commit '96e55048' caused make check failure for virschematest:

That's because <code> elements don't appear to be allowed in the schema.
Rather than attempt to fix the schema, figured it was simpler to just
remove them and let the schema fix happen later.

The HTML pages are currently validated against an XHTML 1.0 DTD.
This makes it impossible to take advantage of features that are
introduced in HTML 5, because they'll fail validation.

There is intentionally no DTD defined for HTML 5, so there's no
alternative to XHTML 1.0 DTD that we could switch to. The only
options are to stick with XHTML 1.0 forever, or drop the DTD
validation, and we pick the latter.

43e6686c7f storage: Disallow usage of the HBA for a fc_host backing
Disallow providing the wwnn/wwpn of the HBA in the adapter XML:

  <adapter type='fc_host' [parent='scsi_hostN'] wwnn='HBA_wwnn'
    wwpn='HBA_wwpn'/>

This should be considered a configuration error since a vHBA
would not be created. In order to use the HBA as the backing the
following XML should be used:

  <adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_hostN'/>

So add a check prior to the checkParent call to validate that
the provided wwnn/wwpn resolves to a vHBA and not an HBA.

099a5ef8f0 docs: Span cells if there's not doc text for enum val
When generating HTML documentation we put enum values into a
table so that we can display the value's name, numerical value
and description (if it has one). Now the last part is problem. If
the value doesn't have description the table row has just two
cells and if it has one the row counts three cells. This makes
HTML engines render the description into very little space - for
instance see:

  html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainMemoryStatTags

We can avoid this problem if we let the cell that corresponds to
numerical value span over two cells if there's no description.

6efdd94dbc apibuild.py: Handle enum comments properly
After f4cb85c6af we only have two options for placing enum
values descriptions. It's either:

    typedef enum {
        /* Some long description. Therefore it's placed before
         * the value. */
        VIR_ENUM_A_VAL = 1,
    } virEnumA;

or:

    typedef enum {
        VIR_ENUM_B_VAL = 1, /* Some short description */
    } virEnumB;

However, our apibuild.py script is not able to deal with the
former one. It messes up comments. To fix this couple of things
needs to be done:

a) DO NOT reset self.comment in parseEnumBlock(). This is a
result from our tokenizer. Upon calling token() if it finds a
comment block it stores it in self.comment and returns the next
token (which is not comment). Therefore, if we reset self.comment
we might lose the first comment in the enum block.

b) we need a variable to track if the current enum block uses
value descriptions before or after values. That is if it's type
virEnumA or virEnumB. Depending on that, it we're dealing with
virEnumA type and the current token is a comma ',' we can add the
value into the list as we already have everything needed:
comment, name and value.

e5a0579996 qemu: Enable NUMA node tag in pci-root for PPC64
This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.

PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.

For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.

So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.

The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory
attribute according to formatdomain, and indeed it was agreed on
IRC that the attribute is "optional for input, recommended (but
not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the
attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where
the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g.

# cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver type='raw'/>
      <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>

# virt-xml-validate test.xml

test.xml:21: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content
test.xml fails to validate

Relaxing the name attribute to be optional fixes the validation

78fc843c7b bhyve: add vga configuration for video driver
Add support for vgaconf driver configuration. In domain xml it looks like
this:

  <video>
    <driver vgaconf='io|on|off'>
    <model .../>
  </video>

It was added with bhyve gop video in mind to allow users control how the
video device is exposed to the guest, specifically, how VGA I/O is
handled.

One can refer to the bhyve manual page to get more detailed description
of the possible VGA configuration options:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bhyve&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current

The relevant part could be found using the 'vgaconf' keyword.

Also, add some tests for this new feature.

d672551816 HACKING: Drop from the git repository
Despite being a generated file, HACKING has been tracked in

same time.

The rationale for tracking the generated file is to help out

however, README-hacking already contains enough information to

memory by a file inside the host. And in order to keep things

However, libvirt's policy is that directories are created on
domain startup if they don't exist. We've missed this one.

88ef73e13c nodedev: Introduce mdev capability for mediated devices
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.

The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
  <name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>

The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

ea4769a1b5 news: Make changes understandable for users
When reading release notes, patch summary is not always the best
description of what users can expect in new version.  I propose
changing it slightly so that it describes what exactly happens and
when.

However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news
file, that would be ridiculous and unreadable for users.  If the patch
subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all.  So that would be
the other way how to fix this.

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.

Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:

    <memory model='nvdimm'>
      <source>
        <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
    </memory>

So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

1d9ab0f04a qemu: Allow empty script path to <interface/>
Before 9c17d665fd (v1.3.2 - I know, right?) it was possible to
have the following interface configuration:

  <interface type='ethernet'/>
    <script path=''/>
  </interface>

This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped
us to get away with this as it just ignored the empty script
path. However, after the commit mentioned above it's libvirtd
who is executing the script. Unfortunately without special
case-ing empty script path.

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.

be36ea4b52 NEWS: Improve building pipeline
Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.

The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.

Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.

To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.

bb74a7ffeb conf: Add more fchost search fields for storage pool vHBA creation
Add new fields to the fchost structure to allow creation of a vHBA via

2b13361bc7 nodedev: Add the ability to create vHBA by parent wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349696

When creating a vHBA, the process is to feed XML to nodeDeviceCreateXML
that lists the <parent> scsi_hostX to use to create the vHBA. However,
between reboots, it's possible that the <parent> changes its scsi_hostX
to scsi_hostY and saved XML to perform the creation will either fail or
create a vHBA using the wrong parent.

So add the ability to provide "wwnn" and "wwpn" or "fabric_wwn" to
the <parent> instead of a name of the scsi_hostN that is the parent.
The allowed XML will thus be:

  <parent>scsi_host3</parent>  (current)

or

  <parent wwnn='$WWNN' wwpn='$WWPN'/>

or

  <parent fabric_wwn='$WWNN'/>

Using the wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn ensures the same 'scsi_hostN' is
selected between hardware reconfigs or host reboots. The fabric_wwn
Using the wwnn/wwpn pair will provide the most specific search option,
while fabric_wwn will at least ensure usage of the same SAN, but maybe
not the same scsi_hostN.

This patch will add the new fields to the nodedev.rng for input purposes
only since the input XML is essentially thrown away, no need to Format
the values since they'd already be printed as part of the scsi_host
data block.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByWWNs will take the parent "wwnn" and
"wwpn" in order to search the list of devices for matching capability
data fields wwnn and wwpn.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByFabricWWN will take the parent "fabric_wwn"
in order to search the list of devices for matching capability data field
fabric_wwn.

78661cb1f4 conf: Display <physical> in output of voldef
Although the virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo will update the
target.physical value, there is no way to provide that information
via the virStorageGetVolInfo API since it only returns the capacity
and allocation of a volume. So as described in commit id '0282ca45',
it should be possible to generate an output only <physical> value
for that purpose.

This patch generates the <physical> value in the volume XML output
for the sole purpose of being able to view/see the value to allow
someone to parse the XML in order to obtain the value.

5a26d1ce12 Point to the new libvirt-go bindings
The github.com/rgbkrk/libvirt-go bindings were the most complete
bindings historically, but their API coverage stops at 1.2.4,
with exception of a couple of newer APIs.

The new bindings at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-go.git;a=log
how have (almost[1]) 100% API coverage all the way to 2.5.0. They also
expose the APIs in a way that allows for much stronger go type
checking by the compiler, and expose typed parameters as explicit
structs. Finally the bindings are able to conditionally compile against
any libvirt version 1.2.0 -> 2.5.0 without use of go build tags.

Change the docs to point to these new bindings, since they'll be
a better bet for users long term.

[1] virEvent & virStream callbacks are still TODO to be fixed
    real soon.

7ed89d7421 docs: Update formatstorage to match code for pool path
Seems commit id '0257d06b' forgot to include formatstorage when updating
the docs to describe allowing zfs as a pool type and to furthermore note
that the pool's target path element will be generated rather than read.

Similarly commit id 'efab27afb' neglected to indicate that the target path
for a logical pool will now be generated by libvirt.

22f7ceb695 nss: Introduce libvirt-guest module
So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by
guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is
not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed
(with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some
(older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP
transactions at all.
In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain
name as seen by libvirt too so that users can:

  # virsh start $dom && ssh $dom

In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced,
while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that
is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

ae5d30a0b3 conf: Wire up the vhost-scsi connection from/to XML
With the QEMU components in place, provide the XML parsing to
invoke that code when given the following XML snippet:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
      <source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.501234567890abcd'/>
    </hostdev>

An optional address element can be specified within the hostdev
(pick CCW or PCI as necessary):

    <address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x0625'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>

Add basic vhost-scsi tests which were cloned from hostdev-scsi-virtio-scsi
in both xml2argv and xml2xml. Added ones for both vhost-scsi-ccw and
vhost-scsi-pci since the syntaxes are slightly different between them.

Also adjusted the docs to describe the changes.

a46aa8852f docs: correct version requirements for <kvm><hidden='on'/></kvm>
When support was added for the kvm hidden='on' attribute in commit
d07116, the version requirement was listed as "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)". However, this was added when libvirt was at version 1.2.8 - it
is *QEMU* that must be at version 2.1.0 or later.

This went unnoticed for a very long time (over 2 years). Then a week
or two ago a new Windows convert in the #virt channel on OFTC was told
he needed to use this feature (to prevent nvidia drivers in a guest
from refusing to work due to being run in a virtual machine). There
was some problem with it being recognized and "someone" (it may have
been me, or may have been someone else, I don't remember) pointed out
that the documentation at

  http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html

says that it requires libvirt 2.1.0. The next several days were filled
with agony as a new convert to Linux first tried to upgrade a Linux
Mint host running their "LTS" version to something newer, then tried
to install a libvirt build built for Ubuntu onto this, and later back
to the old LTS Linux Mint. After this he tried building his own
libvirt from source (with all the expected problems), and finally
switched to Fedora. In the end it was hours and hours of everybody's
lives that they will never get back. To now learn that he didn't need
to do this (his original libvirt version was 1.3.3, so whatever his
problem was, it was elsewhere) makes the pain all that much worse.

To prevent this from happening again, this simple patch changes the
version requirement for the kvm hidden attribute from "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)" to "1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1.0)".

9eb9106ea5 qemu: command: Add support for sparse vcpu topologies
Add support for using the new approach to hotplug vcpus using device_add
during startup of qemu to allow sparse vcpu topologies.

There are a few limitations imposed by qemu on the supported
configuration:
- vcpu0 needs to be always present and not hotpluggable
- non-hotpluggable cpus need to be ordered at the beginning
- order of the vcpus needs to be unique for every single hotpluggable
  entity

Qemu also doesn't really allow to query the information necessary to
start a VM with the vcpus directly on the commandline. Fortunately they
can be hotplugged during startup.

The new hotplug code uses the following approach:
- non-hotpluggable vcpus are counted and put to the -smp option
- qemu is started
- qemu is queried for the necessary information
- the configuration is checked
- the hotpluggable vcpus are hotplugged
- vcpus are started

This patch adds a lot of checking code and enables the support to
specify the individual vcpu element with qemu.

5847bc5c64 conf: Add XML for individual vCPU hotplug
Individual vCPU hotplug requires us to track the state of any vCPU. To
allow this add the following XML:

<domain>

  <vcpu current='2'>3</vcpu>
  <vcpus>
    <vcpu id='0' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no' order='1'/>
    <vcpu id='1' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='yes' order='2'/>
    <vcpu id='1' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/>
  </vcpus>
  ...

The 'enabled' attribute allows to control the state of the vcpu.
'hotpluggable' controls whether given vcpu can be hotplugged and 'order'
allows to specify the order to add the vcpus.

0b6336c2d9 network: allow limiting a <forwarder> element to certain domains
For some unknown reason the original implementation of the <forwarder>
element only took advantage of part of the functionality in the
dnsmasq feature it exposes - it allowed specifying the ip address of a
DNS server which *all* DNS requests would be forwarded to, like this:

   <forwarder addr='192.168.123.25'/>

This is a frontend for dnsmasq's "server" option, which also allows
you to specify a domain that must be matched in order for a request to
be forwarded to a particular server. This patch adds support for
specifying the domain. For example:

   <forwarder domain='example.com' addr='192.168.1.1'/>
   <forwarder domain='www.example.com'/>
   <forwarder domain='travesty.org' addr='10.0.0.1'/>

would forward requests for bob.example.com, ftp.example.com and
joe.corp.example.com all to the DNS server at 192.168.1.1, but would
forward requests for travesty.org and www.travesty.org to
10.0.0.1. And due to the second line, requests for www.example.com,
and odd.www.example.com would be resolved by the libvirt network's own
DNS server (i.e. thery wouldn't be immediately forwarded) even though
they also match 'example.com' - the match is given to the entry with
the longest matching domain. DNS requests not matching any of the
entries would be resolved by the libvirt network's own DNS server.

9065cfaa88 network: allow disabling dnsmasq's DNS server
If you define a libvirt virtual network with one or more IP addresses,
it starts up an instance of dnsmasq. It's always been possible to
avoid dnsmasq's dhcp server (simply don't include a <dhcp> element),
but until now it wasn't possible to avoid having the DNS server
listening; even if the network has no <dns> element, it is started
using default settings.

This patch adds a new attribute to <dns>: enable='yes|no'. For
backward compatibility, it defaults to 'yes', but if you don't want a
DNS server created for the network, you can simply add:

   <dns enable='no'/>

to the network configuration, and next time the network is started
there will be no dns server created (if there is dhcp configuration,
dnsmasq will be started with "port=0" which disables the DNS server;
if there is no dhcp configuration, dnsmasq won't be started at all).

c4b92f1a8a schema: Don't validate paths
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353296

On UNIX like systems there are no constraints on what characters
can be in file/dir names (except for NULL, obviously). Moreover,
some values that we think of as paths (e.g. disk source) are not
necessarily paths at all. For instance, some hypervisors take
that as an arbitrary identifier and corresponding file is then
looked up by hypervisor in its table. Instead of trying to fix
our regular expressions (and forgetting to include yet another
character there), lets drop the validation completely.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1356937

Add the definitions to allow for viewing/setting cgroup period and quota
limits for IOThreads.

This is similar to the work done for emulator quota and period by
commit ids 'b65dafa' and 'e051c482'.

Being able to view/set the IOThread specific values is related to more
recent changes adding global period (commmit id '4d92d58f') and global
quota (commit id '55ecdae') definitions and qemu support (commit id
'4e17ff79' and 'fbcbd1b2'). With a global setting though, if somehow
the IOThread value in the cgroup hierarchy was set "outside of libvirt"
to a value that is incompatible with the global value.

Allowing control over IOThread specific values provides the capability
to alter the IOThread values as necessary.

a48c714115 storage: remove "luks" storage volume type
The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.

This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)

IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.

IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML

  <volume>
    <name>demo.raw</name>
    <capacity>5368709120</capacity>
    <target>
      <format type='raw'/>
      <encryption format='luks'>
        <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
      </encryption>
    </target>
  </volume>

and when configuring a guest disk we should use

  <disk type='file' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
    <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
    <encryption format='luks'>
      <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
    </encryption>
  </disk>

This commit thus removes the "luks" storage volume type added
in

  Author: John Ferlan <jferlan@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Jun 21 12:59:54 2016 -0400

    util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo

The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.

The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.

The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format.  I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

Most of the lines we look at are not going to match one of the

6dc1f10347 hvsupport: construct the group regex upfront
The %groups hash contains all the driver types (e.g.
virHypervisorDriver or virSecretDriver).

When searching for all the APIs that are implemented by a driver
of that specific driver type, we keep iterating over the %groups
hash on every line we look at, then matching against the driver type.

This is inefficient because it prevents perl from caching the regex
and it executes the regex once for every driver type, even though
one regex matching excludes all the others, since all the driver types
are different.

Construct the regex containing all the driver types upfront to save
about 6.4s (~98%) of the script execution time.

Doing an XPath query for every single 'function' element in the

Since the XML file is generated by another of our build scripts
(apibuild.py, using Python's standard 'output.write' XML library),
just find the function name->file mapping by a regex upfront.

Also add a note about this next to the line that generates it
in apibuild.py and do not check if XML::XPath is installed in

98fa8f3ef6 conf: support host-side IP/route information in <interface>
This is place as a sub-element of <source>, where other aspects of the
host-side connection to the network device are located (network or
bridge name, udp listen port, etc). It's a bit odd that the interface
we're configuring with this info is itself named in <target dev='x'/>,
but that ship sailed long ago:

    <interface type='ethernet'>
      <mac address='00:16:3e:0f:ef:8a'/>
      <source>
        <ip address='192.168.122.12' family='ipv4'
            prefix='24' peer='192.168.122.1'/>
        <ip address='192.168.122.13' family='ipv4' prefix='24'/>
        <route family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0'
               gateway='192.168.122.1'/>
        <route family='ipv4' address='192.168.124.0' prefix='24'
               gateway='192.168.124.1'/>
      </source>
    </interface>

In practice, this will likely only be useful for type='ethernet', so
its presence in any other type of interface is currently forbidden in
the generic device Validate function (but it's been put into the
general population of virDomainNetDef rather than the
ethernet-specific union member so that 1) we can more easily add the
capability to other types if needed, and 2) we can retain the info
when set to an invalid interface type all the way through to
validation and report a proper error, rather than just ignoring it
(which is currently what happens for many other type-specific
settings).

(NB: The already-existing configuration of IP info for the guest-side
of interfaces is in subelements directly under <interface>, and the
name of the guest-side interface (when configurable) is in <guest
dev='x'/>).

47e88b33be util: Add 'usage' for encryption
In order to use more common code and set up for a future type, modify the
encryption secret to allow the "usage" attribute or the "uuid" attribute
to define the secret. The "usage" in the case of a volume secret would be
the path to the volume as dictated by the backwards compatibility brought
on by virStorageGenerateQcowEncryption where it set up the usage field as
the vol->target.path and didn't allow someone to provide it. This carries
into virSecretObjListFindByUsageLocked which takes the secret usage attribute
value from from the domain disk definition and compares it against the
usage type from the secret definition. Since none of the code dealing
with qcow/qcow2 encryption secrets uses usage for lookup, it's a mostly
cosmetic change. The real usage comes in a future path where the encryption
is expanded to be a luks volume and the secret will allow definition of
the usage field.

This code will make use of the virSecretLookup{Parse|Format}Secret common code.

a.k.a. <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='net'>.

This replaces the existing nips, ips, nroutes, and routes with a
single virNetDevIPInfo, and simplifies the code by calling that
object's parse/format/clear functions instead of open coding.

9911562a22 conf: single object containing list of IP addresses, list of routes
There are currently two places in the domain where this combination is
used, and there is about to be another. This patch puts them together
for brevity and uniformity.

As with the newly-renamed virNetDevIPAddr and virNetDevIPRoute
objects, the new virNetDevIPInfo object will need to be accessed by a
utility function that calls low level Netlink functions (so we don't
want it to be in the conf directory) and will be called from multiple
hypervisor drivers (so it can't be in any hypervisor directory); the
most appropriate place is thus once again the util directory.

The parse and format functions are in conf/domain_conf.c because only
the domain XML (i.e. *not* the network XML) has this exact combination
of IP addresses plus routes. Note that virDomainNetIPInfoFormat() will
end up being the only caller to virDomainNetRoutesFormat() and
virDomainNetIPsFormat(), so it will just subsume those functions in a
later patch, but we can't do that until they are no longer called.

(It would have been nice to include the interface name within the
virNetDevIPInfo object (with a slight name change), but that can't
be done cleanly, because in each case the interface name is provided
in a different place in the XML relative to the routes and IP
addresses, so putting it in this object would actually make the code
more confused rather than simpler).

9658e70f7d conf/openvz: eliminate incorrect/undocumented use of <source dev='blah'/>
When support for <interface type='ethernet'> was added in commit
9a4b705f back in 2010, it erroneously looked at <source dev='blah'/>
for a user-specified guest-side interface name. This was never
documented though. (that attribute already existed at the time in the
data.ethernet union member of virDomainNetDef, but apparently had no
practical use - it was only used as a storage place for a NetDef's
bridge name during qemuDomainXMLToNative(), but even then that was
never used for anything).

When support for similar guest-side device naming was added to the lxc
driver several years later, it was put in a new subelement <guest
dev='blah'/>.

In the intervening years, since there was no validation that
ethernet.dev was NULL in the other drivers that didn't actually use
it, innocent souls who were adding other features assuming they needed
to account for non-NULL ethernet.dev when really they didn't, so
little bits of the usual pointless cargo-cult code showed up.

This patch not only switches the openvz driver to use the documented
<guest dev='blah'/> notation for naming the guest-side device (just in
case anyone is still using the openvz driver), and logs an error if
anyone tries to set <source dev='blah'/> for a type='ethernet'
interface, it also removes the cargo-cult uses of ethernet.dev and
<source dev='blah'/>, and eliminates if from the RNG and from
virDomainNetDef.

NB: I decided on this course of action after mentioning the
inconsistency here:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-May/msg02038.html

and getting encouragement do eliminate it in a later IRC discussion
with danpb.

df2fb9bfff conf: limit chassisNr, and busNr to a minimum value of 1, not 0
In the case of chassisNr (used to set chassis_nr of a pci-bridge
controller), 0 is reserved for / used by the pci[e]-root bus. In the
base of busNr, a value of 0 would mean that the root bus had no places
available to plug in new buses, including the pxb itself (the
documentation I wrote for pxb even noted the limit of busNr as 1.254).

NB: oddly, the "chassis" attribute, which is used for pcie-root-port
and pcie-switch-downstream-port *can* be set to 0, since it's the
combination of {chassis, slot} that needs to be unique, not chassis by
itself (and slot 0 of pcie-root is reserved, while pcie-*-port can use
*only* slot 0).

For backward compatibility we need to handle listen type 'socket' and 'socket'

have to match, if only one of them is provided we need to be able to parse that
configuration too.

To not break migration back to old libvirt if the socket is provided by user we
need to generate migratable XML without the listen element and use only 'socket'

38df47c9af docs: Teach apibuild to deal with (1U << 31) too
The apibuild script is a terrifying beast that parses some source
files of ours and produces an XML representation of them. When it
comes to parsing enums we have in some header files, it tries to
be clever and detect a value that an enum member has (or if it is
an alias for a different member). Whilst doing that it has to
deal with values we give to the members in many formats. At some
places we just pass the value in decimal:

    VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL = 1,

in other places, we use the aliasing:

    VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ACTIVE = VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE,

and in other places bitwise shifts are used:

    VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS = 1 << 31, /* enforce requested stats */

The script tries to parse all of these resulting in the following
tokens: "1", "VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE", "1<<31"; Then, the
script tries to turn these into integers using python's eval()
function. This function succeeds on the first and the last
tokens. But, if we were to modify the last example so that it's
of the following form:

    VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS = 1U << 31, /* enforce requested stats */

the token representing enum's member value will then be "1U<<31".
So our parsing is good. Unfortunately, python is not aware of the
difference between signed and unsigned C types, therefore eval()
fails over this token and the parser falls back thinking it's an
alias to another enum member. Well it's not.

The solution is to transform [0-9]U into [0-9] as for our
purposes here it's the same thing.

4d100c7a41 conf: permit auto-assignment of controller indexes
Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.

The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.

With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:

  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  ...

These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.

8f578716c7 conf: allow type='pci' addresses with no address attributes specified
Prior to this, <address type='pci'/> wasn't allowed when parsing
(domain+bus+slot+function needed to be a "valid" PCI address, meaning
that at least one of domain/bus/slot had to be non-0), the RNG
required bus to be specified, and if type was set to PCI when
formatting, domain+bus+slot+function would always be output.

This makes all the address attributes optional during parse and RNG
validation, and suppresses domain+bus+slot+function if domain+bus+slot
are all 0 (NB: if d+b+s are all 0, any value for function is
nonsensical as that will never happen in the real world, and after
the next patch we will always assign a real working address to any
empty PCI address before it is ever output to anywhere).

Note that explicitly setting all attributes to 0 is equivalent to
setting none of them, which is okay, since 0000:00:00 is reserved in
any PCI bus setup, and can't be used anyway.

e7bde8d319 storage: Fix algorithm generating path names for devmapper
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265694

Commit id '020135dc' didn't quite get the algorithm correct when a
device mapper source ended with a non numeric value (e.g. ends with
an alphabet value).

This patch modifies the 'part_separator' logic to add the "p" separator
to the attempted target path name only when specified as part_separator='yes'.

For a source name that already ends with a number, the logic doesn't change
as the part separator would need to be there.

For a source name that ends with something other than a number, this allows
the possibility that a "p" separator can be added. The default for one of
these source devices is to not add the separator.

The key for device mapper and the need for a partition separator "p" is
the presence of a number in the last character of the device name link
in /dev/mapper.  A name such as "/dev/mapper/mpatha1" would generate
a "/dev/mapper/mpatha1p1" partition, while "/dev/mapper/mpatha" would
generate partition "/dev/mapper/mpatha1". Similarly for a device
mapper entry not using friendly names or an alias, a device such as
"/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93" would generate a
paritition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93p1", while
a device such as "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f" would
generate a partition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f1".
The long number is the WWID of the device. It's also possible to assign
an alias for a device mapper entry, that alias follows the same rules
with respect to ending with a number or not when adding a "p" to create
the target device path.

75db9997a0 util: set vlan tag for macvtap passthrough mode on SRIOV VFs
SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.

This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.

1d14b13f3b Revert "libvirt domain xml allow to set peer address"
This reverts commit 690969af9c, which
added the domain config parts to support a "peer" attribute in domain
interface <ip> elements.

It's being removed temporarily for the release of libvirt 1.3.4
because the feature doesn't work, and there are concerns that it may
need to be modified in an externally visible manner which could create
backward compatibility problems.

67f2b72723 conf: Drop restrictions on rng backend path
Currently we only allow /dev/random and /dev/hwrng as host input
for <rng><backend model='random'/> device. This was added after
various upstream discussions in commit 4932ef45

However this restriction has generated quite a few complaints over
the years, so a new discussion was initiated:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg00987.html

Several people suggested removing the restriction, and nobody really
spoke up to defend it. So this patch drops the path restriction
entirely

600a666ce5 schema: Allow space character in disk vendor/product
The hex range already tried to allow for it, but it wasn't using
the correct XML hex syntax. Fix it, and test it

4a98ebb07c apibuild: Introduce app class
All top-level functions have been moved to this class.

On top of that, the app.warning() method has been defined,
so that calls to it - already present in rebuild() - can
actually succeed.

ccaceab7bd apibuild: Add index.warning() method
This method is used in eg. index.merge(), but is not defined
anywhere. The implementation has been copied from docBuilder.

22a592a4fe docs: Pass relative paths to apibuild.py
Since commit d195cffa2e, both $(srcdir) and $(abs_builddir)
are passed to the apibuild.py script; however, since the
former is a relative path and the latter an absolute one, the
script might not be able to detect whether they point to the
same location.

Pass both as relative paths to avoid the issue.
