This patch resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889319
When assigning an SRIOV virtual function to a guest using "intelligent
PCI passthrough" (<interface type='hostdev'>, which sets the MAC
address and vlan tag of the VF before passing its info to qemu),
libvirt first learns the current MAC address and vlan tag by sending
an NLM_F_REQUEST message for the VF's PF (physical function) to the
kernel via a NETLINK_ROUTE socket (see virNetDevLinkDump()); the
response message's IFLA_VFINFO_LIST section is examined to extract the
info for the particular VF being assigned.
This worked fine with kernels up until kernel commit
115c9b81928360d769a76c632bae62d15206a94a (first appearing in upstream
kernel 3.3) which changed the ABI to not return IFLA_VFINFO_LIST in
the response until a newly introduced IFLA_EXT_MASK field was included
in the request, with the (newly introduced, of course) RTEXT_FILTER_VF
flag set.
The justification for this ABI change was that new fields had been
added to the VFINFO, causing NLM_F_REQUEST messages to fail on systems
with large numbers of VFs if the requesting application didn't have a
large enough buffer for all the info. The idea is that most
applications doing an NLM_F_REQUEST don't care about VFINFO anyway, so
eliminating it from the response would lower the requirements on
buffer size. Apparently, the people who pushed this patch made the
mistaken assumption that iproute2 (the "ip" command) was the only
package that used IFLA_VFINFO_LIST, so it wouldn't break anything else
(and they made sure that iproute2 was fixed.
The logic of this "fix" is debatable at best (one could claim that the
proper fix would be for the applications in question to be fixed so
that they properly sized the buffer, which is what libvirt does
(purely by virtue of using libnl), but it is what it is and we have to
deal with it.
In order for <interface type='hostdev'> to work properly on systems
with a kernel 3.3 or later, libvirt needs to add the afore-mentioned
IFLA_EXT_MASK field with RTEXT_FILTER_VF set.
Of course we also need to continue working on systems with older
kernels, so that one bit of code is compiled conditionally. The one
time this could cause problems is if the libvirt binary was built on a
system without IFLA_EXT_MASK which was subsequently updated to a
kernel that *did* have it. That could be solved by manually providing
the values of IFLA_EXT_MASK and RTEXT_FILTER_VF and adding it to the
message anyway, but I'm uncertain what that might actually do on a
system that didn't support the message, so for the time being we'll
just fail in that case (which will very likely never happen anyway).
This patch fixes the lack of error messages when libvirt fails to find
VFINFO in a returned netlinke response message.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827519#c10 is an example
of the error message that was previously logged when the
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST object was missing from the netlink response. The
reason for this failure is detailed in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889319
Even though that root problem has been fixed, the experience of
finding the root cause shows us how important it is to properly log an
error message in these cases. This patch *seems* to replace the entire
function, but really most of the changes are due to moving code that
was previously inside an if() statement out to the top level of the
function (the original if() was reversed and made to log an error and
return).
Revert the complex workaround of commit 39d91e9, now that we have
a nicer framework for shutting up broken gcc.

Historically there was an inconsistency in handling of the
itanium arch. The xen driver & CPU model code treated it
as 'ia64' but the QEMU capabilities code used 'itanium'. On
the grounds that no one has ever seriously used itanium
with QEMU, while RHEL shipped itanium with Xen, we should
favour 'ia64' as the canonical format
Introduce a 'virArch' enum for CPU architectures. Include
data type providing wordsize and endianness, and APIs to
query this info and convert to/from enum and string form.

This is yet another refinement to the fix for CVE-2012-3411:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833033
It turns out that it would be very intrusive to correctly backport the
entire --bind-dynamic option to older dnsmasq versions
(e.g. dnsmasq-2.48 that is used on RHEL6.x and CentOS 6.x), but very
simple to patch those versions to just use SO_BINDTODEVICE on all
their listening sockets (SO_BINDTODEVICE also has the desired effect
of permitting only traffic that was received on the interface(s) where
dnsmasq was set to listen.)
This patch modifies the dnsmasq capabilities detection to detect the
string:
--bind-interfaces with SO_BINDTODEVICE
in the output of "dnsmasq --version", and in that case realize that
using the old --bind-interfaces option is just as safe as
--bind-dynamic (and therefore *not* forbid creation of networks that
use public IP address ranges).
If -bind-dynamic is available, it is still preferred over
--bind-interfaces.
Note that this patch does no harm in upstream, or in any distro's
downstream if it happens to end up there, but builds for distros that
have a new enough dnsmasq to support --bind-dynamic do *NOT* need to
specifically backport this patch; it's only required for distro
releases that have dnsmasq too old to have --bind-dynamic (and those
distros will need to add the SO_BINDTODEVICE patch to dnsmasq,
*including the extra string in the --version output*, as well.
When LXC labels USB devices during hotplug, it is running in
host context, so it needs to pass in a vroot path to the

There was a double free issue caused by virSysinfoRead on s390,
as the same manufacturer string instance was assigned to more
than one processor record.
Cleaned up other potential memory issues and restructured the sysinfo
parsing code by moving repeating patterns into a helper function.
The restructuring made it necessary to conditionally disable
-Wlogical-op for some older GCC versions, using pragma GCC diagnostic.
This is a GCC specific pragma, which is acceptable, since we're
using it to work around a GCC specific bug.
Finally, added a function virSysinfoSetup to configure the sysinfo
data source files/script during run time, to facilitate writing test
programs. This function is not published in sysinfo.h and only
there for testing.

The current virStorageFileGet{LVM,SCSI}Key methods return
the key as the return value. Unfortunately it is desirable
for "NULL" to be a valid return value, as well as an error
indicator. Thus the returned key must instead be provided
as an out-parameter.
When we invoke lvs or scsi_id to extract ID for block devices,
we don't want virCommandWait logging errors messages. Thus we
must explicitly check 'status != 0', rather than letting
virCommandWait do it.

The QED file format is non-versioned, so although the magic
value matched, libvirt rejected it due to lack of a version
number to compare against. We need to distinguish this case
by allowing a value of '-2' to indicate a non-versioned file
where only the magic is required to match

This patch gets rid of the undeterministic error reporting code done on
return values of get(pw|gr)nam_r. With this patch, if the group record
is not returned by the corresponding function this error is not
considered fatal even if errno != 0. The error is logged in such case.
virStorageFileGetLVMKey and virStorageFileGetSCSIKey
both return heap allocated strings, so the return value
should not be marked const.

This will be used whenever a NIC with guaranteed throughput is to
be plugged into a bridge. It will adjust the average throughput of
non guaranteed NICs (classid 1:2) to meet new requirements.
These set bridge part of QoS when bringing domain's interface up.
Long story short, if there's a 'floor' set, a new QoS class is created.
ClassID MUST be unique within the bridge and should be kept for
unplug phase.
These classes can borrow unused bandwidth. Basically,
only egress qdsics can have classes, therefore we can
do this kind of traffic shaping only on host's outgoing,
that is domain's incoming traffic.
This is however supported only on domain interfaces with
type='network'. Moreover, target network needs to have at least
inbound QoS set. This is required by hierarchical traffic shaping.
From now on, the required attribute for <inbound/> is either 'average'
(old) or 'floor' (new). This new attribute can be used just for
interfaces type of network (<interface type='network'/>) currently.
Stochastic Fairness Queuing (SFQ) is queuing discipline
(qdisc) which doesn't really shape any traffic but 'just'
re-arrange packets in sending buffer so no stream starve.
The goal is to ensure fairness. There is basically only one
configuration parameter (perturb) which is set to advised
value of 10.
The DHCPv6 support includes IPV6 dhcp-range and dhcp-host for one
IPv6 subnetwork on one interface. This support will only work
if dnsmasq version >= 2.64; otherwise an error occurs if
dhcp-range or dhcp-host is specified for an IPv6 address.
Essentially, this change provides the same DHCP support for IPv6
that has been available for IPv4.
With dnsmasq >= 2.64, support for the RA service is also now provided
by dnsmasq (radvd is no longer used/started). (Although at least one
version of dnsmasq prior to 2.64 "supported" IPv6 Router
Advertisement, there were bugs (fixed in 2.64) that rendered it
unusable.)
Documentation and the network schema has been updated
to reflect the new support.
