The change in commit aed4986322
was incomplete, missing a couple of cases of /system. This
caused failure to start VMs.

After discussions with systemd developers it was decided that
a better default policy for resource partitions is to have
3 default partitions at the top level
/system - system services
/machine - virtual machines / containers
/user - user login session
This ensures that the default policy isolates guest from
user login sessions & system services, so a mis-behaving
guest can't consume 100% of CPU usage if other things are
contending for it.
Thus we change the default partition from /system to
/machine

The virCgroupNewDriver method had a 'bool privileged' param.
If a false value was ever passed in, it would simply not
work, since non-root users don't have any privileges to create
new cgroups. Just delete this broken code entirely and make
the QEMU driver skip cgroup setup in non-privileged mode

Historically QEMU/LXC guests have been placed in a cgroup layout
that is
$LOCATION-OF-LIBVIRTD/libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME
This is bad for a number of reasons
- The cgroup hierarchy gets very deep which seriously
impacts kernel performance due to cgroups scalability
limitations.
- It is hard to setup cgroup policies which apply across
services and virtual machines, since all VMs are underneath
the libvirtd service.
To address this the default cgroup location is changed to
be
/system/$VMNAME.{lxc,qemu}.libvirt
This puts virtual machines at the same level in the hierarchy
as system services, allowing consistent policy to be setup
across all of them.
This also honours the new resource partition location from the
XML configuration, for example
<resource>
<partition>/virtualmachines/production</partitions>
</resource>
will result in the VM being placed at
/virtualmachines/production/$VMNAME.{lxc,qemu}.libvirt
NB, with the exception of the default, /system, path which
is intended to always exist, libvirt will not attempt to
auto-create the partitions in the XML. It is the responsibility
of the admin/app to configure the partitions. Later libvirt
APIs will provide a way todo this.

A resource partition is an absolute cgroup path, ignoring the
current process placement. Expose a virCgroupNewPartition API
for constructing such cgroups

Rename all the virCgroupForXXX methods to use the form
virCgroupNewXXX since they are all constructors. Also
make sure the output parameter is the last one in the
list, and annotate all pointers as non-null. Fix up
all callers, and make sure they use true/false not 0/1
for the boolean parameters

Instead of calling virCgroupForDomain every time we need
the virCgrouPtr instance, just do it once at Vm startup
and cache a reference to the object in virLXCDomainObjPrivatePtr
until shutdown of the VM. Removing the virCgroupPtr from
the LXC driver state also means we don't have stale mount
info, if someone mounts the cgroups filesystem after libvirtd
has been started

Currently when getting an instance of virCgroupPtr we will
create the path in all cgroup controllers. Only at the virt
driver layer are we attempting to filter controllers. This
is bad because the mere act of creating the dirs in the
controllers can have a functional impact on the kernel,
particularly for performance.
Update the virCgroupForDriver() method to accept a bitmask
of controllers to use. Only create dirs in the controllers
that are requested. When creating cgroups for domains,
respect the active controller list from the parent cgroup

The virCgroupGetAppRoot is not clear in its meaning. Change
to virCgroupForSelf to highlight that this returns the
cgroup config for the caller's process

Currently the LXC controller creates the cgroup, configures the
resources and adds the task all in one go. This is not sufficiently
flexible for the forthcoming NBD integration. We need to make sure
the NBD process gets into the right cgroup immediately, but we can
not have limits (in particular the device ACL) applied at the point
where we start qemu-nbd. So create a virLXCCgroupCreate method
which creates the cgroup and adds the current task to be called
early, and leave virLXCCgroupSetup to only do resource config.

This adds support for host device passthrough with the
LXC driver. Since there is only a single kernel image,
it doesn't make sense to pass through PCI devices, but
USB devices are fine. For the latter we merely need to
make the /dev/bus/usb/NNN/MMM character device exist
in the container's /dev

Currently LXC guests can be given arbitrary pre-mounted
filesystems, however, for some usecases it is more appropriate
to provide block devices which the container can mount itself.
This first impl only allows for <disk type='block'>, in other
words exposing a host disk device to a container. Since LXC
does not have device namespace virtualization, we are cheating
a little bit. If the XML specifies /dev/sdc4 to be given to
the container as /dev/sda1, when we do the mknod /dev/sda1
in the container's /dev, we actually use the major:minor
number of /dev/sdc4, not /dev/sda1.

with this patch,container's meminfo will be shown based on
containers' mem cgroup.
Right now,it's impossible to virtualize all values in meminfo,
I collect some values such as MemTotal,MemFree,Cached,Active,
Inactive,Active(anon),Inactive(anon),Active(file),Inactive(anon),
Active(file),Inactive(file),Unevictable,SwapTotal,SwapFree.
if I miss something, please let me know.

this patch addes fuse support for libvirt lxc.
we can use fuse filesystem to generate sysinfo dynamically,
So we can isolate /proc/meminfo,cpuinfo and so on through
fuse filesystem.
we mount fuse filesystem for every container.
the mount name is libvirt,mount point is

The LXC driver relies on use of cgroups to kill off LXC processes
in shutdown. If cgroups aren't available, we're unable to kill
off processes, so we must treat lack of cgroups as a fatal startup
error.

The code setting up LXC cgroups used an 'rc' variable both
for capturing the return value of methods it calls, and
its own return status. The result was that several failures
in setting up cgroups would actually result in success being
returned.
Use a separate 'ret' for tracking return value as per normal
code design in other parts of libvirt
