It's not used anywhere except for the switch in
virStorageBackendCreateQemuImgOpts, where leaving it in causes
a dead code coverity warning and omitting it breaks compilation
because of unhandled enum value.
Introduced by 6298f74.
Detect qcow2 images with version 3 in the image header as
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QCOW2.
These images have a feature bitfield, with just one feature supported
so far: lazy_refcounts.
The header length changed too, moving the location of the backing
format name.
The document for "vol-resize" says the new capacity will be sparse
unless "--allocate" is specified, however, the "--allocate" flag
is never implemented. This implements the "--allocate" flag for
fs backend's raw type volume, based on posix_fallocate and the
syscall SYS_fallocate.
POSIX says that both basename() and dirname() may return static
storage (aka they need not be thread-safe); and that they may but
not must modify their input argument. Furthermore, <libgen.h>
is not available on all platforms. For these reasons, you should
never use these functions in a multi-threaded library.
Gnulib instead recommends a way to avoid the portability nightmare:
gnulib's "dirname.h" provides useful thread-safe counterparts. The
obvious dir_name() and base_name() are GPL (because they malloc(),
but call exit() on failure) so we can't use them; but the LGPL
variants mdir_name() (malloc's or returns NULL) and last_component
(always points into the incoming string without modifying it,
differing from basename semantics only on corner cases like the
empty string that we shouldn't be hitting in the first place) are
already in use in libvirt. This finishes the swap over to the safe
functions.

If you have a qcow2 file /path1/to/file pointed to by symlink
/path2/symlink, and pass qemu /path2/symlink, then qemu treats
a relative backing file in the qcow2 metadata as being relative
to /path2, not /path1/to. Yes, this means that it is possible
to create a qcow2 file where the choice of WHICH directory and
symlink you access its contents from will then determine WHICH
backing file (if any) you actually find; the results can be
rather screwy, but we have to match what qemu does.
Libvirt and qemu default to creating absolute backing file
names, so most users don't hit this. But at least VDSM uses
symlinks and relative backing names alongside the
--reuse-external flags to libvirt snapshot operations, with the
result that libvirt was failing to follow the intended chain of
backing files, and then backing files were not granted the
necessary sVirt permissions to be opened by qemu.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903248 for
more gory details. This fixes a regression introduced in
commit 8250783.
I tested this patch by creating the following chain:
ls /home/eblake/Downloads/Fedora.iso # raw file for base
cd /var/lib/libvirt/images
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
-obacking_file=/home/eblake/Downloads/Fedora.iso,backing_fmt=raw one
mkdir sub
cd sub
ln -s ../one onelink
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
-obacking_file=../sub/onelink,backing_fmt=qcow2 two
mv two ..
ln -s ../two twolink
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
-obacking_file=../sub/twolink,backing_fmt=qcow2 three
mv three ..
ln -s ../three threelink
then pointing my domain at /var/lib/libvirt/images/sub/threelink.
Prior to this patch, I got complaints about missing backing
files; afterwards, I was able to verify that the backing chain
(and hence DAC and SELinux relabels) of the entire chain worked.
* src/util/virstoragefile.h (_virStorageFileMetadata): Add
directory member.
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (absolutePathFromBaseFile): Drop,
replaced by...
(virFindBackingFile): ...better function.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataInternal): Add an argument.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD, virStorageFileChainLookup)
(virStorageFileGetMetadata): Update callers.
QEMU is fully capable of handling VDI images and we just refuse to
work with them. As qemu-img knows and supports this, there should be
no problem with this addition.
This is of course, just basic functionality, without searching for any
backing files, etc.
