f81f0f2f1d node_memory: Add new parameter field to tune the new sysfs knob
Upstream kernel introduced new sysfs knob "merge_across_nodes" to
specify if pages from different numa nodes can be merged. When set
to 0, only pages which physically reside in the memory area of
same NUMA node can be merged. When set to 1, pages from all nodes
can be merged.

This patch supports the tuning by adding new param field
"shm_merge_across_nodes".

28f8dfdccc Add MIGRATABLE flag for virDomainGetXMLDesc
Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML
may contain extra run-time stuff internal to libvirt and some default
configuration may be removed for better compatibility of the XML with
older libvirt releases.

This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.

fe7872827f virsh: new net-update command
This command uses the new virNetworkUpdate() API to modify an existing
network definition, and optionally have those modifications take
effect immediately without restarting the network.

An example usage:

  virsh net-update mynet add-last ip-dhcp-host \
   "<host mac='00:11:22:33:44:55' ip='192.168.122.45'/>" \
   --live --config

If you like, you can instead put the xml into a file, and call like
this:

  virsh net-update mynet add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myxml.xml
   --live --config

virsh will autodetect whether the argument is itself an xml element,
or if it's a file, by looking at the first character - the first
character of an xml element is always "<", and the first character of
a file is almost always *not* "<" (in the rare case that it is, the
user could specify "./<filename...").

A --parent-index option is also available (to give the index within a
list of parent objects, e.g. the index of the parent <ip> element when
updating ip-dhcp-host elements), but is optional and at least for now
will probably be used rarely.

--live, --config, and --current options - if you specify --live, only
the live state of the network will be updated. If you also specify
--config, then the persistent configuration will also be updated;
these two commands can be given separately, or both together. If you
don't specify either (you can optionally specify "--current" for the
same effect), then the "current" config will be updated (i.e. if the
network is active, then only its live config is affected, but if the
network is inactive, only the persistent config is affected).

ed23b10660 blockjob: add virsh blockcommit
The new command 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk' requests the start
of an asynchronous commit operation across the entire chain of
$disk.  Further arguments can fine-tune which portion of the
chain is committed.  Existing 'virsh blockjob' commands can then
track the status, change the bandwidth, or abort the commit job.

With a bit more on the command line, 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk
--wait --verbose' can be used for blocking behavior, with visual
feedback on the overall status, and can be canceled with Ctrl-C.

The overall design, including the wait loop logic, borrows heavily
from the existing blockpull command.

* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCommit): New function.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcommit): Document it.

421a200987 virsh: Add domdisplay cmd for VNC, SPICE and RDP
v2:
- Refactored to use virBuffer
- Refactored to use virXPath wrappers
- Added support for tls-port and password for SPICE
- Added optional flag to disable SPICE password to the URI
- Added support for RDP
- Fixed code reviews

Add a new 'domdisplay' command that provides a URI for VNC, SPICE and
RDP connections. Presently the 'vncdisplay' command provides you with
the port info that QEMU is listening on but there is no counterpart for
SPICE and RDP. Additionally this provides you with the bind address as
specified in the XML, which the existing 'vncdisplay' lacks. For SPICE
connections it supports secure and unsecure channels and optionally
providing the password for the SPICE channel.

d62e51f86b virsh: add support for virConnectListAllDomains and clean up cmdList
This patch makes use of the newly added api virConnectListAllDomains()
to list domains in virsh.

Virsh now represents lists of domains using an internal structure
vshDomainList. This structure contains the virDomainPtr list as provided
by virConnectListAllDomains() and the count of domains in the list.

For backwards compatibility, the function vshDomainListCollect was added
that tries to enumerate the domains using the new API and if the API is
not supported falls back to the older approach with the two list
functions.  The helper function also simulates filtering by all
currently supported flags added with virConnectListAllDomains().

This patch also cleans up the "list" command handler to use the new
helpers and adds new command line flags to make use of filtering.

1f145b2f0f network: fully support/use VIR_NETWORK_XML_INACTIVE flag
commit 52d064f42d added
VIR_NETWORK_XML_INACTIVE in order to allow suppressing the
auto-generated list of VFs in network definitions, and a --inactive
flag to virsh net-dumpxml to take advantage of the flag. However, it
missed out on two opportunities:

1) Use INACTIVE to get the current config of the network as it
   exists on disk, rather than the currently active config.

2) Add INACTIVE to the flags used for the virsh net-edit command, so
   that it won't include the forward-pool interfaces that were
   autogenerated, and so that a re-edit of the network prior to
   restarting it will show any other edits made since the last restart
   of the network. (prior to this patch, if you edited a network a 2nd
   time without restarting, all of the previous edits would magically
   disappear).

In order to fit with the new #define-based generic edit function in
virsh.c, a new function vshNetworkGetXMLDesc() was added. This
function first tries to call virNetworkGetXMLDesc with the INACTIVE
flag added, then retries without if the first attempt fails (in the
manner expected when the server doesn't support it).

Blocking until the command completes naturally is pointless, since
the block copy job is intended to run indefinitely.  Instead, I

mirroring is started; with --pivot, it pivots as soon as mirroring
is started; and with --finish, it aborts (for a clean copy) as
soon as mirroring is started.

I'm tired of shell-scripting to wait for completion of a block pull,
when virsh can be taught to do the same.  I couldn't quite reuse
vshWatchJob, as this is not a case of a long-running command where
a second thread must be used to probe job status (at least, not unless
I make virsh start doing blocking waits for an event to fire), but it
served as inspiration for my simpler single-threaded loop.  There is
up to a half-second delay between sending SIGINT and the job being
aborted, but I didn't think it worth the complexity of a second thread
and use of poll() just to minimize that delay.

a696f8b71a blockjob: add API for async virDomainBlockJobAbort
Block job cancellation can take a while.  Now that upstream qemu 1.1
has asynchronous block cancellation, we want to expose that to the user.
Therefore, the following updates are made to the virDomainBlockJob API:

A new block job event type VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED is managed by
libvirt.  Regardless of the flags used with virDomainBlockJobAbort, this
event will be raised: 1. when using synchronous block_job_cancel (the
event will be synthesized by libvirt), and 2. whenever it is received
from qemu (via asynchronous block-job-cancel).  Note that the event
may be detected by libvirt even before the virDomainBlockJobAbort
completes (always true when it is synthesized, but also possible if
cancellation was fast).

A new extension flag VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC is added to the
virDomainBlockJobAbort API.  When enabled, this function will allow
(but not require) asynchronous operation (ie, it returns as soon as
possible, which might be before the job has actually been canceled).
When the API is used in this mode, it is the responsibility of the
caller to wait for a VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED event or poll via
the virDomainGetBlockJobInfo API to check the cancellation status.

This patch also exposes the new flag through virsh, and makes virsh
slightly easier to use (--async implies --abort, and lack of any options
implies --info), although it leaves the qemu implementation for later
patches.

4d5533ca87 snapshot: add atomic create flag
Right now, it is appallingly easy to cause qemu disk snapshots
to alter a domain then fail; for example, by requesting a two-disk
snapshot where the second disk name resides on read-only storage.
In this failure scenario, libvirt reports failure, but modifies
the live domain XML in-place to record that the first disk snapshot
was taken; and places a difficult burden on the management app
to grab the XML and reparse it to see which disks, if any, were
altered by the partial snapshot.

This patch adds a new flag where implementations can request that
the hypervisor make snapshots atomically; either no changes to
XML occur, or all disks were altered as a group.  If you request
the flag, you either get outright failure up front, or you take
advantage of hypervisor abilities to make an atomic snapshot. Of
course, drivers should prefer the atomic means even without the
flag explicitly requested.

There's no way to make snapshots 100% bulletproof - even if the
hypervisor does it perfectly atomic, we could run out of memory
during the followup tasks of updating our in-memory XML, and report
a failure.  However, these sorts of catastrophic failures are rare
and unlikely, and it is still nicer to know that either all
snapshots happened or none of them, as that is an easier state to
recover from.

ceb1d36b94 Clarify what documentation is being referenced
virsh.pod had several instances in which it referred to "the
documentation" which was a little puzzling to me since it is
documentation.  Reading the document from end to end makes it clear
that it means a specific URI which was noted previously in the text,
but I had never noticed those URIs in several years of referring to
the man page.  This patch adds those URIs to several additional places
in the text.

ab95da4058 virsh: improve storage unit parsing
Now can now do:

virsh vol-resize $vol 10M
virsh blockresize $dom $vol 10M

to get both interfaces to resize to 10MiB.  The remaining wart
is that vol-resize defaults to bytes, but blockresize defaults
to KiB, but we can't break existing scripts; oh well, it's no
worse than the same wart of the underlying virDomainBlockResize.

The API for virStorageVolResize states that capacity must always
be positive, and that the presence of shrink and delta flags is
what implies a negative change.

* tools/virsh.c (vshCommandOptScaledInt): New function.
(cmdVolResize): Don't pass negative size.
(cmdVolSize): Rename...

1c56b9fe53 virsh: add option aliases
In the past, we have created some virsh options with less-than-stellar

but we don't want to document them in help output.  This introduces
a new option type, an alias, which points to a canonical option name
later in the option list.

to do all option parsing through common entry points, such that I
got this added in relatively few lines of code!

* tools/virsh.c (VSH_OT_ALIAS): New option type.

afa4336e94 virsh: add support for VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_* flags
This patch adds support for the newly introduced
VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE and VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_SAFE flags. The console
command now has an optional parameter --force that specifies that the
user wants to forcibly interrupt an ongoing console session and create
a new one. Flag --safe requests that the console should be opened only
if the hypervisor driver supports safe console handling.

The behaviour to this point was that the daemon opened two streams to
the console, that competed for data from the pipe, and the result was
that both of the consoles ended up scrambled.

This patch doesn't modify operation of other commands dealing with
console connections (start, create) as those open connections to newly
started domains making it virtually impossible for another client to race
for the console and steal it.

* tools/console.c:
        - add support for flag passthrough
* tools/console.h:
        - modify function prototypes to match impl.
* tools/virsh.c:
        - add flag --force for the console command

4e9953a426 snapshot: allow reuse of existing files in disk snapshot
When disk snapshots were first implemented, libvirt blindly refused
to allow an external snapshot destination that already exists, since
qemu will blindly overwrite the contents of that file during the
snapshot_blkdev monitor command, and we don't like a default of
data loss by default.  But VDSM has a scenario where NFS permissions
are intentionally set so that the destination file can only be
created by the management machine, and not the machine where the
guest is running, so that libvirt will necessarily see the destination
file already existing; adding a flag will allow VDSM to force the file
reuse without libvirt complaining of possible data loss.

Add an option for virsh undefine command, to remove associated storage

The new option --storage for the undefine command takes a string
argument that consists of comma separated list of target or source path
of volumes to be undefined. Volumes are removed after the domain has
been successfully undefined,

If a volume is not part of a storage pool, the user is warned to remove
the volume in question himself.

Option --wipe-storage may be specified along with this, that ensures
the image is wiped before removing.

Option --remove-all-storage enables the user to remove all storage. The
name is chosen long as the users should be aware what they're about to

$ virsh blkiotune dom --device-weights /dev/sda,503
$ virsh blkiotune dom
weight         : 500
device_weight  : /dev/sda,503

claim that /dev/sdb no longer has a non-default weight, but
directly querying cgroups says otherwise:

$ cat /cgroup/blkio/libvirt/qemu/dom/blkio.weight_device
8:0     503
8:16    498

from the XML, and omitting a device path that was previously
specified leaves that device path untouched in the XML, to match
cgroups behavior.

1ae8eed1b4 virsh: add iface-bridge and iface-unbridge commands
One of the top questions by libvirt users is how to create a host
bridge device so that guests can be directly on the physical
network. There are several example documents that explain how to do
this manually, but following them often results in confusion and
failure. virt-manager does a good job of creating a bridge based on an
existing network device, but not everyone wants to use virt-manager.

This patch adds a new command, iface-bridge that makes it just about
as simple as possible to create a new bridge device based on an
existing ethernet/vlan/bond device (including associating IP
configuration with the bridge rather than the now-attached device),
and start that new bridge up ready for action, eg:

    virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0

For symmetry's sake, it also adds a command to remove a device from a
bridge, restoring the IP config to the now-unattached device:

    virsh iface-unbridge br0

(I had a short debate about whether to do "iface-unbridge eth0"
instead, but that would involve searching through all bridge devices
for the one that contained eth0, which seems like a bit too much
trouble).

NOTE: These two commands require that the netcf library be available
on the host. Hopefully this will provide some extra incentive for
people using suse, debian, ubuntu, and other similar systems to polish
up (and push downstream) the ports to those distros recently pushed to
the upstream netcf repo by Dan Berrange. Anyone interested in helping
with that effort in any way should join the netcf-devel mailing list
(subscription info at
https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/netcf-devel)

During creation of the bridge, it's possible to specify whether or not
the STP protocol should be started up on the bridge and, if so, how
many seconds the bridge should squelch traffic from newly added
devices while learning new topology (defaults are stp='on' and
delay='0', which seems to usually work best for bridges used in the
context of libvirt guests).

There is also an option to not immediately start the bridge (and a
similar option to not immediately start the un-attached device after
destroying the bridge. Default is to start the new device, because in
the case of iface-unbridge not starting is strongly discouraged as it
will leave the system with no network connectivity on that interface
(because it's necessary to destroy/undefine the bridge device before
the unattached device can be defined), and it seemed better to make
the option for iface-bridge behave consistently.

NOTE TO THOSE TRYING THESE COMMANDS FOR THE FIRST TIME: to guard
against any "unexpected" change to configuration, it is advisable to
issue an "virsh iface-begin" command before starting any interface
config changes, and "virsh iface-commit" only after you've verified
that everything is working as you expect. If something goes wrong,
you can always run "virsh iface-rollback" or reboot the system (which
should automatically do iface-rollback).

Aside from adding the code for these two functions, and the two
entries into the command table, the only other change to virsh.c was
to add the option name to vshCommandOptInterfaceBy(), because the
iface-unbridge command names its interface option as "bridge".

virsh.pod has also been updated with short descriptions of these two
new commands.

b77b203cac snapshot: virsh shorthand for operating on current snap
Rather than having to do:

$ virsh snapshot-revert dom $(virsh snapshot-current dom --name)

I thought it would be nice to do:

$ virsh snapshot-revert dom --current

I didn't add 'virsh snapshot-dumpxml --current' since we already have
'virsh snapshot-current' for the same task.  snapshot-list accepted
a name but did not require it, and that remains the case, with
--current serving in place of that name.  For all other commands,
name used to be required, and can now be replaced by --current;
I intentionally made it so that omitting both --current and a name
is an error (having the absence of a name imply --current seems
just a bit too magic, so --current must be explicit).  I also had
to keep snapshot-edit backwards-compatible, as the only command
that already had a --current argument alongside a name, which still
works to both edit a named snapshot and make it current.

bab4f31c78 snapshot: avoid accidental renames with snapshot-edit
I was a bit surprised that 'virsh snapshot-edit dom name' silently
allowed me to clone things, while still telling me the old name,
especially since other commands like 'virsh edit dom' reject rename
attempts (*).  This fixes things to be more explicit (**).

(*) Technically, 'virsh edit dom' relies on virDomainDefineXML
behavior, which rejects attempts to mix a new name with existing
uuid or new uuid with existing name, but you can create a new
domain by changing both uuid and name.  On the other hand, while
snapshot-edit --clone is a true clone, creating a new domain
would also have to decide whether to clone snapshot metadata,
managed save, and any other secondary data related to the domain.
Domain renames are not trivial either.

(**) Renaming or creating a clone is still a risky proposition -
for offline snapshots and system checkpoints, if the new name
does not match an actual name recorded in the qcow2 internal
snapshots, then you cannot revert to the new checkpoint.  But it
is assumed that anyone using the new virsh flags knows what they
are doing, and can deal with the fallout caused by a rename/clone;
that is, we can't completely prevent a user from shooting
themselves in the foot, so much as we are making the default
action less risky.

* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotEdit): Add --rename, --clone.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-edit): Document them.

3c797404a5 snapshot: add REVERT_FORCE to API
Although reverting to a snapshot is a form of data loss, this is
normally expected.  However, there are two cases where additional
surprises (failure to run the reverted state, or a break in
connectivity to the domain) can come into play.  Requiring extra
acknowledgment in these cases will make it less likely that
someone can get into an unrecoverable state due to a default revert.

Also create a new error code, so users can distinguish when forcing
would make a difference, rather than having to blindly request force.

619077b9eb virsh: Add more human-friendly output of domblkstat command
Users of virsh complain that output of the domblkstat command
is not intuitive enough. This patch adds explanation of fields
returned by this command to the help section for domblkstat and
the man page of virsh. Also a switch --human is added for
domblkstat that prints the fields with more descriptive
texts.

This patch also changes sequence of the output fields and their
names back to the order and spelling established by previous
versions of virsh to maintain compatibility with scripts.

Example of ordered and "translated" output:

PRE-patch:

virsh # domblkstat 1 vda
vda wr_bytes 5170176
vda wr_operations 511
vda rd_bytes 82815488
vda rd_operations 3726

POST-patch:

virsh # domblkstat 1 vda
vda rd_req 3726
vda rd_bytes 82815488
vda wr_req 478
vda wr_bytes 4965376

Example of human readable output:

virsh # domblkstat 1 vda --human
Device: vda
 number of read operations:      3726
 number of read bytes:           82815488

85d2810823 snapshot: tweak snapshot-create-as diskspec docs
With this patch, it is hopefully a bit more obvious that for
snapshot-create-as, a literal '--diskspec' is mandatory if name
or description was omitted, but optional if all earlier options
were provided.

These all denote two diskspecs and a description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb name desc

This gives two diskspecs but no description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb

And this treats 'vda' as the description, with only one diskspec:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name vda vdb

The help output now shows:
    snapshot-create-as <domain> [<name>] [<description>] [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [[--diskspec] <string>]...

I also checked the help output for echo and send-key, which are two
other variants of argv commands.

--diskspec must preceed a diskspec argument.

Wire up the new snapshot creation flags in virsh.  For convenience,
teach 'snapshot-current' how to make an existing snapshot become
current (can be used after upgrading to newer libvirt to recover
from the fact that the older libvirt lost track of the current
snapshot after a restart).  The snapshot-create-as command is
intentionally not taught --redefine or --current, as this would
imply adding a lot of other options for everything else that can
appear in the <domainsnapshot> xml, but which is normally read-only.
Besides, redefining will usually be done on files created by
snapshot-dumpxml, rather than something built up by hand on the
command line.  And now that we can redefine, we can edit.

Rename the existing --current flag to the new name --active,
while adding a new flag --current to expose the new
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT flag of virDomainGetVcpusFlags.

For backwards compability, the output does not change (even
though the label "current" no longer matches the spelling of
the option that would trigger that number in isolation), and
we accept "--current --live" as an undocumented synonym for
"--active --live" to avoid breaking any existing clients.

If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
not specified, then it fails with an error telling the user
that a managed save image still exists.

If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
specified, it invokes virDomainUndefineFlags. If
virDomainUndefineFlags fails, then it tries to remove the managed
save image using virDomainManagedSaveRemove first, with
invoking virDomainUndefine following. (For compatibility between
new virsh with this patch and older libvirt without this patch).

Similarly if the domain has no managed save image. See the codes for
detail.

NOTE: Have not removing the codes checking if the domain is running
in function "cmdUndefine", it will go along with qemu driver's fix
(allow to undefine a running domain).

When using vcpupin command, we have to speficy comma-separated list as cpulist,

This patch improves this by introducing special markup "-" and "^" which are
similar to XML schema of "cpuset" attribute.

The example:

 # virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0-15,^8

 is identical to

 # virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

NOTE: The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is not identical

a73bbfc8be qemu: Remove the managed state file only if restoring succeeded
1) Both "qemuDomainStartWithFlags" and "qemuAutostartDomain" try to
restore the domain from managedsave'ed image if it exists (by
invoking "qemuDomainObjRestore"), but it unlinks the image even
if restoring fails, which causes data loss. (This problem exists
for "virsh managedsave dom; virsh start dom").

The fix for is to unlink the managed state file only if restoring
succeeded.

2) For "virsh save dom; virsh restore dom;", it can cause data
corruption if one reuse the saved state file for restoring. Add
doc to tell user about it.

3) In "qemuDomainObjStart", if "managed_save" is NULL, we shouldn't
fallback to start the domain, skipping it to cleanup as a incidental
fix. Discovered by Eric.

4591df766d Remove the Open Nebula driver
The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.

Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.

The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.

Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

2d70a46911 setmem: add the new options to "virsh setmem" command
This patch adds the new options (--live and --config)  to "virsh setmem" command.
The behavior of above options is the same as that of "virsh setvcpus" and so on.
That is, when the --config option is specified, a modification is effective for
the persistent domain. Moreover we can modify the memory size of inactive domains
as well as that of active domains.

2169472ab6 qemu: Add shortcut for HMP pass through
Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:

    virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'

which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.

This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just

    virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"

Also the result is converted from

    {"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}

to just plain HMP:

    kvm support: enabled

If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.

d9ad8ac392 Add VIR_DIV_UP to divide memory or storage request sizes with round up
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.

This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.

Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.

Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.

Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.

f15cad2916 Force guest suspend at timeout
If the memory of guest OS is changed constantly, the live migration
can not be ended ever for ever.

We can use the command 'virsh migrate-setmaxdowntime' to control the
live migration. But the value of maxdowntime is diffcult to calculate
because it depends on the transfer speed of network and constantly
changing memroy size. We need a easy way to control the live migration.

This patch adds the support of forcing guest to suspend at timeout.
With this patch, when we migrate the guest OS, we can specify a
timeout. If the live migration timeouts, auto-suspend the guest OS,
where the migration will complete offline.

dad4b5d47f Re-write virsh console to use streams
This re-writes the 'virsh console' command so that it uses
the new streams API. This lets it run remotely and/or as a
non-root user. This requires that virsh be linked against
the simple event loop from libvirtd in daemon/event.c
As an added bonus, it can now connect to any console device,
not just the first one.

* tools/console.c, tools/console.h: Rewrite to use the

a2943243c4 virsh: rework command parsing
Old virsh command parsing mashes all the args back into a string and
miss the quotes, this patches fix it. It is also needed for introducing
qemu-monitor-command which is very useful.

This patches uses the new vshCommandParser abstraction and adds
vshCommandArgvParse() for arguments vector, so we don't need
to mash arguments vector into a command sting.

And the usage was changed:
old:
virsh [options] [commands]

new:
virsh [options]... [<command_string>]
virsh [options]... <command> [args...]

So we still support commands like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml D" was parsed as a commands-string.

and support commands like:
we will not mash them into a string, we use new argv parser for it.

But we don't support the command like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml" was parsed as a command-name, but we have no such command-name.
