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.
If probing capabilities via QMP fails, we now have a check
that prevents us falling back to -help parsing. Unfortunately
the error message
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
unsupported configuration: QEMU 2.1.2 is too new for help parsing"
is proving rather unhelpful to the user. We need to be telling
them why QMP failed (the root cause), rather than they can't
use -help (the side effect).
To do this we should capture stderr during QMP probing, and
if -help parsing then sees a new QEMU version, we know that
QMP should have worked, and so we can show the messages from
stderr. The message thus becomes
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
internal error: QEMU / QMP failed: Could not access
KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory"
When trying clang, it found out that we were comparing sizeof with 0
even though we wanted to check the return value of memcmp. That showed
us that the test was wrong and it needs a fix as well.

Commit 2aa167ca tried to fix the DBus interaction code to allow
callers to use native types instead of 4-byte bools. But in
fixing the issue, I missed the case of an arrayref; Conrad Meyer
shows the following valid complaint issued by clang:
CC util/libvirt_util_la-virdbus.lo
util/virdbus.c:956:13: error: cast from 'bool *' to 'dbus_bool_t *' (aka 'unsigned int *') increases required alignment from 1 to 4 [-Werror,-Wcast-align]
GET_NEXT_VAL(dbus_bool_t, bool_val, bool, "%d");

util/virdbus.c:858:17: note: expanded from macro 'GET_NEXT_VAL'
x = (dbustype *)(*xptrptr + (*narrayptr - 1)); \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated.
But fixing that points out that we have NEVER supported arrayrefs
of sub-int types (byte, i16, u16, and now bool). Again, while raw
types promote, arrays do not; so the macros HAVE to deal with both
size possibilities rather than assuming that an arrayref uses the
same sizing as the promoted raw type.
Obviously, our testsuite wasn't covering as much as it should have.
* src/util/virdbus.c (GET_NEXT_VAL): Also fix array cases.
(SET_NEXT_VAL): Fix uses of sub-int arrays.

So far we didn't have any option to set video memory size for qemu video
devices. There was only the vram (ram for QXL) attribute but it was valid
only for the QXL video device.
To provide this feature to users QEMU has a dedicated device attribute
called 'vgamem_mb' to set the video memory size. We will use the 'vram'
attribute for setting video memory size for other QEMU video devices.
For the cirrus device we will ignore the vram value because it has
hardcoded video size in QEMU.

QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
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.

Improve the monitor function to also retrieve the guest state of
character device (if provided) so that we can refresh the state of
virtio-serial channels and perhaps react to changes in the state in
future patches.
This patch changes the returned data from qemuMonitorGetChardevInfo to
return a structure containing the pty path and the state for all the
character devices.
The change to the testsuite makes sure that the data is parsed
correctly.
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
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
As we now have a common function to parse backing store string for RBD
backing store we can reuse it in the backing store walker so that we
don't fail on files backed by RBD storage.
This patch also adds a few tests to verify that the parsing works as
expected.
To track state of virtio channels this patch adds a new output-only
attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.
To unify future additions that require information from "query-chardev"
rename qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths and friends to qemuMonitorGetChardevInfo
and move the allocation of the returned hash into the top level
function.
To simplify looking for a problem instrument the XML comparator function
with possibility to print the filename of the failed/expected XML
output.
This is necessary as the VIR_TEST_DIFFERENT macro possibly tests two XML
files for the inactive/active state and the resulting error may not be
obvious.
Use of an 'int' to represent a 'bool' value is confusing. Just
because dbus made the mistake of cementing their 4-byte wire
format of dbus_bool_t into their API doesn't mean we have to
repeat the mistake. With a little bit of finesse, we can
guarantee that we provide a large-enough value to the DBus
code, while still copying only the relevant one-byte bool
to the client code, and isolate the rest of our code base from
the DBus stupidity.

We used to set migration capabilities only when a user asked for them in
flags. This is fine when migration succeeds since the QEMU process is
killed in the end but in case migration fails or if it's cancelled, some
capabilities may remain turned on with no way to turn them off. To fix
that, migration capabilities have to be turned on if requested but
explicitly turned off in case they were not requested but QEMU supports
them.

Rather than just picking the first CD (or failing that, HDD) we come
across, if the user has picked a boot device ordering with <boot
order=''>, respect that (and just try to boot the lowest-index device).
Adds two sets of tests to bhyve2xmlargv; 'grub-bootorder' shows that we
pick a user-specified device over the first device in the domain;
'grub-bootorder2' shows that we pick the first (lowest index) device.
As I was reviewing bhyve commits, I've noticed qemuxml2argvtest
failing for some test cases. This is not bug in qemu driver code
rather than being unable to load qemuxml2argvmock on non-Linux
platforms. For instance:
318) QEMU XML-2-ARGV numatune-memnode
... libvirt: error : internal error: NUMA node 0 is unavailable
FAILED
Rather than disabling qemuxml2argvtest on BSD (we do compile qemu
driver there) disable only those test cases which require mocking.
To achieve that goal new DO_TEST_LINUX() macro is introduced which
invokes the test case on Linux only and consume arguments on other
systems.

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.

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.

The code that parses the schema from the URI touches the "hosts[0]"
member of the storage file source structure in case the URI contains a

where the transport protocol was parsed and set. This lead to a crash of
libvirtd.
Fix the code by allocating the "hosts" array upfront and add a test case
