At one point, the code passed through arbitrary strings for file
formats, which supposedly lets qemu handle a new file type even
before libvirt has been taught to handle it.  However, to properly
label files, libvirt has to learn the file type anyway, so we
might as well make our life easier by only accepting file types
that we are prepared to handle.  This patch lets the RNG validation
ensure that only known strings are let through.

Hypervisors are starting to support HyperV Enlightenment features that
improve behavior of guests running Microsoft Windows operating systems.

This patch adds support for the "relaxed" feature that improves timer
behavior and also establishes a framework to add these features in
future.

When startupPolicy set for a USB devices allows such device to be
missing, there was no way this could be detected from domain XML. With
this patch, libvirt emits a new missing='yes' attribute for such devices
when active domain XML is generated.

USB devices can disappear without OS being mad about it, which makes
them ideal for startupPolicy. With this attribute, USB devices can be
configured to be mandatory (the default), requisite (will disappear
during migration if they cannot be found), or completely optional.

Using this new element, one can configure an action that should be
performed when resource locks are lost.

While current on_{poweroff,reboot,crash} action configuration is about
configuring life cycle actions, they can all be considered events and
actions that need to be done on a particular event. Let's generalize the
code by renaming life cycle actions to event actions so that it can be
reused later for non-lifecycle events.

This allows the user to control labelling of each character device
separately (the default is to inherit from the VM).

Sometimes when guest machine crashes, coredump can get huge due to the
guest memory. This can be limited using madvise(2) system call and is
being used in QEMU hypervisor. This patch adds an option for configuring
that in the domain XML and related documentation.

Whenever the guest machine fails to boot, new parameter (reboot-timeout)
controls whether it should reboot and after how many ms it should do so.

Docs included.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Add document.
* docs/schemas/nodedev.rng: Move definition of "wwn" to ...
* docs/schemas/basictypes.rng: ...Here
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: Add schema for disk <wwn>

New options is added to support EOI (End of Interrupt) exposure for
guests. As it makes sense only when APIC is enabled, I added this into
the <apic> element in <features> because this should be tri-state
option (cannot be handled as standalone feature).

After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:

within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>

Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements.  If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.

Some examples:

  <interface type='hostdev'/>
    <vlan>
      <tag id='42'/>
    </vlan>
    <mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
    ...
  </interface>

  <network>
    <name>vlan-net</name>
    <vlan trunk='yes'>
      <tag id='30'/>
    </vlan>
    <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
  </network>

  <interface type='network'/>
    <source network='vlan-net'/>
    ...
  </interface>

  <network>
    <name>trunk-vlan</name>
    <vlan>
      <tag id='42'/>
      <tag id='43'/>
    </vlan>
    ...
  </network>

  <network>
    <name>multi</name>
    ...
    <portgroup name='production'/>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='42'/>
      </vlan>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='test'/>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='666'/>
      </vlan>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

  <interface type='network'/>
    <source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
    ...
  </interface>

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)

<portgroup> allows a <bandwidth> element, but the schema didn't have
this. Since this makes for multiple elements in portgroup, they must
be interleaved.

<interface type='bridge'> needs to allow <virtualport> elements
for openvswitch, but the schema didn't allow this.

Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections
counter, now each network has a connections counter which is
incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this
network.

The count is output in the live network XML, like this:

   <network connections='20'>
   ...
   </network>

It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used
internally anywhere by libvirt.

Until now, all attributes in a <virtualport> parameter list that were
acceptable for a particular type, were also required. There were no
optional attributes.

One of the aims of supporting <virtualport> in libvirt's virtual
networks and portgroups is to allow specifying the group-wide
parameters in the network's virtualport, and merge that with the
interface's virtualport, which will have the instance-specific info
(i.e. the interfaceid or instanceid).

Additionally, the guest's interface XML shouldn't need to know what
type of network connection will be used prior to runtime - it could be
openvswitch, 802.1Qbh, 802.1Qbg, or none of the above - but should
still be able to specify instance-specific info just in case it turns
out to be applicable.

Finally, up to now, the parser for virtualport has always generated a
random instanceid/interfaceid when appropriate, making it impossible
to leave it blank (which is what's required for virtualports within a
network/portprofile definition).

This patch modifies the parser and formatter of the <virtualport>
element in the following ways:

* because most of the attributes in a virNetDevVPortProfile are fixed
  size binary data with no reserved values, there is no way to embed a
  "this value wasn't specified" sentinel into the existing data. To
  solve this problem, the new *_specified fields in the
  virNetDevVPortProfile object that were added in a previous patch of
  this series are now set when the corresponding attribute is present
  during the parse.

* allow parsing/formatting a <virtualport> that has no type set. In
  this case, all fields are settable, but all are also optional.

* add a GENERATE_MISSING_DEFAULTS flag to the parser - if this flag is
  set and an instanceid/interfaceid is expected but not provided, a
  random one will be generated. This was previously the default
  behavior, but is now done only for virtualports inside an
  <interface> definition, not for those in <network> or <portgroup>.

* add a REQUIRE_ALL_ATTRIBUTES flag to the parser - if this flag is
  set the parser will call the new
  virNetDevVPortProfileCheckComplete() functions at the end of the
  parser to check for any missing attributes (based on type), and
  return failure if anything is missing. This used to be default
  behavior. Now it is only used for the virtualport defined inside an
  interface's <actual> element (by the time you've figured out the
  contents of <actual>, you should have all the necessary data to fill
  in the entire virtualport)

* add a REQUIRE_TYPE flag to the parser - if this flag is set, the
  parser will return an error if the virtualport has no type
  attribute. This also was previously the default behavior, but isn't
  needed in the case of the virtualport for a type='network' interface
  (i.e. the exact type isn't yet known), or the virtualport of a
  portgroup (i.e. the portgroup just has modifiers for the network's
  virtualport, which *does* require a type) - in those cases, the
  check will be done at domain startup, once the final virtualport is
  assembled (this is handled in the next patch).

The access, birth, modification and change times are added to
storage volumes and corresponding xml representations.  This
shows up in the XML in this format:

<timestamps>
  <atime>1341933637.027319099</atime>
  <mtime>1341933637.027319099</mtime>

Libvirt adds a USB controller to the guest even if the user does not

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.

A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.

A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.

In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

  <disk type='network'>
    ...
    <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
      <host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
    </source>
  </disk>

Introducing the attribute vendor_id to force the CPUID instruction
in a kvm guest to return the specified vendor.

Currently you can configure LXC to bind a host directory to

this itself, allowing it in the libvirt XML means a stricter

as we support qed format as well.

'boot' tag shouldn't be exclusive with 'kernel', 'initrd', and 'cmdline',

kernel directly. But it's useful if booting from kernel is to install

on the other hand, we allow 'boot' and the kernel tags when parsing.

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.

RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.

It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.

To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.

The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.

For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.

On the command line iptables supports ipset using

iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...

where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT

Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset 
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.

Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:

  <rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
  </rule>

The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.

FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:
