"virStorageBackendCreateVols":
"names->next" serves as condition expression for "do...while",
however, "names" was shifted before, it then results in one less
loop, and thus, one less volume will be created for mpath pool,
the patch is to fix it.
* src/storage/storage_backend_mpath.c
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
If vol->capacity is odd, the capacity will be rounded down
by devision, this patch is to round it up instead of rounding
down, to be safer in case of one writes to the volume with the
size he used to create.

If there is a dangling symbolic link in filesystem pool, the pool
will fail to start or refresh, this patch is to fix it by ignoring
it with a warning log.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for at least a stdint.h fix
* src/storage/storage_driver.c (storageVolumeZeroSparseFile)
(storageWipeExtent): Use better type, although it still triggers
spurious -Wformat warning on MacOS's gcc.
security_context_t happens to be a typedef for char*, and happens to
begin with a string usable as a raw context string. But in reality,
it is an opaque type that may or may not have additional information
after the first NUL byte, where that additional information can
include pointers that can only be freed via freecon().
Proof is from this valgrind run of daemon/libvirtd:

The SCSI volumes currently get a name like '17:0:0:1' based
on $host:$bus:$target:$lun. The names are intended to be unique
per pool and stable across pool restarts. The inclusion of the
$host component breaks this, because the $host number for iSCSI
pools is dynamically allocated by the kernel at time of login.
This changes the name to be 'unit:0:0:1', ie removes the leading
host component. The 'unit:' prefix is just to ensure the volume
name doesn't start with a number and make it clearer when seen
out of context.
* src/storage/storage_backend_scsi.c: Improve volume name
field value stability and uniqueness
Many operations are not valid on inactive storage pools. The
storage driver is currently returning VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR
in these cases, rather than the more suitable error code
VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix error code when pool
is not active
When libvirt starts up all storage pools default to the inactive
state, even if the underlying storage is already active on the
host. This introduces a new API into the internal storage backend
drivers that checks whether a storage pool is already active. If
the pool is active at libvirtd startup, the volume list will be
immediately populated.
* src/storage/storage_backend.h: New internal API for checking
storage pool state
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Check whether a pool is active
upon driver startup

src/storage/storage_backend_scsi.c: Add checks for pool state
Since the previous patch added support for parsing the output of
the 'sendtargets' command, it is now trivial to support the
storage pool discovery API.
Given a hostname and optional portnumber and initiator IQN,
the code can return a full list of storage pool source docs,
each one representing a iSCSI target.
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.c: Wire up target
auto-discovery
The Linux iSCSI initiator toolchain has the dubious feature that
if you ever run the 'sendtargets' command to merely query what
targets are available from a server, the results will be recorded
in /var/lib/iscsi. Any time the '/etc/init.d/iscsi' script runs
in the future, it will then automatically login to all those
targets. /etc/init.d/iscsi is automatically run whenever a NIC
comes online.
So from the moment you ask a server what targets are available,
your client will forever more automatically try to login to all
targets without ever asking if you actually want it todo this.
To stop this stupid behaviour, we need to run
iscsiadm --portal $PORTAL --target $TARGET
--op update --name node.startup --value manual
For every target on the server.
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.c: Disable automatic login
for targets found as a result of a 'sendtargets' command
The following series of patches are adding significant
extra functionality to the iSCSI driver. THe current
internal helper methods are not sufficiently flexible
to cope with these changes. This patch refactors the
code to avoid needing to have a virStoragePoolObjPtr
instance as a parameter, instead passing individual
target, portal and initiatoriqn parameters.
It also removes hardcoding of port 3260 in the portal
address, instead using the XML value if any.
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.c: Refactor internal
helper methods
Per the gettext developer:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-10/msg00019.htmlhttp://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-10/msg00021.html
gettext() doesn't work correctly on all platforms unless you have
called setlocale(). Furthermore, gnulib's gettext.h has provisions
for setting up a default locale, which is the preferred method for
libraries to use gettext without having to call textdomain() and
override the main program's default domain (virInitialize already
calls bindtextdomain(), but this is insufficient without the
setlocale() added in this patch; and a redundant bindtextdomain()
in this patch doesn't hurt, but serves as a good example for other
packages that need to bind a second translation domain).
This patch is needed to silence a new gnulib 'make syntax-check'
rule in the next patch.
* daemon/libvirtd.c (main): Setup locale and gettext.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c (main): Likewise.
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c (main): Likewise.

Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().
Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()< 0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()< 0.
I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.
Using automated replacement with sed and editing I have now replaced all
occurrences of close() with VIR_(FORCE_)CLOSE() except for one, of
course. Some replacements were straight forward, others I needed to pay
attention. I hope I payed attention in all the right places... Please
have a look. This should have at least solved one more double-close
error.
The 2nd and 3rd hunk show the only double-closed file descriptor code part that I found while trying to clean up close(). The first hunk seems a harmless cleanup in that same file.
Found by clang. Clang complained that virStorageBackendProbeTarget
could dereference NULL if backingStoreFormat was NULL, but since all
callers passed a valid pointer, I added attributes instead of null
checks.
* src/storage/storage_backend.c
(virStorageBackendQEMUImgBackingFormat): Kill dead store.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c (virStorageBackendProbeTarget):
Likewise. Skip null checks, by adding attributes.
One error exit in virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom was setting the
return value to errno. The convention for volume build functions is to
return 0 on success or -1 on failure. Not only was it not necessary to
set the return value (it defaults to -1, and is set to 0 when
everything has been successfully completed), in the case that some
caller were checking for < 0 rather than != 0, they would incorrectly
believe that it completed successfully.
virDirCreate also previously returned 0 on success and errno on
failure. This makes it fit the recommended convention of returning 0
on success, -errno (ie a negative number) on failure.
Previously virStorageBackendCopyToFD would simply return -1 on
error. This made the error return from one of its callers inconsistent
(createRawFileOpHook is supposed to return -errno, but if
virStorageBackendCopyToFD failed, createRawFileOpHook would just
return -1). Since there is a useful errno in every case of error
return from virStorageBackendCopyToFD, and since the other uses of
that function ignore the return code (beyond simply checking to see if
it is < 0), this is a safe change.
virFileOperation previously returned 0 on success, or the value of
errno on failure. Although there are other functions in libvirt that
use this convention, the preferred (and more common) convention is to
return 0 on success and -errno (or simply -1 in some cases) on
failure. This way the check for failure is always (ret < 0).
* src/util/util.c - change virFileOperation and virFileOperationNoFork to
return -errno on failure.
* src/storage/storage_backend.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
- change the hook functions passed to virFileOperation to return
-errno on failure.
Originally the storage volume files were opened with O_DSYNC to make
sure they were flushed to disk immediately. It turned out that this
was extremely slow in some cases, so the O_DSYNC was removed in favor
of just calling fsync() after all the data had been written. However,
this call to fsync was inside the block that is executed to zero-fill
the end of the volume file. In cases where the new volume is copied
from an old volume, and they are the same length, this fsync would
never take place.
Now the fsync is *always* done, unless there is an error (in which
case it isn't important, and is most likely inappropriate.
A missing set of braces around an error condition caused us to skip
zero'ing out the remainder of a new volume file if the new volume was
longer than the original (the goto was supposed to be taken only in
the case of error, but was always being taken).
The storage volume lookup code was probing for the backing store
format, instead of using the format extracted from the file
itself. This meant it could report in accurate information. If
a format is included in the file, then use that in preference,
with probing as a fallback.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: Use extracted backing store
format
When creating qcow2 files with a backing store, it is important
to set an explicit format to prevent QEMU probing. The storage
backend was only doing this if it found a 'kvm-img' binary. This
is wrong because plenty of kvm-img binaries don't support an
explicit format, and plenty of 'qemu-img' binaries do support
a format. The result was that most qcow2 files were not getting
a backing store format.
This patch runs 'qemu-img -h' to check for the two support
argument formats
'-o backing_format=raw'
'-F raw'
and use whichever option it finds
* src/storage/storage_backend.c: Query binary to determine
how to set the backing store format
Require the disk image to be passed into virStorageFileGetMetadata.
If this is set to VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO, then the format will be
resolved using probing. This makes it easier to control when
probing will be used
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c,
src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/virt-aa-helper.c:
Set VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO when calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: Probe for disk format before
calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.
* src/util/storage_file.h, src/util/storage_file.c: Remove format
from virStorageFileMeta struct & require it to be passed into
method.
There are many naming conventions for partitions associated with a
block device. Some of the major ones are:
/dev/foo -> /dev/foo1
/dev/foo1 -> /dev/foo1p1
/dev/mapper/foo -> /dev/mapper/foop1
/dev/disk/by-path/foo -> /dev/disk/by-path/foo-part1
The universe of possible conventions isn't clear. Rather than trying
to understand all possible conventions, this patch divides devices
into two groups, device mapper devices and everything else. Device
mapper devices seem always to follow the convention of device ->
devicep1; everything else is canonicalized.
Daniel's patch works with gcc and CFLAGS containing -O (the
autoconf default), but fails with non-gcc or with other
CFLAGS (such as -g), since c-ctype.h declares c_isdigit as
a macro only for certain compilation settings.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_parthelper_LDFLAGS): Add gnulib
library, for when c_isdigit is not a macro.
* src/storage/parthelper.c (main): Avoid out-of-bounds
dereference, noticed by Jim Meyering.
Disks with a trailing digit in their path (eg /dev/loop0 or
/dev/dm0) have an extra 'p' appended before the partition
number (eg, to form /dev/loop0p1 not /dev/loop01). Fix the
partition lookup to append this extra 'p' when required
* src/storage/parthelper.c: Add a 'p' before partition
number if required
The storage pool driver is mistakenly using the error code
VIR_ERR_INVALID_STORAGE_POOL which is for diagnosing invalid
pointers. This patch switches it to use VIR_ERR_NO_STORAGE_POOL
which is the correct code for cases where the storage pool does
not exist
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Replace VIR_ERR_INVALID_STORAGE_POOL
with VIR_ERR_NO_STORAGE_POOL
The storage pool driver is not doing correct checking for
duplicate UUID/name values. This introduces a new method
virStoragePoolObjIsDuplicate, based on the previously
written virDomainObjIsDuplicate.
* src/conf/storage_conf.c, src/conf/storage_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virStoragePoolObjIsDuplicate,
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Call virStoragePoolObjIsDuplicate
for checking uniqueness of uuid/names

We already try to avoid these special files, but only attempt after
opening the path, which is where the problems lie. Unify volume opening
into helper functions, which use the proper open() flags to avoid error,
followed by fstat to validate storage mode.
Previously, virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD attempted to enforce the
storage mode check, but allowed callers to detect this case and silently
continue. In practice, only the FS backend was using this feature, the rest
were treating unknown mode as an error condition. Unfortunately the InfoFD
function wasn't raising an error message here, so error reporting was
busted.
This patch adds 2 functions: virStorageBackendVolOpen, and
virStorageBackendVolOpenModeSkip. The latter retains the original opt out
semantics, the former now throws an explicit error.
This patch maintains the previous volume mode checks: allowing specific
modes for specific pool types requires a bit of surgery, since VolOpen
is called through several different helper functions.
v2: Use ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL. Drop stat check, just open with
O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY.
v3: Move mode check logic back to VolOpen. Use 2 VolOpen functions with
different error semantics.
v4: Make second VolOpen function more extensible. Didn't opt to change
FS backend defaults, this can just be to fix the original bug.
v5: Prefix default flags with VIR_, use ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
Spurious / in a pool target path makes life difficult for apps using the
GetVolByPath, and doing other path based comparisons with pools. This
has caused a few issues for virt-manager users:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494005https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593565
Add a new util API which removes spurious /, virFileSanitizePath. Sanitize
target paths when parsing pool XML, and for paths passed to GetVolByPath.
v2: Leading // must be preserved, properly sanitize path=/, sanitize
away /./ -> /
v3: Properly handle starting ./ and ending /.
v4: Drop all '.' handling, just sanitize / for now.
Volume detection in the scsi backend was duplicating code already
present in storage_backend.c. Let's drop the duplicate code.
Also, change the shared function name to be less generic, and remove
some error squashing in the other call site.
We were squashing error messages in a few cases. Recode to follow common
ret = -1 convention.
v2: Handle more error squashing issues further up in MakeNewVol and
CreateVols. Use ret = -1 convention in MakeVols.
virFileResolveLink was returning a positive value on error,
thus confusing callers that assumed failure was < 0. The
confusion is further evidenced by callers that would have
ended up calling virReportSystemError with a negative value
instead of a valid errno.
