Laine Stump b204941865 qemu_hotplug: pull qemuDomainUpdateDeviceList out of qemuDomainDetachDeviceLive
qemuDomainDetachDeviceLive() is called from two places in
qemu_driver.c, and qemuDomainUpdateDeviceList() is called from the
end of qemuDomainDetachDeviceLive(), which is now in qemu_hotplug.c

This patch replaces the single call to qemuDomainUpdateDeviceList()
with two calls to it immediately after return from
qemuDomainDetachDeviceLive(). This is only done if the return from
that function is exactly 0, in order to exactly preserve previous
behavior.

Removing that one call from qemuDomainDetachDeviceList() will permit
us to call it from the test driver hotplug test, replacing the
separate calls to qemuDomainDetachDeviceDiskLive(),
qemuDomainDetachChrDevice(), qemuDomainDetachShmemDevice() and
qemuDomainDetachWatchdog(). We want to do this so that part of the
common functionality of those three functions (and the rest of the
device-specific Detach functions) can be pulled up into
qemuDomainDetachDeviceLive() without breaking the test. (This is done
in the next patch).

NB: Almost certainly this is "not the best place" to call
qemuDomainUpdateDeviceList() (actually, it is provably the *wrong*
place), since it's purpose is to retrieve an "up to date" list of
aliases for all devices from qemu, and if the guest OS hasn't yet
processed the detach request, the now-being-removed device may still
be on that list. It would arguably be better to instead call
qemuDomainUpdateDevicesList() later during the response to the
DEVICE_DELETED event for the device. But removing the call from the
current point in the detach could have some unforeseen ill effect due
to changed timing, so the change to move it into
qemuDomainRemove*Device() will be done in a separate patch (in order
to make it easily revertible in case it causes a regression).

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:

https://libvirt.org

License

The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.

Installation

Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install

While to build & install as an unprivileged user

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install

The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.

Contributing

The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
