The current udev node device driver ignores all events related to vdpa

devices in the device list.
Example output:
virsh # nodedev-list

vdpa_vdpa0
virsh # nodedev-dumpxml vdpa_vdpa0
<device>

but this example output is from the vdpa_sim kernel module, so it
doesn't have a normal parent device.

checkpoint, the new API is a full backup, differing from
virDomainBlockCopy in the point of time chosen and in operation on
multiple disks at once); and also allows creation of a new checkpoint
at the same time as starting the backup (after all, an incremental
backup is only useful if it covers the state since the previous
backup).
A backup job also affects filtering a listing of domains, as well as
adding event reporting for signaling when a push model backup
completes (where the hypervisor creates the backup); note that the
pull model does not have an event (starting the backup lets a third

Some layered products such as oVirt have requested a way to avoid being
blocked by guest agent commands when querying a loaded vm. For example,
many guest agent commands are polled periodically to monitor changes,
and rather than blocking the calling process, they'd prefer to simply
time out when an agent query is taking too long.
This patch adds a way for the user to specify a custom agent timeout
that is applied to all agent commands.
One special case to note here is the 'guest-sync' command. 'guest-sync'
is issued internally prior to calling any other command. (For example,
when libvirt wants to call 'guest-get-fsinfo', we first call
'guest-sync' and then call 'guest-get-fsinfo').
Previously, the 'guest-sync' command used a 5-second timeout
(VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_DEFAULT), whereas the actual command that
followed always blocked indefinitely
(VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_BLOCK). As part of this patch, if a
custom timeout is specified that is shorter than
5 seconds, this new timeout is also used for 'guest-sync'. If there is
no custom timeout or if the custom timeout is longer than 5 seconds, we
will continue to use the 5-second timeout.

When using the fine grained access control mechanism for APIs, when a
client connects to libvirtd, the latter will fetch the uid, gid, selinux
info of the remote client on the UNIX domain socket. This is then used
as the identity when checking ACLs.
With the new split daemons things are a bit more complicated. The user
can connect to virtproxyd, which in turn connects to virtqemud. When
virtqemud requests the identity over the UNIX domain socket, it will
get the identity that virtproxyd is running as, not the identity of
the real end user/application.
virproxyd knows what the real identity is, and needs to be able to
forward this information to virtqemud. The virConnectSetIdentity API
provides a mechanism for doing this. Obviously virtqemud should not
accept such identity overrides from any client, it must only honour it
from a trusted client, aka one running as the same uid/gid as itself.
The typed parameters exposed in the API are the same as those currently
supported by the internal virIdentity class, with a few small name
changes.

Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints.
Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both
represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists
with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint
exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time. We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage
checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned
hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking
metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred
the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate
API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it.
Note that until we allow snapshots and checkpoints to exist
simultaneously on the same domain (although the actual prevention of
this will be in a separate patch for the sake of an easier revert down
the road), that it is not possible to branch out to create more than
one checkpoint child to a given parent, although it may become
possible later when we revert to a snapshot that coincides with a
checkpoint. This also means that for now, the decision of which
checkpoint becomes the parent of a newly created one is the only
checkpoint with no child (so while there are APIs for dealing with a
current snapshot, we do not need those for checkpoints). We may end
up exposing a notion of a current checkpoint later, but it's easier to
add stuff when proven needed than to blindly support it now and wish
we hadn't exposed it.
The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs
on the right:
Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child:
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML virDomainCheckpointCreateXML
Operate on a child object for lifetime management:
virDomainSnapshotDelete virDomainCheckpointDelete
virDomainSnapshotFree virDomainCheckpointFree
virDomainSnapshotRef virDomainCheckpointRef
Operate on a child object to learn more about it:
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc virDomainCheckpointGetXMLDesc
virDomainSnapshotGetConnect virDomainCheckpointGetConnect
virDomainSnapshotGetDomain virDomainCheckpointGetDomain
virDomainSnapshotGetName virDomainCheckpiontGetName
virDomainSnapshotGetParent virDomainCheckpiontGetParent
virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata (deferred for later)
virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
Operate on a domain object to list all children:
virDomainSnapshotNum (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllSnapshots virDomainListAllCheckpoints
Operate on a child object to list descendents:
virDomainSnapshotNumChildren (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren virDomainCheckpointListAllChildren
Operate on a domain to locate a particular child:
virDomainSnapshotLookupByName virDomainCheckpointLookupByName
virDomainSnapshotCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot (no counterpart, old racy interface)

We've been doing a terrible job of performing XML validation in our
various API that parse XML with a corresponding schema (we started
with domains back in commit dd69a14f, v1.2.12, but didn't catch all
domain-related APIs, didn't document the use of the flag, and didn't
cover other XML). New APIs (like checkpoints) should do the validation
unconditionally, but it doesn't hurt to continue retrofitting existing
APIs to at least allow the option.
While there are many APIs that could be improved, this patch focuses
on wiring up a new snapshot XML creation flag through all the
hypervisors that support snapshots, as well as exposing it in 'virsh
snapshot-create'. For 'virsh snapshot-create-as', we blindly set the
flag without a command-line option, since the XML we create from the
command line should generally always comply (note that validation
might cause failures where it used to succeed, such as if we tighten
the RNG to reject a name of '../\n'); but blindly passing the flag
means we also have to add in fallback code to disable validation if
the server is too old to understand the flag.

When using virDomainSnapshotCreateXML with the REDEFINE flag on
multiple snapshot metadata XML descriptions, we require that a child
cannot be redefined before its parent. Since libvirt already tracks a
DAG, it is more convenient if we can ensure that
virDomainListAllSnapshots() and friends have a way to return data in
an order that we can directly reuse, rather than having to
post-process the data ourselves to reconstruct the DAG.
Add VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_TOPOLOGICAL as our new guarantee (well, a
guarantee at the time of the API call conclusion; there's always a
possible TOCTTOU race where someone redefining snapshots in between
the API results and the client actually using the list might render
the list out-of-date). Four listing APIs are directly benefitted by
the new flag; additionally, since we document that the older racy
ListNames interfaces should be sized by using the same flags on their
Num counterparts, the Num interfaces must document when they accept
(and ignore) the flag.
We could have supported the new flag just for the ListAll APIs (to
discourage people from using the older racy Num/ListNames APIs), but
it feels weird to special-case this flag value as being applicable to
only a subset of the API while all other List-related flags are
trivially applicable to all 6.
