Daniel P. Berrange aae0fc2a92 Add support for <hostdev mode="capabilities"> ... The <hostdev> device type has long had a redundant "mode" attribute, which has always been "subsys". This finally introduces a new mode "capabilities", which will be used by the LXC driver for device assignment. Since container based virtualization uses a single kernel, the idea of assigning physical PCI devices doesn't make sense. It is still reasonable to assign USB devices, but for assigning arbitrary nodes in /dev, the new 'capabilities' mode is to be used. The first capability support is 'storage', which is for assignment of block devices. Functionally this is really pretty similar to the <disk> support. The only difference is the device node name is identical in both host and container namespaces. <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='storage'> <source> <block>/dev/sdf1</block> </source> </hostdev> The second capability support is 'misc', which is for assignment of character devices. There is no existing parallel to this. Again the device node is the same inside & outside the container. <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'> <source> <char>/dev/input/event3</char> </source> </hostdev> The reason for keeping the char & storage devices separate in the domain XML, is to mirror the split in the node device XML. NB the node device XML does not yet report character devices, but that's another new patch to come Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>		2012-12-17 17:50:50 +00:00
