Add helpers that will simplify checking if a backing file is valid or
whether it has backing store. The helper virStorageSourceIsBacking
returns true if the given virStorageSource is a valid backing store
member. virStorageSourceHasBacking returns true if the virStorageSource
has a backing store child.
Adding these functions creates a central points for further refactors.
Storage driver uses virStorageSource only partially to store it's
configuration but fully when parsing backing files of storage volumes.
This patch sets the 'type' field to a value other than
VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_NONE so that further patches can add a terminator
element to backing chains without breaking iteration.

Clean up the virsh man page description for --pool-create-as in order
to better describe how the various arguments are used when creating
(or defining) a logical pool.
Also modify the storage pool XML parsing algorithm to check for the
mismatched "name" and "source-name".
While parsing if the storage source is not present, then a defaultFormat
was not set. This could lead to oddities such as seeing "unknown" format
in output for the "logical" pool even though the only format the pool could
support would be "lvm2".
This does "put a label" on other pool defaults as follows:
File System: FS_AUTO
Network File System: NETFS_AUTO
Disk: UNKNOWN
Each of which is the "0" value for their respective pools and thus
would be no "real" change.
Alter the format of the code to follow more recent style guidelines of
two empty lines between functions, function decls with "[static] type"
on one line followed by function name with arguments to functions each
on one line.

Commit id 'dd519a294' caused a regression cloning a volume into a
logical pool by removing just the 'allocation' adjustment during
storageVolCreateXMLFrom. Combined with the change to not require the
new volume input XML to have a capacity listed (commit id 'e3f1d2a8')
left the possibility that a zero allocation value (e.g., not provided)
would create a thin/sparse logical volume. When a thin lv becomes fully
populated, then LVM sets the partition 'inactive' and the subsequent
fdatasync() fails.
Add a new 'has_allocation' flag to be set at XML parse time to indicate
that allocation was provided. This is done so that if it's not provided
the create-from code uses the capacity value since we document that if
omitted, the volume will be fully allocated at time of creation.
For a logical backend, that creation time is 'createVol', while for a
file backend, creation doesn't set the size, but the 'createRaw' called
during buildVolFrom will decide whether the file is sparse or not based
on the provided capacity and allocation value.
For volume clones that provide different allocation and capacity values
to allow for sparse files, there is no change.
Trying to define a pool name containing an embedded '/'

Besides our stateful driver, there are two other storage impls:
esx and phyp. esx doesn't support pool creation, so this should
doesn't apply.
phyp does support pool creation, and the name is passed to the
'mksp' tool, which google doesn't reveal whether it accepts '/'
or not. IMO the likeliness of this impacting any users is near zero
We had both and the only difference was that the latter also included
information about multifunction setting. The problem with that was that
we couldn't use functions made for only one of the structs (e.g.
parsing). To consolidate those two structs, use the one in virpci.h,
include that in domain_conf.h and add the multifunction member in it.

Commit id '4f846170' added printing of a new field 'part_separator';
however, neglected to do so when there was an "freeExtent" defined
for the device (as there would be when the disk pool was started).
This patch adjusts the logic to appropriately format the device path and
if there the part_separator attribute.
While reviewing how storage driver used ObjListPtr's for reference
in some recent secret driver patches to use the same mechanism, I came
across an instance where the wrong API was called for error paths after
successfully allocating the storage pool pointer and inserting into
the driver pool list.
The path is after virStoragePoolObjAssignDef succeeds - the 'def' passed
in is assigned to pool->def (or newDef) so it shouldn't be the only thing
deleted. The pool is now part of driver->pools.objs, so it would need to
be removed (as happens in the storagePoolCreateXML error paths).
Rather than calling virStoragePoolDefFree to free the def which is now
assigned to the pool, call virStoragePoolObjRemove to ensure the pool
element is removed from the driver list and that anything stored in pool
is properly handled by virStoragePoolObjFree including the call to
virStoragePoolDefFree for the pool->{def|newDef} element.
Add a new storage pool source device attribute 'part_separator=[yes|no]'
in order to allow a 'disk' storage pool using a device mapper multipath
device to not add the "p" partition separator to the generated device
name when libvirt_parthelper is run.
This will allow libvirt to find device mapper multipath devices which were
configured in /etc/multipath.conf to use 'user_friendly_names' or custom
'alias' names for the LUN.
This used to return 'unkown' and that was not correct.

The XML parser sets a default <mode> if none is explicitly passed in.
This is then used at pool/vol creation time, and unconditionally reported

are some cases where we want to make this distinction, but we currently
can't.

Remove the check for the source host name for iSCSI source XML processing
declaring duplicate sources when the source device path and if present the
initiator of a proposed storage pool matches an existing storage pool.
The backend iSCSI storage driver uses 'iscsiadm --mode session' to query
available iscsid target sessions. The output displayed is the IP address
and the IQN (target path) of known targets. The displayed IP address
is a resolved address based on the session --login. Additionally, iscsid
keeps track of the various ways to define the host name (IPv4 Address,
IPv6 Address, /etc/hosts, etc.) for that IQN (see output of an 'iscsiadm
--mode node'). If an incoming IQN matches and the host name provided by
libvirt is resolved to the existing IQN, then iscsid will "reuse" the
session. Although libvirt could do the same name resolution, if there
is a difference, iscsid could still declare two seemingly different sources
to be the same and not create a new session which means libvirt now has
two storage pools looking at the same source. Thus to avoid any strange
host name resolution issues, just rely on iscsid for that and do not
allow multiple pools on the same host to use the same device path (IQN).
Only perform the port number check if the incoming definition actually
provides it. Since the port number is optional we could erroneously pass
a duplicate source host check since some storage pool backends which fill
in the default port number (e.g., iSCSI and sheepdog) for the started pool.
Check the proposed pool source host XML definition against existing gluster
pools to ensure the incoming definition doesn't use the same source dir and
soure host XML definition as an existing pool.

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

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.
Since commit 3f99d64 no new scsi_host pools can be defined
if one of the already defined scsi_host pools does not refer
to an accessible scsi_host adapter.
Relax the check by skipping over these inaccessible pools
when checking for duplicates.
If both source adapters are specified by a parent address,
just comparing the address is faster and catches even addresses
that do not refer to valid adapters.

Resolve a crash in libvirtd resulting from commit id 'a4bd62ad' (1.0.6)
which added parentaddr and unique_id to allow unique identification of
a scsi_host, but assumed that all the pool entries and the incoming
definition would be similarly defined. If the existing pool uses the
'name' attribute and an incoming pool is using the parentaddr/unique_id,
then the code will attempt to compare the existing name string against
the incoming name string which doesn't exist (is NULL) and results in
a core (STREQ).
Conversely, if the existing pool used the parentaddr/unique_id and the
to be defined pool used the name, then the comparison would be against
the parentaddr, but since the incoming pool doesn't have one - that would
leave the comparison against a parentaddr of all 0's and a unique_id of 0,
which will always comparison to fail. This means someone could define the
same source adapter for two pools
In order to resolve this, adjust the code to get the 'host#' to be used

Resolve a libvirtd crash in virStoragePoolSourceFindDuplicate()
when there is an existing SCSI pool defined with adapter type as

as 'scsi_host' defined using the following XML

<source>
<adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_host1'/>

<path>/dev/disk/by-path</path>
</target>
</pool>
When defining another SCSI pool with adapter type as 'fc_host' using the
following XML will crash libvirtd
<pool type='scsi'>
<name>TEST_SCSI_FC_POOL</name>

Same is true for the reverse case as well where there exists a SCSI pool
with adapter type as 'fc_host' and another SCSI pool is defined with
adapter type as 'scsi_host'.
This happens because for fc_host 'name' is optional attribute whereas for
scsi_host its mandatory. However the check in libvirt for finding duplicate

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>
Between reboots and kernel reloads, the SCSI host number used for SCSI
storage pools may change requiring modification to the storage pool XML
in order to use a specific SCSI host adapter.
This patch introduces the "parentaddr" element and "unique_id" attribute
for the SCSI host adapter in order to uniquely identify the adapter
between reboots and kernel reloads. For now the goal is to only parse
and format the XML. Both will be required to be provided in order to
uniquely identify the desired SCSI host.
The new XML is expected to be as follows:
<adapter type='scsi_host'>
<parentaddr unique_id='3'>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' func='0x2'/>
</parentaddr>
</adapter>
where "parentaddr" is the parent device of the SCSI host using the PCI
address on which the device resides and the value from the unique_id file
for the device. Both the PCI address and unique_id values will be used
to traverse the /sys/class/scsi_host/ directories looking at each link
to match the PCI address reformatted to the directory link format where
"domain🚌slot:function" is found. Then for each matching directory
the unique_id file for the scsi_host will be used to match the unique_id
value in the xml.
For a PCI address listed above, this will be formatted to "0000:00:1f.2"
and the links in /sys/class/scsi_host will be used to find the host#
to be used for the 'scsi_host' device. Each entry is a link to the
/sys/bus/pci/devices directories, e.g.:
% ls -al /sys/class/scsi_host/host2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun 1 00:22 /sys/class/scsi_host/host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host2/scsi_host/host2
% cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/unique_id
3
The "parentaddr" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parentaddr" element will be the preferred
mechanism.
This patch only supports to parse and format the XMLs. Later patches will
add code to find out the scsi host number.
Add 'nocow' to storage volume xml so that user can have an option
to set NOCOW flag to the newly created volume. It's useful on btrfs
file system to enhance performance.
Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this
bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there
are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow,
then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to 'nocow' option, it could set
NOCOW flag per file:
for raw file images, handle 'nocow' in libvirt code; for non-raw file images,
pass 'nocow=on' option to qemu-img, and let qemu-img to handle that (requires
qemu-img version >= 2.1).

Replace the authType, chap, and cephx unions in virStoragePoolSource
with a single pointer to a virStorageAuthDefPtr. Adjust all users of
the previous chap/cephx and secret unions with the source->auth data.
Replace:
if (virBufferError(&buf)) {
virBufferFreeAndReset(&buf);
virReportOOMError();
...
}
with:
if (virBufferCheckError(&buf) < 0)
...
This should not be a functional change (unless some callers
misused the virBuffer APIs - a different error would be reported
then)
The VIR_ENUM_DECL/VIR_ENUM_IMPL helper macros already append 'Type'
to the enum name being converted; it looks silly to have functions
with 'TypeType' in their name. Even though some of our enums have
to have a 'Type' suffix, the corresponding string conversion
functions do not.
