After lot of testing it does not work properly. Could do something more
sophisticated but since calling save() is safe and probably lightweigth it is
not worth probably.
Some handlers may want to call into other VMs (or even the one asking),
but vm.run() functions are coroutines, so needs to be called from
another coroutine. Allow for that.
Also fix typo in documentation.
Some kernels (like pvgrub2) may not provide modules.img and it isn't an
error. Don't break VM startup in that case, skip that device instead.

"Cannot execute qrexec-daemon!" error is very misleading for a startup
timeout error, make it clearer. This rely on qrexec-daemon using
distinct exit code for timeout error, but even without that, include its
stderr in the error message.

Using '$' is easy to misuse in shell scripts, shell commands etc. After
all this years, lets abandon this dangerous character and move to
something safer: '@'. The choice was made after reviewing specifications
of various shells on different operating systems and this is the
character that have no special meaning in none of them.
To preserve compatibility, automatically translate '$' to '@' when
loading policy files.
If revisions_to_keep is 0, it may nevertheless have been > 0 before, so
it makes sense to call _remove_revisions() and hold back none (not all)
of the revisions in this case.

This adds the file-reflink storage driver. It is never selected
automatically for pool creation, especially not the creation of
'varlibqubes' (though it can be used if set up manually).
The code is quite small:
reflink.py lvm.py file.py + block-snapshot
sloccount 334 lines 447 (134%) 570 (171%)
Background: btrfs and XFS (but not yet ZFS) support instant copies of
individual files through the 'FICLONE' ioctl behind 'cp --reflink'.
Which file-reflink uses to snapshot VM image files without an extra
device-mapper layer. All the snapshots are essentially freestanding;
there's no functional origin vs. snapshot distinction.
In contrast to 'file'-on-btrfs, file-reflink inherently avoids
CoW-on-CoW. Which is a bigger issue now on R4.0, where even AppVMs'
private volumes are CoW. (And turning off the lower, filesystem-level
CoW for 'file'-on-btrfs images would turn off data checksums too, i.e.
protection against bit rot.)
Also in contrast to 'file', all storage features are supported,
including
- any number of revisions_to_keep
- volume.revert()
- volume.is_outdated
- online fstrim/discard
Example tree of a file-reflink pool - *-dirty.img are connected to Xen:
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/volatile-dirty.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/root-dirty.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/root.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private-dirty.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img@2018-01-02T03:04:05Z
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img@2018-01-02T04:05:06Z
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img@2018-01-02T05:06:07Z
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/bar/...
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/...
- /var/lib/testpool/template-vms/fedora-26/...
- /var/lib/testpool/template-vms/...
It looks similar to a 'file' pool tree, and in fact file-reflink is
drop-in compatible:
$ qvm-shutdown --all --wait
$ systemctl stop qubesd
$ sed 's/ driver="file"/ driver="file-reflink"/g' -i.bak /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml
$ systemctl start qubesd
$ sudo rm -f /path/to/pool/*/*/*-cow.img*
If the user tries to create a fresh file-reflink pool on a filesystem
that doesn't support reflinks, qvm-pool will abort and mention the
'setup_check=no' option. Which can be passed to force a fallback on
regular sparse copies, with of course lots of time/space overhead. The
same fallback code is also used when initially cloning a VM from a
foreign pool, or from another file-reflink pool on a different
mountpoint.
'journalctl -fu qubesd' will show all file-reflink copy/rename/remove
operations on VM creation/startup/shutdown/etc.
When some expiring rules are present, it is necessary to reload firewall
when those rules expire. Previously systemd timer was used to trigger
this action, but since we have own daemon now, it isn't necessary
anymore - use this daemon for that.
Additionally automatically removing expired rules was completely broken
in R4.0.

Even when volume is not persistent (like TemplateBasedVM:root), it
should be resizeable. Just the new size, similarly to the volume
content, will be reverted after qube shutdown.
Additionally, when VM is running, volume resize should affect _only_ its
temporary snapshot. This way resize can be properly reverted together
with actual volume changes (which include resize2fs call).

1. Make sure VMs are started after dom0 actual memory usage is reported
to qmemman, otherwise dom0 will hold 4GB, even if just a little over 1GB
is needed at that time.
2. Request only vm.memory MB from qmemman, instead of vm.maxmem. While
HVM with PCI devices indeed do not support populate-on-demand, this is
already handled in libvirt XML.
The later may often cause VM startup fail on systems with 8GB of memory,
because maxmem is 4GB there and with dom0 keeping the other 4GB (see
point 1) there is not enough memory to start any sych VM.

qmemman: request VMs balloon down with 16MB safety margin
qmemman: clear "not responding" flags when VM require more memory
qmemman: slightly improve logging
qmemman: reformat code, especially comments
Human readable format `str(datetime.datetime)` is a nightmare for Admin
API level communication. Especially setting the property in a format
that it was read was not supported, and handling such format in
untrusted input handling code is a bad idea. Revert to a simple intiger
format.
It looks like Linux balloon driver do not always precisely respect
requested target memory, but perform some rounding. Also, in some cases
(HVM domains), VM do not see all the memory that Xen have assigned to it
- there are some additional Xen pools for internal usage.
Include 16MB safety margin in memory requests to account for those two
things. This will avoid setting "no_response" flag for most of VMs.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3265
Clear slow_memset_react/no_progress flags when VM request more memory
than it have assigned. If there is some available, it may be given to
such VM, solving the original problem (not reacting to balloon down
request). In any case, qmemman algorithm should not try to take away
memory from under-provisioned VM.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3265
Add logging more info about each domain state:
- last requested target
- no_progress and slow_memset_react flags
This makes it unnecessary to log separately when those flags are cleared.
Rename events:
- domain-feature-set -> domain-feature-set:feature
- domain-feature-delete -> domain-feature-delete:feature
- domain-tag-add -> domain-tag-add:tag
- domain-tag-delete -> domain-tag-delete:tag
Make it consistent with property-* events. It makes more sense to
include tag/feature name in event name, so handler can watch a single
tag/feature - which is the most common case. Otherwise, most handlers
would begin with `if feature == '...'` anyway, wasting time on most
events.
In cases where multiple features/tags should be handled by a single
handler, it is now possible to register a handler with wildcard, for
example `domain-feature-set:*`.
Support registering handlers for more flexible wildcard events: not only
'*', but also 'something*'. This allows to register handlers for
'property-set:*' and such.
When creating a new VM of type DispVM without specifying any template
(e.g. "qvm-create --class DispVM --label red foo"), use default_dispvm.
Otherwise it would fail saying "Got empty response from qubesd."
Load integration tests from outside of core-admin repository, through
entry points.
Create wrapper for VM object to keep very basic compatibility with tests
written for core2. This means if test use only basic functionality
(vm.start(), vm.run()), the same test will work for both core2 and
core3. This is especially important for app-* repositories, where the
same version serves multiple Qubes branches.
This also hides asyncio usage from tests writer.
See QubesOS/qubes-issues#1800 for details on original feature.
Test base functions of dom0 module (creating VM, setting property) and
configuring system inside of VM (through DispVM). The later is done for
each available template (the process use salt installed in that
template, not copied from dom0).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3316
When dom0 do not provide the kernel, it should also not set kernel
command line in libvirt config. Otherwise qemu in stubdom fails to start
because it get -append option without -kernel, which is illegal
configuration.

There may be cases when VM providing the network to other VMs is started
later - for example VM restart. While this is rare case (and currently
broken because of QubesOS/qubes-issues#1426), do not assume it will
always be the case.
Add property for IPv6 address ('ip6'). Build default value similarly to
IPv4 - common prefix + QID or Disp ID (for DispVMs).
This all is disabled unless 'ipv6' feature is enabled. It is inherited
from netvm (not template).
Even when enabled, VM may decide to not use it - or simply not support
it.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#718
Allow using default feature value from netvm, not template. This makes
sense for network-related features like using tor, supporting ipv6 etc.
Similarly to check_with_template, expose it also on Admin API.
Having both default_netvm and default_fw_netvm cause a lot of confusion,
because it isn't clear for the user which one is used when. Additionally
changing provides_network property may also change netvm property, which
may be unintended effect. This as a whole make it hard to:
- cover all netvm-changing actions with policy for Admin API
- cover all netvm-changing events (for example to apply the change to
the running VM, or to check for netvm loops)
As suggested by @qubesuser, kill the default_fw_netvm property and
simplify the logic around it.
Since we're past rc1, implement also migration logic. And add tests for
said migration.

There were many cases were the check was missing:
- changing default_netvm
- resetting netvm to default value
- loading already broken qubes.xml
Since it was possible to create broken qubes.xml using legal calls, do
not reject loading such file, instead break the loop(s) by setting netvm
to None when loop is detected. This will be also useful if still not all
places are covered...
Place the check in default_netvm setter. Skip it during qubes.xml loading
(when events_enabled=False), but still keep it in setter, to _validate_ the
value before any property-* event got fired.
If HVM have PCI device, it can't use PoD, so need 'maxmem' memory to be
started. Request that much from qmemman.
Note that is is somehow independent of enabling or not dynamic memory
management for the VM (`service.meminfo-writer` feature). Even if VM
initially had assigned maxmem memory, it can be later ballooned down.

currently it takes 100ms+ to determine the default pool every time,
including subprocess spawning (!), which is unacceptable since
finding out the default value of properties should be instantaneous
instead of checking every thin pool to see if the root device is in
it, find and cache the name of the root device thin pool and see if
there is a configured pool with that name
xterm is very fast on closing when application inside terminates. It is
so fast with closing on keydown event that xdotool do not manage to send
keyup event, resulting in xdotool crash. Add a little more time for
that.
When writing process returns an error, prefer reporting that one,
instead of other process (which in most cases will be canceled, so
the error will be meaningless CancelledError).
Then, include sanitized stderr from VM process in the error message.
This object is used solely for manipulating qubes.xml for the backup. Do
not open any connection to hypervisor/QubesDB/libvirt etc. This will
help avoiding various leaks (memory, FD).
Do not try to access that particular object (wrapper) when it got
undefined. If anyone want to access it, appropriate code should do a new
lookup, and probably re-define the object.
Those "errors" are already properly handled, and if necessary logged
independently by appropriate function. In some cases, such logs are
misleading (for example QubesNoSuchPropertyError is a normal thing
happening during qvm-ls).
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3238
Besides converting itself, change how the test verify restore
correctness: first collect VM metadata (and hashes of data) into plain
dict, then compare against it. This allow to destroy old VMs objects
before restoring the backup, so avoid having duplicate objects of the
same VM - which results in weird effects like trying to undefine libvirt
object twice.
Point to system logs for more details. Do not include them directly in
the message for privacy reasons (Admin API client may not be given
permission to it).

This one pool/volume property makes sense to change dynamically. There

blacklisting any harmful ones.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3256
Do not check for accepted value only in constructor, do that in property
setter. This will allow enforcing the limit regardless of how the value

This is preparation for dynamic revisions_to_keep change.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3256
The previous version did not ensure that the stopped/shutdown event was
handled before a new VM start. This can easily lead to problems like in
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3164.
This improved version now ensures that the stopped/shutdown events are
handled before a new VM start.
Additionally this version should be more robust against unreliable
events from libvirt. It handles missing, duplicated and delayed stopped
events.
Instead of one 'domain-shutdown' event there are now 'domain-stopped'
and 'domain-shutdown'. The later is generated after the former. This way
it's easy to run code after the VM is shutdown including the stop of
it's storage.
If domain got removed during the tests (for example DispVM), vm.close()
wouldn't be called in cleanup and some file descriptors will be
leaked. Add event handler for cleaning this up. Do not use close()
method here, because it is destructive, but the object may still be used
by the test.
1. Fire both property-pre-del:netvm and property-del:netvm - those
events should be fired in pairs - especially one may assume the other
will be called too. This is the case here - one disconnect old netvm,
the other connect the new one.
2. Remove spurious 'newvalue' argument for property-del:netvm event.
3. Fix logic for default_fw_netvm/default_netvm usage. The former is
used if vm.provides_network=True.
If there was some netvm set, unset it first (same as with ordinary set).
Otherwise it will try to attach new netvm without detaching the old one
first.
oldvalue should contain the old value, even if it was default one. Same
as in property-(pre-)set events. If event want to check if that is
default value, it is always possible (in pre- event), but in practice
actual value is most useful.
This bug prevented netvm changing events from working when reseting
netvm.
Allow to get default value even it isn't set currently. This will allow
(G)UI to present better view, without duplicating logic for default
value.
