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.

Daniel P. Berrange 71d793faaf Add support for an explicit IO error event
This introduces a new event type

   VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR

This event includes the action that is about to be taken
as a result of the watchdog triggering

  typedef enum {
     VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_NONE = 0,
     VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_PAUSE,
     VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_REPORT,
  } virDomainEventIOErrorAction;

In addition it has the source path of the disk that had the
error and its unique device alias. It does not include the
target device name (/dev/sda), since this would preclude
triggering IO errors from other file backed devices (eg
serial ports connected to a file)

Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type

typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventIOErrorCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
                                                     virDomainPtr dom,
                                                     const char *srcPath,
                                                     const char *devAlias,
                                                     int action,
                                                     void *opaque);

This is currently wired up to the QEMU block IO error events

* daemon/remote.c: Dispatch IO error events to client
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c: Watch for
  IO error events
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define new IO error event ID
  and callback signature
* src/conf/domain_event.c, src/conf/domain_event.h,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Extend API to handle IO error events
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Connect to the QEMU monitor event
  for block IO errors and emit a libvirt IO error event
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Receive and dispatch IO error
  events to application
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Wire protocol definition for
  IO error events
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
  src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Watch for BLOCK_IO_ERROR 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.
