If the hostname as returned by "gethostname" resolves
to "localhost" (as it does with the broken Fedora-12
installer), then live migration will fail because the
source will try to migrate to itself. Detect this
situation up-front and abort the live migration before
we do any real work.
* src/util/util.h src/util/util.c: add a new virGetHostnameLocalhost
with an optional localhost check, and rewire virGetHostname() to use
it
* src/libvirt_private.syms: expose the new function
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: use it in qemudDomainMigratePrepare2()
For __virExec() this is a semantic NOP except for when fork()
fails. __virExec() would previously forget to restore the signal mask
in this case; virFork() corrects this behavior.
virFileCreate() and virDirCreate() gain the code to reset the logging
and properly deal with the signal handling race condition.
This also removes a log message that had a typo ("cannot fork o create
file '%s'") - this error is now logged in a more generic manner in
virFork() (more generic, but really just as informative, since the
fact that it's forking to create a file is immaterial to the fact that
it simply can't fork)
* src/util/util.c: use the generic virFork() in the 3 functions
virFork() contains bookkeeping that must be done any time a process
forks. Currently this includes:
1) Call virLogLock() prior to fork() and virLogUnlock() just after,
to avoid a deadlock if some other thread happens to hold that lock
during the fork.
2) Reset the logging hooks and send all child process log messages to
stderr.
3) Block all signals prior to fork(), then either a) reset the signal
mask for the parent process, or b) clear the signal mask for the
child process.
Note that the signal mask handling in __virExec erroneously fails to
restore the signal mask when fork() fails. virFork() fixes this
problem.
Other than this, it attempts to behave as closely to fork() as
possible (including preserving errno for the caller), with a couple
exceptions:
1) The return value is 0 (success) or -1 (failure), while the pid is
returned via the pid_t* argument. Like fork(), if pid < 0 there is
no child process, otherwise both the child and the parent will
return to the caller, and both should look at the return value,
which will indicate if some of the extra processing outlined above
encountered an error.
2) If virFork() returns with pid < 0 or with a return value < 0
indicating an error condition, the error has already been
reported. You can log an additional message if you like, but it
isn't necessary, and may be awkwardly extraneous.
Note that virFork()'s child process will *never* call _exit() - if a
child process is created, it will return to the caller.
* util.c util.h: add virFork() function, based on what is currently
done in __virExec().
Similar fix as previous one but for fork() usage when creating
a file or directory
* src/util/util.c: virLogLock() and virLogUnlock() around fork()
in virFileCreate() and virDirCreateSimple()
Ad pointed out by Dan Berrange:
So if some thread in libvirtd is currently executing a logging call,
while another thread calls virExec(), that other thread no longer
exists in the child, but its lock is never released. So when the
child then does virLogReset() it deadlocks.
The only way I see to address this, is for the parent process to call
virLogLock(), immediately before fork(), and then virLogUnlock()
afterwards in both parent & child. This will ensure that no other
thread
can be holding the lock across fork().
* src/util/logging.[ch] src/libvirt_private.syms: export virLogLock() and
virLogUnlock()
* src/util/util.c: lock just before forking and unlock just after - in
both parent and child.
* src/util/util.c (virGetUserID, virGetGroupID): In the unlikely event
that sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) fails, don't use -1 as the size in
the subsequent allocation.
On RHEL-5 the qemu-kvm binary is located in /usr/libexec.
To reduce confusion for people trying to run upstream libvirt
on RHEL-5 machines, make the qemu driver look in /usr/libexec
for the qemu-kvm binary.
To make this work, I modified virFindFileInPath to handle an
absolute path correctly. I also ran into an issue where
NULL was sometimes being passed for the file parameter
to virFindFileInPath; it didn't crash prior to this patch
since it was building paths like /usr/bin/(null). This
is non-standard behavior, though, so I added a NULL
check at the beginning.

virFileMakePath is a recursive function that was creates a buffer
PATH_MAX bytes long for each recursion (one recursion for each element
in the path). This changes it to have no buffers on the stack, and to
allocate just one buffer total, no matter how many elements are in the
path. Because the modified algorithm requires a char* to be passed in
rather than const char *, it is now 2 functions - a toplevel API
function that remains identical in function, and a 2nd helper function
called for the recursions, which 1) doesn't allocate anything, and 2)
takes a char* arg, so it can modify the contents.
* src/util/util.c: rewrite virFileMakePath
These functions create a new file or directory with the given
uid/gid. If the flag VIR_FILE_CREATE_AS_UID is given, they do this by
forking a new process, calling setuid/setgid in the new process, and
then creating the file. This is better than simply calling open then
fchown, because in the latter case, a root-squashing nfs server would
create the new file as user nobody, then refuse to allow fchown.
If VIR_FILE_CREATE_AS_UID is not specified, the simpler tactic of
creating the file/dir, then chowning is is used. This gives better
results in cases where the parent directory isn't on a root-squashing
NFS server, but doesn't give permission for the specified uid/gid to
create files. (Note that if the fork/setuid method fails to create the
file due to access privileges, the parent process will make a second
attempt using this simpler method.)
If the bit VIR_FILE_CREATE_ALLOW_EXIST is set in the flags, an
existing file/directory will not cause an error; in this case, the
function will simply set the permissions of the file/directory to
those requested. If VIR_FILE_CREATE_ALLOW_EXIST is not specified, an
existing file/directory is considered (and reported as) an error.
Return from both of these functions is 0 on success, or the value of
errno if there was a failure.
* src/util/util.[ch]: add the 2 new util functions
Until recently, some gnulib-generated replacement headers
included *other* headers that were not strictly necessary,
thus masking the need in this file for an explicit <stdlib.h>.
* src/util/util.c: Include <stdlib.h> for declarations of e.g.,
strtol, random_r, getenv, etc.
With the introduction virDispatchError, hook function errors are
never sent through the error callback, so users will never see
these messages.
Fix this by calling virDispatchError after hook failure.
This allows debug statements and raised errors in hook functions to
actually be logged somewhere (stderr). Users can enable debugging in the
daemon and now see more info in /var/log/libvirt/...
The virFileResolveLink utility function relied on the POSIX guarantee
that stat.st_size of a symlink is the length of the value. However,
on some types of file systems, it is invalid, so do not rely on it.
Use gnulib's areadlink module instead.
* bootstrap (modules): Add areadlink.
* src/util/util.c: Include "areadlink.h".
Let areadlink perform the readlink and malloc.
* configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink. No need,
since it's presence is guaranteed by gnulib.
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.
esxVMX_IndexToDiskName handles indices up to 701. This limit comes
from a mapping gap in virDiskNameToIndex:
sdzy -> 700
sdzz -> 701
sdaaa -> 728
sdaab -> 729
This line in virDiskNameToIndex causes this gap:
idx = (idx + i) * 26;
Fixing it by altering this line to:
idx = (idx + (i < 1 ? 0 : 1)) * 26;
Also add a new version of virIndexToDiskName that handles the inverse
mapping for arbitrary indices.
* src/esx/esx_vmx.[ch]: remove esxVMX_IndexToDiskName
* src/util/util.[ch]: add virIndexToDiskName and fix mapping gap

virBuildPath and virBuildPathInternal() function
All drivers have copy + pasted inadequate error reporting which wraps
util.c:virGetHostname. Move all error reporting to this function, and improve
what we report.
Changes from v1:
Drop the driver wrappers around virGetHostname. This means we still need
to keep the new conn argument to virGetHostname, but I think it's worth
it.
Nearly all of the methods in src/util/util.h have error codes that
must be checked by the caller to correct detect & report failure.
Add ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK to ensure compile time validation of
this
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Add explicit check on return value of virAsprintf

The fread_file_lim() function uses fread() but never handles
EINTR results, causing unexpected failures when reading QEMU
help arg info. It was unneccessarily using FILE * instead
of plain UNIX file handles, which prevented use of saferead()
* src/util/util.c: Switch fread_file_lim over to use saferead
instead of fread, remove FILE * use, and rename
* src/util/util.[ch]: Add virFileAbsPath() function to ensure an
absolute path for a potentially realtive path.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: add it in libvirt private symbols
Add the virStrncpy function, which takes a dst string, source string,
the number of bytes to copy and the number of bytes available in the
dest string. If the source string is too large to fit into the
destination string, including the \0 byte, then no data is copied and
the function returns NULL. Otherwise, this function copies n bytes
from source into dst, including the \0, and returns a pointer to the
dst string. This function is intended to replace all unsafe uses
of strncpy in the code base, since strncpy does *not* guarantee that
the buffer terminates with a \0.
