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.

Wido den Hollander 34872ca461 rbd: Add support for wiping RBD volumes using TRIM.
Using VIR_STORAGE_VOL_WIPE_ALG_TRIM a RBD volume can be trimmed down
to 0 bytes using rbd_discard()

Effectively all the data on the volume will be lost/gone, but the volume
remains available for use afterwards.

Starting at offset 0 the storage pool will call rbd_discard() in stripe
size * count increments which is usually 4MB. Stripe size being 4MB and
count 1.

rbd_discard() is available since Ceph version Dumpling (0.67) which dates
back to August 2013.

         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.
