The helpers will be useful when implementing hotplug and coldplug of
random number generator devices.

When adding devices to the definition it's useful to check whether the
devices don't reside on a conflicting address. This patch adds a helper
that iterates all device info and compares the addresses with the given
info.
Do the allocation first, then add the actual device.
The second part should never fail. This is good
for live hotplug where we don't want to remove the device
on OOM after the monitor command succeeded.
The only change in behavior is that on failure, the
vmdef->consoles array is freed, not just the first console.
Currently when launching the LXC controller we first write out
the plain, inactive XML configuration, then launch the controller,
then replace the file with the live status XML configuration.
By good fortune this hasn't caused any problems other than some
misleading error messages during failure scenarios.
This simplifies the code so it only writes out the XML once and
always writes the live status XML. To do this we need to handshake
with the child process, to make execution pause just before exec()
so we can write the XML status with the child PID present.
Ploop is a pseudo device which makeit possible to access
to an image in a file as a block device. Like loop devices,
but with additional features, like snapshots, write tracker
and without double-caching.
It used in PCS for containers and in OpenVZ. You can manage
ploop devices and images with ploop utility
(http://git.openvz.org/?p=ploop).

The virDomainDefineXMLFlags and virDomainCreateXML APIs both
gain new flags allowing them to be told to validate XML.
This updates all the drivers to turn on validation in the
XML parser when the flags are set
The virDomainDefParse* and virDomainDefFormat* methods both
accept the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags defined in the public API,
along with a set of other VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags
defined in domain_conf.c.
This is seriously confusing & error prone for a number of
reasons:
- VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE, VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE and
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU are only relevant for the
formatting operation
- Some of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags only apply
to parse or to format, but not both.
This patch cleanly separates out the flags. There are two
distint VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_* and VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_*
flags that are used by the corresponding methods. The
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags received via public API calls must
be converted to the VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_* flags where
needed.
The various calls to virDomainDefParse which hardcoded the
use of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE flag change to use the
VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_INACTIVE flag.
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.
Currently, when there is an API that's blocking with locked domain and
second API that's waiting in virDomainObjListFindByUUID() for the domain
lock (with the domain list locked) no other API can be executed on any
domain on the whole hypervisor because all would wait for the domain
list to be locked. This patch adds new optional approach to this in
which the domain is only ref'd (reference counter is incremented)
instead of being locked and is locked *after* the list itself is
unlocked. We might consider only ref'ing the domain in the future and
leaving locking on particular APIs, but that's no tonight's fairy tale.

When one domain is being undefined and at the same time started, for
example, there is a possibility of a rare problem occuring.
- Thread 1 does virDomainUndefine(), has the lock, checks that the
domain is active and because it's not, calls
virDomainObjListRemove().
- Thread 2 does virDomainCreate() and tries to lock the domain.
- Thread 1 needs to lock domain list in order to remove the domain from
it, but must unlock domain first (proper order is to lock domain list
first and the domain itself second).
- Thread 2 grabs the lock, starts the domain and releases the lock.
- Thread 1 grabs the lock and removes the domain from list.
With this patch:
- The undefining domain gets marked as "to undefine" before it is
unlocked.
- If domain is found in any of the search APIs, it's returned only if
it is not marked as "to undefine". The check is done while the
domain is locked.

At the time that the network driver allocates a connection to a
network, the tap device that will be used hasn't yet been created -
that will be done later by qemu (or lxc or whoever) - but if the
network has macTableManager='libvirt', then when we do get around to
creating the tap device, we will need to add an entry for it to the
network bridge's fdb (forwarding database) *and* turn off learning and
unicast_flood for that tap device in the bridge's sysfs settings. This
means that qemu needs to know both the bridge name as well as the
setting of macTableManager, so we either need to create a new API to
retrieve that info, or just pass it back in the ActualNetDef that is
created during networkAllocateActualDevice. We choose the latter
method, since it's already done for the bridge device, and it has the
side effect of making the information available in domain status.
(NB: in the future, I think that the tap device should actually be
created by networkAllocateActualDevice(), as that will solve several
other problems, but that is a battle for another day, and this
information will still be useful outside the network driver)
Resolving symlinks can fail before mounting any file system if one file
system depends on another being mounted. Symlinks are now resolved in
two passes:
* Before any file system is mounted, but then we are more gentle if
the source path can't be accessed
* Right before mounting a file system, so that we are sure that we
have the resolved path... but then if it can't be accessed we raise
an error.

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

Commit 6c9a8a4 (Oct 2014) exposed a long-standing issue on 32-bit
machines: code related to virDomainSetMemoryParameters has always
been documented as using a 64-bit limit, but it was implemented by
calling virDomainParseMemory which enforced an 'unsigned long'
limit. Since VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED capped to a
long is -1, but virDomainParseScaledValue no longer accepts
negative values, an attempt to use 2^53-1 as a hard memory limit
started failing the testsuite. However, the problem with capping
things artificially low has existed for much longer - ever since
commits 4888f0fb and 2e22f23 (Mar 2012) switched internal tracking
from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned long long' (prior to that time,
the cap was a side-effect of the choice of types). We _have_ to
cap the balloon memory values, (no thanks to baked in 'unsigned long'
of API such as virDomainSetMaxMemory or virDomainGetInfo with no
counterpart API that guarantees 64-bit access to those numbers)
but memory parameters have never needed the artificial limit.
At any rate, the solution is to make the parser function gain a
parameter, and only do the reduced 32-bit cap for the values that
are constrained due to API.

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'>
<server/>
</shmem>

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.

The new blockcopy API wants to reuse only a subset of the disk
hotplug parser - namely, we only care about the embedded
virStorageSourcePtr inside a <disk> XML. Strange as it may
seem, it was easier to just parse an entire disk definition,
then throw away everything but the embedded source, than it
was to disentangle the source parsing code from the rest of
the overall disk parsing function. All that I needed was a
couple of tweaks and a new internal flag that determines
whether the normally-mandatory target element can be
gracefully skipped, since everything else was already optional.

Add a new disk "driver" attribute "iothread" to be parsed as the thread
number for the disk to use. In order to more easily facilitate the usage
and configuration of the iothread, a "zero" for the attribute indicates
iothreads are not supported for the device and a positive value indicates
the specific thread to try and use.
Introduce XML to allowing adding iothreads to the domain. These can be

QEMU 2.1 added support for the kvm=off option to the -cpu command,

This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
