qemu: support type=hostdev network device live hotplug attach/detach
qemuDomainAttachNetDevice - re-ordered some things at start of function because networkAllocateActualDevice should always be run and a slot in def->nets always allocated, but host_net_add isn't needed if the actual type is hostdev. - if actual type is hostdev, defer to qemuDomainAttachHostDevice (which will reach up to the NetDef for things like MAC address when necessary). After return from qemuDomainAttachHostDevice, slip directly to cleanup, since the rest of the function is specific to emulated net devices. - put assignment of new NetDef into expanded def->nets down below cleanup: (but only on success) since it is also needed for emulated and hostdev net devices. qemuDomainDetachHostDevice - after locating the exact device to detach, check if it's a network device and, if so, use toplevel qemuDomainDetachNetDevice instead so that the def->nets list is properly updated, and 'actual device' properly returned to network pool if appropriate. Otherwise, for normal hostdevs, call the lower level qemuDomainDetachThisDevice. qemuDomainDetachNetDevice - This is where it gets a bit tricky. After locating the device on the def->nets list, if the network device type == hostdev, call the *lower level* qemuDomainDetachThisDevice (which will reach back up to the parent net device for MAC address / virtualport when appropriate, then clear the device out of def->hostdevs) before skipping past all the emulated net-device-specific code to cleanup:, where the network device is removed from def->nets, and the network device object is freed. In short, any time a hostdev-type network device is detached, we must go through the toplevel virDomaineDetachNetDevice function first and last, to make sure 1) the def->nnets list is properly managed, and 2) any device allocated with networkAllocateActualDevice is properly freed. At the same time, in the middle we need to go through the lower-level vidDomainDetach*This*HostDevice to be sure that 1) the def->hostdevs list is properly managed, 2) the PCI device is properly detached from the guest and reattached to the host (if appropriate), and 3) any higher level teardown is called at the appropriate time, by reaching back up to the NetDef config (part (3) will be covered in a separate patch).

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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
