Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v8 0/4] Introduce API to query IP addresses for given domain

This feature has been requested for a very long time. Since qemu guest agent and leaseshelper give us reliable results, now the wait is over. The RFC was first proposed by Michal Privoznik: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00437.html A patch was submitted, using structs: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-June/msg00220.html Another patch was submitted, using XML: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-June/msg00904.html Neither of the patches were accepted, probably due to lack of extensibility and usability. Hence, we thought of using virTypedParameters for reporting list of interfaces along with their MAC address and IP addresses. The RFC can be found here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-July/msg00084.html The idea of extensibility was rejected and rendered out of scope of libvirt. Hence, we were back to structs. This API is called virDomainInterfaceAddresses which returns a dynamically allocated array of virDomainInterface struct. The great disadvantage is once this gets released, it's written in stone and we cannot change or add an item into it. The virsh CLI supports two methods: * Return information (list of all associated interfaces with MAC address and IP addresses) of all of the domain interfaces by default (if no interface name is provided) * Return information for the specified interface (if an interface name is provided) v8: * qemuDomainInterfaceAddresses: redo logic related to flags * Make sure that NIC(s) on guest is/are using libvirt virtual network before querying leaseshelper * domifaddr: change --network option from VSH_OT_DATA to VSH_OT_STRING v7: * Enable support for DHCP lease file parsing method * http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-December/msg00866.html v6: * Inclusion of flags, readonly check for guest agent connection * Correction of memory leaks, other small nits. * https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00350.html v5: * s/virDomainInterfacesAddresses/virDomainInterfaceAddresses. * Case for IP aliasing handled using virHashTable. * New test cases added, involving multiple and 0 IP addresse(s) per interface. * IP prefix changed from int to unsigned int. * Changes to practice libvirt habits. * https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00003.html v4: * Various style nits, indentation errors, memory leaks fixed. * https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg01265.html v3: * Upper bounds to number of interfaces and addresses per interface introduced. * Change from array of structs to array of pointers * ifaces_count moved from function argument to return value * Changes in variable names * Test cases added for qemuAgentGetInterfaces. * https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg01215.html v2: * Logical errors, memory leaks and few other errors fixed. * https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg00631.html v1: * http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-July/msg01553.html Nehal J Wani (4): domifaddr: Implement the public APIs domifaddr: Implement the remote protocol domifaddr: Implement the API for qemu domifaddr: Add virsh support daemon/remote.c | 134 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/libvirt/libvirt-domain.h | 27 ++++++ src/driver-hypervisor.h | 5 + src/libvirt-domain.c | 129 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_public.syms | 6 ++ src/qemu/qemu_agent.c | 202 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_agent.h | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 173 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_driver.c | 100 +++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 36 ++++++- src/remote_protocol-structs | 24 +++++ tests/qemuagenttest.c | 188 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/virsh-domain-monitor.c | 141 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/virsh.pod | 16 ++++ 14 files changed, 1184 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.1.0
