Currently, nbdkit support will automatically be enabled as long as
the pidfd_open(2) syscall is available. Optionally, libnbd is used
to generate more user-friendly error messages.
In theory this is all good, since use of nbdkit is supposed to be
transparent to the user. In practice, however, there is a problem:
if support for it is enabled at build time and the necessary
runtime components are installed, nbdkit will always be preferred,
with no way for the user to opt out.
This will arguably be fine in the long run, but right now none of
the platforms that we target ships with a SELinux policy that
allows libvirt to launch nbdkit, and the AppArmor policy that we
maintain ourselves hasn't been updated either.
So, in practice, as of today having nbdkit installed on the host
makes network disks completely unusable unless you're willing to
compromise the overall security of the system by disabling
SELinux/AppArmor.
In order to make the transition smoother, provide a convenient
way for users and distro packagers to disable nbdkit support at
compile time until SELinux and AppArmor are ready.
In the process, detection is completely overhauled. libnbd is
made mandatory when nbdkit support is enabled, since availability
across operating systems is comparable and offering users the
option to make error messages worse doesn't make a lot of sense;
we also make sure that an explicit request from the user to
enable/disable nbdkit support is either complied with, or results
in a build failure when that's not possible. Last but not least,
we avoid linking against libnbd when nbdkit support is disabled.
At the RPM level, we disable the feature when building against
anything older than Fedora 40, which still doesn't have the
necessary SELinux bits but will hopefully gain them by the time
it's released. We also allow nbdkit support to be disabled at
build time the same way as other optional features, that is, by
passing "--define '_without_nbdkit 1'" to rpmbuild. Finally, if
nbdkit support has been disabled, installing libvirt will no
longer drag it in as a (weak) dependency.

virProcessKillPainfullyDelay() currently almost always returns 1 or -1,
even though the documentation indicates that it should return 0 if the
process was terminated gracefully. But the computation of the return
code is faulty and the only case where it currently returns 0 is when it
is called with the pid of a process that does not exist.
Since no callers ever even distinguish between the 0 and 1 response
codes, simply get rid of the distinction and return 0 for both cases.

Only the main socket is actually necessary for the service to be
usable.
In the past, we've had security issues that could be exploited via
access to the read-only socket, so a security-minded administrator
might consider disabling all optional sockets. This change makes
such a setup possible.
Note that the services will still try to activate all their
sockets on startup, even if they have been disabled. To make sure
that the optional sockets are never started, they will have to be
masked.

We want to make sure that, at any given time, we have either the
modular daemons or the monolithic one running, never both. In
order to achieve that, make every single modular unit conflict
with the corresponding libvirtd unit.
We set both Conflicts=libvirtd.unit and After=libvirtd.unit: this
tells systemd that, whenever virtfood.unit and libvirtd.unit are
part of the same transaction, the former should win out.
Thanks to this, if both the modular daemons and the monolithic
one have been enabled because of outdated automation or a simple
mistake of the administrator, the request to start libvirtd at
boot will be ignored and the result will be a regular modular
deployment.
If the request to start libvirtd is made when the modular daemons
are already running, we have no way to prevent systemd from
complying with that request; however, thanks to the way the
conflict relationship has been declared, they will be shut down
cleanly before libvirtd is started. From the user's point of
view, the transition from modular to monolithic will be
completely transparent: it's basically the same scenario as a
regular package upgrade, just with an extra twist.
Note that, while switching from modular to monolithic at runtime
happens automatically, going back requires manual intervention,
i.e. starting all the necessary sockets one by one. That's okay:
the goal here is to prevent misconfiguration and force of habit
to accidentally disrupt a working setup, not to encourage the
scenario. In a correctly configured and managed host, it should
never occur.

We already use templating to generate sockets, which are all
based off libvirtd's. Push the idea further, and extend it to
cover services as well.
This is more challenging, as the various modular daemons each have
their own needs in terms of what system services needs to be
available before they can be started, which other components of
libvirt they depend on, and so on.
In order to make this sort of per-service tweaks possible, we
introduce a Python script that can merge two systemd units
together. The script is aware of the semantics of systemd's unit
definition format, so it can intelligently merge sections
together.
This generic systemd unit merging mechanism will also supersede
the extremely ad-hoc @deps@ variable, which is currently used in
a single scenario.
