Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv7 3/4] domifaddr: Implement the API for qemu

By querying the qemu guest agent with the QMP command "guest-network-get-interfaces" and converting the received JSON output to structured objects. Although "ifconfig" is deprecated, IP aliases created by "ifconfig" are supported by this API. The legacy syntax of an IP alias is: "<ifname>:<alias-name>". Since we want all aliases to be clubbed under parent interface, simply stripping ":<alias-name>" suffices. Note that IP aliases formed by "ip" aren't visible to "ifconfig", and aliases created by "ip" do not have any specific name. But we are lucky, as qemu guest agent detects aliases created by both. src/qemu/qemu_agent.h: * Define qemuAgentGetInterfaces src/qemu/qemu_agent.c: * Implement qemuAgentGetInterface src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: * New function qemuGetDHCPInterfaces * New function qemuDomainInterfaceAddresses src/remote_protocol-sructs: * Define new structs tests/qemuagenttest.c: * Add new test: testQemuAgentGetInterfaces Test cases for IP aliases, 0 or multiple ipv4/ipv6 address(es) Signed-off-by: Nehal J Wani <nehaljw.kkd1(a)gmail.com&gt; --- These are very minor changes, and rest of the patches in the series haven't been reviewed yet. Hence sending fix in the same version. :) src/qemu/qemu_agent.c | 202 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_agent.h | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 159 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/qemuagenttest.c | 188 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 553 insertions(+)
