This patch series supports the forward mode='hostdev'. The functionality of this mode is the same as interface type='hostdev' but with the added benefit of using interface pools. The patch series also contains a patch to support use of interface names and PCI device addresses interchangeably in a network xml, and return the appropriate one in actualDevice when networkAllocateActualDevice is called. At the top level managed attribute can be specified with identical results as when it's specified for a hostdev. Currently forward mode='hostdev' does not support USB devices. Shradha Shah (6): Prerequisite Patch. virDomainDevicePCIAddress and respective functions moved to a new file called conf/device_conf.ch Moved the code to create implicit interface pool from PF to a new function RNG updates, new xml parser/formatter code to support forward mode=hostdev Code to return interface name or pci_addr of the VF in actualDevice Forward Mode Hostdev network driver Implementation Forward Mode 'Hostdev' qemu driver implementation docs/formatnetwork.html.in | 62 ++++++ docs/schemas/network.rng | 82 ++++++++- src/Makefile.am | 7 +- src/conf/device_conf.c | 135 +++++++++++++ src/conf/device_conf.h | 65 +++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 114 ++---------- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 25 +--- src/conf/network_conf.c | 126 +++++++++++-- src/conf/network_conf.h | 29 +++- src/libvirt_private.syms | 10 +- src/network/bridge_driver.c | 322 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 27 ++- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 7 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 14 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h | 17 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c | 14 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h | 14 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c | 16 +- src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h | 14 +- src/util/virnetdev.c | 29 ++-- src/util/virnetdev.h | 4 +- src/xen/xend_internal.c | 3 +- tests/networkxml2xmlin/hostdev-pf.xml | 11 + tests/networkxml2xmlin/hostdev.xml | 10 + tests/networkxml2xmlout/hostdev-pf.xml | 7 + tests/networkxml2xmlout/hostdev.xml | 10 + tests/networkxml2xmltest.c | 2 + 27 files changed, 889 insertions(+), 287 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/conf/device_conf.c create mode 100644 src/conf/device_conf.h create mode 100644 tests/networkxml2xmlin/hostdev-pf.xml create mode 100644 tests/networkxml2xmlin/hostdev.xml create mode 100644 tests/networkxml2xmlout/hostdev-pf.xml create mode 100644 tests/networkxml2xmlout/hostdev.xml -- 1.7.4.4 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
