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.
Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into
a storage format that permits a backing chain, since the new
snapshot file necessarily must be backed by the existing file.
The C code for the qemu driver is a little bit stricter in
currently enforcing only qcow2 or qed, but at the XML parser
level, including virt-xml-validate, it is fairly easy to
enforce that a user can't request a 'raw' external snapshot.

The current use of virStorageFileMetadata is awkward; to learn
some of the information about a child node, you have to read
fields in the parent node. This does not lend itself well to
modifying backing chains (whether inserting a new node in the
chain, or consolidating existing nodes); better would be to
learn about a child node directly in that node. This patch
sets up some new fields which contain redundant information,
although not necessarily in the final desired state for the
new fields (see the next patch for actual tests of what is there
now). Then later patches will do any refactoring necessary to
get the fields to their desired states, and update clients to
get the information from the new fields, so we can finally
delete the fields that are tracking information about the wrong
node.
More concretely, compare these three example backing chains:
good <- one
missing <- two
gluster://server/vol/img <- three
Pre-patch, querying the chains gives:
{ .backingStore = "/path/to/good",
.backingStoreRaw = "good",
.backingStoreIsFile = true,
.backingStoreFormat = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW,
.backingMeta = {
.backingStore = NULL,
.backingStoreRaw = NULL,
.backingStoreIsFile = false,
.backingMeta = NULL,
}
}
{ .backingStore = NULL,
.backingStoreRaw = "missing",
.backingStoreIsFile = false,
.backingStoreFormat = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE,
.backingMeta = NULL,
}
{ .backingStore = "gluster://server/vol/img",
.backingStoreRaw = NULL,
.backingStoreIsFile = false,
.backingStoreFormat = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW,
.backingMeta = NULL,
}
Deciding whether to ignore a missing backing file (as in virsh
vol-dumpxml) or report an error (as in security manager sVirt
labeling) requires reading multiple fields. Plus, the format
is hard-coded to treat all network protocols as end-of-the-chain,
as if they were raw. By the end of this patch series, the goal
is to instead represent these three situations as:
{ .path = "one",
.canonPath = "/path/to/one",
.type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_FILE,
.format = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QCOW2,
.backingStoreRaw = "good",
.backingMeta = {
.path = "good",
.canonPath = "/path/to/good",
.type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_FILE,
.format = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW,
.backingStoreRaw = NULL,
.backingMeta = NULL,
}
}
{ .path = "two",
.canonPath = "/path/to/two",
.type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_FILE,
.format = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QCOW2,
.backingStoreRaw = "missing",
.backingMeta = NULL,
}
{ .path = "three",

.path = "gluster://server/vol/img",
.canonPath = "gluster://server/vol/img",
.type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_NETWORK,
.format = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW,
.backingStoreRaw = NULL,
.backingMeta = NULL,
}
}
or, for the second file, maybe also allowing:
{ .path = "two",
.canonPath = "/path/to/two",
.type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_FILE,
.format = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QCOW2,
.backingStoreRaw = "missing",
.backingMeta = {

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.
I noticed that the apparmor code could request metadata even
for a cdrom with no media, which would cause a memory leak of
the hash table used to look for loops in the backing chain.
But even before that, we blindly dereferenced the path for
printing a debug statement, so it is just better to enforce
that this is only used on non-NULL names.

One of the features of qcow2 is that a wrapper file can have
more capacity than its backing file from the guest's perspective;
what's more, sparse files make tracking allocation of both
the active and backing file worthwhile. As such, it makes

and not just the top-level file. This sets up the fields for
the tracking, although it does not modify XML to display any

This should resolve:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012085
libvirt previously recognized NFS, GFS2, OCFS2, and AFS filesystems as
"shared", and thus eligible for exceptions to certain rules/actions
about chowning image files before handing them off to a guest. This
patch widens the definition of "shared filesystem" to include SMB and
CIFS filesystems (aka "Windows file sharing"); both of these use the
same protocol, but different drivers so there are different magic
numbers for each.

It's not used anywhere except for the switch in

because of unhandled enum value.
Introduced by 6298f74.
Detect qcow2 images with version 3 in the image header as
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QCOW2.
These images have a feature bitfield, with just one feature supported
so far: lazy_refcounts.
The header length changed too, moving the location of the backing
format name.
The document for "vol-resize" says the new capacity will be sparse
unless "--allocate" is specified, however, the "--allocate" flag
is never implemented. This implements the "--allocate" flag for
fs backend's raw type volume, based on posix_fallocate and the
syscall SYS_fallocate.
POSIX says that both basename() and dirname() may return static
storage (aka they need not be thread-safe); and that they may but
not must modify their input argument. Furthermore, <libgen.h>
is not available on all platforms. For these reasons, you should
never use these functions in a multi-threaded library.
Gnulib instead recommends a way to avoid the portability nightmare:
gnulib's "dirname.h" provides useful thread-safe counterparts. The
obvious dir_name() and base_name() are GPL (because they malloc(),
but call exit() on failure) so we can't use them; but the LGPL
variants mdir_name() (malloc's or returns NULL) and last_component
(always points into the incoming string without modifying it,
differing from basename semantics only on corner cases like the
empty string that we shouldn't be hitting in the first place) are
already in use in libvirt. This finishes the swap over to the safe
functions.

If you have a qcow2 file /path1/to/file pointed to by symlink
/path2/symlink, and pass qemu /path2/symlink, then qemu treats
a relative backing file in the qcow2 metadata as being relative
to /path2, not /path1/to. Yes, this means that it is possible
to create a qcow2 file where the choice of WHICH directory and
symlink you access its contents from will then determine WHICH
backing file (if any) you actually find; the results can be
rather screwy, but we have to match what qemu does.
Libvirt and qemu default to creating absolute backing file
names, so most users don't hit this. But at least VDSM uses
symlinks and relative backing names alongside the
--reuse-external flags to libvirt snapshot operations, with the
result that libvirt was failing to follow the intended chain of
backing files, and then backing files were not granted the
necessary sVirt permissions to be opened by qemu.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903248 for
more gory details. This fixes a regression introduced in
commit 8250783.
I tested this patch by creating the following chain:
ls /home/eblake/Downloads/Fedora.iso # raw file for base
cd /var/lib/libvirt/images
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
-obacking_file=/home/eblake/Downloads/Fedora.iso,backing_fmt=raw one
mkdir sub
cd sub
ln -s ../one onelink
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
-obacking_file=../sub/onelink,backing_fmt=qcow2 two
mv two ..
ln -s ../two twolink
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
-obacking_file=../sub/twolink,backing_fmt=qcow2 three
mv three ..
ln -s ../three threelink
then pointing my domain at /var/lib/libvirt/images/sub/threelink.
Prior to this patch, I got complaints about missing backing
files; afterwards, I was able to verify that the backing chain
(and hence DAC and SELinux relabels) of the entire chain worked.
* src/util/virstoragefile.h (_virStorageFileMetadata): Add

(virFindBackingFile): ...better function.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataInternal): Add an argument.

(virStorageFileGetMetadata): Update callers.
QEMU is fully capable of handling VDI images and we just refuse to
work with them. As qemu-img knows and supports this, there should be
no problem with this addition.
This is of course, just basic functionality, without searching for any
backing files, etc.
