The network and nwfilter drivers both have a need to update
firewall rules. The currently share no code for interacting
with iptables / firewalld. The nwfilter driver is fairly

which makes it very hard to port to talk to firewalld via
DBus APIs.
This patch introduces a virFirewallPtr object which is able
to represent a complete sequence of rule changes, with the
ability to have multiple transactional checkpoints with
rollbacks. By formally separating the definition of the rules
to be applied from the mechanism used to apply them, it is
also possible to write a firewall engine that uses firewalld

The current nwfilter tech driver API has a 'createRuleInstance' method
which populates virNWFilterRuleInstPtr with a command line string
containing variable placeholders. The 'applyNewRules' method then
expands the variables and executes the commands. This split of
responsibility won't work when switching to the virFirewallPtr
APIs, since we can't just build up command line strings. This patch
this merges the functionality of 'createRuleInstance' into the
applyNewRules method.
The virNWFilterRuleInstPtr struct is changed from holding an array
of opaque pointers, into holding generic metadata about the rules
to be processed. In essence this is the result of taking a linked
set of virNWFilterDefPtr's and flattening the tree to get a list
of virNWFilterRuleDefPtr's. At the same time we must keep track of
any nested virNWFilterObjPtr instances, so that the locks are held

A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas

Currently the log filter strings are used in a string comparison
against the source filename each time log message is emitted.
If no log filters at all are set, there's obviously no string
comparison to be done. If any single log filter is set though,
this imposes a compute burden on every logging call even if logs
from the file in question are disabled. This string comparison
must also be done while the logging mutex is held, which has
implications for concurrency when multiple threads are emitting
log messages.
This changes the log filtering to be done based on the virLogSource
object name. The virLogSource struct is extended to contain
'serial' and 'priority' fields. Any time the global log filter
rules are changed a global serial number is incremented. When a
log message is emitted, the serial in the virLogSource instance
is compared with the global serial number. If out of date, then
the 'priority' field in the virLogSource instance is updated based
on the new filter rules. The 'priority' field is checked to see
whether the log message should be sent to the log outputs.
The comparisons of the 'serial' and 'priority' fields are done
with no locks held. So in the common case each logging call has
an overhead of 2 integer comparisons, with no locks held. Only
if the decision is made to forward the message to the log output,
or if the 'serial' value is out of date do locks need to be
acquired.
Technically the comparisons of the 'serial' and 'priority' fields
should be done with locks held, or using atomic operations. Both
of these options have a notable performance impact, however, and
since all writes a protected by a global mutex, it is believed
that worst case behaviour where the fields are read concurrently
with being written would merely result in an mistaken emission
or dropping of the log message in question. This is an acceptable
tradeoff for the performance benefit of avoiding locking.
As a quick benchmark, a demo program that registers 500 file
descriptors with the event loop (eg equiv of 500 QEMU monitor
commands), creates pending read I/O on every FD, and then runs
virEventRunDefaultImpl() took 4.6 seconds to do 51200 iterations.
After this optimization it only takes 3.3 seconds, with the log
APIs no longer being a relevant factor in the running time.

The error reporting code will invoke a callback when any error
is raised and the default callback will print to stderr. The
virRaiseErrorFull method also sends all error messages on to the
logging code, which also prints to stderr by default. To avoid
duplicated data on stderr, the logging code has some logic to
skip emission when no log outputs are configured, which checks
whether the virLogSource == VIR_LOG_FROM_ERROR.
Meanwhile the libvirtd daemon can register another callback which
is used to reduce log message priority from error to a lower level.
When this is used we do want messages to end up on stderr, so the
error code will conditionally use either VIR_LOG_FROM_FILE or
VIR_LOG_FROM_ERROR depending on whether such a callback is provided.
This will all complicate later refactoring. By pushing the checks
for whether a log output is present up a level into the error code,
the special cases can be isolated in one place.

With the vast number of log debug statements in the code, the
logging framework has a measurable performance impact on libvirt
code, particularly in the daemon event loop.
The global log buffer records every single log message triggered
whether anyone cares to see them or not. This makes it impossible
to eliminate the overhead of printf format expansions in any of
the logging code. It is possible to disable the global log buffer
in libvirtd itself, but this doesn't help client side library
code. Also even if disabled by the config file, the existence of
the feature makes other performance improvements in the logging
layer impossible.
Instead of logging every single message to the global buffer, only
log messages that pass the log filters. This if libvirtd is set
to have log_filters="1:libvirt 1:qemu" the global log buffer will
only get filled with those messages instead of everything. This
reduces the performance burden, as well as improving the signal
to noise ratio of the log buffer.
As a quick benchmark, a demo program that registers 500 file
descriptors with the event loop (eg equiv of 500 QEMU monitor
commands), creates pending read I/O on every FD, and then runs
