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).

In many places we define a variable as a 'const char *' when in fact
we modify it just a few lines below. Or even free it. We should not do
that.
There's one exception though, in xenSessionFree() xenapi_utils.c. We
are freeing the xen_session structure which is defined in
xen/api/xen_common.h public header. The structure contains session_id
which is type of 'const char *' when in fact it should have been just
'char *'. So I'm leaving this unmodified, just noticing the fact in
comment.

When the backing store of a volume wasn't accessible while updating the
volume definition the call would fail altogether. In cases where we
currently (incorrectly) treat remote backing stores as local one this
might lead to strange errors.
Ignore the opening errors until we figure out how to track proper volume
metadata.
Use the backing store parser to properly create the information about a
volume's backing store. Unfortunately as the storage driver isn't
prepared to allow volumes backed by networked filesystems add a
workaround that will avoid changing the XML output.
Assign the value we're comparing:
(val = func()) < 0
instead of assigning the comparison value:
(val = func() < 0)
Both were introduced along with the code,
the TLS tests by commit bd789df in 0.9.4
net events by commit de87691 in 1.2.2.
Note that the event id type fix is a no-op:
vshNetworkEventIdTypeFromString can only return
-1 (failure) and the event is never used or
0 (the only possible event) and the value of 0 < 0 is still 0.

Apparently, even though shell has elif so that you can do a chain
of conditionals, the rpm spec file does not, and you have to nest

Rework the apparmor lxc profile abstraction to mimic ubuntu's container-default.
This profile allows quite a lot, but strives to restrict access to
dangerous resources.
Removing the explicit authorizations to bash, systemd and cron files,
forces them to keep the lxc profile for all applications inside the
container. PUx permissions where leading to running systemd (and others
tasks) unconfined.
Put the generic files, network and capabilities restrictions directly
in the TEMPLATE.lxc: this way, users can restrict them on a per
container basis.
Rename linuxDomainInterfaceStats to virNetInterfaceStats in order
to allow adding platform specific implementations without
making consumer worrying about specific implementation to be used.
Also, rename util/virstatslinux.c to util/virstats.c so placing
other platform specific implementations into this file don't
look unexpected from the file name.
Code logic in libxlDomainAttachDeviceFlags and libxlDomainDetachDeviceFlags
is wrong with return value in error cases.
'ret' was being set to 0 if 'flags & VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_CONFIG' was
false. Then if something like virDomainDeviceDefParse() failed in the
VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_LIVE logic, the error would be reported but the
function would return success.

Use secured polkit on distros which provide it. However, RHEL-6 will
still allow for older polkit-0.93 rather than forcing polkit-0.96-5
which is not available in all RHEL-6 releases.
4cc1f1a01f introduced a crash when doing a
block copy as virStorageSourceInitChainElement was called on
"disk->mirror" that is still NULL at that point instead of "mirror"
which temporarily holds the mirror source struct until it's fully
initialized. This resulted into a crash as a NULL was dereferenced.

Commit id '3ea661de' refactored the code to use the 'disk->src->path'
instead of getting the path from virDomainDiskGetSource(). The one
call to qemuOpenFile() didn't use the disk source path, rather it used
the path as passed from the caller (in this case 'vda') - this caused
a failure with the virt-test/tp-libvirt as follows:
$ virsh domblkinfo virt-tests-vm1 vda
error: cannot stat file '/home/virt-test/shared/data/images/jeos-20-64.qcow2': Bad file descriptor

If the openvswitch service is stopped, and is followed by destroying a
VM, the openvswitch bridge translates into a state where it doesn't
recover the port configuration. While it successfully fetches data
from the internal DB, since the corresponding virtual interface does
not exists anymore the whole recovery process fails leaving restarted
VM with inability to connect to the bridge. The following set of
commands will trigger the problem:
virsh start vm
service openvswitch-switch stop
virsh destroy vm
service openvswitch-switch start
virsh start vm

Snapshots and block-copy have a flag that forces qemu to re-use existing
file. Our docs weren't exactly clear on what the existing file should
contain for this to actually work.
Re-word the docs a bit to state that the file needs to be pre-created in
the desired format and the backing chain metadata needs to be set prior
to handing it over to qemu.

For non-local storage drivers we can't expect to use the FDStream
backend for up/downloading volumes. Split the code into a separate
backend function so that we can add protocol specific code later.
This saves a few lines of code and catches the error when:
<spice autoport ='yes' defaultMode='any' ..>
<channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
</spice>
is specified with spice_tls = 0 in qemu.conf.
Instead of this error in qemuBuildGraphicsSPICECommandLine:
error: unsupported configuration: spice secure channels set in XML
configuration, but TLS port is not provided
an error is reported in qemuProcessSPICEAllocatePorts:
error: unsupported configuration: Auto allocation of spice TLS port
requested but spice TLS is disabled in qemu.conf

The commit referenced above changed function arguments of
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf() but didn't tweak the
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL tied to them. This was caught by coverity as it
actually obeys them. We disabled them for GCC and thus it didn't show
up.
Additionally in commit 3ea661deea I passed
NULL to the backingFormat argument which was also marked as nonnull. Use
a dummy int's address when the argument isn't supplied so that the code
doesn't need to change much.
Split out checking of invalid metadata type from the switch statement so
that we can use the typecasted enum value to allow tracking addition of
new items by the compliler.
Also avoids two dead-code break statements.
The default graphics channel mode is 'any', so as to defaultMode attribute.
If defaultMode and channel mode are all the default value 'any',
qemuConnectDomainXMLToNative will set TLSPort.
But in qemuBuildGraphicsSPICECommandLine, if spice_tls is not enabled, libvirtd
will report an error to tell the user that spice TLS is disabled in qemu.conf.
So qemuConnectDomainXMLToNative should check spice_tls is enabled,
then decide to allocate an tlsPort number to this graphics.
If user specified defaultMode is 'secure', qemuConnectDomainXMLToNative
could allocate tlsPort, and then let qemuBuildGraphicsSPICECommandLine reports
the spice_tls disabled error.

Now that cgroups/security driver/locking driver support labelling of
individual images and tolerate network storage we don't have to refrain
from passing all image files to it. This allows removing the checking
code as we already make sure that the snapshot function won't be called
with unsupported options.
Now that security, cgroup and locking APIs support working on individual
images and we track the backing chain security info on a per-image basis
we can finally kill swapping the disk source in virDomainDiskDef and use
the virStorageSource directly.
Until now we were changing information about the disk source via
multiple steps of copying data. Now that we changed to a pointer to
store the disk source we might use it to change the approach to track
the data.
Additionally this will allow proper tracking of the backing chain.
When pivoting to a new disk source after a block commit (and possibly
after a soon-to-be-added active block commit) we changed just a few
fields to the new target. In case we'd copy a network disk to a local
file we'd not change the type properly.
To avoid such problems, switch to tracking of the source via changing of
the complete source struct to the one tracking the mirroring info.
