5bc5a44db9 conf: Change help function
The helper function to look up disk controller model may be used by scsi
hostdev. But it should be changed to use device info.

If the user requests a mount for /run, this may hide any existing
mounts that are lower down in /run. The result is that the

442d6a0527 Implement support for <hostdev caps=net>
This allows a container-type domain to have exclusive access to one of
the host's NICs.

Wire <hostdev caps=net> with the lxc_controller - when moving the newly
created veth devices into a new namespace, also look for any hostdev
devices that should be moved. Note: once the container domain has been
destroyed, there is no code that moves the interfaces back to the
original namespace. This does happen, though, probably due to default
cleanup on namespace destruction.

dca927c82f Rename virCgroupMounted to virCgroupHasController & make it more robust
The virCgroupMounted method is badly named, since a controller can be
mounted, but disabled in the current object. Rename the method to be
virCgroupHasController. Also make it tolerant to a  NULL virCgroupPtr
and out-of-range controller index, to avoid duplication of these

60b78b33e1 qemu: Translate the pool disk source earlier
To support "shareable" for volume type disk, we have to translate
the source before trying to add the shared disk entry. To achieve
the goal, this moves the helper qemuTranslateDiskSourcePool into
src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, and introduce an internal only member (voltype)
for struct _virDomainDiskSourcePoolDef, to record the underlying
volume type for use when building the drive string.

Later patch will support "shareable" volume type disk.

This introduces 4 new attributes for storage pool source adapter.
E.g.

<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host5' wwnn='20000000c9831b4b' wwpn='10000000c9831b4b'/>

Attribute 'type' can be either 'scsi_host' or 'fc_host', and defaults
to 'scsi_host' if attribute 'name' is specified. I.e. It's optional
for 'scsi_host' adapter, for back-compat reason. However, mandatory
for 'fc_host' adapter and any new future adapter types. Attribute
'parent' is to specify the parent for the fc_host adapter.

7e6aabc61f Copy struct inotify_event entries to avoid alignment problems
When reading the inotify FD, we get back a sequence of
struct inotify_event, each with variable length data following.
It is not safe to simply cast from the char *buf to the

into the struct inotify_event instance before accessing
the data.

e95de74d4c Avoid casts between unsigned char * and struct nlmsghdr
The virNetlinkCommand() method takes an 'unsigned char **'
parameter to be filled with the received netlink message.
The callers then immediately cast this to 'struct nlmsghdr',
triggering (bogus) warnings about increasing alignment
requirements

util/virnetdev.c: In function 'virNetDevLinkDump':

util/virnetdev.c:1429:12: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Wcast-align]
     resp = (struct nlmsghdr *)recvbuf;

Since all callers cast to 'struct nlmsghdr' we can avoid
the warning problem entirely by simply changing the
signature of virNetlinkCommand to return a 'struct nlmsghdr **'
instead of 'unsigned char **'. The way we do the cast inside
virNetlinkCommand does not have any alignment issues.

5899e09e61 build: check correct protocol.o file
By default, libtool builds two .o files for every .lo rule:
src/foo.o - static builds
src/.libs/foo.o - shared library builds

But since commit ad42b34b disabled static builds, src/foo.o is
no longer built by default.  On a fresh checkout, this means our
protocol check rules using pdwtags were testing a missing file,
and thanks to a lousy behavior of pdwtags happily giving no output
and 0 exit status (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/949034), we were
merely claiming that "dwarves is too old" and skipping the test.

However, if you swap between branches and do incremental builds,
such as building v0.10.2-maint and then switching back to master,
you end up with src/foo.o being leftover from its 0.10.2 state,
and then 'make check' fails because the .o file does not match
the protocol-structs file due to API additions in the meantime.

A simpler fix would be to always look in .libs for the .o to
be parsed; but since it is possible to pass ./configure options
to tell libtool to do a static-only build with no shared .o,
I went with the approach of finding the newest of the two files,
whenever both exist.

* src/Makefile.am (PDWTAGS): Ensure we test just-built file.

ce65b43589 qemu: Remove maximum cpu limit when setting processor count using the API
When setting processor count for a domain using the API libvirt enforced
a maximum processor count, while it isn't enforced when taking the XML path.

This patch removes the check to match the XML.

56f27b3bbc Don't create dirs in cgroup controllers we don't want to use
Currently when getting an instance of virCgroupPtr we will
create the path in all cgroup controllers. Only at the virt
driver layer are we attempting to filter controllers. This
is bad because the mere act of creating the dirs in the
controllers can have a functional impact on the kernel,
particularly for performance.

Update the virCgroupForDriver() method to accept a bitmask
of controllers to use. Only create dirs in the controllers
that are requested. When creating cgroups for domains,
respect the active controller list from the parent cgroup

The virCgroupGetAppRoot is not clear in its meaning. Change
to virCgroupForSelf to highlight that this returns the
cgroup config for the caller's process

b1d3154a50 Ensure LD_PRELOAD exists before running test case
The linker will ignore LD_PRELOAD libraries which do not
exist, just printing a warning message. This is not helpful
for the test suite which will be utterly fubar without the
preload library present. Add an explicit test for existence
of the library to protect against this

8ef2b2c5b1 Refactor RNG schema for resource tuning
Split the "resource" define out into multiple smaller
defines, one for each type of resource tuning parameter.
This makes the schema a bit clearer to read

8ad126e695 rpc: Fix connection close callback race condition and memory corruption/crash
The last Viktor's effort to fix the race and memory corruption unfortunately
wasn't complete in the case the close callback was not registered in an
connection. At that time, the trail of event's that I'll describe later could
still happen and corrupt the memory or cause a crash of the client (including
the daemon in case of a p2p migration).

Consider the following prerequisities and trail of events:
Let's have a remote connection to a hypervisor that doesn't have a close
callback registered and the client is using the event loop. The crash happens in
cooperation of 2 threads. Thread E is the event loop and thread W is the worker
that does some stuff. R denotes the remote client.

1.) W - The client finishes everything and sheds the last reference on the client
2.) W - The virObject stuff invokes virConnectDispose that invokes doRemoteClose
3.) W - the remote close method invokes the REMOTE_PROC_CLOSE RPC method.
4.) W - The thread is preempted at this point.
5.) R - The remote side receives the close and closes the socket.
6.) E - poll() wakes up due to the closed socket and invokes the close callback
7.) E - The event loop is preempted right before remoteClientCloseFunc is called
8.) W - The worker now finishes, and frees the conn object.
9.) E - The remoteClientCloseFunc accesses the now-freed conn object in the
        attempt to retrieve pointer for the real close callback.
10.) Kaboom, corrupted memory/segfault.

This patch tries to fix this by introducing a new object that survives the
freeing of the connection object. We can't increase the reference count on the
connection object itself or the connection would never be closed, as the
connection is closed only when the reference count reaches zero.

The new object - virConnectCloseCallbackData - is a lockable object that keeps
the pointers to the real user registered callback and ensures that the
connection callback is either not called if the connection was already freed or
that the connection isn't freed while this is being called.

69ab07560a virsh: Register and unregister the close callback also in cmdConnect

the callback reference.

ca9e73ebb6 virsh: Move cmdConnect from virsh-host.c to virsh.c
The function is used to establish connection so it should be in the main
virsh file. This movement also enables further improvements done in next
patches.

Note that the "connect" command has moved from the host section of virsh to the
main section. It is now listed by 'virsh help virsh' instead of 'virsh help
host'.

e964ba2786 virsh: Unregister the connection close notifier upon termination
Before closing the connection we unregister the close callback
to prevent a reference leak.

Further, the messages on virConnectClose != 0 are a bit more specific
now.
