similar to: [PATCH v2 API PROPOSAL 0/5] inspection Add network interfaces to inspection data.

As part of the fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1626503 I'm proposing to add two new APIs to fetch information about the list of network interfaces of an existing guest. These two patches outline the proposed API but with no implementation or tests. However they can be applied and compiled. Please see the second patch for the proposed API. I have a mostly working

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00047.html v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00051.html v3: - Back to using string/string_format and attribute/attribute_format. - Add both single_element and single_element_format. - Rebased and retested. Rich.

Consolidate and extend the use of funky start_element() etc macros. Rich.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00047.html However it was broken in a few ways. First of all the documentation was broken because "/**" enhanced comments were not permitted on macros. This is fixed in the new 1/4 patch. Secondly we didn't use single_element() everywhere possible, which is fixed in the new 4/4 patch. Lastly I've

This preliminary patch series adds a libvirt backend to libguestfs. It's for review only because although it launches the guest OK, there are some missing features that need to be implemented. The meat of the patch is in part 4/4. To save you the trouble of interpreting libxml2 fragments, an example of the generated XML and the corresponding qemu command line are attached below. Note the

QEMU upstream has broken snapshot=on ... again. These two patches stop using it entirely. Instead we run 'qemu-img create' to create overlay disks as required. Note that the libvirt and UML backends were already doing this: The libvirt backend because <transient/> has never worked, and the UML backend was running uml_mkcow because the UML-equivalent syntax of snapshot=on was

This is, I guess, version 3 of this patch series which adds disk labels and hotplugging (only hot-add implemented so far). The good news is .. it works! Rich.

Link to version 1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-February/thread.html#00122 Changes since version 1: - I've pushed two (of the three) code refactoring patches. The third one proved rather hard to move. - selinuxnorelabel option is no more. Instead there is a second internal API (internal_set_libvirt_selinux_norelabel_disks). - fixed bogus commit message -

This rounds off hotplugging support by allowing you to add and remove drives at any stage (before and after launch). Rich.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912499 (especially comments 7 & 10) This patch set is the final fix so that we can access disks in use by other guests when SELinux and sVirt are enabled. Previously such disks were inaccessible because sVirt labels the disks with a random SELinux label to prevent other instances of qemu from being able to read them. So naturally the libguestfs

Here's the new API method and update to virt-inspector. I still need to implement app_arch for debian and windows (if applicable), for now they just return empty strings. New in v2: incorporated feedback from v1, also added patch #3 which updates the documentation where it references the deprecated API. Take it or leave it.

v9 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00139.html This depends on these three series (the first two being single minor patches): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00207.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00209.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00215.html There is no substantive change.

This depends on the patch series "[PATCH 00/27] Reimplement many daemon APIs in OCaml." (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00098.html) v8 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00274.html v9: - I split up the mega-patch into a more reviewable series of smaller, incremental patches. There are some other changes vs v8, but

This fixes almost everything. Note that it adds an extra commit which fixes the whole utf8/iconv business. It's probably better to list what isn't fixed: (1) I didn't leave the osinfo code around because I'm still haven't looked too closely at virt-builder-repository. Can't we just fetch this code from the git history when we need it? (2) I didn't change the way

v10: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00245.html No actual change here, but I rebased and retested. Also this series now does not depend on any other patch series since everything else needed is upstream. Rich.
