Qemu accepts gluster protocol as supported storage backend beside

This patch allows users to specify disks on gluster backends like this:
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source protocol='gluster' name='volume/image'>
<host name='example.org' port='6000' transport='tcp'/>
+ <attribute name="transport">
+ <choice>
+ <value>tcp</value>
+ <value>unix</value>
+ <value>rdma</value>
+ </choice>

'transport' attribute is optional, so it should be placed inside
<optional> </optional> ?
Not necessarily, <zeroOrMore> works for it. You may want to test the
patch without specifying 'transport' attribute!
Deepak is right - the <attribute name="transport"> block must be
embedded in an <optional> block. <zeroOrMore> only applies to elements,
but as written, your zeroOrMore says that it is okay to omit the overall
<host> element, but that if you provide a <host> element, it MUST have a
transport='...' attribute, and that is not correct. For back-compat
reasons, ALL new attributes must be in an <optional> block since older
clients of the XML did not provide the new attributes.
Looking at the grammar, it appeared to me like what you said, however,
when I tested the patch, zeroOrMore worked successfully for the
transport attribute as well. However, I am willing to use <optional>
block for consistency.
I chose to check for only ':' to decide if its a IPv6 addr because it
doesnt make sense to be partial towards '.' What if someone specifies a
host name like 12:12;12,12 or 23:23,23,23 ? A '.' in an IPv6 addr is as
bad as any other invalid char.
'.' is valid in IPv6 addr. But yes, ':' is mandatory in IPv6, and
forbidden in IPv4, so it makes a good distinguishing test between the
two families.
So, are you suggesting to validate IPv4 only and that too based on the
absence of ':' and presence of '.'? Does that really suffice to validate
an IPv4 since any other special character is also an invalid separator
for IPv4 ?
