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.
There is intentionally no default template in terms of qubes.property
definition, to not cause problems when switching global default_template
property - like breaking some VMs, or forcing the user to shutdown all
of them for this. But this also means it shouldn't be allowed to reset
template to "default" value, because it will result in a VM without
template at all.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3115
'dispvm_allowed' name was confusing, because it suggested being able to
spawn new DispVMs, not being a template for DispVM.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3047
Clone properties from DispVM template after setting base properties
(qid, name, uuid). This means we can use standard clone_properties()
function. Otherwise various setters may fail - for example
netvm setter require uuid property initialized (for VM lookup in VM
collection).
Also, make dispvm_allowed check more robust - include direct creation of
DispVM, and also check just before VM startup (if property was changed
in the meantime).
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3057
Add auto_cleanup property, which remove DispVM after its shutdown
- this is to unify DispVM handling - less places needing special
handling after DispVM shutdown.
New DispVM inherit all settings from respective AppVM. Move this from
classmethod `DispVM.from_appvm()`, to DispVM constructor. This unify
creating new DispVM with any other VM class.
Notable exception are attached devices - because only one running VM can
have a device attached, this would prevent second DispVM started from
the same AppVM. If one need DispVM with some device attached, one can
create DispVM with auto_cleanup=False. Such DispVM will still not have
persistent storage (as any other DispVM).
Tests included.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2974
Don't set 'source' volume in various places (each VM class constructor
etc), do it as part of volume initialization. And when it needs to be
re-calculated, call storage.init_volume again.
This code was duplicated, and as usual in such a case, those copies
were different - one have set 'size', the other one not.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
Since we have app.default_pool* properties, create appropriately named
pool and let those properties choose the right pool. This also means we
don't need to specify pool name in default volume config anymore
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
Specify empty 'source' field, so it gets filled with appropriate
template's images. Then also fix recursive 'source' handling - DispVM
root volume should point at TemplateVM's root volume as a source, not a
AppVM's one - which is also only a snapshot.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#2896
Always define those properties, always include them in volume config.
Also simplify overriding pool based on volume type defined by those:
override pool unless snap_on_start=True.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
- kernel volume shouldn't have snap_on_start, it's read-only volume
anyway
- root volume of AppVM should have placeholder for 'source'
- private volume of AppVM should _not_ have placeholder for 'source'
(it's ignored anyway, because snap_on_start=False)
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
Re-init volume config of all 'snap_on_start' volumes at template
chanage. For this, save original volume config and re-use
config_volume_from_source function introduced in previous commit.
At the same time, forbid changing template of running AppVM or any
DispVM.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
qvm-ls tool (as all other tools) will be accessing properties through
API, so no need (nor sense) for this tool-specific attributes in
qubes.property. The only somehow used was ls_width, and in fact it made
the output unnecessary wide.
The tool itself is already moved to core-mgmt-client repository.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
- DispVM is no longer a special case for storage
- Add missing 'rw=True' for volatile volume
- Handle storage initialization (copy&paste from AppVM)
- Clone properties from DispVM template
