ad9d186370 python: return error if PyObject obj is NULL for unwrapper helper functions
The result is indeterminate for NULL argument to python
functions as follows. It's better to return negative value in
these situations.

PyObject_IsTrue will segfault if the argument is NULL
PyFloat_AsDouble(NULL) is -1.000000
PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong(NULL) is 0.000000

9875efbdc3 Fix compilation of legacy xen driver with Xen 4.2
In Xen 4.2, xs.h is deprecated in favor of xenstore.h.  xs.h now
contains

#warning xs.h is deprecated use xenstore.h instead
#include <xenstore.h>

which fails compilation when warnings are treated as errors.

Introduce a configure-time check for xenstore.h and if found,
use it instead of xs.h.

eed4cb360b Fix potential deadlock when agent is closed
If the qemuAgentClose method is called from a place which holds
the domain lock, it is theoretically possible to get a deadlock
in the agent destroy callback. This has not been observed, but
the equivalent code in the QEMU monitor destroy callback has seen
a deadlock.

Remove the redundant locking while unrefing the object and the
bogus assignment

At frame #10 we are holding the domain lock, we call into
qemuProcessStop() to cleanup QEMU, which triggers the monitor
to close, which invokes qemuProcessHandleMonitorDestroy() which
tries to obtain the domain lock again. This is a non-recursive
lock, hence hang.

Since qemuMonitorPtr is a virObject, the unref call in
qemuProcessHandleMonitorDestroy no longer needs mutex
protection. The assignment of priv->mon = NULL, can be
instead done by the caller of qemuMonitorClose(), thus
removing all need for locking.

When the driver calls virLXCMonitorClose, there is really no
need for the EOF callback to be invoked in this case, since
the caller can easily handle events itself. In changing this,
the monitor needs to take a deep copy of the callback list,
not merely a reference.

Also adds debug statements in various places to aid
troubleshooting

SELinux wants all log files opened with O_APPEND. When
running non-root though, libvirtd likes to use O_TRUNC
to avoid log files growing in size indefinitely. Instead
of using O_TRUNC though, we can use O_APPEND and then
call ftruncate() which keeps SELinux happier.

f35c18c783 build: fix detection of netcf linked with libnl1
Commit 9298bfbcb introduced code to detect if netcf is linked with
libnl1, and to prefer libnl1 over libnl3 when this is the case.
This behaviour can be disabled by setting LIBNL_CFLAGS to any value,
including the empty string.
However, configure.ac sets LIBNL_CFLAGS to "" before attempting
libnl detection, so the libnl1 detection code is always disabled.
This caused issues on my f17 system where netcf is linked with libnl1
but libvirt got built with libnl3.

This commit removes the setting of the LIBNL_* variables to "" as
this does not appear to be needed. After this change, libnl1 is
used when building libvirt on my f17 system.

5cdcb75d45 network: log error for unknown virNetworkUpdate command codes
Every level of the code for virNetworkUpdate was assuming that some
other level was checking for validity of the "command" arg, but none
actually were. The result was that an invalid command code would do
nothing, but also report success.

Since the command code isn't used until the very lowest level backend
functions, that's where I put the check. I made a separate one-line
function to log the error. The compiler would have combined the
identical strings used by multiple calls if I'd just called
virReportError directly in each location, but sending them all to the
same string in the source guards against inadvertant divergence (which
would lead to extra work for translators.)

f59e25e012 network: make virNetworkObjUpdate error detection/recovery better
1) virNetworkObjUpdate should be an all or none operation, but in the
case that we want to update both the live state and persistent config
versions of the network, it was committing the update to the live
state before starting to update the persistent config. If update of
the persistent config failed, we would leave with things in an
inconsistent state - the live state would be updated (even though an
error was returned), but persistent config unchanged.

This patch changed virNetworkObjUpdate to use a separate pointer for
each copy of the virNetworkDef, and not commit either of them in the
virNetworkObj until both live and config parts of the update have
successfully completed.

2) The parsers for various pieces of the virNetworkDef have all sorts
of subtle limitations on them that may not be known by the
Update[section] function, making it possible for one of these
functions to make a modification directly to the object that may not
pass the scrutiny of a subsequent parse. But normally another parse
wouldn't be done on the data until the *next* time the object was
updated (which could leave the network definition in an unusable
state).

Rather than fighting the losing battle of trying to duplicate all the
checks from the parsers into the update functions as well, the more
foolproof solution to this is to simply do an extra
virNetworkDefCopy() operation on the updated networkdef -
virNetworkDefCopy() does a virNetworkFormat() followed by a
virNetworkParseString(), so it will do all the checks we need. If this
fails, then we don't commit the changed def.

36ba0ee7b9 network: don't "refresh" iptables rules on rule-less networks
The bridge driver implementation of virNetworkUpdate() removes and
re-adds iptables rules any time a network has an <ip>, <forward>, or
<forward>/<interface> element updated. There are some types of
networks that have those elements and yet have no iptables rules
associated with them, and unfortunately the functions that remove/add
iptables rules don't check the type of network before attempting to
remove/add the rules, sometimes leading to an erroneous failure of the
entire update operation.

Under normal circumstances I would refactor the lower level functions
to be more robust, but to avoid code churn as much as possible, I've
just added extra checks directly to networkUpdate().

Add, delete, and modify are all supported for portgroup. When deleting
a portgroup, only the name must be specified in the provided xml - all
other attributes and subelements are ignored for the purposes of
matching and existing portgroup.

The bridge driver and virsh already know about the portgroup element,
so providing this backend should cause the entire stack to work. Note
that in the case of portgroup, there is no external daemon based on
the portgroup config, so nothing must be restarted.

It is important to note that guests make a copy of the appropriate
network's portgroup data when they are started, so although an updated
portgroup's configuration will have an affect on new guests started
after the cahange, existing guests won't magically have their
bandwidth changed, for example. If something like that is desired, it
will take a lot of redesign work in the way network devices are setup
(there is currently no link from the network back to the individual
interfaces using it, much less from a portgroup within a network back
to the individual interfaces).

1100f61074 network: backend for virNetworkUpdate of dhcp range
The dhcp range element is contained in the <dhcp> element of one of a
network's <ip> elements. There can be multiple <range>
elements. Because there are only two attributes (start and end), and
those are exactly what you would use to identify a particular range,
it doesn't really make sense to modify an existing element, so
VIR_NETWORK_UPDATE_COMMAND_MODIFY isn't supported for this section,
only ADD_FIRST, ADD_LAST, and DELETE.

Since virsh already has support for understanding all the defined
sections, this new backend is automatically supported by virsh. You
would use it like this:

  virsh net-update mynet add ip-dhcp-range \
        "<range start='1.2.3.4' end='1.2.3.20'/>" --live --config

The bridge driver also already supports all sections, so it's doing
the correct thing in this case as well - since the dhcp range is
placed on the dnsmasq commandline, the bridge driver recreates the
dnsmasq commandline, and re-runs dnsmasq whenever a range is
added/deleted (and AFFECT_LIVE is specified in the flags).

fe7872827f virsh: new net-update command
This command uses the new virNetworkUpdate() API to modify an existing
network definition, and optionally have those modifications take
effect immediately without restarting the network.

An example usage:

  virsh net-update mynet add-last ip-dhcp-host \
   "<host mac='00:11:22:33:44:55' ip='192.168.122.45'/>" \
   --live --config

If you like, you can instead put the xml into a file, and call like
this:

  virsh net-update mynet add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myxml.xml
   --live --config

virsh will autodetect whether the argument is itself an xml element,
or if it's a file, by looking at the first character - the first
character of an xml element is always "<", and the first character of
a file is almost always *not* "<" (in the rare case that it is, the
user could specify "./<filename...").

A --parent-index option is also available (to give the index within a
list of parent objects, e.g. the index of the parent <ip> element when
updating ip-dhcp-host elements), but is optional and at least for now
will probably be used rarely.

--live, --config, and --current options - if you specify --live, only
the live state of the network will be updated. If you also specify
--config, then the persistent configuration will also be updated;
these two commands can be given separately, or both together. If you
don't specify either (you can optionally specify "--current" for the
same effect), then the "current" config will be updated (i.e. if the
network is active, then only its live config is affected, but if the
network is inactive, only the persistent config is affected).

Noticed this by reading the page.  It would be so much nicer if our
tools could automatically flag things like this as part of 'make'.

d4170dfad3 Ensure autogen.sh exists if bootstrap fails
If any of the bootstrap tasks (autoconf/automake/etc) failed,
autogen.sh carried on running any pre-existing configure anyway.
Use 'set -e' to ensure autogen.sh immediately exists on error.
