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.

There were two API in driver.c that were silently masking flags bits prior to calling out to the drivers, and several others that were explicitly masking flags bits. This is not forward-compatible - if we ever have that many flags in the future, then talking to an old server that masks out the flags would be indistinguishable from talking to a new server that can honor the flag. In general, libvirt.c should forward _all_ flags on to drivers, and only the drivers should reject unknown flags. In the case of virDrvSecretGetValue, the solution is to separate the internal driver callback function to have two parameters instead of one, with only one parameter affected by the public API. In the case of virDomainGetXMLDesc, it turns out that no one was ever mixing VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_STATUS with the dumpxml path in the first place; that internal flag was only used in saving and restoring state files, which happened to be in functions internal to a single file, so there is no mixing of the internal flag with a public flags argument. Additionally, virDomainMemoryStats passed a flags argument over RPC, but not to the driver. * src/driver.h (VIR_DOMAIN_XML_FLAGS_MASK) (VIR_SECRET_GET_VALUE_FLAGS_MASK): Delete. (virDrvSecretGetValue): Separate out internal flags. (virDrvDomainMemoryStats): Provide missing flags argument. * src/driver.c (verify): Drop unused check. * src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainObjParseFile): Delete declaration. (virDomainXMLInternalFlags): Move... * src/conf/domain_conf.c: ...here. Delete redundant include. (virDomainObjParseFile): Make static. * src/libvirt.c (virDomainGetXMLDesc, virSecretGetValue): Update clients. (virDomainMemoryPeek, virInterfaceGetXMLDesc) (virDomainMemoryStats, virDomainBlockPeek, virNetworkGetXMLDesc) (virStoragePoolGetXMLDesc, virStorageVolGetXMLDesc) (virNodeNumOfDevices, virNodeListDevices, virNWFilterGetXMLDesc): Don't mask unknown flags. * src/interface/netcf_driver.c (interfaceGetXMLDesc): Reject unknown flags. * src/secret/secret_driver.c (secretGetValue): Update clients. * src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteSecretGetValue) (remoteDomainMemoryStats): Likewise. * src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessGetVolumeQcowPassphrase): Likewise. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMemoryStats): Likewise. * daemon/remote.c (remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats): Likewise. |

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.
