6ac81c8ec8 blkiotune: add interface for blkiotune.device_weight
This adds per-device weights to <blkiotune>.  Note that the
cgroups implementation only supports weights per block device,
and not per-file within the device; hence this option must be
global to the domain definition rather than tied to individual
<devices>/<disk> entries:

<domain ...>
  <blkiotune>
    <device>
      <path>/path/to/block</path>
      <weight>1000</weight>
    </device>
  </blkiotune>
..

This patch also adds a parameter --device-weights to virsh command
blkiotune for setting/getting blkiotune.weight_device for any
hypervisor that supports it.  All <device> entries under
<blkiotune> are concatenated into a single string attribute under
virDomain{Get,Set}BlkioParameters, named "device_weight".

302743f177 Add 'Hybrid-Suspend' power management discovery for the host
Some systems support a feature known as 'Hybrid-Suspend', apart from the

e352b16400 Export KVM Host Power Management capabilities
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.

The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.

However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.

To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.

8951328619 Extend NWFilter parameter parser to cope with lists of values
This patch modifies the NWFilter parameter parser to support multiple
elements with the same name and to internally build a list of items.
An example of the XML looks like this:

        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.2.3'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.2.3.4'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.1.1'/>

The list of values is then stored in the newly introduced data type
virNWFilterVarValue.

The XML formatter is also adapted to print out all items in alphabetical
order sorted by 'name'.

This patch also fixes a bug in the XML schema on the way.

ea7c73a76f Enable chains with names having a known prefix
This patch enables chains that have a known prefix in their name.
Known prefixes are: 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'arp', 'rarp'. All prefixes
are also protocols that can be evaluated on the ebtables level.

Following the prefix they will be automatically connected to an interface's
'root' chain and jumped into following the protocol they evaluate, i.e.,
a table 'arp-xyz' will be accessed from the root table using

ebtables -t nat -A <iface root table> -p arp -j I-<ifname>-arp-xyz

thus generating a 'root' chain like this one here:

Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp-xyz
-j DROP 

where the chain 'arp-xyz' is accessed for filtering of ARP packets.

23247a1efd esx: Support folders in the path of vpx:// connection URIs
Allow the datacenter and compute resource parts of the path
to be prefixed with folders. Therefore, the way the path is
parsed has changed. Before, it was split in 2 or 3 items and
the items' meanings were determined by their positions. Now
the path can have 2 or more items and the the vCenter server
is asked whether a folder, datacenter of compute resource
with the specified name exists at the current hierarchy level.

Before the datacenter and compute resource lookup automatically
traversed folders during lookup. This is logic got removed
and folders have to be specified explicitly.

The proper datacenter path including folders is now used when
accessing a datastore over HTTPS. This makes virsh dumpxml
and define work for datacenters in folders.

4040ff6638 docs: fix network XML documentation
A few people have attempted to use the new forwarding modes with older
versions of libvirt. The docs where the modes are described have
always stated the minimum required libvirt version, but the examples
at the end didn't, which I believe is what has caused the confusion.

Similarly, the section on portgroups now has a version tag added at
the beginning.

I also noticed that there was no example of defining a <dns> hostname,
so I added one, as well as making the domain name example more
recognizable (by adding ".com" to the domain).

4bb4109f7b qemu: add separate rerror_policy for disk errors
Previously libvirt's disk device XML only had a single attribute,
error_policy, to control both read and write error policy, but qemu
has separate options for controlling read and write. In one case
(enospc) a policy is allowed for write errors but not read errors.

This patch adds a separate attribute that sets only the read error
policy. If just error_policy is set, it will apply to both read and
write error policy (previous behavior), but if the new rerror_policy
attribute is set, it will override error_policy for read errors only.
Possible values for rerror_policy are "stop", "report", and "ignore"
("report" is the qemu-controlled default for rerror_policy when
error_policy isn't specified).

For consistency, the value "report" has been added to the possible
values for error_policy as well.

652f887144 Allow passing of command line args to LXC container
When booting a virtual machine with a kernel/initrd it is possible
to pass command line arguments using the <cmdline>...args...</cmdline>
element in the guest XML. These appear to the kernel / init process
in /proc/cmdline.

When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline,
but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally
we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a
regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve
libvirt parsing the <cmdline> XML text. This can easily be added
later, even if we add the env variable now

c329db7180 qemu: make PCI multifunction support more manual
When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174

and the discussion before and after

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html

This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:

  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
           slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>

In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.

With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.

A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).

dc79852af8 qemu: add ability to set PCI device "rombar" on or off
This patch was made in response to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095

In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).

rombar is forced on/off by adding:

  <rom bar='on|off'/>

inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.

At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
