The sub-elements of <ip> had been placed at the same level of
indentation as ip itself, implying that they were really elements of
<network>. Within that, sub-elements of ip/dhcp were also at that same
level. These have been double-indented.
At the same time, I realized that the documentation for the new <dns>
element had been placed right in the middle of the description of the
sub-elements of <ip>. I moved it up out of the way.
This commit introduces names definition for the DNS hosts file using
the following syntax:
<dns>
<host ip="192.168.1.1">
<name>alias1</name>
<name>alias2</name>
</host>
</dns>

This commit introduces the <dns> element and <txt> record for the
virtual DNS network. The DNS TXT record can be defined using following
syntax in the network XML file:
<dns>
<txt name="example" value="example value" />
</dns>
Also, the Relax-NG scheme has been altered to allow the texts without
spaces only for the name element and some nitpicks about memory
free'ing have been fixed by Laine so therefore I'm adding Laine to the
SOB clause ;-)

- extend XSLT to cope with union in structs

For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
From a security pov copy and paste between the guest and the client is not
always desirable. So we need to be able to enable/disable this. The best place
to do this from an administration pov is on the hypervisor, so the qemu cmdline
is getting a spice disable-copy-paste option, see bug 693645. Example qemu
invocation:
qemu -spice port=5932,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste

For backwards compatibility, if no <video> is set but there is a
<graphics> tag, then we add a default <video> according to the
guest type. Add docs to tell the user about this to not make
them confused. Especially if they remove the video (such as via
"virsh edit"), it will be surprised for them to see the video
element is still in domain XML.
Partial revert of commit c3c30d4de9.

Reported by Daniel P. Berrange.
A lock manager may operate in various modes. The direct mode of
operation is to obtain locks based on the resources associated
with devices in the XML. The indirect mode is where the app
creating the domain provides explicit leases for each resource
that needs to be locked. This XML extension allows for listing
resources in the XML
<devices>
...
<lease>
<lockspace>somearea</lockspace>
<key>thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog</key>
<target path='/some/lease/path' offset='23432'/>
</lease>
...
</devices>
The 'lockspace' is a unique identifier for the lockspace which
the lease is associated
The 'key' is a unique identifier for the resource associated
with the lease.
The 'target' is the file on disk where the leases are held.

I noticed this while building from libvirt.git on RHEL 5.6:
Generating internals/command.html.tmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `/internals': Permission denied
If I had been building as root instead, this pollutes /.
Older autoconf lacks $(builddir), but it is rigorously equal to '.'
in newer autoconf, so we could use '$(MKDIR_P) internals' instead.
However, since internals/command.html is part of the tarball, we
_already_ build it in $(srcdir), not $(builddir) during VPATH
builds, so the mkdir is wasted effort!
* docs/Makefile.am (internals/%.html.tmp): Drop unused mkdir.
This fixes this three warnings from the parser by allowing the parser
to ignore some macros in the same way as it can ignore functions.

This adds a streaming-video=filter|all|off attribute. It is used to change
the behavior of video stream detection in spice, the default is filter (the

Usage:

Migration just seems to go from bad to worse. We already had to
introduce a second migration protocol when adding the QEMU driver,
since the one from Xen was insufficiently flexible to cope with
passing the data the QEMU driver required.
It turns out that this protocol still has some flaws that we
need to address. The current sequence is
* Src: DumpXML
- Generate XML to pass to dst
* Dst: Prepare
- Get ready to accept incoming VM
- Generate optional cookie to pass to src
* Src: Perform
- Start migration and wait for send completion
- Kill off VM if successful, resume if failed
* Dst: Finish
- Wait for recv completion and check status
- Kill off VM if unsuccessful
The problems with this are:
- Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
add in other migration specific data. eg, we can't include
any VM lease data from lock manager plugins
- Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
emit any 'migration begin' event on the source, or have
any hook that runs right at the start of the process
- Since there is no final step on the source, if the Finish
method fails to receive all migration data & has to kill
the VM, then there's no way to resume the original VM
on the source
This patch attempts to introduce a version 3 that uses the
improved 5 step sequence
* Src: Begin
- Generate XML to pass to dst
- Generate optional cookie to pass to dst
* Dst: Prepare
- Get ready to accept incoming VM
- Generate optional cookie to pass to src
* Src: Perform
- Start migration and wait for send completion
- Generate optional cookie to pass to dst
* Dst: Finish
- Wait for recv completion and check status
- Kill off VM if failed, resume if success
- Generate optional cookie to pass to src
* Src: Confirm
- Kill off VM if success, resume if failed
The API is designed to allow both input and output cookies
in all methods where applicable. This lets us pass around
arbitrary extra driver specific data between src & dst during
migration. Combined with the extra 'Begin' method this lets
us pass lease information from source to dst at the start of
migration
Moving the killing of the source VM out of Perform and
into Confirm, means we can now recover if the dst host
can't successfully Finish receiving migration data.
The hvsupport.html.in file is forever out of date. By annotating
the driver struct tables in each driver with version information,
we can auto-generate the hvsupport.html.in file. Annotating the
drivers will be mandatory for new patches, ensuring hvsupport.html.in
is never out of date again.

We already have virAsprintf, so picking a similar name helps for
seeing a similar purpose. Furthermore, the prefix V before printf
generally implies 'va_list', even though this variant was '...', and
the old name got in the way of adding a new va_list version.

This patch adds support for the evaluation of TCP flags in nwfilters.
It adds documentation to the web page and extends the tests as well.
Also, the nwfilter schema is extended.
The following are some example for rules using the tcp flags:
<rule action='accept' direction='in'>
<tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL' dsptportstart='80'/>
</rule>
<rule action='drop' direction='in'>
<tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL'/>
</rule>
It was just pointed out that, although I added documentation for the
IPv6 additions to the network XML, I neglected to use those additions
in the examples. This patch adds an IPv6 address to each of the
examples except for the "default" network, since that is a faithful
reproduction of the default network config that's automatically
installed, which doesn't include any IPv6 address (for good reason -
because there is no such thing as IPv6 NAT, there is no one IPv6
address that would work for all installations).
Commit 78ba748ef1 claims to fix
documentation for swap_hard_limit virsh memtune option but it only fixes
documentation in formatdomain.html and libvirt.h. This patch completes
the task by fixing "virsh help memtune" output and memtune section of
virsh man page.
