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.
Different protocols have different means to uniquely identify a storage
file. This patch implements a storage driver API to retrieve a unique
string describing a volume. The current implementation works for local
storage only and returns the canonical path of the volume.
To add caching support the local filesystem driver now has a private
structure holding the cached string, which is created only when it's
initially accessed.
This patch provides the implementation for local files only for start.
Add storage driver based functions to access headers of storage files
for metadata extraction. Along with this patch a local filesystem and
gluster via libgfapi implementation is provided. The gluster
implementation is based on code of the saferead_lim function.
To allow using the storage driver APIs to access files on various
storage sources in a universal fashion possibly on storage such as nfs
with root squash we'll need to store the desired uid/gid in the
metadata.
Add new initialisation API that will store the desired uid/gid and a
wrapper for the current use. Additionally add docs for the two APIs.
Now that we store all metadata about a storage image in a
virStorageSource struct let's use it also to store information needed by
the storage driver to access and do operations on the files.
Add APIs that will allow to use the storage driver to assist in
operations on files even for remote filesystems without native
representation as files in the host.
