If a storage file would be backed with a NBD device without path
(nbd://localhost) libvirt would crash when parsing the backing path for
the disk as the URI structure's path element is NULL in such case but
the NBD parser would access it shamelessly.
As we now have a common function to parse backing store string for RBD
backing store we can reuse it in the backing store walker so that we
don't fail on files backed by RBD storage.
This patch also adds a few tests to verify that the parsing works as
expected.
The code that parses the schema from the URI touches the "hosts[0]"
member of the storage file source structure in case the URI contains a
schema. The hosts array was not yet allocated at the point in the code
where the transport protocol was parsed and set. This lead to a crash of
libvirtd.
Fix the code by allocating the "hosts" array upfront and add a test case
to verify this scenario. (Unfortunately this requires shuffling the test
case numbers too).

Add a new parameter to virStorageFileGetMetadata that will break the
backing chain detection process and report useful error message rather
than having to use virStorageFileChainGetBroken.
This patch just introduces the option, usage will be provided
separately.
The parent directory doesn't necessarily need to be stored after we
don't mangle the path stored in the image. Remove it and tweak the code
to avoid using it.
Store backing chain paths as non-canonical. The canonicalization step
will be already taken. This will allow to avoid storing unnecessary
amounts of data.
libvirt always uses an absolute path to address the top image of an
image chain. Our storage test tests also the relative path which won't
ever be used. Additionally it makes the test more complicated.
Now that we store only relative names in virStorageSource's member
relPath the backingRelative member is obsolete. Remove it and adapt the
code to the removal.
Due to various refactors and compatibility with the virstoragetest the
relPath field of the virStorageSource structure was always filled either
with the relative name or the full path in case of absolutely backed
storage. Return its original purpose to store only the relative name of
the disk if it is backed relatively and tweak the tests.
Now that we changed ordering of the stored metadata so that the backing
store is described by the child element the test should reflect this
change too.
Remove the expected backing store field as it's actually described by
the next element in the backing chain, so there's no need for
duplication.
This patch introduces a function that will allow us to resolve a
relative difference between two elements of a disk backing chain. This
function will be used to allow relative block commit and block pull
where we need to specify the new relative name of the image to qemu.
This patch also adds unit tests for the function to verify that it works
correctly.
Introduce a common function that will take a callback to resolve links
that will be used to canonicalize paths on various storage systems and
add extensive tests.
The block commit code looks for an explicit base file relative
to the discovered top file; so for a chain of:
base <- snap1 <- snap2 <- snap3
and a command of:
virsh blockcommit $dom vda --base snap2 --top snap1
we got a sane message (here from libvirt 1.0.5):
error: invalid argument: could not find base 'snap2' below 'snap1' in chain for 'vda'
Meanwhile, recent refactoring has slightly reduced the quality of the
libvirt error messages, by losing the phrase 'below xyz':
error: invalid argument: could not find image 'snap2' in chain for 'snap3'
But we had a one-off, where we were not excluding the top file
itself in searching for the base; thankfully qemu still reports
the error, but the quality is worse:
virsh blockcommit $dom vda --base snap2 --top snap2
error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'block-commit': Base '/snap2' not found
Fix the one-off in blockcommit by changing the semantics of name
lookup - if a starting point is specified, then the result must
be below that point, rather than including that point. The only
other call to chain lookup was blockpull code, which was already
forcing the lookup to omit the active layer and only needs a
tweak to use the new semantics.
This also fixes the bug exposed in the testsuite, where when doing
a lookup pinned to an intermediate point in the chain, we were
unable to return the name of the parent also in the chain.

Add some more tests of what happens when we restrict a lookup
to begin at a point in the middle of a chain. In particular,
we want to ensure that a parent is not found when starting at
the child. This commit also demonstrates that we have a slight
difference in behavior on what parent we report when filtering
is in effect; as the determination of the parent affects the
code in block commit, exposing this in the testsuite will help
justify changes in future patches that tweak the semantics of
what lookups are allowed.

When the test is failing but the debug output isn't enabled the
resulting line would look ugly like and would not contain the actual
difference.
TEST: virstoragetest
.................chain member 1!chain member 1!chain member 1!
Store the member index in the actual checked string to hide this problem
All the fields crammed into two lines weren't easy to parse by human
eyes. Split up the format string into lines and put it into a central
variable so that changes in two places aren't necessary.
Use the new backing store parser in the backing chain crawler. This
change needs one test change where information about the NBD image are
now parsed differently.
Stat the path of the storage file being tested to set the correct type
into the virStorageSource. This will avoid breaking the test suite when
inquiring metadata of directory paths in the next patches.
My future work will modify the metadata crawler function to use the
storage driver file APIs to access the files instead of accessing them
directly so that we will be able to request the metadata for remote
files too. To avoid linking the storage driver to every helper file
using the utils code, the backing chain traversal function needs to be
moved to the storage driver source.
Additionally the virt-aa-helper and virstoragetest programs need to be
linked with the storage driver as a result of this change.
In "src/util/" there are many enumeration (enum) declarations.
Sometimes, it's better using a typedef for variable types,
function types and other usages. Other enumeration will be
changed to typedef's in the future.

Each backing store of a given disk is associated with a unique index
(which is also formatted in domain XML) for easier addressing of any
particular backing store. With this patch, any backing store can be
addressed by its disk target and the index. For example, "vdc[4]"
addresses the backing store with index equal to 4 of the disk identified
by "vdc" target. Such shorthand can be used in any API in place for a
backing file path:
virsh blockcommit domain vda --base vda[3] --top vda[2]

To avoid having the root of a backing chain present twice in the list we
need to invert the working of virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse.
Until now the recursive worker created a new backing chain element from
the name and other information passed as arguments. This required us to
pass the data of the parent in a deconstructed way and the worker
created a new entry for the parent.
This patch converts this function so that it just fills in metadata
about the parent and creates a backing chain element from those. This
removes the duplication of the first element.
To avoid breaking the test suite, virstoragetest now calls a wrapper
that creates the parent structure explicitly and pre-fills it with the
test data with same function signature as previously used.
Remove the obsolete field replaced by data in "path".
The testsuite requires tweaking as the name of the backing file is now
stored one layer deeper in the backing chain linked list.
As for the previous patch, this change is needed to achieve
compatibility with all the existing code, where we expect a fully
qualified path of local files to be present.
To allow future change of virStorageFileMetadata to virStorageSource we
need to store a full path in the "path" variable as rest of the code
expects it to be a full path. Rename the "path" field to "relPath" to
keep tracking the info but allowing a real "path" field.
Another field no longer needed, getting us one step closer to
merging virStorageFileMetadata and virStorageSource.

Thanks to the testsuite, I feel quite confident that this rewrite
is correct; it gives the same results for all cases except for one.
I can make the argument that _that_ case was a pre-existing bug:
when looking up relative names, the lookup is supposed to be
pegged to the directory that contains the parent qcow2 file. Thus,
this resolves the fixme first mentioned in commit 367cd69 (even
though I accidentally removed the fixme comment early in 74430fe).

So far, my work has been merely preserving the status quo of
backing file analysis. But this patch starts to tread in the

backing store, even if that information is still hardcoded to
a raw format for now.
