41a2636aa3 enable cgroup cpuset by default
This prepares for subsequent patches which introduce dependence
on cgroup cpuset. Enable cgroup cpuset by default so users don't
have to modify configuration file before encountering a cpuset
error.

cda8bd1a63 build: fix accidental POTFILES.in regression
The original patch for commit 4789fb2 considered renaming a file,
then backed out the name change, but forgot to back out the POTFILES.in
change, resulting in 'make syntax-check' failure.

8951328619 Extend NWFilter parameter parser to cope with lists of values
This patch modifies the NWFilter parameter parser to support multiple
elements with the same name and to internally build a list of items.
An example of the XML looks like this:

        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.2.3'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.2.3.4'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.1.1'/>

The list of values is then stored in the newly introduced data type
virNWFilterVarValue.

The XML formatter is also adapted to print out all items in alphabetical
order sorted by 'name'.

This patch also fixes a bug in the XML schema on the way.

c80296e21a Create rules for each member of a list
This patch extends the NWFilter driver for Linux (ebiptables) to create
rules for each member of a previously introduced list. If for example
an attribute value (internally) looks like this:

IP = [10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3]

then 3 rules will be generated for a rule accessing the variable 'IP',
one for each member of the list. The effect of this is that this now
allows for filtering for multiple values in one field. This can then be
used to support for filtering/allowing of multiple IP addresses per
interface.

An iterator is introduced that extracts each member of a list and
puts it into a hash table which then is passed to the function creating
a rule. For the above example the iterator would cause 3 loops.

581d1cea34 Rework value part of name-value pairs
NWFilters can be provided name-value pairs using the following
XML notation:

      <filterref filter='xyz'>
        <parameter name='PORT' value='80'/>
        <parameter name='VAL' value='abc'/>
      </filterref>

The internal representation currently is so that a name is stored as a
string and the value as well. This patch now addresses the value part of it
and introduces a data structure for storing a value either as a simple
value or as an array for later support of lists.

This patch adjusts all code that was handling the values in hash tables
and makes it use the new data type.

1d8a00cd22 Documentation about chains' priorities, lists of elements etc.
This patch adds several aspects of documentation about the network filtering
system:

- chains, chains' priorities and chains' default priorities
- talks about lists of elements, i.e., a variable assigned multiple values
  (part of already ACK-ed series)
- already mentions the vlan, stp and mac chains added later on
  (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01238.html)
- mentions limitations of vlan filtering (when sent by VM) on Linux systems

6aa99120fa Interleave jumping into chains with filtering rules in 'root' table
The previous patch extends the priority of filtering rules into negative
numbers. We now use this possibility to interleave the jumping into
chains with filtering rules to for example create the 'root' table of
an interface with the following sequence of rules:

Bridge chain: libvirt-I-vnet0, entries: 6, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j I-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j I-vnet0-arp
-p ARP -j ACCEPT 
-p 0x8035 -j I-vnet0-rarp
-p 0x835 -j ACCEPT 
-j DROP 

The '-p ARP -j ACCEPT' rule now appears between the jumps.
Since the 'arp' chain has been assigned priority -700 and the 'rarp'
chain -600, the above ordering can now be achieved with the following
rule:

  <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='-650'>
    <mac protocolid='arp'/>
  </rule>

This patch now sorts the commands generating the above shown jumps into
chains and interleaves their execution with those for generating rules.

f6e80a713f Extend rule priorities into negative numbers
So far rules' priorities have only been valid in the range [0,1000].
Now I am extending their priority into the range [-1000, 1000] for subsequently
being able to sort rules and the access of (jumps into) chains following
priorities.

ea7c73a76f Enable chains with names having a known prefix
This patch enables chains that have a known prefix in their name.
Known prefixes are: 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'arp', 'rarp'. All prefixes
are also protocols that can be evaluated on the ebtables level.

Following the prefix they will be automatically connected to an interface's
'root' chain and jumped into following the protocol they evaluate, i.e.,
a table 'arp-xyz' will be accessed from the root table using

ebtables -t nat -A <iface root table> -p arp -j I-<ifname>-arp-xyz

thus generating a 'root' chain like this one here:

Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp-xyz
-j DROP 

where the chain 'arp-xyz' is accessed for filtering of ARP packets.

2657822e87 Extend the filter XML to support priorities of chains
This patch extends the filter XML to support priorities of chains
in the XML. An example would be:

<filter name='allow-arpxyz' chain='arp-xyz' priority='200'>
[...]
</filter>

The permitted values for priorities are [-1000, 1000].
By setting the priority of a chain the order in which it is accessed
from the interface root chain can be influenced.

4a410218a0 Use scripting for cleaning and renaming of chains
Use scripts for the renaming and cleaning up of chains. This allows us to get
rid of some of the code that is only capable of renaming and removing chains
whose names are hardcoded.

A shell function 'collect_chains' is introduced that is given the name
of an ebtables chain and then recursively determines the names of all
chains that are accessed from this chain and its sub-chains using 'jumps'.

The resulting list of chain names is then used to delete all the found
chains by first flushing and then deleting them.

The same function is also used for renaming temporary filters to their final
names.

I tested this with the bash and dash as script interpreters.

be39b3e4a5 Make filter creation in root table more flexible
Use the previously introduced chain priorities to sort the chains for access
from an interface's 'root' table and have them created in the proper order.
This gets rid of a lot of code that was previously creating the chains in a 
more hardcoded way.

To determine what protocol a filter is used for evaluation do prefix-
matching, i.e., the filter 'arp' is used to filter for the 'arp' protocol,
'ipv4' for the 'ipv4' protocol and 'arp-xyz' will also be used to filter
for the 'arp' protocol following the prefix 'arp' in its name.

4df34ec394 Introduce an internal priority for chains
For better handling of the sorting of chains introduce an internally used
priority. Use a lookup table to store the priorities. For now their actual
values do not matter just that the values cause the chains to be properly
sorted through changes in the following patches. However, the values are
chosen as negative so that once they are sorted along with filtering rules
(whose priority may only be positive for now) they will always be instantiated
before them (lower values cause instantiation before higher values). This
is done to maintain backwards compatibility.

4789fb2e4e Add support for systemd init service
This patch adds support for a systemd init service for libvirtd
and libvirt-guests. The libvirtd.service is *not* written to use
socket activation, since we want libvirtd to start on boot so it
can do guest auto-start.

The libvirt-guests.service is pretty lame, just exec'ing the
original init script for now. Ideally we would factor out the
functionality, into some shared tool.

Instead of

  ./configure --with-init-script=redhat

You can now do

  ./configure --with-init-script=systemd

Or better still:

  ./configure --with-init-script=systemd+redhat

We can also now support install of the upstart init script

* configure.ac: Add systemd, and systemd+redhat options to
  --with-init-script option
* daemon/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* daemon/libvirtd.sysconf: Add note about unused env variable

c74b97156f snapshot: refuse to generate names for non-regular backing files
For whatever reason, the kernel allows you to create a regular
file named /dev/sdc.12345; although this file will disappear the
next time devtmpfs is remounted.  If you let libvirt generate
the name of the external snapshot for a disk image originally
using the block device /dev/sdc, then the domain will be rendered
unbootable once the qcow2 file is lost on the next devtmpfs
remount.  In this case, the user should have used 'virsh
snapshot-create --xmlfile' or 'virsh snapshot-create-as --diskspec'
to specify the name for the qcow2 file in a sane location, rather
than relying on libvirt generating a name that is most likely to
be wrong.  We can help avoid naive mistakes by enforcing that
the user provide the external name for any backing file that is
not a regular file.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotAlignDisks): Only
generate names if backing file exists as regular file.

1ae8eed1b4 virsh: add iface-bridge and iface-unbridge commands
One of the top questions by libvirt users is how to create a host
bridge device so that guests can be directly on the physical
network. There are several example documents that explain how to do
this manually, but following them often results in confusion and
failure. virt-manager does a good job of creating a bridge based on an
existing network device, but not everyone wants to use virt-manager.

This patch adds a new command, iface-bridge that makes it just about
as simple as possible to create a new bridge device based on an
existing ethernet/vlan/bond device (including associating IP
configuration with the bridge rather than the now-attached device),
and start that new bridge up ready for action, eg:

    virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0

For symmetry's sake, it also adds a command to remove a device from a
bridge, restoring the IP config to the now-unattached device:

    virsh iface-unbridge br0

(I had a short debate about whether to do "iface-unbridge eth0"
instead, but that would involve searching through all bridge devices
for the one that contained eth0, which seems like a bit too much
trouble).

NOTE: These two commands require that the netcf library be available
on the host. Hopefully this will provide some extra incentive for
people using suse, debian, ubuntu, and other similar systems to polish
up (and push downstream) the ports to those distros recently pushed to
the upstream netcf repo by Dan Berrange. Anyone interested in helping
with that effort in any way should join the netcf-devel mailing list
(subscription info at
https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/netcf-devel)

During creation of the bridge, it's possible to specify whether or not
the STP protocol should be started up on the bridge and, if so, how
many seconds the bridge should squelch traffic from newly added
devices while learning new topology (defaults are stp='on' and
delay='0', which seems to usually work best for bridges used in the
context of libvirt guests).

There is also an option to not immediately start the bridge (and a
similar option to not immediately start the un-attached device after
destroying the bridge. Default is to start the new device, because in
the case of iface-unbridge not starting is strongly discouraged as it
will leave the system with no network connectivity on that interface
(because it's necessary to destroy/undefine the bridge device before
the unattached device can be defined), and it seemed better to make
the option for iface-bridge behave consistently.

NOTE TO THOSE TRYING THESE COMMANDS FOR THE FIRST TIME: to guard
against any "unexpected" change to configuration, it is advisable to
issue an "virsh iface-begin" command before starting any interface
config changes, and "virsh iface-commit" only after you've verified
that everything is working as you expect. If something goes wrong,
you can always run "virsh iface-rollback" or reboot the system (which
should automatically do iface-rollback).

Aside from adding the code for these two functions, and the two
entries into the command table, the only other change to virsh.c was
to add the option name to vshCommandOptInterfaceBy(), because the
iface-unbridge command names its interface option as "bridge".

virsh.pod has also been updated with short descriptions of these two
new commands.

This is a fatal typo believed to be very likely to happen when using
both i and j at the same time for indexing.

a38710bd65 Don't return a fatal error if receiving unexpected stream data
Due to the asynchronous nature of streams, we might continue to
receive some stream packets from the server even after we have
shutdown the stream on the client side. These should be discarded
silently, rather than raising an error in the RPC layer.

1d46b2e900 Fix handling of stream EOF
Very occasionally the sequence of events from poll would result
in getting a HANGUP on its own, instead of a HANGUP+READABLE
at the same time. In the former case we would send back an error
event to the client, but never send the empty packet to indicate
EOF.
