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.
We weren't very consistent in our use of VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT; many users just passed __FUNCTION__ on, while others passed "%s" to silence over-eager compilers that warn about __FUNCTION__ not containing any %. It's nicer to route all these uses through a single macro, so that if we ever need to change the reporting, we can do it in one place. I verified that 'virsh -c test:///default qemu-monitor-command test foo' gives the same error message before and after this patch: error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainQemuMonitorCommand Note that in libvirt.c, we were inconsistent on whether virDomain* API used virLibConnError() (with VIR_FROM_NONE) or virLibDomainError() (with VIR_FROM_DOMAIN); this patch unifies these errors to all use VIR_FROM_NONE, on the grounds that it is unlikely that a caller learning that a call is unimplemented can do anything in particular with extra knowledge of which error domain it belongs to. One particular change to note is virDomainOpenGraphics which was trying to fail with VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT after a failed VIR_DRV_SUPPORTS_FEATURE check; all other places that fail a feature check report VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED. * src/util/virerror.h (virReportUnsupportedError): New macro. * src/libvirt-qemu.c: Use new macro. * src/libvirt-lxc.c: Likewise. * src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Likewise. * src/security/security_manager.c: Likewise. * src/util/virinitctl.c: Likewise. * src/libvirt.c: Likewise. (virDomainOpenGraphics): Use correct error for unsupported feature. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> |

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.
