ad9d8dbcae parallels: handle network adapters of type 'routed'
Network adapters of type 'routed' is a special case. Other adapters
have 'network' parameter in prlctl's output instead.

Routed network adapters should be connected to 'routed' network
from libvirt's view.

84f0a0b8f2 parallels: add routed pseudo network
Historically if traffic from the adapter is routed to LAN without
NAT, it isn't connected to any virtual networks, but has a 'type'
instead. Sinse libvirt has special virtual network type for such case,
let's add pseudo network 'routed' to fit libvirt's API well.

6034ce3130 parallels: add network driver
Parallels Cloud Server uses virtual networks model for network
configuration. It uses own tools for virtual network management.
So add network driver, which will be responsible for listing
virtual networks and performing different operations on them
(in consequent patched).

This patch only allows listing virtual network names, without
any parameters like DHCP server settings.

Allow changing network interfaces in domain configuration.

ifname is used as iterface identifier: if there is interface
with some ifname in old config and there are no interfaces with
such name in the new config - issue prlctl command to delete
the network interface. And vice versa - if interface with
some ifname exists only in new config - issue prlctl command
to create it.

8b32c80df0 network: put dnsmasq parameters in conf-file instead of command line
This patch changes how parameters are passed to dnsmasq.  Instead of
being on the command line, the parameters are put into a file (one
parameter per line) and a commandline --conf-file= specifies the
location of the file.  The file is located in the same directory as
the leases file.

Putting the dnsmasq parameters into a configuration file
allows them to be examined and more easily understood than
examining the command lines displayed by "ps ax".  This is
especially true when a number of networks have been started.

When the use of dnsmasq was originally done, the required command line
was simple, but it has gotten more complicated over time and will
likely become even more complicated in the future.

Note: The test conf files have all been renamed .conf instead of
.argv, and tests/networkxml2xmlargvdata was moved to
tests/networkxml2xmlconfdata.

2d5cd1d724 network: add support for DHCPv6
The DHCPv6 support includes IPV6 dhcp-range and dhcp-host for one
IPv6 subnetwork on one interface.  This support will only work
if dnsmasq version >= 2.64; otherwise an error occurs if
dhcp-range or dhcp-host is specified for an IPv6 address.

Essentially, this change provides the same DHCP support for IPv6
that has been available for IPv4.

With dnsmasq >= 2.64, support for the RA service is also now provided
by dnsmasq (radvd is no longer used/started). (Although at least one
version of dnsmasq prior to 2.64 "supported" IPv6 Router
Advertisement, there were bugs (fixed in 2.64) that rendered it
unusable.)

Documentation and the network schema has been updated
to reflect the new support.

71e30eff46 conf: split <forward> parser/clear into separate functions

47c94b6563 conf: put data for network <forward> element into its own struct
The attributes of a <network> element's <forward> element were
previously stored directly in the virNetworkDef object, but
virNetworkUpdateForward() needs to operate on a <forward> in
isolation, so this patchs pulls out all those attributes into a
separate virNetworkForwardDef struct (and shortens their names
appropriately). This new object is contained in the virNetworkDef, not
pointed to by it, so there is no extra memory management.

This patch makes no functional changes, it only changes, e.g.,
"nForwardIfs" to "forward.nifs".

fc19a00597 network: backend functions for updating network dns host/srv/txt
These three functions are very similar - none allow a MODIFY
operation; you can only add or delete.

The biggest difference between them (other than the data itself) is in
the criteria for determining a match, and whether or not multiple
matches are possible:

1) for HOST records, it's considered a match if the IP address or any
of the hostnames of an existing record matches.

2) for SRV records, it's a match if all of
domain+service+protocol+target *which have been specified* are
matched.

3) for TXT records, there is only a single field to match - name
(value can be the same for multiple records, and isn't considered a
search term), so by definition there can be no ambiguous matches.

In all three cases, if any matches are found, ADD will fail; if
multiple matches are found, it means the search term was ambiguous,
and a DELETE will fail.

The upper level code in bridge_driver.c is already implemented for
these functions - appropriate conf files will be re-written, and
dnsmasq will be SIGHUPed or restarted as appropriate.

ab297becc1 conf: clear and parse functions for dns host/srv/txt records
Since there is only a single virNetworkDNSDef for any virNetworkDef,
and it's trivial to determine whether or not it contains any real
data, it's much simpler (and fits more uniformly with the parse
function calling sequence of the parsers for many other objects that
are subordinates of virNetworkDef) if virNetworkDef *contains* an
virNetworkDNSDef rather than pointing to one.

Since it is now just a part of another object rather than its own
object, it no longer makes sense to have a *Free() function, so that
is changed to a *Clear() function.

More importantly though, ParseXML and Clear functions are needed for
the individual items contained in a virNetworkDNSDef (srv, txt, and
host records), but none of them have a *Clear(), and only two of the
three had *ParseXML() functions (both of which used a non-uniform
arglist). Those problems are cleared up by this patch - it splits the
higher-level Clear function into separate functions for each of the
three, creates a parse for txt records, and cleans up the srv and host
parsers, so we now have all the utility functions necessary to
implement virNetworkDefUpdateDNS(Host|Srv|Txt).

instances in virNetworkDNSDef, to be more compact and uniform with the

from unsigned int to size_t, so that they can be used directly as args
to VIR_*_ELEMENT.

85b22f528f util: add VIR_(APPEND|INSERT|DELETE)_ELEMENT
I noticed when writing the backend functions for virNetworkUpdate that
I was repeating the same sequence of memmove, VIR_REALLOC, nXXX-- (and
messed up the args to memmove at least once), and had seen the same
sequence in a lot of other places, so I decided to write a few
utility functions/macros - see the .h file for full documentation.

The intent is to reduce the number of lines of code, but more
importantly to eliminate the need to check the element size and
element count arithmetic every time we need to do this (I *always*
make at least one mistake.)

VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT: insert one element at an arbitrary index within an
  array of objects. The size of each object is determined
  automatically by the macro using sizeof(*array). The new element's
  contents are copied into the inserted space, then the original copy
  of contents are 0'ed out (if everything else was
  successful). Compile-time assignment and size compatibility between
  the array and the new element is guaranteed (see explanation below
  [*])

VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT_COPY: identical to VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT, except that
  the original contents of newelem are not cleared to 0 (i.e. a copy
  is made).

VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT: This is just a special case of VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT
  that "inserts" one past the current last element.

VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT_COPY: identical to VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT, except that
  the original contents of newelem are not cleared to 0 (i.e. a copy
  is made).

VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT: delete one element at an arbitrary index within an
  array of objects. It's assumed that the element being deleted is
  already saved elsewhere (or cleared, if that's what is appropriate).

All five of these macros have an _INPLACE variant, which skips the
memory re-allocation of the array, assuming that the caller has
already done it (when inserting) or will do it later (when deleting).

Note that VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT* can return a failure, but only if an
invalid index is given (index + amount to delete is > current array
size), so in most cases you can safely ignore the return (that's why
the helper function virDeleteElementsN isn't declared with
ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK). A warning is logged if this ever happens,
since it is surely a coding error.

[*] One initial problem with the INSERT and APPEND macros was that,
due to both the array pointer and newelem pointer being cast to void*
when passing to virInsertElementsN(), any chance of type-checking was
lost. If we were going to move in newelem with a memmove anyway, we
would be no worse off for this. However, most current open-coded
insert/append operations use direct struct assignment to move the new
element into place (or just populate the new element directly) - thus
use of the new macros would open a possibility for new usage errors
that didn't exist before (e.g. accidentally sending &newelemptr rather
than newelemptr - I actually did this quite a lot in my test
conversions of existing code).

But thanks to Eric Blake's clever thinking, I was able to modify the
INSERT and APPEND macros so that they *do* check for both assignment
and size compatibility of *ptr (an element in the array) and newelem
(the element being copied into the new position of the array). This is
done via clever use of the C89-guaranteed fact that the sizeof()
operator must have *no* side effects (so an assignment inside sizeof()
is checked for validity, but not actually evaluated), and the fact
that virInsertElementsN has a "# of new elements" argument that we
want to always be 1.

8b9bf7879b Add support for offline migration
Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.

Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).

e5577872cb qemu: eliminate bogus error log when changing netdev's bridge
This fixes a problem that showed up during testing of:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881480

Due to a logic error in the function that gets the name of the bridge
an interface connects to, any time a bridge was specified directly
(type='bridge') rather than indirectly (type='network'), An error
would be logged (although the operation would then complete
successfully):

   Network type 6 is not supported

The final virReportError() in the function
qemuDomainNetGetBridgeName() was apparently avoided in the past with a
"goto cleanup" at the end of each case, but the case of bridge somehow
no longer has that final goto cleanup.

The proper solution is anyway to not rely on goto's, but put the error
log inside an else {} clause, so that it's executed only if the type
is neither bridge nor network (in reality, this function should only
ever be called for those two types, that's why this is an internal
error).

While making this change, the error message was also tuned to be more
correct (since it's not really the type of the network, but the type
of the interface, and it *is* otherwise supported, it's just that the
interface type in question doesn't *have* a bridge device associated
with it, or at least we don't know how to get it).

« The formulation given above under "RETURN VALUE" is from POSIX.1-2001.
It  does  not  call  "not  found"  an error, hence does not specify what
value errno might have in this situation.  But that makes it impossible to
recognize errors.  One might argue that according to POSIX errno should be
left unchanged if an entry is not found.  Experiments on various UNIX-like
systems shows that lots of different values occur in this situation: 0,

is non-0. However on my RHEL system, getgrnam_r returns ENOENT when the
requested user cannot be found, which then causes virGetGroupID not
to behave as documented (it returns an error instead of falling back
to parsing the passed-in value as an gid).

This commit makes virGetGroupIDByName only report an error when errno
is set to one of the values in the posix description of getgrnam_r
(which are the same as the ones described in the manpage on my system).

6c6c03dc0e util: Don't fail virGetUserIDByName when user not found
virGetUserIDByName is documented as returning 1 if the username
cannot be found. getpwnam_r is documented as returning:
« 0 or ENOENT or ESRCH or EBADF or EPERM or ...  The given name
or uid was not found. »
 and that:
« The formulation given above under "RETURN VALUE" is from POSIX.1-2001.
It  does  not  call  "not  found"  an error, hence does not specify what
value errno might have in this situation.  But that makes it impossible to
recognize errors.  One might argue that according to POSIX errno should be
left unchanged if an entry is not found.  Experiments on various UNIX-like
systems shows that lots of different values occur in this situation: 0,
ENOENT, EBADF, ESRCH, EWOULDBLOCK, EPERM and probably others. »
