A preparatory patch for DHCP snooping where we want to be able to differentiate between a VM's interface using the tuple of <VM UUID, Interface MAC address>. We assume that MAC addresses could possibly be re-used between different networks (VLANs) thus do not only want to rely on the MAC address to identify an interface. At the current 'final destination' in virNWFilterInstantiate I am leaving the vmuuid parameter as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED until the DHCP snooping patches arrive. (we may not post the DHCP snooping patches for 0.9.9, though) Mostly this is a pretty trivial patch. On the lowest layers, in lxc_driver and uml_conf, I am passing the virDomainDefPtr around until I am passing only the VM's uuid into the NWFilter calls.
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.
