I created a storage volume(eg: test) from a storage pool(eg:vg10) using
the following command:"virsh vol-create-as --pool vg10 --name test --capacity 300M."
When I re-executed the above command, the output was as the following:
"error: Failed to create vol test
error: Storage volume not found: storage vol 'test' already exists"
I think the output "Storage volume not found" is not appropriate. Because in fact storage
vol test has been found at this time. And then I think virErrorNumber should includes
VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST which can also be used elsewhere. So I make this patch. The result
is as following:
"error: Failed to create vol test
error: storage volume 'test' exists already"
Add virErrorSetErrnoFromLastError and virLastErrorIsSystemErrno
to simplify code which wants to handle system errors in a more
graceful fashion.

To register virtual machines and containers with systemd-machined,
and thus have cgroups auto-created, we need to talk over DBus.
This is somewhat tedious code, so introduce a dedicated function
to isolate the DBus call in one place.

Doing DBus method calls using libdbus.so is tedious in the
extreme. systemd developers came up with a nice high level
API for DBus method calls (sd_bus_call_method). While
systemd doesn't use libdbus.so, their API design can easily
be ported to libdbus.so.
This patch thus introduces methods virDBusCallMethod &
virDBusMessageRead, which are based on the code used for
sd_bus_call_method and sd_bus_message_read. This code in
systemd is under the LGPLv2+, so we're license compatible.
This code is probably pretty unintelligible unless you are
familiar with the DBus type system. So I added some API
docs trying to explain how to use them, as well as test
cases to validate that I didn't screw up the adaptation
from the original systemd code.

Actually, I'm turning this function into a macro as filename,
function name and line number needs to be passed. The new
function virAsprintfInternal is introduced with the extended set
of arguments.
This patch introduces the virAccessManagerPtr class as the
interface between virtualization drivers and the access
control drivers. The viraccessperm.h file defines the
various permissions that will be used for each type of object
libvirt manages

Apps using libvirt will often have code like
if (virXXXX() < 0) {
virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError();
fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n",
err && err->message ? err->message :
"unknown error");
return -1;
}
Checking for a NULL error object or message leads to very
verbose code. A virGetLastErrorMessage() helper from libvirt
can simplify this to
if (virXXXX() < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n",
virGetLastErrorMessage());
return -1;
}

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Add a virCgroupIsolateMount method which looks at where the
current process is place in the cgroups (eg /system/demo.lxc.libvirt)
and then remounts the cgroups such that this sub-directory
becomes the root directory from the current process' POV.

Introduce a local object virIdentity for managing security
attributes used to form a client application's identity.
Instances of this object are intended to be used as if they
were immutable, once created & populated with attributes

Without error handler set, virDefaultErrorFunc will be called, the
error message is prefixed with "libvir:". It become a little better
by using prefix "libvirt:" when working with upper application.
For example:
1, stop libvirtd daemon
2, run virt-top.
libvir: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect \
socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': \
No such file or directory
libvirt: VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR: VIR_FROM_RPC: \
Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': \
No such file or directory
Way back when I started making changes for Coverity messages my first set
were to a bunch of CHECKED_RETURN errors. In particular virAsprintf() had
a few callers that Coverity noted didn't check their return (although some
did check if the buffer being printed to was NULL or not).
It was suggested at the time as a further patch an ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
should be added to virAsprintf(), see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-January/msg00120.html
This patch does that and fixes a few more instances not found by Coverity
that failed the check.
