abca72faa4 qemu: Support multiqueue virtio-blk
qemu 2.7.0 introduces multiqueue virtio-blk(commit 2f27059).
This patch introduces a new attribute "queues". An example of
the XML:

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' queues='4'/>

The corresponding QEMU command line:

-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,num-queues=4,id=virtio-disk0

f170548502 util: Add TLS attributes to virStorageSource
Add an optional virTristateBool haveTLS to virStorageSource to
manage whether a storage source will be using TLS.

Sample XML for a VxHS disk:

<disk type='network' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source protocol='vxhs' name='eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251' tls='yes'>
    <host name='192.168.0.1' port='9999'/>
  </source>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>

Additionally add a tlsFromConfig boolean to control whether the TLS
setting was due to domain configuration or qemu.conf global setting
in order to decide whether to Format the haveTLS setting for either
a live or saved domain configuration file.

Update the qemuxml2xmltest in order to add a test to show the proper
parsing.

Also update the docs to describe the tls attribute.

This reverts commit edaf4ebe95.

This uses "reconnect" as attribute for <source> element, but we already

Since this is the same feature for different device it should be

9eba116817 news: remove kernel version reference from switchdev entry
The functionality was added in 4.8, but due to a rename of
the DEVLINK_CMD_ESWITCH_GET constant in the kernel headers,
the headers from kernel 4.11 are required by the libvirt code.

Remove the reference from the news entry, since it could be
misleading.

f34fdd5ab6 python: Don't hardcode interpreter path
This is particularly useful on operating systems that don't ship
Python as part of the base system (eg. FreeBSD) while still working

While at it, make it explicit that our scripts are only going to
work with Python 2, and remove the usage of unbuffered I/O, which
as far as I can tell has no effect on the output files.

8708ca01c0 nodedev: add switchdev to NIC capabilities
Adding functionality to libvirt that will allow querying the interface
for the availability of switchdev Offloading NIC capabilities.

The switchdev mode was introduced in kernel 4.8, the iproute2-devlink
command to retrieve the switchdev NIC feature with command example:

    devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0

This feature is needed for Openstack so we can do a scheduling decision
if the NIC is in Hardware Offload (switchdev) or regular SR-IOV (legacy) mode.
And select the appropriate hypervisors with the requested capability see [1].

4775ca27e9 docs: Remove unnecessary <auth> example for iscsi disk type='volume'
Alter the example to remove the <auth> from:

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source pool='iscsi-pool' volume='unit:0:0:1' mode='host'/>

    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source pool='iscsi-pool' volume='unit:0:0:2' mode='direct'/>
    <auth username='myuser'>
      <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
    </auth>
    <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.

The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally
would be added "myname:encodedpassword@" prior to the hostname in
the IQN (e.g. iscsi://myname:encodedpassword@iscsi.example.org:3260/...

43e6686c7f storage: Disallow usage of the HBA for a fc_host backing
Disallow providing the wwnn/wwpn of the HBA in the adapter XML:

  <adapter type='fc_host' [parent='scsi_hostN'] wwnn='HBA_wwnn'
    wwpn='HBA_wwpn'/>

This should be considered a configuration error since a vHBA
would not be created. In order to use the HBA as the backing the
following XML should be used:

  <adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_hostN'/>

So add a check prior to the checkParent call to validate that
the provided wwnn/wwpn resolves to a vHBA and not an HBA.

099a5ef8f0 docs: Span cells if there's not doc text for enum val
When generating HTML documentation we put enum values into a
table so that we can display the value's name, numerical value
and description (if it has one). Now the last part is problem. If
the value doesn't have description the table row has just two
cells and if it has one the row counts three cells. This makes
HTML engines render the description into very little space - for
instance see:

  html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainMemoryStatTags

We can avoid this problem if we let the cell that corresponds to
numerical value span over two cells if there's no description.

6efdd94dbc apibuild.py: Handle enum comments properly
After f4cb85c6af we only have two options for placing enum
values descriptions. It's either:

    typedef enum {
        /* Some long description. Therefore it's placed before
         * the value. */
        VIR_ENUM_A_VAL = 1,
    } virEnumA;

or:

    typedef enum {
        VIR_ENUM_B_VAL = 1, /* Some short description */
    } virEnumB;

However, our apibuild.py script is not able to deal with the
former one. It messes up comments. To fix this couple of things
needs to be done:

a) DO NOT reset self.comment in parseEnumBlock(). This is a
result from our tokenizer. Upon calling token() if it finds a
comment block it stores it in self.comment and returns the next
token (which is not comment). Therefore, if we reset self.comment
we might lose the first comment in the enum block.

b) we need a variable to track if the current enum block uses
value descriptions before or after values. That is if it's type
virEnumA or virEnumB. Depending on that, it we're dealing with
virEnumA type and the current token is a comma ',' we can add the
value into the list as we already have everything needed:
comment, name and value.

e5a0579996 qemu: Enable NUMA node tag in pci-root for PPC64
This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.

PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.

For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.

So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.

The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

b494e09d05 docs: schema: make disk driver name attribute optional
/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory
attribute according to formatdomain, and indeed it was agreed on
IRC that the attribute is "optional for input, recommended (but
not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the
attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where
the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g.

# cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver type='raw'/>
      <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
    </disk>

# virt-xml-validate test.xml
Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
test.xml:21: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content
test.xml fails to validate

Relaxing the name attribute to be optional fixes the validation

# virt-xml-validate test.xml
test.xml validates

handled.

of the possible VGA configuration options:

already seen by udev so let's implement necessary code for detecting
them properly.

Topologically, CCW devices are similar to PCI devices, e.g.:

    +- ccw_0_0_1a2b
        |
        +- scsi_host0
            |
            +- scsi_target0_0_0
                |
                +- scsi_0_0_0_0

88ef73e13c nodedev: Introduce mdev capability for mediated devices
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.

The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
  <name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>
  <parent>pci_0000_06_00_0</parent>
  <driver>
    <name>vfio_mdev</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='mdev'>
    <type id='vendor_supplied_type_id'/>
    <iommuGroup number='NUM'/>

500cbc066a nodedev: Introduce the mdev capability to a PCI parent device
The parent device needs to report the generic stuff about the supported
mediated devices types, like device API, available instances, type name,
etc. Therefore this patch introduces a new nested capability element of
type 'mdev_types' with the resulting XML of the following format:

<device>
  ...
  <capability type='pci'>
    ...
    <capability type='mdev_types'>
      <type id='vendor_supplied_id'>
        <name>optional_vendor_supplied_codename</name>
        <deviceAPI>vfio-pci</deviceAPI>
        <availableInstances>NUM</availableInstances>
      </type>
        ...
      <type>
        ...
      </type>
    </capability>

9cb891141c conf: don't ignore <target dev='blah'/> for macvtap interfaces
The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news

subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all.  So that would be

3c647ee4bb Switch to GSSAPI (kerberos) instead of the insecure DIGEST-MD5
RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in
the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, libvirtd should not
by using it as a default mechanism. GSSAPI is the only other
viable SASL mechanism that can provide secure session encryption
so enable that by defalt as the replacement.

e433546bef qemu: Introduce label-size for NVDIMMs
For NVDIMM devices it is optionally possible to specify the size
of internal storage for namespaces. Namespaces are a feature that
allows users to partition the NVDIMM for different uses.

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.

Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:

    <memory model='nvdimm'>
      <source>
        <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
    </memory>

So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.
