If a system has a large number of active or active interfaces, it can
be a big waste of time to retrieve and qualify all interfaces if the
caller only wanted one subset. Since netcf has a simple flag for this,
translate the libvirt flag into a netcf flag and let netcf pre-filter.
Getting the MAC address of an interface is actually fairly expensive,
and we've already gotten it and stored it into def, so just keep def
around a bit longer and retrieve it from there.
This reduces the time for "virsh iface-list --all" from 28 to 23
seconds when there are 400 interfaces.
The spec for virConnectListAllInterfaces says that if the pointer that
is supposed to hold the list of interfaces is NULL, the function
should just return the count of interfaces that matched the filter,
but the code never increments the count if the list pointer is NULL.
For stateless, client side drivers, it is never correct to
probe for secondary drivers. It is only ever appropriate to
use the secondary driver that is associated with the
hypervisor in question. As a result the ESX & HyperV drivers
have both been forced to do hacks where they register no-op
drivers for the ones they don't implement.
For stateful, server side drivers, we always just want to
use the same built-in shared driver. The exception is
virtualbox which is really a stateless driver and so wants
to use its own server side secondary drivers. To deal with
this virtualbox has to be built as 3 separate loadable
modules to allow registration to work in the right order.
This can all be simplified by introducing a new struct
recording the precise set of secondary drivers each
hypervisor driver wants
struct _virConnectDriver {
virHypervisorDriverPtr hypervisorDriver;
virInterfaceDriverPtr interfaceDriver;
virNetworkDriverPtr networkDriver;
virNodeDeviceDriverPtr nodeDeviceDriver;
virNWFilterDriverPtr nwfilterDriver;
virSecretDriverPtr secretDriver;
virStorageDriverPtr storageDriver;
};
Instead of registering the hypervisor driver, we now
just register a virConnectDriver instead. This allows
us to remove all probing of secondary drivers. Once we
have chosen the primary driver, we immediately know the
correct secondary drivers to use.

Since virInterfaceFree will call virObjectUnref anyway, let's just use that
directly so as to avoid the possibility that we inadvertently clear out
a pending error message when using the public API.
The shared netcf driver is stateful and inside the daemon so
there is no need to use the networkPrivateData field to get the
driver handle. Just access the global driver handle directly.
Our style overwhelmingly uses hanging braces (the open brace
hangs at the end of the compound condition, rather than on
its own line), with the primary exception of the top level function
body. Fix the few remaining outliers, before adding a syntax
check in a later patch.

we can wire it up and benefit from it. The Makefile change is

Instead of guessing it from the interface name, look into
/proc/net/vlan/<interface>.
This works for devices not named <real_device>.<vlan ID>,
avoiding an error flood when virt-manager keeps asking about
them every second:

Other drivers in libvirt (e.g. network, qemu) will automatically
return the "inactive" (persistent configuration) XML of an object when
that object is inactive. The netcf backend of the interface driver
would always try to return the live status XML of the interface, even
when it was down. Although netcf does return valid XML in that case,
for bond interfaces it is missing almost all of its content, including
the <bond> subelement itself, leading to this error message from
"virsh iface-dumpxml" of a bond interface that is inactive:
error: XML error: bond interface misses the bond element
(this is because libvirt's validation of the XML returned by netcf
always requires a <bond> element be present).
This patch modifies the interface driver netcf backend to check if the
interface is inactive, and in that case always return the inactive XML
(which will always have a <bond> element, thus eliminating the error
message, as well as making operation more in line with other drivers.
This fixes the following bug:

netcfStateInitialize() initializes the driverState variable,
and when netcfStateCleanup is called, it will call virReportError()
if driverState is NULL.
This is not consistent with what other state objects are doing,
they return -1 without reporting an error in such cases.

The netcf interface driver previously had no state driver associated
with it - as a connection was opened, it would create a new netcf
instance just for that connection, and close it when it was
finished. the problem with this is that each connection to libvirt
used up a netlink socket, and there is a per process maximum of ~1000
netlink sockets.
The solution is to create a state driver to go along with the netcf
driver. The state driver will opens a netcf instance, then all
connections share that same netcf instance, thus only a single
netlink socket will be used no matter how many connections are mde to
libvirtd.
This was rather simple to do - a new virObjectLockable class is
created for the single driverState object, which is created in
netcfStateInitialize and contains the single netcf handle; instead of
creating a new object for each client connection, netcfInterfaceOpen
now just increments the driverState object's reference count and puts
a pointer to it into the connection's privateData. Similarly,
netcfInterfaceClose() just un-refs the driverState object (as does
netcfStateCleanup()), and virNetcfInterfaceDriverStateDispose()
handles closing the netcf instance. Since all the functions already
have locking around them, the static lock functions used by all
functions just needed to be changed to call virObjectLock() and
virObjectUnlock() instead of directly calling the virMutex* functions.
This better fits the modern naming scheme in libvirt, and anticipates
an upcoming change where a single instance of this state will be
maintained by a separate state driver, and every instance of the netcf
driver will share the same state.
Convert the type of loop iterators named 'i', 'j', k',
'ii', 'jj', 'kk', to be 'size_t' instead of 'int' or
'unsigned int', also santizing 'ii', 'jj', 'kk' to use
the normal 'i', 'j', 'k' naming

Ensure that all APIs which list interface objects filter
them against the access control system.
This makes the APIs for listing names and counting devices
slightly less efficient, since we can't use the direct
netcf APIs for these tasks. Instead we have to ask netcf
for the full list of objects & iterate over the list
filtering them out.

The virConnectListAllInterfaces method has a double-free of the

an interface to be skipped over. For example when running the
command 'virsh iface-list --inactive'

The udev based interface backend did not allow querying data over a
read-only connection which is different than how the netcf backend
operates. This brings the behavior inline with the default, netcf
backend.
virConnectListAllInterfaces should support to list all of
interfaces when the value of flags is 0. The behaviour is
consistent with other virConnectListAll* APIs

The bridge device was showing the vnet devices created for the domains
as connected to the bridge. libvirt should only show host devices when
trying to get the interface definition rather than the domain devices as
well.
Refactored the interface device type identification to make it more
clear about the operations. Add support for udev devtype to detect
VLANs on Linux 3.7 and newer. Move VLAN detection based on device
name to fallback case.
Mechanical move to break up udevIfaceGetIfaceDef() into different
helpers for each of the interface types to hopefully make the code
easier to follow. This moves the vlan code to
udevIfaceGetIfaceDefVlan().
