Now that we can open connections to the secondary drivers on demand,
there is no need to pass a virConnectPtr into all the backend
functions.

Instead of passing around a virConnectPtr object, just open a connection
to the nodedev driver at time of use. Opening connections on demand will
be beneficial when the nodedev driver is in a separate daemon. It also
solves the problem that a number of callers just pass in a NULL
connection today which prevents nodedev lookup working at all.

For now it'll just call the virStoragePoolObjUnlock, but a future
adjustment will do something different. Since the new API will check
for a NULL object before the Unlock call, callers no longer need to
check for NULL before calling.
The virStoragePoolObjUnlock is now private/static to virstorageobj.c
with a short term forward reference.
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.

If the parent provided for the storage pool adapter is not vHBA
capable, then issue a configuration error even though the provided
wwnn/wwpn were found.
It is a configuration error to provide a mismatched parent to
the wwnn/wwpn. The @parent is optional and is used as a means to
perform duplicate pool source checks.

Commit id '106930aaa' altered the order of checking for an existing
vHBA (e.g something created via nodedev-create functionality outside
of the storage pool logic) which inadvertantly broke the code to
decide whether to alter/force the fchost->managed field to be 'yes'
because the storage pool will be managing the created vHBA in order
to ensure when the storage pool is destroyed that the vHBA is also
destroyed.
This patch moves the check (and checkParent helper) for an existing
vHBA back into the createVport in storage_backend_scsi. It also
adjusts the checkParent logic to more closely follow the intentions
prior to commit id '79ab0935'. The changes made by commit id '08c0ea16f'
are only necessary to run the virStoragePoolFCRefreshThread when
a vHBA was really created because there's a timing lag such that
the refreshPool call made after a startPool from storagePoolCreate*
wouldn't necessarily find LUNs, but the thread would. For an already
existing vHBA, using the thread is unnecessary since the vHBA already
exists and the lag to configure the LUNs wouldn't exist.

Rather than returning true/false and having the caller check if the
vHBA was actually created, let's do that check within the CreateVport
function. That way the caller can faithfully assume success based
on a name start the thread looking for the LUNs. Prior to this change
it's possible that the vHBA wasn't really created (e.g if the call to
virVHBAGetHostByWWN returned NULL), we'd claim success, but in reality
there'd be no vHBA for the pool. This also fixes a second yet seen
issue that if the nodedev was present, but the parent by name wasn't
provided (perhaps parent by wwnn/wwpn or by fabric_name), then a failure
would be returned. For this path it shouldn't be an error - we should
just be happy that something else is managing the device and we don't
have to create/delete it.
The end result is that the createVport code can now just start the
refresh thread once it gets a non NULL name back.

Add APIs that allow to dynamically register driver backends so that the
list of available drivers does not need to be known during compile time.
This will allow us to modularize the storage driver on runtime.
Create a virscsihost.c and place the functions there. That removes the
last #ifdef __linux__ from virutil.c.
Take the opporunity to also change the function names and in one case
the parameters slightly
Use the new virNodeDeviceGetParentName instead. Modify the callers to
build the node device scsi_host# name string in order to call the new
function so that proper lookup occurs.
Rather than have them mixed in with the virutil apis, create a separate
virvhba.c module and move the vHBA related calls into there. Soon there
will be more added.
Also modify the names of the functions and some arguments to be more
indicative of what is really happening. Adjust the callers respectively.
While I was changing fchosttest, rather than the non-descriptive names
test1...test6, rename them to match what the test is doing.
The iSCSI backend driver was using stuff from the SCSI driver without
making sure that it's compiled in. Move the common code into the
storage_util.c since it does not contain any specific code.
The file became a garbage dump for all kinds of utility functions over
time. Move them to a separate file so that the files can become a clean
interface for the storage backends.

As it turns out using only the 'parent' to achieve the goal of a
consistent vHBA parent has issues with reboots where the scsi_hostX
parent could change to scsi_hostY causing either failure to create
the vHBA or usage of the wrong HBA for our vHBA.
Thus add the ability to search for the "parent" by the parent wwnn/
wwpn values or just a fabric_name if someone only cares to ensure
usage of the same SAN for the vHBA.
Move the check for an already existing vHBA to the top of the function.
No sense in first decoding a provided parent if the next thing we're going
to do is fail if a provided wwnn/wwpn already exists.

The directories we iterate over are unlikely to contain any entries
starting with a dot, other than '.' and '..' which is already skipped
by virDirRead.
We had both and the only difference was that the latter also included
information about multifunction setting. The problem with that was that
we couldn't use functions made for only one of the structs (e.g.
parsing). To consolidate those two structs, use the one in virpci.h,
include that in domain_conf.h and add the multifunction member in it.

If the pool creation thread happens to detect the luns in
the scsi target, the size parameters will be calculated as
part of the refreshPool called from storagePoolCreate().
This means the virStoragePoolFCRefreshThread (commit id
'512b874') waiting to run and "refresh" the pool will
essentially double the allocation and capacity values.
A separate refresh would correct the values.
To avoid this, the FCRefreshThread needs to reinitialize
the pool size values prior to calling virStorageBackendSCSIFindLUs
which eventually calls virStorageBackendSCSINewLun and
updates the size values for each volume found.

Prior to commit id '98322052' failure to saferead the block device would
cause an error to be logged and the device to be skipped while attempting
to discover/create a stable target path for a new LUN (NPIV).
This was because virStorageBackendSCSIFindLUs ignored errors from
processLU and virStorageBackendSCSINewLun.
Ignoring the failure allowed a multipath device with an "active" and
"ghost" to be present on the host with the "ghost" block device being
ignored. This patch will return a -2 to the caller indicating the desire
to ignore the block device since it cannot be used directly rather than
fail the pool startup.
Similar to the openflags which allow VIR_STORAGE_VOL_OPEN_NOERROR to be
passed to avoid open errors, add a 'readflags' variable so that in the
future read failures could also be ignored.

The virStoragePoolFCRefreshThread had passed a pointer to the pool obj
in the virStoragePoolFCRefreshInfoPtr; however, we cannot assume that
the pool exists still since we don't keep the pool lock throughout
the duration of the thread.
Therefore, instead of passing the pool obj pointer, pass the UUID of
the pool and perform a lookup. If found, then we can perform the
refresh using the locked pool obj pointer; otherwise, we just exit
the thread since the pool is now gone.

Currently it's not possible to determine the difference between a
fatal memory allocation or failure to open/read the directory error
with a perhaps less fatal, I didn't find the "block" device in the
directory (which may be a disk entry without a block device).
In the case of the latter, we shouldn't cause failure to continue
searching in the caller (virStorageBackendSCSIFindLUs), rather we
should allow trying reading the next directory entry.

Adjust the processLU error returns to be a bit more logical. Currently,
the calling code cannot determine the difference between a non disk/lun
volume and a processed/found disk/lun. It can also not differentiate
between perhaps real/fatal error and one that won't necessarily stop
the code from finding other volumes.
After this patch virStorageBackendSCSIFindLUsInternal will stop processing
as soon as a "fatal" message occurs rather than continuting processing
for no apparent reason. It will also only set the *found value when
at least one of the processLU's was successful.
With the failed return, if the reason for the stop was that the pool
target path did not exist, was /dev, was /dev/, or did not start with
/dev, then iSCSI pool startup and refresh will fail.
Rather than passing/returning a pointer to a boolean to indicate that
perhaps we should try again - adjust the return of the call to return
the count of LU's found during processing, then let the caller decide
what to do with that value.
Use virStorageBackendPoolUseDevPath API to determine whether creation of
stable target path is possible for the volume.
This will differentiate a failed virStorageBackendStablePath which won't
need to be fatal. Thus, we'll add a -2 return value to differentiate that
the failure was a result of either the inability to find the symlink for
the device or failure to open the target path directory
In order to be able to use 'checkPool' inside functions which do not
have any connection reference, 'conn' attribute needs to be discarded
from the checkPool's signature, since it's not used by any storage backend
anyway.

When libvirt create's the vport (VPORT_CREATE) for the vHBA, there isn't
enough "time" between the creation and the running of the following
backend->refreshPool after a backend->startPool in order to find the LU's.
Population of LU's happens asynchronously when udevEventHandleCallback
discovers the "new" vHBA port. Creation of the infrastructure by udev
is an iterative process creating and discovering actual storage devices and
adjusting the environment.
Because of the time it takes to discover and set things up, the backend
refreshPool call done after the startPool call will generally fail to
find any devices. This leaves the newly started pool appear empty when
querying via 'vol-list' after startup. The "workaround" has always been
to run pool-refresh after startup (or any time thereafter) in order to
find the LU's. Depending on how quickly run after startup, this too may
not find any LUs in the pool. Eventually though given enough time and
retries it will find something if LU's exist for the vHBA.
This patch adds a thread to be executed after the VPORT_CREATE which will
attempt to find the LU's without requiring the external run of refresh-pool.
It does this by waiting for 5 seconds and searching for the LU's. If any
are found, then the thread completes; otherwise, it will retry once more
in another 5 seconds. If none are found in that second pass, the thread
gives up.
Things learned while investigating this... No need to try and fill the
pool too quickly or too many times. Over the course of creation, the udev
code may 'add', 'change', and 'delete' the same device. So if the refresh
code runs and finds something, it may display it only to have a subsequent
refresh appear to "lose" the device. The udev processing doesn't seem to
have a way to indicate that it's all done with the creation processing of a
newly found vHBA. Only the Lone Ranger has silver bullets to fix everything.
