With libvirt in place, this isn't enough - libvirt also keep VM
configuration in its memory and adjusting xenstore doesn't change that.
In fact changing xenstore behind it back make it even worse in some
situations.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1426
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
vm.kernel property have type 'str'. Putting None there makes a lot of
troubles: it gets encoded as 'None' in qubes.xml and then loaded back as
'None' string, not None value. Also it isn't possible to assign None
value to str property throgh Admin API.
kernel='' is equally good to specify "no kernel from dom0".
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
While libvirt handle locking itself, there is also Qubes-specific
startup part. Especially starting qrexec-daemon and waiting until
qrexec-agent connect to it. When someone will attempt to start VM the
second time (or simply assume it's already running) - qrexec will not be
connected yet and the operation will fail. Solve the problem by wrapping
the whole vm.start() function with a lock, including a check if VM is
running and waiting for qrexec.
Also, do not throw exception if VM is already running.
This way, after a call to vm.start(), VM will be started with qrexec
connected - regardless of who really started it.
Note that, it will not solve the situation when someone check if VM is
running manually, like:
if not vm.is_running():
yield from vm.start()
Such code should be changed to simply:
yield from vm.start()

And place them in /qubes-service/ QubesDB directory. This allows
extensions to easily store some data not exposed to VM, but also have
control what VM will see. And at the same time, it make it compatible
with existing services framework
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1637
Setting VMProperty to None VM should be encoded as '' value (according
to VMProperty._none_value). But value validation rejected this value.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
Implement this in two parts:
1. Permissions checks, getting a path from appropriate storage pool
2. Actual data import
The first part is done by qubesd in a standard way, but then, instead of
accepting all the data (which may be several GB), return a path to which
a shell script (in practice: `dd` command) will write the data.
Then the script call back to qubesd again to report success/failure and
qubesd response from that call is actually returned to the user.
This way we do not pass all the data through qubesd, but still can
control the process from there in a meaningful way. Note that the last
part (second call to qubesd) may perform all kind of verification (like
a signature check on the data, or so) and can also prevent VM from
starting (hooking also domain-pre-start event) from not verified image.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
Allow importing not only from another volume, but also raw data. In
practice, for all currently implemented storage pools, this is the same
as Pool.export, because path returned there is read-write. But lets not
abuse this fact, some future implementation may need different methods.

Remove debug prints, log full traceback (of handled exception) only when
debug mode enabled (--debug, introduce in this commit too).
--debug option also enables sending tracebacks to the API clients.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
Accessing non-existing property is a common action (for example
hasattr() do try to access the property). So, introduce specific
exception, inheriting from AttributeError. It will behave very similar
to standard (non-Admin-API) property access.
This exception is reported to the Admin API user, so it will be possible
to distinguish between non-existing property and access denied. But it
isn't any significant information leak, as list of valid properties is
publicly available in the source code.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
Use '<option name="option_name">option_value</option>' instead of
'<options option_name="option_value"/>'. It's more consistent with the
rest of qubes.xml - have one thing per element.
Also, add options deserialization test.
When libvirt domain is not defined, it isn't running for sure.
This commit fixes the case when vm.is_running() appears anywhere in the
code used during libvirt xml building. In this case, it's mostly about
PCI device description for libvirt.
Make it easy to retrieve DeviceInfo object out of DeviceAssignment
object. The only missing piece of information for that is device class,
so add it. Make it optional, as it can be filled on demand when passing
the object through DeviceCollection (either by listing devices, or
attaching/detaching).
This is mostly to ease handling options in libvirt template - to get
them, you need to use `assignments()`, istead of `persistent()` or
`attached()`, but there were no _simple_ way of getting actual device
object.
This also makes DeviceCollection._device method not needed anymore.
