When a SCSI controller is present, ESX adds several pciBridge devices
to vmx file. This fixes an error message where it refuses to create VM
due to not enough PCI devices available. This applies only to virtualHW
version >= 7.
Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.
The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.
With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
...
These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.
Make virDomainControllerFindUnusedIndex() a global function so that it
can be used outside domain_conf.c (as well as higher up in
domain_conf.c itself)/ Also make its DomainDef arg a const* so that
functions which only have a const* to the domain can use it.
IS_USB2_CONTROLLER() is useful in more places aside from just when
assigning PCI addresses in QEMU, and is checking for enum values that
are all defined in conf/domain_conf.h anyway, so define it there
instead.
Add .domainInterfaceAddresses so that user can have a way to
get domain interface address by 'virsh domifaddr'. Currently
it only supports '--source lease'.

Xen only supports network-based disks with the qemu (aka qdisk) driver.
Set the driverName to 'qemu' in libxlDomainDeviceDefPostParse() if
not already set. When starting a domain with network-based disks,
ensure the driverName is 'qemu'.

The libvirt internal bits can be changed for disks that don't otherwise
support changing media. Remove the switch statement and allow changes of
non-source data for all disks.
qemuDomainChangeDiskLive rolled back few changes to the disk definition
if changing of the media failed. This can be avoided by moving some code
around.
Commit id '15ccb0dbf' added job functions for the lxc driver; however,
for shutdown and nonpersistent path, the vm was removed from the domain
object list and the vm pointer cleared before the endjob.
Adjust the code to perform the endjob first and then perform the
ObjListRemove as long as the vm wasn't NULL. This follows more closely
models from qemu and libxl
Found by Coverity (FORWARD_NULL)
Based on some digital archaeology performed by jtomko, it's been determined
that the persistentAddrs variable is no longer necessary...
The variable was added by:
commit 141dea6bc7
CommitDate: 2010-02-12 17:25:52 +0000
Add persistence of PCI addresses to QEMU
Where it was set to 0 on domain startup if qemu did not support the
QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DEVICE capability, to clear the addresses at shutdown,
because QEMU might make up different ones next time.
As of commit f5dd58a608
CommitDate: 2012-07-11 11:19:05 +0200
qemu: Extended qemuDomainAssignAddresses to be callable from
everywhere.
this was broken, when the persistentAddrs = 0 assignment was moved
inside qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses and while it pretends to check
for !QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE, its parent qemuDomainAssignAddresses is only
called if QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE is present.
Since commit id '20a0fa8e' removed the QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE, Coverity notes
that it's no longer possible to have 'addrs' be NULL when checking for
a live domain since qemuDomainPCIAddressSetCreate would have jumped to
cleanup if addrs was NULL.
Instead of setting the flag before parsing the PCI address, set
it afterwards. This ensure we can never end up in a situation
where the flag has been set but pci_dev.physical_function has
not been filled in.
Commit c8b1a83605 changed the function, making it
impossible for callers to be able to tell whether a
non-negative return value means "physical function
address found and parsed correctly" or "couldn't find
corresponding physical function".
The important difference between the two being that,
in the latter case, the returned pointer is NULL and
should never, ever be dereferenced.
In order to cope with these changes, the callers
have to be updated.
Use the detected tray presence flag to trigger the tray waiting code
only if the given storage device in qemu reports to have a tray.
This is necessary as the floppy device lost it's tray as of qemu commit:

Revert "hw/block/fdc: Implement tray status"
Commit 1fad65d49a used a really big hammer
and overwrote the error message that might be reported by qemu if the
tray is locked. Fix it by reporting the error only if no error is
currently set.
Error after commit mentioned above:
error: internal error: timed out waiting for disk tray status update
New error:
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'eject': Tray of
device 'drive-ide0-0-0' is not open
Extract information for all disks and update tray state and source only
for removable drives. Additionally store whether a drive is removable
and whether it has a tray.
Extract whether a given drive has a tray and whether there is no image
inserted.
Negative logic for the image insertion is chosen so that the flag is set
only if we are certain of the fact.
When reviewing libxl vif typename series[0] I found a bug
on xen-xm formatter where "virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm file.xml"
can lead to a NULL dereference if the disk driver isn't specified.
Fix this by checking for driver before writing/testing it down.

This is identical to type='bridge', but without the "connect to a
bridge" part, so it can be handled by using the same functions (and
often even the same cases in switch statements), after renaming
virLXCProcessSetupInterfaceBridged() to virLXCProcessInterfaceTap()
and enhancing it to skip bridge-related items when brname == NULL.
To be truly useful, we need to support setting the ip address on the
host side veth as well as guest side veth (already supported for
type='bridge'), as well as setting the peer address for both.
The <script> element (supported by type='ethernet' in qemu) isn't
supported in this patch. An error is logged at domain start time if it
is encountered. This may be changed in a later patch.
This patch follows the pattern used in qemu driver regarding
reference counting.
It changes lxcDomObjFromDomain() to ref the domain (using
virDomainObjListFindByUUIDRef()) and adds virDomainObjEndAPI() which
should be the only function in which the return value of
virObjectUnref() is checked. This makes all reference counting
deterministic and makes the code a bit clearer.
