Introduce helper program to catch events from dnsmasq and maintain a custom
lease file per network. It supports dhcpv4 and dhcpv6. The file is saved as
"<interface-name>.status".
Each lease contains the following info:

The network and nwfilter drivers both have a need to update
firewall rules. The currently share no code for interacting
with iptables / firewalld. The nwfilter driver is fairly
tied to the concept of creating shell scripts to execute
which makes it very hard to port to talk to firewalld via
DBus APIs.
This patch introduces a virFirewallPtr object which is able
to represent a complete sequence of rule changes, with the
ability to have multiple transactional checkpoints with
rollbacks. By formally separating the definition of the rules
to be applied from the mechanism used to apply them, it is
also possible to write a firewall engine that uses firewalld
DBus APIs natively instead of via the slow firewalld-cmd.

At this point it has a limited functionality and is highly
experimental. Supported domain operations are:
* define
* start
* destroy
* dumpxml
* dominfo
It's only possible to have only one disk device and only one
network, which should be of type bridge.
This function aims at converting LXC configuration into a libvirt
domain XML description to help users migrate from LXC to libvirt.
Here is an example of how the lxc configuration works:
virsh -c lxc:/// domxml-from-native lxc-tools /var/lib/lxc/migrate_test/config
It is possible that some parts couldn't be properly mapped into a
domain XML fragment, so users should carefully review the result
before creating the domain.
fstab files in lxc.mount lines will need to be merged into the
configuration file as lxc.mount.entry.
As we can't know the amount of memory of the host, we have to set a
default value for max_balloon that users will probably want to adjust.
In datatype.c, virGetDomainSnapshot could result in the message:
error: invalid domain pointer in bad domain
Furthermore, while there are a few functions in libvirt.c that
only care about a virDomainPtr without regards to the connection
(such as virDomainGetName), most functions also require a valid
connection. Yet several functions were blindly dereferencing
the conn member without checking it for validity first (such as
virDomainOpenConsole). Rather than try and correct all usage
of VIR_IS_DOMAIN vs. VIR_IS_CONNECTED_DOMAIN, it is easier to
just blindly require that a valid domain object always has a
valid connection object (which should be true anyways, since
every domain object holds a reference to its connection, so the
connection will not be closed until all domain objects have
also been closed to release their reference).
After this patch, all places that validate a domain consistently
report:
error: invalid domain pointer in someFunc
* src/datatypes.h (virCheckDomainReturn, virCheckDomainGoto): New
macros.
* src/datatypes.c (virGetDomainSnapshot): Use new macro.

We support gluster volumes in domain XML, so we also ought to
support them as a storage pool. Besides, a future patch will
want to take advantage of libgfapi to handle the case of a
gluster device holding qcow2 rather than raw storage, and for
that to work, we need a storage backend that can read gluster
storage volume contents. This sets up the framework.
Note that the new pool is named 'gluster' to match a
<disk type='network'><source protocol='gluster'> image source
already supported in a <domain>; it does NOT match the
<pool type='netfs'><source><target type='glusterfs'>,
since that uses a FUSE mount to a local file name rather than
a network name.
This and subsequent patches have been tested against glusterfs
3.4.1 (available on Fedora 19); there are likely bugs in older
versions that may prevent decent use of gfapi, so this patch
enforces the minimum version tested. A future patch may lower
the minimum. On the other hand, I hit at least two bugs in
3.4.1 that will be fixed in 3.5/3.4.2, where it might be worth
raising the minimum: glfs_readdir is nicer to use than
glfs_readdir_r [1], and glfs_fini should only return failure on
an actual failure [2].

The patch adds the backend driver to support iSCSI format storage pools
and volumes for ESX host. The mapping of ESX iSCSI specifics to Libvirt
is as follows:
1. ESX static iSCSI target <------> Libvirt Storage Pools
2. ESX iSCSI LUNs <------> Libvirt Storage Volumes.
The above understanding is based on http://libvirt.org/storage.html.
The operation supported on iSCSI pools includes:
1. List storage pools & volumes.
2. Get XML descriptor operaion on pools & volumes.
3. Lookup operation on pools & volumes by name, UUID and path (if applicable).
iSCSI pools does not support operations such as: Create / remove pools
and volumes.
To be able todo controlled shutdown/reboot of containers an
API to talk to init via /dev/initctl is required. Fortunately
this is quite straightforward to implement, and is supported
by both sysvinit and systemd. Upstart support for /dev/initctl

The patch refactors the current ESX storage driver due to following reasons:
1. Given most of the public APIs exposed by the storage driver in Libvirt
remains same, ESX storage driver should not implement logic specific
for only one supported format (current implementation only supports VMFS).
2. Decoupling interface from specific storage implementation gives us an
extensible design to hook implementation for other supported storage
formats.
This patch refactors the current driver to implement it as a facade pattern i.e.
the driver exposes all the public libvirt APIs, but uses backend drivers to get
the required task done. The backend drivers provide implementation specific to
the type of storage device.
File changes:
------------------
esx_storage_driver.c ----> esx_storage_driver.c (base storage driver)
|
|---> esx_storage_backend_vmfs.c (VMFS backend)

The previously introduced virFile{Lock,Unlock} APIs provide a
way to acquire/release fcntl() locks on individual files. For
unknown reason though, the POSIX spec says that fcntl() locks
are released when *any* file handle referring to the same path
is closed. In the following sequence
threadA: fd1 = open("foo")
threadB: fd2 = open("foo")
threadA: virFileLock(fd1)
threadB: virFileLock(fd2)
threadB: close(fd2)
you'd expect threadA to come out holding a lock on 'foo', and
indeed it does hold a lock for a very short time. Unfortunately
when threadB does close(fd2) this releases the lock associated
with fd1. For the current libvirt use case for virFileLock -
pidfiles - this doesn't matter since the lock is acquired
at startup while single threaded an never released until
exit.
To provide a more generally useful API though, it is necessary
to introduce a slightly higher level abstraction, which is to
be referred to as a "lockspace". This is to be provided by
a virLockSpacePtr object in src/util/virlockspace.{c,h}. The
core idea is that the lockspace keeps track of what files are
already open+locked. This means that when a 2nd thread comes
along and tries to acquire a lock, it doesn't end up opening
and closing a new FD. The lockspace just checks the current
list of held locks and immediately returns VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY.
NB, the API as it stands is designed on the basis that the
files being locked are not being otherwise opened and used
by the application code. One approach to using this API is to
acquire locks based on a hash of the filepath.
eg to lock /var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img the application
might do
virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew("/var/lib/libvirt/imagelocks");
lockname = md5sum("/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, lockname);
NB, in this example, the caller should ensure that the path
is canonicalized before calculating the checksum.
It is also possible to do locks directly on resources by
using a NULL lockspace directory and then using the file
path as the lock name eg
virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew(NULL);
virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, "/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
This is only safe to do though if no other part of the process
will be opening the files. This will be the case when this
code is used inside the soon-to-be-reposted virlockd daemon

While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.
The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).

This patch adds helper functions that enable us to use libssh2 in
conjunction with libvirt's virNetSockets for ssh transport instead of
spawning "ssh" client process.
This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboard interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt. No
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.
Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "known_hosts" files is supported.
Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
not (yet) supported.
Move the functions the parse/format, and validate PCI addresses to

The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:
within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>
Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements. If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.
Some examples:
<interface type='hostdev'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>

<mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)
An ESX server has one or more PhysicalNics that represent the actual

A libvirt virtual network is mapped to a HostVirtualSwitch. On the
physical side a HostVirtualSwitch can be connected to PhysicalNics.
On the virtual side a HostVirtualSwitch has HostPortGroups that are
mapped to libvirt virtual network's portgroups. Typically there is
HostPortGroups named 'VM Network' that is used to connect virtual
machines to a HostVirtualSwitch. A second HostPortGroup typically
named 'Management Network' is used to connect the hypervisor itself
to the HostVirtualSwitch. This one is not mapped to a libvirt virtual
network's portgroup. There can be more HostPortGroups than those
typical two on a HostVirtualSwitch.

The virtual counterparts of the PhysicalNic is the HostVirtualNic for
the hypervisor and the VirtualEthernetCard for the virtual machines
that are grouped into HostPortGroups.

The currently implemented network driver can list, define and undefine
HostVirtualSwitches including HostPortGroups for virtual machines.
Existing HostVirtualSwitches cannot be edited yet. This will be added
in a followup patch.
Parallels Cloud Server has one serious discrepancy with libvirt:
libvirt stores domain configuration files in one place, and storage
files in other places (with the API of storage pools and storage volumes).
Parallels Cloud Server stores all domain data in a single directory,
for example, you may have domain with name fedora-15, which will be
located in '/var/parallels/fedora-15.pvm', and it's hard disk image will be
in '/var/parallels/fedora-15.pvm/harddisk1.hdd'.
I've decided to create storage driver, which produces pseudo-volumes
(xml files with volume description), and they will be 'converted' to
real disk images after attaching to a VM.
So if someone creates VM with one hard disk using virt-manager,
at first virt-manager creates a new volume, and then defines a
domain. We can lookup a volume by path in XML domain definition
and find out location of new domain and size of its hard disk.
