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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160565
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.
for XML as follows:

<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host4' wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
</source>
Where 'nodedev-dumpxml scsi_host16' provides:
<device>
<name>scsi_host16</name>
<path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:10:00.0/host3/vport-3:0-11/host16</path>

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'>
<name>fc_pool</name>
<source>
<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.

The shared storage driver is stateful and inside the daemon so
there is no need to use the storagePrivateData field to get the
driver handle. Just access the global driver handle directly.
Add a new parameter to virStorageFileGetMetadata that will break the
backing chain detection process and report useful error message rather
than having to use virStorageFileChainGetBroken.
This patch just introduces the option, usage will be provided
separately.
- Provide an implementation for buildPool and deletePool operations
for the ZFS storage backend.
- Add VIR_STORAGE_POOL_SOURCE_DEVICE flag to ZFS pool poolOptions
as now we can specify devices to build pool from
- storagepool.rng: add an optional 'sourceinfodev' to 'sourcezfs' and
add an optional 'target' to 'poolzfs' entity
- Add a couple of tests to storagepoolxml2xmltest

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)
This trivial patch fixes couple of such occurrences.

Currently, qemu driver uses qemuTranslateDiskSourcePool()
to translate disk volume information. This function is
general enough and could be used for other drivers as well,
so move it to conf/domain_conf.c along with its helpers.
- qemuTranslateDiskSourcePool: move to storage/storage_driver.c
and rename to virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool,
- qemuAddISCSIPoolSourceHost: move to storage/storage_driver.c
and rename to virStorageAddISCSIPoolSourceHost,
- qemuTranslateDiskSourcePoolAuth: move to storage/storage_driver.c
and rename to virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePoolAuth,
- Update users of qemuTranslateDiskSourcePool to use a
new name.
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
virStorageBackendSCSIRefreshPool() to automagically find the scsi_host
by its PCI address and unique_id
Rather than assume that NOT FC_HOST is SCSI_HOST, let's call them out
specifically. Makes it easier to find SCSI_HOST code/structs and ensures
something isn't missed in the future
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1091866
Add a new boolean 'sparse'. This will be used by the logical backend
storage driver to determine whether the target volume is sparse or not
(also known by a snapshot or thin logical volume). Although setting sparse
to true at creation could be seen as duplicitous to setting during
virStorageBackendLogicalMakeVol() in case there are ever other code paths
between Create and FindLVs that need to know about the volume be sparse.
Use the 'sparse' in a new virStorageBackendLogicalVolWipe() to decide whether
to attempt to wipe the logical volume or not. For now, I have found no
means to wipe the volume without writing to it. Writing to the sparse
volume causes it to be filled. A sparse logical volume is not completely
writeable as there exists metadata which if overwritten will cause the
sparse lv to go INACTIVE which means pool-refresh will not find it.
Access to whatever lvm uses to manage data blocks is not provided by
any API I could find.
Coverity complains about the return value of ioctl not being checked.
Even though we carry on when this fails (just like qemu-img does),
we can log an error.
For non-local storage drivers we can't expect to use the "scrub" tool to
wipe the volume. Split the code into a separate backend function so that
we can add protocol specific code later.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1118710
The next patch will move the storage volume wiping code into the
individual backends. This patch splits out the common code to wipe a
local volume into a separate backend helper so that the next patch is
simpler.
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).
