742d49fa17 qemu-command: introduce new vgamem attribute for QXL video device
Add attribute to set vgamem_mb parameter of QXL device for QEMU. This
value sets the size of VGA framebuffer for QXL device. Default value in
QEMU is 8MB so reuse it also in libvirt to not break things.

81ba2298b2 video: cleanup usage of vram attribute and update documentation
The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.

The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

401702d92e docs: Document NVRAM behavior on transient domains
Since 1.2.8 it's possible to use OVMF on domains. Moreover, it's
possible to have libvirt create NVRAM file per domain. Later,
when domain is undefined, the file is removed too. However,
things are a bit complicated when domain's transient. There's no
undefine to transient domains. There are two options: 1) leave
the file behind and let mgmt app remove it. 2) remove it
automatically as domain dies.
But, in some scenarios mgmt app may want to preserve the file,
copy it somewhere safe, and then copy it back when the domain is
starting again. And this wouldn't be possible with case 2). So,
even though case 1) leaves some files behind (possibly undeleted
for a long time), the files themselves are small (128K each). And
data loss is worse than full disk, isn't it?

cdbb21bc59 drvbhyve: Use boot-order for grub-bhyve boot device
Rather than just picking the first CD (or failing that, HDD) we come
across, if the user has picked a boot device ordering with <boot
order=''>, respect that (and just try to boot the lowest-index device).

Adds two sets of tests to bhyve2xmlargv; 'grub-bootorder' shows that we
pick a user-specified device over the first device in the domain;
'grub-bootorder2' shows that we pick the first (lowest index) device.

5530f248db storage: Introduce 'managed' for the fchost parent
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160926

Introduce a 'managed' attribute to allow libvirt to decide whether to
delete a vHBA vport created via external means such as nodedev-create.
The code currently decides whether to delete the vHBA based solely on
whether the parent was provided at creation time. However, that may not
be the desired action, so rather than delete and force someone to create
another vHBA via an additional nodedev-create allow the configuration of
the storage pool to decide the desired action.

During createVport when libvirt does the VPORT_CREATE, set the managed
value to YES if not already set to indicate to the deleteVport code that
it should delete the vHBA when the pool is destroyed.

If libvirtd is restarted all the memory only state was lost, so for a
persistent storage pool, use the virStoragePoolSaveConfig in order to
write out the managed value.

Because we're now saving the current configuration, we need to be sure
to not save the parent in the output XML if it was undefined at start.
Saving the name would cause future starts to always use the same parent
which is not the expected result when not providing a parent. By not
providing a parent, libvirt is expected to find the best available
vHBA port for each subsequent (re)start.

At deleteVport, use the new managed value to decide whether to execute
the VPORT_DELETE.  Since we no longer save the parent in memory or in
XML when provided, if it was not provided, then we have to look it up.

42a021c120 storage: Ensure fc_host parent matches wwnn/wwpn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160565

The existing code assumed that the configuration of a 'parent' attribute
was correct for the createVport path. As it turns out, that may not be
the case which leads errors during the deleteVport path because the
wwnn/wwpn isn't associated with the parent.

With this change the following is reported:

error: Failed to start pool fc_pool_host3
error: XML error: Parent attribute 'scsi_host4' does not match parent 'scsi_host3' determined for the 'scsi_host16' wwnn/wwpn lookup.

for XML as follows:

  <pool type='scsi'>
    <name>fc_pool</name>
    <source>
      <adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host4' wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
    </source>

Where 'nodedev-dumpxml scsi_host16' provides:

  <device>
    <name>scsi_host16</name>
    <path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:10:00.0/host3/vport-3:0-11/host16</path>
    <parent>scsi_host3</parent>

        <wwpn>5001a4a77192b864</wwpn>
...

The patch also adjusts the description of the storage pool to describe the
restrictions.

17722c169c bhyve: Support /domain/bootloader configuration for non-FreeBSD guests.
We still default to bhyveloader(1) if no explicit bootloader
configuration is supplied in the domain.

If the /domain/bootloader looks like grub-bhyve and the user doesn't
supply /domain/bootloader_args, we make an intelligent guess and try
chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists,
under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source).

Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is
a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload
already assumes that the first disk should be booted.)

I've tested both HDD and CD boot and they seem to work.

CPU numa topology implicitly allows memory specification in 'KiB'.

Enabling this to accept the 'unit' in which memory needs to be specified.
This now allows users to specify memory in units of choice, and
lists the same in 'KiB' -- just like other 'memory' elements in XML.

    <numa>
      <cell cpus='0-3' memory='1024' unit='MiB' />
      <cell cpus='4-7' memory='1024' unit='MiB' />

07450cd429 conf: add trustGuestRxFilters attribute to network and domain interface
This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.

The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable
places of existing test files.

This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices.  This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.

In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:

- For shmem device using a server:

 <shmem name='shmem0'>
   <server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
   <size unit='M'>32</size>
   <msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
 </shmem>

- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:

 <shmem name='shmem1'>
   <size unit='M'>32</size>
 </shmem>

Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:

 <shmem name='shmem1/>
 <shmem name='shmem2'>
   <server/>
 </shmem>

The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to
assign each iothread to a specific CPU, although iothreads ids start
at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.

When spanning tree protocol is allowed in bridge settings, forward delay

numerical value.

Note: However, even if you provide positive  numerical value, brctl
utility only uses values from range <2,30>, so the number provided can
be modified (kernel most likely) to fall within this range.

742b08e30f qemu: Automatically create NVRAM store
When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.

Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

68bf13dbef conf: Extend <loader/> and introduce <nvram/>
Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.

Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files

The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

0257d06ba4 storage: ZFS support
Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.

Features supported:

 - pool-start, pool-stop
 - pool-info
 - vol-list
 - vol-create / vol-delete

Pool definition looks like that:

 <pool type='zfs'>
  <name>myzfspool</name>
  <source>
    <name>actualpoolname</name>
  </source>
 </pool>

The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.

User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.

A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:

    <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
      <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>

Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the

the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).

The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:

  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
    <source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>

      </auth>
    </source>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='2' unit='5'/>
  </hostdev>

adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>.  Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit).  It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

9a212d6708 blockcopy: add more XML for state tracking
Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment.  In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job.  Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.

A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion.  But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job.  Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job.  Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.

Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

a4bd62adc1 storage: Introduce parentaddr into virStoragePoolSourceAdapter
Between reboots and kernel reloads, the SCSI host number used for SCSI
storage pools may change requiring modification to the storage pool XML
in order to use a specific SCSI host adapter.

This patch introduces the "parentaddr" element and "unique_id" attribute
for the SCSI host adapter in order to uniquely identify the adapter
between reboots and kernel reloads. For now the goal is to only parse
and format the XML. Both will be required to be provided in order to
uniquely identify the desired SCSI host.

The new XML is expected to be as follows:

  <adapter type='scsi_host'>
    <parentaddr unique_id='3'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' func='0x2'/>
    </parentaddr>
  </adapter>

where "parentaddr" is the parent device of the SCSI host using the PCI
address on which the device resides and the value from the unique_id file
for the device. Both the PCI address and unique_id values will be used
to traverse the /sys/class/scsi_host/ directories looking at each link
to match the PCI address reformatted to the directory link format where
"domain🚌slot:function" is found.  Then for each matching directory
the unique_id file for the scsi_host will be used to match the unique_id
value in the xml.

For a PCI address listed above, this will be formatted to "0000:00:1f.2"
and the links in /sys/class/scsi_host will be used to find the host#
to be used for the 'scsi_host' device. Each entry is a link to the
/sys/bus/pci/devices directories, e.g.:

%  ls -al /sys/class/scsi_host/host2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun  1 00:22 /sys/class/scsi_host/host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host2/scsi_host/host2

% cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/unique_id
3

The "parentaddr" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parentaddr" element will be the preferred
mechanism.

This patch only supports to parse and format the XMLs. Later patches will
add code to find out the scsi host number.

a9fd30e633 storagevol: add nocow to vol xml
Add 'nocow' to storage volume xml so that user can have an option
to set NOCOW flag to the newly created volume. It's useful on btrfs
file system to enhance performance.

Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this
bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there
are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow,
then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.

This patch tries the second way, according to 'nocow' option, it could set
NOCOW flag per file:
for raw file images, handle 'nocow' in libvirt code; for non-raw file images,
pass 'nocow=on' option to qemu-img, and let qemu-img to handle that (requires
qemu-img version >= 2.1).

9b291bbe20 docs: publish correct enum values
We publish libvirt-api.xml for others to use, and in fact, the
libvirt-python bindings use it to generate python constants that
correspond to our enum values.  However, we had an off-by-one bug
that any enum that relied on C's rules for implicit initialization
of the first enum member to 0 got listed in the xml as having a
value of 1 (and all later members of the enum were equally
botched).

The fix is simple - since we add one to the previous value when
encountering an enum without an initializer, the previous value
must start at -1 so that the first enum member is assigned 0.

The python generator code has had the off-by-one ever since DV
first wrote it years ago, but most of our public enums were immune
because they had an explicit = 0 initializer.  The only affected
enums are:
- virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType (such as
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4), since commit 987e31e
(libvirt v0.8.0)
- virDomainCoreDumpFormat (such as VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_FORMAT_RAW),
since commit 9fbaff0 (libvirt v1.2.3)
- virIPAddrType (such as VIR_IP_ADDR_TYPE_IPV4), since commit
03e0e79 (not yet released)

3db89662c2 virInterface: Expose link state & speed
Currently it is not possible to determine the speed of an interface
and whether a link is actually detected from the API. Orchestrating
platforms want to be able to determine when the link has failed and
where multiple speeds may be available which one the interface is
actually connected at. This commit introduces an extension to our
interface XML (without implementation to interface driver backends):

  <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'>
    <start mode='none'/>
    <mac address='aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'/>
    <link speed='1000' state='up'/>
    <mtu size='1492'/>
    ...
  </interface>

Where @speed is negotiated link speed in Mbits per second, and state
is the current NIC state (can be one of the following:  "unknown",
"notpresent", "down", "lowerlayerdown","testing", "dormant", "up").

7c6fc3948e conf: alter disk mirror xml output
Now that we track a disk mirror as a virStorageSource, we might
as well update the XML to theoretically allow any type of
mirroring destination (not just a local file).  A later patch
will also be reusing <mirror> to track the block commit of the
top layer of a chain, which is another case where libvirt needs
to update the backing chain after the job is finally pivoted,
and since backing chains can have network backing files as the
destination to commit into, it makes more sense to display that
in the XML.

This patch changes output-only XML; it was already documented
that <mirror> does not affect a domain definition at this point
(because qemu doesn't provide persistent bitmaps yet).  Any
application that was starting a block copy job with older libvirt
and then relying on the domain XML to determine if it was
complete will no longer be able to access the file= and format=
attributes of mirror that were previously used.  However, this is
not going to be a problem in practice: the only time a block copy
job works is on a transient domain, and any app that is managing
a transient domain probably already does enough of its own
bookkeeping to know which file it is mirroring into without
having to re-read it from the libvirt XML.  The one thing that
was likely to be used in a mirroring job was the ready=
attribute, which is unchanged.  Meanwhile, I made sure the schema
and parser still accept the old format, even if we no longer
output it, so that upgrading from an older version of libvirt is
seamless.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (diskMirror): Alter definition.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskDefParseXML): Parse two
styles of mirror elements.

1c70277886 nodedev: Export NUMA node locality for PCI devices
A PCI device can be associated with a specific NUMA node. Later, when
a guest is pinned to one NUMA node the PCI device can be assigned on
different NUMA node. This makes DMA transfers travel across nodes and
thus results in suboptimal performance. We should expose the NUMA node
locality for PCI devices so management applications can make better
decisions.

            <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
            <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='2'/>
          </cpus>
        </cell>
        <cell id='1'>
          <memory unit='KiB'>4030064</memory>
          <distances>
            <sibling id='0' value='20'/>
            <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          </distances>
          <cpus num='2'>
            <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='1'/>
            <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='3'/>
          </cpus>
        </cell>
      </cells>
    </topology>
    ...

We can see the distance from node1 to node0 is 20 and within nodes 10.

0f1a0fff0e apibuild: Disallow 'returns' return description
Our documentation generator is a bit messy, to say the least. For
instance, the description to return values of a function is
searched within C comment. Currently, all lines that start with
'returns' or 'Returns' are viewed as return value description.
However, there are some valid uses where the 'returns' word is in
the middle of a sentence describing function behavior not the
return value. And there are no places where 'returns' is used to
describe return values.  For instance:
virDomainDetachDeviceFlags, virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny and
virDomainGetDiskErrors. This leads to HTML documemtation being
generated incorrectly.

a2e369bc00 conf: Output disk backing store details in domain XML
The XML for quite a longish backing chain is shown below:

  <disk type='network' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
    <source protocol='nbd' name='bar'>
      <host transport='unix' socket='/var/run/nbdsock'/>

        <format type='qcow2'/>
        <source file='/tmp/image2.qcow'/>
        <backingStore type='file' index='3'>
          <format type='qcow2'/>
          <source file='/tmp/image3.qcow'/>
          <backingStore type='file' index='4'>
            <format type='qcow2'/>
            <source file='/tmp/image4.qcow'/>
            <backingStore type='file' index='5'>
              <format type='qcow2'/>
              <source file='/tmp/image5.qcow'/>
              <backingStore type='file' index='6'>
                <format type='raw'/>
                <source file='/tmp/Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso'/>
                <backingStore/>
              </backingStore>
            </backingStore>
          </backingStore>
        </backingStore>
      </backingStore>
    </backingStore>
    <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

Various disk types and formats can be mixed in one chain. The
<backingStore/> empty element marks the end of the backing chain and it
is there mostly for future support of parsing the chain provided by a
user. If it's missing, we are supposed to probe for the rest of the
chain ourselves, otherwise complete chain was provided by the user. The
index attributes of backingStore elements can be used to unambiguously
identify a specific part of the image chain.

369cdfa8f5 conf: set up for per-grammar overrides in schemas
This patch is my first experience playing with nested grammars,
as documented in http://relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html#IDA3PZR.
I plan on doing more overrides in order to make the RelaxNG
grammar mirror the C code refactoring into a common
virStorageSource, but where different clients of that source do
not support the same subset of functionality.  By starting with
something fairly easy to validate, I can make sure my later
patches will be possible.

This patch adds a use of the no-op <ref
name='sourceStartupPolicy'/> to the disksnapshot definition, so
that the snapshot version of a type='file' <source> more closely
resembles the version in domaincommon.  A future patch will merge
the two files into using a common define, but this patch is
sufficient for testing that adding <source
startupPolicy='optional'/> in any of the
tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlin/*.xml files still gets rejected
unless it occurs within the <domain> subelement, because the
definition of startupPolicy is empty outside of domain.rng.

Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into
a storage format that permits a backing chain, since the new

a9efe2d70c conf: better <disk> interleaving in schema
In general, we try to make virt-xml-validate tolerant of input
elements in any order when possible.  However, as written, the
RNG grammar did not permit <source> unless there was an explicit
type= attribute (even though the C code manages just fine by
defaulting to type='file').  After making the attribute optional
on the 'file' branch, I noticed that the use of diskspec was now
redundant with the branch when no <source> was supplied.

schema change.

0f6c50b9b6 gluster: Fix "key" attribute for gluster volumes
According to our documentation the "key" value has the following
meaning: "Providing an identifier for the volume which identifies a
single volume." The currently used keys for gluster volumes consist of
the gluster volume name and file path. This can't be considered unique
as a different storage server can serve a volume with the same name.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out a way to retrieve the gluster
volume UUID which would avoid the possibility of having two distinct
keys identifying a single volume.

Use the full URI as the key for the volume to avoid the more critical
ambiguity problem and document the possible change to UUID.

c0c8c1d7bb Remove global log buffer feature entirely
A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.

The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas

b9dd878ff8 util: make it easier to grab only regular command exit
Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations.  Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit.  Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big.  And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.

So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

When probing QEMU capabilities fails for a binary generate a
log message with MESSAGE_ID==8ae2f3fb-2dbe-498e-8fbd-012d40afa361.

This can be directly queried from journald based on the UUID

7eb37a0d65 bandwidth: Adjust documentation
Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').

The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.

Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.

This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.

590029f672 Introduce new OOM testing support
The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is  (n * (n + 1) ) / 2.  This gets very large, very
quickly.

This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.

The simple usage is

   $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
   ...
   29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc                                         ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france                                      ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
   ...

the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.

If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
  30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK
