f8f29b1fc2 Add wide SCSI bus disk address generation support
The domain XML parsing code autogenerates disk address and
controller elements when they are not explicitly specified.
The code assumes a narrow SCSI bus (7 units per bus). ESX
uses a wide SCSI bus (16 units per bus).

This is a step towards controller support for the ESX driver.

cab5a52aa2 nwfilter: fix loadable module support
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.

51d3fb0276 nwfilter: add XML attribute to control iptables state match
This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).

[...]
<rule action='accept' direction='in' statematch='false'>
<tcp srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'
           srcipaddr='10.1.2.3' srcipmask='32'
           dscp='33'
           srcportstart='20' srcportend='21'
           dstportstart='100' dstportend='1111'/>
</rule>
[...]

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.

f4f91e7b24 Fix auto-adding of virtio serial controllers
The domain parsing code would auto-add a virtio serial controller
if it saw any virtio serial channel defined. Unfortunately it
always added a controller with index=0, even if the channel address
specified an index != 0. It only added one controller, even if
multiple controllers were referenced by channels. Finally, it let
the ports+vectors parameters initialize to zero instead of -1, which
prevented the controllers accepting any ports.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Initialize ports+vectors when adding
  virtio serial controllers. Add all neccessary virtio serial
  controllers, instead of hardcoding controller 0
* qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args,

ca1b7cc8e4 macvtap: cannot support target device name
Since the macvtap device needs active tear-down and the teardown logic
is based on the interface name, it can happen that if for example 1 out
of 3 interfaces was successfully created, that during the failure path
the macvtap's target device name is used to tear down an interface that
is doesn't own (owned by another VM).

So, in this patch, the target interface name is reset so that there is
no target interface name and the interface name is always cleared after
a tear down.

a8f75d2c7d vepa: parsing for 802.1Qb{g|h} XML
This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().

   <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
        <parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
         instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
      </virtualport>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
    </interface>

    <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
        <parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
      </virtualport>
    </interface>

I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.

Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
  as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
 - removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
   moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
   and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
   macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
  - indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
    properly
  - parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
    parameter '0' for base
  - tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
    to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
  only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
  in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
  will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
  file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
  for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
  this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
  where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
  all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
  we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
  here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
  - adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
  - added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
  functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
  for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
  (802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
  802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
  necessary to use (for SR-IOV)

a7fb2258ca storage: Sanitize pool target paths
Spurious / in a pool target path makes life difficult for apps using the
GetVolByPath, and doing other path based comparisons with pools. This
has caused a few issues for virt-manager users:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494005
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593565

Add a new util API which removes spurious /, virFileSanitizePath. Sanitize
target paths when parsing pool XML, and for paths passed to GetVolByPath.

v2: Leading // must be preserved, properly sanitize path=/, sanitize
    away /./ -> /

v3: Properly handle starting ./ and ending /.

v4: Drop all '.' handling, just sanitize / for now.

34dcbbb470 Add support for another explicit IO error event
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);

aea68ce906 nwfilter: add support for RAPR protocol
This patch adds support for the RARP protocol. This may be needed due to
qemu sending out a RARP packet (at least that's what it seems to want to
do even though the protocol id is wrong) when migration finishes and
we'd need a rule to let the packets pass.

Unfortunately my installation of ebtables does not understand -p RARP
and also seems to otherwise depend on strings in /etc/ethertype
translated to protocol identifiers. Therefore I need to pass -p 0x8035
for RARP. To generally get rid of the dependency of that file I switch
all so far supported protocols to use their protocol identifier in the
-p parameter rather than the string.

I am also extending the schema and added a test case.

changes from v1 to v2:
- added test case into patch

3bf24abc8c nwfilter: Support for learning a VM's IP address
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.

3c8877e743 domain_event.c: don't deref NULL on an OOM error path
* src/conf/domain_event.c (virDomainEventGraphicsNewFromDom):
Return NULL when handling out-of-memory error, rather than
falling through with ev=NULL and then assigning to ev->member.
(virDomainEventGraphicsNewFromObj): Likewise.
