>/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu</code>).
An example profile scheme can be found in the examples/apparmor
directory of the source distribution.
</p>
<p>
If the sVirt security model is active, then the node capabilities
XML will include its details. If a virtual machine is currently
protected by the security model, then the guest XML will include
its assigned profile name. If enabled at compile time, the sVirt
security model will be activated if AppArmor is available on the host
OS and a profile for the libvirtd daemon is loaded when libvirtd is
started. To disable sVirt, and revert to the basic level of AppArmor
protection (host protection only), the <code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code>
file can be used to change the setting to <code>security_driver="none"</code>.
</p>
<h3><a id="securityacl">Cgroups device ACLs</a></h3>
<p>
Linux kernels have a capability known as "cgroups" which is used
for resource management. It is implemented via a number of "controllers",
each controller covering a specific task/functional area. One of the
available controllers is the "devices" controller, which is able to
setup whitelists of block/character devices that a cgroup should be
allowed to access. If the "devices" controller is mounted on a host,
then libvirt will automatically create a dedicated cgroup for each
QEMU virtual machine and setup the device whitelist so that the QEMU
process can only access shared devices, and explicitly disks images
backed by block devices.
</p>
<p>
The list of shared devices a guest is allowed access to is
</p>
<pre>
/dev/null, /dev/full, /dev/zero,
/dev/random, /dev/urandom,
/dev/ptmx, /dev/kvm,
</pre>
<p>
In the event of unanticipated needs arising, this can be customized
via the <code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code> file.
To mount the cgroups device controller, the following command
should be run as root, prior to starting libvirtd
</p>
<pre>
mkdir /dev/cgroup
mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices
</pre>
<p>
libvirt will then place each virtual machine in a cgroup at
<code>/dev/cgroup/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME/</code>
</p>
<h2><a id="imex">Import and export of libvirt domain XML configs</a></h2>
<p>The QEMU driver currently supports a single native
config format known as <code>qemu-argv</code>. The data for this format
is expected to be a single line first a list of environment variables,
then the QEMu binary name, finally followed by the QEMU command line
arguments</p>
<h3><a id="xmlimport">Converting from QEMU args to domain XML</a></h3>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> this operation is <span class="removed"> deleted as of
5.5.0</span> and will return an error.
</p>
<p>
The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> provides a way to
convert an existing set of QEMU args into a guest description
using libvirt Domain XML that can then be used by libvirt.
Please note that this command is intended to be used to convert
existing qemu guests previously started from the command line to
be managed through libvirt. It should not be used a method of
creating new guests from scratch. New guests should be created
using an application calling the libvirt APIs (see
the <a href="apps.html">libvirt applications page</a> for some
examples) or by manually crafting XML to pass to virsh.
</p>
<h3><a id="xmlexport">Converting from domain XML to QEMU args</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh domxml-to-native</code> provides a way to convert a
guest description using libvirt Domain XML, into a set of QEMU args
that can be run manually. Note that currently the command line formatted
by libvirt is no longer suited for manually running qemu as the
configuration expects various resources and open file descriptors passed
to the process which are usually prepared by libvirtd.
</p>
<h2><a id="qemucommand">Pass-through of arbitrary qemu
commands</a></h2>
<p>Libvirt provides an XML namespace and an optional
library <code>libvirt-qemu.so</code> for dealing specifically
with qemu. When used correctly, these extensions allow testing
specific qemu features that have not yet been ported to the
generic libvirt XML and API interfaces. However, they
are <b>unsupported</b>, in that the library is not guaranteed to
have a stable API, abusing the library or XML may result in
inconsistent state the crashes libvirtd, and upgrading either
qemu-kvm or libvirtd may break behavior of a domain that was
relying on a qemu-specific pass-through. If you find yourself
needing to use them to access a particular qemu feature, then
please post an RFE to the libvirt mailing list to get that
feature incorporated into the stable libvirt XML and API
interfaces.
</p>
<p>The library provides two
API: <code>virDomainQemuMonitorCommand</code>, for sending an
arbitrary monitor command (in either HMP or QMP format) to a
qemu guest (<span class="since">Since 0.8.3</span>),
and <code>virDomainQemuAttach</code>, for registering a qemu
domain that was manually started so that it can then be managed
by libvirtd (<span class="since">Since 0.9.4</span>,
<span class="removed">removed as of 5.5.0</span>).
</p>
<p>Additionally, the following XML additions allow fine-tuning of
the command line given to qemu when starting a domain
(<span class="since">Since 0.8.3</span>). In order to use the
XML additions, it is necessary to issue an XML namespace request
(the special <code>xmlns:<i>name</i></code> attribute) that
pulls in <code>http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0</code>;
typically, the namespace is given the name
of <code>qemu</code>. With the namespace in place, it is then
possible to add an element <code>&lt;qemu:commandline&gt;</code>
under <code>domain</code>, with the following sub-elements
repeated as often as needed:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>qemu:arg</code></dt>
<dd>Add an additional command-line argument to the qemu
process when starting the domain, given by the value of the
attribute <code>value</code>.
</dd>
<dt><code>qemu:env</code></dt>
<dd>Add an additional environment variable to the qemu
process when starting the domain, given with the name-value
pair recorded in the attributes <code>name</code>
and optional <code>value</code>.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Example:</p><pre>
&lt;domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;QEMU-fedora-i686&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;219200&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type arch='i686' machine='pc'&gt;hvm&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;emulator&gt;/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64&lt;/emulator&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
&lt;qemu:commandline&gt;
&lt;qemu:arg value='-newarg'/&gt;
&lt;qemu:env name='QEMU_ENV' value='VAL'/&gt;
&lt;/qemu:commandline&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;
</pre>
<h2><a id="xmlnsfeatures">QEMU feature configuration for testing</a></h2>
<p>
In some cases e.g. when developing a new feature or for testing it may
be required to control a given qemu feature (or qemu capability) to test
it before it's complete or disable it for debugging purposes.
<span class="since">Since 5.5.0</span> it's possible to use the same
special qemu namespace as above
(<code>http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0</code>) and use
<code>&lt;qemu:capabilities&gt;</code> element to add
(<code>&lt;qemu:add capability="capname"/&gt;</code>) or remove
(<code>&lt;qemu:del capability="capname"/&gt;</code>) capability bits.
The naming of the feature bits is the same libvirt uses in the status
XML. Note that this feature is meant for experiments only and should
_not_ be used in production.
</p>
<p>Example:</p><pre>
&lt;domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;testvm&lt;/name&gt;
[...]
&lt;qemu:capabilities&gt;

<h1>Secret information management</h1>
<p>
The secrets driver in libvirt provides a simple interface for
storing and retrieving secret information.
</p>
<h2><a id="uris">Connections to SECRET driver</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt SECRET driver is a multi-instance driver, providing a single
system wide privileged driver (the "system" instance), and per-user
unprivileged drivers (the "session" instance). A connection to the secret
driver is automatically available when opening a connection to one of the
stateful primary hypervisor drivers. It is none the less also possible to
explicitly open just the secret driver, using the URI protocol "secret"
Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
secret:///session (local access to per-user instance)
secret+unix:///session (local access to per-user instance)
secret:///system (local access to system instance)
secret+unix:///system (local access to system instance)
secret://example.com/system (remote access, TLS/x509)
secret+tcp://example.com/system (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
secret+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
<h3><a id="uriembedded">Embedded driver</a></h3>
<p>
Since 6.1.0 the secret driver has experimental support for operating
in an embedded mode. In this scenario, rather than connecting to
the libvirtd daemon, the secret driver runs in the client application
process directly. To open the driver in embedded mode the app use the
new URI path and specify a virtual root directory under which the
driver will create content.
</p>
<pre>
secret:///embed?root=/some/dir
</pre>
<p>
Under the specified root directory the following locations will
be used
</p>
<pre>
/some/dir
|
+- etc
| |
| +- secrets
|
+- run
|
+- secrets
</pre>
<p>
The application is responsible for recursively purging the contents
of this directory tree once they no longer require a connection,
though it can also be left intact for reuse when opening a future
connection.
</p>
<p>
The range of functionality is intended to be on a par with that
seen when using the traditional system or session libvirt connections
to QEMU. Normal practice would be to open the secret driver in embedded
mode any time one of the other drivers is opened in embedded mode so
that the two drivers can interact in-process.

<h1>VirtualBox hypervisor driver</h1>
<p>
The libvirt VirtualBox driver can manage any VirtualBox version

(<span class="since">since libvirt 3.0.0</span>).

</li>
</ul>
<h2>Connections to VirtualBox driver</h2>
<p>
The libvirt VirtualBox driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance).
The uri of the driver protocol is "vbox". Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
vbox:///session (local access to per-user instance)
vbox+unix:///session (local access to per-user instance)
vbox+tcp://user@example.com/session (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
vbox+ssh://user@example.com/session (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
<p>
<strong>NOTE: as of libvirt 1.0.6, the VirtualBox driver will always
run inside the libvirtd daemon, instead of being built-in to the
libvirt.so library directly. This change was required due to the
fact that VirtualBox code is LGPLv2-only licensed, which is not
compatible with the libvirt.so license of LGPLv2-or-later. The
daemon will be auto-started when the first connection to VirtualBox
is requested. This change also means that it will not be possible
to use VirtualBox URIs on the Windows platform, until additional
work is completed to get the libvirtd daemon working there.</strong>

<h1>libxl hypervisor driver for Xen</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<p>
The libvirt libxl driver provides the ability to manage virtual
machines on any Xen release from 4.6.0 onwards.
</p>
<h2><a id="project">Project Links</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="https://www.xenproject.org">Xen</a>
hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a id="prereq">Deployment pre-requisites</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt libxl driver uses Xen's libxl API, also known as
libxenlight, to implement libvirt's hypervisor driver
functionality. libxl provides a consolidated interface for
managing a Xen host and its virtual machines, unlike old
versions of Xen where applications often had to communicate
with xend, xenstored, and the hypervisor itself via hypercalls.
With libxl the only pre-requisit is a properly installed Xen
host with the libxl toolstack running in a service domain
(often Domain-0).
</p>
<h2><a id="uri">Connections to libxl driver</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt libxl driver is a single-instance privileged driver,
with a driver name of 'xen'. Some example connection URIs for
the libxl driver are:
</p>
<pre>
xen:///system (local access, direct)
xen+unix:///system (local access, via daemon)
xen://example.com/system (remote access, TLS/x509)
xen+tcp://example.com/system (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
xen+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
<h2><a id="imex">Import and export of libvirt domain XML configs</a></h2>
<p>
The libxl driver currently supports three native
config formats. The first, known as <code>xen-xm</code>, is the
original Xen virtual machine config format used by the legacy
xm/xend toolstack. The second, known as <code>xen-sxpr</code>,
is also one of the original formats that was used by xend's
legacy HTTP RPC service (<span class='removed'>removed in 5.6.0</span>)
</p>
<p>
The third format is <code>xen-xl</code>, which is the virtual
machine config format supported by modern Xen. The <code>xen-xl</code>
format is described in the xl.cfg(5) man page.
</p>
<h3><a id="xmlimport">Converting from XM config files to domain XML</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> provides a way to convert an
existing set of xl, xm, or sxpr config files to libvirt Domain XML,
which can then be used by libvirt.
</p>
<pre>$ virsh -c xen:///system domxml-from-native xen-xm rhel5.cfg

<h3>Paravirtualized guest bootloader</h3>
<p>
Using a bootloader allows a paravirtualized guest to be booted using
a kernel stored inside its virtual disk image
</p>
<pre>&lt;domain type='xen' &gt;
&lt;name&gt;fc8&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;bootloader&gt;/usr/bin/pygrub&lt;/bootloader&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;linux&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;131072&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;vcpu&gt;1&lt;/vcpu&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;disk type='file'&gt;
&lt;source file='/var/lib/xen/images/fc4.img'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='sda1'/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
&lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
&lt;source bridge='xenbr0'/&gt;
&lt;mac address='aa:00:00:00:00:11'/&gt;
&lt;script path='/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;
&lt;console tty='/dev/pts/5'/&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;</pre>
<h3>Paravirtualized guest direct kernel boot</h3>
<p>
For installation of paravirtualized guests it is typical to boot the
domain using a kernel and initrd stored in the host OS
</p>
<pre>&lt;domain type='xen' &gt;
&lt;name&gt;fc8&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;linux&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;kernel&gt;/var/lib/xen/install/vmlinuz-fedora8-x86_64&lt;/kernel&gt;
&lt;initrd&gt;/var/lib/xen/install/initrd-vmlinuz-fedora8-x86_64&lt;/initrd&gt;
&lt;cmdline&gt; kickstart=http://example.com/myguest.ks &lt;/cmdline&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;131072&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;vcpu&gt;1&lt;/vcpu&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;disk type='file'&gt;
&lt;source file='/var/lib/xen/images/fc4.img'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='sda1'/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
&lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
&lt;source bridge='xenbr0'/&gt;
&lt;mac address='aa:00:00:00:00:11'/&gt;
&lt;script path='/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;
&lt;graphics type='vnc' port='-1'/&gt;
&lt;console tty='/dev/pts/5'/&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;</pre>
<h3>Fullyvirtualized guest BIOS boot</h3>
<p>
Fullyvirtualized guests use the emulated BIOS to boot off the primary
harddisk, CDROM or Network PXE ROM.
</p>
<pre>&lt;domain type='xen' id='3'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;fv0&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;4dea22b31d52d8f32516782e98ab3fa0&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;hvm&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;loader&gt;/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader&lt;/loader&gt;
&lt;boot dev='hd'/&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;524288&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;vcpu&gt;1&lt;/vcpu&gt;
&lt;on_poweroff&gt;destroy&lt;/on_poweroff&gt;
&lt;on_reboot&gt;restart&lt;/on_reboot&gt;
&lt;on_crash&gt;restart&lt;/on_crash&gt;
&lt;features&gt;
&lt;pae/&gt;
&lt;acpi/&gt;
&lt;apic/&gt;
&lt;/features&gt;
&lt;clock sync="localtime"/&gt;
&lt;devices&gt;
&lt;emulator&gt;/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm&lt;/emulator&gt;
&lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
&lt;source bridge='xenbr0'/&gt;
&lt;mac address='00:16:3e:5d:c7:9e'/&gt;
&lt;script path='vif-bridge'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;
&lt;disk type='file'&gt;
&lt;source file='/var/lib/xen/images/fv0'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='hda'/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
&lt;disk type='file' device='cdrom'&gt;
&lt;source file='/var/lib/xen/images/fc5-x86_64-boot.iso'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='hdc'/&gt;
&lt;readonly/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
&lt;disk type='file' device='floppy'&gt;
&lt;source file='/root/fd.img'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='fda'/&gt;
&lt;/disk&gt;
&lt;graphics type='vnc' port='5904'/&gt;
&lt;/devices&gt;
&lt;/domain&gt;</pre>
<h3>Fullyvirtualized guest direct kernel boot</h3>
<p>
With Xen 3.2.0 or later it is possible to bypass the BIOS and directly
boot a Linux kernel and initrd as a fullyvirtualized domain. This allows
for complete automation of OS installation, for example using the Anaconda
kickstart support.
</p>
<pre>&lt;domain type='xen' id='3'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;fv0&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;4dea22b31d52d8f32516782e98ab3fa0&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;os&gt;
&lt;type&gt;hvm&lt;/type&gt;
&lt;loader&gt;/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader&lt;/loader&gt;
&lt;kernel&gt;/var/lib/xen/install/vmlinuz-fedora8-x86_64&lt;/kernel&gt;
&lt;initrd&gt;/var/lib/xen/install/initrd-vmlinuz-fedora8-x86_64&lt;/initrd&gt;
&lt;cmdline&gt; kickstart=http://example.com/myguest.ks &lt;/cmdline&gt;
&lt;/os&gt;
&lt;memory&gt;524288&lt;/memory&gt;
&lt;vcpu&gt;1&lt;/vcpu&gt;
&lt;on_poweroff&gt;destroy&lt;/on_poweroff&gt;
&lt;on_reboot&gt;restart&lt;/on_reboot&gt;
&lt;on_crash&gt;restart&lt;/on_crash&gt;

<h1 >Handling of errors</h1>
<p>The main goals of libvirt when it comes to error handling are:</p>
<ul>
<li>provide as much detail as possible</li>
<li>provide the information as soon as possible</li>
<li>dont force the library user into one style of error handling</li>
</ul>
<p>As result the library provide both synchronous, callback based and
asynchronous error reporting. When an error happens in the library code the
error is logged, allowing to retrieve it later and if the user registered an
error callback it will be called synchronously. Once the call to libvirt ends
the error can be detected by the return value and the full information for
the last logged error can be retrieved.</p>
<p>To avoid as much as possible troubles with a global variable in a
multithreaded environment, libvirt will associate when possible the errors to
the current connection they are related to, that way the error is stored in a
dynamic structure which can be made thread specific. Error callback can be
set specifically to a connection with</p>
<p>So error handling in the code is the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>if the error can be associated to a connection for example when failing
to look up a domain
<ol><li>if there is a callback associated to the connection set with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virConnSetErrorFunc">virConnSetErrorFunc</a>,
call it with the error information</li><li>otherwise if there is a global callback set with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virSetErrorFunc">virSetErrorFunc</a>,
call it with the error information</li><li>otherwise call <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virDefaultErrorFunc">virDefaultErrorFunc</a>
which is the default error function of the library issuing the error
on stderr</li><li>save the error in the connection for later retrieval with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virConnGetLastError">virConnGetLastError</a></li></ol></li>
<li>otherwise like when failing to create a hypervisor connection:
<ol><li>if there is a global callback set with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virSetErrorFunc">virSetErrorFunc</a>,
call it with the error information</li><li>otherwise call <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virDefaultErrorFunc">virDefaultErrorFunc</a>
which is the default error function of the library issuing the error
on stderr</li><li>save the error in the connection for later retrieval with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virGetLastError">virGetLastError</a></li></ol></li>
</ol>
<p>In all cases the error information is provided as a <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virErrorPtr">virErrorPtr</a> pointer to
read-only structure <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virError">virError</a> containing the
following fields:</p>
<ul>
<li>code: an error number from the <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virErrorNumber">virErrorNumber</a>
enum</li>
<li>domain: an enum indicating which part of libvirt raised the error see
<a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virErrorDomain">virErrorDomain</a></li>
<li>level: the error level, usually VIR_ERR_ERROR, though there is room for
warnings like VIR_ERR_WARNING</li>
<li>message: the full human-readable formatted string of the error</li>
<li>conn: if available a pointer to the <a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectPtr">virConnectPtr</a>
connection to the hypervisor where this happened</li>
<li>dom: if available a pointer to the <a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainPtr">virDomainPtr</a> domain
targeted in the operation</li>
</ul>
<p>and then extra raw information about the error which may be initialized
to 0 or NULL if unused</p>
<ul>
<li>str1, str2, str3: string information, usually str1 is the error
message format</li>
<li>int1, int2: integer information</li>
</ul>
<p>So usually, setting up specific error handling with libvirt consist of
registering a handler with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virSetErrorFunc">virSetErrorFunc</a> or
with <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virConnSetErrorFunc">virConnSetErrorFunc</a>,
check the value of the code value, take appropriate action, if needed let
libvirt print the error on stderr by calling <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virDefaultErrorFunc">virDefaultErrorFunc</a>.
For asynchronous error handing, set such a function doing nothing to avoid
the error being reported on stderr, and call virConnGetLastError or
virGetLastError when an API call returned an error value. It can be a good
idea to use <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virResetLastError">virResetError</a> or <a href="html/libvirt-virterror.html#virConnResetLastError">virConnResetLastError</a>
once an error has been processed fully.</p>
<p>At the python level, there only a global reporting callback function at
this point, see the error.py example about it:</p>
<pre>def handler(ctxt, err):
global errno
#print "handler(%s, %s)" % (ctxt, err)
errno = err
libvirt.registerErrorHandler(handler, 'context') </pre>
<p>the second argument to the registerErrorHandler function is passed as the
first argument of the callback like in the C version. The error is a tuple
containing the same field as a virError in C, but cast to Python.</p>

<h1 >Firewall and network filtering in libvirt</h1>
<p>There are three pieces of libvirt functionality which do network
filtering of some type.
<br /><br />
At a high level they are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The virtual network driver
<br /><br />
This provides an isolated bridge device (ie no physical NICs
enslaved). Guest TAP devices are attached to this bridge.
Guests can talk to each other and the host, and optionally the
wider world.
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>The QEMU driver MAC filtering
<br /><br />
This provides a generic filtering of MAC addresses to prevent
the guest spoofing its MAC address. This is mostly obsoleted by
the next item, so won't be discussed further.
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>The network filter driver
<br /><br />
This provides fully configurable, arbitrary network filtering
of traffic on guest NICs. Generic rulesets are defined at the
host level to control traffic in some manner. Rules sets are
then associated with individual NICs of a guest. While not as
expressive as directly using iptables/ebtables, this can still
do nearly everything you would want to on a guest NIC filter.
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a id="fw-virtual-network-driver">The virtual network driver</a>
</h3>
<p>The typical configuration for guests is to use bridging of the
physical NIC on the host to connect the guest directly to the LAN.
In RHEL6 there is also the possibility of using macvtap/sr-iov
and VEPA connectivity. None of this stuff plays nicely with wireless
NICs, since they will typically silently drop any traffic with a
MAC address that doesn't match that of the physical NIC.
</p>
<p>Thus the virtual network driver in libvirt was invented. This takes
the form of an isolated bridge device (ie one with no physical NICs
enslaved). The TAP devices associated with the guest NICs are attached
to the bridge device. This immediately allows guests on a single host
to talk to each other and to the host OS (modulo host IPtables rules).
</p>
<p>libvirt then uses iptables to control what further connectivity is
available. There are three configurations possible for a virtual
network at time of writing:
</p>
<ul>
<li>isolated: all off-node traffic is completely blocked</li>
<li>nat: outbound traffic to the LAN is allowed, but MASQUERADED</li>
<li>forward: outbound traffic to the LAN is allowed</li>
</ul>
<p>The latter 'forward' case requires the virtual network be on a
separate sub-net from the main LAN, and that the LAN admin has
configured routing for this subnet. In the future we intend to
add support for IP subnetting and/or proxy-arp. This allows for
the virtual network to use the same subnet as the main LAN and
should avoid need for the LAN admin to configure special routing.
</p>
<p>Libvirt will optionally also provide DHCP services to the virtual
network using DNSMASQ. In all cases, we need to allow DNS/DHCP
queries to the host OS. Since we can't predict whether the host
firewall setup is already allowing this, we insert 4 rules into
the head of the INPUT chain
</p>
<pre>
target prot opt in out source destination
ACCEPT udp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53
ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53
ACCEPT udp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67
ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67</pre>
<p>Note we have restricted our rules to just the bridge associated
with the virtual network, to avoid opening undesirable holes in
the host firewall wrt the LAN/WAN.
</p>
<p>The next rules depend on the type of connectivity allowed, and go
in the main FORWARD chain:
</p>
<ul>
<li>type=isolated
<br /><br />
Allow traffic between guests. Deny inbound. Deny outbound.
<pre>
target prot opt in out source destination
ACCEPT all -- virbr1 virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
REJECT all -- * virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
REJECT all -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable</pre>
</li>
<li>type=nat
<br /><br />
Allow inbound related to an established connection. Allow
outbound, but only from our expected subnet. Allow traffic
between guests. Deny all other inbound. Deny all other outbound.
<pre>
target prot opt in out source destination
ACCEPT all -- * virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.122.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT all -- virbr0 * 192.168.122.0/24 0.0.0.0/0

<h3><a id="fw-firewalld-and-virtual-network-driver">firewalld and the virtual network driver</a>
</h3>
<p>
If <a href="https://firewalld.org">firewalld</a> is active on
the host, libvirt will attempt to place the bridge interface of
a libvirt virtual network into the firewalld zone named
"libvirt" (thus making all guest->host traffic on that network
subject to the rules of the "libvirt" zone). This is done
because, if firewalld is using its nftables backend (available
since firewalld 0.6.0) the default firewalld zone (which would
be used if libvirt didn't explicitly set the zone) prevents
forwarding traffic from guests through the bridge, as well as
preventing DHCP, DNS, and most other traffic from guests to
host. The zone named "libvirt" is installed into the firewalld
configuration by libvirt (not by firewalld), and allows
forwarded traffic through the bridge as well as DHCP, DNS, TFTP,
and SSH traffic to the host - depending on firewalld's backend
this will be implemented via either iptables or nftables
rules. libvirt's own rules outlined above will *always* be
iptables rules regardless of which backend is in use by
firewalld.
</p>
<p>
NB: It is possible to manually set the firewalld zone for a
network's interface with the "zone" attribute of the network's
"bridge" element.
</p>
<p>
NB: Prior to libvirt 5.1.0, the firewalld "libvirt" zone did not
exist, and prior to firewalld 0.7.0 a feature crucial to making
the "libvirt" zone operate properly (rich rule priority
settings) was not implemented in firewalld. In cases where one
or the other of the two packages is missing the necessary
functionality, it's still possible to have functional guest
networking by setting the firewalld backend to "iptables" (in
firewalld prior to 0.6.0, this was the only backend available).
</p>
<h3><a id="fw-network-filter-driver">The network filter driver</a>
</h3>
<p>This driver provides a fully configurable network filtering capability
that leverages ebtables, iptables and ip6tables. This was written by
the libvirt guys at IBM and although its XML schema is defined by libvirt,
the conceptual model is closely aligned with the DMTF CIM schema for
network filtering:
</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v2230/CIM_Network.pdf">http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v2230/CIM_Network.pdf</a></p>
<p>The filters are managed in libvirt as a top level, standalone object.
This allows the filters to then be referenced by any libvirt object
that requires their functionality, instead tying them only to use
by guest NICs. In the current implementation, filters can be associated
with individual guest NICs via the libvirt domain XML format. In the
future we might allow filters to be associated with the virtual network
objects. Further we're expecting to define a new 'virtual switch' object
to remove the complexity of configuring bridge/sriov/vepa networking
modes. This make also end up making use of network filters.
</p>
<p>There are a new set of virsh commands for managing network filters:</p>
<ul>
<li>virsh nwfilter-define
<br /><br />
define or update a network filter from an XML file
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>virsh nwfilter-undefine
<br /><br />
undefine a network filter
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>virsh nwfilter-dumpxml
<br /><br />
network filter information in XML
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>virsh nwfilter-list
<br /><br />
list network filters
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>virsh nwfilter-edit
<br /><br />
edit XML configuration for a network filter
</li>
</ul>
<p>There are equivalently named C APIs for each of these commands.</p>
<p>As with all objects libvirt manages, network filters are configured
using an XML format. At a high level the format looks like this:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;filter name='no-spamming' chain='XXXX'&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;d217f2d7-5a04-0e01-8b98-ec2743436b74&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;rule ...&gt;
....
&lt;/rule&gt;
&lt;filterref filter='XXXX'/&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;</pre>
<p>Every filter has a name and UUID which serve as unique identifiers.
A filter can have zero-or-more <code>&lt;rule&gt;</code> elements which
are used to actually define network controls. Filters can be arranged
into a DAG, so zero-or-more <code>&lt;filterref/&gt;</code> elements are
also allowed. Cycles in the graph are not allowed.
</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;rule&gt;</code> element is where all the interesting stuff
happens. It has three attributes, an action, a traffic direction and an
optional priority. E.g.:
</p>
<pre>&lt;rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='500'&gt;</pre>
<p>Within the rule there are a wide variety of elements allowed, which
do protocol specific matching. Supported protocols currently include
<code>mac</code>, <code>arp</code>, <code>rarp</code>, <code>ip</code>,
<code>ipv6</code>, <code>tcp/ip</code>, <code>icmp/ip</code>,
<code>igmp/ip</code>, <code>udp/ip</code>, <code>udplite/ip</code>,
<code>esp/ip</code>, <code>ah/ip</code>, <code>sctp/ip</code>,
<code>tcp/ipv6</code>, <code>icmp/ipv6</code>, <code>igmp/ipv6</code>,
<code>udp/ipv6</code>, <code>udplite/ipv6</code>, <code>esp/ipv6</code>,
<code>ah/ipv6</code>, <code>sctp/ipv6</code>. Each protocol defines what
is valid inside the &lt;rule&gt; element. The general pattern though is:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;protocol match='yes|no' attribute1='value1' attribute2='value2'/&gt;</pre>
<p>So, eg a TCP protocol, matching ports 0-1023 would be expressed as:</p>
<pre>&lt;tcp match='yes' srcportstart='0' srcportend='1023'/&gt;</pre>
<p>Attributes can included references to variables defined by the
object using the rule. So the guest XML format allows each NIC
to have a MAC address and IP address defined. These are made
available to filters via the variables <code><b>$IP</b></code> and
<code><b>$MAC</b></code>.
</p>
<p>So to define a filter that prevents IP address spoofing we can
simply match on source IP address <code>!= $IP</code> like this:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;filter name='no-ip-spoofing' chain='ipv4'&gt;
&lt;rule action='drop' direction='out'&gt;
&lt;ip match='no' srcipaddr='<b>$IP</b>' /&gt;
&lt;/rule&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;</pre>
<p>I'm not going to go into details on all the other protocol
matches you can do, because it'll take far too much space.
You can read about the options
<a href="formatnwfilter.html#nwfelemsRulesProto">here</a>.
</p>
<p>Out of the box in RHEL6/Fedora rawhide, libvirt ships with a
set of default useful rules:
</p>
<pre>
# virsh nwfilter-list

<p>Most of these are just building blocks. The interesting one here
is 'clean-traffic'. This pulls together all the building blocks
into one filter that you can then associate with a guest NIC.
This stops the most common bad things a guest might try, IP
spoofing, arp spoofing and MAC spoofing. To look at the rules for
any of these just do:
</p>
<pre>virsh nwfilter-dumpxml FILTERNAME|UUID</pre>
<p>They are all stored in <code>/etc/libvirt/nwfilter</code>, but don't
edit the files there directly. Use <code>virsh nwfilter-define</code>
to update them. This ensures the guests have their iptables/ebtables
rules recreated.
</p>
<p>To associate the clean-traffic filter with a guest, edit the
guest XML config and change the <code>&lt;interface&gt;</code> element
to include a <code>&lt;filterref&gt;</code> and also specify the
whitelisted <code>&lt;ip address/&gt;</code> the guest is allowed to
use:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
&lt;mac address='52:54:00:56:44:32'/&gt;
&lt;source bridge='br1'/&gt;
&lt;ip address='10.33.8.131'/&gt;
&lt;target dev='vnet0'/&gt;
&lt;model type='virtio'/&gt;
&lt;filterref filter='clean-traffic'/&gt;
&lt;/interface&gt;</pre>
<p>If no <code>&lt;ip address&gt;</code> is included, the network filter
driver will activate its 'learning mode'. This uses libpcap to snoop on
network traffic the guest sends and attempts to identify the
first IP address it uses. It then locks traffic to this address.
Obviously this isn't entirely secure, but it does offer some
protection against the guest being trojaned once up and running.
In the future we intend to enhance the learning mode so that it
looks for DHCPOFFERS from a trusted DHCP server and only allows
the offered IP address to be used.
</p>
<p>Now, how is all this implemented...?</p>
<p>The network filter driver uses a combination of ebtables, iptables and
ip6tables, depending on which protocols are referenced in a filter. The
out of the box 'clean-traffic' filter rules only require use of
ebtables. If you want to do matching at tcp/udp/etc protocols (eg to add
a new filter 'no-email-spamming' to block port 25), then iptables will
also be used.
</p>
<p>The driver attempts to keep its rules separate from those that
the host admin might already have configured. So the first thing
it does with ebtables, is to add two hooks in POSTROUTING and
PREROUTING chains, to redirect traffic to custom chains. These
hooks match on the TAP device name of the guest NIC, so they
should not interact badly with any administrator defined rules:
</p>
<pre>
Bridge chain: PREROUTING, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-i vnet0 -j libvirt-I-vnet0
Bridge chain: POSTROUTING, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-o vnet0 -j libvirt-O-vnet0</pre>
<p>To keep things manageable and easy to follow, the driver will then
create further sub-chains for each protocol then it needs to match
against:
</p>
<pre>
Bridge chain: libvirt-I-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j I-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j I-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j I-vnet0-rarp
-p 0x835 -j ACCEPT
-j DROP
Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 4, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
-j DROP</pre>
<p>Finally, here comes the actual implementation of the filters. This
example shows the 'clean-traffic' filter implementation.
I'm not going to explain what this is doing now. :-)
</p>
<pre>
Bridge chain: I-vnet0-ipv4, entries: 2, policy: ACCEPT
-s ! 52:54:0:56:44:32 -j DROP
-p IPv4 --ip-src ! 10.33.8.131 -j DROP
Bridge chain: O-vnet0-ipv4, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-j ACCEPT
Bridge chain: I-vnet0-arp, entries: 6, policy: ACCEPT
-s ! 52:54:0:56:44:32 -j DROP
-p ARP --arp-mac-src ! 52:54:0:56:44:32 -j DROP
-p ARP --arp-ip-src ! 10.33.8.131 -j DROP
-p ARP --arp-op Request -j ACCEPT
-p ARP --arp-op Reply -j ACCEPT
-j DROP
Bridge chain: O-vnet0-arp, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p ARP --arp-op Reply --arp-mac-dst ! 52:54:0:56:44:32 -j DROP
-p ARP --arp-ip-dst ! 10.33.8.131 -j DROP
-p ARP --arp-op Request -j ACCEPT
-p ARP --arp-op Reply -j ACCEPT
-j DROP
Bridge chain: I-vnet0-rarp, entries: 2, policy: ACCEPT
-p 0x8035 -s 52:54:0:56:44:32 -d Broadcast --arp-op Request_Reverse --arp-ip-src 0.0.0.0 --arp-ip-dst 0.0.0.0 --arp-mac-src 52:54:0:56:44:32 --arp-mac-dst 52:54:0:56:44:32 -j ACCEPT
-j DROP
Bridge chain: O-vnet0-rarp, entries: 2, policy: ACCEPT
-p 0x8035 -d Broadcast --arp-op Request_Reverse --arp-ip-src 0.0.0.0 --arp-ip-dst 0.0.0.0 --arp-mac-src 52:54:0:56:44:32 --arp-mac-dst 52:54:0:56:44:32 -j ACCEPT
-j DROP</pre>
<p>NB, we would have liked to include the prefix 'libvirt-' in all
of our chain names, but unfortunately the kernel limits names
to a very short maximum length. So only the first two custom
chains can include that prefix. The others just include the
TAP device name + protocol name.
</p>
<p>If I define a new filter 'no-spamming' and then add this to the
'clean-traffic' filter, I can illustrate how iptables usage works:
</p>
<pre>
# cat &gt; /root/spamming.xml &lt;&lt;EOF
&lt;filter name='no-spamming' chain='root'&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;d217f2d7-5a04-0e01-8b98-ec2743436b74&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='500'&gt;
&lt;tcp dstportstart='25' dstportend='25'/&gt;
&lt;/rule&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;
EOF
# virsh nwfilter-define /root/spamming.xml
# virsh nwfilter-edit clean-traffic</pre>
<p>...add <code>&lt;filterref filter='no-spamming'/&gt;</code></p>
<p>All active guests immediately have their iptables/ebtables rules
rebuilt.
</p>
<p>The network filter driver deals with iptables in a very similar
way. First it separates out its rules from those the admin may
have defined, by adding a couple of hooks into the INPUT/FORWARD
chains:
</p>
<pre>
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 13M packets, 21G bytes)
target prot opt in out source destination
libvirt-host-in all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 5532K packets, 3010M bytes)
target prot opt in out source destination
libvirt-in all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
libvirt-out all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
libvirt-in-post all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0</pre>
<p>These custom chains then do matching based on the TAP device
name, so they won't open holes in the admin defined matches for
the LAN/WAN (if any).
</p>
<pre>
Chain libvirt-host-in (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
HI-vnet0 all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0
Chain libvirt-in (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
FI-vnet0 all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0
Chain libvirt-in-post (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
ACCEPT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0
Chain libvirt-out (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
FO-vnet0 all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-out vnet0</pre>
<p>Finally, we can see the interesting bit which is the actual
implementation of my filter to block port 25 access:
</p>
<pre>
Chain FI-vnet0 (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
DROP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:25
Chain FO-vnet0 (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
DROP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:25
Chain HI-vnet0 (1 references)
target prot opt in out source destination
DROP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:25</pre>
<p>One thing in looking at this you may notice is that if there
are many guests all using the same filters, we will be duplicating
the iptables rules over and over for each guest. This is merely a
limitation of the current rules engine implementation. At the libvirt
object modelling level you can clearly see we've designed the model
so filter rules are defined in one place, and indirectly referenced
by guests. Thus it should be possible to change the implementation in
the future so we can share the actual iptables/ebtables rules for
each guest to create a more scalable system. The stuff in current libvirt
is more or less the very first working implementation we've had of this,
so there's not been much optimization work done yet.
</p>
<p>Also notice that at the XML level we don't expose the fact we
are using iptables or ebtables at all. The rule definition is done in
terms of network protocols. Thus if we ever find a need, we could
plug in an alternative implementation that calls out to a different
firewall implementation instead of ebtables/iptables (providing that
implementation was suitably expressive of course)
</p>
<p>Finally, in terms of problems we have in deployment. The biggest
problem is that if the admin does <code>service iptables restart</code>
all our work gets blown away. We've experimented with using lokkit
to record our custom rules in a persistent config file, but that
caused different problem. Admins who were not using lokkit for
their config found that all their own rules got blown away. So
we threw away our lokkit code. Instead we document that if you
run <code>service iptables restart</code>, you need to send SIGHUP to
libvirt to make it recreate its rules.
