2642cc0f66 qemu: Don't lie about @ndevAlias when translating FSInfo
When virDomainGetFSInfo() is called over a QEMU/KVM domain it
results into calling of 'guest-get-fsinfo' guest agent command to
which it replies with info on guest (mounted) filesystems. When
filling return structure we also try to do basic lookup and
translate guest agent provided disk address into disk target (as
seen in domain XML). This can of course fail - guest can have
variety of disks not recorded in domain XML (iSCSI, scsi_debug,
NFS to name a few). If that's the case, a debug message is logged
and no disk target is added into the return structure.

However, due to the way our code is written the caller is led to
believe that the target was added into the structure. This may
lead to a situation where the array of disk targets (strings)
contains NULL. But our RPC structure says the array contains only
non-NULL strings. This results in somewhat 'cryptic' (at least to
users) error message:

  error: Unable to get filesystem information
  error: Unable to encode message payload

9ad1e1d897 qemu: Bring if() outside from loop in virDomainFSInfoFormat()
After previous commit, the freeing of @info_ret inside of
virDomainFSInfoFormat() looks like this:

  for () {
    if (info_ret)
      virDomainFSInfoFree(info_ret[i]);
  }

It is needless to compare @info_ret against NULL in each
iteration. We can switch the order and do the comparison first
followed by the loop.

59c80e9fd0 qemu: Move qemuAgentFSInfo array free into qemuDomainGetFSInfo()
When qemuDomainGetFSInfo() is called it calls
qemuDomainGetFSInfoAgent() which executes 'guest-get-fsinfo'
guest agent command, parses returned JSON and returns an array of
qemuAgentFSInfo structures (well, pointers to those structs).
Then it grabs a domain job and tries to do some matching of guest
returned info against domain definition. This matching is done in
virDomainFSInfoFormat() which also frees the array of
qemuAgentFSInfo structures allocated earlier.

But this is not just. If acquiring the domain job fails (or
domain activeness check executed right after that fails) then
virDomainFSInfoFormat() is not called, leaking the array of
structs.

5922b2b104 qemu: Drop needless check in virDomainFSInfoFormat()
As the very first thing, this function checks whether the number
of items inside @agentinfo array is not negative. This is
redundant as the only caller - qemuDomainGetFSInfo() already
checked for that and would not even call this function if that
was the case.

The preferred syntax for boolean options is to set the value "on" or

The long format has been supported with -spice since at least 1.5.3,

ee91c82533 qemuSnapshotCreateActiveExternal: Don't thaw filesystems when freeze fails
If we didn't freeze any filesystems we should not even attempt thawing
them. Additionally 'guest-fsfreeze-freeze' fails if the filesystems are
already frozen, where thawing them may break users data integrity if
they used VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE accidentally after an
explicit virDomainFSFreeze and the next snapshot without that flag would
be taken with already thawed filesystems.

This effectively reverts 7c736bab06 .
Libvirt nowadays checks whether the guest agent is connected and pings
it before issuing an command so it's very unlikely that we'd end up in a
situation where qemuSnapshotCreateActiveExternal froze filesystems and
didn't thaw them.

Additionally we now discourage the use of
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE since users have better control if
they freeze the FS themselves.

- pass --workdir to podman to retain the original behaviour we had with

as provide details of deprecated features.

The output of this API is explicitly targetted at humans, not
machines, so it is inappropriate to attempt to pattern match on
the strings and take action off them, not least because the messages
are marked for translation.

Should there be a demand for machine targetted information, this
would have to be addressed via a new API, and is not planned at
this point in time.

db64acfbda conf: parse/format <teaming> element in plain <hostdev>
The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.

When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).

It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).

At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.

Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).

But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.

To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)

(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

dea2710911 conf: separate Parse/Format functions for virDomainNetTeamingInfo
In preparation for using the same element in two places, split the
parsing/formating for that subelement out of the virDomainNetDef
functions into their own functions.

13be68094d conf: use virDomainNetTeamingInfoPtr instead of virDomainNetTeamingInfo
To make it easier to split out the parsing/formatting of the <teaming>
element into separate functions (so we can more easily add the
<teaming> element to <hostdev>, change its virDomainNetDef so that it
points to a virDomainNetTeamingInfo rather than containing one.
