This matches the public API and helps to get rid of some special
case code in the remote generator.
Rename driver API functions and XDR protocol structs.
No functional change included outside of the remote generator.
This patch adds a mode_t parameter to virFileWriteStr().
If mode is different from 0, virFileWriteStr() will try
to create the file if it doesn't exist.
* src/util/util.h (virFileWriteStr): Alter signature.
* src/util/util.c (virFileWriteStr): Allow file creation.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c (networkEnableIpForwarding)
(networkDisableIPV6): Adjust clients.
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c
(nodeDeviceVportCreateDelete): Likewise.
* src/util/cgroup.c (virCgroupSetValueStr): Likewise.
* src/util/pci.c (pciBindDeviceToStub, pciUnBindDeviceFromStub):
Likewise.
node_device/node_device_driver.c: In function 'nodeDeviceVportCreateDelete':
node_device/node_device_driver.c:423: error: implicit declaration of function 'stat' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c (includes): Add <sys/stat.h>.
Some kernels, such as the one used in RHEL-5, have vport_create and
vport_delete operation files in /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN directory
instead of /sys/class/fc_host/hostN. Let's check both paths for
compatibility reasons.
This also removes unnecessary '/' characters from sysfs paths containing
LINUX_SYSFS_FC_HOST_PREFIX.
HAL is deprecated and UDEV is the future. Thus if both
options are compiled, we should prefer use of UDEV over
HAL
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c: Switch init
order to try UDEV first, then HAL
* It appears that the udev event for HBA creation arrives before the
associated sysfs data is fully populated, resulting in bogus data
for the nodedev entry until the entry is refreshed. This problem is
particularly troublesome when creating NPIV vHBAs because it results
in libvirt failing to find the newly created adapter and waiting for
the full timeout period before erroneously failing the create
operation. This patch forces an update before any attempt to use
any scsi_host nodedev entry.
The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
from all APIs in node_device_conf.{h,c} and update all callers to
match
This invalid free results in heap corruption. Some symptoms I saw
because of this were libvirtd crashing and virt-manager hanging
while trying to enumerate devices.
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c (update_driver_name): The
previous code would write one byte beyond the end of the 4KiB
stack buffer when presented with a symlink value of exactly that
length (very unlikely). Remove the automatic buffer and use
virFileResolveLink in place of readlink. Suggested by Daniel Veillard.
I realized that I inadvertently added a member to the def struct to
contain each device's sysfs path when there was an existing member in the
dev struct for "OS specific path to device metadat, eg sysfs" Since the
udev backend needs to record the sysfs path while it's in the process of
creating the device, before the dev struct gets allocated, I chose to
remove the member from the dev struct.

src/node_device/node_device_driver.c src/node_device/node_device_hal.c
src/node_device/node_device_udev.c: remove devicePath from the
