29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.

A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.

A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.

In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

  <disk type='network'>
    ...
    <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
      <host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
    </source>
  </disk>

To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.

78290b1641 qemu: add rbd to whitelist of migration-safe formats
QEMU (and librbd) flush the cache on the source before the
destination starts, and the destination does not read any
changeable data before that, so live migration with rbd caching
is safe.

This makes 'virsh migrate' work with rbd and caching without the
--unsafe flag.

0ac3baee2c Fix vm's outbound traffic control problem
Hello,

This is a patch to fix vm's outbound traffic control problem.

Currently, vm's outbound traffic control by libvirt doesn't go well.
This problem was previously discussed at libvir-list ML, however
it seems that there isn't still any answer to the problem.
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg00333.html

I measured Guest(with virtio-net) to Host TCP throughput with the
command "netperf -H".
Here are the outbound QoS parameters and the results.

outbound average rate[kilobytes/s] : Guest to Host throughput[Mbit/s]
======================================================================
1024  (8Mbit/s)                    : 4.56
2048  (16Mbit/s)                   : 3.29
4096  (32Mbit/s)                   : 3.35
8192  (64Mbit/s)                   : 3.95
16384 (128Mbit/s)                  : 4.08
32768 (256Mbit/s)                  : 3.94
65536 (512Mbit/s)                  : 3.23

The outbound traffic goes down unreasonably and is even not controled.

The cause of this problem is too large mtu value in "tc filter" command run by
libvirt. The command uses burst value to set mtu and the burst is equal to
average rate value if it's not set. This value is too large. For example
if the average rate is set to 1024 kilobytes/s, the mtu value is set to 1024
kilobytes. That's too large compared to the size of network packets.
Here libvirt applies tc ingress filter to Host's vnet(tun) device.
Tc ingress filter is implemented with TBF(Token Buckets Filter) algorithm. TBF
uses mtu value to calculate the amount of token consumed by each packet. With too
large mtu value, the token consumption rate is set too large. This leads to
token starvation and deterioration of TCP throughput.

Then, should we use the default mtu value 2 kilobytes?
The anser is No, because Guest with virtio-net device uses 65536 bytes
as mtu to transmit packets to Host, and the tc filter with the default mtu
value 2k drops packets whose size is larger than 2k. So, the most packets
is droped and again leads to deterioration of TCP throughput.

The appropriate mtu value is 65536 bytes which is equal to the maximum value
of network interface device defined in <linux/netdevice.h>. The value is
not so large that it causes token starvation and not so small that it
drops most packets.
Therefore this patch set the mtu value to 64kb(== 65535 bytes).

Again, here are the outbound QoS parameters and the TCP throughput with
the libvirt patched.

outbound average rate[kilobytes/s] : Guest to Host throughput[Mbit/s]
======================================================================
1024  (8Mbit/s)                    : 8.22
2048  (16Mbit/s)                   : 16.42
4096  (32Mbit/s)                   : 32.93
8192  (64Mbit/s)                   : 66.85
16384 (128Mbit/s)                  : 133.88
32768 (256Mbit/s)                  : 271.01
65536 (512Mbit/s)                  : 547.32

The outbound traffic conforms to the given limit.

7508338ff3 Fix for parallel port passthrough for QEMU
I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.

It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0

The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".

If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.

I have already filled a bug report (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ), the topic was
already on the list some months ago:

 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators

a02500d010 qemu: Make migration fail when port profile association fails on the dst host
In the current V3 migration protocol, Libvirt does not
check the result of the function

  qemuMigrationVPAssociatePortProfiles

This means that it is possible for a migration to complete
successfully even when the VM loses network connectivity on
the destination host.

With this change libvirt aborts the migration
(during the "finish" step) when the above function fails, that
is to say when at least one of the port profile associations fails.

cff5573da2 virterror: Misleading error message when name is missing
[forwarding this here from RH bug #796732]

When creating a network (virsh net-create) with an erroneous XML
containing an empty <name> element, the error message is misleading:

error: Failed to create network from foo.xml
error: missing domain name information

It took me a bit of time to figure out that it was the *network* name
that was missing (I generate this xml and didn't look at it, first).

I realized that the same message is used for missing name when creating
a domain, network, or device node.

df81004632 network: support Open vSwitch
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
      <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
        <parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
      </virtualport>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                          slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
      <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
      </virtualport>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                          slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:

   <interface type='bridge'>
     <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
     <mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
     <virtualport type='openvswitch'>

                   profileid='test-profile'/>

d19149dda8 virCommandProcessIO(): make poll() usage more robust
POLLIN and POLLHUP are not mutually exclusive. Currently the following
seems possible: the child writes 3K to its stdout or stderr pipe, and
immediately closes it. We get POLLIN|POLLHUP (I'm not sure that's possible
on Linux, but SUSv4 seems to allow it). We read 1K and throw away the
rest.

When poll() returns and we're about to check the /revents/ member in a
given array element, let's map all the revents bits to two (independent)
ideas: "let's attempt to read()", and "let's attempt to write()". This
should cover all errors, EOFs, and normal conditions; the read()/write()
call should report any pending error.

Under this approach, both POLLHUP and POLLERR are mapped to "needs read()"
if we're otherwise prepared for POLLIN. POLLERR also maps to "needs
write()" if we're otherwise prepared for POLLOUT. The rest of the mappings
(POLLPRI etc.) would be easy, but probably useless for pipes.

Additionally, SUSv4 doesn't appear to forbid POLLIN|POLLERR (or
POLLOUT|POLLERR) set simultaneously. One could argue that the read() or
write() call would return without blocking in these cases (with an error),
so POLLIN / POLLOUT would be justified beside POLLERR.

The code now penalizes POLLIN|POLLERR differently from plain POLLERR. The
former (ie. read() returning -1) is terminal and we jump to cleanup, while
plain POLLERR masks only the affected file descriptor for the future.
Let's unify those.
