esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion can take a UUID to lookup the
corresponding domain and check if the current task for it
is blocked by a question. It calls another function to do
this: esxVI_LookupAndHandleVirtualMachineQuestion looks up
the VirtualMachine and checks for a question. If there is
a question it calls esxVI_HandleVirtualMachineQuestion to
handle it.
If there was no question or it has been answered the call
to esxVI_LookupAndHandleVirtualMachineQuestion returns 0.
If any error occurred during the lookup and answering
process -1 is returned. The problem with this is, that -1
is also returned when there was no error but the question
could not be answered. So esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion cannot
distinguish between this two situations and reports that a
question is blocking the task even when there was actually
another problem.
This inherent problem didn't surface until vSphere 4.1 when
you try to define a new domain. The driver tries to lookup
the domain that is just in the process of being registered.
There seems to be some kind of race condition and the driver
manages to issue a lookup command before the ESX server was
able to register the domain. This used to work before.
Due to the return value problem described above the driver
reported a false error message in that case.
To solve this esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion now takes an
additional occurrence parameter that describes whether or
not to expect the domain to be existent. Also add a new
parameter to esxVI_LookupAndHandleVirtualMachineQuestion
that allows to distinguish if the call returned -1 because
of an actual error or because the question could not be
answered.
Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.
Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.
Since 070f61002f the vcenter query
parameter has been ignored, because the refactoring to use
esxUtil_ParseQuery was incomplete. This effectively broke migration,
because the vcenter query parameter is essential for a migration.
Add the library entry point for the new virDomainQemuMonitorCommand()
entry point. Because this is not part of the "normal" libvirt API,
it gets its own header file, library file, and will eventually
get its own over-the-wire protocol later in the series.
Changes since v1:
- Go back to using the virDriver table for qemuDomainMonitorCommand, due to
linking issues
- Added versioning information to the libvirt-qemu.so
Changes since v2:
- None
Changes since v3:
- Add LGPL header to libvirt-qemu.c
- Make virLibConnError and virLibDomainError macros instead of function calls
Changes since v4:
- Move exported symbols to libvirt_qemu.syms

Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller
model anymore:
<driver name='buslogic'/>
Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>
The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.
Update the documentation and tests accordingly.
Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use
controller, bus and unit properly.
The domain XML parsing code autogenerates disk address and
controller elements when they are not explicitly specified.
The code assumes a narrow SCSI bus (7 units per bus). ESX
uses a wide SCSI bus (16 units per bus).
This is a step towards controller support for the ESX driver.
Eliminate almost all backward jumps by replacing this common pattern:
int
some_random_function(void)
{
int result = 0;
...
cleanup:
<unconditional cleanup code>
return result;
failure:
<cleanup code in case of an error>
result = -1;
goto cleanup
}
with this simpler pattern:
int
some_random_function(void)
{
int result = -1;
...
result = 0;
cleanup:
if (result < 0) {
<cleanup code in case of an error>
}
<unconditional cleanup code>
return result;
}
Add a bool success variable in functions that don't have a int result
that can be used for the new pattern.
Also remove some unnecessary memsets in error paths.

Generate almost all SOAP method mapping code.
Update the driver code to use the complete paramater list of some methods
that had parameters skipped before.
Improve the ESX_VI__METHOD marco to do automatic output deserialization
based on output occurrence. Also incorporate automatic _this binding and
output pointer check.
Fix invalid code generating in esx_vi_generator.py regarding deep copy
types that contain enum properties.
Add strptime and timegm to bootstrap.conf. Both are used to convert a
xsd:dateTime to calendar time.
Add a testcase of the xsd:dateTime conversion.
Also define ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR in a central place, instead of
defining them in each source file.
Add ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR to the msg_gen_function list in cfg.mk.
Update po/POTFILES.in accordingly.
virDomainManagedSave() is to be run on a running domain. Once the call
complete, as in virDomainSave() the domain is stopped upon completion,
but there is no restore counterpart as any order to start the domain
from the API would load the state from the managed file, similary if
the domain is autostarted when libvirtd starts.
Once a domain has restarted his managed save image is destroyed,
basically managed save image can only exist for a stopped domain,
for a running domain that would be by definition outdated data.

virParseVersionString uses virStrToLong_ui instead of sscanf.
This also fixes a bug in the UML driver, that always returned 0
as version number.
Introduce STRSKIP to check if a string has a certain prefix and
to skip this prefix.
virStrToLong* guarantees (via strtol) that the end pointer will be set
to the point at which parsing stopped (even on failure, this point is
the start of the input string).
* src/esx/esx_driver.c (esxGetVersion): Remove pointless
conditional.

(qemuParseCommandLineUSB, qemuParseCommandLineSmp): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c

The Python script generates the mappings based on the type descriptions
in the esx_vi_generator.input file.
This also improves the inheritance handling and allows to get rid of the
ugly, inflexible, and error prone _base/_super approach. Now every struct
that represents a SOAP type contains a _type member, that allows to
recreate C++-like dynamic dispatch for "method" calls in C.
The current virDomainAttachDevice API can be (ab)used to change
the media of an existing CDROM/Floppy device. Going forward there
will be more devices that can be configured on the fly and overloading
virDomainAttachDevice for this is not too pleasant. This patch adds
a new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() explicitly just for modifying
existing devices.

The current API for domain events has a number of problems
- Only allows for domain lifecycle change events
- Does not allow the same callback to be registered multiple times
- Does not allow filtering of events to a specific domain
This introduces a new more general purpose domain events API
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE = 0, /* virConnectDomainEventCallback */
...more events later..
}
int virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom, /* Optional, to filter */
int eventID,
virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback cb,
void *opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb);
int virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny(virConnectPtr conn,
int callbackID);
Since different event types can received different data in the callback,
the API is defined with a generic callback. Specific events will each
have a custom signature for their callback. Thus when registering an
event it is neccessary to cast the callback to the generic signature
eg
int myDomainEventCallback(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int event,
int detail,
void *opaque)
{
...
}
virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(conn, NULL,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(myDomainEventCallback)
NULL, NULL);
The VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK() macro simply does a "bad" cast
to the generic signature

This is actually a consequence of the reworked required parameter
checking: Unify the required parameter check into a Validate function
instead of doing it separately im the (de)serialization part.
The required parameter checking for the mapped methods parameter was
done in the (de)serialize functions before. Now it's explicitly done
in the mapped method itself.
Another warning caught by coverity. Continue to perform best-effort
closing and resource release, but warn the caller about the failure.

The MAC addresses with 00:50:56 prefix are split into several ranges:
00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff 'static' range (manually assigned)
00:50:56:80:00:00 - 00:50:56:bf:ff:ff 'vpx' range (assigned by a VI Client)
Erroneously the 'vpx' range was assumed to be larger and to occupy the
remaining addresses of the 00:50:56 prefix that are not part of the 'static'
range.
00:50:56 was used as prefix for generated MAC addresses, this is not possible
anymore, because there are gaps in the allowed ranges. Therefore, change the
prefix to 00:0c:29 which is the prefix for auto generated MAC addresses anyway.
Allow arbitrary MAC addresses to be used and set the checkMACAddress VMX option
to false in case the MAC address doesn't fall into any predefined range.

* src/esx/esx_driver.c: set the auto generation prefix to 00:0c:29
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address range handling and allow arbitrary MAC
addresses
