In order to hotplug a network/bridge backed NIC, we need to first create the tap file descriptor, add the tap interface to the bridge and then pass the file descriptor to the qemu process using the 'getfd' monitor command. Once the tapfd has been accepted, we create the network backend using host_net_add, supplying the name assigned to the tapfd. If this fails, we need to close the tapfd in qemu using the 'closefd' monitor command. If the version of qemu does not support the getfd/closefd monitor commands we detect "unknown command" in the getfd reply and fail the attach operation. * src/qemu_driver.c: add support for tapfd based hotplug in qemudDomainAttachNetDevice()
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.
