... with VIR_NET_GENERATED_MACV???_PREFIX, which is defined in
util/virnetdevmacvlan.h.
Since VIR_NET_GENERATED_PREFIX is used for plain tap devices, it is
renamed to VIR_NET_GENERATED_TAP_PREFIX and moved to virnetdev.h
The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

MACVTAP_NAME_PREFIX and MACVLAN_NAME_PREFIX could be useful to other
files if they were defined in virnetdevmacvlan.h instead of
virnetdevmacvlan.c, so do that (while slightly renaming them and also
adding yet another #define that chooses between macvlan/macvtap based
on flags).
This is a prerequisite to fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1335798
If the network isn't active during networkNotifyActualDevice(), we
would log an error message stating that the bridge device didn't
exist. This patch adds a check to see if the network is active, making
the logs more useful in the case that it isn't.
Partially resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1442700
Nothing that could happen during networkNotifyActualDevice() could
justify unceremoniously killing the qemu process, but that's what we
were doing.
In particular, new code added in commit 85bcc022 (first appearred in
libvirt-3.2.0) attempts to reattach tap devices to their assigned
bridge devices when libvirtd restarts (to make it easier to recover
from a restart of a libvirt network). But if the network has been
stopped and *not* restarted, the bridge device won't exist and
networkNotifyActualDevice() will fail.
This patch changes networkNotifyActualDevice() and
qemuProcessNotifyNets() to return void, so that qemuProcessReconnect()
will soldier on regardless of what happens (any errors will still be
logged though).

After 1eb6647979 nobody calls the iohelper with 6 arguments.
Everybody uses the other mode. Well, the only user of iohelper

Currently we use iohelper for virFDStream implementation. This is
because UNIX I/O can lie sometimes: even though a FD for a
file/block device is set as unblocking, actual read()/write() can
block. To avoid this, a pipe is created and one end is kept for
read/write while the other is handed over to iohelper to
write/read the data for us. Thus it's iohelper which gets blocked
and not our event loop.
This approach has two problems:
1) we are spawning a new process.
2) any exchange of information between daemon and iohelper can be
done only through the pipe.
Therefore, iohelper is replaced with an implementation in thread
which is created just for the stream lifetime. The data are still
transferred through pipe (for now), but both problems described
above are solved.

Since commit c5f6151390 qemuDomainBlockInfo tries to update the
"physical" storage size for all network storage and not only block
devices.
Since the storage driver APIs to do this are not implemented for certain
storage types (RBD, iSCSI, ...) the code would fail to retrieve any data
since the failure of qemuDomainStorageUpdatePhysical is fatal.
Since it's desired to return data even if the total size can't be
updated we need to ignore errors from that function and return plausible
data.

Since the private data structure is not freed upon stopping a VM, the

This patch maps /domain/cpu/cache element into -cpu parameters:
- <cache mode='passthrough'/> is translated to host-cache-info=on
- <cache level='3' mode='emulate'/> is transformed into l3-cache=on
- <cache mode='disable'/> is turned in host-cache-info=off,l3-cache=off
Any other <cache> element is forbidden.
The tricky part is detecting whether QEMU supports the CPU properties.
The 'host-cache-info' property is introduced in v2.4.0-1389-ge265e3e480,
earlier QEMU releases enabled host-cache-info by default and had no way
to disable it. If the property is present, it defaults to 'off' for any
QEMU until at least 2.9.0.
The 'l3-cache' property was introduced later by v2.7.0-200-g14c985cffa.
Earlier versions worked as if l3-cache=off was passed. For any QEMU
until at least 2.9.0 l3-cache is 'off' by default.
QEMU 2.9.0 was the first release which supports probing both properties
by running device-list-properties with typename=host-x86_64-cpu. Older
QEMU releases did not support device-list-properties command for CPU
devices. Thus we can't really rely on probing them and we can just use
query-cpu-model-expansion QMP command as a witness.
Because the cache property probing is only reliable for QEMU >= 2.9.0
when both are already supported for quite a few releases, we let QEMU
report an error if a specific cache mode is explicitly requested. The
other mode (or both if a user requested CPU cache to be disabled) is
explicitly turned off for QEMU >= 2.9.0 to avoid any surprises in case
the QEMU defaults change. Any older QEMU already turns them off so not
doing so explicitly does not make any harm.

forcing all of them to advertise the operation is easier than hunting

think about this when we add support for getting stats for more jobs.

I tried to attach a SCSI LUN to two different guests, and forgot
to specify "shareable" in the hostdev XML. Attaching the device
to the second guest failed, but the message was not helpful in
telling me what I was doing wrong:
$ cat scsi_scratch_disk.xml
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host3'/>
<address bus='0' target='15' unit='1074151456'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
$ virsh attach-device dasd_sles_d99c scsi_scratch_disk.xml
Device attached successfully
$ virsh attach-device dasd_fedora_0e1e scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: Failed to attach device from scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: internal error: Unable to prepare scsi hostdev: scsi_host3:0:15:1074151456
I eventually discovered my error, but thought it was weird that
Libvirt doesn't provide something more helpful in this case.
Looking over the code we had just gone through, I commented out
the "internal error" message, and got something more useful:
$ virsh attach-device dasd_fedora_0e1e scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: Failed to attach device from scsi_scratch_disk.xml
error: Requested operation is not valid: SCSI device 3:0:15:1074151456 is already in use by other domain(s) as 'non-shareable'
Looking over the error paths here, we seem to issue better
messages deeper in the callchain so these "internal error"
messages overwrite any of them. Remove them, so that the
more detailed errors are seen.
