Since we are allocating RPC buffer dynamically, we can increase limits
for max. size of RPC message and RPC string. This is needed to cover
some corner cases where libvirt is run on such huge machines that their
capabilities XML is 4 times bigger than our current limit. This leaves
users with inability to even connect.
Define two new RPC message types VIR_NET_CALL_WITH_FDS and
VIR_NET_REPLY_WITH_FDS. These message types are equivalent
to VIR_NET_CALL and VIR_NET_REPLY, except that between the
message header, and payload there is a 32-bit integer field
specifying how many file descriptors have been passed.
The actual file descriptors are sent/recv'd out of band.
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add support for handling
passed file descriptors
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: Extend protocol for FD
passing
This patch defines the basics of a generic RPC protocol in XDR.
This is wire ABI compatible with the original remote_protocol.x.
It takes everything except for the RPC calls / events from that
protocol
- The basic header virNetMessageHeader (aka remote_message_header)
- The error object virNetMessageError (aka remote_error)
- Two dummy objects virNetMessageDomain & virNetMessageNetwork
sadly needed to keep virNetMessageError ABI compatible with
the old remote_error
The RPC protocol supports method calls, async events and
bidirectional data streams as before
* src/Makefile.am: Add rules for generating RPC code from
protocol & define a new libvirt-net-rpc.la helper library
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: New generic RPC protocol
