Both xm and xl config have long supported specifying vif rate
limiting, e.g.
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:74:3d:76,bridge=br0,rate=10MB/s' ]
Add support for mapping rate to and from <bandwidth> in the xenconfig
parser and formatter. rate is mapped to the required 'average' attribute
of the <outbound> element, e.g.
<interface type='bridge'>
...
<bandwidth>
<outbound average='10240'/>
</bandwidth>
</interface>
Also add a unit test to check the conversion logic.

I used a bit of code from libxlu_vif.c to implement xenParseVifRate()
instead of using the libxlutil lib directly, since in theory rate limiting
applies to the old xen driver (no libxl) as well.

The libxl_device_nic structure supports specifying an outgoing rate
limit based on a time interval and bytes allowed per interval. In xl
config a rate limit is specified as "<RATE>/s@<INTERVAL>". INTERVAL
is optional and defaults to 50ms.
libvirt expresses outgoing limits by average (required), peak, burst,
and floor attributes in units of KB/s. This patch supports the outgoing
bandwidth limit by converting the average KB/s to bytes per interval
based on the same default interval (50ms) used by xl.

Interesting. I'd expect:
x_nic->rate_bytes_per_interval = bytes_per_sec;
x_nic->rate_interval_usecs = 1000*1000;
I mean, if I understood the xl way of rate limiting correctly, one says
how much bytes can be sent for how long. so for 1MB/s I'd expect to send
1024*1024 bytes each second.
Or am I missing something?

For the most part I mimicked the Xen code and wanted to stick with the default
interval of 50ms, which has been the default for a long time. It is even
mentioned in some old RHEL5 docs
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-Tips_and_tricks-Limit_network_bandwidth_for_a_Xen_guest.html
BTW, here is the Xen code that inspired this logic
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=tools/libxl/libxlu_vif.c;h=0665e624dc178a6ca8058e04a7baacaf1475bd37;hb=HEAD#l131
rate_bytes_per_interval is set to (bytes/s * interval us)/1000000us
I guess we are saying the same thing, you're just setting interval to 1s (thus
rate_bytes_per_interval == bytes_per_sec) instead of the historical 50ms :-).

Does the above explanation make sense? I might be missing something :-). CC'd a
few Xen tools maintainer just in case.

Hi Michal,
Thanks a lot for taking a look at this series! Note that I posted a V2 earlier
this week which includes support for parsing/formatting vif bandwidth in sexpr
config too
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-January/msg00045.html
Unfortunately it results in some changes to this patch, so I think it would be
best to peek at the V2 series before pushing it.
Regards,
Jim

Yep, it makes sense now. So let me review v2.
