85b2ae96df qemu: Enable configuration of HPT resizing for pSeries guests
Most of the time it's okay to leave this up to negotiation between
the guest and the host, but in some situations it can be useful to
manually decide the behavior, especially to enforce its availability.

74119a03f1 numa: describe siblings distances within cells
Add support for describing NUMA distances in a domain's <numa> <cell>
XML description.

Below is an example of a 4 node setup:

  <cpu>
    <numa>
      <cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='1' cpus='4-7' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='31'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='2' cpus='8-11' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      <cell id='3' cpus='12-15' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='10'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
    </numa>
  </cpu>

A <cell> defines a NUMA node. <distances> describes the NUMA distance
from the <cell> to the other NUMA nodes (the <sibling>s).  For example,
in above XML description, the distance between NUMA node0 <cell id='0'
...> and NUMA node2 <sibling id='2' ...> is 31.

Valid distance values are '10 <= value <= 255'.  A distance value of 10
represents the distance to the node itself.  A distance value of 20
represents the default value for remote nodes but other values are
possible depending on the physical topology of the system.

When distances are not fully described, any missing sibling distance
values will default to 10 for local nodes and 20 for remote nodes.

If distance is given for A -> B, then we default B -> A to the same
value instead of 20.

37537a7c64 conf: Add/Allow parsing the encryption in the disk source
Since the virStorageEncryptionPtr encryption; is a member of
 _virStorageSource it really should be allowed to be a subelement
of the disk <source> for various disk formats:

   Source{File|Dir|Block|Volume}
   SourceProtocol{RBD|ISCSI|NBD|Gluster|Simple|HTTP}

NB: Simple includes sheepdog, ftp, ftps, tftp

That way we can set up to allow the <encryption> element to be
formatted within the disk source, but we still need to be wary
from whence the element was read - see keep track and when it
comes to format the data, ensure it's written in the correct place.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<encryption> as a child of <disk> *and* an <encryption> as a child
of <source>.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a
RNG viewpoint things are fine.

8002d3cb1b conf: Add/Allow parsing the auth in the disk source
Since the virStorageAuthDefPtr auth; is a member of _virStorageSource
it really should be allowed to be a subelement of the disk <source>
for the RBD and iSCSI prototcols. That way we can set up to allow
the <auth> element to be formatted within the disk source.

Since we've allowed the <auth> to be a child of <disk>, we'll need
to keep track of how it was read so that when writing out we'll know
whether to format as child of <disk> or <source>. For the argv2xml
parsing, let's format under <source> as a preference. Do not allow
<auth> to be both a child of <disk> and <source>.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<auth> as a child of <disk> *and* an <auth> as a child of <source>.

Add tests to validate that if the <auth> was found in <source>, then
the resulting xml2xml and xml2arg works just fine.  The two new .args
file are exact copies of the non "-source" version of the file.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a
RNG viewpoint things are fine

Update the virstoragefile, virstoragetest, and args2xml file to show
the "preference" to place <auth> as a child of <source>.

5d7659027f docs,rng: Adjust storage pool name grammar checks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475250

It's possible to define and start a pool with a '.' in the
name; however, when trying to add a volume to a domain using
the storage pool source with a '.' in the storage pool name,
the domain RNG validation fails because RNG uses 'genericName'
which does not allow a '.' in the name.

Domain XML def parsing has a virXMLValidateAgainstSchema which
generates the error. The Storage Pool XML def parsing has no
call to virXMLValidateAgainstSchema. The only Storage Pool name
validation occurs in virStoragePoolDefParseXML to ensure the
name doesn't have a '/' in it and in storagePoolDefineXML to
call virXMLCheckIllegalChars using the same parameter "\n" as
qemuDomainDefineXMLFlags would check after the RNG check
could be succesful.

In order to resolve this, create a poolName definition in
storagecommon.rng that will mimic the domain name regex that
disallows a newline character, but add the "/" in the exclude
list. Then modify the pool and volume source name definitions
to key off that poolName.

The switchdev mode was introduced in kernel 4.8, the iproute2-devlink
command to retrieve the switchdev NIC feature with command example:

    devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0

This feature is needed for Openstack so we can do a scheduling decision
if the NIC is in Hardware Offload (switchdev) or regular SR-IOV (legacy) mode.
And select the appropriate hypervisors with the requested capability see [1].

Alter the example to remove the <auth> from:

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>

      <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
    </auth>
    <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.

The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally

This should be considered a configuration error since a vHBA
would not be created. In order to use the HBA as the backing the
following XML should be used:

  <adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_hostN'/>

So add a check prior to the checkParent call to validate that

099a5ef8f0 docs: Span cells if there's not doc text for enum val
When generating HTML documentation we put enum values into a
table so that we can display the value's name, numerical value
and description (if it has one). Now the last part is problem. If
the value doesn't have description the table row has just two
cells and if it has one the row counts three cells. This makes
HTML engines render the description into very little space - for
instance see:

  html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainMemoryStatTags

We can avoid this problem if we let the cell that corresponds to
numerical value span over two cells if there's no description.

6efdd94dbc apibuild.py: Handle enum comments properly
After f4cb85c6af we only have two options for placing enum
values descriptions. It's either:

    typedef enum {
        /* Some long description. Therefore it's placed before
         * the value. */
        VIR_ENUM_A_VAL = 1,
    } virEnumA;

or:

    typedef enum {
        VIR_ENUM_B_VAL = 1, /* Some short description */
    } virEnumB;

However, our apibuild.py script is not able to deal with the
former one. It messes up comments. To fix this couple of things
needs to be done:

a) DO NOT reset self.comment in parseEnumBlock(). This is a
result from our tokenizer. Upon calling token() if it finds a
comment block it stores it in self.comment and returns the next
token (which is not comment). Therefore, if we reset self.comment
we might lose the first comment in the enum block.

b) we need a variable to track if the current enum block uses
value descriptions before or after values. That is if it's type
virEnumA or virEnumB. Depending on that, it we're dealing with
virEnumA type and the current token is a comma ',' we can add the
value into the list as we already have everything needed:
comment, name and value.

e5a0579996 qemu: Enable NUMA node tag in pci-root for PPC64
This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.

PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.

For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.

So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.

The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory

not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the
attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where
the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g.

# cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom

78fc843c7b bhyve: add vga configuration for video driver
Add support for vgaconf driver configuration. In domain xml it looks like
this:

  <video>
    <driver vgaconf='io|on|off'>
    <model .../>
  </video>

It was added with bhyve gop video in mind to allow users control how the
video device is exposed to the guest, specifically, how VGA I/O is
handled.

One can refer to the bhyve manual page to get more detailed description
of the possible VGA configuration options:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bhyve&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current

The relevant part could be found using the 'vgaconf' keyword.

Also, add some tests for this new feature.

memory by a file inside the host. And in order to keep things
manageable the memory_backing_dir variable was introduced to

However, libvirt's policy is that directories are created on
domain startup if they don't exist. We've missed this one.

88ef73e13c nodedev: Introduce mdev capability for mediated devices
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.

The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
  <name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>

The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

ea4769a1b5 news: Make changes understandable for users
When reading release notes, patch summary is not always the best
description of what users can expect in new version.  I propose
changing it slightly so that it describes what exactly happens and
when.

However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news
file, that would be ridiculous and unreadable for users.  If the patch
subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all.  So that would be
the other way how to fix this.

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.

Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:

    <memory model='nvdimm'>
      <source>
        <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
    </memory>

So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

have the following interface configuration:

This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.

be36ea4b52 NEWS: Improve building pipeline
Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.

The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.

Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.

To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.

bb74a7ffeb conf: Add more fchost search fields for storage pool vHBA creation
Add new fields to the fchost structure to allow creation of a vHBA via

2b13361bc7 nodedev: Add the ability to create vHBA by parent wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349696

When creating a vHBA, the process is to feed XML to nodeDeviceCreateXML
that lists the <parent> scsi_hostX to use to create the vHBA. However,
between reboots, it's possible that the <parent> changes its scsi_hostX
to scsi_hostY and saved XML to perform the creation will either fail or
create a vHBA using the wrong parent.

So add the ability to provide "wwnn" and "wwpn" or "fabric_wwn" to
the <parent> instead of a name of the scsi_hostN that is the parent.
The allowed XML will thus be:

  <parent>scsi_host3</parent>  (current)

or

  <parent wwnn='$WWNN' wwpn='$WWPN'/>

or

  <parent fabric_wwn='$WWNN'/>

Using the wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn ensures the same 'scsi_hostN' is
selected between hardware reconfigs or host reboots. The fabric_wwn
Using the wwnn/wwpn pair will provide the most specific search option,
while fabric_wwn will at least ensure usage of the same SAN, but maybe
not the same scsi_hostN.

This patch will add the new fields to the nodedev.rng for input purposes
only since the input XML is essentially thrown away, no need to Format
the values since they'd already be printed as part of the scsi_host
data block.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByWWNs will take the parent "wwnn" and
"wwpn" in order to search the list of devices for matching capability
data fields wwnn and wwpn.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByFabricWWN will take the parent "fabric_wwn"
in order to search the list of devices for matching capability data field
fabric_wwn.

78661cb1f4 conf: Display <physical> in output of voldef
Although the virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo will update the
target.physical value, there is no way to provide that information
via the virStorageGetVolInfo API since it only returns the capacity
and allocation of a volume. So as described in commit id '0282ca45',
it should be possible to generate an output only <physical> value
for that purpose.

This patch generates the <physical> value in the volume XML output
for the sole purpose of being able to view/see the value to allow
someone to parse the XML in order to obtain the value.

5a26d1ce12 Point to the new libvirt-go bindings
The github.com/rgbkrk/libvirt-go bindings were the most complete
bindings historically, but their API coverage stops at 1.2.4,
with exception of a couple of newer APIs.

The new bindings at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-go.git;a=log
how have (almost[1]) 100% API coverage all the way to 2.5.0. They also
expose the APIs in a way that allows for much stronger go type
checking by the compiler, and expose typed parameters as explicit
structs. Finally the bindings are able to conditionally compile against
any libvirt version 1.2.0 -> 2.5.0 without use of go build tags.

Change the docs to point to these new bindings, since they'll be
a better bet for users long term.

[1] virEvent & virStream callbacks are still TODO to be fixed
    real soon.

Seems commit id '0257d06b' forgot to include formatstorage when updating
the docs to describe allowing zfs as a pool type and to furthermore note
that the pool's target path element will be generated rather than read.

Similarly commit id 'efab27afb' neglected to indicate that the target path
for a logical pool will now be generated by libvirt.

22f7ceb695 nss: Introduce libvirt-guest module
So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by
guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is
not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed
(with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some
(older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP
transactions at all.
In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain
name as seen by libvirt too so that users can:

  # virsh start $dom && ssh $dom

In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced,
while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that
is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

ae5d30a0b3 conf: Wire up the vhost-scsi connection from/to XML
With the QEMU components in place, provide the XML parsing to
invoke that code when given the following XML snippet:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
      <source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.501234567890abcd'/>
    </hostdev>

An optional address element can be specified within the hostdev
(pick CCW or PCI as necessary):

    <address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x0625'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>

Add basic vhost-scsi tests which were cloned from hostdev-scsi-virtio-scsi
in both xml2argv and xml2xml. Added ones for both vhost-scsi-ccw and
vhost-scsi-pci since the syntaxes are slightly different between them.

Also adjusted the docs to describe the changes.

a46aa8852f docs: correct version requirements for <kvm><hidden='on'/></kvm>
When support was added for the kvm hidden='on' attribute in commit
d07116, the version requirement was listed as "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)". However, this was added when libvirt was at version 1.2.8 - it
is *QEMU* that must be at version 2.1.0 or later.

This went unnoticed for a very long time (over 2 years). Then a week
or two ago a new Windows convert in the #virt channel on OFTC was told
he needed to use this feature (to prevent nvidia drivers in a guest
from refusing to work due to being run in a virtual machine). There
was some problem with it being recognized and "someone" (it may have
been me, or may have been someone else, I don't remember) pointed out
that the documentation at

  http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html

says that it requires libvirt 2.1.0. The next several days were filled
with agony as a new convert to Linux first tried to upgrade a Linux
Mint host running their "LTS" version to something newer, then tried
to install a libvirt build built for Ubuntu onto this, and later back
to the old LTS Linux Mint. After this he tried building his own
libvirt from source (with all the expected problems), and finally
switched to Fedora. In the end it was hours and hours of everybody's
lives that they will never get back. To now learn that he didn't need
to do this (his original libvirt version was 1.3.3, so whatever his
problem was, it was elsewhere) makes the pain all that much worse.

To prevent this from happening again, this simple patch changes the
version requirement for the kvm hidden attribute from "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)" to "1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1.0)".

9eb9106ea5 qemu: command: Add support for sparse vcpu topologies
Add support for using the new approach to hotplug vcpus using device_add
during startup of qemu to allow sparse vcpu topologies.

There are a few limitations imposed by qemu on the supported
configuration:
- vcpu0 needs to be always present and not hotpluggable
- non-hotpluggable cpus need to be ordered at the beginning
- order of the vcpus needs to be unique for every single hotpluggable
  entity

Qemu also doesn't really allow to query the information necessary to
start a VM with the vcpus directly on the commandline. Fortunately they
can be hotplugged during startup.

The new hotplug code uses the following approach:
- non-hotpluggable vcpus are counted and put to the -smp option
- qemu is started
- qemu is queried for the necessary information
- the configuration is checked
- the hotpluggable vcpus are hotplugged
- vcpus are started

This patch adds a lot of checking code and enables the support to
specify the individual vcpu element with qemu.

5847bc5c64 conf: Add XML for individual vCPU hotplug
Individual vCPU hotplug requires us to track the state of any vCPU. To
allow this add the following XML:

<domain>
  ...
  <vcpu current='2'>3</vcpu>
  <vcpus>
    <vcpu id='0' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no' order='1'/>
    <vcpu id='1' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='yes' order='2'/>
    <vcpu id='1' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/>
  </vcpus>
  ...

0b6336c2d9 network: allow limiting a <forwarder> element to certain domains
For some unknown reason the original implementation of the <forwarder>
element only took advantage of part of the functionality in the
dnsmasq feature it exposes - it allowed specifying the ip address of a
DNS server which *all* DNS requests would be forwarded to, like this:

   <forwarder addr='192.168.123.25'/>

This is a frontend for dnsmasq's "server" option, which also allows
you to specify a domain that must be matched in order for a request to
be forwarded to a particular server. This patch adds support for
specifying the domain. For example:

   <forwarder domain='example.com' addr='192.168.1.1'/>
   <forwarder domain='www.example.com'/>
   <forwarder domain='travesty.org' addr='10.0.0.1'/>

would forward requests for bob.example.com, ftp.example.com and
joe.corp.example.com all to the DNS server at 192.168.1.1, but would
forward requests for travesty.org and www.travesty.org to
10.0.0.1. And due to the second line, requests for www.example.com,
and odd.www.example.com would be resolved by the libvirt network's own
DNS server (i.e. thery wouldn't be immediately forwarded) even though
they also match 'example.com' - the match is given to the entry with
the longest matching domain. DNS requests not matching any of the
entries would be resolved by the libvirt network's own DNS server.

9065cfaa88 network: allow disabling dnsmasq's DNS server
If you define a libvirt virtual network with one or more IP addresses,
it starts up an instance of dnsmasq. It's always been possible to
avoid dnsmasq's dhcp server (simply don't include a <dhcp> element),
but until now it wasn't possible to avoid having the DNS server
listening; even if the network has no <dns> element, it is started
using default settings.

This patch adds a new attribute to <dns>: enable='yes|no'. For
backward compatibility, it defaults to 'yes', but if you don't want a
DNS server created for the network, you can simply add:

   <dns enable='no'/>

to the network configuration, and next time the network is started
there will be no dns server created (if there is dhcp configuration,
dnsmasq will be started with "port=0" which disables the DNS server;
if there is no dhcp configuration, dnsmasq won't be started at all).

c4b92f1a8a schema: Don't validate paths
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353296

On UNIX like systems there are no constraints on what characters
can be in file/dir names (except for NULL, obviously). Moreover,
some values that we think of as paths (e.g. disk source) are not
necessarily paths at all. For instance, some hypervisors take
that as an arbitrary identifier and corresponding file is then
looked up by hypervisor in its table. Instead of trying to fix
our regular expressions (and forgetting to include yet another
character there), lets drop the validation completely.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1356937

Add the definitions to allow for viewing/setting cgroup period and quota
limits for IOThreads.

This is similar to the work done for emulator quota and period by
commit ids 'b65dafa' and 'e051c482'.

Being able to view/set the IOThread specific values is related to more
recent changes adding global period (commmit id '4d92d58f') and global
quota (commit id '55ecdae') definitions and qemu support (commit id
'4e17ff79' and 'fbcbd1b2'). With a global setting though, if somehow
the IOThread value in the cgroup hierarchy was set "outside of libvirt"
to a value that is incompatible with the global value.

Allowing control over IOThread specific values provides the capability
to alter the IOThread values as necessary.

a48c714115 storage: remove "luks" storage volume type
The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.

This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)

IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.

IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML

  <volume>
    <name>demo.raw</name>
    <capacity>5368709120</capacity>
    <target>
      <format type='raw'/>
      <encryption format='luks'>
        <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
      </encryption>
    </target>
  </volume>

and when configuring a guest disk we should use

  <disk type='file' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
    <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
    <encryption format='luks'>
      <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
    </encryption>
  </disk>

This commit thus removes the "luks" storage volume type added
in

  Author: John Ferlan <jferlan@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Jun 21 12:59:54 2016 -0400

    util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo

The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.

The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.

The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format.  I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

6dc1f10347 hvsupport: construct the group regex upfront
The %groups hash contains all the driver types (e.g.
virHypervisorDriver or virSecretDriver).

When searching for all the APIs that are implemented by a driver
of that specific driver type, we keep iterating over the %groups
hash on every line we look at, then matching against the driver type.

This is inefficient because it prevents perl from caching the regex
and it executes the regex once for every driver type, even though
one regex matching excludes all the others, since all the driver types
are different.

Construct the regex containing all the driver types upfront to save
about 6.4s (~98%) of the script execution time.

Since the XML file is generated by another of our build scripts

just find the function name->file mapping by a regex upfront.

Also add a note about this next to the line that generates it
in apibuild.py and do not check if XML::XPath is installed in

98fa8f3ef6 conf: support host-side IP/route information in <interface>
This is place as a sub-element of <source>, where other aspects of the
host-side connection to the network device are located (network or
bridge name, udp listen port, etc). It's a bit odd that the interface
we're configuring with this info is itself named in <target dev='x'/>,
but that ship sailed long ago:

    <interface type='ethernet'>
      <mac address='00:16:3e:0f:ef:8a'/>
      <source>
        <ip address='192.168.122.12' family='ipv4'
            prefix='24' peer='192.168.122.1'/>
        <ip address='192.168.122.13' family='ipv4' prefix='24'/>
        <route family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0'
               gateway='192.168.122.1'/>
        <route family='ipv4' address='192.168.124.0' prefix='24'
               gateway='192.168.124.1'/>
      </source>
    </interface>

In practice, this will likely only be useful for type='ethernet', so
its presence in any other type of interface is currently forbidden in
the generic device Validate function (but it's been put into the
general population of virDomainNetDef rather than the
ethernet-specific union member so that 1) we can more easily add the
capability to other types if needed, and 2) we can retain the info
when set to an invalid interface type all the way through to
validation and report a proper error, rather than just ignoring it
(which is currently what happens for many other type-specific
settings).

(NB: The already-existing configuration of IP info for the guest-side
of interfaces is in subelements directly under <interface>, and the
name of the guest-side interface (when configurable) is in <guest
dev='x'/>).

Note that this element is used to set the IP information on the

47e88b33be util: Add 'usage' for encryption
In order to use more common code and set up for a future type, modify the
encryption secret to allow the "usage" attribute or the "uuid" attribute
to define the secret. The "usage" in the case of a volume secret would be
the path to the volume as dictated by the backwards compatibility brought
on by virStorageGenerateQcowEncryption where it set up the usage field as
the vol->target.path and didn't allow someone to provide it. This carries
into virSecretObjListFindByUsageLocked which takes the secret usage attribute
value from from the domain disk definition and compares it against the
usage type from the secret definition. Since none of the code dealing
with qcow/qcow2 encryption secrets uses usage for lookup, it's a mostly
cosmetic change. The real usage comes in a future path where the encryption
is expanded to be a luks volume and the secret will allow definition of
the usage field.

This code will make use of the virSecretLookup{Parse|Format}Secret common code.

name of the guest-side interface (when configurable) is in <guest

93135abf14 conf: allow setting peer address in <ip> element of <interface>
The peer attribute is used to set the property of the same name in the
interface IP info:

  <interface type='ethernet'>
    ...
    <ip family='ipv4' address='192.168.122.5'
        prefix='32' peer='192.168.122.6'/>
    ...
  </interface>

Note that this element is used to set the IP information on the
*guest* side interface, not the host side interface - that will be
supported in an upcoming patch.

(This is an updated *re*-commit of commit 690969af, which was
subsequently reverted in commit 1d14b13f).

9911562a22 conf: single object containing list of IP addresses, list of routes
There are currently two places in the domain where this combination is
used, and there is about to be another. This patch puts them together
for brevity and uniformity.

As with the newly-renamed virNetDevIPAddr and virNetDevIPRoute
objects, the new virNetDevIPInfo object will need to be accessed by a
utility function that calls low level Netlink functions (so we don't
want it to be in the conf directory) and will be called from multiple
hypervisor drivers (so it can't be in any hypervisor directory); the
most appropriate place is thus once again the util directory.

The parse and format functions are in conf/domain_conf.c because only
the domain XML (i.e. *not* the network XML) has this exact combination
of IP addresses plus routes. Note that virDomainNetIPInfoFormat() will
end up being the only caller to virDomainNetRoutesFormat() and
virDomainNetIPsFormat(), so it will just subsume those functions in a
later patch, but we can't do that until they are no longer called.

(It would have been nice to include the interface name within the
virNetDevIPInfo object (with a slight name change), but that can't
be done cleanly, because in each case the interface name is provided
in a different place in the XML relative to the routes and IP
addresses, so putting it in this object would actually make the code
more confused rather than simpler).

9658e70f7d conf/openvz: eliminate incorrect/undocumented use of <source dev='blah'/>
When support for <interface type='ethernet'> was added in commit
9a4b705f back in 2010, it erroneously looked at <source dev='blah'/>
for a user-specified guest-side interface name. This was never
documented though. (that attribute already existed at the time in the
data.ethernet union member of virDomainNetDef, but apparently had no
practical use - it was only used as a storage place for a NetDef's
bridge name during qemuDomainXMLToNative(), but even then that was
never used for anything).

When support for similar guest-side device naming was added to the lxc
driver several years later, it was put in a new subelement <guest
dev='blah'/>.

In the intervening years, since there was no validation that
ethernet.dev was NULL in the other drivers that didn't actually use
it, innocent souls who were adding other features assuming they needed
to account for non-NULL ethernet.dev when really they didn't, so
little bits of the usual pointless cargo-cult code showed up.

This patch not only switches the openvz driver to use the documented
<guest dev='blah'/> notation for naming the guest-side device (just in
case anyone is still using the openvz driver), and logs an error if
anyone tries to set <source dev='blah'/> for a type='ethernet'
interface, it also removes the cargo-cult uses of ethernet.dev and
<source dev='blah'/>, and eliminates if from the RNG and from
virDomainNetDef.

NB: I decided on this course of action after mentioning the
inconsistency here:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-May/msg02038.html

and getting encouragement do eliminate it in a later IRC discussion
with danpb.

df2fb9bfff conf: limit chassisNr, and busNr to a minimum value of 1, not 0
In the case of chassisNr (used to set chassis_nr of a pci-bridge
controller), 0 is reserved for / used by the pci[e]-root bus. In the
base of busNr, a value of 0 would mean that the root bus had no places
available to plug in new buses, including the pxb itself (the
documentation I wrote for pxb even noted the limit of busNr as 1.254).

NB: oddly, the "chassis" attribute, which is used for pcie-root-port
and pcie-switch-downstream-port *can* be set to 0, since it's the
combination of {chassis, slot} that needs to be unique, not chassis by
itself (and slot 0 of pcie-root is reserved, while pcie-*-port can use
*only* slot 0).

For backward compatibility we need to handle listen type 'socket' and 'socket'

have to match, if only one of them is provided we need to be able to parse that

need to generate migratable XML without the listen element and use only 'socket'

38df47c9af docs: Teach apibuild to deal with (1U << 31) too
The apibuild script is a terrifying beast that parses some source
files of ours and produces an XML representation of them. When it
comes to parsing enums we have in some header files, it tries to
be clever and detect a value that an enum member has (or if it is
an alias for a different member). Whilst doing that it has to
deal with values we give to the members in many formats. At some
places we just pass the value in decimal:

    VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL = 1,

in other places, we use the aliasing:

    VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ACTIVE = VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE,

and in other places bitwise shifts are used:

    VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS = 1 << 31, /* enforce requested stats */

The script tries to parse all of these resulting in the following
tokens: "1", "VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE", "1<<31"; Then, the
script tries to turn these into integers using python's eval()
function. This function succeeds on the first and the last
tokens. But, if we were to modify the last example so that it's
of the following form:

    VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS = 1U << 31, /* enforce requested stats */

the token representing enum's member value will then be "1U<<31".
So our parsing is good. Unfortunately, python is not aware of the
difference between signed and unsigned C types, therefore eval()
fails over this token and the parser falls back thinking it's an
alias to another enum member. Well it's not.

The solution is to transform [0-9]U into [0-9] as for our
purposes here it's the same thing.

4d100c7a41 conf: permit auto-assignment of controller indexes
Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.

The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.

With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:

  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  ...

These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.

8f578716c7 conf: allow type='pci' addresses with no address attributes specified
Prior to this, <address type='pci'/> wasn't allowed when parsing
(domain+bus+slot+function needed to be a "valid" PCI address, meaning
that at least one of domain/bus/slot had to be non-0), the RNG
required bus to be specified, and if type was set to PCI when
formatting, domain+bus+slot+function would always be output.

This makes all the address attributes optional during parse and RNG
validation, and suppresses domain+bus+slot+function if domain+bus+slot
are all 0 (NB: if d+b+s are all 0, any value for function is
nonsensical as that will never happen in the real world, and after
the next patch we will always assign a real working address to any
empty PCI address before it is ever output to anywhere).

Note that explicitly setting all attributes to 0 is equivalent to
setting none of them, which is okay, since 0000:00:00 is reserved in
any PCI bus setup, and can't be used anyway.

e7bde8d319 storage: Fix algorithm generating path names for devmapper
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265694

Commit id '020135dc' didn't quite get the algorithm correct when a
device mapper source ended with a non numeric value (e.g. ends with
an alphabet value).

This patch modifies the 'part_separator' logic to add the "p" separator
to the attempted target path name only when specified as part_separator='yes'.

For a source name that already ends with a number, the logic doesn't change
as the part separator would need to be there.

For a source name that ends with something other than a number, this allows
the possibility that a "p" separator can be added. The default for one of
these source devices is to not add the separator.

The key for device mapper and the need for a partition separator "p" is
the presence of a number in the last character of the device name link
in /dev/mapper.  A name such as "/dev/mapper/mpatha1" would generate
a "/dev/mapper/mpatha1p1" partition, while "/dev/mapper/mpatha" would
generate partition "/dev/mapper/mpatha1". Similarly for a device
mapper entry not using friendly names or an alias, a device such as
"/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93" would generate a
paritition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93p1", while
a device such as "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f" would
generate a partition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f1".
The long number is the WWID of the device. It's also possible to assign
an alias for a device mapper entry, that alias follows the same rules
with respect to ending with a number or not when adding a "p" to create
the target device path.

75db9997a0 util: set vlan tag for macvtap passthrough mode on SRIOV VFs
SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the

the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.

This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.

1d14b13f3b Revert "libvirt domain xml allow to set peer address"
This reverts commit 690969af9c, which
added the domain config parts to support a "peer" attribute in domain
interface <ip> elements.

It's being removed temporarily for the release of libvirt 1.3.4
because the feature doesn't work, and there are concerns that it may
need to be modified in an externally visible manner which could create
backward compatibility problems.

67f2b72723 conf: Drop restrictions on rng backend path
Currently we only allow /dev/random and /dev/hwrng as host input
for <rng><backend model='random'/> device. This was added after
various upstream discussions in commit 4932ef45

However this restriction has generated quite a few complaints over
the years, so a new discussion was initiated:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg00987.html

Several people suggested removing the restriction, and nobody really
spoke up to defend it. So this patch drops the path restriction
entirely

IGMP is used on IPv4 networks tp setup multicast group memberships. On

bc07251f59 conf: new pci controller model pcie-expander-bus
This controller provides a single PCIe port on a new root. It is
similar to pci-expander-bus, intended to provide a bus that can be
associated with a guest-identifiable NUMA node, but is for
machinetypes with PCIe rather than PCI (e.g. q35-based machinetypes).

Aside from PCIe vs. PCI, the other main difference is that a
pci-expander-bus has a companion pci-bridge that is automatically
attached along with it, but pcie-expander-bus has only a single port,
and that port will only connect to a pcie-root-port, or to a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. In order for the bus to be of any use in
the guest, it must have either a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-upstream-port attached (and one or more
pcie-switch-downstream-ports attached to the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).

52f3d0a4d2 conf: new pci controller model pci-expander-bus
This is a standard PCI root bus (not a bridge) that can be added to a
440fx-based domain. Although it uses a PCI slot, this is *not* how it
is connected into the PCI bus hierarchy, but is only used for
control. Each pci-expander-bus provides 32 slots (0-31) that can
accept hotplug of standard PCI devices.

The usefulness of pci-expander-bus relative to a pci-bridge is that
the NUMA node of the bus can be specified with the <node> subelement
of <target>. This gives guest-side visibility to the NUMA node of
attached devices (presuming that management apps only assign a device
to a bus that has a NUMA node number matching the node number of the
device on the host).

Each pci-expander-bus also has a "busNr" attribute. The expander-bus
itself will take the busNr specified, and all buses that are connected
to this bus (including the pci-bridge that is automatically added to
any expander bus of model "pxb" (see the next commit)) will use
busNr+1, busNr+2, etc, and the pci-root (or the expander-bus with next
lower busNr) will use bus numbers lower than busNr.

5863b6e0c1 schema: allow pci address attributes to be in decimal
This is especially useful for "bus", since the bus of a device's pci
address is matched to the "index" of a controller to determine which
bus it will be connected to, and "index" is always specified in
decimal - being able to specify both in decimal at least makes it
easier to assure a device is being assigned to the correct bus when it
is added. For the other attributes, it is just a convenience.

(MB: the parser already allows for any of these attributes to be given
in decimal, and there are even examples floating around on the
internet that give them in decimal rather than hex (written in the
days before virsh did schema validation on all XML). This only updates
the schema to match the parser.)

f97a03e70c schema: rename uint8range/uint24range to uint8/uint24
nwfilter.rng defines uint16range and uint32range, but in a different
manner (it also allows a variable name as the value, rather than just
a decimal or hex number). I wanted to add uint16range to
basictypes.rng, but my desired definition was parallel to those for
uint8range and uint24range which are defined in basictypes.rng - they
*don't* allow a variable name for the value.

The simplest path to make everyone happy is to make the "plain"
versions in basictypes.rng have simpler names - "uint8", "uint16", and
"uint24". This patch renames uint8range and uint24range to uint8 and
uint24, while the next patch will add uint16.

51156bcff3 schema: make pci slot and function optional
The pcie-switch-downstream-port and pcie-root-port controllers have
only a single slot, numbered 0, and the greate majority of all guest
PCI devices are plugged into function 0 of whatever slot they're
using. The parser makes these optional, setting them to 0 when not
specified, and it's logical for the schema to also make them optional.

- When Hyper-V "vpindex" is on, guest can use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX
to get virtual processor ID.

- Hyper-V "runtime" enlightement feature allows to use MSR
HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME to get the time the virtual processor consumes
running guest code, as well as the time the hypervisor spends running
code on behalf of that guest.

- Hyper-V "synic" stands for Synthetic Interrupt Controller, which is
lapic extension controlled via MSRs.

- Hyper-V "stimer" switches on Hyper-V SynIC timers MSR's support.
Guest can setup and use fired by host events (SynIC interrupt and
appropriate timer expiration message) as guest clock events

- Hyper-V "reset" allows guest to reset VM.

- Hyper-V "vendor_id" exposes hypervisor vendor id to guest.

Most hypervisors use Hardware Assisted Paging by default and don't
require specifying the feature in domain conf. But some hypervisors
support disabling HAP on a per-domain basis. To enable HAP by default
yet provide a knob to disable it, extend the <hap> feature with a
'state=on|off' attribute, similar to <pvspinlock> and <vmport> features.

In the absence of <hap>, the hypervisor default (on) is used. <hap>
without the state attribute would be the same as <hap state='on'/> for
backwards compatibility. And of course <hap state='off'/> disables hap.

b4a5fd95f7 qemu: introduce vram64 attribute for QXL video device
This attribute is used to extend secondary PCI bar and expose it to the
guest as 64bit memory.  It works like this: attribute vram is there to
set size of secondary PCI bar and guest sees it as 32bit memory,
attribute vram64 can extend this secondary PCI bar.  If both attributes
are used, guest sees two memory bars, both address the same memory, with
the difference that the 32bit bar can address only the first part of the
whole memory.

7659bd9221 docs: fix generation of docs from VPATH build
When generating docs in a VPATH build we get a failure to

  Generating internals/locking.html.tmp
  /bin/sh: line 3: internals/locking.html.tmp: No such file or directory
  rm: cannot remove ‘internals/locking.html.tmp’: No such file or directory
  Makefile:2229: recipe for target 'internals/locking.html.tmp' failed
  make: *** [internals/locking.html.tmp] Error 1

For some reason, make has decided to run the target

  %.html.tmp: %.html.in site.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in $(acl_generated)

instead of the target

  internals/%.html.tmp: internals/%.html.in subsite.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in

Removing '$(acl_generated)' from the first target, inexplicably
causes make to now run the correct target for the internals/
files.

Rather than figure this out, lets just combine the two targets
into one.

6343018fac rbd: Do not append Ceph monitor port number 6789 if not provided
If no port number was provided for a storage pool libvirt defaults to
port 6789; however, librbd/librados already default to 6789 when no port
number is provided.

In the future Ceph will switch to a new port for the Ceph monitors since
port 6789 is already assigned to a different application by IANA.

Port 6789 is assigned to SMC-HTTPS and Ceph now has port 3300 assigned as
the 'Ceph monitor' port.

In this case it is the best solution to not hardcode any port number into
libvirt and let librados handle the connection.

Only if a user specifies a different port number we pass it down to librados,
otherwise we leave it blank.

79e7872530 docs: update to properly reflect meaning of fields in log filter
The documentation (and comment in libvirtd.conf) says that the text in
a log filter is compared to the "source file name", and gives the
example of "util/json", but this is not correct (at least not since
commit 2835c1e, possibly earlier). It is instead compared to the
string given in the VIR_LOG_INIT() macro invocation at the top of each
source file, which is always "similar to but not the same as" the
source file name (in the example above, the proper name is
"util.json", while the file name is "util/virjson.c"). This patch
corrects the misstatement in both the documentation and in
libvirtd.conf.

5c668a78d8 qemu: add udp interface support
Adds a new interface type using UDP sockets, this seems only applicable
to QEMU but have edited tree-wide to support the new interface type.

The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local
address), this then maps into the following xml and qemu call.

<interface type='udp'>
  <mac address='52:54:00:5c:67:56'/>
  <source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>
    <local address='127.0.0.1' port='22222'/>
  </source>
  <model type='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>

QEMU call:
	-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222

Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.

c27553b6e2 lxc: Inherit namespace feature
This patch adds feature for lxc containers to inherit namespaces.
This is very similar to what lxc-tools or docker provides.  Look
for "man lxc-start" and you will find that you can pass command
args as [ --share-[net|ipc|uts] name|pid ]. Or check out docker
networking option in which you can give --net=container:NAME_or_ID
as an option for sharing +namespace.

>From this patch you can add extra libvirt option to share
namespace in following way.

 <lxc:namespace>
   <lxc:sharenet type='netns' value='red'/>
   <lxc:shareipc type='pid' value='12345'/>
   <lxc:shareuts type='name' value='container1'/>
 </lxc:namespace>

The netns option is specific to sharenet. It can be used to
inherit from existing network namespace.

which is the reason for the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_PORT. A pcie-switch-upstream-port provides
32 ports (slot=0 to slot=31) on the downstream side, which can only
have pci controllers of model "pcie-switch-downstream-port" plugged
into them, which is the reason for the other new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_SWITCH.

dce3b8beb3 conf: new pci controller model "pcie-root-port"
This controller can be connected (at domain startup time only - not

libvirt config), hence the new connect type
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCIE_ROOT. It provides a hotpluggable port that
will accept any PCI or PCIe device.

New attributes must be added to the controller <target> subelement for
this - chassis and port are guest-visible option values that will be
set by libvirt with values derived from the controller's index and pci
address information.

8dc88aeed6 conf: add new <target> subelement with chassisNr attribute to <controller>
There are some configuration options to some types of pci controllers
that are currently automatically derived from other parts of the
controller's configuration. For example, in qemu a pci-bridge
controller has an option that is called "chassis_nr"; up until now
libvirt has always set chassis_nr to the index of the pci-bridge. So
this:

  <controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'/>

will always result in:

  -device pci-bridge,chassis_nr=2,...

on the qemu commandline. In the future we may decide there is a better
way to derive that option, but even in that case we will need for
existing domains to retain the same chassis_nr they were using in the
past - that is something that is visible to the guest so it is part of
the guest ABI and changing it would lead to problems for migrating
guests (or just guests with very picky OSes).

The <target> subelement has been added as a place to put the new
"chassisNr" attribute that will be filled in by libvirt when it
auto-generates the chassisNr; it will be saved in the config, then
reused any time the domain is started:

  <controller type='pci' model='pci-bridge' index='2'>
    <model type='pci-bridge'/>
    <target chassisNr='2'/>
  </controller>

The one oddity of all this is that if the controller configuration
is changed (for example to change the index or the pci address
where the controller is plugged in), the items in <target> will
*not* be re-generated, which might lead to conflict. I can't
really see any way around this, but fortunately if there is a
material conflict qemu will let us know and we will pass that on
to the user.

bf20251048 conf: add new <model> subelement with name attribute to <controller>
This new subelement is used in PCI controllers: the toplevel
*attribute* "model" of a controller denotes what kind of PCI
controller is being described, e.g. a "dmi-to-pci-bridge",
"pci-bridge", or "pci-root". But in the future there will be different
implementations of some of those types of PCI controllers, which
behave similarly from libvirt's point of view (and so should have the
same model), but use a different device in qemu (and present
themselves as a different piece of hardware in the guest). In an ideal
world we (i.e. "I") would have thought of that back when the pci
controllers were added, and used some sort of type/class/model
notation (where class was used in the way we are now using model, and
model was used for the actual manufacturer's model number of a
particular family of PCI controller), but that opportunity is long
past, so as an alternative, this patch allows selecting a particular
implementation of a pci controller with the "name" attribute of the
<model> subelement, e.g.:

  <controller type='pci' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge' index='1'>
    <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/>
  </controller>

In this case, "dmi-to-pci-bridge" is the kind of controller (one that
has a single PCIe port upstream, and 32 standard PCI ports downstream,
which are not hotpluggable), and the qemu device to be used to
implement this kind of controller is named "i82801b11-bridge".

Implementing the above now will allow us in the future to add a new
kind of dmi-to-pci-bridge that doesn't use qemu's i82801b11-bridge
device, but instead uses something else (which doesn't yet exist, but
qemu people have been discussing it), all without breaking existing
configs.

(note that for the existing "pci-bridge" type of PCI controller, both
the model attribute and <model> name are 'pci-bridge'. This is just a
coincidence, since it turns out that in this case the device name in
qemu really is a generic 'pci-bridge' rather than being the name of
some real-world chip)

Since the parse code no longer generates an address, we can remove

that were not already defined in the XML.

when a SCSI subsystem <hostdev> element is provided with an <address>.

1e15be1bbc qemu: always permit PCI devices to be manually assigned to a PCIe bus
When support for the pcie-root and dmi-to-pci-bridge buses on a Q35
machinetype was added, I was concerned that even though qemu at the
time allowed plugging a PCI device into a PCIe port, that it might not
be supported in the future. To prevent painful backtracking in the
possible future where this happened, I disallowed such connections
except in a few specific cases requested by qemu developers (indicated
in the code with the flag VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG).

Now that a couple years have passed, there is a clear message from
qemu that there is no danger in allowing PCI devices to be plugged
into PCIe ports. This patch eliminates
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG and changes the code to always
allow PCI->PCIe or PCIe->PCI connection *when the PCI address is
specified in the config. (For newly added devices that haven't yet
been given a PCI address, the auto-placement still prefers using the
correct type of bus).

c733e97323 docs: Fix XML schema handling of LUN address in hostdev tag
Defining a domain with a SCSI disk attached via a hostdev
tag and a source address unit value longer than two digits
causes an error when editing the domain with virsh edit,
even if no changes are made to the domain definition.
The error suggests invalid XML, somewhere:

  # virsh edit lmb_guest
  error: XML document failed to validate against schema:
  Unable to validate doc against /usr/local/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng
  Extra element devices in interleave
  Element domain failed to validate content

The virt-xml-validate tool fails with a similar error:

  # virt-xml-validate lmb_guest.xml
  Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
  lmb_guest.xml:17: element devices: Relax-NG validity error :
  Element domain failed to validate content
  lmb_guest.xml fails to validate

The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long.  Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits.  Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

  # lsscsi -xx
  [0:0:19:0x4022401100000000]  disk    IBM      2107900          3.44 /dev/sda

        </source>
      </hostdev>
  ...trimmed...

Since the reference unit and target fields are used in
several places in the XML schema, create a separate one
specific for SCSI Logical Units that will permit the
greater length.  This permits both the validation utility
and the virsh edit command to succeed when a hostdev
tag is included.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186969

When generating the path to the dir for a CIFS/Samba driver, the code
would generate a source path for the mount using "%s:%s" while the
mount.cifs expects to see "//%s/%s". So check for the cifsfs and
format the source path appropriately.

Additionally, since there is no means to authenticate, the mount
needs a "-o guest" on the command line in order to anonymously mount
the Samba directory.

38c9494878 storage: Fix the schema and add tests for cifs pool
Commit id '887dd362' added support for a netfs pool format type 'cifs'
and 'gluster' in order to add rng support for Samba and glusterfs netfs
pools. Originally, the CIFS type support was added as part of commit
id '61fb6979'. Eventually commit id 'b325be12' fixed the gluster rng
definition to match expectations.

As it turns out the CIFS rng needed a similar change since the directory
path is not an absDirPath, rather just a dirPath will be required.

When attaching a scsi volume lun via the attach-device --config or

like there was for the live path, thus the attempt to modify the config
would fail since not enough was known about the disk.

7c2d65dde2 storage: conf: Don't set any default <mode> in the XML
The XML parser sets a default <mode> if none is explicitly passed in.
This is then used at pool/vol creation time, and unconditionally reported

The problem with this approach is that it's impossible for other code
to determine if the user explicitly requested a storage mode. There
are some cases where we want to make this distinction, but we currently
can't.

Handle <mode> parsing like we handle <owner>/<group>: if no value is
passed in, set it to -1, and adjust the internal consumers to handle
it.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171984
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188463

Remove the check for the source host name for iSCSI source XML processing
declaring duplicate sources when the source device path and if present the
initiator of a proposed storage pool matches an existing storage pool.

The backend iSCSI storage driver uses 'iscsiadm --mode session' to query
available iscsid target sessions. The output displayed is the IP address
and the IQN (target path) of known targets. The displayed IP address
is a resolved address based on the session --login. Additionally, iscsid
keeps track of the various ways to define the host name (IPv4 Address,
IPv6 Address, /etc/hosts, etc.) for that IQN (see output of an 'iscsiadm
--mode node'). If an incoming IQN matches and the host name provided by
libvirt is resolved to the existing IQN, then iscsid will "reuse" the
session. Although libvirt could do the same name resolution, if there
is a difference, iscsid could still declare two seemingly different sources
to be the same and not create a new session which means libvirt now has
two storage pools looking at the same source. Thus to avoid any strange
host name resolution issues, just rely on iscsid for that and do not
allow multiple pools on the same host to use the same device path (IQN).

208abbcbd7 docs: add domain vmport feature
A new feature that can be turned on or off.

The QEMU machine vmport option allows to set the VMWare IO port
emulation. This emulation is useful for absolute pointer input when the
guest has vmware input drivers, and is enabled by default for kvm.

However it is unnecessary for Spice-enabled VM, since the agent already
handles absolute pointer and multi-monitors. Furthermore, it prevents
Spice from switching to relative input since the regular ps/2 pointer
driver is replaced by the vmware driver. It is thus advised to disable
vmport when using a Spice VM. This will permit the Spice client to
switch from absolute to relative pointer, as it may be required for
certain games or applications.

93383c1ffa conf: Add new domain XML element 'iothreadids'
Adding a new XML element 'iothreadids' in order to allow defining
specific IOThread ID's rather than relying on the algorithm to assign
IOThread ID's starting at 1 and incrementing to iothreads count.

This will allow future patches to be able to add new IOThreads by
a specific iothread_id and of course delete any exisiting IOThread.

Each iothreadids element will have 'n' <iothread> children elements
which will have attribute "id".  The "id" will allow for definition
of any "valid" (eg > 0) iothread_id value.

On input, if any <iothreadids> <iothread>'s are provided, they will
be marked so that we only print out what we read in.

On input, if no <iothreadids> are provided, the PostParse code will
self generate a list of ID's starting at 1 and going to the number
of iothreads defined for the domain (just like the current algorithm
numbering scheme).  A future patch will rework the existing algorithm
to make use of the iothreadids list.

On output, only print out the <iothreadids> if they were read in.

615bdfda07 rng: fix port number range validation
The PortNumber data type is declared to derive from 'short'.
Unfortunately this is an signed type, so validates the range
[-32,768, 32,767] which excludes valid port numbers between
32767 and 65535.

We can't use 'unsignedShort', since we need -1 to be a valid
port number too.

This change is to use 'int' and set an explicit max boundary
instead of relying on the data types' built-in max.

One of the existing tests is changed to use a high port number
to validate the schema.

060f4c666e doc: Fix doc for backingStore
I spent quite some time figuring that backingStore info
isn't included in the dom xml, unless guest is up and
running. Hopefully putting that in the doc should help.

Also, several people have complained that libvirt reports
a backing file as raw, even though they expected it to be
qcow2; where the culprit is usually the user forgetting to
create the file with qemu-img create -o backing_fmt=qcow2.

This patch adds that info to the doc.

a9fbe3b157 docs: schema and docs for the midonet virtualport type
Midonet is an opensource virtual networking that over lays the IP
network between hypervisors. Currently, such networks can be made
with the openvswitch virtualport type.

This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve
as basis for the follow up patches that will add support to libvirt
for using Midonet virtual ports for its interfaces. The schema
definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the
patch too.

ad69e8be4a conf: Use correct type for balloon stats period
We're parsing memballoon status period as unsigned int, but when we're
trying to set it, both we and qemu use signed int.  That means large
values will get wrapped around to negative one resulting in error.
Basically the same problem as commit e3a7b874 was dealing with when
updating live domain.

QEMU changed the accepted value to int64 in commit 1f9296b5, but even
values as INT_MAX don't make sense since the value passed means seconds.
Hence adding capability flag for this change isn't worth it.

4bca6192f2 conf: Make specifying <memory> optional
Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.

To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).

Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was
not interpreted correctly and caused failures. (Arguments for numad when
using automatic placement, size of the balloon). This fixes problems
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161461

Test case changes are added to verify that the schema change and code
behave correctly.

cf521fc8ba memtune: change the way how we store unlimited value
There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user.  Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED.  Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.

Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong.  The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.

bbd3eb5098 conf: Don't mangle vcpu placement randomly
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170492

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:

 <vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

gets translated into this one:

 <vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

5222256849 schemas: Allow all generic elements and attributes for all interfaces
There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.

Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

298fa4858c network: Let domains be restricted to local DNS
This adds a new "localOnly" attribute on the domain element of the

will only be resolved by libvirt's dnsmasq, never forwarded upstream.

This was how it worked before commit f69a6b987d, and I found that
functionality useful.  For example, I have my host's NetworkManager
dnsmasq configured to forward that domain to libvirt's dnsmasq, so I can
easily resolve guest names from outside.  But if libvirt's dnsmasq
doesn't know a name and forwards it to the host, I'd get an endless
forwarding loop.  Now I can set localOnly="yes" to prevent the loop.

40961978ee conf: new network bridge device attribute macTableManager
The macTableManager attribute of a network's bridge subelement tells
libvirt how the bridge's MAC address table (used to determine the
egress port for packets) is managed. In the default mode, "kernel",
management is left to the kernel, which usually determines entries in
part by turning on promiscuous mode on all ports of the bridge,
flooding packets to all ports when the correct destination is unknown,
and adding/removing entries to the fdb as it sees incoming traffic
from particular MAC addresses.  In "libvirt" mode, libvirt turns off
learning and flooding on all the bridge ports connected to guest
domain interfaces, and adds/removes entries according to the MAC
addresses in the domain interface configurations. A side effect of
turning off learning and unicast_flood on the ports of a bridge is
that (with Linux kernel 3.17 and newer), the kernel can automatically
turn off promiscuous mode on one or more of the bridge's ports
(usually only the one interface that is used to connect the bridge to
the physical network). The result is better performance (because
packets aren't being flooded to all ports, and can be dropped earlier
when they are of no interest) and slightly better security (a guest
can still send out packets with a spoofed source MAC address, but will
only receive traffic intended for the guest interface's configured MAC
address).

The attribute looks like this in the configuration:

  <network>
    <name>test</name>
    <bridge name='br0' macTableManager='libvirt'/>
    ...

This patch only adds the config knob, documentation, and test
cases. The functionality behind this knob is added in later patches.

b09ff13848 storage: Add mixed fc_host/scsi_host duplicate adapter source checks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159180

The virStoragePoolSourceFindDuplicate only checks the incoming definition
against the same type of pool as the def; however, for "scsi_host" and
"fc_host" adapter pools, it's possible that either some pool "scsi_host"
adapter definition is already using the scsi_hostN that the "fc_host"
adapter definition wants to use or some "fc_host" pool adapter definition
is using a vHBA scsi_hostN or parent scsi_hostN that an incoming "scsi_host"
definition is trying to use.

This patch adds the mismatched type checks and adds extraneous comments
to describe what each check is determining.

This patch also modifies the documentation to be describe what scsi_hostN
devices a "scsi_host" source adapter should use and which to avoid. It also
updates the parent definition to specifically call out that for mixed
environments it's better to define which parent to use so that the duplicate
pool checks can be done properly.

81ba2298b2 video: cleanup usage of vram attribute and update documentation
The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.

The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

401702d92e docs: Document NVRAM behavior on transient domains
Since 1.2.8 it's possible to use OVMF on domains. Moreover, it's
possible to have libvirt create NVRAM file per domain. Later,
when domain is undefined, the file is removed too. However,
things are a bit complicated when domain's transient. There's no
undefine to transient domains. There are two options: 1) leave
the file behind and let mgmt app remove it. 2) remove it
automatically as domain dies.
But, in some scenarios mgmt app may want to preserve the file,
copy it somewhere safe, and then copy it back when the domain is
starting again. And this wouldn't be possible with case 2). So,
even though case 1) leaves some files behind (possibly undeleted
for a long time), the files themselves are small (128K each). And
data loss is worse than full disk, isn't it?

5530f248db storage: Introduce 'managed' for the fchost parent
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160926

Introduce a 'managed' attribute to allow libvirt to decide whether to
delete a vHBA vport created via external means such as nodedev-create.
The code currently decides whether to delete the vHBA based solely on
whether the parent was provided at creation time. However, that may not
be the desired action, so rather than delete and force someone to create
another vHBA via an additional nodedev-create allow the configuration of
the storage pool to decide the desired action.

During createVport when libvirt does the VPORT_CREATE, set the managed
value to YES if not already set to indicate to the deleteVport code that
it should delete the vHBA when the pool is destroyed.

If libvirtd is restarted all the memory only state was lost, so for a
persistent storage pool, use the virStoragePoolSaveConfig in order to
write out the managed value.

Because we're now saving the current configuration, we need to be sure
to not save the parent in the output XML if it was undefined at start.
Saving the name would cause future starts to always use the same parent
which is not the expected result when not providing a parent. By not
providing a parent, libvirt is expected to find the best available
vHBA port for each subsequent (re)start.

At deleteVport, use the new managed value to decide whether to execute
the VPORT_DELETE.  Since we no longer save the parent in memory or in
XML when provided, if it was not provided, then we have to look it up.

42a021c120 storage: Ensure fc_host parent matches wwnn/wwpn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160565

The existing code assumed that the configuration of a 'parent' attribute
was correct for the createVport path. As it turns out, that may not be
the case which leads errors during the deleteVport path because the
wwnn/wwpn isn't associated with the parent.

With this change the following is reported:

error: Failed to start pool fc_pool_host3
error: XML error: Parent attribute 'scsi_host4' does not match parent 'scsi_host3' determined for the 'scsi_host16' wwnn/wwpn lookup.

for XML as follows:

  <pool type='scsi'>
    <name>fc_pool</name>
    <source>
      <adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host4' wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
    </source>

Where 'nodedev-dumpxml scsi_host16' provides:

  <device>
    <name>scsi_host16</name>
    <path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:10:00.0/host3/vport-3:0-11/host16</path>

chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists,
under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source).

Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is
a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload

07450cd429 conf: add trustGuestRxFilters attribute to network and domain interface
This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.

The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable
places of existing test files.

This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices.  This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.

In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:

- For shmem device using a server:

 <shmem name='shmem0'>
   <server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
   <size unit='M'>32</size>
   <msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
 </shmem>

- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:

 <shmem name='shmem1'>
   <size unit='M'>32</size>
 </shmem>

Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:

 <shmem name='shmem1/>
 <shmem name='shmem2'>
   <server/>
 </shmem>

742b08e30f qemu: Automatically create NVRAM store
When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.

Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

68bf13dbef conf: Extend <loader/> and introduce <nvram/>
Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.

Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files

The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

0257d06ba4 storage: ZFS support
Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.

Features supported:

 - pool-start, pool-stop
 - pool-info
 - vol-list
 - vol-create / vol-delete

Pool definition looks like that:

 <pool type='zfs'>
  <name>myzfspool</name>
  <source>
    <name>actualpoolname</name>
  </source>
 </pool>

The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.

User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.

A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:

    <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
      <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>

54ac483e68 hostdev: Add iSCSI hostdev XML
Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).

The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:

  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
    <source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
      <host name='example.org' port='3260'/>

      </auth>
    </source>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='2' unit='5'/>
  </hostdev>

The controller element will mimic the existing scsi_host code insomuch
as when 'lsi' and 'virtio-scsi' are used.

232a31bea3 blockcommit: track job type in xml
A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the
same way as block copy jobs, it is easiest to track all bookkeeping
for the commit job by reusing the <mirror> element.  This patch
adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>.  Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit).  It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

9a212d6708 blockcopy: add more XML for state tracking
Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment.  In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job.  Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.

A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion.  But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job.  Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job.  Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.

Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

a4bd62adc1 storage: Introduce parentaddr into virStoragePoolSourceAdapter
Between reboots and kernel reloads, the SCSI host number used for SCSI
storage pools may change requiring modification to the storage pool XML
in order to use a specific SCSI host adapter.

This patch introduces the "parentaddr" element and "unique_id" attribute
for the SCSI host adapter in order to uniquely identify the adapter
between reboots and kernel reloads. For now the goal is to only parse
and format the XML. Both will be required to be provided in order to
uniquely identify the desired SCSI host.

The new XML is expected to be as follows:

  <adapter type='scsi_host'>
    <parentaddr unique_id='3'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' func='0x2'/>
    </parentaddr>
  </adapter>

where "parentaddr" is the parent device of the SCSI host using the PCI
address on which the device resides and the value from the unique_id file
for the device. Both the PCI address and unique_id values will be used
to traverse the /sys/class/scsi_host/ directories looking at each link
to match the PCI address reformatted to the directory link format where
"domain🚌slot:function" is found.  Then for each matching directory
the unique_id file for the scsi_host will be used to match the unique_id
value in the xml.

For a PCI address listed above, this will be formatted to "0000:00:1f.2"
and the links in /sys/class/scsi_host will be used to find the host#
to be used for the 'scsi_host' device. Each entry is a link to the
/sys/bus/pci/devices directories, e.g.:

%  ls -al /sys/class/scsi_host/host2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun  1 00:22 /sys/class/scsi_host/host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host2/scsi_host/host2

% cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/unique_id
3

The "parentaddr" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parentaddr" element will be the preferred
mechanism.

This patch only supports to parse and format the XMLs. Later patches will
add code to find out the scsi host number.

a9fd30e633 storagevol: add nocow to vol xml
Add 'nocow' to storage volume xml so that user can have an option
to set NOCOW flag to the newly created volume. It's useful on btrfs
file system to enhance performance.

Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this
bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there
are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow,
then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.

This patch tries the second way, according to 'nocow' option, it could set
NOCOW flag per file:
for raw file images, handle 'nocow' in libvirt code; for non-raw file images,
pass 'nocow=on' option to qemu-img, and let qemu-img to handle that (requires
qemu-img version >= 2.1).

implement, rather there's general format function.

The domain capabilities is a lockable object (even though the locking
is not necessary yet) which uses reference counter.

058d89b9df Introduce virBufferCheckError
Check if the buffer is in error state and report an error if it is.

This replaces the pattern:
if (virBufferError(buf)) {
    virReportOOMError();
    goto cleanup;
}
with:

if (virBufferCheckError(buf) < 0)
    goto cleanup;

Document typical buffer usage to favor this.
Also remove the redundant FreeAndReset - if an error has
been set via virBufferSetError, the content is already freed.

9b291bbe20 docs: publish correct enum values
We publish libvirt-api.xml for others to use, and in fact, the
libvirt-python bindings use it to generate python constants that
correspond to our enum values.  However, we had an off-by-one bug
that any enum that relied on C's rules for implicit initialization
of the first enum member to 0 got listed in the xml as having a
value of 1 (and all later members of the enum were equally
botched).

The fix is simple - since we add one to the previous value when
encountering an enum without an initializer, the previous value
must start at -1 so that the first enum member is assigned 0.

The python generator code has had the off-by-one ever since DV
first wrote it years ago, but most of our public enums were immune
because they had an explicit = 0 initializer.  The only affected
enums are:
- virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType (such as
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4), since commit 987e31e
(libvirt v0.8.0)
- virDomainCoreDumpFormat (such as VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_FORMAT_RAW),
since commit 9fbaff0 (libvirt v1.2.3)
- virIPAddrType (such as VIR_IP_ADDR_TYPE_IPV4), since commit
03e0e79 (not yet released)

Thanks to Nehal J Wani for reporting the problem on IRC, and
for helping me zero in on the culprit function.

69db5f921a interface: report link state for bonds and vlans too
The interface state for bonds and vlans does seem to reflect the state

makes sense to allow reporting it (netcf now does).

The link state/speed for bridge devices is meaningless though, so we

b50e104923 blockjob: don't remove older-style mirror XML
Commit 7c6fc39 introduced a regression in the XML produced for older
clients.  The argument at the time was that clients shouldn't be
depending on output-only data for something that is only going to
be triggered for a transient guest; but John Ferlan reported that
the automated testsuite was such a client.  It's better to be safe
than sorry by guaranteeing back-compat cruft.  Note that later
patches will be using <mirror> for active block commit, but there
we don't have to worry about back-compat.

3db89662c2 virInterface: Expose link state & speed
Currently it is not possible to determine the speed of an interface
and whether a link is actually detected from the API. Orchestrating
platforms want to be able to determine when the link has failed and
where multiple speeds may be available which one the interface is
actually connected at. This commit introduces an extension to our
interface XML (without implementation to interface driver backends):

  <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'>
    <start mode='none'/>
    <mac address='aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'/>
    <link speed='1000' state='up'/>
    <mtu size='1492'/>
    ...
  </interface>

Where @speed is negotiated link speed in Mbits per second, and state
is the current NIC state (can be one of the following:  "unknown",
"notpresent", "down", "lowerlayerdown","testing", "dormant", "up").

7c6fc3948e conf: alter disk mirror xml output
Now that we track a disk mirror as a virStorageSource, we might
as well update the XML to theoretically allow any type of
mirroring destination (not just a local file).  A later patch
will also be reusing <mirror> to track the block commit of the
top layer of a chain, which is another case where libvirt needs
to update the backing chain after the job is finally pivoted,
and since backing chains can have network backing files as the
destination to commit into, it makes more sense to display that
in the XML.

This patch changes output-only XML; it was already documented
that <mirror> does not affect a domain definition at this point
(because qemu doesn't provide persistent bitmaps yet).  Any
application that was starting a block copy job with older libvirt
and then relying on the domain XML to determine if it was
complete will no longer be able to access the file= and format=
attributes of mirror that were previously used.  However, this is
not going to be a problem in practice: the only time a block copy
job works is on a transient domain, and any app that is managing
a transient domain probably already does enough of its own
bookkeeping to know which file it is mirroring into without
having to re-read it from the libvirt XML.  The one thing that
was likely to be used in a mirroring job was the ready=
attribute, which is unchanged.  Meanwhile, I made sure the schema
and parser still accept the old format, even if we no longer
output it, so that upgrading from an older version of libvirt is
seamless.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (diskMirror): Alter definition.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskDefParseXML): Parse two
styles of mirror elements.
(virDomainDiskDefFormat): Output new style.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-mirror-old.xml: New

* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-mirror.xml: ...here

1c70277886 nodedev: Export NUMA node locality for PCI devices
A PCI device can be associated with a specific NUMA node. Later, when
a guest is pinned to one NUMA node the PCI device can be assigned on
different NUMA node. This makes DMA transfers travel across nodes and
thus results in suboptimal performance. We should expose the NUMA node
locality for PCI devices so management applications can make better
decisions.

            <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
            <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='2'/>
          </cpus>
        </cell>
        <cell id='1'>
          <memory unit='KiB'>4030064</memory>
          <distances>
            <sibling id='0' value='20'/>
            <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          </distances>
          <cpus num='2'>
            <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='1'/>
            <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='3'/>
          </cpus>
        </cell>
      </cells>
    </topology>
    ...

We can see the distance from node1 to node0 is 20 and within nodes 10.

0f1a0fff0e apibuild: Disallow 'returns' return description
Our documentation generator is a bit messy, to say the least. For
instance, the description to return values of a function is
searched within C comment. Currently, all lines that start with
'returns' or 'Returns' are viewed as return value description.
However, there are some valid uses where the 'returns' word is in
the middle of a sentence describing function behavior not the
return value. And there are no places where 'returns' is used to
describe return values.  For instance:
virDomainDetachDeviceFlags, virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny and
virDomainGetDiskErrors. This leads to HTML documemtation being
generated incorrectly.

    </backingStore>
    <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

Various disk types and formats can be mixed in one chain. The
<backingStore/> empty element marks the end of the backing chain and it
is there mostly for future support of parsing the chain provided by a
user. If it's missing, we are supposed to probe for the rest of the
chain ourselves, otherwise complete chain was provided by the user. The
index attributes of backingStore elements can be used to unambiguously
identify a specific part of the image chain.

369cdfa8f5 conf: set up for per-grammar overrides in schemas
This patch is my first experience playing with nested grammars,
as documented in http://relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html#IDA3PZR.
I plan on doing more overrides in order to make the RelaxNG
grammar mirror the C code refactoring into a common
virStorageSource, but where different clients of that source do
not support the same subset of functionality.  By starting with
something fairly easy to validate, I can make sure my later
patches will be possible.

This patch adds a use of the no-op <ref
name='sourceStartupPolicy'/> to the disksnapshot definition, so
that the snapshot version of a type='file' <source> more closely
resembles the version in domaincommon.  A future patch will merge
the two files into using a common define, but this patch is
sufficient for testing that adding <source
startupPolicy='optional'/> in any of the
tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlin/*.xml files still gets rejected
unless it occurs within the <domain> subelement, because the
definition of startupPolicy is empty outside of domain.rng.

* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng (storageStartupPolicy)
(storageSourceExtra): Create no-op defaults.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng (domain): Use nested grammar
to avoid restricting <domain>.
(storageSourceExtra): Create new override.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (disk): Access overrides through
common names.

db7d7c0ee8 conf: restrict external snapshots to backing store formats
Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into
a storage format that permits a backing chain, since the new
snapshot file necessarily must be backed by the existing file.
The C code for the qemu driver is a little bit stricter in
currently enforcing only qcow2 or qed, but at the XML parser
level, including virt-xml-validate, it is fairly easy to
enforce that a user can't request a 'raw' external snapshot.

to update the <volume> and <domain> xml lists; the <volume>

a9efe2d70c conf: better <disk> interleaving in schema
In general, we try to make virt-xml-validate tolerant of input
elements in any order when possible.  However, as written, the
RNG grammar did not permit <source> unless there was an explicit
type= attribute (even though the C code manages just fine by
defaulting to type='file').  After making the attribute optional
on the 'file' branch, I noticed that the use of diskspec was now
redundant with the branch when no <source> was supplied.

View this patch with 'git diff -b' for a better picture of the
schema change.

0f6c50b9b6 gluster: Fix "key" attribute for gluster volumes
According to our documentation the "key" value has the following
meaning: "Providing an identifier for the volume which identifies a
single volume." The currently used keys for gluster volumes consist of
the gluster volume name and file path. This can't be considered unique
as a different storage server can serve a volume with the same name.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out a way to retrieve the gluster
volume UUID which would avoid the possibility of having two distinct
keys identifying a single volume.

Use the full URI as the key for the volume to avoid the more critical
ambiguity problem and document the possible change to UUID.

c0c8c1d7bb Remove global log buffer feature entirely
A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.

The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

b9dd878ff8 util: make it easier to grab only regular command exit
Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations.  Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit.  Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big.  And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.

So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

7eb37a0d65 bandwidth: Adjust documentation
Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').

The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.

Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.

This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.

590029f672 Introduce new OOM testing support
The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is  (n * (n + 1) ) / 2.  This gets very large, very
quickly.

This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.

The simple usage is

   $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
   ...
   29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc                                         ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france                                      ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
   ...

the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.

If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
  30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK

bbd392ff86 schema: Fix guest timer specification schema according to the docs
According to the documentation describing various tunables for domain
timers not all the fields are supported by all the driver types. Express
these in the RNG:

- rtc, platform: Only these support the "track" attribute.
- tsc: only one to support "frequency" and "mode" attributes
- hpet, pit: tickpolicy/catchup attribute/element
- kvmclock: no extra attributes are supported

Additionally the attributes of the <catchup> element for
tickpolicy='catchup' are optional according to the parsing code. Express
this in the XML and fix a spurious space added while formatting the
<catchup> element and add tests for it.

eafb53fec2 network: disallow <bandwidth>/<mac> for bridged/macvtap/hostdev networks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057321

pointed out that we weren't honoring the <bandwidth> element in
libvirt networks using <forward mode='bridge'/>. In fact, these
networks are just a method of giving a libvirt network name to an
existing Linux host bridge on the system, and libvirt doesn't have
enough information to know where to set such limits. We are working on
a method of supporting network bandwidths for some specific cases of
<forward mode='bridge'/>, but currently libvirt doesn't support it. So
the proper thing to do now is just log an error when someone tries to
put a <bandwidth> element in that type of network. (It's unclear if we
will be able to do proper bandwidth limiting for macvtap networks, and
most definitely we will not be able to support it for hostdev
networks).

While looking through the network XML documentation and comparing it
to the networkValidate function, I noticed that we also ignore the
presence of a mac address in the config in the same cases, rather than
failing so that the user will understand that their desired action has
not been taken.

This patch updates networkValidate() (which is called any time a
persistent network is defined, or a transient network created) to log
an error and fail if it finds either a <bandwidth> or <mac> element
and the network forward mode is anything except 'route'. 'nat', or
nothing. (Yes, neither of those elements is acceptable for any macvtap
mode, nor for a hostdev network).

NB: This does *not* cause failure to start any existing network that
contains one of those elements, so someone might have erroneously
defined such a network in the past, and that network will continue to
function unmodified. I considered it too disruptive to suddenly break
working configs on the next reboot after a libvirt upgrade.

fd243fc4ad qemu: Don't fail if the SCSI host device is shareable between domains
It doesn't make sense to fail if the SCSI host device is specified
as "shareable" explicitly between domains (NB, it works if and only
if the device is specified as "shareable" for *all* domains,
otherwise it fails).

To fix the problem, this patch introduces an array for virSCSIDevice
struct, which records all the names of domain which are using the
device (note that the recorded domains must specify the device as
shareable).  And the change on the data struct brings on many
subsequent changes in the code.

Prior to this patch, the "shareable" tag didn't work as expected,
it actually work like "non-shareable".  So this patch also added notes
in formatdomain.html to declare the fact.

* src/util/virscsi.h:
  - Remove virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy
  - Change definition of virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy and virSCSIDeviceListDel
  - Add virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable

* src/util/virscsi.c:
  - struct virSCSIDevice: Change "used_by" to be an array; Add
    "n_used_by" as the array count
  - virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy: Removed
  - virSCSIDeviceFree: frees the "used_by" array
  - virSCSIDeviceSetUsedBy: Copy the domain name to avoid potential
    memory corruption
  - virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable: New
  - virSCSIDeviceListDel: Change the logic, for device which is already
    in the list, just remove the corresponding entry in "used_by". And
    since it's only used in one place, we can safely removing the code
    to find out the dev in the list first.
  - Copyright updating

* src/libvirt_private.sys:
  - virSCSIDeviceGetUsedBy: Remove
  - virSCSIDeviceIsAvailable: New

* src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c:
  - qemuUpdateActiveScsiHostdevs: Check if the device existing before
    adding it to the list;
  - qemuPrepareHostdevSCSIDevices: Error out if the not all domains
    use the device as "shareable"; Also don't try to add the device
    to the activeScsiHostdevs list if it already there; And make
    more sensible error w.r.t the current "shareable" value in

ecd881b7a7 storage: add network-dir as new storage volume type
In the 'directory' and 'netfs' storage pools, a user can see
both 'file' and 'dir' storage volume types, to know when they
can descend into a subdirectory.  But in a network-based storage
pool, such as the upcoming 'gluster' pool, we use 'network'
instead of 'file', and did not have any counterpart for a
directory until this patch.  Adding a new volume type
'network-dir' is better than reusing 'dir', because it makes
it clear that the only way to access 'network' volumes within
that container is through the network mounting (leaving 'dir'
for something accessible in the local file system).

6cc4d6a3fe storage: use valid XML for awkward volume names
$ touch /var/lib/libvirt/images/'a<b>c'
$ virsh pool-refresh default
$ virsh vol-dumpxml 'a<b>c' default | head -n2
<volume>
  <name>a<b>c</name>

Oops.  That's not valid XML.  And when we fix the XML
generation, it fails RelaxNG validation.

I'm also tired of seeing <key>(null)</key> in the example
output for volume xml; while we used NULLSTR() to avoid
a NULL deref rather than relying on glibc's printf
extension behavior, it's even better if we avoid the issue
in the first place.  But this requires being careful that
we don't invalidate any storage backends that were relying
on key being unassigned during virStoragVolCreateXML[From].

I would have split this into two patches (one for escaping,
one for avoiding <key>(null)</key>), but since they both
end up touching a lot of the same test files, I ended up
merging it into one.

Note that this patch allows pretty much any volume name
that can appear in a directory (excluding . and .. because
those are special), but does nothing to change the current
(unenforced) RelaxNG claim that pool names will consist
only of letters, numbers, _, -, and +.  Tightening the C
code to match RelaxNG patterns and/or relaxing the grammar
to match the C code for pool names is a task for another

domain names to exclude a leading '.').

virt-xml-validate chokes on valid xml produced by 'virsh pool-dumpxml'
[yet another reason that ALL patches that add new xml should be adding

When using glusterfs FUSE mounts, you cannot access a subdirectory
of a gluster volume.  The recommended workaround in the gluster
community is to mount the volume to an intermediate location, then
bind-mount the desired subdirectory to the final location.  Maybe
we should teach libvirt to do bind-mounting, but for now I chose to
just document the limitation.

handling to avoid performance regressions on overcomitted hosts. This
feature needs to be turned in the hypervisor so that the guest OS is
notified about the possible support.

This patch adds a new feature "paravirt-spinlock" to the XML and
supporting code to enable the "kvm_pv_unhalt" pseudo CPU feature in
qemu.

3f029fb531 LXC: Fix handling of RAM filesystem size units
Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>

This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.

The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.

This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.

Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.

Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:

f8456e5a18 VMX: Add cdrom-raw dev type from VMWare Fusion
According to VMWare's documentation 'cdrom-raw' is an acceptable value
for deviceType for a CD-ROM drive. The documentation states that the VMX
configuration for a CD-ROM deviceType is as follows:

ide|scsi(n):(n).deviceType = "cdrom-raw|atapi-cdrom|cdrom-image"

From the documentation it appears the following is true:
- cdrom-image = Provides the ISO to the VM
- atapi-cdrom = Provides a NEC emulated ATAPI CD-ROM on top of the host
  CD-ROM
- cdrom-raw = Passthru for a host CD-ROM drive. Allows CD-R burning from
  within the guest.

A CD-ROM prior to this patch would always provide an 'atapi-cdrom' is
modeled as:
  <disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
    <source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
    <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
  </disk>

This patch allows the 'device' attribute to be set to 'lun' for a raw
acccess CD-ROM such as:
  <disk type='block' device='lun'>
    <source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
    <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>

feba2febce qemu: Support setting the 'removable' flag for USB disks
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.

To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

cd3fa76222 build: shipped files must not depend on BUILT_SOURCES
'make distcheck' was failing with:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/libvirt-1.1.1/_build/docs'
perl ../../docs/genaclperms.pl ../../src/access/viraccessperm.h > ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc
/bin/sh: ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc: Permission denied

when simulating the case of a user doing a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree.  The culprit?  BUILT_SOURCES are _always_
built, and so must NOT be built into srcdir and need not be part
of the tarball.  On the other hand, shipped files must never
depend on files in the builddir.  While it would be possible to
fix the problem by generating aclperms.htmlinc into builddir,
we then have the problem that we ship acl.html - we'd have to
rejigger a lot of things to not ship pre-built html.  So this
patch goes the other direction - we don't need BUILT_SOURCES,
but instead ensure that we have proper dependencies so that
all files in srcdir are up-to-date at the time the tarball is
created.  And because we ship html files in the tarball, that
implies we don't expect users to be able to rebuild them, so
we must not clean any files that would trigger a rebuild except
under the maintainer rules.

* docs/Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Delete.
(CLEANFILES): Downgrade aclperms.htmlinc cleanup...
(maintainer-clean-local): ...and move hvsupport.html.in...
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): ...to a maintainer action.

f06eb52fff build: fix 'make distcheck' out of the box
With the 1.1.1 tarball, if a user does 'make && make distcheck',
things pass, but if they do 'make distcheck' after 'make clean',
there is an odd failure:

  GEN      ../../docs/devhelp/index.html
I/O error : Permission denied
I/O error : Permission denied
runtime error: file ../../docs/devhelp/devhelp.xsl line 43 element document
xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ../../docs/devhelp/libvirt-virterror.html
I/O error : Permission denied
I/O error : Permission denied

This implies that the rules for 'make dist' are missing a
dependency - the generated documentation needs to be up-to-date
before creating the tarball, or else the tarball will be missing
files, where the end user will end up trying to rebuild files in
srcdir, and that fails when srcdir is read-only.

1.1.1 plus this patch now works without issues (other issues have
crept in to 1.1.2-rc1 that prevent 'make distcheck' from working,
but those will be cleaned up in later patches).

* docs/Makefile.am (dist-local): New dependency.

0f082e699e selinux: distinguish failure to label from request to avoid label
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924153

Commit 904e05a2 (v0.9.9) added a per-<disk> seclabel element with
an attribute relabel='no' in order to try and minimize the
impact of shutdown delays when an NFS server disappears.  The idea
was that if a disk is on NFS and can't be labeled in the first
place, there is no need to attempt the (no-op) relabel on domain
shutdown.  Unfortunately, the way this was implemented was by
modifying the domain XML so that the optimization would survive
libvirtd restart, but in a way that is indistinguishable from an
explicit user setting.  Furthermore, once the setting is turned
on, libvirt avoids attempts at labeling, even for operations like
snapshot or blockcopy where the chain is being extended or pivoted
onto non-NFS, where SELinux labeling is once again possible.  As
a result, it was impossible to do a blockcopy to pivot from an
NFS image file onto a local file.

The solution is to separate the semantics of a chain that must
not be labeled (which the user can set even on persistent domains)
vs. the optimization of not attempting a relabel on cleanup (a
live-only annotation), and using only the user's explicit notation
rather than the optimization as the decision on whether to skip
a label attempt in the first place.  When upgrading an older
libvirtd to a newer, an NFS volume will still attempt the relabel;
but as the avoidance of a relabel was only an optimization, this
shouldn't cause any problems.

In the ideal future, libvirt will eventually have XML describing
EVERY file in the backing chain, with each file having a separate
<seclabel> element.  At that point, libvirt will be able to track
more closely which files need a relabel attempt at shutdown.  But
until we reach that point, the single <seclabel> for the entire
<disk> chain is treated as a hint - when a chain has only one
file, then we know it is accurate; but if the chain has more than
one file, we have to attempt relabel in spite of the attribute,
in case part of the chain is local and SELinux mattered for that
portion of the chain.

4f595ba61c network: permit upstream forwarding of unqualified DNS names
This resolves the issue that prompted the filing of

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928638

(although the request there is for something much larger and more
general than this patch).

commit f3868259ca disabled the
forwarding to upstream DNS servers of unresolved DNS requests for
names that had no domain, but were just simple host names (no "."
character anywhere in the name). While this behavior is frowned upon
by DNS root servers (that's why it was changed in libvirt), it is
convenient in some cases, and since dnsmasq can be configured to allow
it, it must not be strictly forbidden.

This patch restores the old behavior, but since it is usually
undesirable, restoring it requires specification of a new option in
the network config. Adding the attribute "forwardPlainNames='yes'" to
the <dns> elemnt does the trick - when that attribute is added to a
network config, any simple hostnames that can't be resolved by the
network's dnsmasq instance will be forwarded to the DNS servers listed
in the host's /etc/resolv.conf for an attempt at resolution (just as
any FQDN would be forwarded).

When that attribute *isn't* specified, unresolved simple names will
*not* be forwarded to the upstream DNS server - this is the default
behavior.

70363ea9ff build: add configure option to disable gnulib tests
The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is
likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib
submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from
Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc).  While it is an
important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure
that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly
wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't
making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests
to alter behavior).  Thus, it pays to make the tests optional
at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for
tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on.  It also
helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01]
(much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure
time default of how verbose to be).

Automake has some pretty hard-coded magic with regards to the
TESTS variable; I had quite a job figuring out how to keep
'make distcheck' passing regardless of the configure option
setting in use, while still disabling the tests at runtime
when I did not configure them on and did not use the override
variable.  Thankfully, we require GNU make, which lets me
hide some information from Automake's magic handling of TESTS.

* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_epilogue): Munge gnulib test variable.
* configure.ac (--enable-expensive-tests): Add new enable switch.
(VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE_DEFAULT, WITH_EXPENSIVE_TESTS): Set new
witnesses.
* gnulib/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Make tests conditional on
configure settings and the VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE variable.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Expose VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE

* autobuild.sh: Enable all tests during autobuilds.

for each libvirt object. This table is autogenerated

664ab2801d Add info about access control checks into API reference
So that app developers / admins know what access control checks
are performed for each API, this patch extends the API docs
generator to include details of the ACLs for each.

The gendispatch.pl script is extended so that it generates
a simple XML describing ACL rules, eg.

  <aclinfo>
    ...
    <api name='virConnectNumOfDomains'>
      <check object='connect' perm='search_domains'/>
      <filter object='domain' perm='getattr'/>
    </api>
    <api name='virDomainAttachDeviceFlags'>
      <check object='domain' perm='write'/>
      <check object='domain' perm='save' flags='!VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG|VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE'/>
      <check object='domain' perm='save' flags='VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG'/>
    </api>
    ...
  </aclinfo>

The newapi.xsl template loads the XML files containing the ACL
rules and generates a short block of HTML for each API describing
the parameter checks and return value filters (if any).

62ac6b4354 qemu: add dmi-to-pci-bridge controller
This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.

Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.

Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.

This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.

48a3f48ac5 qemu: add pcie-root controller
This controller is implicit on q35 machinetypes. It provides 31 PCIe
(*not* PCI) slots as controller 0.

Currently there are no devices that can connect to pcie-root, and no
implicit pci controller on a q35 machine, so q35 is still
unusable. For a usable q35 system, we need to add a
"dmi-to-pci-bridge" pci controller, which can connect to pcie-root,
and provides standard pci slots that can be used to connect other
devices.

c00b2f0dd1 conf: Introduce new XML tag "mode" for disk source
There are two ways to use a iSCSI LUN as disk source for qemu.

 * The LUN's path as it shows up on host, e.g.
   /dev/disk/by-path/ip-$ip:3260-iscsi-$iqn-fc18:iscsi.iscsi0-lun-1

 * The libiscsi URI from the storage pool source element host attribute, e.g.
   iscsi://demo.org:6000/iqn.1992-01.com.example/1

For a "volume" type disk, if the specified "pool" is of iscsi
type, we should support to use the LUN in either of above 2 ways.
That's why to introduce a new XML tag "mode" for the disk source
(libvirt should support iscsi pool with libiscsi, but it's another
new feature, which should be done later).

The "mode" can be either of "host" or "direct". Use "host" to indicate
use of the LUN with the path as it shows up on host. Use "direct" to
indicate to use it with the source pool host URI (future patches may support
to use network type libvirt storage too, e.g. Ceph)

49e6a16f82 Document security reporting & handling process
Historically security issues in libvirt have been primarily
triaged & fixed by the Red Hat libvirt members & Red Hat
security team, who then usually notify other vendors via
appropriate channels. There have been a number of times
when vendors have not been properly notified ahead of
announcement. It has also disadvantaged community members
who have to backport fixes to releases for which there are
no current libvirt stable branches.

To address this, we want to make the libvirt security process
entirely community focused / driven. To this end I have setup
a new email address "libvirt-security@redhat.com" for end
users to report bugs which have (possible) security implications.

This email addr is backed by an invitation only, private
archive, mailing list. The intent is for the list membership
to comprise a subset of the libvirt core team, along with any
vendor security team engineers who wish to participate in a
responsible disclosure process for libvirt. Members of the
list will be responsible for analysing the problem to determine
if a security issue exists and then issue fixes for all current
official stable branches & git master.

I am proposing the following libvirt core team people as
members of the security team / list (all cc'd):

   Daniel Berrange (Red Hat)
   Eric Blake (Red Hat)
   Jiri Denemar (Red Hat)
   Daniel Veillard (Red Hat)
   Jim Fehlig (SUSE)
   Doug Goldstein (Gentoo)
   Guido Günther (Debian)

We don't have anyone from Ubuntu on the libvirt core team.
Serge Hallyn is the most frequent submitter of patches from
Ubuntu in recent history, so I'd like to invite him to join.
Alternatively, Serge, feel free to suggest someone else to
represent Ubuntu's interests.

If any other vendors/distros have security people who are
responsible for dealing with libvirt security issues, and
want to join to get early disclosure of issues, they can

a7c4202cdd qemu: Support discard for disk
QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53,

controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap})

</...>

This patch exposes the support in libvirt.

QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0:

% git tag --contains a9384aff53
contains
v1.5.0-rc0
v1.5.0-rc1

So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.

ccff335f83 Support for static routes on a virtual bridge
network: static route support for <network>

This patch adds the <route> subelement of <network> to define a static
route.  the address and prefix (or netmask) attribute identify the
destination network, and the gateway attribute specifies the next hop
address (which must be directly reachable from the containing
<network>) which is to receive the packets destined for
"address/(prefix|netmask)".

These attributes are translated into an "ip route add" command that is
executed when the network is started. The command used is of the
following form:

  ip route add <address>/<prefix> via <gateway> \
               dev <virbr-bridge> proto static metric <metric>

Tests are done to validate that the input data are correct.  For
example, for a static route ip definition, the address must be a
network address and not a host address.  Additional checks are added
to ensure that the specified gateway is directly reachable via this
network (i.e. that the gateway IP address is in the same subnet as one
of the IP's defined for the network).

prefix='0' is supported for both family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0'
netmask='0.0.0.0' or prefix='0', and for family='ipv6' address='::',
prefix=0', although care should be taken to not override a desired
system default route.

Anytime an attempt is made to define a static route which *exactly*
duplicates an existing static route (for example, address=::,
prefix=0, metric=1), the following error message will be sent to
syslog:

    RTNETLINK answers: File exists

This can be overridden by decreasing the metric value for the route
that should be preferred, or increasing the metric for the route that
shouldn't be preferred (and is thus in place only in anticipation that
the preferred route may be removed in the future).  Caution should be
used when manipulating route metrics, especially for a default route.

Note: The use of the command-line interface should be replaced by
direct use of libnl so that error conditions can be handled better.  But,
that is being left as an exercise for another day.

ada14b86cc Add support for storage format in FS <driver>
Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to

uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is
different from the <driver> element in disk devices
which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This
is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices
is already used for the driver backend, for which the
disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh.

Anyway for disks we have

An example of the scsi hostdev XML:

        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='4' unit='8'/>
    </hostdev>

Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.

The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let
libvirt generate it automatically.

This only introduces the generic XMLs for scsi hostdev, later patches
will add other elements, e.g. <readonly>, <shareable>.

6b74a9f5d9 string: make VIR_STRDUP easier to use
While reviewing proposed VIR_STRDUP conversions, I've already noticed
several places that do:

if (str && VIR_STRDUP(dest, str) < 0)

which can be simplified by allowing str to be NULL (something that
strdup() doesn't allow).  Meanwhile, code that wants to ensure a
non-NULL dest regardless of the source can check for <= 0.

Also, make it part of the VIR_STRDUP contract that macro arguments
are evaluated exactly once.

It's not desired to force users imagine path for a socket they
are not even supposed to connect to. On the other hand, we
already have a release where the qemu agent socket path is
exposed to XML, so we cannot silently drop it from there.
The new path is generated in form:

$LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/$domain.$name

for qemu system mode, and

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/lib/channel/target/$domain.$name

for qemu session mode.

c4f63ef080 conf: formatter/parser/RNG/docs for hostdev <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
A domain's <interface> or <hostdev>, as well as a <network>'s
<forward>, can now have an optional <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
element. As of this patch, there is no functionality behind this new
knob - this patch adds support to the domain and network
formatter/parser, and to the RNG and documentation.

When the backend is added, legacy KVM PCI device assignment will
continue to be used when no driver name is specified (or if <driver
name='kvm'/> is specified), but if driver name is 'vfio', the new UEFI
Secure Boot compatible VFIO device assignment will be used.

Note that the parser doesn't automatically insert the current default
value of this setting. This is done on purpose because the two
possibilities are functionally equivalent from the guest's point of
view, and we want to be able to automatically start using vfio as the
default (even for existing domains) at some time in the future. This
is similar to what was done with the "vhost" driver option in
<interface>.

For pSeries guest in QEMU, NVRAM is one kind of spapr-vio device.
Users are allowed to specify spapr-vio devices'address.
But NVRAM is not supported in libvirt. So this patch is to
add NVRAM device to allow users to specify its address.

In QEMU, NVRAM device's address is specified by
 "-global spapr-nvram.reg=xxxxx".

In libvirt, XML file is defined as the following:

  <nvram>
    <address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x3000'/>

0f4f5cb26d rng: tighten up domain <controller> schema
The rng schema for <controller> had been non-specific about which
types of controllers allowed which models, and also allowed the
num_queues attribute (since that hasn't been released yet, should we
rename it to "numQueues"?) and <master> subelement to be included for
any controller type. In reality, half of the models are allowed only
for type='scsi', and the other half only for type='usb', num_queues is
allowed only for type='scsi', and <master> only for type='usb'.

This patch makes a separate <group> for type='scsi' and type='usb',
with each group allowing only the appropriate model values, and
allowing num_queue and <master> only when appropriate.

<interleave> also hadn't been specified, forcing a specific order of
subelements, which should never be done. (Note that the <interleave>
had to surround the main element attributes that are in the <group>
subelements, due to one of the <group>s containing a subelement).

09d2547f96 qemu: Allow the disk wwn to have "0x" prefix
The recent qemu requires "0x" prefix for the disk wwn, this patch
changes virValidateWWN to allow the prefix, and prepend "0x" if
it's not specified. E.g.

qemu-kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,\
drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,wwn=6000c60016ea71ad:
Property 'scsi-hd.wwn' doesn't take value '6000c60016ea71ad'

Though it's a qemu regression, but it's nice to allow the prefix,
and doesn't hurt for us to always output "0x".

to 'scsi_host' if attribute 'name' is specified. I.e. It's optional
for 'scsi_host' adapter, for back-compat reason. However, mandatory

1a308ee015 qemu: add support for libiscsi
libiscsi provides a userspace iSCSI initiator.

The main advantage over the kernel initiator is that it is very
easy to provide different initiator names for VMs on the same host.
Thus libiscsi supports usage of persistent reservations in the VM,
which otherwise would only be possible with NPIV.

libiscsi uses "iscsi" as the scheme, not "iscsi+tcp".  We can change
this in the tests (while remaining backwards-compatible manner, because
QEMU uses TCP as the default transport for both Gluster and NBD).

ability to assign CCW devnos (bus addresses) to devices.
Domains with the new machine type s390-ccw-virtio can use the
CCW bus. Currently QEMU will only allow to define virtio
devices on the CCW bus.
Here we add the new machine type and the new device address to the
schema definition and add a new paragraph to the domain XML
documentation.

4932ef4502 rng: restrict passthrough names to known-good files
There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng.  It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

For the default 'random' backend:
  <devices>
    <rng model='virtio'>
      <backend model='random'>/dev/urandom</backend>
    </rng>
  </devices>

For the slightly more advanced EGD backend:

    <rng model='virtio'>
      <backend model='egd' type='udp'>
        <!-- this is a definition of a character device -->
        <source mode='bind' service='1234'/>
        <source mode='connect' host='1.2.3.4' service='1234'/>
        <!-- or other valid character device configuration -->
      </backend>
    </rng>
  </devices>

For the planned random daemon/pool:
  <devices>
    <rng model='virtio'>
      <backend model='pool' pool='poolname'>class</backend>
    </rng>
  </devices>

to enable the RNG device for guests.

0b73a763f3 use client id for IPv6 DHCP host definition
Originally, only a host name was used to associate a
DHCPv6 request with a specific IPv6 address.  Further testing
demonstrates that this is an unreliable method and, instead,
a client-id or DUID needs to be used.  According to DHCPv6
standards, this id can be a duid-LLT, duid-LL, or duid-UUID
even though dnsmasq will accept almost any text string.

Although validity checking of a specified string makes sure it is
hexadecimal notation with bytes separated by colons, there is no
rigorous check to make sure it meets the standard.

Documentation and schemas have been updated.

Any such defined option will result in a dhcp-option=<number>,"<value>"

Currently, DHCP options can be specified by number only and there is
no whitelisting or blacklisting of option numbers, which should
probably be added.

c1509ab47e qemu: escape ipv6 for rbd network disk hosts
Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses,
so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for
convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the
host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the
string passed to qemu.

Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets
so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

The socket_id field represents identification of the physical socket the
CPU is plugged in. This ID may not be identical to the physical socket
ID reported by the kernel.

The core_id identifies a core within a socket. Also this field may not
accurately represent physical ID's.

The core_id is guaranteed to be unique within a cell and a socket. There
may be duplicates between sockets. Only cores sharing core_id within one
cell and one socket can be considered as threads. Cores sharing core_id
within sparate cells are distinct cores.

The siblings field is a list of CPU id's the cpu id's the CPU is sibling
with - thus a thread. The list is in the cpuset format.

55bfd020d8 qemu: Support ram bar size for qxl devices
Adds a "ram" attribute globally to the video.model element, that changes
the resulting qemu command line only if video.type == "qxl".

<video>
  <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
</video>

That attribute gets a default value of 64*1024. The schema is unchanged
for other video element types.

The resulting qemu command line change is the addition of

-global qxl-vga.ram_size=<ram>*1024

or

-global qxl.ram_size=<ram>*1024

For the main and secondary qxl devices respectively.

The default for the qxl ram bar is 64*1024 kilobytes (the same as the
default qxl vram bar size).

3d1596b048 Introduce an LXC specific public API & library
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.

The actual APIs are

  int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                int **fdlist,
                                unsigned int flags);

  int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                 unsigned int nfdlist,
                                 int *fdlist,
                                 unsigned int *noldfdlist,
                                 int **oldfdlist,
                                 unsigned int flags);

which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.

NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it

bf1786b6d5 docs: restrict the set of characters for info keys
When parsing the top level comment of a file, apibuild.py used
to split on any ':' character of a line regarding the first part
as a key for a setting, e.g. "Summary". The second part would then
be assigned as the value for that key.

This means you could not use a ':' character inside those comments
without ill effects.

Now, a key must consist solely of alphanumeric characters, '_' or '.'.

aae0fc2a92 Add support for <hostdev mode="capabilities">
The <hostdev> device type has long had a redundant "mode"
attribute, which has always been "subsys". This finally
introduces a new mode "capabilities", which will be used
by the LXC driver for device assignment. Since container
based virtualization uses a single kernel, the idea of
assigning physical PCI devices doesn't make sense. It is
still reasonable to assign USB devices, but for assigning
arbitrary nodes in /dev, the new 'capabilities' mode is
to be used.

The first capability support is 'storage', which is for
assignment of block devices. Functionally this is really
pretty similar to the <disk> support. The only difference
is the device node name is identical in both host and
container namespaces.

    <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='storage'>
      <source>
        <block>/dev/sdf1</block>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

The second capability support is 'misc', which is for
assignment of character devices. There is no existing
parallel to this. Again the device node is the same
inside & outside the container.

    <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'>
      <source>
        <char>/dev/input/event3</char>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

The reason for keeping the char & storage devices
separate in the domain XML, is to mirror the split
in the node device XML. NB the node device XML does
not yet report character devices, but that's another
new patch to come

09938bb3b0 conf: add optional attribte primary to video <model> element
If there are multiple video devices
primary = 'yes' marks this video device as the primary one.
The rest are secondary video devices. No more than one could be
mark as primary. If none of them has primary attribute, the first
one will be the primary by default like what it was.
The reason of this changing is that for qemu, only one primary video
device is permitted which can be of any type. For secondary video
devices, only qxl is allowd. Primary attribute removes the restriction
that the first have to be the primary one.

We always put the primary video device into the first position of
video device structure array after parsing.

The DHCPv6 support includes IPV6 dhcp-range and dhcp-host for one
IPv6 subnetwork on one interface.  This support will only work
if dnsmasq version >= 2.64; otherwise an error occurs if
dhcp-range or dhcp-host is specified for an IPv6 address.

Essentially, this change provides the same DHCP support for IPv6
that has been available for IPv4.

With dnsmasq >= 2.64, support for the RA service is also now provided
by dnsmasq (radvd is no longer used/started). (Although at least one
version of dnsmasq prior to 2.64 "supported" IPv6 Router
Advertisement, there were bugs (fixed in 2.64) that rendered it
unusable.)

Documentation and the network schema has been updated
to reflect the new support.

705e67d40b network: allow guest to guest IPv6 without gateway definition
This patch adds the capability for virtual guests to do IPv6
communication via a virtual network interface with no IPv6 (gateway)
addresses specified.  This capability has always been enabled by
default for IPv4, but disabled for IPv6 for security concerns, and
because it requires the ip6tables command to be operational (which
isn't the case on a system with the ipv6 module completely disabled).

This patch adds a new attribute "ipv6" at the toplevel of a <network>
object.  If ipv6='yes', the extra ip6tables rules required to permite
inter-guest communications are added when the network is started. If
it is 'no', or not present, those rules will not be added; thus the
default behavior doesn't change, so there should be no compatibility
issues with any existing installations.

Note that virtual guests cannot communication with the virtualization
host via this interface, because the following kernel tunable has
been set:

   net.ipv6.conf.<bridge_interface_name>.disable_ipv6 = 1

This assures that the bridge interface will not have an IPv6
link-local (fe80::) address.

To control this behavior so that it is not enabled by default, the parameter
ipv6='yes' on the <network> statement has been added.

Documentation related to this patch has been updated.
The network schema has also been updated.

a2d2b80fbd Add Gluster protocol as supported network disk backend
This patch introduces the RNG schema and updates necessary data strucutures
to allow various hypervisors to make use of Gluster protocol as one of the
supported network disk backend. Next patch will add support to make use of
this feature in Qemu since it now supports Gluster protocol as one of the
network based storage backend.

Two new optional attributes for <host> element are introduced - 'transport'
and 'socket'. Valid transport values are tcp, unix or rdma. If none specified,
tcp is assumed. If transport is unix, socket specifies path to unix socket.

This patch allows users to specify disks on gluster backends like this:

    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source protocol='gluster' name='Volume1/image'>
        <host name='example.org' port='6000' transport='tcp'/>
      </source>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
    </disk>

    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source protocol='gluster' name='Volume2/image'>

4201a7ea1c snapshot: new XML for external system checkpoint
Each <domainsnapshot> can now contain an optional <memory>
element that describes how the VM state was handled, similar
to disk snapshots.  The new element will always appear in
output; for back-compat, an input that lacks the element will
assume 'no' or 'internal' according to the domain state.

Along with this change, it is now possible to pass <disks> in
the XML for an offline snapshot; this also needs to be wired up
in a future patch, to make it possible to choose internal vs.
external on a per-disk basis for each disk in an offline domain.
At that point, using the --disk-only flag for an offline domain
will be able to work.

For some examples below, remember that qemu supports the
following snapshot actions:

qemu-img: offline external and internal disk
savevm: online internal VM and disk
migrate: online external VM
transaction: online external disk

=====
<domainsnapshot>
  <memory snapshot='no'/>
  ...
</domainsnapshot>

implies that there is no VM state saved (mandatory for
offline and disk-only snapshots, not possible otherwise);
using qemu-img for offline domains and transaction for online.

=====
<domainsnapshot>
  <memory snapshot='internal'/>
  ...
</domainsnapshot>

state is saved inside one of the disks (as in qemu's 'savevm'
system checkpoint implementation).  If needed in the future,
we can also add an attribute pointing out _which_ disk saved
the internal state; maybe disk='vda'.

=====
<domainsnapshot>
  <memory snapshot='external' file='/path/to/state'/>
  ...
</domainsnapshot>

This is not wired up yet, but future patches will allow this to
control a combination of 'virsh save /path/to/state' plus disk
snapshots from the same point in time.

=====

So for 1.0.1 (and later, as needed), I plan to implement this table
of combinations, with '*' designating new code and '+' designating
existing code reached through new combinations of xml and/or the
existing DISK_ONLY flag:

domain  memory  disk   disk-only | result

a3e95abeb5 Document bracket whitespace rules & add syntax-check rule
This documents the following whitespace rules

      if(foo)   // Bad
      if (foo)  // Good

      int foo (int wizz)  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz)   // Good

      bar = foo (wizz);  // Bad
      bar = foo(wizz);   // Good

      typedef int (*foo) (int wizz);  // Bad
      typedef int (*foo)(int wizz);   // Good

      int foo( int wizz );  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz);    // Good

There is a syntax-check rule extension to validate all these rules.
Checking for 'function (...args...)' is quite difficult since it
needs to ignore valid usage with keywords like 'if (...test...)'
and while/for/switch. It must also ignore source comments and
quoted strings.

It is not possible todo this with a simple regex in the normal
syntax-check style. So a short Perl script is created instead
to analyse the source. In practice this works well enough. The
only thing it can't cope with is multi-line quoted strings of
the form

 "start of string\
more lines\
more line\
the end"

but this can and should be written as

 "start of string"
 "more lines"
 "more line"
 "the end"

with this simple change, the bracket checking script does not
have any false positives across libvirt source, provided it
is only run against .c files. It is not practical to run it
against .h files, since those use whitespace extensively to
get alignment (though this is somewhat inconsistent and could
arguably be fixed).

The only limitation is that it cannot detect a violation where
the first arg starts with a '*', eg

   foo(*wizz);

since this generates too many false positives on function
typedefs which can't be supressed efficiently.

f108944ae0 doc: Sort out the relationship between <vcpu>, <vcpupin>, and <emulatorpin>
These 3 elements conflicts with each other in either the doc
or the underlying codes.

Current problems:

Problem 1:

The doc shouldn't simply say "These settings are superseded
by CPU tuning. " for element <vcpu>. As except the tuning, <vcpu>
allows to specify the current, maxmum vcpu number. Apart from that,
<vcpu> also allows to specify the placement as "auto", which binds
the domain process to the advisory nodeset from numad.

Problem 2:

Doc for <vcpu> says its "cpuset" specify the physical CPUs
that the vcpus can be pinned. But it's not the truth, as
actually it only pin domain process to the specified physical
CPUs. So either it's a document bug, or code bug.

Problem 3:

Doc for <vcpupin> says it supersed "cpuset" of <vcpu>, it's
not quite correct, as each <vcpupin> specify the pinning policy
only for one vcpu. How about the ones which doesn't have
<vcpupin> specified? it says the vcpu will be pinned to all
available physical CPUs, but what's the meaning of attribute
"cpuset" of <vcpu> then?

Problem 4:

Doc for <emulatorpin> says it pin the emulator threads (domain
process in other context, perhaps another follow up patch to
cleanup the inconsistency is needed) to the physical CPUs
specified its attribute "cpuset". Which conflicts with
<vcpu>'s "cpuset". And actually in the underlying codes,
it set the affinity for domain process twice if both
"cpuset" for <vcpu> and <emulatorpin> are specified,
and <emulatorpin>'s pinning will override <vcpu>'s.

Problem 5:

When "placement" of <vcpu> is "auto" (I.e. uses numad to
get the advisory nodeset to which the domain process is
pinned to), it will also be overridden by <emulatorpin>,

This patch is trying to sort out the conflicts or bugs by:

1) Don't say <vcpu> is superseded by <cputune>

2) Keep the semanteme for "cpuset" of <vcpu> (I.e. Still says it
   specify the physical CPUs the virtual CPUs). But modifying it
   to mention it also set the pinning policy for domain process,
   and the CPU placement of domain process specified by "cpuset"
   of <vcpu> will be ingored if <emulatorpin> specified, and
   similary, the CPU placement of vcpu thread will be ignored
   if it has <vcpupin> specified, for vcpu which doesn't have
   <vcpupin> specified, it inherits "cpuset" of <vcpu>.

3) Don't say <vcpu> is supersed by <vcpupin>. If neither <vcpupin>
   nor "cpuset" of <vcpu> is specified, the vcpu will be pinned
   to all available pCPUs.

4) If neither <emulatorpin> nor "cpuset" of <vcpu> is specified,
   the domain process (emulator threads in the context) will be
   pinned to all available pCPUs.

5) If "placement" of <vcpu> is "auto", <emulatorpin> is not allowed.

6) hotplugged vcpus will also inherit "cpuset" of <vcpu>

Codes changes according to above document changes:

1) Inherit def->cpumask for each vcpu which doesn't have <vcpupin>
   specified, during parsing.

2) ping the vcpu which doesn't have <vcpupin> specified to def->cpumask
   either by cgroup for sched_setaffinity(2), which is actually done
   by 1).

3) Error out if "placement" == "auto", and <emulatorpin> is specified.
   Otherwise, <emulatorpin> is honored, and "cpuset" of <cpuset> is
   ignored.

4) Setup cgroup for each hotplugged vcpu, and setup the pinning policy
   by either cgroup or sched_setaffinity(2).

5) Remove cgroup and <vcpupin> for each hot unplugged vcpu.

893647671b locking: Implement lock failure action in sanlock driver
While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.

The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).

With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to

  ./run ./tools/virsh [args ...]

If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following
command will also work:

  ../run ./virsh [...]

You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:

  ./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program

or under gdb:

  ./run gdb --args ./program

This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt):

  sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all

libguestfs is much more sophisticated:

ef1e024df8 blockjob: add virDomainBlockCommit
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'

3f9274a524 conf: add <vlan> element to network and domain interface elements
The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:

within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>

Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements.  If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.

Some examples:

  <interface type='hostdev'/>
    <vlan>
      <tag id='42'/>
    </vlan>
    <mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
    ...
  </interface>

  <network>
    <name>vlan-net</name>
    <vlan trunk='yes'>
      <tag id='30'/>
    </vlan>
    <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
  </network>

  <interface type='network'/>
    <source network='vlan-net'/>
    ...
  </interface>

  <network>
    <name>trunk-vlan</name>
    <vlan>
      <tag id='42'/>
      <tag id='43'/>
    </vlan>
    ...
  </network>

  <network>
    <name>multi</name>
    ...
    <portgroup name='production'/>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='42'/>
      </vlan>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='test'/>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='666'/>
      </vlan>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

  <interface type='network'/>
    <source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
    ...
  </interface>

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)

300bcdb63b network: add connections counter to networks
Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections
counter, now each network has a connections counter which is
incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this
network.

The count is output in the live network XML, like this:

   <network connections='20'>
   ...
   </network>

It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used
internally anywhere by libvirt.

6a3691b743 network: merge relevant virtualports rather than choosing one
One of the original ideas behind allowing a <virtualport> in an
interface definition as well as in the <network> definition *and*one
or more <portgroup>s within the network, was that guest-specific
parameteres (like instanceid and interfaceid) could be given in the
interface's virtualport, and more general things (portid, managerid,
etc) could be given in the network and/or portgroup, with all the bits
brought together at guest startup time and combined into a single
virtualport to be used by the guest. This was somehow overlooked in
the implementation, though - it simply picks the "most specific"
virtualport, and uses the entire thing, with no attempt to merge in
details from the others.

This patch uses virNetDevVPortProfileMerge3() to combine the three
possible virtualports into one, then uses
virNetDevVPortProfileCheck*() to verify that the resulting virtualport
type is appropriate for the type of network, and that all the required
attributes for that type are present.

An example of usage is this: assuming a <network> definitions on host
ABC of:

  <network>
    <name>testA</name>
    ...
    <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
    ...
    <portgroup name='engineering'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters profileid='eng'/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='sales'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters profileid='sales'/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

and the same <network> on host DEF of:

  <network>
    <name>testA</name>
    ...
    <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
      <parameters typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"/>
    </virtualport>
    ...
    <portgroup name='engineering'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters managerid="11"/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='sales'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters managerid="55"/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

and a guest <interface> definition of:

  <interface type='network'>
    <source network='testA' portgroup='sales'/>
    <virtualport>
      <parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
                  interfaceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"\>
    </virtualport>
    ...
  </interface>

If the guest was started on host ABC, the <virtualport> used would be:

  <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
    <parameters interfaceid='09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f'
                profileid='sales'/>
  </virtualport>

but if that guest was started on host DEF, the <virtualport> would be:

    <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
      <parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
                  typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"
                  managerid="55"/>
    </virtualport>

Additionally, if none of the involved <virtualport>s had a specified type
(this includes cases where no virtualport is given at all),

4af3cbafdd conf: support partially-specified <virtualport> in parser and formatter
Until now, all attributes in a <virtualport> parameter list that were
acceptable for a particular type, were also required. There were no
optional attributes.

One of the aims of supporting <virtualport> in libvirt's virtual
networks and portgroups is to allow specifying the group-wide
parameters in the network's virtualport, and merge that with the
interface's virtualport, which will have the instance-specific info
(i.e. the interfaceid or instanceid).

Additionally, the guest's interface XML shouldn't need to know what
type of network connection will be used prior to runtime - it could be
openvswitch, 802.1Qbh, 802.1Qbg, or none of the above - but should
still be able to specify instance-specific info just in case it turns
out to be applicable.

Finally, up to now, the parser for virtualport has always generated a
random instanceid/interfaceid when appropriate, making it impossible
to leave it blank (which is what's required for virtualports within a
network/portprofile definition).

This patch modifies the parser and formatter of the <virtualport>
element in the following ways:

* because most of the attributes in a virNetDevVPortProfile are fixed
  size binary data with no reserved values, there is no way to embed a
  "this value wasn't specified" sentinel into the existing data. To
  solve this problem, the new *_specified fields in the
  virNetDevVPortProfile object that were added in a previous patch of
  this series are now set when the corresponding attribute is present
  during the parse.

* allow parsing/formatting a <virtualport> that has no type set. In
  this case, all fields are settable, but all are also optional.

* add a GENERATE_MISSING_DEFAULTS flag to the parser - if this flag is
  set and an instanceid/interfaceid is expected but not provided, a
  random one will be generated. This was previously the default
  behavior, but is now done only for virtualports inside an
  <interface> definition, not for those in <network> or <portgroup>.

* add a REQUIRE_ALL_ATTRIBUTES flag to the parser - if this flag is
  set the parser will call the new
  virNetDevVPortProfileCheckComplete() functions at the end of the
  parser to check for any missing attributes (based on type), and
  return failure if anything is missing. This used to be default
  behavior. Now it is only used for the virtualport defined inside an
  interface's <actual> element (by the time you've figured out the
  contents of <actual>, you should have all the necessary data to fill
  in the entire virtualport)

* add a REQUIRE_TYPE flag to the parser - if this flag is set, the
  parser will return an error if the virtualport has no type
  attribute. This also was previously the default behavior, but isn't
  needed in the case of the virtualport for a type='network' interface
  (i.e. the exact type isn't yet known), or the virtualport of a
  portgroup (i.e. the portgroup just has modifiers for the network's
  virtualport, which *does* require a type) - in those cases, the
  check will be done at domain startup, once the final virtualport is
  assembled (this is handled in the next patch).

5e21da5630 build: regenerate .png files
We don't expect people to have tools installed to regenerate .png
from .fig by default.  However, since commit 5eb3df8, several
.fig files were updated without regenerating the .png file, and
as a result, 'make dist' ends up regenerating those five files,
or worse, failing because of missing tools (convert from
ImageMagick).

Additionally, even if the tools are present, the generation of
.png files is nondeterministic (the resulting files contain a
timestamp), which means prior to this patch, running 'make dist'
from two checkouts will end up producing different tarball
contents (two 'make dist' runs will always produce different tar
files, since tarballs also contain timestamps; but unpacking the
tarballs and doing a recursive diff will show if the contents
are unchanged).

After this patch, the timestamps are now up-to-date, and 'make
dist' no longer has anything to do for the .png files.  This gets
us closer to the goal of two checkouts being able to produce the
same tarball.

29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.

A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.

A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.

In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

  <disk type='network'>
    ...
    <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
      <host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
    </source>
  </disk>

To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.

6510c97bf5 Add some missing hook functions
A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.

If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.

Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.

This all also applies to the LXC driver

7bff56a0d1 build: fix 'make distcheck' issues
We had a distributed file (remote_protocol.h, which in turn was
a prereq to remote_driver.c) depending on a generated file
(libvirt_probes.h), which is a no-no for a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree (no wonder 'make distcheck' tests precisely
that situation):

     File `libvirt_driver_remote.la' does not exist.
       File `libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo' does not exist.
             Prerequisite `libvirt_probes.h' is newer than target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
            Must remake target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
Invoking recipe from Makefile:7464 to update target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.

cannot create ../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h: Permission denied at ../../src/rpc/genprotocol.pl line 31.
make[3]: *** [../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h] Error 13

Rather than making distributed .c files depend on generated files, we
really want to ensure that compilation into .lo files is not attempted
until the generated files are present, done by this patch.  Since there
were two different sets of conditionally generated files that both
feed the .lo file, I had to introduce a new variable REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS
to keep automake happy.

After that fix, the next issue was that make treats './foo' and 'foo'
differently in determining whether an implicit %foo rule is applicable,
with the result that locking/qemu-sanlock.conf wasn't properly being
built at the right times.  Also, the output for using the .aug test
files was a bit verbose.

After fixing the src directory, the next error is related to the docs
directory, where the tarball is missing a stamp file and thus tries to
regenerate files that are already present:

  GEN    ../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2511, in <module>
    rebuild("libvirt")

    output = open(filename, "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '../../docs/libvirt-api.xml'
make[5]: *** [../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp] Error 1

and fixing that exposed another case of a distributed file (generated
html) depending on a built file (libvirt.h), but only when doing an
in-tree build, because of a file glob.

* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_driver.c): Change...

cec281fcaa nwfilter: add DHCP snooping
This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).

Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.

The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.

RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.

It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.

To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.

The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.

For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

a3f3ab4c9c nwfilter: Add support for ipset
This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.

On the command line iptables supports ipset using

iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...

where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT

Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset 
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.

Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:

  <rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
  </rule>

The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.

FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:

https://ipset.netfilter.org/ipset.man.html

548563956e Allow stack traces to be included with log messages
Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces

As defined in:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

This offers a number of advantages:
 * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the

Based on a report by Seth Vidal.  Just because _you_ can use virsh

this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a

97010eb1f1 numad: Set memory policy from numad advisory nodeset
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.

This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:

  <numatune>
    <memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
  </numatune>

Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.

If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".

The following XML can now fully drive numad:

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
   <numatune>.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave'/>
   </numatune>

And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
   </numatune>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'

   <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
   </numatume>

A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

ae6aa8c396 blockjob: enhance xml to track mirrors across libvirtd restart
In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror.  Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front.  This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
      <mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
      ...
    </disk>

For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing).  The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase.  If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

Every now & then, with parallel builds, we get a failure to

is because we get 2 instances of the generator running at

We already list hvsupport.html.in in BUILT_SOURCES but this
was not working. It turns out the flaw is that we were
adding deps to the 'all:' target instead of the 'all-am:'
target. BUILT_SOURCES is a dep of 'all', so any custom
targets written in Makefile.am must use 'all-am:' so that
they don't get run until BUILT_SOURCES are completely

b8bf79aad7 Support clock=variable relative to localtime
Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to
qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to
'localtime' instead of 'utc'.

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.

Adapt the only user 'qemu' to the new name.
Extend the RelaxNG schema accordingly.
Document the new 'basis' attribute in the HTML documentation.
Adapt test for the new attribute.

06a0d57f5a Refactor the libvirt RPM daemon pieces
There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:

 - Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
   etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
   question
 - Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
   files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
   inside a guest
 - It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
   required to manage a specific hypervisor

This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus

 - libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
   libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
 - libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
 - libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
 - libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
 - libvirt-docs: the website HTML

We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages

 - libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
 - libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
 - libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'xen'

 - libvirt-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon-qemu & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon-kvm & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon-lxc & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon-uml & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon-xen & libvirt-daemon-config-network

My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include
any specific drivers, instead we'll get libvirt-daemon-driver-XXXX
packages for each driver. The libvirt-daemon-XXX packages will
then pull in each driver that they require.

It is recommended that applications required a locally installed
libvirtd daemon, use either 'Requires: libvirt-daemon-XXXX' or
'Requires: libvirt-XXX' and *not* "Requires: libvirt-daemon"
or 'Requires: libvirt'

0007237301 conf: forbid use of multicast mac addresses
A few times libvirt users manually setting mac addresses have
complained of a networking failure that ends up being due to a multicast
mac address being used for a guest interface. This patch prevents that
by logging an error and failing if a multicast mac address is
encountered in each of the three following cases:

1) domain xml <interface> mac address.
2) network xml bridge mac address.
3) network xml dhcp/host mac address.

There are several other places where a mac address can be input that
aren't controlled in this manner because failure to do so has no
consequences (e.g., if the address will be used to search through
existing interfaces for a match).

The RNG has been updated to add multiMacAddr and uniMacAddr along with
the existing macAddr, and macAddr was switched to uniMacAddr where
appropriate.

0f8e7ae33a qemu: Support numad
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.

More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad

"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.

This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.

  <vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
  <vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
  <vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
  numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024

The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).

If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.

Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.

See docs update in patch for more details.

6e0ff1d402 qemu: support disk filenames with comma
If there is a disk file with a comma in the name, QEmu expects a double
comma instead of a single one (e.g., the file "virtual,disk.img" needs
to be specified as "virtual,,disk.img" in QEmu's command line). This
patch fixes libvirt to work with that feature. Fix RHBZ #801036.

1b1402b90f xml: drop unenforced minimum memory limit from RNG
The test domain allows <memory>0</memory>, but the RNG was stating

2e14861224 storage: support more scaling suffixes
Disk manufacturers are fond of quoting sizes in powers of 10,
rather than powers of 2 (after all, 2.1 GB sounds larger than
2.0 GiB, even though the exact opposite is true).  So, we might
as well follow coreutils' lead in supporting three types of
suffix: single letter ${u} (which we already had) and ${u}iB
for the power of 2, and ${u}B for power of 10.

Additionally, it is impossible to create a file with more than
2**63 bytes, since off_t is signed (if you have enough storage
to even create one 8EiB file, I'm jealous).  This now reports
failure up front rather than down the road when the kernel
finally refuses an impossible size.

265457845f xml: output memory unit for clarity
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

cb7583e161 xml: share 'unit' in RNG
The code supported unit='E' for "exabyte", but the RNG did not;
conversely, the RNG supported "z" and "y" but the code did not
(I'm jealous if you have that much storage, particularly since
it won't fit in 64-bit off_t).  Also, the code supported
<allocation unit='...'>, but not the RNG.

In an effort to make 'unit' more worthwhile in future patches,
it's easier to share it between files.

In making this factorization, note that absFilePath is more
permissive than 'path', so storage pools and storage volumes
will now validate with a wider set of file names than before.
I don't think this should be a problem in practice.

repeating things here.

3b1c191fe7 conf: parse/format type='hostdev' network interfaces
This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:

  <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
  </interface>

This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.

NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.

Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <vendor id='0x0012'/>
      <product id='0x24dd'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).

Language bindings may well want to use the libvirt-api.xml and

b170eb99f5 Add two new security label types
Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.

With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.

This patch introduces two new security label types

 - default:  the host configuration decides whether to run the
             guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
 - none:     the guest will run unconfined by security policy

The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement

  security_default_confined = 1|0  (default == 1)
  security_require_confined = 1|0  (default == 0)

99fd69c3de block rebase: add new API virDomainBlockRebase
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.

This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element

 rawio='yes' indicates the disk is desirous of CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

 If you specify the following XML:

 <disk type='block' device='lun' rawio='yes'>
  ...
 </disk>

 the domain will be granted CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
 (of course, the domain have to be executed with root privilege)

NOTE:
   - "rawio" attribute is only valid when device='lun'
   - At the moment, any other disks you won't use rawio can use rawio.

3801831cdf qemu: add "romfile" support to specify device boot ROM
This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562

Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).

One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.

In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:

   <hostdev>
     ...
     <rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
     ...
   </hostdev

(similarly for <interface>).

When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.

After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).

c160ce3316 QEMU guest agent support
There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed
and given a virtio serial channel

    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
    </channel>

The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and
qemu_monitor_json.c

d9e0d8204b Add new attribute wrpolicy to <driver> element
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.

When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.

Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
  <driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
  <source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
  <target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>

Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

f7dd3a4e62 Add support for cpu mode attribute
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:

- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
    <cpu>
      <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
    </cpu>

- guest CPU matches selected model:
    <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
      <model>core2duo</model>
    </cpu>

- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
  XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
  from capabilities to domain XML):
    <cpu mode='host-model'/>

  In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
  automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
  removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
    <cpu mode='host-model'>
      <model fallback='forbid'/>
    </cpu>

- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
  VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
    <cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
      <model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model>       --+
      <vendor>Intel</vendor>                         |
      <topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/>  + copied from
      <feature policy='require' name='dca'/>         | capabilities XML
      <feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/>        |
      ...                                          --+
    </cpu>

- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
  libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
  hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
    <cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>

- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
  VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:

80e9a5cd4c Introduce possibility to have an iterator per variable
This patch introduces the capability to use a different iterator per
variable.

The currently supported notation of variables in a filtering rule like

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A' srcportstart='$B'/>
  </rule>

processes the two lists 'A' and 'B' in parallel. This means that A and B
must have the same number of 'N' elements and that 'N' rules will be 
instantiated (assuming all tuples from A and B are unique).

In this patch we now introduce the assignment of variables to different
iterators. Therefore a rule like

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A[@1]' srcportstart='$B[@2]'/>
  </rule>

will now create every combination of elements in A with elements in B since
A has been assigned to an iterator with Id '1' and B has been assigned to an
iterator with Id '2', thus processing their value independently.

The first rule has an equivalent notation of

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A[@0]' srcportstart='$B[@0]'/>
  </rule>

177db08775 qemu: add new disk device='lun' for bus='virtio' & type='block'
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.

As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.

device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:

1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
   version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
   better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
   CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).

2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
   SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
   -device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).

Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.

*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
 add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.

Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.

973af2362c Implement DNS SRV record into the bridge driver
Hi,
this is the fifth version of my SRV record for DNSMasq patch rebased
for the current codebase to the bridge driver and libvirt XML file to
include support for the SRV records in the DNS. The syntax is based on
DNSMasq man page and tests for both xml2xml and xml2argv were added as
well. There are some things written a better way in comparison with
version 4, mainly there's no hack in tests/networkxml2argvtest.c and
also the xPath context is changed to use a simpler query using the
virXPathInt() function relative to the current node.

Also, the patch is also fixing the networkxml2argv test to pass both
checks, i.e. both unit tests and also syntax check.

Please review,
Michal

6cb4acce8b seclabel: extend XML to allow per-disk label overrides
When doing security relabeling, there are cases where a per-file
override might be appropriate.  For example, with a static label
and relabeling, it might be appropriate to skip relabeling on a
particular disk, where the backing file lives on NFS that lacks
the ability to track labeling.  Or with dynamic labeling, it might
be appropriate to use a custom (non-dynamic) label for a disk
specifically intended to be shared across domains.

The new XML resembles the top-level <seclabel>, but with fewer
options (basically relabel='no', or <label>text</label>):

<domain ...>
  ...
  <devices>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <source file='/path/to/image1'>
        <seclabel relabel='no'/> <!-- override for just this disk -->
      </source>
      ...
    </disk>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <source file='/path/to/image1'>
        <seclabel relabel='yes'> <!-- override for just this disk -->
          <label>system_u:object_r:shared_content_t:s0</label>
        </seclabel>
      </source>
      ...
    </disk>
    ...
  </devices>
  <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'>
    <baselabel>text</baselabel> <!-- used for all devices without override -->
  </seclabel>
</domain>

This patch only introduces the XML and documentation; future patches
will actually parse and make use of it.  The intent is that we can
further extend things as needed, adding a per-device <seclabel> in
more places (such as the source of a console device), and possibly
allowing a <baselabel> instead of <label> for labeling where we want
to reuse the cNNN,cNNN pair of a dynamically labeled domain but a
different base label.

First suggested by Daniel P. Berrange here:

116d6af979 schema: rewrite seclabel rng to match code
The RNG for <seclabel> was too strict - if it was present, then it
had to have sub-elements, even if those didn't make sense for the
given attributes.  Also, we didn't have any tests of <seclabel>
parsing or XML output.

In this patch, I added more parsing tests than output tests (since
the output populates and/or reorders fields not present in certain
inputs).  Making the RNG reliable is a precursor to using <seclabel>
variants in more places in the XML in later patches.

6ac81c8ec8 blkiotune: add interface for blkiotune.device_weight
This adds per-device weights to <blkiotune>.  Note that the
cgroups implementation only supports weights per block device,
and not per-file within the device; hence this option must be
global to the domain definition rather than tied to individual
<devices>/<disk> entries:

<domain ...>
  <blkiotune>
    <device>
      <path>/path/to/block</path>
      <weight>1000</weight>
    </device>
  </blkiotune>
..

This patch also adds a parameter --device-weights to virsh command
blkiotune for setting/getting blkiotune.weight_device for any
hypervisor that supports it.  All <device> entries under
<blkiotune> are concatenated into a single string attribute under
virDomain{Get,Set}BlkioParameters, named "device_weight".

e352b16400 Export KVM Host Power Management capabilities
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.

The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.

However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.

To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.

8951328619 Extend NWFilter parameter parser to cope with lists of values
This patch modifies the NWFilter parameter parser to support multiple
elements with the same name and to internally build a list of items.
An example of the XML looks like this:

        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.2.3'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.2.3.4'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.1.1'/>

The list of values is then stored in the newly introduced data type
virNWFilterVarValue.

The XML formatter is also adapted to print out all items in alphabetical
order sorted by 'name'.

This patch also fixes a bug in the XML schema on the way.

ea7c73a76f Enable chains with names having a known prefix
This patch enables chains that have a known prefix in their name.
Known prefixes are: 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'arp', 'rarp'. All prefixes
are also protocols that can be evaluated on the ebtables level.

Following the prefix they will be automatically connected to an interface's
'root' chain and jumped into following the protocol they evaluate, i.e.,
a table 'arp-xyz' will be accessed from the root table using

ebtables -t nat -A <iface root table> -p arp -j I-<ifname>-arp-xyz

thus generating a 'root' chain like this one here:

Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp-xyz
-j DROP 

where the chain 'arp-xyz' is accessed for filtering of ARP packets.

23247a1efd esx: Support folders in the path of vpx:// connection URIs
Allow the datacenter and compute resource parts of the path
to be prefixed with folders. Therefore, the way the path is
parsed has changed. Before, it was split in 2 or 3 items and
the items' meanings were determined by their positions. Now
the path can have 2 or more items and the the vCenter server
is asked whether a folder, datacenter of compute resource
with the specified name exists at the current hierarchy level.

Before the datacenter and compute resource lookup automatically
traversed folders during lookup. This is logic got removed
and folders have to be specified explicitly.

The proper datacenter path including folders is now used when
accessing a datastore over HTTPS. This makes virsh dumpxml
and define work for datacenters in folders.

A few people have attempted to use the new forwarding modes with older
versions of libvirt. The docs where the modes are described have
always stated the minimum required libvirt version, but the examples
at the end didn't, which I believe is what has caused the confusion.

Similarly, the section on portgroups now has a version tag added at
the beginning.

I also noticed that there was no example of defining a <dns> hostname,
so I added one, as well as making the domain name example more
recognizable (by adding ".com" to the domain).

4bb4109f7b qemu: add separate rerror_policy for disk errors
Previously libvirt's disk device XML only had a single attribute,
error_policy, to control both read and write error policy, but qemu
has separate options for controlling read and write. In one case
(enospc) a policy is allowed for write errors but not read errors.

This patch adds a separate attribute that sets only the read error
policy. If just error_policy is set, it will apply to both read and
write error policy (previous behavior), but if the new rerror_policy
attribute is set, it will override error_policy for read errors only.
Possible values for rerror_policy are "stop", "report", and "ignore"
("report" is the qemu-controlled default for rerror_policy when
error_policy isn't specified).

For consistency, the value "report" has been added to the possible
values for error_policy as well.

652f887144 Allow passing of command line args to LXC container
When booting a virtual machine with a kernel/initrd it is possible
to pass command line arguments using the <cmdline>...args...</cmdline>
element in the guest XML. These appear to the kernel / init process
in /proc/cmdline.

When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline,
but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally
we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a
regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve
libvirt parsing the <cmdline> XML text. This can easily be added
later, even if we add the env variable now

c329db7180 qemu: make PCI multifunction support more manual
When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174

and the discussion before and after

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html

This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:

  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
           slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>

In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.

With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.

A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).

dc79852af8 qemu: add ability to set PCI device "rombar" on or off
This patch was made in response to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095

In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).

rombar is forced on/off by adding:

  <rom bar='on|off'/>

inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.

At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.

89b6284fd9 snapshot: also support disks by path
I got confused when 'virsh domblkinfo dom disk' required the
path to a disk (which can be ambiguous, since a single file
can back multiple disks), rather than the unambiguous target
device name that I was using in disk snapshots.  So, in true
developer fashion, I went for the best of both worlds - all
interfaces that operate on a disk (aka block) now accept
either the target name or the unambiguous path to the backing
file used by the disk.

f609cb85ca snapshot: allow full domain xml in snapshot
Just like VM saved state images (virsh save), snapshots MUST
track the inactive domain xml to detect any ABI incompatibilities.

The indentation is not perfect, but functionality comes before form.

Later patches will actually supply a full domain; for now, this
wires up the storage to support one, but doesn't ever generate one
in dumpxml output.

Happily, libvirt.c was already rejecting use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE
from read-only connections, even though before this patch, there was
no information to be secured by the use of that flag.

And while we're at it, mark the libvirt snapshot metadata files

af65695af0 snapshot: allow recreation of metadata
The first two flags are essential for being able to replicate
snapshot hierarchies across multiple hosts, which will come in
handy for supervised migrations.  It also allows a management app
to take a snapshot of a transient domain, save the metadata, stop
the domain, recreate a new transient domain by the same name,
redefine the snapshot, then revert to it.

This is not quite as convenient as leaving the metadata behind
after a domain is no longer around, but doing that has a few
problems: 1. the libvirt API can only delete snapshot metadata
if there is a valid domain handle to use to get to that snapshot
object - if stale data is left behind without a domain, there is
no way to request that the data be cleaned up. 2. creating a new
domain with the same name but different uuid than the older
domain where a snapshot existed cannot use the older snapshot
data; this risks confusing libvirt, and forbidding the stale
data is similar to the recent patch to forbid stale managed save.

The first two flags might be useful on hypervisors with no metadata,
but only for modifying the notion of the current snapshot;
however, I don't know how to do that for ESX or VBox.

The third flag is a convenience option, to combine a creation with
a delete metadata into one step.  It is trivial for hypervisors
with no metadata.

The qemu changes will be involved enough to warrant a separate patch.

73c0a148af qemu: support event_idx parameter for virtio disk and net devices
In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).

As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).

type='network', the <listen> element should have an attribute called
'network' that will be set to the name of a network configuration to
get the IP address from.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated to allow the <listen> element

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the <listen> element and its
  attributes.

* src/conf/domain_conf.[hc]:

  1) The domain parser, formatter, and data structure are modified to
     support 0 or more <listen> subelements to each <graphics>
     element. The old style "legacy" listen attribute is also still
     accepted, and will be stored internally just as if it were a
     separate <listen> element. On output (i.e. format), the address
     attribute of the first <listen> element of type 'address' will be
     duplicated in the legacy "listen" attribute of the <graphic>
     element.

  2) The "listenAddr" attribute has been removed from the unions in
     virDomainGRaphicsDef for graphics types vnc, rdp, and spice.
     This attribute is now in the <listen> subelement (aka
     virDomainGraphicsListenDef)

  3) Helper functions were written to provide simple access
     (both Get and Set) to the listen elements and their attributes.

* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the listen helper functions

* src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c,
  src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,
  src/vmx/vmx.c, src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c, src/xenxs/xen_xm.c

  Modify all these files to use the listen helper functions rather
  than directly referencing the (now missing) listenAddr
  attribute. There can be multiple <listen> elements to a single
  <graphics>, but the drivers all currently only support one, so all
  replacements of direct access with a helper function indicate index
  "0".

* tests/* - only 3 of these are new files added explicitly to test the
  new <listen> element. All the others have been modified to reflect
  the fact that any legacy "listen" attributes passed in to the domain
  parse will be saved in a <listen> element (i.e. one of the
  virDomainGraphicsListenDefs), and during the domain format function,
  both the <listen> element as well as the legacy attributes will be
  output.

fe957f0a6f bandwidth: Integrate bandwidth into portgroups
Every DomainNetDef has a bandwidth, as does every portgroup.
Whenever a DomainNetDef of type NETWORK is about to be used, a call is
made to networkAllocateActualDevice(). This function chooses the "best"
bandwidth object and places it in the DomainActualNetDef.
From that point on, whenever some code needs to use the bandwidth data
for the interface, it's retrieved with virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(),
which will always return the "best" info as determined in the
previous step.

<bandwidth>
  <inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
  <outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>

Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.

for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.

40fd7073be conf: support abstracted interface info in network XML
The network XML is updated in the following ways:

1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:

     <forward .... >
       <interface dev='eth10'/>
       <interface dev='eth11'/>
       <interface dev='eth12'/>
       <interface dev='eth13'/>
     </forward>

   The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
   normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
   either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
   both on input, they must match.

2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
   are supported:

     private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
     domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
     interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:

        <interface type='direct'>
          <source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
          ...
        </interface>

     where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
     selected from the list given in <forward>.

     bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
     forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
     'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
     specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
     name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
     libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:

       <interface type='bridge'>
          <source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
          ...
       </interface>

3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
   selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
   "portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
   network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
   virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
   may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
   building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
   virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
   a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
   network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
   the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
   interface.

4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
   which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
   the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
   specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
   portgroups on the network.

07f4136993 conf: support abstracted interface info in domain interface XML
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:

1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')

2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.

3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.

The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).

a3d95b550b conf: put virtPortProfile struct / functions in a common location
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will

and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).

e5adda7e6b website: Point main page links to libvirt driver pages
The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies.  The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example.  People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies.  This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead.  It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them.  Finally, it adds a line about networking support.

1ea83207c8 Support leases in guest XML and lock manager
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.

c3c30d4de9 build: avoid corrupting / in RHEL 5
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.

65043d2dff Introduce yet another migration version in API.
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.

because there is no such thing as IPv6 NAT, there is no one IPv6
address that would work for all installations).

4591df766d Remove the Open Nebula driver
The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.

Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.

The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.

Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

50d8ad828d Update on the goal page
Some things to note in this patch:
   - we do extend libvirt scope beyond purely managing domains, there is
     already a number of blocks which are here as helpr functions to
     manage the resources on the host.
   - we are expanding in the direction of libvirt being sufficient to do
     most of the management on the Host (but within the limits of the need
     for virtualization, e.g. managing users on the host is out of scope)
   - we don't require anymore APIs to be supported by multiple
     hypervisors to get in, it's already the case in practice, but we
     should still make sure the semantic of those APIs are clear. We
     added quite a bit for QEmu, but for example I saw on IRC that VBox
     could emulate a network unplug/replug on a domain interface, and
     that would be a good addition even if a priori no other hypervisor
     supports it.
   - Make clear that all libvirt APIs are available remotely, which is
     key to use libvirt for building management tools.
   - link the goal page from the project main page

As for libvirt project directions, I think it just reflects the natural
evolution in the last couple of years. We are less hypervisor agnostic
and extending in the Host management. Clearly there is interest in
making sure libvirt is complete in term of features for the hypervisors
supported, especially the ones like KVM or LXC which don't really have
integrated management library.

4e3117ae50 Make LXC container startup/shutdown/I/O more robust
The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.

Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.

Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away

This change makes the use of the 'cpu', 'devices'
and 'memory' cgroups controllers compulsory with
LXC

* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document that certain cgroups
  controllers are now mandatory

a757e60a07 domain.rng vs. formatdomain.html#elementsUSB
The Relax-NG schema for domains regarding <hostdev> doesn't match what's
implemented in src/conf/domain_conf.c#virDomainHostdevDefFormat(): The
implementation only requires @type, but the schema currently either
required none or all three attributes (@mode, @type, and @managed) to be
defined together, because they are declared in the same
<optional)-section. (@managed is currently even undocumented on
<http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsUSB>).

Thus the following minimal <hostdev>-example fails to validate:
<domain type='test'>
        <name>N</name>
        <memory>4096</memory>
        <bootloader>/bin/false</bootloader>
        <os>
                <type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
        </os>
        <devices>
                <hostdev type='pci'>
                        <source>
                                <address bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
                        </source>
                </hostdev>
        </devices>
</domain>

The schema is changed to match the current implementation:
1. @mode is optional (which defaults to 'subsystem')
2. @type is required
3. @managed is optional (which defaults to 'no')

The documentation is updated to mention @managed.

6e9f3dfa0c build: Fix API docs generation in VPATH build
XSLT allows for two ways of generating the output of transformation.
Either implicit, which xsltproc prints to stdout and can be redirected
to a file using -o file. Or explicit, which means the stylesheet
contains <xsl:document> element which specifies where the output should
be saved. This can be used for generating more files by a single run of
xsltproc and -o directory/ can change the directory where the output
files will be stored.

devhelp.xsl is special in that it combines both options in one
stylesheet, which doesn't work well with -o:

xsltproc --nonet -o ./devhelp/ ./devhelp/devhelp.xsl ./libvirt-api.xml

Outputs 4 *.html files into ./devhelp but then tries to write to
./devhelp/ as a file (hence the I/O error) rather than writing output to
the fifth file devhelp/libvirt.devhelp.

This patch modifies devhelp.xsl so that all files are generated using
<xsl:document> element and -o directory/ can be used to override output
directory where those files are saved.

5754dbd56d Give each virtual network bridge its own fixed MAC address
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609463

The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".

The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).

Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.

I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.

Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

e9bd5c0e24 Add txmode attribute to interface XML for virtio backend
This is in response to:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662

Explanation

qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.

'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)

'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)

The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:

    bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
    causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
    tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
    packets.

Solution

This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:

    <interface ...>
      ...
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver txmode='iothread'/>
      ...
    </interface>

I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)

Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of

    qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?

If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.

6cabc0b0d0 qemu: sound: Support intel 'ich6' model
In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.

This is basically Dan's proposal of

    <sound model='ich6'>
        <codec type='output' slot='0'/>
        <codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
    </sound>

without the codec bits implemented.

The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:

    - every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
        manually specified)
    - <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
    - new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
        <sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models

v2:
    Use model='ich6'

v3:
    Use feature detection, from eblake
    Set codec id, bus, and cad values

v4:
    intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available

v5:

1d9c0a08d9 qemu: Allow serving VNC over a unix domain socket
QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:

<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>

This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').

Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.

94234fa2f8 Introduce per-device boot element
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.

This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.

fe053dbea7 Enable tuning of qemu network tap device "sndbuf" size
This is in response to a request in:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665293

In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).

Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but

The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.

     <interface type='network'>
       ...
       <tune>
         <sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
       ...

175077fd70 Add XML config switch to enable/disable vhost-net support
This patch is in response to

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643050

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.

This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:

     <interface type="network">
       <model type="virtio"/>
       <driver name="vhost"/>

will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.

If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.

a950dd2a31 Change virtual network XML parsing/formatting to support IPv6
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).

* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
  parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
  * there can now be more than one <ip> element.
  * ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
  * new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
  * new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
    (will default to ipv4)
  * define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
  (including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
  correctly parsed and formatted.

008abeeeb9 make the <dhcp> element optional in network.rng
In practice this has always been optional, but the RNG has shown it as
mandatory, and since all the examples for make check had it, it was
never noticed. One of the existing test cases has been changed to
check for this.

I also noticed that the dhcp/host/ip was still defined as <text/>,
but should really be <ref name='ipv4-addr'/>

cc5e2a849c command: improve behavior on no output
Guarantee that outbuf/errbuf are allocated on success, even if to the

check requires checking if *outbuf=='\0'.  Makes the API easier to use

out-of-memory, cannot allocate a buffer, but most do), so caller must
free buffer on failure.

Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()<  0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()<  0.

I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.

f04de501bc Introduce VIR_CLOSE to be used rather than close()
Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.

There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.

I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).

79c27a620a allow memballoon type of none to desactivate it
The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
  <memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
  value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,

e4938ce2f1 esx: Restrict vpx:// to handle a single host in a vCenter
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.

Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.

esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.

Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.

Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:

  <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>

The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.

Update the documentation and tests accordingly.

Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use

51d3fb0276 nwfilter: add XML attribute to control iptables state match
This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).

[...]
<rule action='accept' direction='in' statematch='false'>
<tcp srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'
           srcipaddr='10.1.2.3' srcipmask='32'
           dscp='33'
           srcportstart='20' srcportend='21'
           dstportstart='100' dstportend='1111'/>
</rule>
[...]

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.

The virtio serial changes broke the test suite because they forgot

a8f75d2c7d vepa: parsing for 802.1Qb{g|h} XML
This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().

   <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
        <parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
         instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
      </virtualport>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
    </interface>

    <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
        <parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
      </virtualport>
    </interface>

I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.

Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
  as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
 - removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
   moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
   and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
   macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
  - indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
    properly
  - parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
    parameter '0' for base
  - tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
    to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
  only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
  in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
  will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
  file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
  for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
  this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
  where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
  all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
  we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
  here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
  - adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
  - added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
  functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
  for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
  (802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
  802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
  necessary to use (for SR-IOV)

aea68ce906 nwfilter: add support for RAPR protocol
This patch adds support for the RARP protocol. This may be needed due to
qemu sending out a RARP packet (at least that's what it seems to want to
do even though the protocol id is wrong) when migration finishes and
we'd need a rule to let the packets pass.

Unfortunately my installation of ebtables does not understand -p RARP
and also seems to otherwise depend on strings in /etc/ethertype
translated to protocol identifiers. Therefore I need to pass -p 0x8035
for RARP. To generally get rid of the dependency of that file I switch
all so far supported protocols to use their protocol identifier in the
-p parameter rather than the string.

I am also extending the schema and added a test case.

changes from v1 to v2:
- added test case into patch

4ee2b31804 Changes to clock timer XML to match final design.
The clock timer XML is being updated in the following ways (based on
further off-list discussion that was missed during the initial
implementation):

1) 'wallclock' is changed to 'track', and the possible values are 'boot'
 (corresponds to old 'host'), 'guest', and 'wall'.

2) 'mode' has an additional value 'smpsafe'

3) when tickpolicy='catchup', there can be an optional sub-element of
   timer called 'catchup':

   <catchup threshold=123 slew=120 limit=10000/>

Those three values are all longs, always optional, and if they are present,
they are positive. Internally, 0 indicates "unspecified".

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated RNG definition to account for changes

* src/conf/domain_conf.h: change the C struct and enums to match changes.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c: timer parse and format functions changed to
                          handle the new selections and new element.

* src/libvirt_private.syms: *TimerWallclock* changes to *TimerTrack*

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: again, account for Wallclock --> Track change.

188af565dd Add timer element to domain schema
timers are sub-elements of clocks. A clock can have zero or more
instances of timer. Within the timer, only the name attribute is
required; all other attributes are optional.

A simpler representation of a timer element is:

  <timer name='platform|pit|rtc|hpet|tsc'
         wallclock='host|guest'
         tickpolicy='delay|catchup|merge|discard'
         frequency='123'
         mode='auto|native|emulate|paravirt'
         present='yes|no'/>

frequency is a ulong. All other attributes are simple enums.
