In preparation of DHCP Snooping and the detection of multiple IP
addresses per interface:
The hash table that is used to collect the detected IP address of an
interface can so far only handle one IP address per interface. With
this patch we extend this to allow it to handle a list of IP addresses.
Above changes the returned variable type of virNWFilterGetIpAddrForIfname()
from char * to virNWFilterVarValuePtr; adapt all existing functions calling
this function.
This patch adds support for filtering of STP (spanning tree protocol) traffic
to the parser and makes us of the ebtables support for STP filtering. This code
now enables the filtering of traffic in chains with prefix 'stp'.

This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
Now, when we support multiple consoles per domain,
the vm->def->console[0] can still remain an alias
for vm->def->serial[0]; However, we need to copy
it's source definition as well otherwise we'll regress
on virDomainOpenConsole.
Mingw32 complains if you request export of a symbol which does
not in fact exist.

This patch extends the NWFilter driver for Linux (ebiptables) to create
rules for each member of a previously introduced list. If for example
an attribute value (internally) looks like this:
IP = [10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3]
then 3 rules will be generated for a rule accessing the variable 'IP',
one for each member of the list. The effect of this is that this now
allows for filtering for multiple values in one field. This can then be
used to support for filtering/allowing of multiple IP addresses per
interface.
An iterator is introduced that extracts each member of a list and
puts it into a hash table which then is passed to the function creating
a rule. For the above example the iterator would cause 3 loops.

NWFilters can be provided name-value pairs using the following
XML notation:
<filterref filter='xyz'>
<parameter name='PORT' value='80'/>
<parameter name='VAL' value='abc'/>
</filterref>
The internal representation currently is so that a name is stored as a
string and the value as well. This patch now addresses the value part of it
and introduces a data structure for storing a value either as a simple
value or as an array for later support of lists.
This patch adjusts all code that was handling the values in hash tables
and makes it use the new data type.

This allows strings to be transported between client and server
in the context of name-type-value virTypedParameter functions.
For compatibility,
o new clients will not send strings to old servers, based on
a feature check
o new servers will not send strings to old clients without the
flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY; this will be enforced at
the RPC layer in the next patch, so that drivers need not
worry about it in general. The one exception is that
virDomainGetSchedulerParameters lacks a flags argument, so
it must not return a string; drivers that forward that
function on to virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags will
have to pay attention to the flag.
o the flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY is set automatically,
based on a feature check (so far, no driver implements it),
so clients do not have to worry about it
Future patches can then enable the feature on a per-driver basis.
This patch also ensures that drivers can blindly strdup() field
names (previously, a malicious client could stuff 80 non-NUL bytes
into field and cause a read overrun).

To support "managed" mode of host PCI device, we record the original
states (unbind_from_stub, remove_slot, and reprobe) so that could
reattach the device to host with original driver. But there is no XML
for theses attrs, and thus after daemon is restarted, we lose the
original states. It's easy to reproduce:
1) virsh start domain
2) virsh attach-device dom hostpci.xml (in 'managed' mode)
3) service libvirtd restart
4) virsh destroy domain
You will see the device won't be bound to the original driver
if there was one.
This patch is to solve the problem by introducing internal XML
(won't be dumped to user, only dumped to status XML). The XML is:
<origstates>
<unbind/>
<remove_slot/>
<reprobe/>
</origstates>
Which will be child node of <hostdev><source>...</souce></hostdev>.
(only for PCI device).
A new struct "virDomainHostdevOrigStates" is introduced for the XML,
and the according members are updated when preparing the PCI device.
And function "qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs" is modified to honor
the original states. Use of qemuGetPciHostDeviceList is removed
in function "qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs", and the "managed" value of
the device config is honored by the change. This fixes another problem
alongside:
qemuGetPciHostDeviceList set the device as "managed" force
regardless of whether the device is configured as "managed='yes'"
or not in XML, which is not right.
Add additional fields to let you specify the how to authenticate with a disk.

Every time we write XML into a file we call virEmitXMLWarning to write a
warning that the file is automatically generated. virXMLSaveFile
simplifies this into a single step and makes rewriting existing XML file
safe by using virFileRewrite internally.
When saving config files we just overwrite old content of the file. In
case something fails during that process (e.g. disk gets full) we lose
both old and new content. This patch makes the process more robust by
writing the new content into a separate file and only if that succeeds
the original file is atomically replaced with the new one.
If a disk source gets dropped because it is not accessible,
mgmt application might want to be informed about this. Therefore
we need to emit an event. The event presented in this patch
is however a bit superset of what written above. The reason is simple:
an intention to be easily expanded, e.g. on 'user ejected disk
in guest' events. Therefore, callback gets source string and disk alias
(which should be unique among a domain) and reason (an integer);
This attribute says what to do with cdrom (or floppy) if
the source is missing. It accepts:
- mandatory - fail if missing for any reason (the default)
- requisite - fail if missing on boot up, drop if missing on
migrate/restore/revert
- optional - drop if missing at any start attempt.
However, this patch introduces only XML part of this new
functionality.

When failing on starting a domain, it tries to reattach all the PCI
devices defined in the domain conf, regardless of whether the devices
are still used by other domain. This will cause the devices to be deleted
from the list qemu_driver->activePciHostdevs, thus the devices will be
thought as usable even if it's not true. And following commands
nodedev-{reattach,reset} will be successful.
How to reproduce:
1) Define two domains with same PCI device defined in the confs.
2) # virsh start domain1
3) # virsh start domain2
4) # virsh nodedev-reattach $pci_device
You will see the device will be reattached to host successfully.
As pciDeviceReattach just check if the device is still used by
other domain via checking if the device is in list driver->activePciHostdevs,
however, the device is deleted from the list by step 2).
This patch is to prohibit the bug by:
1) Prohibit a domain starting or device attachment right at
preparation period (qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices) if the
device is in list driver->activePciHostdevs, which means
it's used by other domain.
2) Introduces a new field for struct _pciDevice, (const char *used_by),
it will be set as the domain name at preparation period,
(qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices). Thus we can prohibit deleting
the device from driver->activePciHostdevs if it's still used by
other domain when stopping the domain process.

No one was using virDomainSnapshotHasChildren, but that was an
O(n) function. Exposing and tracking a bit more metadata for each
snapshot will allow the same query to be made with an O(1) query
of the member field. For single snapshot operations (create,
delete), callers can be trusted to maintain the metadata themselves,
but for reloading, we can't compute parents as we go since there
is no guarantee that parents were parsed before children, so we also
provide a function to refresh the relationships, and which can
be used to detect if the user has ignored our warnings and been
directly modifying files in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot. This
patch only adds metadata; later patches will actually use it.
This layout intentionally hardcodes the size of each snapshot struct,
by tracking sibling pointers, rather than having to deal with the

When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174
and the discussion before and after
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html
This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.
With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.
A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).
