Before, URIs such as esx+ssh:// have been declined by the ESX driver
resulting in the remote driver trying to connect to an non-existing
libvirtd.

Now such URIs trigger an error in the ESX driver suggesting to try
again without the transport part in the scheme.

This patch is based on a improvement suggested by Kazuhiro Kikuchi
of Fujitsu, it gives a description of the target parameter for that
command

* tools/virsh.pod: add description for target parameter of
  attach-interface

The man page suggest that the cpu_shares parameter of schedinfo
allows values 0-262144, but the kernel remaps values 0 and 1 to
the minimum 2, just document that behaviour:

[root@test ~]# cat /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
1024
[root@test ~]# echo 0 > /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
[root@test ~]# cat /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
2
[root@test ~]# echo 1 > /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
[root@test ~]# cat /cgroup/cpu/libvirt/qemu/cpu.shares
2
[root@test ~]#

* tools/virsh.pod: update description of the cpu_shares parameter
  to indicate the values 0 and 1 are automatically changed by the
  kernel to minimal value 2

If the daemon is restarted so we reconnect to monitor, cdrom media
can be ejected. In that case we don't want to show it in domain xml,
or require it on migration destination.

To check for disk status use 'info block' monitor command.

* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c: if 'vmdef' is NULL, the function
  virDomainSaveConfig still dereferences it, it doesn't make
  sense, so should add return value check to make sure 'vmdef'
  is non-NULL before calling virDomainSaveConfig, in addition,
  in order to debug later, also should record error information
  into log.

First hypervisor implementation of the new API.
Allows 'virsh snapshot-list --tree' to be more efficient.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotGetParent): New
function.

Reuse the tree listing of nodedev-list, coupled with the new helper
function to efficiently grab snapshot parent names, to produce
tree output for a snapshot hierarchy.  For example:

$ virsh snapshot-list dom --tree
root1
 |
  +- sibling1
  +- sibling2
  |   |
  |   +- grandchild
  |
  +- sibling3

root2
 |
  +- child

* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add --tree.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document it.

Make parent computation reusable, using virDomainSnapshotGetParent
when possible.

* tools/virsh.c (vshGetSnapshotParent): New helper.
(cmdSnapshotParent): Use it.

Mostly straight-forward, although this is the first API that
returns a new snapshot based on a snapshot rather than a domain.

* src/remote/remote_protocol.x
(REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_GET_PARENT): New rpc.
(remote_domain_snapshot_get_parent_args)
(remote_domain_snapshot_get_parent_ret): New structs.
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Adjust generator.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remote_driver): Use it.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: Update.

Although a client can already obtain a snapshot's parent by
dumping and parsing the xml, then doing a snapshot lookup by
name, it is more efficient to get the parent in one step, which
in turn will make operations that must traverse a snapshot
hierarchy easier to perform.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSnapshotGetParent):
Declare.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotGetParent): New function.
* src/libvirt_public.syms: Export it.
* src/driver.h (virDrvDomainSnapshotGetParent): New callback.

Coupled with the recent virsh nodedev-* doc patch, this should now
give a better picture of libvirt node device handling.

* docs/formatnode.html.in: Fill in page.

This section of the man page was completely missing; I stumbled on
it when I had no clue that I had to use nodedev-reattach after
I was done playing with <hostdev> device passthrough to one of my
guests.

* tools/virsh.pod (NODEDEV COMMANDS): New section.
(attach-device, detach-device): Add cross-references.

This patch fixes the regression with using named pipes for qemu serial
devices noted in:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740478

The problem was that, while new code in libvirt looks for a single
bidirectional fifo of the name given in the config, then relabels that
and continues without looking for / relabelling the two unidirectional
fifos named ${name}.in and ${name}.out, qemu looks in the opposite
order. So if the user had naively created all three fifos, libvirt
would relabel the bidirectional fifo to allow qemu access, but qemu
would attempt to use the two unidirectional fifos and fail (because it
didn't have proper permissions/rights).

This patch changes the order that libvirt looks for the fifos to match
what qemu does - first it looks for the dual fifos, then it looks for
the single bidirectional fifo. If it finds the dual unidirectional
fifos first, it labels/chowns them and ignores any possible
bidirectional fifo.

(Note commit d37c6a3a (which first appeared in libvirt-0.9.2) added
the code that checked for a bidirectional fifo. Prior to that commit,
bidirectional fifos for serial devices didn't work because libvirt
always required the ${name}.(in|out) fifos to exist, and qemu would
always prefer those.

Thus, when libvirtd is restarted, it will know if a domain is supposed
to be killed or reset when it shuts down.

If a domain started with -no-shutdown shuts down while libvirtd is not
running, it will be seen as paused when libvirtd reconnects to it. Use
the paused reason to detect if a domain was stopped because of shutdown
and finish the process just as if a SHUTDOWN event is delivered from
qemu.

Current qemu is able to give us detailed domain status (not just if it
is running or not) which we can translate into a status reason.

If migration failed in Prepare phase after virDomainAssignDef and before
a job was started, the domain object was not properly removed.

The AppArmor security driver adds only the path specified in the domain
XML for character devices of type 'pipe'. It should be using <path>.in
and <path>.out. We do this by creating a new vah_add_file_chardev() and
use it for char devices instead of vah_add_file(). Also adjust
valid_path() to accept S_FIFO (since qemu chardevs of type 'pipe' use
fifos). This is https://launchpad.net/bugs/832507

This patch cleans the cpu baseline function using new libvirt helper
functions and fixes XPath expression that selects <cpu> elements from
the source file, that can contain concatenated <capabilities> XMLs,
domain XMLs and bare <cpu> elements. The fixed XPath expression ensures
not to select NUMA <cpu id=... elements.

This patch also removes vshRealloc function, that remained unused after
cleaning up cpu-baseline.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731645

This patch adds extraction of the <cpu> element from capabilities and
domain definition XML documents to improve user experience.

pod2man from perl-5.8.8 (RHEL 5) errors out on ill-formed POD:

*** ERROR: unterminated I<...> at line 1114 in file virsh.pod
*** ERROR: unterminated I<...> at line 1851 in file virsh.pod

Newer pod2man appears to be more tolerant (which is a shame,
because it meant that this error is harder to detect).

* tools/virsh.pod (undefine, snapshot-current): Add missing >.

This patch was made in response to:

In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).

rombar is forced on/off by adding:

  <rom bar='on|off'/>

inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.

At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.

Commit ecd8725c dropped attempts to probe the cgconfig service on
new enough Fedora where systemd took over that aspect of the system,
but mistakenly used F14 instead of F15 as the cutoff point.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741358

Also, RHEL does not include HyperV support yet.

* libvirt.spec.in (with_cgconfig): Check cgconfig service in F15.
(%{?rhel}): Provide default for with_hyperv.

SIGTERM handling for -no-shutdown is already fixed in qemu git and
libvirt can safely use it. The downside is that 0.15.50 version of qemu
can be any qemu compiled from git, even that without the fix for
SIGTERM. However, I think this patch is worth it since excluding 0.15.50
from the check makes testing current qemu with libvirt much easier and
someone running qemu from git should be able to rebuild fixed qemu from
git if they hit the problem with a hang on shutdown.

Both --copy-storage-{all,inc} options require disk images to be present
on destination host.

Some virsh commands start a (long-running) job that can be monitored
using domjobinfo and aborted with domjobabort. Let's be explicit about
this in virsh man page.

As these might be not used and make syntax-check complains about checking
them via virCheckFlags.

Init scripts removed pid file of the daemon. Removing pid files may be
harmful as new api for crash-safe pidfiles is used (introduced by
c8a3a265).

as they are not used with debugging turned off.

* src/storage/storage_driver.c: As virStorageVolLookupByPath lookups
all the pool objs of the drivers, breaking when failing on getting
the stable path of the pool will just breaks the whole lookup process,
it can cause the API fails even if the vol exists indeed. It won't get
any benefit. This patch is to fix it.

QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.

  * Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
    as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
    is supported.

  * Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.

commit 984840a2 removed the
notification of waiting calls when VIR_NET_CONTINUE messages
arrive. This was to fix the case of a virStreamAbort() call
being prematurely notified of completion.

The problem is that sometimes there are dummy calls from a
virStreamRecv() call waiting that *do* need to be notified.

These dummy calls should have a status VIR_NET_CONTINUE. So
re-add the notification upon VIR_NET_CONTINUE, but only if
the waiter also has a status of VIR_NET_CONTINUE.

* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Notify waiting call if stream data
  arrives
* src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c:  Mark dummy stream read packet
  with status VIR_NET_CONTINUE

Previous patch c9b37fee tried to deal with virt_use_nfs. But
setfilecon() returns EOPNOTSUPP on NFS so we need to move the
warning to else branch.

Commit 0a22f542 added --min-guarantee option for the memtune command.
This option is supported only by the ESX hypervisor. This patch adds a
statement about this fact, to prevent user confusion.

This patch also adds explanation how to clear/set to unlimited the
memory tunables. (documments the -1 value).

Introduced by commit 42c52d53, which added the support for new
flags, but forgot to update the API use to pass the flags.

If a domain has inactive XML we want to transfer it to destination
when migrating with VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST. In order to harm
the migration protocol as least as possible, a optional cookie was
chosen.

The previous patch removed all snapshots, but not the directory
where the snapshots lived, which is still a form of stale data.

* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c (qemuDomainRemoveInactive): Wipe any
snapshot directory.
