With one owner per VM, the VM page and a user's page counted the VM's
owners and then added one in separate steps, so two owners added at the
same moment both found the VM without one, and it got two. The check
and the insert now run in one transaction that holds the ownership lock
(PostgreSQL's advisory lock; SQLite's IMMEDIATE transactions already
serialize them): the second waits for the first and is refused. The
audit row is written after the transaction, so a failure keeps its row.
A tombstone kept the VM's name and UUID but not its compute, so the page
could not say where the VM had been. It now stores the compute's name (as
text: the compute may be the one deleted) and the list shows it; records
made before this have no host. Deleting a record says so, and the admin
tables use scope="col" instead of the invalid span="col".
Closes#217
Operations on a VM now write their rows the way the admin audit does: one
row per operation, done or failed with a safe reason, with the user, IP and
host. Each row names the VM ("VM web-1: delete snapshot snap1") and carries
its UUID in the new Logs.instance_uuid column.
- audit_vm and failed_vm wrap audit() and failed() for a VM. A failure the
view turns into a message is caught outside the block, so its failed row
is written; busy claims, permission and quota refusals and invalid input
write nothing. No password, key or XML goes into a row.
- All VM page operations move from addlogmsg to audit_vm, and addlogmsg
goes. QoS changes and defining a VM from XML are logged now; a gstfsd
error reply (root password, SSH key) is a failed row, not a done one.
- Partial results are rows of their own: the VM delete, then each disk
delete; the disk detach, then the volume delete; the migration, then a
failed autostart restore, NVRAM removal or record on the target.
- Migration rows use the compute name as the host column, as every other
row does.
- VM job rows (create, clone, snapshots) and their resolutions carry the
VM's UUID; snapshot job intents now record it. The owner rows of the VM
page and the accounts pages, and the ownership system rows, carry it too.
- The Logs tab loads vm_logs/<pk>/ and shows the rows with the VM's UUID,
so a rename keeps the history, two VMs with one name are told apart and
a VM on two computes is one VM. It gains a Result column. Rows from
before this change have no UUID and stay on the Logs page only.

Two computes decide the owners of the same UUID: the one the VM left
buries them in a tombstone (or a compute delete does), the one it went
to restores them. On PostgreSQL the two ran at once: the restore still
saw the old row of the uncommitted bury, skipped, and the VM ended up
without owners while the tombstone stayed. SQLite was never affected:
its IMMEDIATE transactions take the write lock at the start.
The reconcile and the compute delete now take one transaction-level
advisory lock (pg_advisory_xact_lock) when their database step starts,
so ownership decisions run one after another on PostgreSQL as they do
on SQLite. Reading libvirt stays outside the lock.
The Logs page shows who added, changed or deleted a compute, from web
or API, and every login, failed login, lockout and logout, with the
client address and a Result column (Done, Failed, Unknown for older
rows). A failed change is recorded with its reason and the error still
reaches the user; a refused one is recorded too.
- logs.audit.write saves each row in its own savepoint and never
raises, so a log write cannot break or undo the action it records.
The audit() context manager writes one row when the change ends.
- Logs gains success and ip; user, host and instance are wider and
date is indexed. The page orders by date then id.
- A compute edit names the changed fields; an edit that changes
nothing writes no row, and an empty password field is no change.
- A compute's VMs leaving the panel get a system row each: owners
kept on the Removed VMs page, moved to another compute, restored,
left without owners, or the removed record expired.
- Job rows carry the result. A job's log entry that cannot be
computed is logged and skipped instead of rolling back the finish
(test_service.py changes this on purpose).
- Logins are recorded by signal receivers; CustomLoginView is removed
and the plain LoginView is used. A wrong OTP code is a failed login,
counted by django-axes toward the lockout.
Panel records and host-side objects follow in the next layers.
Deleting a compute removed its VMs from the panel together with their
owners, while the VMs kept running on the host: added again, the host's
VMs came back with no owners. A compute's delete now treats each VM as
one that left its compute: its owners follow the same UUID on another
compute or wait in a tombstone for the retention period. One function,
forget(), does this for the refresh and for the delete; the API's
compute delete goes through the same model delete.
The delete holds the compute exclusive and locks its row before its
VMs', as the reconcile does: a reconcile, VM operation or job on the
compute makes it busy instead of losing owners to a concurrent restore
or deadlocking with it.

refresh_instance_database opened the transaction first and then asked
libvirt for the domain list. A host that goes silent on an established
connection keeps that call waiting until keepalive gives up (30 s). On
SQLite, the default database, the open transaction holds a read lock,
so every other write of the app failed meanwhile with "database is
locked", logins (session writes) included. Reproduced in the test
setup: with a relay to a TCP compute frozen after connecting, three
session writes during the 30 s refresh each failed after 5 s.
- The connection check and listAllDomains run before the transaction,
still under the compute lock, so create, delete and migration of the
compute stay excluded as before.
- The transaction only applies the changes. It checks the compute row
first: a compute deleted while libvirt was asked gets no instances
(this ended in a foreign key error before).
A failed listing still leaves the database untouched. With the change,
the same reproduction writes the sessions at once and keeps the
instances. Both new tests fail on the previous code.
Comments, docstrings and live test names cited item IDs of a roadmap
that is not part of the repository. They now say what is meant, or
nothing where the sentence stands without them. Test assertions and
behavior are unchanged.
The sync deleted the Instance of every VM missing from its compute, and
its owners and rights went with it. A VM moved with virsh, or undefined
and defined again, came back with no owner.
Now, when a VM disappears from a compute:
- if the same UUID is recorded on another compute, it moved: its owners
and template flag go there;
- otherwise they are kept in an InstanceTombstone and restored when the
UUID appears again within INSTANCE_OWNERSHIP_RETENTION_DAYS (30).
A UUID recorded on two computes at the same time is a copy and gets no
owners. VMs deleted through WebVirtCloud leave no tombstone.
Disk edits:
- edit_disk built a new <disk> from the form and replaced the old one,
losing what the form does not show (e.g. encryption and virtio
driver options); a bus change detached and re-attached the disk.
The disk of the persistent definition is now edited in place and the
domain defined once; a bus change picks a free device name and drops
the old address and virtio-only options. Pending persistent changes of
a running VM are kept.
- Clone omits empty disk devices, refuses a disk without a supported
source and destination, and checks the name before allocating storage.
Locks:
- Every VM change held its compute's exclusive lock, so one slow
operation blocked all VMs on that compute. A VM change now holds its
own VM lock plus a shared compute lock; reconciliation, migration and
cloning hold the compute exclusively (two clones of different VMs
must not pass the name check together).
- Quota-checked changes of one user (CPU, memory and disk resize,
clone) run one at a time under a per-user lock, also across computes,
so concurrent requests cannot all pass the check against the old
allocation. It is the outermost lock; superusers, who have no quota,
skip it.
- A busy lock answers 409 to the API and a message in the web UI. API
power and destroy actions return the view's error instead of success.
