libvirt supports pci domain already, so update the documentation.
Otherwise users who lookup the documentation for how to use hostdev may
miss the domain and encounter error when pass-through a pci device in a

Disk type 'lun' enables SCSI command passthrough for a disk. We stated
that it works only with "block" disks. Qemu supports it also when using
the iSCSI protocol.
LXC network devices can now be assigned a custom NIC device name on the
container side. For example, this is configured with:
<interface type='network'>
<source network='default'/>
<guest dev="eth1"/>
</interface>
In this example the network card will appear as eth1 in the guest.
The previous commit 09d4d26 put the interleave at the wrong point;
it didn't allow interleaving with <memory>.

In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result. When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements. With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field. This will be useful when we have tuning settings for
particular guest NUMA node.

This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.
The XML looks like:
<interface type='vhostuser'>
<mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1a'/>
<source type='unix' path='/tmp/vhost.sock' mode='server'/>
<model type='virtio'/>

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).

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.
This introduces two new attributes "cmd_per_lun" and "max_sectors" same
with the names QEMU uses for virtio-scsi. An example of the XML:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi' cmd_per_lun='50'
max_sectors='512'/>

-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,cmd_per_lun=50,max_sectors=512,

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.

The interface state for bonds and vlans does seem to reflect the state
of the underlying physical devices, at least in some cases, so it
makes sense to allow reporting it (netcf now does).
The link state/speed for bridge devices is meaningless though, so we
don't even look for it.
The interface xml schema was written with strict rules about the
ordering of the elements. This was never intentional, but just due to
omission of <interleave> in the appropriate places. This patch just
adds in <interleave> wherever there is more than one element, and
re-indents everything else appropriately.
In section "Block / character devices" of "Host device assignment",
the description of hostdev element has some error:
For a block device, the type should be "storage", not "block";
For a character device, the type should be "misc", not "char".

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.

While exposing the info under <interface/> in previous patch works, it
may work only in cases where interface is configured on the host.
However, orchestrating application may want to know the link state and
speed even in that case. That's why we ought to expose this in nodedev
XML too:
virsh # nodedev-dumpxml net_eth0_f0_de_f1_2b_1b_f3
<device>
<name>net_eth0_f0_de_f1_2b_1b_f3</name>

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").

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.

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.

If user or management application wants to create a guest,

before the guest resources are pinned. For example:

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.

index attributes of backingStore elements can be used to unambiguously
identify a specific part of the image chain.
