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)
When the actualType of a virDomainNetDef is "network", it means that
we are connecting to a libvirt-managed network (routed, natted, or
isolated) which does use a bridge device (created by libvirt). In the
past we have required drivers such as qemu to call the public API to
retrieve the bridge name in this case (even though it is available in
the NetDef's ActualNetDef if the actualType is "bridge" (i.e., an
externally-created bridge that isn't managed by libvirt). There is no
real reason for this difference, and as a matter of fact it
complicates things for qemu. Also, there is another bridge-related
attribute (macTableManager) that will need to be available in both
cases, so this makes things consistent.
In order to avoid problems when restarting libvirtd after an update
from an older version that *doesn't* store the network's bridgename in
the ActualNetDef, we also need to put it in place during
networkNotifyActualDevice() (this function is run for each interface
of each domain whenever libvirtd is restarted).
Along with making the bridge name available in the internal object, it
is also now reported in the <source> element of the <interface> state
XML (or the <actual> subelement in the internally-stored format).
The one oddity about this change is that usually there is a separate
union for every different "type" in a higher level object (e.g. in the
case of a virDomainNetDef there are separate "network" and "bridge"
members of the union that pivots on the type), but in this case
network and bridge types both have exactly the same attributes, so the
"bridge" member is used for both type==network and type==bridge.

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.

To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
To track state of virtio channels this patch adds a new output-only
attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.
virDomainChrSourceDefIsEqual should return 'true' for

As reviewing patches upstream it occurred to me, that we have two
functions doing nearly the same: virDomainParseMemory which
expects XML in the following format:
<memory unit='MiB'>1337</memory>
The other function being virDomainHugepagesParseXML expecting the
following format:
<someElement size='1337' unit='MiB'/>
It wouldn't matter to have two functions handle two different
scenarios like this if we could only not copy code that handles
32bit arches around. So this code merges the common parts into
one by inventing new @units_xpath argument to
virDomainParseMemory which allows overriding the default location
of @unit attribute in XML. With this change both scenarios above
can be parsed with virDomainParseMemory.

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.

It makes sense for none of the callers to have negative value as an
output and, fortunately, if anyone tried defining domain with negative
memory or any other value parsed by virDomainParseScaledValue(), the
resulting value was 0. That means we can error out during parsing as
it won't break anything.

Allow the Xen drivers to determine default vram values. Sane
default vaules depend on the device model being used, so the
drivers are in the best position to determine the defaults.
For the legacy xen driver, it is best to maintain the existing

regressions. The libxl driver currently does not support
configuring a video device. Support will be added in a
subsequent patch, where the benefit of this change will be

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/>

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.

There are two ways in which security model can make it way into
<seclabel/>. One is as the @model attribute, the second one is
via security_driver knob in qemu.conf. Then, while parsing
<seclabel/> several checks and fix ups of old, stale combinations
are performed. However, iff @model is specified. They are not
done in the latter case. So it's still possible to feed libvirt
with senseless combinations (if qemu.conf is adjusted correctly).
One example of a seclabel that needs some adjustment (in case
security_driver=none in qemu.conf) is:
<seclabel type='dynamic' relabel='yes'/>

(covering the former case) into virSecurityLabelDefsParseXML
