When there isn't a ssh -X type session running and a user has not
been added to the libvirt group, attempts to run 'virsh -c qemu:///system'
commands from an otherwise unprivileged user will fail with rather
generic or opaque error message:
"error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate"
This patch will adjust the error code and message to help reflect the
situation that the problem is the requested mechanism is UNAVAILABLE and
a slightly more descriptive error. The result on a failure then becomes:
"error: authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to
authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage'"
A bit more history on this - at one time a failure generated the
following type message when running the 'pkcheck' as a subprocess:
"error: authentication failed: polkit\56retains_authorization_after_challenge=1
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available."
but, a patch was generated to adjust the error message to help provide
more details about what failed. This was pushed as commit id '96a108c99'.
That patch prepended a "polkit: " to the output. It really didn't solve
the problem, but gave a hint.
After some time it was deemed using DBus API calls directly was a
better way to go (since pkcheck calls them anyway). So, commit id
'1b854c76' (more or less) copied the code from remoteDispatchAuthPolkit
and adjusted it. Then commit id 'c7542573' adjusted the remote.c
code to call the new API (virPolkitCheckAuth). Finally, commit id
'308c0c5a' altered the code to call DBus APIs directly. In doing
so, it reverted the failing error message to the generic message
that would have been received from DBus anyway.
This API is merely a convenience API, i.e. when managing clients connected to
daemon's servers, we should know (convenience) which server the specific client
is connected to. This implies a client-side representation of a server along
with a basic API to let the administrating client know what servers are actually
available on the daemon.

This is the key structure of all management operations performed on the
daemon/clients. An admin client needs to be able to identify
another client (either admin or non-privileged client) to perform an
action on it. This identification includes a server the client is
connected to, thus a client-side representation of a server is needed.

The libvirt-common.h is build time generated file from .in.
Obviously, it's generated into builddir and not srcdir. Problem
is, the list of header files to install, virinc_HEADERS contains
only $(srcdir)/*.h and this misses libvirt-common.h. This problem

This new algorithm adds support for wiping volumes using TRIM.
It does not overwrite all the data in a volume, but it tells the
backing storage pool/driver that all bytes in a volume can be
discarded.
It depends on the backing storage pool how this is handled.
A SCSI backend might send UNMAP commands to remove all data present
on a LUN.
A Ceph backend might use rbd_discard() to instruct the Ceph cluster
that all data on that RBD volume can be discarded.

Commmit df8192aa introduced admin related rename and some minor
(caused by automated approach, aka sed) and some more severe isues along with
it. First reason to revert is the inconsistency with libvirt library.
Although we deal with the daemon directly rather than with a specific
hypervisor, we still do have a connection. That being said, contributors might
get under the impression that AdmDaemonNew would spawn/start a new daemon
(since it's admin API, why not...), or AdmDaemonClose would do the exact
opposite or they might expect DaemonIsAlive report overall status of the daemon
which definitely isn't the case.
The second reason to revert this patch is renaming virt-admin client. The
client tool does not necessarily have to reflect the names of the API's it's
using in his internals. An example would be 's/vshAdmConnect/vshAdmDaemon'
where noone can be certain of what the latter function really does. The former
is quite expressive about some connection magic it performs, but the latter does
not say anything, especially when vshAdmReconnect and vshAdmDisconnect were
left untouched.

Add flags handling to the virStoragePoolCreate and virStoragePoolCreateXML
API's which will allow the caller to provide the capability for the storage
pool create API's to also perform a pool build during creation rather than
requiring the additional buildPool step. This will allow transient pools
to be defined, built, and started.
The new flags are:
* VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD
Perform buildPool without any flags passed.
* VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD_OVERWRITE
Perform buildPool using VIR_STORAGE_POOL_BUILD_OVERWRITE flag.
* VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE
Perform buildPool using VIR_STORAGE_POOL_BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE flag.
It is up to the backend to handle the processing of build flags. The
overwrite and no-overwrite flags are mutually exclusive.
NB:
This patch is loosely based upon code originally authored by Osier
Yang that were not reviewed and pushed, see:

virAdmConnect was named after virConnect, but after some discussions,
most of the APIs called will be working with remote daemon and starting
them virAdmDaemon will make more sense. Only possibly controversal name
is CloseCallback (de)registration, and connecting to the daemon (which
will still be Open/Close), but even this makes sense if one thinks about
the daemon being opened and closed, e.g. as file, etc.
This way all the APIs working with the daemon will start with
virAdmDaemon prefix, they will accept virAdmDaemonPtr as first parameter
and that will better suit with other namings as well (virDomain*,
virAdmServer*, etc.).
Because in virt-admin, the connection name does not refer to a struct
that would have a connect in its name, also adjust 'connname' in
clients. And because it is not used anywhere in the vsh code, move it
from there into each client.

Introduce a new API to get libvirt version. It is worth noting, that
libvirt-admin and libvirt share the same version number. Unfortunately,
our existing API isn't generic enough to be used with virAdmConnectPtr
as well. Also this patch wires up this API to the virt-admin client
as a generic cmdVersion command.
As we need a client disconnect handler, we also need a mechanism to register
such handlers for a client. This patch introduced both the close callbacks and
also the client vshAdmCatchDisconnect handler to be registered with it. By
registering the handler we still need to make sure the client can react to
daemon's events like disconnect or keepalive, so asynchronous I/O event polling
is necessary to be enabled too.
Since most of our APIs rely on an acive functional connection to a daemon and
we have such a mechanism in libvirt already, there's need to have such a way in
libvirt-admin as well. By introducing a new public API, this patch provides
support to check for an active connection.
Unfortunately, client side version retrieval API virGetVersion uses
one-time initialization (due to the fact we might not have initialized the
library by calling connect prior to this) which is not completely compatible
with admin initialization. This API is rather simplistic and reimplementing
it for admin might be the preferred method of reusing it. Note that even though
the method will be reimplemented, the version number is still the same for both
the libvirt and libvirt-admin library.
As it turned out, we need to share some enums and declarations between
libvirt.h and libvirt-admin.h, but since our policy forbids direct includes of
libvirt*.h, there has to be some header exempt from this rule. This patch moves
the relevant part of code from libvirt.h.in to libvirt-common.h.in. Moreover,
since there is no need to have libvirt.h generated anymore, introduce a new
header libvirt.h which was previosly ignored from git and make the common
header ignored and generated instead.
Copy the virtlockd codebase across to form the initial virlogd
code. Simple search & replace of s/lock/log/ and gut the remote
protocol & dispatcher. This gives us a daemon that starts up
and listens for connections, but does nothing with them.

This patch introduces a new flag to force volume removal,

This is a public library, it shouldn't include anything that is
internal. Including the library in it's current state to an example
application fails the preprocessor phase.
virDomainMigrateFinish* APIs were unfortunately designed to return the
pointer to the domain on destination and NULL on error. This looks OK in
normal cases but the same API is also called when we know migration
failed and thus we expect Finish to return NULL even if it actually did
all it was supposed to do without any error. The call is defined to
return nonnull domain pointer over RPC, which means returning NULL will
always result in an error being send. If this was not in fact an error,
the API itself wouldn't set anything to the thread local virError, which
makes the RPC layer come up with it's own "Library function returned
error but did not set virError" error.
This is quite confusing and also hard to detect by the caller. This
patch adds a special error code which can be used to check that Finish
successfully aborted migration.

Just one of the simplest functions that returns string "Clients: X"
where X is the number of connected clients to daemon's first
subserver (the original one), so it can be tested using virsh, ipython,
etc.
The subserver is gathered by incrementing its reference
counter (similarly to getting qemu capabilities), so there is no
deadlock with admin subserver in this API.
Here you can see how functions should be named in the client (virAdm*)
and server (adm*).
There is also a parameter @flags that must be 0, which helps testing
proper error propagation into the client.

Initial scratch of the admin library. It has its own virAdmConnectPtr
that inherits from virAbstractConnectPtr and thus trivially supports
error reporting.
There's pkg-config file added and spec-file adjusted as well.
Since the library should be "minimalistic" and not depend on any other
library, the list of files is especially crafted for it. Most of them
could've been put to it's own sub-libraries that would be LIBADD'd to
libvirt_util, libvirt_net_rpc and libvirt_setuid_rpc_client to minimize
the number of object files being built, but that's a refactoring that
isn't the orginal aim of this commit.

On the s/390x architecture, libvirt may already return 0 in the
node_info->mhz field (see src/nodeinfo.c:linuxNodeInfoCPUPopulate).
We may also want to return this on aarch64 in future, because
calculating the proper value requires SMBIOS, which is not available
on non-server-class systems (specifically on systems which don't
adhere to the SBSA standard).
Therefore this change documents the existing behaviour and provides a

virDomainGetJobStats is able to report statistics of a completed
migration, however to get usable downtime and total time statistics both
hosts have to keep synchronized time. To provide at least some
estimation of the times even when NTP daemons are not running on both
hosts we can just ignore the time needed to transfer a migration cookie
to the destination host. The result will be also inaccurate but a bit
more predictable. The total/down time will just be at least what we
report.

When libvirt is starting a domain, it reports the state as SHUTOFF until
it's RUNNING. This is not ideal because domain startup may take a long
time (usually because of some configuration issues, firewalls blocking
access to network disks, etc.) and domain lists provided by libvirt look
awkward. One can see weird shutoff domains with IDs in a list of active
domains or even shutoff transient domains. In any case, it looks more
like a bug in libvirt than a normal state a domain goes through.
