[libvirt] [PATCH v4 0/5] domainRename API implementation

This is an effort to implement domain rename API. Presented patch series consists of the following: virDomainRename API implementation for qemu, implementation of the virsh command domrename and the additional support code. The idea behind this endeavor is to provide convenient and safe way to rename a domain. Instead of the: virsh dumpxml domain > domain.xml (change domain name in domain.xml) virsh undefine domain virsh define domain.xml user can simply type: virsh domrename foo bar or call virDomainRename() API and domain "foo" will be renamed to "bar". We currently support only renaming inactive domains without snapshots. Renaming procedure takes care of domain log, config, guest agent path and should be able to recover in case of failure. I've been working on this functionality in collaboration with Michal Privoznik who is my mentor during the GSoC 2015. If you have any questions, ideas or criticism feel free to join the discussion. v2: - removed guest agent path rename code - removed rename permission - added code for emitting undefined+renamed event for the old domain v3: - removed domain rename permission - fixed virDomainRename doc comment - added @flags parameter to the virDomainRename API v4: - removed ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED from the @flags parameter - added virCheckFlags() call - added flags to the remote_domain_rename_args Tomas Meszaros (5): Introduce virDomainRename API virsh: Implement "domrename" command domain_conf: Introducde virDomainObjListRenameAddNew() & virDomainObjListRenameRemove() Introduce new VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_DEFINED_RENAMED event qemu: Implement virDomainRename examples/object-events/event-test.c | 4 + include/libvirt/libvirt-domain.h | 6 ++ src/conf/domain_conf.c | 35 +++++++++ src/conf/domain_conf.h | 5 ++ src/driver-hypervisor.h | 6 ++ src/libvirt-domain.c | 35 +++++++++ src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/libvirt_public.syms | 5 ++ src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 147 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_driver.c | 1 + src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 18 ++++- src/remote_protocol-structs | 9 +++ tools/virsh-domain.c | 63 +++++++++++++++- tools/virsh.pod | 7 ++ 14 files changed, 340 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.1.0
