[libvirt] [PATCH 00/17] nwfilter adjustments for common object

[John Ferlan]

As noted in the recently posted virObject changes:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-June/msg00070.html

I believe I've found a way to handle the recursive lock situation that
made it "difficult" (at best) to convert the nwfilter to the common
object model. It does involve a bit of a circuitous route to "temporarily
implement" the refcnt in nwfilter, but that gets removed rather quickly.

Beyond that there's a bit of setup, the first few patches deal with
issues seen while working through this code and then more setup for
getting things to be more common with other drivers (so when they
disappear a bit further into the future) into some new object it'll
be obvious where/why they're there.

The middle few patches deal with an insane naming scheme for a single
function that seemed to keep prefixing "_" as a new function was created.
So it's a bit of name change, but makes it easier to think about.

The last 4 patches deal with the conversion to use a @ref, a change
to a list locking hash table model, the modificiation of the recursive
instantiation to use @refs rather than @locks, and finally the change
to use the existing lockable object.

I have run these through the various avacodo nwfilter tests that I could
find, but perhaps if someone that had a more "robust configuration" and
wants to be a bit adventurous and also give the patches a whirl - that
would be appreciated.
