A recent lvm change has resulted in a change for the "default" type of
logical volume created when the "--virtualsize" or "--V" is supplied on
the command line (e.g. when the allocation and capacity values of a to
be created volume differ). It seems that at the very least the following
change adjusts the default type:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/commit/?id=e0164f21
and the following may also have some impact.
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/commit/?id=87fc3b71
When using the virsh vol-create-as or vol-create xmlfile commands, the
result is that libvirt will now create a "thin logical volume" and a
"thin logical volume pool" rather than just a "thin snapshot logical
volume". For example the following sequence:
# lvcreate --name test -L 2M -V 5M lvm_test
Rounding up size to full physical extent 4.00 MiB
Rounding up size to full physical extent 8.00 MiB
Logical volume "test" created.
# lvs lvm_test
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol1 lvm_test twi-a-tz-- 4.00m 0.00 0.98
test lvm_test Vwi-a-tz-- 8.00m lvol1 0.00
compared to the former code which had the following:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
test LVM_Test swi-a-s--- 4.00m [test_vorigin] 0.00
Since libvirt doesn't know how to parse the thin logical volume
and pool, it will fail to find the newly created volume and pool
even though it exists in the volume group.
It cannot find since the command used to find/parse returns a thin volume
'test' with no associated device, for example the output is:
lvol1##UgUwkp-fTFP-C0rc-ufue-xrYh-dkPr-FGPFPx#lvol1_tdata(0)#thin-pool#1#4194304#4194304#4194304#twi-a-tz--
test##NcaIoH-4YWJ-QKu3-sJc3-EOcS-goff-cThLIL##thin#0#8388608#4194304#8388608#Vwi-a-tz--
as compared to the former which had the following:
test#[test_vorigin]#Dt5Of3-4WE6-buvw-CWJ4-XOiz-ywOU-YULYw6#/dev/sda3(1300)#linear#1#4194304#4194304#4194304#swi-a-s---
While it's possible to generate code to handle the new thin lv and pool, this
patch will add a "--type snapshot" onto the lvcreate command libvirt uses
in order to "for now" be able to continue to utilize the thin snapshots
Currently virStorageFileResize() function uses build conditionals to
choose either the posix_fallocate() or syscall(SYS_fallocate) with no
fallback in order to preallocate the space in the newly resized file.
Since the safezero code has a similar set of conditionals modify the
resize and safezero code in order to allow the resize logic to make use
of safezero to unify the look/feel of the code paths.
Add a new boolean (resize) to safezero() to make the optional decision
whether to try syscall(SYS_fallocate) if the posix_fallocate fails because
HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE is not defined (eg, return -1 and errno == 0).
Create a local safezero_sys_fallocate in order to handle the resize
code paths that support that. If not present, the set errno = ENOSYS
in order to allow the caller to handle the failure scenarios.

The virStoragePoolSourceFindDuplicate only checks the incoming definition
against the same type of pool as the def; however, for "scsi_host" and
"fc_host" adapter pools, it's possible that either some pool "scsi_host"
adapter definition is already using the scsi_hostN that the "fc_host"
adapter definition wants to use or some "fc_host" pool adapter definition
is using a vHBA scsi_hostN or parent scsi_hostN that an incoming "scsi_host"
definition is trying to use.
This patch adds the mismatched type checks and adds extraneous comments
to describe what each check is determining.
This patch also modifies the documentation to be describe what scsi_hostN
devices a "scsi_host" source adapter should use and which to avoid. It also
updates the parent definition to specifically call out that for mixed
environments it's better to define which parent to use so that the duplicate
pool checks can be done properly.

When libvirt create's the vport (VPORT_CREATE) for the vHBA, there isn't
enough "time" between the creation and the running of the following
backend->refreshPool after a backend->startPool in order to find the LU's.
Population of LU's happens asynchronously when udevEventHandleCallback
discovers the "new" vHBA port. Creation of the infrastructure by udev
is an iterative process creating and discovering actual storage devices and
adjusting the environment.
Because of the time it takes to discover and set things up, the backend
refreshPool call done after the startPool call will generally fail to
find any devices. This leaves the newly started pool appear empty when
querying via 'vol-list' after startup. The "workaround" has always been
to run pool-refresh after startup (or any time thereafter) in order to
find the LU's. Depending on how quickly run after startup, this too may
not find any LUs in the pool. Eventually though given enough time and
retries it will find something if LU's exist for the vHBA.
This patch adds a thread to be executed after the VPORT_CREATE which will
attempt to find the LU's without requiring the external run of refresh-pool.
It does this by waiting for 5 seconds and searching for the LU's. If any
are found, then the thread completes; otherwise, it will retry once more
in another 5 seconds. If none are found in that second pass, the thread
gives up.
Things learned while investigating this... No need to try and fill the
pool too quickly or too many times. Over the course of creation, the udev
code may 'add', 'change', and 'delete' the same device. So if the refresh
code runs and finds something, it may display it only to have a subsequent
refresh appear to "lose" the device. The udev processing doesn't seem to
have a way to indicate that it's all done with the creation processing of a
newly found vHBA. Only the Lone Ranger has silver bullets to fix everything.
Fix a problem in the getBlockDevice and processLU where retval initialized
to zero causing some failures to erroneously continue through to the
virStorageBackendSCSINewLun with an attempt to find a path for "/dev/(null)".
This would fail approximately 10 seconds later with debug message:
virStorageBackendSCSINewLun:203 :
No stable path found for '/dev/(null)' in '/dev/disk/by-path'
The root cause of the issue is for many /sys/bus/scsi/devices/<lun path>
there is no "block*" device found for the vHBA's, where "<lun path>" are
the various paths created for the vHBA, such as "17:0:0:0", "17:0:1:0",
"17:0:2:0", "17:0:3:0", etc. If the block device isn't found, then the
directory should just be ignored rather than attempting to process it.
The bug was that in getBlockDevice the assumption was "block" would exist
and either getNewStyleBlockDevice or getOldStyleBlockDevice would fill in
@block_device. However, if 'block*' doesn't exist, then the code returned
NULL for block_device *and* a good (zero) retval value. This caused the
processLU code to attempt the virStorageBackendSCSINewLun which failed
"at some point in time" in the future.
After this change - on test system the refresh-pool didn't have a noticable
pause of about 20 seconds - it completed within a second since no longer
was there an attempt/need to find "/dev/(null)".
Additionally, the virStorageBackendSCSIFindLU's shouldn't be declaring
found unless the processLU actually returns success. This will be
important in the followup patch which relies on whether a LU was found.

Introduce a 'managed' attribute to allow libvirt to decide whether to
delete a vHBA vport created via external means such as nodedev-create.
The code currently decides whether to delete the vHBA based solely on
whether the parent was provided at creation time. However, that may not
be the desired action, so rather than delete and force someone to create
another vHBA via an additional nodedev-create allow the configuration of
the storage pool to decide the desired action.
During createVport when libvirt does the VPORT_CREATE, set the managed
value to YES if not already set to indicate to the deleteVport code that
it should delete the vHBA when the pool is destroyed.
If libvirtd is restarted all the memory only state was lost, so for a
persistent storage pool, use the virStoragePoolSaveConfig in order to
write out the managed value.
Because we're now saving the current configuration, we need to be sure
to not save the parent in the output XML if it was undefined at start.
Saving the name would cause future starts to always use the same parent
which is not the expected result when not providing a parent. By not
providing a parent, libvirt is expected to find the best available
vHBA port for each subsequent (re)start.
At deleteVport, use the new managed value to decide whether to execute
the VPORT_DELETE. Since we no longer save the parent in memory or in
XML when provided, if it was not provided, then we have to look it up.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160926
Passing a copy of the storage pool adapter to a function just changes the
copy of the fields in the particular function and then when returning to
the caller those changes are discarded. While not yet biting us in the
storage clean-up case, it did cause an issue for the fchost storage pool
startup case, createVport. The issue was at startup, if no parent is found
in the XML, the code will search for the 'best available' parent and then
store that in the in memory copy of the adapter. Of course, in this case
it was a copy, so when returning to the virStorageBackendSCSIStartPool that
change was discarded (or lost) from the pool->def->source.adapter which
meant at shutdown (deleteVport), the code assumed no adapter was passed
and skipped the deletion, leaving the vHBA created by libvirt still defined
requiring an additional stop of a nodedev-destroy to remove.
Adjusted the createVport to take virStoragePoolDefPtr instead of the
adapter copy. Then use the virStoragePoolSourceAdapterPtr when processing.
A future patch will need the 'def' anyway, so this just sets up for that.

The existing code assumed that the configuration of a 'parent' attribute
was correct for the createVport path. As it turns out, that may not be
the case which leads errors during the deleteVport path because the
wwnn/wwpn isn't associated with the parent.
With this change the following is reported:
error: Failed to start pool fc_pool_host3
error: XML error: Parent attribute 'scsi_host4' does not match parent 'scsi_host3' determined for the 'scsi_host16' wwnn/wwpn lookup.

If a 'parent' attribute is provided for the fchost, then at startup
time check to ensure it is a vport capable scsi_host. If the parent
is not vport capable, then disallow the startup. The following is the
expected results:
error: Failed to start pool fc_pool
error: XML error: parent 'scsi_host2' specified for vHBA is not vport capable
where the XML for the fc_pool is:
<pool type='scsi'>

<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host2' wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
</source>
...
and 'scsi_host2' is not vport capable.
Providing an incorrect parent and a correct wwnn/wwpn could lead to
failures at shutdown (deleteVport) where the assumption is the parent
is for the fchost.
NOTE: If the provided wwnn/wwpn doesn't resolve to an existing scsi_host,
then we will be creating one with code (virManageVport) which
assumes the parent is vport capable.

Currently, after calling commands to create a new volumes,
virStorageBackendZFSCreateVol calls virStorageBackendZFSFindVols that
calls virStorageBackendZFSParseVol.
virStorageBackendZFSParseVol checks if a volume already exists by
trying to get it using virStorageVolDefFindByName.
For a just created volume it returns NULL, so volume is reported as
new and appended to pool->volumes. This causes a volume to be listed
twice as storageVolCreateXML appends this new volume to the list as
well.
Fix that by passing a new volume definition to
virStorageBackendZFSParseVol so it could determine if it needs to add
this volume to the list.
There were two occurrances of attempting to initialize actualType by
calling virStorageSourceGetActualType(src) prior to a check if (!src)
resulting in Coverity complaining about the possible NULL dereference
in virStorageSourceGetActualType() of src.
Resolve by moving the actualType setting until after checking !src

use virFDStreamOpenFile function to work with the volume fd.
virFDStreamOpenFile calls virFDStreamOpenFileInternal that implements
handling of the non-blocking I/O. If a file is not a character device and
not a fifo, it uses libvirt_iohelper.
On FreeBSD, it doesn't work as expected because disk devices (including
ZFS volumes) are exposed as character devices, and ZFS volumes do not
support open(2) with O_NONBLOCK.
To overcome this, introduce a forceIOHelper flag to
virFDStreamOpenFileInternal that forces using libvirt_iohelper. And
introduce virFDStreamOpenBlockDevice that calls
virFDStreamOpenFileInternal with the forceIOHelper set to true.
On some places in the libvirt code we have:
f(a,z)
instead of
f(a, z)

Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.
Features supported:
- pool-start, pool-stop
- pool-info
- vol-list
- vol-create / vol-delete
Pool definition looks like that:
<pool type='zfs'>
<name>myzfspool</name>
<source>
<name>actualpoolname</name>
</source>
</pool>
The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.
User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.
A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
</disk>

Upon successful upload of a volume, the target volume and storage pool
were not updated to reflect any changes as a result of the upload. Make
use of the existing stream close callback mechanism to force a backend
pool refresh to occur in a separate thread once the stream closes. The
separate thread should avoid potential deadlocks if the refresh needed
to wait on some event from the event loop which is used to perform
the stream callback.
Use correct mode when pre-creating files (for snapshots). The refactor
changing to storage driver usage caused a regression as some systems
created the file with 000 permissions forbidding qemu to write the file.
Pass mode to the creating functions to avoid the problem.
Regression since 185e07a5f8.
With my intended use of storage driver assist to chown files on remote
storage we will need a witness that will tell us whether the given
storage volume supports operations needed by the storage driver.
Gluster storage works on a similar principle to NFS where it takes the
uid and gid of the actual process and uses it to access the storage
volume on the remote server. This introduces a need to chown storage
files on gluster via native API.
virStorageBackendLogicalCreateVol contains a piece like:
if (vol->target.path != NULL) {
/* A target path passed to CreateVol has no meaning */
VIR_FREE(vol->target.path);
}
The 'if' is useless here, but 'syntax-check' doesn't catch that
because of the comment, so drop the 'if'.
If a parentaddr was provided in the XML, have getAdapterName lookup
the stable address. This allows virStorageBackendSCSICheckPool() and
