bc7e63d39c maint: tighten curly brace syntax checking
Now that hanging brace offenders have been fixed, we can automate
the check, and document our style.  Done as a separate commit from
code changes, to make it easier to just backport code changes, if
that is ever needed.

e2523de554 domain_conf: Add support for iothreads in disk definition
Add a new disk "driver" attribute "iothread" to be parsed as the thread
number for the disk to use. In order to more easily facilitate the usage
and configuration of the iothread, a "zero" for the attribute indicates
iothreads are not supported for the device and a positive value indicates
the specific thread to try and use.

ee3a9620da domain_conf: Introduce iothreads XML
Introduce XML to allowing adding iothreads to the domain. These can be
used by virtio-blk-pci devices in order to assign a specific thread to
handle the workload for the device.  The iothreads are the official
implementation of the virtio-blk Data Plane that's been in tech preview
for QEMU.

d071164272 Add new 'kvm' domain feature and ability to hide KVM signature
QEMU 2.1 added support for the kvm=off option to the -cpu command,
allowing the KVM hypervisor signature to be hidden from the guest.
This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
guest as well as allowing certain drivers which test for the
hypervisor to load.  Domain XML syntax is as follows:

<domain type='kvm>
  ...
  <features>
    ...
    <kvm>
      <hidden state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>

Since vbox driver rewrite the virDriver structure init moved from
vbox_tmpl.c into vbox_common.c. However, our hvsupport.pl script

0257d06ba4 storage: ZFS support
Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.

Features supported:

 - pool-start, pool-stop
 - pool-info
 - vol-list
 - vol-create / vol-delete

Pool definition looks like that:

 <pool type='zfs'>
  <name>myzfspool</name>
  <source>
    <name>actualpoolname</name>
  </source>
 </pool>

The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.

User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.

A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:

    <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
      <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>

54ac483e68 hostdev: Add iSCSI hostdev XML
Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).

The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:

  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
    <source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
      <host name='example.org' port='3260'/>
      <auth username='myname'>
        <secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>
      </auth>
    </source>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='2' unit='5'/>
  </hostdev>

The controller element will mimic the existing scsi_host code insomuch
as when 'lsi' and 'virtio-scsi' are used.

232a31bea3 blockcommit: track job type in xml
A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the
same way as block copy jobs, it is easiest to track all bookkeeping
for the commit job by reusing the <mirror> element.  This patch
adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>.  Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit).  It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

9a212d6708 blockcopy: add more XML for state tracking
Doing a blockcopy operation across a libvirtd restart is not very
robust at the moment.  In particular, we are clearing the <mirror>
element prior to telling qemu to finish the job.  Also, thanks to the
ability to request async completion, the user can easily regain
control prior to qemu actually finishing the effort, and they should
be able to poll the domain XML to see if the job is still going.

A future patch will fix things to actually wait until qemu is done
before modifying the XML to reflect the job completion.  But since
qemu issues identical BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETE events regardless of whether
the job was cancelled (kept the original disk) or completed (pivoted
to the new disk), we have to track which of the two operations were
used to end the job.  Furthermore, we'd like to avoid attempts to
end a job where we are already waiting on an earlier request to qemu
to end the job.  Likewise, if we miss the qemu event (perhaps because
it arrived during a libvirtd restart), we still need enough state
recorded to be able to determine how to modify the domain XML once
we reconnect to qemu and manually learn whether the job still exists.

Although this patch doesn't actually fix the problem, it is a
preliminary step that makes it possible to track whether a job
has already begun steps towards completion.

a4bd62adc1 storage: Introduce parentaddr into virStoragePoolSourceAdapter
Between reboots and kernel reloads, the SCSI host number used for SCSI
storage pools may change requiring modification to the storage pool XML
in order to use a specific SCSI host adapter.

This patch introduces the "parentaddr" element and "unique_id" attribute
for the SCSI host adapter in order to uniquely identify the adapter
between reboots and kernel reloads. For now the goal is to only parse
and format the XML. Both will be required to be provided in order to
uniquely identify the desired SCSI host.

The new XML is expected to be as follows:

  <adapter type='scsi_host'>
    <parentaddr unique_id='3'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' func='0x2'/>
    </parentaddr>
  </adapter>

where "parentaddr" is the parent device of the SCSI host using the PCI
address on which the device resides and the value from the unique_id file
for the device. Both the PCI address and unique_id values will be used
to traverse the /sys/class/scsi_host/ directories looking at each link
to match the PCI address reformatted to the directory link format where
"domain🚌slot:function" is found.  Then for each matching directory
the unique_id file for the scsi_host will be used to match the unique_id
value in the xml.

For a PCI address listed above, this will be formatted to "0000:00:1f.2"
and the links in /sys/class/scsi_host will be used to find the host#
to be used for the 'scsi_host' device. Each entry is a link to the
/sys/bus/pci/devices directories, e.g.:

%  ls -al /sys/class/scsi_host/host2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun  1 00:22 /sys/class/scsi_host/host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host2/scsi_host/host2

% cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/unique_id
3

The "parentaddr" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parentaddr" element will be the preferred
mechanism.

This patch only supports to parse and format the XMLs. Later patches will
add code to find out the scsi host number.

3ba0469ce6 lxc network configuration allows setting target container NIC name
LXC network devices can now be assigned a custom NIC device name on the
container side. For example, this is configured with:

    <interface type='network'>
      <source network='default'/>
      <guest dev="eth1"/>
    </interface>

In this example the network card will appear as eth1 in the guest.

7f1ca3d6fe schema: put interleave at correct level
The previous commit 09d4d26 put the interleave at the wrong point;
it didn't allow interleaving with <memory>.

* docs/schema/domaincommon.rng (numatune): Fix interleave location.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-numatune-memnode.xml: Adjust test.

992000e6d8 conf, schema: add 'id' field for cells
In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result.  When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements.  With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field.  This will be useful when we have tuning settings for
particular guest NUMA node.

a14abd463a support for QEMU vhost-user
This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.

The XML looks like:

<interface type='vhostuser'>
    <mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1a'/>
    <source type='unix' path='/tmp/vhost.sock' mode='server'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
</interface>

a9fd30e633 storagevol: add nocow to vol xml
Add 'nocow' to storage volume xml so that user can have an option
to set NOCOW flag to the newly created volume. It's useful on btrfs
file system to enhance performance.

Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this
bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there
are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow,
then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.

This patch tries the second way, according to 'nocow' option, it could set
NOCOW flag per file:
for raw file images, handle 'nocow' in libvirt code; for non-raw file images,
pass 'nocow=on' option to qemu-img, and let qemu-img to handle that (requires
qemu-img version >= 2.1).
