virt-install and virt-manager both default to explicitly setting
"io='native'" in the disk "driver" tag. virsh, however, does not and also
does not provide an option to specify that setting at all. As a result,
disks use a different IO mechanism (the default, "threads") when attached
post-setup using virsh. Adding this option allows users to keep disk
performance consistent for disks attached at install, and those attached
afterward.

The virsh command 'domblkinfo' returns the capacity, allocation and phisycal
size of the devices attached in a domain. Usually, this sizes are very big
and hard to understand and calculate. This commits introduce a human readable
support to check the size of each field easilly.
For example, the command before:
virsh # domblkinfo my_domain hda
Capacity: 21474836480
Allocation: 14875545600
Physical: 21474836480
and after this patch:
virsh # domblkinfo my_domain hda --human
Capacity: 20.000G
Allocation: 13.900G
Physical: 20.000G

Rather than have the Disk code having to use PARTED to determine if
there's something on the device, let's use the virStorageBackendDeviceProbe.
and only fallback to the PARTED probing if the BLKID code isn't built in.
This will also provide a mechanism for the other current caller (File
System Backend) to utilize a PARTED parsing algorithm in the event that
BLKID isn't built in to at least see if *something* exists on the disk
before blindly trying to use. The PARTED error checking will not find
file system types, but if there is a partition table set on the device,
it will at least cause a failure.
Move virStorageBackendDiskValidLabel and virStorageBackendDiskFindLabel
to storage_backend and rename/rework the code to fit the new model.
Update the virsh.pod description to provide a more generic description
of the process since we could now use either blkid or parted to find

Commit id '27758859' introduced the "NO_OVERWRITE" flag check for
file system backends; however, the implementation, documentation,
and algorithm was inconsistent. For the "flag" description for the
API the flag was described as "Do not overwrite existing pool";
however, within the storage backend code the flag is described
as "it probes to determine if filesystem already exists on the
target device, renurning an error if exists".
The code itself was implemented using the paradigm to set up the
superblock probe by creating a filter that would cause the code
to only search for the provided format type. If that type wasn't
found, then the algorithm would return success allowing the caller
to format the device. If the format type already existed on the
device, then the code would fail indicating that the a filesystem
of the same type existed on the device.
The result is that if someone had a file system of one type on the
device, it was possible to overwrite it if a different format type
was specified in updated XML effectively trashing whatever was on
the device already.
This patch alters what NO_OVERWRITE does for a file system backend
to be more realistic and consistent with what should be expected when
the caller requests to not overwrite the data on the disk.
Rather than filter results based on the expected format type, the
code will allow success/failure be determined solely on whether the
blkid_do_probe calls finds some known format on the device. This
adjustment also allows removal of the virStoragePoolProbeResult
enum that was under utilized.
If it does find a formatted file system different errors will be
generated indicating a file system of a specific type already exists
or a file system of some other type already exists.
In the original virsh support commit id 'ddcd5674', the description
for '--no-overwrite' within the 'pool-build' command help output
has an ambiguous "of this type" included in the short description.
Compared to the longer description within the "Build a given pool."
section of the virsh.pod file it's more apparent that the meaning
of this flag would cause failure if a probe of the target already
has a filesystem.
So this patch also modifies the short description to just be the
antecedent of the 'overwrite' flag, which matches the API description.
This patch also modifies the grammar in virsh.pod for no-overwrite
as well as reworking the paragraph formats to make it easier to read.

In the pre-NUMA ages pinning a vCPU to all pCPUs was eaqual to deleting
the pinning info. Now it does not entirely work that way. Pinning a vCPU
to all pCPUs might be a desired operation. Additionally removal of the
pinning will result into using the default pinning information at the
next boot which might be different from all vcpus.
This patch removes the false assumption that we should remove the
pinning after pinning to all vCPUs and tweaks the documentation for
virsh.
A later patch will implement a new flag for the virDomainPinVcpuFlags

Add to the man page a more complete description of what exactly the
command expects on input and will return on output based on what is
currently supported.
Perhaps missing findPoolSources implementations are backends for
sheepdog and rbd. Also missing any backend is zfs.

Modify the virsh man page to more accurately describe which values are
set by the virsh setmem and displayed by the virsh memtune or dominfo
based on the setmem command results.
NUMA enabled guest configuration explicitly specifies memory sizes for
individual nodes. Allowing the virDomainSetMemoryFlags API (and friends)
to change the total doesn't make sense as the individual node configs
are not updated in that case.
Forbid use of the API in case NUMA is specified.
The description of the virsh command 'cpu-models' was written in the
wrong context (i.e. beside the domain states).
This patch moves the command description just to the cpu related
commands like 'cpu-baseline' and 'cpu-compare'.

Our hotplug code supports macvtap insertion to guests. However, we
somehow forgot about 'attach-interface' (which tries to build XML from
passed arguments and use virDomainAttachDeviceFlags()).
New type is accessible under 'direct' type, to keep the same type as
used in domain XML.

Adding ccw bus address support to the optional address parameter of virsh
attach-disk. The format used is ccw:cssid. ssid.devno, e.g.
ccw:0xfe.0x0.0x0201
Virtio-ccw devices must have their cssid set to 0xfe.

Add support for --reflink to the virsh 'vol-create-from' and 'vol-clone'
commands to signify usage of the VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_REFLINK flag in the
ensuing virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom API call.
Updated the man page to describe the new flag.

--live and --config can't be specified together when querying the
configuration, but are valid when setting. The man page was hinting that
they are valid always.

If the provided volume name doesn't match what parted generated as the
partition name, then return a failure.
Update virsh.pod and formatstorage.html.in to describe the 'name' restriction
for disk pools as well as the usage of the <target>'s <format type='value'>.
Now that xenconfig supports parsing and formatting Xen's
XL config format, integrate it into the libxl driver's
connectDomainXML{From,To}Native functions.

The 'pool-build' command description for --overwrite and --no-overwrite
indicated usage for only 'filesystem' pools; however, the 'disk' pool
also supports the flags as of commit id 'afa1029a'. So add a description
for that usage.

This patch introduces access to allocation information about
a backing chain of a live domain. While querying storage
volumes for read-only disks could provide some of the details,
we do NOT want to read() a file while qemu is writing it.
Also, there is one case where we have to rely on qemu: when
doing a block commit into a backing file, where that file is
stored in qcow2 format on a host block device, we want to know
the current highest write offset into that image, in order to
know if the disk must be resized larger. qemu-img does not
(currently) show this information, and none of the earlier
block APIs were extensible enough to expose it. But
virDomainListGetStats is perfect for the job!
We don't need a new group of statistics, as the existing block
group is sufficient. On the other hand, as existing libvirt
releases already report 1:1 mapping of block.count to <disk>
devices, changing the array size could confuse older clients;
and even with newer clients, the time and memory taken to
report additional statistics is not always necessary (backing
files are generally read-only except for block-commit, so while
read statistics may change, sizing statistics will not). So
the choice here is to add a new flag that only newer callers
will pass, when they are prepared for the additional information.
This patch introduces the new API, but it will take more
patches to get it implemented for qemu.
