Sometimes, an asynchronous helper is started (such as a compressor
or iohelper program), but a later error means that we want to

Child processes don't always reach _exit(); if they die from a

either expect a 0 status (thankfully, if status==0, then
WIFEXITED(status) is true and WEXITSTATUS(status)==0 for all
known platforms) or were filtering on WIFEXITED before printing
a status, but a few were missing this check. Additionally,
nwfilter_ebiptables_driver was making an assumption that works
on Linux (where WEXITSTATUS shifts and WTERMSIG just masks)

This is the part allowing to dynamically resize the debug log
buffer from it's default 64kB size. The buffer is now dynamically
allocated.
It adds a new API virLogSetBufferSize() which resizes the buffer
If passed a zero size, the buffer is deallocated and we do the small
optimization of not formatting messages which are not output anymore.
On the daemon side, it just adds a new option log_buffer_size to
libvirtd.conf and call virLogSetBufferSize() if needed

Not all applications have an existing event loop they need
to integrate with. Forcing them to implement the libvirt
event loop integration APIs is an undue burden. This just
exposes our simple poll() based implementation for apps
to use. So instead of calling

The app would call
virEventRegisterDefaultImpl()

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).

Add a hook to the error reporting APIs to allow specific

src/util/virterror_internal.h: Hook for changing error

This reverts the additions in commit
abff683f78
taking us back to state where all errors are fully logged
in both libvirtd and normal clients.
THe intent was to stop VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN (No such domain
with UUID XXXX) messages from client apps polluting syslog
The change affected all error codes, but more seriously,
it also impacted errors from internal libvirtd infrastructure
For example guest autostart no longer logged errors. The
libvirtd network code no longer logged some errors. This
makes debugging incredibly hard
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Remove error log priority filter
* src/util/virterror.c, src/util/virterror_internal.h: Remove
callback for overriding log priority
A need was found to set the SELinux context label on an open fd (a
pipe, as a matter of fact). This patch adds a function to the security
driver API that will set the label on an open fd to secdef.label. For
all drivers other than the SELinux driver, it's a NOP. For the SElinux
driver, it calls fsetfilecon().
If the return is a failure, it only returns error up to the caller if
1) the desired label is different from the existing label, 2) the
destination fd is of a type that supports setting the selinux context,
and 3) selinux is in enforcing mode. Otherwise it will return
success. This follows the pattern of the existing function
SELinuxSetFilecon().
The public object is called NWFilter but the corresponding private
object is called NWFilterPool. I don't see compelling reasons for this
Pool suffix. One might argue that an NWFilter is a "pool" of rules, etc.
Remove the Pool suffix from NWFilterPool. No functional change included.
It was awkward having only int conversion in the virStrToLong family,
but only long conversion in the virXPath family. Make both families

The current security driver usage requires horrible code like
if (driver->securityDriver &&
driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel &&
driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel(driver->securityDriver,
vm, hostdev) < 0)
This pair of checks for NULL clutters up the code, making the driver
calls 2 lines longer than they really need to be. The goal of the
patchset is to change the calling convention to simply
if (virSecurityManagerSetHostdevLabel(driver->securityDriver,
vm, hostdev) < 0)
The first check for 'driver->securityDriver' being NULL is removed
by introducing a 'no op' security driver that will always be present
if no real driver is enabled. This guarentees driver->securityDriver
!= NULL.
The second check for 'driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel'
being non-NULL is hidden in a new abstraction called virSecurityManager.
This separates the driver callbacks, from main internal API. The addition
of a virSecurityManager object, that is separate from the virSecurityDriver
struct also allows for security drivers to carry state / configuration
information directly. Thus the DAC/Stack drivers from src/qemu which
used to pull config from 'struct qemud_driver' can now be moved into
the 'src/security' directory and store their config directly.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Update to

New internal API for invoking security drivers
* src/libvirt.c: Add missing debug for security APIs
These functions work only for IPv4, becasue IPv6 doesn't have the same
concept of "broadcast address" as IPv4. They merely OR the inverse of
the netmask with the given host address, thus turning on all the host
bits.
virSetUIDGID() sets both the real and effective group and user of the
process, and additionally calls initgroups() to assure that the
process joins all the auxiliary groups that the given uid is a member
of.
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.
Later patches will add the possibility to define a network's netmask
as a prefix (0-32, or 0-128 in the case of IPv6). To make it easier to
deal with definition of both kinds (prefix or netmask), add two new
functions:
virNetworkDefNetmask: return a copy of the netmask into a
virSocketAddr. If no netmask was specified in the XML, create a
default netmask based on the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address.
virNetworkDefPrefix: return the netmask as numeric prefix (or the
default prefix for the network class of the virNetworkDef's IP
address, if no netmask was specified in the XML)
virSocketPrefixToNetmask: Given a 'prefix', which is the number of 1
bits in a netmask, fill in a virSocketAddr object with a netmask as an
IP address (IPv6 or IPv4).
virSocketAddrMask: Mask off the host bits in one virSocketAddr
according to the netmask in another virSocketAddr.
virSocketAddrMaskByPrefix, Mask off the host bits in a virSocketAddr
according to a prefix (number of 1 bits in netmask).
VIR_SOCKET_FAMILY: return the family of a virSocketAddr

Use macvtap specific functions depending on WITH_MACVTAP.

Also export virVMOperationType{To|From}String unconditional,
because they are used unconditional in the domain config code.
This reverts commit
Log all errors at level INFO to stop polluting syslog

and makes virRaiseErrorFull() log errors at debug priority
when called from inside libvirtd. This stops libvirtd from
polluting it's own log with client errors at error priority

Do this by adding a helper function to get the persistent domain config. This
should be useful for other functions that may eventually want to alter
the persistent domain config (attach/detach device). Also make similar changes
to the test drivers setvcpus command.
A caveat is that the function will return the running config for a transient
domain, rather than error. This simplifies callers, as long as they use
other methods to ensure the guest is persistent.
This function sets the running domain definition as transient, by reparsing
the persistent config and assigning it to newDef. This ensures that any
changes made to the running definition and not the persistent config are
discarded when the VM is shutdown.
Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().
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.

To avoid the need for duplicating implementations of virStream
drivers, provide a generic implementation that can handle any

The libvirt_util.la library was mistakenly linked into libvirtd
directly. Since libvirt_util.la is already linked to libvirt.so,
this resulted in libvirtd getting two copies of the code and
more critically 2 copies of static global variables.
Testing in turn exposed a issue with loadable modules. The
gnulib replacement functions are not exported to loadable
modules. Rather than trying to figure out the name sof all
gnulib functions & export them, just linkage all loadable
modules against libgnu.la statically.

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).
This enables support for nested SVM using the regular CPU
model/features block. If the CPU model or features include
'svm', then the '-enable-nesting' flag will be added to the
QEMU command line. Latest out of tree patches for nested
'vmx', no longer require the '-enable-nesting' flag. They
instead just look at the cpu features. Several of the models
already include svm support, but QEMU was just masking out
the svm bit silently. So this will enable SVM on such
models

This is from a bug report and conversation on IRC where Soren reported that while a filter update is occurring on one or more VMs (due to a rule having been edited for example), a deadlock can occur when a VM referencing a filter is started.
The problem is caused by the two locking sequences of
qemu driver, qemu domain, filter # for the VM start operation
filter, qemu_driver, qemu_domain # for the filter update operation
that obviously don't lock in the same order. The problem is the 2nd lock sequence. Here the qemu_driver lock is being grabbed in qemu_driver:qemudVMFilterRebuild()
The following solution is based on the idea of trying to re-arrange the 2nd sequence of locks as follows:
qemu_driver, filter, qemu_driver, qemu_domain
and making the qemu driver recursively lockable so that a second lock can occur, this would then lead to the following net-locking sequence
qemu_driver, filter, qemu_domain
where the 2nd qemu_driver lock has been ( logically ) eliminated.
The 2nd part of the idea is that the sequence of locks (filter, qemu_domain) and (qemu_domain, filter) becomes interchangeable if all code paths where filter AND qemu_domain are locked have a preceding qemu_domain lock that basically blocks their concurrent execution
So, the following code paths exist towards qemu_driver:qemudVMFilterRebuild where we now want to put a qemu_driver lock in front of the filter lock.
-> nwfilterUndefine() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTestUnassignDef()
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDefine()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDriverReload()
-> virNWFilterPoolLoadAllConfigs()
->virNWFilterPoolObjLoad()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
-> nwfilterDriverStartup()
-> virNWFilterPoolLoadAllConfigs()
->virNWFilterPoolObjLoad()
-> virNWFilterPoolAssignDef() [ locks the filter ]
-> virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild()
-> qemudVMFilterRebuild()
Qemu is not the only driver using the nwfilter driver, but also the UML driver calls into it. Therefore qemuVMFilterRebuild() can be exchanged with umlVMFilterRebuild() along with the driver lock of qemu_driver that can now be a uml_driver. Further, since UML and Qemu domains can be running on the same machine, the triggering of a rebuild of the filter can touch both types of drivers and their domains.
In the patch below I am now extending each nwfilter callback driver with functions for locking and unlocking the (VM) driver (UML, QEMU) and introduce new functions for locking all registered callback drivers and unlocking them. Then I am distributing the lock-all-cbdrivers/unlock-all-cbdrivers call into the above call paths. The last shown callpath starting with nwfilterDriverStart() is problematic since it is initialize before the Qemu and UML drives are and thus a lock in the path would result in a NULL pointer attempted to be locked -- the call to virNWFilterTriggerVMFilterRebuild() is never called, so we never lock either the qemu_driver or the uml_driver in that path. Therefore, only the first 3 paths now receive calls to lock and unlock all callback drivers. Now that the locks are distributed where it matters I can remove the qemu_driver and uml_driver lock from qemudVMFilterRebuild() and umlVMFilterRebuild() and not requiring the recursive locks.
For now I want to put this out as an RFC patch. I have tested it by 'stretching' the critical section after the define/undefine functions each lock the filter so I can (easily) concurrently execute another VM operation (suspend,start). That code is in this patch and if you want you can de-activate it. It seems to work ok and operations are being blocked while the update is being done.
I still also want to verify the other assumption above that locking filter and qemu_domain always has a preceding qemu_driver lock.
Other drivers will need this same functionality, so move it to up to
conf/domain_conf.c and give it a more general name.

This patch attempts to take advantage of a newly added netfilter
module to correct for a problem with some guest DHCP client
implementations when used in conjunction with a DHCP server run on the
host systems with packet checksum offloading enabled.
The problem is that, when the guest uses a RAW socket to read the DHCP
response packets, the checksum hasn't yet been fixed by the IP stack,
so it is incorrect.
The fix implemented here is to add a rule to the POSTROUTING chain of
the mangle table in iptables that fixes up the checksum for packets on
the virtual network's bridge that are destined for the bootpc port (ie
"dhcpc", ie port 68) port on the guest.
Only very new versions of iptables will have this support (it will be
in the next upstream release), so a failure to add this rule only
results in a warning message. The iptables patch is here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/58525/
A corresponding kernel module patch is also required (the backend of
the iptables patch) and that will be in the next release of the
kernel.
Add the library entry point for the new virDomainQemuMonitorCommand()
entry point. Because this is not part of the "normal" libvirt API,
it gets its own header file, library file, and will eventually
get its own over-the-wire protocol later in the series.
Changes since v1:
- Go back to using the virDriver table for qemuDomainMonitorCommand, due to
linking issues
- Added versioning information to the libvirt-qemu.so
Changes since v2:
- None
Changes since v3:
- Add LGPL header to libvirt-qemu.c
- Make virLibConnError and virLibDomainError macros instead of function calls
Changes since v4:
- Move exported symbols to libvirt_qemu.syms

To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device
<memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>
It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.
The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing

balloon device to Xen/QEMU if none exists in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export memballoon model APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Honour the
PCI device address in memory balloon device
* tests/*: Update to test new functionality
There is duplicated code which iterates over disk backing stores
performing some action. Provide a convenient helper for doing
this to eliminate duplication & risk of mistakes with disk format
probing
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefForeachPath()
The virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD did two jobs in one. First
it probed for storage type, then it extracted metadata for the
type. It is desirable to be able to separate these jobs, allowing
probing without querying metadata, and querying metadata without
probing.
To prepare for this, split out probing code into a new pair of
methods
virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD
virStorageFileProbeFormat
* src/util/storage_file.c, src/util/storage_file.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Introduce virStorageFileProbeFormat
and virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD
The parallel, serial, console and channel devices are all just
character devices. A lot of code needs todo the same thing to
all these devices. This provides an convenient API for iterating
over all of them.

Following Daniel Berrange's multiple helpful suggestions for improving
this patch and introducing another driver interface, I now wrote the
below patch where the nwfilter driver registers the functions to
instantiate and teardown the nwfilters with a function in
conf/domain_nwfilter.c called virDomainConfNWFilterRegister. Previous
helper functions that were called from qemu_driver.c and qemu_conf.c
were move into conf/domain_nwfilter.h with slight renaming done for
consistency. Those functions now call the function expored by
domain_nwfilter.c, which in turn call the functions of the new driver
interface, if available.
The network driver is not doing correct checking for
duplicate UUID/name values. This introduces a new method
virNetworkObjIsDuplicate, based on the previously
written virDomainObjIsDuplicate.

This patch that adds support for configuring 802.1Qbg and 802.1Qbh
switches. The 802.1Qbh part has been successfully tested with real
hardware. The 802.1Qbg part has only been tested with a (dummy)
server that 'behaves' similarly to how we expect lldpad to 'behave'.
The following changes were made during the development of this patch:
- Merging Scott's v13-pre1 patch
- Fixing endptr related bug while using virStrToLong_ui() pointed out
by Jim Meyering
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments to v11
- requiring mac address to the vpDisassociateProfileId() function to
pass it further to the 802.1Qbg disassociate part (802.1Qbh untouched)
- determining pid of lldpad daemon by reading it from /var/run/libvirt.pid
(hardcode as is hardcode alson in lldpad sources)
- merging netlink send code for kernel target and user space target
(lldpad) using one function nlComm() to send the messages
- adding a select() after the sending and before the reading of the
netlink response in case lldpad doesn't respond and so we don't hang
- when reading the port status, in case of 802.1Qbg, no status may be
received while things are 'in progress' and only at the end a status
will be there.
- when reading the port status, use the given instanceId and vf to pick
the right IFLA_VF_PORT among those nested under IFLA_VF_PORTS.
- never sending nor parsing IFLA_PORT_SELF type of messages in the
802.1Qbg case
- iterating over the elements in a IFLA_VF_PORTS to pick the right
IFLA_VF_PORT by either IFLA_PORT_PROFILE and given profileId
(802.1Qbh) or IFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID and given instanceId (802.1Qbg)
and reading the current status in IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
- recycling a previous patch that adds functionality to interface.c to
- get the vlan identifier on an interface
- get the flags of an interface and some convenience function to
check whether an interface is 'up' or not (not currently used here)
- adding function to determine the root physical interface of an
interface. For example if a macvtap is linked to eth0.100, it will
find eth0. Also adding a function that finds the vlan on the 'way to
the root physical interface'
- conveying the root physical interface name and index in case of 802.1Qbg
- conveying mac address of macvlan device and vlan identifier in
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST[ IFLA_VF_INFO[ IFLA_VF_MAC(mac), IFLA_VF_VLAN(vlan) ] ]
to (future) lldpad via netlink
- To enable build with --without-macvtap rename the
[dis|]associatePortProfileId functions, prepend 'vp' before their
name and make them non-static functions.
- Renaming variable multicast to nltarget_kernel and inverting
the logic
- Addressing Jim Meyering's comments; this also touches existing
code for example for correcting indentation of break statements or
simplification of switch statements.
- Renamed occurrencvirVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParamses
- 802.1Qbg part prepared for sending a RTM_SETLINK and getting
processing status back plus a subsequent RTM_GETLINK to
get IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE.
Note: This interface for 802.1Qbg may still change
- [David Allan] move getPhysfn inside IFLA_VF_PORT_MAX to avoid
compiler
warning when latest if_link.h isn't available
- move from Stefan's 802.1Qb{g|h} XML v8 to v9
- move hostuuid and vf index calcs to inside doPortProfileOp8021Qbh
- remove debug fprintfs
- use virGetHostUUID (thanks Stefan!)
- fix compile issue when latest if_link.h isn't available
- change poll timeout to 10s, at 1/8 intervals
- if polling times out, log msg and return -ETIMEDOUT
- Add Stefan's code for getPortProfileStatus
- Poll for up to 2 secs for port-profile status, at 1/8 sec intervals:
- if status indicates error, abort openMacvtapTap
- if status indicates success, exit polling
- if status is "in-progress" after 2 secs of polling, exit
polling loop silently, without error
My patch finishes out the 802.1Qbh parts, which Stefan had mostly complete.
I've tested using the recent kernel updates for VF_PORT netlink msgs and
enic for Cisco's 10G Ethernet NIC. I tested many VMs, each with several
direct interfaces, each configured with a port-profile per the XML. VM-to-VM,
and VM-to-external work as expected. VM-to-VM on same host (using same NIC)
works same as VM-to-VM where VMs are on diff hosts. I'm able to change
settings on the port-profile while the VM is running to change the virtual
port behaviour. For example, adjusting a QoS setting like rate limit. All
VMs with interfaces using that port-profile immediatly see the effect of the
change to the port-profile.
I don't have a SR-IOV device to test so source dev is a non-SR-IOV device,
but most of the code paths include support for specifing the source dev and
VF index. We'll need to complete this by discovering the PF given the VF
linkdev. Once we have the PF, we'll also have the VF index. All this info-
mation is available from sysfs.
We've been running into a lot of situations where
virGetHostname() is returning "localhost", where a plain
gethostname() would have returned the correct thing. This
is because virGetHostname() is *always* trying to canonicalize
the name returned from gethostname(), even when it doesn't
have to.
This patch changes virGetHostname so that if the value returned
from gethostname() is already FQDN or localhost, it returns
that string directly. If the value returned from gethostname()
is a shortened hostname, then we try to canonicalize it. If
that succeeds, we returned the canonicalized hostname. If
that fails, and/or returns "localhost", then we just return
the original string we got from gethostname() and hope for
the best.
Note that after this patch it is up to clients to check whether
"localhost" is an allowed return value. The only place
where it's currently not is in qemu migration.

When QEMU runs with its disk on NFS, and as a non-root user, the
disk is chownd to that non-root user. When migration completes
the last step is shutting down the QEMU on the source host. THis
normally resets user/group/security label. This is bad when the
VM was just migrated because the file is still in use on the dest
host. It is thus neccessary to skip the reset step for any files
found to be on a shared filesystem

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR_REASON
This event is the same as the previous VIR_DOMAIN_ID_IO_ERROR
event, but also includes a string describing the cause of
the event.
Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventIOErrorReasonCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
const char *srcPath,
const char *devAlias,
int action,
const char *reason,
void *opaque);

Changes from v1 to v2:
- changed function name prefixes to 'iface' from previous 'Iface'
- Further to make make syntax-check pass:
- indentation fix in interface.h
- added entry to POTFILES.in
I am consolidating network interface related functions used in nwfilter
and macvtap code in utils/interface.c. All function names are prefixed
with 'Iface'. The following functions are now available through
interface.h:
int ifaceCtrl(const char *name, bool up);
int ifaceUp(const char *name);
int ifaceDown(const char *name);
int ifaceCheck(bool reportError, const char *ifname,
const unsigned char *macaddr, int ifindex);
int ifaceGetIndex(bool reportError, const char *ifname, int *ifindex);
I added 'int ifindex' as parameter to ifaceCheck to the original
function and modified the code accordingly.
This patch implements support for learning a VM's IP address. It uses
the pcap library to listen on the VM's backend network interface (tap)
or the physical ethernet device (macvtap) and tries to capture packets
with source or destination MAC address of the VM and learn from DHCP
Offers, ARP traffic, or first-sent IPv4 packet what the IP address of
the VM's interface is. This then allows to instantiate the network
traffic filtering rules without the user having to provide the IP
parameter somewhere in the filter description or in the interface
description as a parameter. This only supports to detect the parameter
IP, which is for the assumed single IPv4 address of a VM. There is not
support for interfaces that may have multiple IP addresses (IP
aliasing) or IPv6 that may then require more than one valid IP address
to be detected. A VM can have multiple independent interfaces that each
uses a different IP address and in that case it will be attempted to
detect each one of the address independently.
So, when for example an interface description in the domain XML has
looked like this up to now:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='IP' value='10.2.3.4'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
you may omit the IP parameter:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
Internally I am walking the 'tree' of a VM's referenced network filters
and determine with the given variables which variables are missing. Now,
the above IP parameter may be missing and this causes a libvirt-internal
thread to be started that uses the pcap library's API to listen to the
backend interface (in case of macvtap to the physical interface) in an
attempt to determine the missing IP parameter. If the backend interface
disappears the thread terminates assuming the VM was brought down. In
case of a macvtap device a timeout is being used to wait for packets
from the given VM (filtering by VM's interface MAC address). If the VM's
macvtap device disappeared the thread also terminates. In all other
cases it tries to determine the IP address of the VM and will then apply
the rules late on the given interface, which would have happened
immediately if the IP parameter had been explicitly given. In case an
error happens while the firewall rules are applied, the VM's backend
interface is 'down'ed preventing it to communicate. Reasons for failure
for applying the network firewall rules may that an ebtables/iptables
command failes or OOM errors. Essentially the same failure reasons may
occur as when the firewall rules are applied immediately on VM start,
except that due to the late application of the filtering rules the VM
now is already running and cannot be hindered anymore from starting.
Bringing down the whole VM would probably be considered too drastic.
While a VM's IP address is attempted to be determined only limited
updates to network filters are allowed. In particular it is prevented
that filters are modified in such a way that they would introduce new
variables.
A caveat: The algorithm does not know which one is the appropriate IP
address of a VM. If the VM spoofs an IP address in its first ARP traffic
or IPv4 packets its filtering rules will be instantiated for this IP
address, thus 'locking' it to the found IP address. So, it's still
'safer' to explicitly provide the IP address of a VM's interface in the
filter description if it is known beforehand.

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".

virParseVersionString uses virStrToLong_ui instead of sscanf.
