The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:
within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>
Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements. If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.
Some examples:
<interface type='hostdev'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
<mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>vlan-net</name>
<vlan trunk='yes'>
<tag id='30'/>
</vlan>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='vlan-net'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>trunk-vlan</name>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
<tag id='43'/>
</vlan>
...
</network>
<network>
<name>multi</name>
...
<portgroup name='production'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='test'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='666'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
...
</interface>
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)
<portgroup> allows a <bandwidth> element, but the schema didn't have
this. Since this makes for multiple elements in portgroup, they must
be interleaved.
<interface type='bridge'> needs to allow <virtualport> elements
for openvswitch, but the schema didn't allow this.
Let's change URI to parallels:///system. Parallels Server supports
creating VMs from non-privileged accounts, but it's not main usage
scenario and it may be forbidden in the future.
Also containers, which will be supported by the driver, can be managed
only by root, so /system path is more suitable for this driver.

Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections
counter, now each network has a connections counter which is
incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this
network.
The count is output in the live network XML, like this:
<network connections='20'>
...
</network>
It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used
internally anywhere by libvirt.
One of the original ideas behind allowing a <virtualport> in an
interface definition as well as in the <network> definition *and*one
or more <portgroup>s within the network, was that guest-specific
parameteres (like instanceid and interfaceid) could be given in the
interface's virtualport, and more general things (portid, managerid,
etc) could be given in the network and/or portgroup, with all the bits
brought together at guest startup time and combined into a single
virtualport to be used by the guest. This was somehow overlooked in
the implementation, though - it simply picks the "most specific"
virtualport, and uses the entire thing, with no attempt to merge in
details from the others.
This patch uses virNetDevVPortProfileMerge3() to combine the three
possible virtualports into one, then uses
virNetDevVPortProfileCheck*() to verify that the resulting virtualport
type is appropriate for the type of network, and that all the required
attributes for that type are present.
An example of usage is this: assuming a <network> definitions on host
ABC of:
<network>
<name>testA</name>
...
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
...
<portgroup name='engineering'>
<virtualport>
<parameters profileid='eng'/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='sales'>
<virtualport>
<parameters profileid='sales'/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
</network>
and the same <network> on host DEF of:
<network>
<name>testA</name>
...
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"/>
</virtualport>
...
<portgroup name='engineering'>
<virtualport>
<parameters managerid="11"/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='sales'>
<virtualport>
<parameters managerid="55"/>
</virtualport>
</portgroup>
</network>
and a guest <interface> definition of:
<interface type='network'>
<source network='testA' portgroup='sales'/>
<virtualport>
<parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
interfaceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"\>
</virtualport>
...
</interface>
If the guest was started on host ABC, the <virtualport> used would be:
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f'
profileid='sales'/>
</virtualport>
but if that guest was started on host DEF, the <virtualport> would be:
<virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
<parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"
managerid="55"/>
</virtualport>
Additionally, if none of the involved <virtualport>s had a specified type
(this includes cases where no virtualport is given at all),
Until now, all attributes in a <virtualport> parameter list that were
acceptable for a particular type, were also required. There were no
optional attributes.
One of the aims of supporting <virtualport> in libvirt's virtual
networks and portgroups is to allow specifying the group-wide
parameters in the network's virtualport, and merge that with the
interface's virtualport, which will have the instance-specific info
(i.e. the interfaceid or instanceid).
Additionally, the guest's interface XML shouldn't need to know what
type of network connection will be used prior to runtime - it could be
openvswitch, 802.1Qbh, 802.1Qbg, or none of the above - but should
still be able to specify instance-specific info just in case it turns
out to be applicable.
Finally, up to now, the parser for virtualport has always generated a
random instanceid/interfaceid when appropriate, making it impossible
to leave it blank (which is what's required for virtualports within a
network/portprofile definition).
This patch modifies the parser and formatter of the <virtualport>
element in the following ways:
* because most of the attributes in a virNetDevVPortProfile are fixed
size binary data with no reserved values, there is no way to embed a
"this value wasn't specified" sentinel into the existing data. To
solve this problem, the new *_specified fields in the
virNetDevVPortProfile object that were added in a previous patch of
this series are now set when the corresponding attribute is present
during the parse.
* allow parsing/formatting a <virtualport> that has no type set. In
this case, all fields are settable, but all are also optional.
* add a GENERATE_MISSING_DEFAULTS flag to the parser - if this flag is
set and an instanceid/interfaceid is expected but not provided, a
random one will be generated. This was previously the default
behavior, but is now done only for virtualports inside an
<interface> definition, not for those in <network> or <portgroup>.
* add a REQUIRE_ALL_ATTRIBUTES flag to the parser - if this flag is
set the parser will call the new
virNetDevVPortProfileCheckComplete() functions at the end of the
parser to check for any missing attributes (based on type), and
return failure if anything is missing. This used to be default
behavior. Now it is only used for the virtualport defined inside an
interface's <actual> element (by the time you've figured out the
contents of <actual>, you should have all the necessary data to fill
in the entire virtualport)
* add a REQUIRE_TYPE flag to the parser - if this flag is set, the
parser will return an error if the virtualport has no type
attribute. This also was previously the default behavior, but isn't
needed in the case of the virtualport for a type='network' interface
(i.e. the exact type isn't yet known), or the virtualport of a
portgroup (i.e. the portgroup just has modifiers for the network's
virtualport, which *does* require a type) - in those cases, the
check will be done at domain startup, once the final virtualport is
assembled (this is handled in the next patch).
List:
- some old libvir/libvirt rename leftovers (the only problem can be
if somebody parses 'virsh version' output really badly)
- remove pointless tags specified in some pages that are not used
This patch makes search.php autogenerated from search.php.in, thus
removing hardcoded menus, footer etc. and the search.php is added to
.gitignore.
There is new rule added for *.php files (to make it bit less
hardcoded) that takes *.php.code.in and injects it inside the
generated *.php (xslt was not happy about php code in the source xml).
Error 404 page had relative paths specified for both the image and
stylesheets which caused a problem when requested URL included a
subfolder (e.g. http://libvirt.org/asdf/asdf ). This patch corrects
this behaviour by modifying href_base to '/' (for style-sheets) and
changing the src of the image (to be '/' always).

We don't expect people to have tools installed to regenerate .png
from .fig by default. However, since commit 5eb3df8, several
.fig files were updated without regenerating the .png file, and
as a result, 'make dist' ends up regenerating those five files,
or worse, failing because of missing tools (convert from
ImageMagick).
Additionally, even if the tools are present, the generation of
.png files is nondeterministic (the resulting files contain a
timestamp), which means prior to this patch, running 'make dist'
from two checkouts will end up producing different tarball
contents (two 'make dist' runs will always produce different tar
files, since tarballs also contain timestamps; but unpacking the
tarballs and doing a recursive diff will show if the contents
are unchanged).
After this patch, the timestamps are now up-to-date, and 'make
dist' no longer has anything to do for the .png files. This gets
us closer to the goal of two checkouts being able to produce the
same tarball.

The time keeping example was missing quotes which resulted in an error

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>

'boot' tag shouldn't be exclusive with 'kernel', 'initrd', and 'cmdline',
though the boot sequence doesn't make sense when the guest boots from
kernel directly. But it's useful if booting from kernel is to install
a newguest, even if it's not to install a guest, there is no hurt. And
on the other hand, we allow 'boot' and the kernel tags when parsing.
A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.
If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.
Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.
This all also applies to the LXC driver

A few examples for <interface> had a type='direct' interface with no
sub-elements. This is not allowed - a type='direct' interface must
have at least a source element. (Most likely the example was copied
from the type='user' or type='ethernet' examples - they *do* allow an
instance with no sub-elements).
There was also one place that mistakenly used %lt; ... %gt; instead of
< ... > (for some reason, I make that typo all the time).
Eric Blake and Guido Günther were guests during this week's
FLOSS Weekly podcast, giving insights into libvirt as a Free
Software project. Also, there are several useful blogs on
virt-related topics.
* docs/relatedlinks.html.in (Blogs and Podcasts): New section.
We had a distributed file (remote_protocol.h, which in turn was
a prereq to remote_driver.c) depending on a generated file
(libvirt_probes.h), which is a no-no for a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree (no wonder 'make distcheck' tests precisely
that situation):
File `libvirt_driver_remote.la' does not exist.
File `libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo' does not exist.

Rather than making distributed .c files depend on generated files, we
really want to ensure that compilation into .lo files is not attempted
until the generated files are present, done by this patch. Since there
were two different sets of conditionally generated files that both
feed the .lo file, I had to introduce a new variable REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS
to keep automake happy.
After that fix, the next issue was that make treats './foo' and 'foo'
differently in determining whether an implicit %foo rule is applicable,
with the result that locking/qemu-sanlock.conf wasn't properly being
built at the right times. Also, the output for using the .aug test
files was a bit verbose.
After fixing the src directory, the next error is related to the docs
directory, where the tarball is missing a stamp file and thus tries to
regenerate files that are already present:
GEN ../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp

in-tree build, because of a file glob.

This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).
Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.
The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='virbr0'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.
