Add support for creating disk-only (no memory) snapshots in esx, and
for quiescing the VM before taking the snapshot. The VMware API
supports these operations directly, so adding support to libvirt is
just a matter of setting the flags correctly when calling
VMware. VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY and
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE are now valid flags for esx.

Convert the type of loop iterators named 'i', 'j', k',
'ii', 'jj', 'kk', to be 'size_t' instead of 'int' or
'unsigned int', also santizing 'ii', 'jj', 'kk' to use
the normal 'i', 'j', 'k' naming

VI objects support inheritance with subtype polymorphism. For example the
FileInfo object type is extended by FloppyImageFileInfo, FolderFileInfo
etc. Then SearchDatastore_Task returns an array of FileInfo objects and
depending on the represented file the FileInfo is actually a FolderFileInfo
or FloppyImageFileInfo etc. The actual type information is stored as XML
attribute that allows clients such as libvirt to distinguish between the
actual types. esxVI_GetActualObjectType is used to extract the actual type.
I assumed that this mechanism would be used for all VI object types that
have subtypes. But this is not the case. It seems only to be used for types
that are actually used as generic base type such as FileInfo. But it is not
used for types that got extended later such as ElementDescription that was
extended by ExtendedElementDescription (added in vSphere API 4.0) or that
are not meant to be used with subtype polymorphism.
This breaks the deserialization of types that contain ElementDescription
properties such as PerfCounterInfo or ChoiceOption, because the code
expects an ElementDescription object to have an XML attribute named type
that is not present, since ExtendedElementDescription was added to the
esx_vi_generator.input in commit 60f0f55ee4.
This in turn break virtual machine question handling and auto answering.
Fix this by using the base type if no XML type attribute is present.
These all existed before virfile.c was created, and for some reason
weren't moved.
This is mostly straightfoward, although the syntax rule prohibiting
write() had to be changed to have an exception for virfile.c instead
of virutil.c.
This movement pointed out that there is a function called
virBuildPath(), and another almost identical function called
virFileBuildPath(). They really should be a single function, which
I'll take care of as soon as I figure out what the arglist should look
like.
The previous update of method naming missed the ESX storage
backend files. Update them is that the driver impl methods
follow the naming of the public API but with s/vir/esx/

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Python code generator "generate_source" section that handles
code generation to "free" inherited objects needs to generate
DISPATCH_FREE calls for all extended_by objects.
Ensure that all drivers implementing public APIs use a
naming convention for their implementation that matches
the public API name.
eg for the public API virDomainCreate make sure QEMU
uses qemuDomainCreate and not qemuDomainStart

This patch refactors various places to allow removing of the
defaultConsoleTargetType callback from the virCaps structure.
A new console character device target type is introduced -
VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_NONE - to mark that no type was
specified in the XML. This type is at the end converted to the standard
VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_SERIAL. Other types that are
different from this default have to be processed separately in the
device post parse callback.
Use the virDomainXMLConf structure to hold this data and tweak the code
to avoid semantic change.
Without configuration the KVM mac prefix is used by default. I chose it
as it's in the privately administered segment so it should be usable for
any purposes.
This patch adds instrumentation that will allow hypervisor drivers to
fill and validate domain and device definitions after parsed by the XML
parser.
With this patch, after the XML is parsed, a callback to the driver is
issued requesting to fill and validate driver specific details of the
configuration. This allows to use sensible defaults and checks on a per
driver basis at the time the XML is parsed.
Two callback pointers are stored in the new virDomainXMLConf object:
* virDomainDeviceDefPostParseCallback (devicesPostParseCallback)
- called for a single device parsed and for every single device in a
domain config. A virDomainDeviceDefPtr is passed along with the
domain definition and virCaps.
* virDomainDefPostParseCallback, (domainPostParseCallback)
- A callback that is meant to process the domain config after it's
parsed. A virDomainDefPtr is passed along with virCaps.
Both types of callbacks support arbitrary opaque data passed for the
callback functions.
Errors may be reported in those callbacks resulting in a XML parsing
failure.
This patch is the result of running:
for i in $(git ls-files | grep -v html | grep -v \.po$ ); do
sed -i -e "s/virDomainXMLConf/virDomainXMLOption/g" -e "s/xmlconf/xmlopt/g" $i
done
and a few manual tweaks.
The virCaps structure gathered a ton of irrelevant data over time that.
The original reason is that it was propagated to the XML parser
functions.
This patch aims to create a new data structure virDomainXMLConf that
will contain immutable data that are used by the XML parser. This will
allow two things we need:
1) Get rid of the stuff from virCaps
2) Allow us to add callbacks to check and add driver specific stuff
after domain XML is parsed.
This first attempt removes pointers to private data allocation functions
to this new structure and update all callers and function that require
them.
To enable virCapabilities instances to be reference counted,
turn it into a virObject. All cases of virCapabilitiesFree
turn into virObjectUnref

Commit 4445e16bfa changed the signature
of esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter by replacing the esxPrivate
pointer with virConnectPtr. The esxPrivate pointer was then retrieved
again from virConnectPtr's privateData. This resulted in a NULL pointer
dereference, because the privateData pointer was not yet initialized at
the point where esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter are called.
This was fixed in commit b126715a48 that
moved the initialization of privateData before the problematic calls.
Simplify the logic by making the call to esxFreePrivate unconditional and
changing esxConnectToHost and esxConnectToVCenter back to take a esxPrivate
pointer directly. This allows to assign esxPrivate to the virConnectPtr's
privateData pointer as one of the last steps in esxOpen making it more
obvious that it is not initialized during the earlier steps of esxOpen.

The attributes of a <network> element's <forward> element were
previously stored directly in the virNetworkDef object, but
virNetworkUpdateForward() needs to operate on a <forward> in
isolation, so this patchs pulls out all those attributes into a
separate virNetworkForwardDef struct (and shortens their names
appropriately). This new object is contained in the virNetworkDef, not
pointed to by it, so there is no extra memory management.
This patch makes no functional changes, it only changes, e.g.,
"nForwardIfs" to "forward.nifs".
The patch adds the backend driver to support iSCSI format storage pools
and volumes for ESX host. The mapping of ESX iSCSI specifics to Libvirt
is as follows:
1. ESX static iSCSI target <------> Libvirt Storage Pools
2. ESX iSCSI LUNs <------> Libvirt Storage Volumes.
The above understanding is based on http://libvirt.org/storage.html.
The operation supported on iSCSI pools includes:
1. List storage pools & volumes.
2. Get XML descriptor operaion on pools & volumes.
3. Lookup operation on pools & volumes by name, UUID and path (if applicable).
iSCSI pools does not support operations such as: Create / remove pools
and volumes.
The patch refactors the current ESX storage driver due to following reasons:
1. Given most of the public APIs exposed by the storage driver in Libvirt
remains same, ESX storage driver should not implement logic specific
for only one supported format (current implementation only supports VMFS).
2. Decoupling interface from specific storage implementation gives us an
extensible design to hook implementation for other supported storage
formats.
This patch refactors the current driver to implement it as a facade pattern i.e.
the driver exposes all the public libvirt APIs, but uses backend drivers to get
the required task done. The backend drivers provide implementation specific to
the type of storage device.
File changes:
------------------
esx_storage_driver.c ----> esx_storage_driver.c (base storage driver)
|
|---> esx_storage_backend_vmfs.c (VMFS backend)
This will simplify the refactoring of the ESX storage driver to support
a VMFS and an iSCSI backend.
One of the tasks the storage driver needs to do is to decide which backend
driver needs to be invoked for a given request. This approach extends
virStoragePool and virStorageVol to store extra parameters:
1. privateData: stores pointer to respective backend storage driver.
2. privateDataFreeFunc: stores cleanup function pointer.
virGetStoragePool and virGetStorageVol are modfied to accept these extra
parameters as user params. virStoragePoolDispose and virStorageVolDispose
checks for cleanup operation if available.
The private data pointer allows the ESX storage driver to store a pointer
to the used backend with each storage pool and volume. This avoids the need
to detect the correct backend in each storage driver function call.
For S390, the default console target type cannot be of type 'serial'.
It is necessary to at least interpret the 'arch' attribute
value of the os/type element to produce the correct default type.
Therefore we need to extend the signature of defaultConsoleTargetType
to account for architecture. As a consequence all the drivers
supporting this capability function must be updated.
Despite the amount of changed files, the only change in behavior is
that for S390 the default console target type will be 'virtio'.
N.B.: A more future-proof approach could be to to use hypervisor
specific capabilities to determine the best possible console type.
For instance one could add an opaque private data pointer to the
virCaps structure (in case of QEMU to hold capsCache) which could
then be passed to the defaultConsoleTargetType callback to determine
the console target type.
Seems to be however a bit overengineered for the use case...

After the connection to ESX 5.1 being broken since g1e7cd39, the fix
in bab7752c helped a bit, but still missed a spot, so the connection
is now successful, but some APIs (for example defineXML) don't work.
Two cases missing are added in this patch to avoid that.
The libvirt coding standard is to use 'function(...args...)'
instead of 'function (...args...)'. A non-trivial number of
places did not follow this rule and are fixed in this patch.

After separating 5.x and 5.1 versions of ESX, we forgot to add 5.1
into the list of allowed connections, so connections to 5.1 fail since
v1.0.0-rc1-5-g1e7cd39
Also remove warnings for upcoming versions. There hadn't been any
compatibility problems with new ESX version over the whole lifetime
of the ESX driver, so I don't expect any in the future.
Update documentation to mention vSphere 5.x support.
Traverse the whole inheritance hierarchy for dynamic dispatch as it is
already done for the dynamic cast.
Also make AnyType cast errors more verbose.

libcurl uses a SIGALRM in combination with sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to be
able to abort a DNS lookup when it takes too long. The problem with this
in a multi-threaded application is that the signal handler for SIGALRM
and the call to siglongjmp can be executed on a thread that is different
from the one that initially did the SIGALRM setup and the call to
sigsetjmp. In the reported case this triggered a segfault.
Disable libcurl's use of signals to avoid this situation. This has the
disadvantage of losing the ability to abort synchronous DNS lookups which
might result in libcurl getting stuck in a DNS lookup in the worst case.
When libcurl was build with an asynchronous DNS backend such as c-ares
then there is no problem because the timeout mechanism works without
signals here anyway.
