6ee52c1b76 Add directsync cache mode support for disk driver
Newer QEMU introduced cache=directsync for -drive, this patchset
is to expose it in libvirt layer.

  * Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_DIRECTSYNC),
    As even $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't known if directsync
    is supported.

6766ff10dd snapshot: track current snapshot across restarts
Audit all changes to the qemu vm->current_snapshot, and make them
update the saved xml file for both the previous and the new
snapshot, so that there is always at most one snapshot with
<active>1</active> in the xml, and that snapshot is used as the
current snapshot even across libvirtd restarts.

This patch does not fix the case of virDomainSnapshotDelete(,CHILDREN)
where one of the children is the current snapshot; that will be later.

73c0a148af qemu: support event_idx parameter for virtio disk and net devices
In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).

As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).

   "don't mess with this!"

ce7244a014 Improve tokenizing of linkable terms
Currently only tabs and blanks are used for tokenizing the description,
which breaks when a term is at the end of a line or has () appended to
it.
1. Use also other white space characters such as new-lines and carriage
   return for splitting.
2. Remove some common non-word characters from the token before lookup.

ef79fb5b5f conf: add <listen> subelement to domain <graphics> element
Once it's plugged in, the <listen> element will be an optional
replacement for the "listen" attribute that graphics elements already
have. If the <listen> element is type='address', it will have an
attribute called 'address' which will contain an IP address or dns
name that the guest's display server should listen on. If, however,
type='network', the <listen> element should have an attribute called
'network' that will be set to the name of a network configuration to
get the IP address from.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated to allow the <listen> element

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the <listen> element and its
  attributes.

* src/conf/domain_conf.[hc]:

  1) The domain parser, formatter, and data structure are modified to
     support 0 or more <listen> subelements to each <graphics>
     element. The old style "legacy" listen attribute is also still
     accepted, and will be stored internally just as if it were a
     separate <listen> element. On output (i.e. format), the address
     attribute of the first <listen> element of type 'address' will be
     duplicated in the legacy "listen" attribute of the <graphic>
     element.

  2) The "listenAddr" attribute has been removed from the unions in
     virDomainGRaphicsDef for graphics types vnc, rdp, and spice.
     This attribute is now in the <listen> subelement (aka
     virDomainGraphicsListenDef)

  3) Helper functions were written to provide simple access
     (both Get and Set) to the listen elements and their attributes.

* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the listen helper functions

* src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c,
  src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,
  src/vmx/vmx.c, src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c, src/xenxs/xen_xm.c

  Modify all these files to use the listen helper functions rather
  than directly referencing the (now missing) listenAddr
  attribute. There can be multiple <listen> elements to a single
  <graphics>, but the drivers all currently only support one, so all
  replacements of direct access with a helper function indicate index
  "0".

* tests/* - only 3 of these are new files added explicitly to test the
  new <listen> element. All the others have been modified to reflect
  the fact that any legacy "listen" attributes passed in to the domain
  parse will be saved in a <listen> element (i.e. one of the
  virDomainGraphicsListenDefs), and during the domain format function,
  both the <listen> element as well as the legacy attributes will be
  output.

fe957f0a6f bandwidth: Integrate bandwidth into portgroups
Every DomainNetDef has a bandwidth, as does every portgroup.
Whenever a DomainNetDef of type NETWORK is about to be used, a call is
made to networkAllocateActualDevice(). This function chooses the "best"
bandwidth object and places it in the DomainActualNetDef.
From that point on, whenever some code needs to use the bandwidth data
for the interface, it's retrieved with virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(),
which will always return the "best" info as determined in the
previous step.

and 'outbound' addressing incoming and outgoing traffic respectively:

<bandwidth>
  <inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
  <outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>

Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.
The units for average and peak (rate) are in kilobytes per second,
for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.

40fd7073be conf: support abstracted interface info in network XML
The network XML is updated in the following ways:

1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:

     <forward .... >
       <interface dev='eth10'/>
       <interface dev='eth11'/>
       <interface dev='eth12'/>
       <interface dev='eth13'/>
     </forward>

   The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
   normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
   either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
   both on input, they must match.

2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
   are supported:

     private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
     domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
     interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:

        <interface type='direct'>
          <source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
          ...
        </interface>

     where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
     selected from the list given in <forward>.

     bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
     forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
     'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
     specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
     name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
     libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:

       <interface type='bridge'>
          <source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
          ...
       </interface>

3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
   selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
   "portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
   network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
   virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
   may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
   building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
   virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
   a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
   network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
   the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
   interface.

4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
   which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
   the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
   specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
   portgroups on the network.

07f4136993 conf: support abstracted interface info in domain interface XML
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:

1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')

2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.

3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.

The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).

a3d95b550b conf: put virtPortProfile struct / functions in a common location
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).

http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example.  People coming to libvirt.org

probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies.  This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead.  It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them.  Finally, it adds a line about networking support.

303133ee49 docs: fix indentation of sub-elements of <ip> in network XML
The sub-elements of <ip> had been placed at the same level of
indentation as ip itself, implying that they were really elements of
<network>. Within that, sub-elements of ip/dhcp were also at that same
level. These have been double-indented.

At the same time, I realized that the documentation for the new <dns>
element had been placed right in the middle of the description of the
sub-elements of <ip>. I moved it up out of the way.

For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.

1ea83207c8 Support leases in guest XML and lock manager
A lock manager may operate in various modes. The direct mode of
operation is to obtain locks based on the resources associated
with devices in the XML. The indirect mode is where the app
creating the domain provides explicit leases for each resource
that needs to be locked. This XML extension allows for listing
resources in the XML

  <devices>
     ...
     <lease>
       <lockspace>somearea</lockspace>
       <key>thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog</key>
       <target path='/some/lease/path' offset='23432'/>
     </lease>
     ...
  </devices>

The 'lockspace' is a unique identifier for the lockspace which
the lease is associated

The 'key' is a unique identifier for the resource associated
with the lease.

The 'target' is the file on disk where the leases are held.

c3c30d4de9 build: avoid corrupting / in RHEL 5
I noticed this while building from libvirt.git on RHEL 5.6:

Generating internals/command.html.tmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `/internals': Permission denied

If I had been building as root instead, this pollutes /.

Older autoconf lacks $(builddir), but it is rigorously equal to '.'
in newer autoconf, so we could use '$(MKDIR_P) internals' instead.

However, since internals/command.html is part of the tarball, we
_already_ build it in $(srcdir), not $(builddir) during VPATH
builds, so the mkdir is wasted effort!

65043d2dff Introduce yet another migration version in API.
Migration just seems to go from bad to worse. We already had to
introduce a second migration protocol when adding the QEMU driver,
since the one from Xen was insufficiently flexible to cope with
passing the data the QEMU driver required.

It turns out that this protocol still has some flaws that we
need to address. The current sequence is

 *  Src: DumpXML
          - Generate XML to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Prepare
          - Get ready to accept incoming VM
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Perform
          - Start migration and wait for send completion
          - Kill off VM if successful, resume if failed

 *  Dst: Finish
          - Wait for recv completion and check status
          - Kill off VM if unsuccessful

The problems with this are:

 - Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
   add in other migration specific data. eg, we can't include
   any VM lease data from lock manager plugins
 - Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
   emit any 'migration begin' event on the source, or have
   any hook that runs right at the start of the process
 - Since there is no final step on the source, if the Finish
   method fails to receive all migration data & has to kill
   the VM, then there's no way to resume the original VM
   on the source

This patch attempts to introduce a version 3 that uses the
improved 5 step sequence

 *  Src: Begin
          - Generate XML to pass to dst
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Prepare
          - Get ready to accept incoming VM
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Perform
          - Start migration and wait for send completion
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Finish
          - Wait for recv completion and check status
          - Kill off VM if failed, resume if success
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Confirm
          - Kill off VM if success, resume if failed

The API is designed to allow both input and output cookies
in all methods where applicable. This lets us pass around
arbitrary extra driver specific data between src & dst during
migration. Combined with the extra 'Begin' method this lets
us pass lease information from source to dst at the start of
migration

Moving the killing of the source VM out of Perform and
into Confirm, means we can now recover if the dst host
can't successfully Finish receiving migration data.

because there is no such thing as IPv6 NAT, there is no one IPv6
address that would work for all installations).

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.

50d8ad828d Update on the goal page
Some things to note in this patch:
   - we do extend libvirt scope beyond purely managing domains, there is
     already a number of blocks which are here as helpr functions to
     manage the resources on the host.
   - we are expanding in the direction of libvirt being sufficient to do
     most of the management on the Host (but within the limits of the need
     for virtualization, e.g. managing users on the host is out of scope)
   - we don't require anymore APIs to be supported by multiple
     hypervisors to get in, it's already the case in practice, but we
     should still make sure the semantic of those APIs are clear. We
     added quite a bit for QEmu, but for example I saw on IRC that VBox
     could emulate a network unplug/replug on a domain interface, and
     that would be a good addition even if a priori no other hypervisor
     supports it.
   - Make clear that all libvirt APIs are available remotely, which is
     key to use libvirt for building management tools.
   - link the goal page from the project main page

As for libvirt project directions, I think it just reflects the natural
evolution in the last couple of years. We are less hypervisor agnostic
and extending in the Host management. Clearly there is interest in
making sure libvirt is complete in term of features for the hypervisors
supported, especially the ones like KVM or LXC which don't really have
integrated management library.

4e3117ae50 Make LXC container startup/shutdown/I/O more robust
The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.

Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.

Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away

This change makes the use of the 'cpu', 'devices'
and 'memory' cgroups controllers compulsory with
LXC

a757e60a07 domain.rng vs. formatdomain.html#elementsUSB
The Relax-NG schema for domains regarding <hostdev> doesn't match what's
implemented in src/conf/domain_conf.c#virDomainHostdevDefFormat(): The
implementation only requires @type, but the schema currently either
required none or all three attributes (@mode, @type, and @managed) to be
defined together, because they are declared in the same
<optional)-section. (@managed is currently even undocumented on
<http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsUSB>).

Thus the following minimal <hostdev>-example fails to validate:
<domain type='test'>
        <name>N</name>
        <memory>4096</memory>
        <bootloader>/bin/false</bootloader>
        <os>
                <type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
        </os>
        <devices>
                <hostdev type='pci'>
                        <source>
                                <address bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
                        </source>
                </hostdev>
        </devices>
</domain>

The schema is changed to match the current implementation:
1. @mode is optional (which defaults to 'subsystem')
2. @type is required
3. @managed is optional (which defaults to 'no')

The documentation is updated to mention @managed.

6e9f3dfa0c build: Fix API docs generation in VPATH build
XSLT allows for two ways of generating the output of transformation.
Either implicit, which xsltproc prints to stdout and can be redirected
to a file using -o file. Or explicit, which means the stylesheet
contains <xsl:document> element which specifies where the output should
be saved. This can be used for generating more files by a single run of
xsltproc and -o directory/ can change the directory where the output
files will be stored.

devhelp.xsl is special in that it combines both options in one
stylesheet, which doesn't work well with -o:

xsltproc --nonet -o ./devhelp/ ./devhelp/devhelp.xsl ./libvirt-api.xml

Outputs 4 *.html files into ./devhelp but then tries to write to
./devhelp/ as a file (hence the I/O error) rather than writing output to
the fifth file devhelp/libvirt.devhelp.

This patch modifies devhelp.xsl so that all files are generated using
<xsl:document> element and -o directory/ can be used to override output
directory where those files are saved.

5754dbd56d Give each virtual network bridge its own fixed MAC address
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609463

The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".

The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).

Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.

I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.

Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

e9bd5c0e24 Add txmode attribute to interface XML for virtio backend
This is in response to:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662

Explanation

qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.

'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)

'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)

The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:

    bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
    causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
    tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
    packets.

Solution

This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:

    <interface ...>
      ...
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver txmode='iothread'/>
      ...
    </interface>

I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)

Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of

    qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?

If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.

6cabc0b0d0 qemu: sound: Support intel 'ich6' model
In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.

This is basically Dan's proposal of

    <sound model='ich6'>
        <codec type='output' slot='0'/>
        <codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
    </sound>

without the codec bits implemented.

The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:

    - every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
        manually specified)
    - <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
    - new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
        <sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models

v2:
    Use model='ich6'

v3:
    Use feature detection, from eblake
    Set codec id, bus, and cad values

v4:
    intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available

v5:

1d9c0a08d9 qemu: Allow serving VNC over a unix domain socket
QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:

<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>

This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').

Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.

v2:

94234fa2f8 Introduce per-device boot element
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.

This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.

fe053dbea7 Enable tuning of qemu network tap device "sndbuf" size
This is in response to a request in:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665293

In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).

Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.

The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.

     <interface type='network'>
       ...
       <tune>
         <sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
       ...
       </tune>
     </interface>

175077fd70 Add XML config switch to enable/disable vhost-net support
This patch is in response to

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643050

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.

This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:

     <interface type="network">
       <model type="virtio"/>
       <driver name="vhost"/>

will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.

If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.

a950dd2a31 Change virtual network XML parsing/formatting to support IPv6
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).

* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
  parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
  * there can now be more than one <ip> element.
  * ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
  * new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
  * new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
    (will default to ipv4)
  * define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
  (including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
  correctly parsed and formatted.

check for this.

I also noticed that the dhcp/host/ip was still defined as <text/>,

cc5e2a849c command: improve behavior on no output

7b7cb1ecc9 deprecate fclose() and introduce VIR_{FORCE_}FCLOSE()
Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().

Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()<  0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()<  0.

I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.

7665440956 Do a better job of validating IP and MAC addresses in network.rng
IP addresses and MAC addresses had been defined in the RNG simply as
<text/> meaning that, according to the RNG, any string could go in
there. Of course the C parsing code does a much better job of
validating, but we may as well have this describing the contents
accurately (even though it's currently only used during "make check").

3d10d3489b Put network.rng contents inside <grammar> for uniformity with other RNGs
All the other RNG files in libvirt are enclosed within <grammar>. This
commit makes the syntactical changes necessary to make network.rng fit
that pattern. (This is the first step in adding some data type
definitions to network.rng for more exact validation of IP and MAC
addresses).

Formatting changes (indentation) will be done in a subsequent commit,
so that actual changes to the code won't be obscured by whitespace.

b0ef5c5367 Support SPICE channel security options
This extends the SPICE XML to allow channel security options

    <graphics type='spice' port='-1' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'>
      <channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='record' mode='insecure'/>
    </graphics>

Any non-specified channel uses the default, which allows both
secure & insecure usage

* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Add XML syntax for specifying per

<domain ...>
  <vcpu current='x'>y</vcpu>
...

can now be used to specify 1 <= x <= y current vcpus, in relation
to the boot-time max of y vcpus.  If current is omitted, then
current and max are assumed to be the same value.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add new attribute.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
