9674f2c637 selinux: Use raw contexts
We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux
contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated
contexts throughout the code.  This patch swaps all SELinux context
translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing
problems.

The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example.  The
difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install
mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you
something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas
fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow'
that we cannot parse.

I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of
time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in
the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008.

Thanks Laurent Bigonville for finding this out.

3af8280baf storage: Report UUID/name consistently in driver errors
Done with:

sed -i -e "s/no pool with matching uuid/no storage pool with matching uuid/g" src/storage/storage_driver.c
sed -i -e 's/"%s", _("no storage pool with matching uuid")/_("no storage pool with matching uuid %s"), obj->uuid/g' src/storage/storage_driver.c
sed -i -e 's/"%s", _("storage pool is not active")/_("storage pool '%s' is not active"), pool->def->name/g' src/storage/storage_driver.c

And a couple fixups before, during, and after, and a manual inspection
pass to make sure nothing was wonky.

This converts the following public API datatypes to use the
virObject infrastructure:

  virDomainPtr
  virDomainSnapshotPtr
  virInterfacePtr
  virNetworkPtr
  virNodeDevicePtr
  virNWFilterPtr
  virSecretPtr
  virStreamPtr
  virStorageVolPtr
  virStoragePoolPtr

The code is significantly simplified, since the mutex in the
virConnectPtr object now only needs to be held when accessing
the per-connection virError object instance. All other operations
are completely lock free.

768007aedc maint: don't permit format strings without %
Any time we have a string with no % passed through gettext, a
translator can inject a % to cause a stack overread.  When there
is nothing to format, it's easier to ask for a string that cannot
be used as a formatter, by using a trivial "%s" format instead.

In the past, we have used --disable-nls to catch some of the
offenders, but that doesn't get run very often, and many more
uses have crept in.  Syntax check to the rescue!

The syntax check can catch uses such as
virReportError(code,
               _("split "
                 "string"));
by using a sed script to fold context lines into one pattern
space before checking for a string without %.

off giving the user more information than a fixed string.

29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.

A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.

A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.

In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

  <disk type='network'>
    ...
    <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
      <host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
    </source>
  </disk>

To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.

1ffc78b54b Support creation of sparse LVM volumes
When calling 'lvcreate' if specifying both the '-L' and
'--virtualsize' options, the latter will be treated as
the capacity and the former as the allocation. This can
be used to support sparse volume creation. In addition,
when listing volumes it is necessary to include the 'size'
field in lvs output, so that we can detect sparse volume
allocation correctly.

e4cfe5f699 storage: Set the perms if the pool target already exists for fs pools
The comment says:

/* Now create the final dir in the path with the uid/gid/mode

 * the perms.
 */

However, virDirCreate is only invoked if the target path doesn't
exist yet (which is opposite with the comment), or the uid from
the config is not -1 (I don't understand why, think it's just
another mistake). And the result is the perms of the pool won't
be changed if one tries to build the pool with different perms
again.

Besides these logic error fix, if no uid and gid are specified in
the config, the practical used uid, gid are reflected.

74951eadef storage backend: Add RBD (RADOS Block Device) support
This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.

RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.

It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.

To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.

The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.

For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

0ed86cfb51 storage: Don't unsparsify images when cloning
Input to the volume cloning code is a source volume and an XML
descriptor for the new volume. It is possible for the new volume
to have a greater size than source volume, at which point libvirt
will just stick 0s on the end of the new image (for raw format
anyways).

Unfortunately a logic error messed up our tracking of the of the
excess amount that needed to be written: end result is that sparse
clones were made very much non-sparse, and cloning regular disk
images could end up excessively sized (though data unaltered).

Drop the 'remain' variable entriely here since it's redundant, and
track actual allocation directly against the desired 'total'.

virFileOpenAs previously would only try opening a file as the current
user, or as a different user, but wouldn't try both methods in a
single call. This made it cumbersome to use as a replacement for
open(2). Additionally, it had a lot of historical baggage that led to
it being difficult to understand.

This patch refactors virFileOpenAs in the following ways:

* reorganize the code so that everything dealing with both the parent
  and child sides of the "fork+setuid+setgid+open" method are in a
  separate function. This makes the public function easier to understand.

* Allow a single call to virFileOpenAs() to first attempt the open as
  the current user, and if that fails to automatically re-try after
  doing fork+setuid (if deemed appropriate, i.e. errno indicates it
  would now be successful, and the file is on a networkFS). This makes
  it possible (in many, but possibly not all, cases) to drop-in
  virFileOpenAs() as a replacement for open(2).

  (NB: currently qemuOpenFile() calls virFileOpenAs() twice, once
  without forking, then again with forking. That unfortunately can't
  be changed without at least some discussion of the ramifications,
  because the requested file permissions are different in each case,
  which is something that a single call to virFileOpenAs() can't deal
  with.)

* Add a flag so that any fchown() of the file to a different uid:gid
  is explicitly requested when the function is called, rather than it
  being implied by the presence of the O_CREAT flag. This just makes
  for less subtle surprises to consumers. (Commit
  b1643dc15c added the check for O_CREAT
  before forcing ownership. This patch just makes that restriction
  more explicit.)

* If either the uid or gid is specified as "-1", virFileOpenAs will
  interpret this to mean "the current [gu]id".

All current consumers of virFileOpenAs should retain their present
behavior (after a few minor changes to their setup code and
arguments).

e95ef67b35 Introduce new API for generating random numbers
The old virRandom() API was not generating good random numbers.
Replace it with a new API virRandomBits which instead of being
told the upper limit, gets told the number of bits of randomness
required.

* src/util/virrandom.c, src/util/virrandom.h: Add virRandomBits,
  and move virRandomInitialize
* src/util/util.h, src/util/util.c: Delete virRandom and
  virRandomInitialize
* src/libvirt.c, src/security/security_selinux.c,
  src/test/test_driver.c, src/util/iohelper.c: Update for
  changes from virRandom to virRandomBits
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.c: Remove bogus call
  to virRandomInitialize & convert to virRandomBits

adb99a05b1 storage: Support different wiping algorithms
Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.

275155f664 storage: Fix any VolLookupByPath if we have an empty logical pool
On F16 at least, empty volume groups don't have a directory under /dev.
The directory only appears once a logical volume is created.

This tickles some behavior in BackendStablePath which ends with
libvirt sleeping for 5 seconds while waiting for the directory to appear.
This causes all sorts of problems for the virStorageVolLookupByPath API
which virtinst uses, even if trying to resolve a path that is independent
of the logical pool.

In reality we don't even need to do that checking since logical pools
always have a stable target path. Short circuit the polling in that
case.

380f326955 storage: Fix a potential crash when creating vol object
If the vol object is newly created, it increases the volumes count,
but doesn't decrease the volumes count when do cleanup. It can
cause libvirtd to crash when one trying to free the volume objects
like:
    for (i = 0; i < pool->volumes.count; i++)
        virStorageVolDefFree(pool->volumes.objs[i]);

It's more reliable if we add the newly created vol object in the
end.

95ab415417 storage: Activate/deactivate logical volumes only on local node
Current "-ay | -an" has problems on pool starting/refreshing if
the volumes are clustered. Rommer has posted a patch to list 2
months ago.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01116.html

But IMO we shouldn't skip the inactived vols. So this is a squashed
patch by Rommer.
