Since the name (like scsi_host10) is not stable for vHBA, (it can
be changed either after recreating or system rebooting), current
API virNodeDeviceLookupByName is not nice to use for management app
in this case. (E.g. one wants to destroy the vHBA whose name has
been changed after system rebooting, he has to find out current
name first).
Later patches will support the persistent vHBA via storage pool,
with which one can identify the vHBA stably by the wwnn && wwpn
pair.
So this new API comes.
Working with virTypedParameters in clients written in C is ugly and
requires all clients to duplicate the same code. This set of APIs makes
this code for manipulating with virTypedParameters integral part of
libvirt so that all clients may benefit from it.
This patch adds a new API, virDomainOpenChannel, that uses streams to
connect to a virtio channel on a guest. This creates a secure
communication channel between a guest and a libvirt client.
This behaves the same as virDomainOpenConsole, except on channels
instead of console/serial/parallel devices.
Add an API for sending signals to arbitrary processes in the
guest OS. This is primarily useful for container based virt,
but can be used for machine virt too, if there is a suitable
guest agent,

This will call FITRIM within guest. The API has 4 arguments,
however, only 2 will be used for now (@dom and @minumum).
The rest two are there if in future qemu guest agent learns them.
Adding a new API to obtain information about the
host node's present, online and offline CPUs.
int virNodeGetCPUMap(virConnectPtr conn,
unsigned char **cpumap,
unsigned int *online,
unsigned int flags);
The function will return the number of CPUs present on the host
or -1 on failure;
If cpumap is non-NULL virNodeGetCPUMap will allocate an array
containing a bit map representation of the online CPUs. It's
the callers responsibility to deallocate cpumap using free().
If online is non-NULL, the variable pointed to will contain
the number of online host node CPUs.
The variable flags has been added to support future extensions
and must be set to 0.
Extend the driver structure by nodeGetCPUMap entry in support of the
new API virNodeGetCPUMap.

This patch adds a new public API virNetworkUpdate that will permit

network be destroyed/restarted for the changes to take effect.
A block commit moves data in the opposite direction of block pull.
Block pull reduces the chain length by dropping backing files after
data has been pulled into the top overlay, and is always safe; block
commit reduces the chain length by dropping overlays after data has
been committed into the backing file, and any files that depended
on base but not on top are invalidated at any point where they have
unallocated data that is now pointing to changed contents in base.
Both directions are useful, however: a qcow2 layer that is more than
50% allocated will typically be faster with a pull operation, while
a qcow2 layer with less than 50% allocation will be faster as a
commit operation. Committing across multiple layers can be more
efficient than repeatedly committing one layer at a time, but
requires extra support from the hypervisor.
This API matches Jeff Cody's proposed qemu command 'block-commit':
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02226.html
Jeff's command is still in the works for qemu 1.3, and may gain
further enhancements, such as the ability to control on-error
handling (it will be comparable to the error handling Paolo is
adding to 'drive-mirror', so a similar solution will be needed
when I finally propose virDomainBlockCopy with more functionality
than the basics supported by virDomainBlockRebase). However, even
without qemu support, this API will be useful for _offline_ block
commits, by wrapping qemu-img calls and turning them into a block
job, so this API is worth committing now.
For some examples of how this will be implemented, all starting
with the chain: base <- snap1 <- snap2 <- active
+ These are equivalent:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "active", 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", "active", 0, 0)
but cannot be implemented for online qemu with round 1 of
Jeff's patches; and for offline images, it would require
three back-to-back qemu-img invocations unless qemu-img
is patched to allow more efficient multi-layer commits;
the end result would be 'base' as the active disk with
contents from all three other files, where 'snap1' and
'snap2' are invalid right away, and 'active' is invalid
once any further changes to 'base' are made.
+ These are equivalent:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, 0)
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, _SHALLOW)
they cannot be implemented for online qemu, but for offline,
it is a matter of 'qemu-img commit active', so that 'snap2'
is now the active disk with contents formerly in 'active'.
+ Similarly:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, _DELETE)
for an offline domain will merge 'active' into 'snap2', then
delete 'active' to avoid leaving a potentially invalid file
around.
+ This version:
virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "snap2", 0, _SHALLOW)
can be implemented online with 'block-commit' passing a base of
snap1 and a top of snap2; and can be implemented offline by
'qemu-img commit snap2' followed by 'qemu-img rebase -u
-b snap1 active'

There was an inherent race between virDomainSnapshotNum() and
virDomainSnapshotListNames(), where an additional snapshot could
be created in the meantime, or where a snapshot could be deleted
before converting the name back to a virDomainSnapshotPtr. It
was also an awkward name: the function operates on domains, not
domain snapshots. virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames() suffered
from the same inherent race, although its naming was nicer.
This patch makes things nicer by grabbing a snapshot list
atomically, in the format most useful to the user.

This patch adds a new public api that lists domains. The new approach is
different from those used before. There are key points to this:
1) The list is acquired atomically and contains both active and inactive
domains (guests). This eliminates the need to call two different list
APIs, where the state might change in between the calls.
2) The returned list consists of virDomainPtrs instead of names or ID's
that have to be converted to virDomainPtrs anyways using separate calls
for each one of them. This is more convenient and saves hypervisor calls.
3) The returned list is auto-allocated. This saves a lot of hassle for
the users.
4) Built in support for filtering. The API call supports various
filtering flags that modify the output list according to user needs.
Available filter groups:
Domain status:
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_INACTIVE
Domain persistence:
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PERSISTENT,
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_TRANSIENT
Domain state:
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_RUNNING, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PAUSED,
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_SHUTOFF, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_OTHER
Existence of managed save image:
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_MANAGEDSAVE,
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_MANAGEDSAVE
Auto-start option:
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_AUTOSTART,
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_AUTOSTART
Existence of snapshot:
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_HAS_SNAPSHOT,
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_SNAPSHOT
5) The python binding returns a list of domain objects that is very neat
to work with.
The only problem with this approach is no support from code generators
so both RPC code and python bindings had to be written manually.
*include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: - add API prototype
- clean up whitespace mistakes nearby
*python/generator.py: - inhibit generation of the bindings for the new
api

*src/libvirt.c: - add public implementation
*src/libvirt_public.syms: - export the new symbol
Right now, starting from just a virDomainSnapshotPtr, and wanting to
know if it is the current snapshot for its respective domain, you have
to use virDomainSnapshotGetDomain(), then virDomainSnapshotCurrent(),
then compare the two names returned by virDomainSnapshotGetName().
It is a bit easier if we can directly query this information from the
snapshot itself.
Right now, it is possible to filter a snapshot listing based on
whether snapshots have metadata that would prevent domain deletion,
but the only way to learn if an individual snapshot has metadata is
to see if that snapshot appears in the list returned by a listing.
Additionally, I hope to expand the qemu driver in a future patch to
use qemu-img to reconstruct snapshot XML corresponding to internal
qcow2 snapshot names not otherwise tracked by libvirt (in part, so
that libvirt can guarantee that new snapshots are not created with
a name that would silently corrupt the existing portion of the qcow2
file); if I ever get that in, then it would no longer be an all-or-none
decision on whether snapshots have metadata, and becomes all the more
important to be able to directly determine that information from a
particular snapshot.
Other query functions (such as virDomainIsActive) do not have a flags
argument, but since virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot takes a flags argument,
I figured it was safer to provide a flags argument here as well.

virDomainSnapshotPtr has a refcount member, but no one was able
to use it. Furthermore, all of our other vir*Ptr objects have
a *Ref method to match their *Free method. Thankfully, this is
client-side only, so we can use this new function regardless of
how old the server side is! (I have future patches to virsh
that want to use it.)

Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase. That is, given:
base <- intermediate <- current
virDomainBlockPull will produce:
current
but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:
base <- current
Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags. But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:
Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.
Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.

Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been

VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Although these two APIs currently have the same flags, using
separate enums allows them to expand separately in the future.

The new API is named as "virDomainBlockResize", intending to add
support for qemu monitor command "block_resize" (both HMP and QMP).
Similar with APIs like "virDomainSetMemoryFlags", the units for
argument "size" is kilobytes.
This API can be used to check if the socket associated with
virConnectPtr is still open or it was closed (probably because keepalive
protocol timed out). If there the connection is local (i.e., no socket
is associated with the connection, it is trivially always alive.
virConnectSetKeepAlive public API can be used by a client connecting to
remote server to start using keepalive protocol. The API is handled
directly by remote driver and not transmitted over the wire to the
server.
The virDomainOpenGraphics API allows a libvirt client to pass in
a file descriptor for an open socket pair, and get it connected
to the graphics display of the guest. This is limited to working
