Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Eric Blake 1bfe73a126 blockjob: use stable disk string in job event
When the block job event was first added, it was for block pull,
where the active layer of the disk remains the same name.  It was
also in a day where we only cared about local files, and so we
always had a canonical absolute file name.  But two things have
changed since then: we now have network disks, where determining
a single absolute string does not really make sense; and we have
two-phase jobs (copy and active commit) where the name of the
active layer changes between the first event (ready, on the old
name) and second (complete, on the pivoted name).

Adam Litke reported that having an unstable string between events
makes life harder for clients.  Furthermore, all of our API that
operate on a particular disk of a domain accept multiple strings:
not only the absolute name of the active layer, but also the
destination device name (such as 'vda').  As this latter name is
stable, even for network sources, it serves as a better string
to supply in block job events.

But backwards-compatibility demands that we should not change the
name handed to users unless they explicitly request it.  Therefore,
this patch adds a new event, BLOCK_JOB_2 (alas, I couldn't think of
any nicer name - but at least Migrate2 and Migrate3 are precedent
for a number suffix).  We must double up on emitting both old-style
and new-style events according to what clients have registered for
(see also how IOError and IOErrorReason emits double events, but
there the difference was a larger struct rather than changed
meaning of one of the struct members).

Unfortunately, adding a new event isn't something that can easily
be broken into pieces, so the commit is rather large.

for VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_JOB_2.

* src/conf/domain_event.c (_virDomainEventBlockJob): Rename field,
to ensure we catch all clients.
(virDomainEventBlockJobNew): Add parameter.
(virDomainEventBlockJobDispose)
(virDomainEventBlockJobNewFromObj)
(virDomainEventBlockJobNewFromDom)
(virDomainEventDispatchDefaultFunc): Adjust clients.
(virDomainEventBlockJob2NewFromObj)
(virDomainEventBlockJob2NewFromDom): New functions.
* src/conf/domain_event.h: Add new prototypes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_event.h): Export new functions.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Generate two
different events.
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessHandleBlockJob): Likewise.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x
(remote_domain_event_block_job_2_msg): New struct.
(REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_EVENT_BLOCK_JOB_2): New RPC.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c
(remoteDomainBuildEventBlockJob2): New handler.
(remoteEvents): Register new event.

(domainEventCallbacks): Register new event.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
