This will allow starting processes and calling RPC services in those
events. This if required for usb devices, which are attached using RPC
services.
Intentionally keep device listing events synchronous only - to
discourage putting long-running actions there.
This change also require some not-async attach method version for
loading devices from qubes.xml - have `load_persistent` for this.
* qubesos/pr/111:
vm: drop 'internal' property
qmemman: make sure to release lock
qmemman: fix meminfo parsing for python 3
devices: drop 'data' and 'frontend_domain' fields, rename 'devclass' to 'bus'
Drop DeviceInfo.data - device extension should provide a subclass with
proper individual fields.
Drop DeviceAssignment.frontend_domain - this information is redundant -
frontend domain is defined by where DeviceAssignment is attached.
Rename DeviceCollection.devclass to bus - devclass if confusing here,
because this term is also used for DeviceInfo subclass.
Make it easy to retrieve DeviceInfo object out of DeviceAssignment
object. The only missing piece of information for that is device class,
so add it. Make it optional, as it can be filled on demand when passing
the object through DeviceCollection (either by listing devices, or
attaching/detaching).
This is mostly to ease handling options in libvirt template - to get
them, you need to use `assignments()`, istead of `persistent()` or
`attached()`, but there were no _simple_ way of getting actual device
object.
This also makes DeviceCollection._device method not needed anymore.
When device extension do not return some "persistent" device as
currently attached, still return it, as it will be attached at next
domain startup. User can distinguish such devices by having
frontend_domain=None (or other VM).
Also, return a set from DeviceCollection.assignments().
Device ident may contain only characters allowed in qrexec argument.
This will allow using it directly in qrexec argument in Attach/Detach
methods.
This also means PCI extension will need to be updated (it uses ':' in
ident).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
Implement required event handlers according to documentation in
qubes.devices.
A modification of qubes.devices.DeviceInfo is needed to allow dynamic,
read-only properties.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
Allow device plugin to list attached and available devices. Enforce
at API level every device being exposed by some domain.
This commit only changes devices API, but not update existing users
(pci) yet.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
This commit eliminates import statements happening in the middle of the
file (between two classes definition). The cycles are still there. The
only magic module is qubes itself.
