In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

While most of the APIs are okay with 16M messages, the bulk stats API
can run into the limit in big configurations. Before we devise a new
plan for this, bump this limit slightly to accomodate some more configs.
This is a special type of stream packet, that is bidirectional
and contains information regarding how many bytes each side will
be skipping in the stream.

Some of the protocol files already include handing of the missing int
types such as xdr_uint64_t, some don't. To fix it everywhere, move out
of the appropriate defines to the utils/virxdrdefs.h file and include
it where needed.

Commit 27e81517a8 set the payload size to 256 KB, which is
actually the max packet size, including the size of the header.
Reduce this by VIR_NET_MESSAGE_HEADER_MAX (24) and set
VIR_NET_MESSAGE_LEGACY_PAYLOAD_MAX to 262120, which was the original
value before increasing the limit in commit eb635de1fe.
The libvirtd server pushes data out to clients. It does not
know what protocol version the client might have, so must be
conservative and use the old payload limits. ie send no more
than 256kb of data per packet.

We have seen an issue on s390x platform where domain XMLs larger than 1MB
were used. The define command was finished successfully. The dumpxml command
was not successful (i.e. could not encode message payload).
Enlarged message related sizes (e.g. maximum string size, message size, etc.)
to handle larger system configurations used on s390x platform.
To improve handling of the RPC message size the allocation during encode process
is changed to a dynamic one (i.e. starting with 64kB initial size and increasing
that size in steps up to 16MB if the payload data is larger).

Since we are allocating RPC buffer dynamically, we can increase limits
for max. size of RPC message and RPC string. This is needed to cover
some corner cases where libvirt is run on such huge machines that their
capabilities XML is 4 times bigger than our current limit. This leaves
users with inability to even connect.
Define two new RPC message types VIR_NET_CALL_WITH_FDS and
VIR_NET_REPLY_WITH_FDS. These message types are equivalent
to VIR_NET_CALL and VIR_NET_REPLY, except that between the
message header, and payload there is a 32-bit integer field
specifying how many file descriptors have been passed.
The actual file descriptors are sent/recv'd out of band.
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add support for handling
passed file descriptors
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: Extend protocol for FD
passing
This patch defines the basics of a generic RPC protocol in XDR.
This is wire ABI compatible with the original remote_protocol.x.
It takes everything except for the RPC calls / events from that
protocol
- The basic header virNetMessageHeader (aka remote_message_header)
- The error object virNetMessageError (aka remote_error)
- Two dummy objects virNetMessageDomain & virNetMessageNetwork
sadly needed to keep virNetMessageError ABI compatible with
the old remote_error
The RPC protocol supports method calls, async events and
bidirectional data streams as before
* src/Makefile.am: Add rules for generating RPC code from
protocol & define a new libvirt-net-rpc.la helper library
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: New generic RPC protocol
