0925189713 domain_conf: Add USB controler model "none"
Libvirt adds a USB controller to the guest even if the user does not
specify any in the XML. This is due to back-compat reasons.

To allow disabling USB for a guest this patch adds a new USB controller
type "none" that disables USB support for the guest.

5e21da5630 build: regenerate .png files
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.

29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
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>

To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.

6510c97bf5 Add some missing hook functions
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

have at least a source element. (Most likely the example was copied

7bff56a0d1 build: fix 'make distcheck' issues
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.
             Prerequisite `libvirt_probes.h' is newer than target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
            Must remake target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
Invoking recipe from Makefile:7464 to update target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/remote/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/build/libvirt-0.9.12/_build/src'
  GEN    ../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h
cannot create ../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h: Permission denied at ../../src/rpc/genprotocol.pl line 31.
make[3]: *** [../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h] Error 13

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
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2511, in <module>
    rebuild("libvirt")
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2495, in rebuild
    builder.serialize()
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2424, in serialize
    output = open(filename, "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '../../docs/libvirt-api.xml'
make[5]: *** [../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp] Error 1

and fixing that exposed another case of a distributed file (generated
html) depending on a built file (libvirt.h), but only when doing an
in-tree build, because of a file glob.

* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_driver.c): Change...
(libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo): ...to the real
dependency.

cec281fcaa nwfilter: add DHCP snooping
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.

74951eadef storage backend: Add RBD (RADOS Block Device) support
This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.

RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.

It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.

To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.

The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.

For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

a3f3ab4c9c nwfilter: Add support for ipset
This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.

On the command line iptables supports ipset using

iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...

where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT

Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset 
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.

Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:

  <rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
  </rule>

The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.

FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:

97010eb1f1 numad: Set memory policy from numad advisory nodeset
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.

This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:

  <numatune>
    <memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
  </numatune>

Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.

If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".

The following XML can now fully drive numad:

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
   <numatune>.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave'/>
   </numatune>

And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
   </numatune>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'

   <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
   </numatume>

A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

ba97e4edc6 domain_conf: add "default" to list of valid spice channels
qemu's behavior in this case is to change the spice server behavior to
require secure connection to any channel not otherwise specified as
being in plaintext mode. libvirt doesn't currently allow requesting this
(via plaintext-channel=<channel name>).

ae6aa8c396 blockjob: enhance xml to track mirrors across libvirtd restart
In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror.  Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front.  This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
      <mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
      ...
    </disk>

For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing).  The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase.  If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

684f3ebb6d docs: fix 'omitted' typo in <cputune> doc
'omitted' was mispelt 'commited' twice. One of the sentences with
the typo was also missing an 'is' ('each VCPU *is* pinned to all...')
which I added in this commit while I was at it.
