quite some time now. Since nobody even reported any issue with it
let us drop it.

The HTML5 doctype is simply
<!DOCTYPE html>
no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an
extension of SGML.
XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public
or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack
instead.

The 'name' attribute on <a...> elements is deprecated in favour
of the 'id' attribute which is allowed on any element. HTML5

The <pre/> section is rendered as-is on the page. That is, if all
the lines are prefixed with 4 spaces the rendered page will also
have them. Problem is if we put a box around such <pre/> because
the content might not fix into it.

IGMP is used on IPv4 networks tp setup multicast group memberships. On
IPv6, this job is done by Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD), which
uses ICMPv6 packets rather than its own IP protocol number like IGMP.
The nwfilter documentation lists "igmp-ipv6" as one of the possible
protocols, but this is ignored (and stripped from the xml). This patch
removes that erroneous reference.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038888
Make use of the ebtables functionality to be able to filter certain
parameters of icmpv6 packets. Extend the XML parser for icmpv6 types,
type ranges, codes, and code ranges. Extend the nwfilter documentation,
schema, and test cases.
Being able to filter icmpv6 types and codes helps extending the DHCP
snooper for IPv6 and filtering at least some parameters of IPv6's NDP
(Neighbor Discovery Protocol) packets. However, the filtering will not
be as good as the filtering of ARP packets since we cannot
check on IP addresses in the payload of the NDP packets.

Add a netmask for the source and destination IP address for the
ebtables --arp-ip-src and --arp-ip-dst options. Extend the XML
parser with support for XML attributes for these netmasks similar
to already supported netmasks. Extend the documentation.

The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.
This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

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 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

This patch adds several aspects of documentation about the network filtering
system:
- chains, chains' priorities and chains' default priorities
- talks about lists of elements, i.e., a variable assigned multiple values
(part of already ACK-ed series)
- already mentions the vlan, stp and mac chains added later on
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01238.html)
- mentions limitations of vlan filtering (when sent by VM) on Linux systems
This patch enables filtering of gratuitous ARP packets using the following XML:
<rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='425'>
<arp gratuitous='true'/>
</rule>
This patch adds support for the evaluation of TCP flags in nwfilters.
It adds documentation to the web page and extends the tests as well.
Also, the nwfilter schema is extended.
The following are some example for rules using the tcp flags:
<rule action='accept' direction='in'>
<tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL' dsptportstart='80'/>
</rule>
<rule action='drop' direction='in'>
<tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL'/>
</rule>
This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported.
I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.
This patch adds another example to the nwfilter html page and provides 2 solutions for how to write a filter meeting the given requirements using newly added features.
