Libvirtd has long had integration with avahi for advertising libvirtd
using mDNS when TCP/TLS listening is enabled. For a long time the
virt-manager application had support for auto-detecting libvirtds
on the local network using mDNS, but this was removed last year

connect: Drop avahi support
Libvirtd can advertise itself over avahi. The feature is disabled by
default though and in practice I hear of no one actually using it
and frankly I don't think it's all that useful
The 'Open Connection' wizard has a disproportionate amount of code
devoted to this feature, but I don't think it's useful or worth
maintaining, so let's drop it
I've never heard of any other applications having support for using
mDNS to detect libvirtd instances. Though it is theoretically possible
something exists out there, it is clearly going to be a niche use case
in the virt ecosystem as a whole.
By removing avahi integration we can cut down the dependency chain for
the basic libvirtd install and reduce our code maint burden.

In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

Combine virNetServerClientSetAuth(client,
VIR_NET_SERVER_SERVICE_AUTH_NONE) and virNetServerTrackCompletedAuth
into one new function named virNetServerSetClientAuthenticated.
After using this new function the function
virNetServerTrackCompletedAuth was superfluous and is therefore
removed. In addition, it is not very common that a
'{{function}}' (virNetServerTrackCompletedAuth) does more than just
the locking compared to
'{{function}}Locked' (virNetServerTrackCompletedAuthLocked).
virNetServerTrackPendingAuth was already superfluous and therefore
it's also removed.

Opposite operation to virAdmServerGetClientLimits. Understandably though,
setting values for current number of clients connected or still waiting
for authentication does not make sense, since changes to these values are event
dependent, i.e. a client connects - counter is increased. Thus only the limits
to maximum clients connected and waiting for authentication can be set. Should
a request for other controls to be set arrive (provided such a setting will
be first introduced to the config), the set of configuration controls can be
later expanded (thanks to typed params). This patch also introduces a
constraint that the maximum number of clients waiting for authentication has to
be less than the overall maximum number of clients connected and any attempt to
violate this constraint will be denied.

Just like with server-related APIs, before any of client-based APIs can be
called, a reference to a client-side client object needs to be obtained. For
this purpose, a lookup method should exist. Apart from the client retrieval
logic, a new error code for non-existent client had to be added as well.

For now, the list copy is done simply by locking the whole server, walking the
original and increasing the refcount on each object. We may want to change
the list to a lockable object (like list of domains) later in the future if
we discover some performance issues related to locking the whole server in
order to walk the whole list of clients, possibly issuing some 'ForEach'
callback.

Admin API needs a way of addressing specific clients. Unlike servers, which we
are happy to address by names both because its name reflects its purpose (to
some extent) and we only have two of them (so far), naming clients doesn't make
any sense, since a) each client is an anonymous, i.e. not recognized after a
disconnect followed by a reconnect, b) we can't predict what kind of requests
it's going to send to daemon, and c) the are loads of them comming and going,
so the only viable option is to use an ID which is of a reasonably wide data
type.

Since threadpool increments the current number of threads according to current
load, i.e. how many jobs are waiting in the queue. The count however, is
constrained by max and min limits of workers. The logic of this new API works
like this:
1) setting the minimum
a) When the limit is increased, depending on the current number of
threads, new threads are possibly spawned if the current number of
threads is less than the new minimum limit
b) Decreasing the minimum limit has no possible effect on the current
number of threads
2) setting the maximum
a) Icreasing the maximum limit has no immediate effect on the current
number of threads, it only allows the threadpool to spawn more
threads when new jobs, that would otherwise end up queued, arrive.
b) Decreasing the maximum limit may affect the current number of
threads, if the current number of threads is less than the new
maximum limit. Since there may be some ongoing time-consuming jobs
that would effectively block this API from killing any threads.
Therefore, this API is asynchronous with best-effort execution,
i.e. the necessary number of workers will be terminated once they
finish their previous job, unless other workers had already
terminated, decreasing the limit to the requested value.
3) setting priority workers
- both increase and decrease in count of these workers have an
immediate impact on the current number of workers, new ones will be
spawned or some of them get terminated respectively.

At first I did not want to do this, but after trying to implement some
newer feaures in the admin API I realized we need that to make our lives
easier. On the other hand they are not saved redundantly and the
virNetServer objects are still kept in a hash table.

Since its introduction in 2011 (particularly in commit f4324e3292),
the option doesn't work. It just effectively disables all incoming
connections. That's because the client private data that contain the
'keepalive_supported' boolean, are initialized to zeroes so the bool is
false and the only other place where the bool is used is when checking
whether the client supports keepalive. Thus, according to the server,
no client supports keepalive.
Removing this instead of fixing it is better because a) apparently
nobody ever tried it since 2011 (4 years without one month) and b) we
cannot know whether the client supports keepalive until we get a ping or
pong keepalive packet. And that won't happen until after we dispatched
the ConnectOpen call.
Another two reasons would be c) the keepalive_required was tracked on
the server level, but keepalive_supported was in private data of the
client as well as the check that was made in the remote layer, thus
making all other instances of virNetServer miss this feature unless they
all implemented it for themselves and d) we can always add it back in
case there is a request and a use-case for it.

Currently to deal with auto-shutdown libvirtd must periodically
poll all stateful drivers. Thus sucks because it requires
acquiring both the driver lock and locks on every single virtual

DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and
provides such glue logic itself.
The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a
dbus connection with event loop integration. Thus we need
to pull the current event loop glue out of the HAL driver.
Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
automagically setup.
This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).
For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.
The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.
To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.
This patch introduces a internal RPC API "virNetServerClose", which
is standalone with "virNetServerFree". it closes all the socket fds,
and unlinks the unix socket paths, regardless of whether the socket
is still referenced or not.
This is to address regression bug:

* virNetServer: A server contains one or more services which
accept incoming clients. It maintains the list of active
clients. It has a list of RPC programs which can be used
by clients. When clients produce a complete RPC message,
the server passes this onto the corresponding program for
handling, and queues any response back with the client.
* virNetServerClient: Encapsulates a single client connection.
All I/O for the client is handled, reading & writing RPC
messages.
* virNetServerProgram: Handles processing and dispatch of
RPC method calls for a single RPC (program,version).
Multiple programs can be registered with the server.
* virNetServerService: Encapsulates socket(s) listening for
new connections. Each service listens on a single host/port,
but may have multiple sockets if on a dual IPv4/6 host.
Each new daemon now merely has to define the list of RPC procedures
& their handlers. It does not need to deal with any network related
functionality at all.
