[libvirt] [PATCH v2 06/11] conf: Add VM Generation ID parse/format support

John Ferlan jferlan at redhat.com
Tue Apr 24 00:00:00 UTC 2018


The VM Generation ID is a mechanism to provide a unique 128-bit,
cryptographically random, and integer value identifier known as
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to the guest OS. The value
is used to help notify the guest operating system when the virtual
machine is executed with a different configuration.

This patch adds support for a new "genid" XML element similar to
the "uuid" element. The "genid" element can have two forms "<genid/>"
or "<genid>$GUID</genid>". If the $GUID is not provided, libvirt
will generate one.

For the ABI checks add avoidance for the genid comparison if the
appropriate flag is set.

Since adding support for a generated GUID (or UUID like) value to
be displayed only for an active guest, modifying the xml2xml test
to include virrandommock.so is necessary since it will generate a
"known" UUID value that can be compared against for the active test.

+        can handle changing the GUID value for specific state transitions.
+        Using a static GUID value may result in failures for starting from
