Create the filesystem on the partition used by the pool

fs type when creating a filesystem pool
Recently we introduced O_DSYNC flag when creating raw storage files to
avoid filling all disk cache with dirty pages. However, the patch got
lost when virStorageBackendCreateRaw was reworked using
virFileOperation. Let's use O_DSYNC again.
There were a few operations on the storage volume file that were still
being done as root, which will fail if the file is on a root-squashed
NFS share. The result was that attempts to create a storage volume of
type "raw" on a root-squashed NFS share would fail.
This patch uses the newly introduced "hook" function in
virFileOperation to execute all those file operations in the child
process that's run under the uid that owns the file (and, presumably,
has permission to write to the NFS share)
* src/storage/storage_backend.c: use virFileOperation() in
virStorageBackendCreateRaw, turning virStorageBackendCreateRaw()
into a new createRawFileOpHook() hook
It turns out it is also useful to be able to perform other operations
on a file created while running as a different uid (eg, write things
to that file), and possibly to do this to a file that already
exists. This patch adds an optional hook function to the renamed (for
more accuracy of purpose) virFileOperation; the hook will be called
after the file has been opened (possibly created) and gid/mode
checked/set, before closing it.
As with the other operations on the file, if the VIR_FILE_OP_AS_UID
flag is set, this hook function will be called in the context of a
child process forked from the process that called virFileOperation.
The implication here is that, while all data in memory is available to
this hook function, any modification to that data will not be seen by
the caller - the only indication in memory of what happened in the
hook will be the return value (which the hook should set to 0 on
success, or one of the standard errno values on failure).
Another piece of making the function more flexible was to add an
"openflags" argument. This arg should contain exactly the flags to be
passed to open(2), eg O_RDWR | O_EXCL, etc.
In the process of adding the hook to virFileOperation, I also realized
that the bits to fix up file owner/group/mode settings after creation
were being done in the parent process, which could fail, so I moved
them to the child process where they should be.
* src/util/util.[ch]: rename and rework virFileCreate-->virFileOperation,
and redo flags in virDirCreate
* storage/storage_backend.c, storage/storage_backend_fs.c: update the
calls to virFileOperation/virDirCreate to reflect changes in the API,
but don't yet take advantage of the hook.
* src/storage/storage_backend_mpath.c (virStorageBackendIsMultipath):
The result of dm_get_next_target was never used (and isn't needed),
so don't store it.
The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
from all APIs in secret_conf.{h,c} and update all callers to
match

When creating preallocated large raw files opening them with O_DSYNC
prevents long delays in reading because cache pages can be immediately
reused without writing them on a disk first.
Allows the initiator to use a variety of IQNs rather than just the
system IQN when creating iSCSI pools.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: extends the syntax with <iqn name="..."/>
* src/conf/storage_conf.[ch]: read and stores the iqn name
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.[ch]: implement the IQN selection
when detected
Previously the uid/gid/mode in the xml was ignored when creating new
storage pool directories. This commit attempts to honor the requested
permissions, and spits out an error if it can't.
Note that when creating the directory, the rest of the path leading up
to the final element is created using current uid/gid/mode, and the
final element gets the settings from xml. It is NOT an error for the
directory to already exist; in this case, the perms for the existing
directory are just set (if necessary).
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: update the virStorageBackendFileSystemBuild
function to check the directory hierarchy separately then create the
leaf directory with the right attributes
In order to avoid problems trying to chown files that were created by
root on a root-squashing nfs server, fork a new process that setuid's
to the desired uid before creating the file. (It's only done this way
if the pool containing the new volume is of type 'netfs', otherwise
the old method of creating the file followed by chown() is used.)
This changes the semantics of the "create_func" slightly - previously
it was assumed that this function just created the file, then the
caller would chown it to the desired uid. Now, create_func does both
operations.
There are multiple functions that can take on the role of create_func:
createFileDir - previously called mkdir(), now calls virDirCreate().
virStorageBackendCreateRaw - previously called open(),
now calls virFileCreate().
virStorageBackendCreateQemuImg - use virRunWithHook() to setuid/gid.
virStorageBackendCreateQcowCreate - same.
virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom - preserve old behavior (but attempt
chown when necessary even if not root)

src/storage/storage_driver.c: change the create_func implementations,
also propagate the pool information to be able to detect NETFS ones.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c (virStorageBackendFileSystemRefresh):
Correct parentheses. The documented intent is to ignore non-regular
files, yet due to a parenthesization error all errors were handled
that way.
This patch removes the call to vol update after the volume build completes.
The update call is currently meaningless anyway because the vol build is passed
a copy of the definition, so the update result is thrown away. More
importantly, if the user specified a selinux label for the volume, the update
call results in a double free of the label
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: remove the update call
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix IsPersistent() and IsActivE()
methods on storage pools to use 'storagePrivateData' instead
of 'privateData'. Also fix naming convention of objects
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: virStorageBackendFileSystemDelete
was incorrectly calling unlink() in an attempt to remove a directory.
It should be calling rmdir() instead.
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.

The LXC driver was mistakenly returning -1 for lxcStartup()
in scenarios that are not an error. This caused the libvirtd
to quit for unprivileged users. This fixes the return code
of LXC driver, and also adds a "name" field to the virStateDriver
struct and logging to make it easier to find these problems
in the future
* src/driver.h: Add a 'name' field to state driver to allow
easy identification during failures
* src/libvirt.c: Log name of failed driver for virStateInit
failures
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Don't return a failure code for
lxcStartup() if LXC is not available on this host, simply
disable the driver.

Nearly all of the methods in src/util/util.h have error codes that
must be checked by the caller to correct detect & report failure.
Add ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK to ensure compile time validation of
this
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Add explicit check on return value of virAsprintf
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr return
value status & report error
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Add missing OOM check on virAsprintf
and report error
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr return
value status & report error
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Remove call to virRandomInitialize
that's done in libvirt.c already
* src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c: Add check & log on virRun
return status
* src/util/util.c: Add missing checks on virAsprintf/Run status
* src/util/util.h: Annotate all methods with ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
if they return an error status code
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr
* src/xen/xm_internal.c: Add missing checks on virAsprintf
* tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c: Remove bogus call to virRandomInitialize()
Finally, we get to the point of all this.
Move virStorageGetMetadataFromFD() to virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD()
and move to src/util/storage_file.[ch]
There's no functional changes in this patch, just code movement
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: move code from here ...
* src/util/storage_file.[ch]: ... to here
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD()
Introduce a metadata structure and make virStorageGetMetadataFromFD()
fill it in.
* src/util/storage_file.h: add virStorageFileMetadata
* src/backend/storage_backend_fs.c: virStorageGetMetadataFromFD() now
fills in the virStorageFileMetadata structure
Prepare the code probing a file's format and associated metadata for
moving into libvirt_util.

probing code in preparation for moving it
Rename virStorageVolFormatFileSystem to virStorageFileFormat and
move to src/util/storage_file.[ch]
