At the time that the network driver allocates a connection to a
network, the tap device that will be used hasn't yet been created -
that will be done later by qemu (or lxc or whoever) - but if the
network has macTableManager='libvirt', then when we do get around to
creating the tap device, we will need to add an entry for it to the
network bridge's fdb (forwarding database) *and* turn off learning and
unicast_flood for that tap device in the bridge's sysfs settings. This
means that qemu needs to know both the bridge name as well as the
setting of macTableManager, so we either need to create a new API to
retrieve that info, or just pass it back in the ActualNetDef that is
created during networkAllocateActualDevice. We choose the latter
method, since it's already done for the bridge device, and it has the
side effect of making the information available in domain status.
(NB: in the future, I think that the tap device should actually be
created by networkAllocateActualDevice(), as that will solve several
other problems, but that is a battle for another day, and this
information will still be useful outside the network driver)
When the actualType of a virDomainNetDef is "network", it means that
we are connecting to a libvirt-managed network (routed, natted, or
isolated) which does use a bridge device (created by libvirt). In the
past we have required drivers such as qemu to call the public API to
retrieve the bridge name in this case (even though it is available in
the NetDef's ActualNetDef if the actualType is "bridge" (i.e., an
externally-created bridge that isn't managed by libvirt). There is no
real reason for this difference, and as a matter of fact it
complicates things for qemu. Also, there is another bridge-related
attribute (macTableManager) that will need to be available in both
cases, so this makes things consistent.
In order to avoid problems when restarting libvirtd after an update
from an older version that *doesn't* store the network's bridgename in
the ActualNetDef, we also need to put it in place during
networkNotifyActualDevice() (this function is run for each interface
of each domain whenever libvirtd is restarted).
Along with making the bridge name available in the internal object, it
is also now reported in the <source> element of the <interface> state
XML (or the <actual> subelement in the internally-stored format).
The one oddity about this change is that usually there is a separate
union for every different "type" in a higher level object (e.g. in the
case of a virDomainNetDef there are separate "network" and "bridge"
members of the union that pivots on the type), but in this case
network and bridge types both have exactly the same attributes, so the
"bridge" member is used for both type==network and type==bridge.
The macTableManager attribute of a network's bridge subelement tells
libvirt how the bridge's MAC address table (used to determine the
egress port for packets) is managed. In the default mode, "kernel",
management is left to the kernel, which usually determines entries in
part by turning on promiscuous mode on all ports of the bridge,
flooding packets to all ports when the correct destination is unknown,
and adding/removing entries to the fdb as it sees incoming traffic
from particular MAC addresses. In "libvirt" mode, libvirt turns off
learning and flooding on all the bridge ports connected to guest
domain interfaces, and adds/removes entries according to the MAC
addresses in the domain interface configurations. A side effect of
turning off learning and unicast_flood on the ports of a bridge is
that (with Linux kernel 3.17 and newer), the kernel can automatically
turn off promiscuous mode on one or more of the bridge's ports
(usually only the one interface that is used to connect the bridge to
the physical network). The result is better performance (because
packets aren't being flooded to all ports, and can be dropped earlier
when they are of no interest) and slightly better security (a guest
can still send out packets with a spoofed source MAC address, but will
only receive traffic intended for the guest interface's configured MAC
address).
The attribute looks like this in the configuration:
<network>
<name>test</name>
<bridge name='br0' macTableManager='libvirt'/>
...
This patch only adds the config knob, documentation, and test
cases. The functionality behind this knob is added in later patches.

The function virNetworkObjListExport() in network_conf.c had a call to
the public API virNetworkFree() which was causing a link error:
CCLD libvirt_driver_vbox_network_impl.la
./.libs/libvirt_conf.a(libvirt_conf_la-network_conf.o): In function `virNetworkObjListExport':
/home/laine/devel/libvirt/src/conf/network_conf.c:4496: undefined reference to `virNetworkFree'
This would happen when I added
#include "network_conf.h"
into domain_conf.h, then attempted to call a new function from that
file (and enum converter, similar to virNetworkForwardTypeToString())
In the end, virNetworkFree() ends up just calling virObjectUnref(obj)
anyway (after clearing all pending errors, which we probably *don't*
want to do in the cleanup of a utility function), so this is likely
more correct than the original code as well.
Commit id '0d36a5d05' modified the code slightly, but removed the
return value check thus causing Coverity to complain that this call
was the only one where the return value wasn't checked. Since nothing
was done previously if there was a failure, just use ignore_value here
to pacify Coverity

The virStoragePoolSourceFindDuplicate only checks the incoming definition
against the same type of pool as the def; however, for "scsi_host" and
"fc_host" adapter pools, it's possible that either some pool "scsi_host"
adapter definition is already using the scsi_hostN that the "fc_host"
adapter definition wants to use or some "fc_host" pool adapter definition
is using a vHBA scsi_hostN or parent scsi_hostN that an incoming "scsi_host"
definition is trying to use.
This patch adds the mismatched type checks and adds extraneous comments
to describe what each check is determining.
This patch also modifies the documentation to be describe what scsi_hostN
devices a "scsi_host" source adapter should use and which to avoid. It also

environments it's better to define which parent to use so that the duplicate
pool checks can be done properly.

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

As qemu is now able to notify us about change of the channel state used
for communication with the guest agent we now can more precisely track
the state of the guest agent.
To allow notifying management apps this patch implements a new event
that will be triggered on changes of the guest agent state.
To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for

attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.

Introduce a 'managed' attribute to allow libvirt to decide whether to
delete a vHBA vport created via external means such as nodedev-create.
The code currently decides whether to delete the vHBA based solely on
whether the parent was provided at creation time. However, that may not
be the desired action, so rather than delete and force someone to create
another vHBA via an additional nodedev-create allow the configuration of
the storage pool to decide the desired action.
During createVport when libvirt does the VPORT_CREATE, set the managed
value to YES if not already set to indicate to the deleteVport code that
it should delete the vHBA when the pool is destroyed.
If libvirtd is restarted all the memory only state was lost, so for a
persistent storage pool, use the virStoragePoolSaveConfig in order to
write out the managed value.
Because we're now saving the current configuration, we need to be sure
to not save the parent in the output XML if it was undefined at start.
Saving the name would cause future starts to always use the same parent
which is not the expected result when not providing a parent. By not
providing a parent, libvirt is expected to find the best available
vHBA port for each subsequent (re)start.
At deleteVport, use the new managed value to decide whether to execute
the VPORT_DELETE. Since we no longer save the parent in memory or in
XML when provided, if it was not provided, then we have to look it up.

Passing a copy of the storage pool adapter to a function just changes the
copy of the fields in the particular function and then when returning to
the caller those changes are discarded. While not yet biting us in the
storage clean-up case, it did cause an issue for the fchost storage pool
startup case, createVport. The issue was at startup, if no parent is found
in the XML, the code will search for the 'best available' parent and then
store that in the in memory copy of the adapter. Of course, in this case
it was a copy, so when returning to the virStorageBackendSCSIStartPool that
change was discarded (or lost) from the pool->def->source.adapter which
meant at shutdown (deleteVport), the code assumed no adapter was passed
and skipped the deletion, leaving the vHBA created by libvirt still defined
requiring an additional stop of a nodedev-destroy to remove.
Adjusted the createVport to take virStoragePoolDefPtr instead of the
adapter copy. Then use the virStoragePoolSourceAdapterPtr when processing.
A future patch will need the 'def' anyway, so this just sets up for that.
virDomainChrSourceDefIsEqual should return 'true' for
identical SPICEVMC chardevs, and those that have no source
specification.

As reviewing patches upstream it occurred to me, that we have two
functions doing nearly the same: virDomainParseMemory which
expects XML in the following format:
<memory unit='MiB'>1337</memory>
The other function being virDomainHugepagesParseXML expecting the
following format:
<someElement size='1337' unit='MiB'/>
It wouldn't matter to have two functions handle two different
scenarios like this if we could only not copy code that handles
32bit arches around. So this code merges the common parts into
one by inventing new @units_xpath argument to
virDomainParseMemory which allows overriding the default location
of @unit attribute in XML. With this change both scenarios above
can be parsed with virDomainParseMemory.

PowerISA allows processors to run VMs in binary compatibility ("compat")
mode supporting an older version of ISA. QEMU has recently added support to
explicitly denote a VM running in compatibility mode through commit 6d9412ea
& 8dfa3a5e85. Now, a "compat" mode VM can be run by invoking this qemu
commandline on a POWER8 host: -cpu host,compat=power7.
This patch allows libvirt to exploit cpu mode 'host-model' to describe this
new mode for PowerKVM guests. For example, when a user wants to request a
power7 vm to run in compatibility mode on a Power8 host, this can be
described in XML as follows :
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model>power7</model>

This is a reaction to Michal's fix [1] for non-NUMA systems that also
splits out conf/ out of util/ because libvirt_util shouldn't require
libvirt_conf if it is the other way around. This particular use case
worked, but we're trying to avoid it as mentioned [2], many times.
The only functions from virnuma.c that needed numatune_conf were
virDomainNumatuneNodesetIsAvailable() and virNumaSetupMemoryPolicy().
The first one should be in numatune_conf as it works with
virDomainNumatune, the second one just needs nodeset and mode, both of
which can be passed without the need of numatune_conf.
Apart from fixing that, this patch also fixes recently added
code (between commits d2460f85^..5c8515620) that doesn't support
non-contiguous nodesets. It uses new function
virNumaNodesetIsAvailable(), which doesn't need a stub as it doesn't use
any libnuma functions, to check if every specified nodeset is available.

Commit 6c9a8a4 (Oct 2014) exposed a long-standing issue on 32-bit
machines: code related to virDomainSetMemoryParameters has always
been documented as using a 64-bit limit, but it was implemented by
calling virDomainParseMemory which enforced an 'unsigned long'
limit. Since VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED capped to a
long is -1, but virDomainParseScaledValue no longer accepts
negative values, an attempt to use 2^53-1 as a hard memory limit
started failing the testsuite. However, the problem with capping
things artificially low has existed for much longer - ever since
commits 4888f0fb and 2e22f23 (Mar 2012) switched internal tracking
from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned long long' (prior to that time,
the cap was a side-effect of the choice of types). We _have_ to
cap the balloon memory values, (no thanks to baked in 'unsigned long'
of API such as virDomainSetMaxMemory or virDomainGetInfo with no
counterpart API that guarantees 64-bit access to those numbers)
but memory parameters have never needed the artificial limit.
At any rate, the solution is to make the parser function gain a
parameter, and only do the reduced 32-bit cap for the values that
are constrained due to API.

Resolve a crash in libvirtd resulting from commit id 'a4bd62ad' (1.0.6)
which added parentaddr and unique_id to allow unique identification of
a scsi_host, but assumed that all the pool entries and the incoming
definition would be similarly defined. If the existing pool uses the
'name' attribute and an incoming pool is using the parentaddr/unique_id,
then the code will attempt to compare the existing name string against
the incoming name string which doesn't exist (is NULL) and results in
a core (STREQ).
Conversely, if the existing pool used the parentaddr/unique_id and the
to be defined pool used the name, then the comparison would be against
the parentaddr, but since the incoming pool doesn't have one - that would
leave the comparison against a parentaddr of all 0's and a unique_id of 0,
which will always comparison to fail. This means someone could define the
same source adapter for two pools
In order to resolve this, adjust the code to get the 'host#' to be used
by the storage scsi backend in order to check/start the pool and make sure
the incoming definition doesn't match any of the existing pool defs.
