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.

This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983026 The netcf interface driver previously had no state driver associated with it - as a connection was opened, it would create a new netcf instance just for that connection, and close it when it was finished. the problem with this is that each connection to libvirt used up a netlink socket, and there is a per process maximum of ~1000 netlink sockets. The solution is to create a state driver to go along with the netcf driver. The state driver will opens a netcf instance, then all connections share that same netcf instance, thus only a single netlink socket will be used no matter how many connections are mde to libvirtd. This was rather simple to do - a new virObjectLockable class is created for the single driverState object, which is created in netcfStateInitialize and contains the single netcf handle; instead of creating a new object for each client connection, netcfInterfaceOpen now just increments the driverState object's reference count and puts a pointer to it into the connection's privateData. Similarly, netcfInterfaceClose() just un-refs the driverState object (as does netcfStateCleanup()), and virNetcfInterfaceDriverStateDispose() handles closing the netcf instance. Since all the functions already have locking around them, the static lock functions used by all functions just needed to be changed to call virObjectLock() and virObjectUnlock() instead of directly calling the virMutex* functions. |

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.
