2a58d07654 conf: add 'sharePolicy' attribute to graphics element for vnc
-vnc :5900,share=allow-exclusive
allows clients to ask for exclusive access which is
implemented by dropping other connections Connecting
multiple clients in parallel requires all clients asking
for a shared session (vncviewer: -shared switch)

 -vnc :5900,share=force-shared
disables exclusive client access.  Useful for shared
desktop sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting
specify -shared disconnect everybody else.

 -vnc :5900,share=ignore
completely ignores the shared flag and allows everybody
connect unconditionally

9049d6a8c7 qemu: Change values of disk discard
QEMU might support more values for "-drive discard", so using Bi-state
values (on/off) for it doesn't make sense.

"on" maps to "unmap", "off" maps to "ignore":

<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem.  Some machine types
may not support discard requests.

a7c4202cdd qemu: Support discard for disk
QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53,

<...>
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and
controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})
requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem.  Some machine types
may not support discard requests.
</...>

This patch exposes the support in libvirt.

QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0:

% git tag --contains a9384aff53
contains
v1.5.0-rc0
v1.5.0-rc1

So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.

ada14b86cc Add support for storage format in FS <driver>
Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to
allow a storage format to be set. The new attribute
uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is
different from the <driver> element in disk devices
which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This
is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices
is already used for the driver backend, for which the
disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh.

Anyway for disks we have

   <driver name="qemu" type="raw"/>

And for filesystems this change means we now have

   <driver type="loop" format="raw"/>

5c811dcec5 conf: Generic XMLs for scsi hostdev
An example of the scsi hostdev XML:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
      <source>
        <adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='4' unit='8'/>
    </hostdev>

Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.

The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let
libvirt generate it automatically.

This only introduces the generic XMLs for scsi hostdev, later patches
will add other elements, e.g. <readonly>, <shareable>.

f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag

It's not desired to force users imagine path for a socket they

The new path is generated in form:

for qemu system mode, and

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/lib/channel/target/$domain.$name

c4f63ef080 conf: formatter/parser/RNG/docs for hostdev <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
A domain's <interface> or <hostdev>, as well as a <network>'s
<forward>, can now have an optional <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
element. As of this patch, there is no functionality behind this new
knob - this patch adds support to the domain and network
formatter/parser, and to the RNG and documentation.

When the backend is added, legacy KVM PCI device assignment will
continue to be used when no driver name is specified (or if <driver
name='kvm'/> is specified), but if driver name is 'vfio', the new UEFI
Secure Boot compatible VFIO device assignment will be used.

Note that the parser doesn't automatically insert the current default
value of this setting. This is done on purpose because the two
possibilities are functionally equivalent from the guest's point of
view, and we want to be able to automatically start using vfio as the
default (even for existing domains) at some time in the future. This
is similar to what was done with the "vhost" driver option in
<interface>.

In QEMU, NVRAM device's address is specified by
 "-global spapr-nvram.reg=xxxxx".

In libvirt, XML file is defined as the following:

1a308ee015 qemu: add support for libiscsi
libiscsi provides a userspace iSCSI initiator.

The main advantage over the kernel initiator is that it is very
easy to provide different initiator names for VMs on the same host.
Thus libiscsi supports usage of persistent reservations in the VM,
which otherwise would only be possible with NPIV.

libiscsi uses "iscsi" as the scheme, not "iscsi+tcp".  We can change
this in the tests (while remaining backwards-compatible manner, because
QEMU uses TCP as the default transport for both Gluster and NBD).

4932ef4502 rng: restrict passthrough names to known-good files
There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng.  It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.
