The only caller always passes 0 for the extent start.
Drop the 'extent_start' parameter, as well as the mention of extents
from the function name.
Change off_t extent_length to unsigned long long wipe_len, as well as the
'remain' variable.
Return -1:
* on all failures of fdatasync. Instead of propagating -errno
all the way up to the virStorageVolWipe API, which is documented
to return 0 or -1.
* after a partial wipe. If safewrite failed, we would re-use the
non-negative return value of lseek (which should be 0 in this case,
because that's the only offset we seek to).
I found this useful while processing a volume that wouldn't end up
showing up in the resulting list of block volumes. In this case, the
partition type wasn't found in the disk_types table.
Similar to the openflags VIR_STORAGE_VOL_OPEN_NOERROR processing, if some
read processing operation fails, check the readflags for the corresponding
error flag being set. If so, rather then causing an error - use VIR_WARN
to flag the error, but return -2 which some callers can use to perform
specific actions. Use a new VIR_STORAGE_VOL_READ_NOERROR flag in a new
VolReadErrorMode enum.
While processing the volume for lseek, virFileReadHeaderFD, and
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf - failure would cause an error,
but ret would not be set. That would result in an error message being
sent, but successful status being returned.
Just so it's clearer what to expect upon input and what types of return
values could be generated. These were loosely copied from existing
virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD.
Similar to the openflags which allow VIR_STORAGE_VOL_OPEN_NOERROR to be
passed to avoid open errors, add a 'readflags' variable so that in the
future read failures could also be ignored.

Rather than using just open on the path, allow for the possibility that
the path to be opened resides on an NFS root-squash target and was created
under a different uid/gid.
Without using virFileOpenAs an attempt to get the volume size data may fail
if the current user doesn't have permissions to read the volume, such as
would be the case if mode wasn't supplied in the volume XML and the default
VIR_STORAGE_DEFAULT_VOL_PERM_MODE (e.g. 0600) was used. Under this scenario
the owner/group is not root:root, thus this path run under root would fail
to open/read the volume.
NB: The virFileOpenAs code using OPEN_FORK will only work when the failure
is not EACESS/EPERM and the path resolves to a shared file system.

Although commit id '77346f27' resolves part of the problem regarding creating
a qemu-img image in an NFS root-squash environment, it really didn't fix the
entire problem. Unfortunately it only masked the problem. It seems qemu-img
must open/create the image using 0644, which if used by target.perms would
result in the chmod not being called since the mode desired and set match.
Although qemu-img could conceivably ignore the mode when creating, libvirt
has more knowledge of the environment and can make the adjustment to the
mode far more easily by using virFileOpenAs with VIR_FILE_OPEN_FORCE_MODE.
If that's successful, then we know on return the file will have the right
owner and mode, so we can declare success
After successfully returning from virFileOpenAs, if subsequent calls fail,
then we need to remove the file since our caller expects that failures after
creation will remove the created file.
After a successful qemu-img/qcow-create of the backing file, if we
fail to stat the file, change it owner/group, or mode, then the
cleanup path should remove the file.
Currently the code does not handle the NFS root squash environment
properly since if the file gets created, then the subsequent chmod
will fail in a root squash environment where we're creating a file
in the pool with qemu tools, such as seen via:
$ virsh vol-create-from $pool $file.xml file.img --inputpool $pool
assuming $file.xml is creating a file of "<format type='qcow2'"> from
an existing file.img in the pool of "<format type='raw'>".
This patch will utilize the virCommandSetUmask when creating the file
in the NETFS pool. The virCommandSetUmask API was added in commit id
'0e1a1a8c4', which was after the original code was developed in commit
id 'e1f27784' to attempt to handle the root squash environment.
Also, rather than blindly attempting to chmod, check to see if the
st_mode bits from the stat match what we're trying to set and only
make the chmod if they don't.
Also, a slight adjustment to the fallback algorithm to move the
virCommandSetUID/virCommandSetGID inside the if (!filecreated) since
they're only useful if we need to attempt to create the file again.
Commit id '7c2d65dde2' changed the default value of mode to be -1 if not
supplied in the XML, which should cause creation of the volume using the
default mode of VIR_STORAGE_DEFAULT_VOL_PERM_MODE; however, the check
made was whether mode was '0' or not to use default or provided value.
This patch fixes the issue to check if the 'mode' was provided in the XML
and use that value.
While a zero allocation in safezero should be fine it isn't when we use
posix_fallocate which returns EINVAL on a zero allocation.
While we could skip the zero allocation in safezero_posix_fallocate it's
an optimization to do it for all allocations.

In commit 155ca616e, a change was introduced that no longer allowed defining
volumes via XML with a capacity of '0'. Because we check for info.size_arg
to be non-zero, this use-case fails. This patch allows info.size_arg to be
zero if no backing store is specified.

When virsh vol-clone is attempted on a raw file where capacity > allocation,
the resulting cloned volume has a size that matches the virtual-size of
the parent; in place of matching its actual, disk size.
This patch fixes the cloned disk to have same _allocated_size_ as
the parent file from which it was cloned.

Instead of storing the remaining bytes, store the position of the first
unallocated byte. This will allow changing the amount of bytes copied
by virStorageBackendCopyToFD without changing the safezero call.
No functional impact.
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
in the XML.
The problem with this approach is that it's impossible for other code
to determine if the user explicitly requested a storage mode. There
are some cases where we want to make this distinction, but we currently
can't.
Handle <mode> parsing like we handle <owner>/<group>: if no value is
passed in, set it to -1, and adjust the internal consumers to handle
it.
Trying to use qemu:///session to create a storage pool pointing at
/tmp will usually fail with something like:
$ virsh pool-start tmp
error: Failed to start pool tmp
error: cannot open volume '/tmp/systemd-private-c38cf0418d7a4734a66a8175996c384f-colord.service-kEyiTA': Permission denied
If any volume in an FS pool can't be opened by the daemon, the refresh
fails, and the pool can't be used.
This causes pain for virt-install/virt-manager though. Imaging a user
downloads a disk image to /tmp. virt-manager wants to import /tmp as
a storage pool, so we can detect what disk format it is, and set the
XML correctly. However this case will likely fail as explained above.
Change the logic here to skip volumes that fail to open. This could
conceivably cause user complaints along the lines of 'why doesn't
libvirt show $ROOT-OWNED-VOLUME-FOO', but figuring that currently
the pool won't even startup, I don't think there are any current
users that care about that case.

For virStorageBackendStablePath, in order to make decisions in other code

A helper that never returns an error and treats bits out of bitmap range
as false.
Use it everywhere we use ignore_value on virBitmapGetBit, or loop over
the bitmap size.
Instead of just looking at the output of fstat, call
virStorageFileGetMetadata to get the full capacity from
image headers.
Note that the capacity is probed unconditionally. The updateCapacity
bool parameter is ignored and will be removed in the following commit.
During virStorageBackendDiskMakeDataVol processing, if we find an extended
partition, then handle it specially when updating the capacity/allocation
rather than calling virStorageBackendUpdateVolInfo.
As it turns out, once a logical partition exists, any attempt to refresh
the pool or after libvirtd restart/reload will result in a failure to open
the extended partition device resulting in the inability to start the pool.
The downside to this is we will lose the <permissions> and <timestamps> for
the extended partition upon subsequent restart, refresh, reload since the
stat() in virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD will not be called. However,
since it's really only a container and shouldn't directly be used for
storage that seems reasonable.
Therefore, only use the existing code that already had a comment about
getting the allocation wrong for extended partitions for just the setting
of the extended partition data.
When creating a RAW file, we don't take advantage
of clone of btrfs.

Remove the resize flag and use the same code path for all callers.
This flag was added by commit 18f0316 to allow virStorageFileResize
use 'safezero' while preserving the behavior.
Explicitly return -2 when a fallback to a different method should
be done, to make the code path more obvious.
Fail immediately when ftruncate fails in the mmap method,
as we did before commit 18f0316.
Currently virStorageFileResize() function uses build conditionals to
choose either the posix_fallocate() or syscall(SYS_fallocate) with no
fallback in order to preallocate the space in the newly resized file.
Since the safezero code has a similar set of conditionals modify the
resize and safezero code in order to allow the resize logic to make use
of safezero to unify the look/feel of the code paths.
Add a new boolean (resize) to safezero() to make the optional decision
whether to try syscall(SYS_fallocate) if the posix_fallocate fails because
HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE is not defined (eg, return -1 and errno == 0).
Create a local safezero_sys_fallocate in order to handle the resize
code paths that support that. If not present, the set errno = ENOSYS
in order to allow the caller to handle the failure scenarios.

Since virSecretFree will call virObjectUnref anyway, let's just use that
directly so as to avoid the possibility that we inadvertently clear out
a pending error message when using the public API.
virStorageBackendVolDownloadLocal and virStorageBackendVolUploadLocal
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.
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>
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.
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).

When the backing store of a volume wasn't accessible while updating the
volume definition the call would fail altogether. In cases where we
currently (incorrectly) treat remote backing stores as local one this
might lead to strange errors.
Ignore the opening errors until we figure out how to track proper volume
metadata.
For non-local storage drivers we can't expect to use the FDStream
backend for up/downloading volumes. Split the code into a separate
backend function so that we can add protocol specific code later.
