Make use of the ebtables functionality to be able to filter certain
parameters of icmpv6 packets. Extend the XML parser for icmpv6 types,
type ranges, codes, and code ranges. Extend the nwfilter documentation,
schema, and test cases.
Being able to filter icmpv6 types and codes helps extending the DHCP
snooper for IPv6 and filtering at least some parameters of IPv6's NDP
(Neighbor Discovery Protocol) packets. However, the filtering will not
be as good as the filtering of ARP packets since we cannot
check on IP addresses in the payload of the NDP packets.

Add the possibility to have more than one IP address configured for a
domain network interface. IP addresses can also have a prefix to define
the corresponding netmask.
Volume and pool formatting functions took different approaches to
unspecified uids/gids. When unknown, it is always parsed as -1, but one
of the functions formatted it as unsigned int (wrong) and one as
int (better). Due to that, our two of our XML files from tests cannot
be parsed on 32-bit machines.
RNG schema needs to be modified as well, but because both
storagepool.rng and storagevol.rng need same schema for permission
element, save some space by moving it to storagecommon.rng.

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.

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.
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.

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 new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable
places of existing test files.
This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices. This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
- For shmem device using a server:
<shmem name='shmem0'>
<server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
<msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
</shmem>
- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:
<shmem name='shmem1'>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
</shmem>
Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:
<shmem name='shmem1/>
<shmem name='shmem2'>

The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to

at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.
When spanning tree protocol is allowed in bridge settings, forward delay
value is set as well (default is 0 if omitted). Until now, there was no
check for delay value validity. Delay makes sense only as a positive
numerical value.
Note: However, even if you provide positive numerical value, brctl

be modified (kernel most likely) to fall within this range.

When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.
Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.
Features supported:
- pool-start, pool-stop
- pool-info
- vol-list
- vol-create / vol-delete
Pool definition looks like that:
<pool type='zfs'>
<name>myzfspool</name>
<source>
<name>actualpoolname</name>
</source>
</pool>
The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.
User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.
A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).
The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
<host name='example.org' port='3260'/>
<auth username='myname'>
<secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>
</auth>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='2' unit='5'/>
</hostdev>
The controller element will mimic the existing scsi_host code insomuch
as when 'lsi' and 'virtio-scsi' are used.
A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the
same way as block copy jobs, it is easiest to track all bookkeeping
for the commit job by reusing the <mirror> element. This patch
adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>. Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit). It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment. In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job. Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.
A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion. But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job. Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job. Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.
Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

Add an optional unique_id parameter to nodedev. Allows for easier lookup
and display of the unique_id value in order to document for use with
scsi_host code.
Between reboots and kernel reloads, the SCSI host number used for SCSI
storage pools may change requiring modification to the storage pool XML
in order to use a specific SCSI host adapter.
This patch introduces the "parentaddr" element and "unique_id" attribute
for the SCSI host adapter in order to uniquely identify the adapter
between reboots and kernel reloads. For now the goal is to only parse
and format the XML. Both will be required to be provided in order to
uniquely identify the desired SCSI host.
The new XML is expected to be as follows:
<adapter type='scsi_host'>
<parentaddr unique_id='3'>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' func='0x2'/>
</parentaddr>
</adapter>
where "parentaddr" is the parent device of the SCSI host using the PCI
address on which the device resides and the value from the unique_id file
for the device. Both the PCI address and unique_id values will be used
to traverse the /sys/class/scsi_host/ directories looking at each link
to match the PCI address reformatted to the directory link format where
"domain🚌slot:function" is found. Then for each matching directory
the unique_id file for the scsi_host will be used to match the unique_id
value in the xml.
For a PCI address listed above, this will be formatted to "0000:00:1f.2"
and the links in /sys/class/scsi_host will be used to find the host#
to be used for the 'scsi_host' device. Each entry is a link to the
/sys/bus/pci/devices directories, e.g.:
% ls -al /sys/class/scsi_host/host2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun 1 00:22 /sys/class/scsi_host/host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host2/scsi_host/host2
% cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/unique_id
3
The "parentaddr" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parentaddr" element will be the preferred
mechanism.
This patch only supports to parse and format the XMLs. Later patches will
add code to find out the scsi host number.
