Fix incorrect implication about list options
The description of the list command seemed to suggest that it could
take a set of domains as an argument, which is not correct in the

When an incoming RPC message is ready for processing,
virNetServerClientDispatchRead()
will invoke the 'dispatchFunc' callback. This is set to
virNetServerDispatchNewMessage
This function puts the message + client in a queue for processing by the thread
pool. The thread pool worker function is
virNetServerHandleJob
The first thing this does is acquire an extra reference on the 'client'.
Unfortunately, between the time the message+client are put on the thread pool
queue, and the time the worker runs, the client object may have had its last
reference removed.
We clearly need to add the reference to the client object before putting the
client on the processing queue

The cpu bandwidth is applied at the vcpu group level. We should apply it
at the vm group level too, because the vm may do heavy I/O, and it will affect
the other vm.
We apply cpu bandwidth at the vcpu and the vm group level, so we must ensure
that max(child_quota) <= parent_quota when we modify cpu bandwidth.
The virNetSASLContext, virNetSASLSession, virNetTLSContext and
virNetTLSSession classes previously relied in their owners
(virNetClient / virNetServer / virNetServerClient) to provide
locking protection for concurrent usage. When virNetSocket
gained its own locking code, this invalidated the implicit
safety the SASL/TLS modules relied on. Thus we need to give
them all explicit locking of their own via new mutexes.

When setting up a server socket, we must skip EADDRINUSE errors
from bind, since the IPv6 socket bind may have already bound to

at all though, we should then report the EADDRINUSE error as
normal.
This fixes the case where libvirtd would not exit if some other
program was listening on its TCP/TLS ports.

util: change virFile*Pid functions to return < 0 on failure
Although most functions in libvirt return 0 on success and < 0 on
failure, there are a few functions lingering around that return errno
(a positive value) on failure, and sometimes code calling those
functions incorrectly assumes the <0 standard. I noticed one of these
the other day when auditing networkStartDhcpDaemon after Guido Gunther
found a place where success was improperly returned on failure (that
patch has been acked and is pending a push). The problem was that it
expected the return value from virFileReadPid to be < 0 on failure,
but it was actually positive (it was also neglected to set the return
code in this case, similar to the bug found by Guido).
This all led to the fact that *all* of the virFile*Pid functions in
util.c are returning errno on failure. This patch remedies that
problem by changing them all to return -errno on failure, and makes
any necessary changes to callers of the functions. (In the meantime, I
also properly set the return code on failure of virFileReadPid in
networkStartDhcpDaemon).

semantics of the 'expire_offset' field in the test case struct
so that instead of being an absolute timestamp, it was a delta
relative to the current time. This broke the test cases which
were testing expiry of certificates, by putting the expiry
time into the future, instead of in the past.
Fix this by changing the expiry values to be negative, so that
the delta goes into the past again.

network: provide internal API to return IP of a network

Some networks have an IP address explicitly in their configuration

those, we can just return the IP address from the config.
The rest will have a physical device associated with them (either via
<bridge name='...'/>, <forward ... dev='...'/>, or possibly via a pool
of interfaces inside the network's <forward> element) and we will need
to ask the kernel for a current IP address of that device (via the
newly added ifaceGetIPAddress)
If networkGetNetworkAddress encounters an error while trying to learn
the address for a network, it will return -1. In the case that libvirt
has been compiled without the network driver, the call is a macro
which reduces to -2. This allows differentiating between a failure of
the network driver, and its complete absence.

util: make interface.c functions consistently return < 0 on error

network: separate Start/Shutdown functions for new network types
Previously all networks were composed of bridge devices created and

of them when they were started and stopped (create and start the
bridge device, configure its MAC address and IP address, add iptables
rules). The new network types are (for now at least) managed outside
of libvirt, and the network object is used only to contain information
about the network, which is then used as each individual guest
connects itself.
This means that when starting/stopping one of these new networks, we
really want to do nothing, aside from marking the network as
active/inactive.
This has been setup as toplevel Start/Shutdown functions that do the
small bit of common stuff, then have a switch statement to execute
network type-specific start/shutdown code, then do a bit more common
code. The type-specific functions called for the new host bridge and
macvtap based types are currently empty.
In the future these functions may actually do something, and we will
surely add more functions that are similarly patterned. Once
everything has settled, we can make a table of "sub-driver" function
pointers for each network type, and store a pointer to that table in
the network object, then we can replace the switch statements with
calls to functions in the table.
The final step in this will be to add a new table (and corresponding
new functions) for new network types as they are added.
The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
both on input, they must match.
2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
are supported:
private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:
where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
selected from the list given in <forward>.
bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:
3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
"portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
interface.
4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
portgroups on the network.

conf: support abstracted interface info in domain interface XML
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:
1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')
2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.
3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.
The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).

conf: virDomainNetDef points to (rather than contains) virtPortProfile
The virtPortProfile in the domain interface struct is now a separately
allocated object *pointed to by* (rather than contained in) the main
virDomainNetDef object. This is done to make it easier to figure out
when a virtualPortProfile has/hasn't been specified in a particular
config.

conf: put virtPortProfile struct / functions in a common location
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).
