The only reason that the ethtool features weren't being retrieved in
an unprivileged libvirtd was because they required ioctl(), and the
ioctl was using an AF_PACKET socket, which requires root. Now that we
are using AF_UNIX for ioctl(), this restriction can be removed.
The exact family of the socket created for the fd used by ioctl(7)
doesn't matter, it just needs to be a socket and not a file. But for
some reason when macvtap support was added, it used
AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM sockets for its ioctls; we later used the same
AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM socket for new ioctls we added, and eventually
modified the other pre-existing ioctl sockets (for creating/deleting
bridges) to also use AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM (that code originally used
AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM).
The problem with using AF_PACKET (intended for sending/receiving "raw"
packets, i.e. packets that can be some protocol other than TCP or UDP)
is that it requires root privileges. This meant that none of the
ioctls in virnetdev.c or virnetdevip.c would work when running
libvirtd unprivileged.
This packet solves that problem by changing the family to AF_UNIX when
creating the socket used for any ioctl().
For some drivers the domain's machine type makes no sense. They
just don't use it. A great example is bhyve driver. Therefore it
makes very less sense to report machine in domain capabilities
XML.

When enabling IPv6 on all interfaces, we may get the host Router
Advertisement routes discarded. To avoid this, the user needs to set
accept_ra to 2 for the interfaces with such routes.
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
on this topic.
To avoid user mistakenly losing routes on their hosts, check
accept_ra values before enabling IPv6 forwarding. If a RA route is
detected, but neither the corresponding device nor global accept_ra
is set to 2, the network will fail to start.
virNetlinkCommand() processes only one response message, while some
netlink commands, like route dumping, need to process several.
Add virNetlinkDumpCommand() as a virNetlinkCommand() sister.
Allow to reuse as much as possible from virNetlinkCommand(). This
comment prepares for the introduction of virNetlinkDumpCommand()
only differing by how it handles the responses.
Commit id '85af0b8' added a 'timeout' as the 4th parameter to
qemuMonitorOpen, but neglected to update the ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(4)
to be (5) for the cb parameter.
It was pointed out here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1331796#c4
that we shouldn't be adding a "no-resolv" to the dnsmasq.conf file for
a network if there isn't any <forwarder> element that specifies an IP
address but no qualifying domain. If there is such an element, it will
handle all DNS requests that weren't otherwise handled by one of the
forwarder entries with a matching domain attribute. If not, then DNS
requests that don't match the domain of any <forwarder> would not be
resolved if we added no-resolv.
So, only add "no-resolv" when there is at least one <forwarder>
element that specifies an IP address but no qualifying domain.
We reported error in caller virQEMUCapsCacheLookupByArch.
So the same error messages in qemuConnectGetDomainCapabilities
is useless.

The log and lock protocol don't have an extra handshake to close the
connection. Instead they just close the socket. Unfortunately that
resulted into a lot of spurious garbage logged to the system log files:
2017-03-17 14:00:09.730+0000: 4714: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1800 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error
or in the journal as:
Mar 13 16:19:33 xxxx virtlogd[32360]: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
Use the new facility in the netserverclient to suppress the IO error
report from the virNetSocket layer.
When starting a domain with custom guest CPU specification QEMU may add
or remove some CPU features. There are several reasons for this, e.g.,
QEMU/KVM does not support some requested features or the definition of
the requested CPU model in libvirt's cpu_map.xml differs from the one
QEMU is using. We can't really avoid this because CPU models are allowed
to change with machine types and libvirt doesn't know (and probably
doesn't even want to know) about such changes.
Thus when we want to make sure guest ABI doesn't change when a domain
gets migrated to another host, we need to update our live CPU definition
according to the CPU QEMU created. Once updated, we will change CPU
checking to VIR_CPU_CHECK_FULL to make sure the virtual CPU created
after migration exactly matches the one on the source.

The disk tuning group parameter is ignored by qemu if no other
throttling options are set. Reject such configuration, since the name
would not be honored after setting parameters via the live tuning API.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433180
When checking capabilities for qemu we need to check whether subsets of
the disk throttling settings are supported. Extract the checks into a
separate functions as they will be reused in next patch.
While the code path that queries the monitor allocates a separate copy
of the 'group_name' string the path querying the config would not copy
it. The call to virTypedParameterAssign would then steal the pointer
(without clearing it) and the RPC layer freed it. Any subsequent call
resulted into a crash.

We want pcie-root-ports to be used when available in QEMU,
but at the same time we need to ensure that hosts running
older QEMU releases keep working and that the user can
override the default at any time.
Add a comment for the original pcie-root-port test cases
to make it clear how these new test cases are different.
ioh3420 is emulated Intel hardware, so it always looked
quite out of place in aarch64/virt guests. Even for x86/q35
guests, the recently-introduced pcie-root-port is a better
choice because, unlike ioh3420, it doesn't require IO space
(a fairly constrained resource) to work.
If pcie-root-port is available in QEMU, use it; ioh3420 is
still used as fallback for when pcie-root-port is not
available.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1408808
QEMU 2.9 introduces the pcie-root-port device, which is
a generic version of the existing ioh3420 device.
Make the new device available to libvirt users.
If the SASL config does not have any mechanisms we currently
just report an empty list to the client which will then
fail to identify a usable mechanism. This is a server config
error, so we should fail immediately on the server side.

Linux still defaults to a 1024 open file handle limit. This causes
scalability problems for libvirtd / virtlockd / virtlogd on large
hosts which might want > 1024 guest to be running. In fact if each
guest needs > 1 FD, we can't even get to 500 guests. This is not
good enough when we see machines with 100's of physical cores and
TBs of RAM.
In comparison to other memory requirements of libvirtd & related
daemons, the resource usage associated with open file handles
is essentially line noise. It is thus reasonable to increase the
limits unconditionally for all installs.
