Currently, it is possible to start an interface that is already running:
# virsh iface-start eth2
Interface eth2 started
# echo $?
0
# virsh iface-start eth2
Interface eth2 started
# echo $?
0
# virsh iface-start eth2
Interface eth2 started
# echo $?
0
Same applies for destroying a dead interface. We should not allow such
state transitions.

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.

This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983026
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.

Ok, the final patch for this is issue will be the simpler variant that

The following is the GIT change that DV or myself will apply to libvirt
GIT master immediately before the 1.1.0 release:

Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2013-2218: Fix crash listing network interfaces with
filters
The virConnectListAllInterfaces method has a double-free of the
'struct netcf_if' object when any of the filtering flags cause
an interface to be skipped over. For example when running the
command 'virsh iface-list --inactive'
This is a regression introduced in release 1.0.6 by

interface: list all interfaces with flags == 0
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
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
Some methods in the udev interface driver used 'cleanup' as the
label for separate error codepaths. Change these to use 'error'
as required by coding standards

The udevFreeIfaceDef function in the udev interface driver
just duplicates code from virInterfaceDefFree. Delete it
and call the standard API instead.
Fix the udevGetIfaceDefVlan method so that it doesn't
store pointers to the middle of a malloc'd memory
area.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Ensure that all drivers implementing public APIs use a
naming convention for their implementation that matches
the public API name.
eg for the public API virDomainCreate make sure QEMU
uses qemuDomainCreate and not qemuDomainStart

It will simplify later work if the sub-drivers have dedicated
APIs / field names. ie virNetworkDriver should have
virDrvNetworkOpen and virDrvNetworkClose methods

Ensure that the driver struct field names match the public
API names. For an API virXXXX we must have a driver struct
field xXXXX. ie strip the leading 'vir' and lowercase any
leading uppercase letters.

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().
Based on feedback from Laine Stump, improve a number of the error
handling cases to report the issue to the user instead of not generating
data or giving vague errors. Added the bridge device name to every error
message as well to make it clear which bridge failed.
Mechanical move to break up udevIfaceGetIfaceDef() into different

The libvirt coding standard is to use 'function(...args...)'
instead of 'function (...args...)'. A non-trivial number of
places did not follow this rule and are fixed in this patch.

Added support for retrieving the XML defining a specific interface via
the udev based backend to virInterface. Implement the following APIs
for the udev based backend:
* virInterfaceGetXMLDesc()
Note: Does not support bond devices.
Given Daniel's announcement[1], code targetting the next release will
be in 1.0.0, not 0.10.3. Changed mechanically with:
for f in $(git grep -l '0\(.\)10\13\b') ; do
sed -i -e 's/0\(.\)10\13/1\10\10/g' $f
done
[1]https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg00403.html
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Use 1.0.0 for next release.
* src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c: Likewise.
Add support to check if a specific interface is active by supporting the
following API function in the udev based virInterface backend:
* virConnectInterfaceIsActive()
All other backends for virInterface or other HVs implementations of
virInterface list their own names for the name instead of the generic
'Interface' value. This does the same for the netcf based backend.
Also, report any errors during registration.
Add a read-only udev based backend for virInterface. Useful for distros
that do not have netcf support yet. Multiple libvirt based utilities use
a HAL based fallback when virInterface is not available which is less
than ideal. This implements:
* virConnectNumOfInterfaces()
* virConnectListInterfaces()
* virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListAllInterfaces()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByName()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByMACString()
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html recommends that
the 'If not, see <url>.' phrase be a separate sentence.
* tests/securityselinuxhelper.c: Remove doubled line.
* tests/securityselinuxtest.c: Likewise.
* globally: s/; If/. If/
Based exclusively on work by Eric Blake in a patch posted with the same
subject. However some modifications related to comments and my plans to
add another backend.
Added WITH_INTERFACE as the only automake variable deciding whether to
build the driver and using WITH_NETCF to identify that we're wanting to
use the netcf library as the backend.
* configure.ac: Added with_interface
* src/interface/netcf_driver.c: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c: ..to this to match storage.
* src/interface/netcf_driver.h: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_driver.h: ..to this.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Respect WITH_INTERFACE and WITH_NETCF.
* libvirt.spec.in: Add RPM support for --with-interface
This is not that ideal as API for other objects, as it's still
O(n). Because interface driver uses netcf APIs to manage the
stuffs, instead of by itself. And netcf APIs don't return a object.
It provides APIs like old libvirt APIs:
ncf_number_of_interfaces
ncf_list_interfaces
ncf_lookup_by_name
......
Perhaps we should further improve netcf to let it provide an API
to return the object, but it could be a later patch. And anyway,
we will still benefit from the new API for the simplification,
and no race like the old APIs.
