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 library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* hyperv/ - Microsoft Hyper-V support using WinRM
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* phyp/ - IBM Power Hypervisor using CLI tools over SSH
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* uml/ - User Mode Linux
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
* xenapi/ - Xen using libxenserver
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU, UML and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Hyper-V, Power Hypervisor, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
