Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
Adds <smartcard mode='passthrough' type='spicevmc'/>, which uses the
new <channel name='smartcard'/> of <graphics type='spice'>.

Assuming a hypervisor that supports multiple smartcard devices in the
guest, this would be a valid XML description:
<devices>
<smartcard mode='host'/>
<smartcard mode='host-certificates'>
<certificate>/path/to/cert1</certificate>
<certificate>/path/to/cert2</certificate>

<protocol type='raw'/>
</smartcard>

(As of this commit, the qemu hypervisor will be the first
implementation, but it only supports one smartcard.)

In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available
v5:

QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>
This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').
Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.
v2:
schema: Make listen vs. socket a <choice>
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.
This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.
This is in response to a request in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665293
In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).
Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.
The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.
<interface type='network'>
...
<tune>
<sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
...
</tune>
</interface>

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.
This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:
<interface type="network">
<model type="virtio"/>
<driver name="vhost"/>
will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.
If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
* there can now be more than one <ip> element.
* ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
* new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
* new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
(will default to ipv4)
* define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
(including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
correctly parsed and formatted.
In practice this has always been optional, but the RNG has shown it as
mandatory, and since all the examples for make check had it, it was
never noticed. One of the existing test cases has been changed to
check for this.
I also noticed that the dhcp/host/ip was still defined as <text/>,
but should really be <ref name='ipv4-addr'/>
The xml watchdog dump option is converted to qemu watchdog pause arg
but it is not reasonable to convert it back from qemu watchdog pause
arg since there already is a xml watchdog pause option, so a test for
the dump option to convert it from arg to xml is not added.
Changes common to all network disks:
-Make source name optional in the domain schema, since NBD doesn't use it
-Add a hostName type to the domain schema, and use it instead of genericName, which doesn't include .
-Don't leak host names or ports
-Set the source protocol in qemuParseCommandline

IP addresses and MAC addresses had been defined in the RNG simply as
<text/> meaning that, according to the RNG, any string could go in
there. Of course the C parsing code does a much better job of
validating, but we may as well have this describing the contents
accurately (even though it's currently only used during "make check").
All the other RNG files in libvirt are enclosed within <grammar>. This
commit makes the syntactical changes necessary to make network.rng fit
that pattern. (This is the first step in adding some data type
definitions to network.rng for more exact validation of IP and MAC
addresses).
Formatting changes (indentation) will be done in a subsequent commit,
so that actual changes to the code won't be obscured by whitespace.

The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
<memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,
i.e. don't pass the args to qemu/kvm
All <console> devices now export a <target> type attribute. QEMU defaults
to 'serial', UML defaults to 'uml, xen can be either 'serial' or 'xen'
depending on fullvirt. Understandably there is lots of test fallout.
This will be used to differentiate between a serial vs. virtio console for
QEMU.

Add a new element to the <os> block:
<bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>
Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.
I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.
Thanks to DV for knocking together the Relax-NG changes

To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the

guests by default.

By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
According to docs/formatdomain.html.in, "The boot element can be
repeated multiple times to setup a priority list of boot devices to try
in turn." The Relax-NG schema required / allowed exactly one entry.

This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.
The virtio serial changes broke the test suite because they forgot

This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
</virtualport>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
<parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.
Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
- removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
- indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
properly
- parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
parameter '0' for base
- tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
- adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
- added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
(802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
necessary to use (for SR-IOV)
Allow for a host UUID in the capabilities XML. Local drivers
will initialize this from the SMBIOS data. If a sanity check
shows SMBIOS uuid is invalid, allow an override from the
libvirtd.conf configuration file
* daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.conf: Support a host_uuid

So far the references to other filters needed to appear before filtering
rules. With the below patch they can now appear in any order.
Also I forgot to add a couple of 'rarp's.
This patch adds support for the RARP protocol. This may be needed due to
qemu sending out a RARP packet (at least that's what it seems to want to
do even though the protocol id is wrong) when migration finishes and
we'd need a rule to let the packets pass.
Unfortunately my installation of ebtables does not understand -p RARP
and also seems to otherwise depend on strings in /etc/ethertype
translated to protocol identifiers. Therefore I need to pass -p 0x8035
for RARP. To generally get rid of the dependency of that file I switch
all so far supported protocols to use their protocol identifier in the
-p parameter rather than the string.
I am also extending the schema and added a test case.
changes from v1 to v2:
- added test case into patch
With this patch I want to enable hex number inputs in the filter XML. A
number that was entered as hex is also printed as hex unless a string
representing the meaning can be found.
I am also extending the schema and adding a test case. A problem with
the DSCP value is fixed on the way as well.
Changes from V1 to V2:
- using asHex boolean in all printf type of functions to select the
output format in hex or decimal format
This patch adds a relaxng nwfilter schema along with a test that
verifies all the test output XML against the schema. The input XMLs
contain a lot of intentional out-of-range values that make them fail the
schema verification, so I am not verifying against those.
The clock timer XML is being updated in the following ways (based on
further off-list discussion that was missed during the initial
implementation):
1) 'wallclock' is changed to 'track', and the possible values are 'boot'
(corresponds to old 'host'), 'guest', and 'wall'.
2) 'mode' has an additional value 'smpsafe'
3) when tickpolicy='catchup', there can be an optional sub-element of
timer called 'catchup':
<catchup threshold=123 slew=120 limit=10000/>
Those three values are all longs, always optional, and if they are present,
they are positive. Internally, 0 indicates "unspecified".
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated RNG definition to account for changes
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: change the C struct and enums to match changes.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: timer parse and format functions changed to
handle the new selections and new element.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: *TimerWallclock* changes to *TimerTrack*
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: again, account for Wallclock --> Track change.
timers are sub-elements of clocks. A clock can have zero or more
instances of timer. Within the timer, only the name attribute is
required; all other attributes are optional.
A simpler representation of a timer element is:
<timer name='platform|pit|rtc|hpet|tsc'
wallclock='host|guest'
tickpolicy='delay|catchup|merge|discard'
frequency='123'
mode='auto|native|emulate|paravirt'
present='yes|no'/>
frequency is a ulong. All other attributes are simple enums.
* Fixes per feedback from Dan and Daniel
* Added test datafiles
* Re-disabled JSON flags
* Added code to print the error policy attribute when generating XML
* Re-add empty tag
This extends the XML to allow for
<clock offset='timezone' timezone='Europe/Paris'/>
This is useful if the admin has not configured any timezone on the
host OS, but still wants to synchronize a guest to a specific one.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c: Support extra
'timezone' attribute on clock configuration
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add 'timezone' attribute
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Reject configs
with a configurable timezone
This introduces a third option for clock offset synchronization,
that allows an arbitrary / variable adjustment to be set. In
essence the XML contains the time delta in seconds, relative to
UTC.
<clock offset='variable' adjustment='123465'/>
The difference from 'utc' mode, is that management apps should
track adjustments and preserve them at next reboot.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Schema for new clock mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Parse
new clock time delta
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/xml.c, src/util/xml.h: Add
virXPathLongLong() method
Add support for virtio-serial by defining a new 'virtio' channel target type
and a virtio-serial controller. Allows the following to be specified in a
domain:
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0' ports='16' vectors='4'/>
<channel type='pty'>
<target type='virtio' name='org.linux-kvm.port.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0'/>
</channel>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add virtio-serial controller and virtio
channel type.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]: Domain parsing/serialization for
virtio-serial controller and virtio channel.
* tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: add domain xml
parsing test
* src/libvirt_private.syms src/qemu/qemu_conf.c:
virDomainDefAddDiskControllers() renamed to
virDomainDefAddImplicitControllers()
The current schema is more permissive than the XML parsing code in
libvirt. Precisely, 'match' attribute is optional in schema while in
reality its use is bound to <model> element:
- <cpu> element without 'match' attribute is allowed only if <topology>
element is the only child element of <cpu>
- <cpu> element with 'match' attribute requires <model> element to be
present; <topology> and <feature> elements are optional

When attaching a USB host device based on vendor/product, libvirt
will resolve the vendor/product into a device/bus pair. This means
that when printing XML we should allow device/bus info to be printed
at any time if present
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, docs/schemas/domain.rng: Allow USB device
bus info alongside vendor/product
Allows the initiator to use a variety of IQNs rather than just the
system IQN when creating iSCSI pools.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: extends the syntax with <iqn name="..."/>
* src/conf/storage_conf.[ch]: read and stores the iqn name
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.[ch]: implement the IQN selection
when detected
The RNG now supports IPv6 and bonds attached to bridges, along with
some other minor tweaks. All test files from netcf have been copied to
the test directory and added to the xml2xml and schema tests (and they
all pass, of course ;-)
Currently CPU topology may only be specified together with CPU model:
<cpu match='exact'>
<model>name</model>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='3'/>
</cpu>
This patch allows for CPU topology specification without the need for
also specifying CPU model:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='3'/>
</cpu>
'match' attribute and 'model' element are made optional with the
restriction that 'match' attribute has to be set when 'model' is
present.

Although the serial, parallel, chanel, input & fs devices do
not have PCI address info, they can all have device aliases.
Thus it neccessary to associate the virDomainDeviceInfo data
with them all.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add hooks for
parsing / formatting device info for serial, parallel, channel
input and fs devices.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Associate device info with character
devices, input & fs device
This augments virDomainDevice with a <controller> element
that is used to represent disk controllers (e.g., scsi
controllers). The XML format is given by
<controller type="scsi" index="<num>">
<address type="pci" domain="0xNUM" bus="0xNUM" slot="0xNUM"/>
</controller>
where type denotes the disk interface (scsi, ide,...), index
is an integer that identifies the controller for association
with disks, and the <address> element specifies the controller
address on the PCI bus as described in previous commits
The address element can be omitted; in this case, an address
will be assigned automatically.
Most of the code in this patch is from Wolfgang Mauerer's
previous disk controller series
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Define syntax for <controller>
XML element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Define
virDomainControllerDef struct, and routines for parsing
and formatting XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainControllerInsert
and virDomainControllerDefFree
Add the virDomainDeviceAddress information to the sound, video
and watchdog devices. This means all of them gain the new XML
element
<address .... />
This brings them upto par with disk/net/hostdev devices which
already have address info
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add virDomainDeviceAddress to sound,
video & watchdog device struts.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Hook up parsing/formatting for
virDomainDeviceAddress in sound, video & watchdog devices
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Associate device address info
with sound, video & watchdog
Introduce a new structure
struct _virDomainDeviceDriveAddress {
unsigned int controller;
unsigned int bus;
unsigned int unit;
};
and plug that into virDomainDeviceAddress and generates XML that
looks like
<address type='drive' controller='1' bus='0' unit='5'/>
This syntax will be used by the QEMU driver to explicitly control
how drives are attached to the bus
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parsing and
formatting of drive addresses
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Define new address format for drives
All guest devices now use a common device address structure
summarized by:
enum virDomainDeviceAddressType {
VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_NONE,
VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_PCI,
};
struct _virDomainDevicePCIAddress {
unsigned int domain;
unsigned int bus;
unsigned int slot;
unsigned int function;
};
struct _virDomainDeviceInfo {
int type;
union {
virDomainDevicePCIAddress pci;
} addr;
};
This replaces the anonymous structs in Disk/Net/Hostdev data
structures. Where available, the address is *always* printed
in the XML file, instead of being hidden in the internal state
file.
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x1e' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
The structure definition is based on Wolfgang Mauerer's disk
controller patch series.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Define the <address> syntax and
associate it with disk/net/hostdev devices
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: APIs for parsing/formatting address
information. Also remove the QEMU specific 'pci_addr' attributes
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Replace use of 'pci_addr' attrs with
new standardized format.
XML schema for CPU flags
Firstly, CPU topology and model with optional features have to be
advertised in host capabilities:
<host>
<cpu>
<arch>ARCHITECTURE</arch>
<features>
<!-- old-style features are here -->
</features>
<model>NAME</model>
<topology sockets="S" cores="C" threads="T"/>
<feature name="NAME"/>
</cpu>
...
</host>
Secondly, drivers which support detailed CPU specification have to
advertise
it in guest capabilities:
<guest>
...
<features>
<cpuselection/>
</features>
</guest>
And finally, CPU may be configured in domain XML configuration:
<domain>
...
<cpu match="MATCH">
<model>NAME</model>
<topology sockets="S" cores="C" threads="T"/>
<feature policy="POLICY" name="NAME"/>
</cpu>
</domain>
Where MATCH can be one of:
- 'minimum' specified CPU is the minimum requested CPU
- 'exact' disable all additional features provided by host CPU
- 'strict' fail if host CPU doesn't exactly match
POLICY can be one of:
- 'force' turn on the feature, even if host doesn't have it
- 'require' fail if host doesn't have the feature
- 'optional' match host
- 'disable' turn off the feature, even if host has it
- 'forbid' fail if host has the feature
'force' and 'disable' policies turn on/off the feature regardless of its
availability on host. 'force' is unlikely to be used but its there for
completeness since Xen and VMWare allow it.
'require' and 'forbid' policies prevent a guest from being started on a host
which doesn't/does have the feature. 'forbid' is for cases where you disable
the feature but a guest may still try to access it anyway and you don't want
it to succeed.
'optional' policy sets the feature according to its availability on host.
When a guest is booted on a host that has the feature and then migrated to
another host, the policy changes to 'require' as we can't take the feature
away from a running guest.
Default policy for features provided by host CPU but not specified in domain
configuration is set using match attribute of cpu tag. If 'minimum' match is
requested, additional features will be treated as if they were specified
with 'optional' policy. 'exact' match implies 'disable' policy and 'strict'
match stands for 'forbid' policy.
* docs/schemas/capability.rng docs/schemas/domain.rng: extend the
RelaxNG schemas to add CPU flags support
Introduce a new type="dir" mode for <disks> that allows use of
QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver. eg
<disk type='dir' device='floppy'>
<source dir='/tmp/test'/>
<target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
gets turned into
-drive file=fat:floppy:/tmp/test,if=floppy,index=0
Only read-only disks are supported with virtual FAT mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add type="dir"
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Document new disk type
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Raise error for
unsupported disk types
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-cdrom-empty.args: Fix

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Support generating fat:/some/dir type
disk args
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Temporarily skip labelling
of directory based disks
For backward compatibility we used to add the tty path as
a tty attribute on console of type pty, duplicating the value
now found in source/@path, but the Relax-NG grammar wasn't
extended for this
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/8'>
<source path='/dev/pts/8'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: allow an optional tty attribute
containing a devicePath
