virDirCreate also previously returned 0 on success and errno on
failure. This makes it fit the recommended convention of returning 0
on success, -errno (ie a negative number) on failure.
Previously virStorageBackendCopyToFD would simply return -1 on
error. This made the error return from one of its callers inconsistent
(createRawFileOpHook is supposed to return -errno, but if
virStorageBackendCopyToFD failed, createRawFileOpHook would just
return -1). Since there is a useful errno in every case of error
return from virStorageBackendCopyToFD, and since the other uses of
that function ignore the return code (beyond simply checking to see if
it is < 0), this is a safe change.
virFileOperation previously returned 0 on success, or the value of
errno on failure. Although there are other functions in libvirt that
use this convention, the preferred (and more common) convention is to
return 0 on success and -errno (or simply -1 in some cases) on
failure. This way the check for failure is always (ret < 0).
* src/util/util.c - change virFileOperation and virFileOperationNoFork to
return -errno on failure.
* src/storage/storage_backend.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
- change the hook functions passed to virFileOperation to return
-errno on failure.
Originally the storage volume files were opened with O_DSYNC to make
sure they were flushed to disk immediately. It turned out that this
was extremely slow in some cases, so the O_DSYNC was removed in favor
of just calling fsync() after all the data had been written. However,
this call to fsync was inside the block that is executed to zero-fill
the end of the volume file. In cases where the new volume is copied
from an old volume, and they are the same length, this fsync would
never take place.
Now the fsync is *always* done, unless there is an error (in which
case it isn't important, and is most likely inappropriate.
A missing set of braces around an error condition caused us to skip
zero'ing out the remainder of a new volume file if the new volume was
longer than the original (the goto was supposed to be taken only in
the case of error, but was always being taken).
The storage volume lookup code was probing for the backing store
format, instead of using the format extracted from the file
itself. This meant it could report in accurate information. If
a format is included in the file, then use that in preference,
with probing as a fallback.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: Use extracted backing store
format
When creating qcow2 files with a backing store, it is important
to set an explicit format to prevent QEMU probing. The storage
backend was only doing this if it found a 'kvm-img' binary. This
is wrong because plenty of kvm-img binaries don't support an
explicit format, and plenty of 'qemu-img' binaries do support
a format. The result was that most qcow2 files were not getting
a backing store format.
This patch runs 'qemu-img -h' to check for the two support
argument formats
'-o backing_format=raw'
'-F raw'
and use whichever option it finds
* src/storage/storage_backend.c: Query binary to determine
how to set the backing store format
Require the disk image to be passed into virStorageFileGetMetadata.
If this is set to VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO, then the format will be
resolved using probing. This makes it easier to control when
probing will be used
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c,
src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/virt-aa-helper.c:

* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: Probe for disk format before
calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.

There are many naming conventions for partitions associated with a
block device. Some of the major ones are:
/dev/foo -> /dev/foo1
/dev/foo1 -> /dev/foo1p1
/dev/mapper/foo -> /dev/mapper/foop1
/dev/disk/by-path/foo -> /dev/disk/by-path/foo-part1
The universe of possible conventions isn't clear. Rather than trying
to understand all possible conventions, this patch divides devices
into two groups, device mapper devices and everything else. Device
mapper devices seem always to follow the convention of device ->
devicep1; everything else is canonicalized.
Daniel's patch works with gcc and CFLAGS containing -O (the
autoconf default), but fails with non-gcc or with other
CFLAGS (such as -g), since c-ctype.h declares c_isdigit as
a macro only for certain compilation settings.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_parthelper_LDFLAGS): Add gnulib
library, for when c_isdigit is not a macro.
* src/storage/parthelper.c (main): Avoid out-of-bounds
dereference, noticed by Jim Meyering.
Disks with a trailing digit in their path (eg /dev/loop0 or
/dev/dm0) have an extra 'p' appended before the partition
number (eg, to form /dev/loop0p1 not /dev/loop01). Fix the
partition lookup to append this extra 'p' when required
* src/storage/parthelper.c: Add a 'p' before partition
number if required
The storage pool driver is mistakenly using the error code
VIR_ERR_INVALID_STORAGE_POOL which is for diagnosing invalid
pointers. This patch switches it to use VIR_ERR_NO_STORAGE_POOL
which is the correct code for cases where the storage pool does
not exist
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Replace VIR_ERR_INVALID_STORAGE_POOL
with VIR_ERR_NO_STORAGE_POOL
The storage pool driver is not doing correct checking for
duplicate UUID/name values. This introduces a new method
virStoragePoolObjIsDuplicate, based on the previously
written virDomainObjIsDuplicate.

src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virStoragePoolObjIsDuplicate,
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Call virStoragePoolObjIsDuplicate

If a directory pool contains pipes or sockets, a pool start can fail or hang:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589577
We already try to avoid these special files, but only attempt after
opening the path, which is where the problems lie. Unify volume opening
into helper functions, which use the proper open() flags to avoid error,
followed by fstat to validate storage mode.
Previously, virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD attempted to enforce the
storage mode check, but allowed callers to detect this case and silently
continue. In practice, only the FS backend was using this feature, the rest
were treating unknown mode as an error condition. Unfortunately the InfoFD
function wasn't raising an error message here, so error reporting was
busted.
This patch adds 2 functions: virStorageBackendVolOpen, and
virStorageBackendVolOpenModeSkip. The latter retains the original opt out
semantics, the former now throws an explicit error.
This patch maintains the previous volume mode checks: allowing specific
modes for specific pool types requires a bit of surgery, since VolOpen
is called through several different helper functions.
v2: Use ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL. Drop stat check, just open with
O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY.
v3: Move mode check logic back to VolOpen. Use 2 VolOpen functions with
different error semantics.
v4: Make second VolOpen function more extensible. Didn't opt to change
FS backend defaults, this can just be to fix the original bug.
v5: Prefix default flags with VIR_, use ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
Spurious / in a pool target path makes life difficult for apps using the
GetVolByPath, and doing other path based comparisons with pools. This
has caused a few issues for virt-manager users:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494005https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593565
Add a new util API which removes spurious /, virFileSanitizePath. Sanitize
target paths when parsing pool XML, and for paths passed to GetVolByPath.
v2: Leading // must be preserved, properly sanitize path=/, sanitize
away /./ -> /
v3: Properly handle starting ./ and ending /.
v4: Drop all '.' handling, just sanitize / for now.
Volume detection in the scsi backend was duplicating code already
present in storage_backend.c. Let's drop the duplicate code.
Also, change the shared function name to be less generic, and remove
some error squashing in the other call site.
We were squashing error messages in a few cases. Recode to follow common
ret = -1 convention.
v2: Handle more error squashing issues further up in MakeNewVol and
CreateVols. Use ret = -1 convention in MakeVols.
virFileResolveLink was returning a positive value on error,
thus confusing callers that assumed failure was < 0. The
confusion is further evidenced by callers that would have
ended up calling virReportSystemError with a negative value
instead of a valid errno.

Clang was not smart enough, and mistakenly reported that "options"
could be used uninitialized. Initialize it.
This allows the config to have a setting that means "leave it alone",
eg when building a pool where the directory already exists the user
may want the current uid/gid of the directory left intact. This
actually gets us back to older behavior - before recent changes to the
pool building code, we weren't as insistent about honoring the uid/gid
settings in the XML, and virt-manager was taking advantage of this
behavior.
As a side benefit, removing calls to getuid/getgid from the XML
parsing functions also seems like a good idea. And having a default
that is different from a common/useful value (0 == root) is a good
thing in general, as it removes ambiguity from decisions (at least one
place in the code was checking for (perms.uid == 0) to see if a
special uid was requested).
Note that this will only affect newly created pools and volumes. Due
to the way that the XML is parsed, then formatted for newly created
volumes, all existing pools/volumes already have an explicit uid and
gid set.
src/conf/storage_conf.c: Remove calls to setuid/setgid for default values
of uid/gid, and set them to -1 instead
src/storage/storage_backend.c:
src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c:
Make account for the new default values of perms.uid
and perms.gid.
When trying to delete a pool the error message claimed the volume
could not be deleted.

volumes instead of pools
Various safezero() implementations used either -1, errno or -errno
return values. This patch fixes them all to return -1 and set errno
appropriately.
There was also a bug in size parameter passed to safewrite() which could
result in an attempt to write gigabytes out of a megabyte buffer.

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.

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)

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

call results in a double free of the label
