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.
Add the backing parse and a test case to verify parsing of VxHS
backing storage.

Our backing probing code handles directory file types properly in
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse(), by that I mean it leaves them
alone. However its caller, the virStorageFileGetMetadata() resets the
type to raw before probing, without even checking the type. We need
to special-case TYPE_DIR in order to achieve desired results.
Also, in order to properly test this, we need to stop resetting format
of volumes in tests for TYPE_DIR (probably the reason why we didn't
catch that and why the test data didn't need to be modified).

Use the full storage driver registration method that also fails if one
of the storage backends is not present. This makes the test fail if a
submodule fails registration, which is useful for testing.
Additionally return EXIT_FAILURE as usual in tests rather than -1.
Sheepdog and possibly others use nested objects for network server and
thus could be specified in a way that libvirt would not parse.

is fixed properly.
Starting from qemu 2.9, more granular options are supported. Add parser
for the relevant bits.
With this patch libvirt is able to parse the host and target IQN of from
the JSON pseudo-protocol specification.
This corresponds to BlockdevOptionsIscsi in qemu qapi.
'SocketAddress' structure was changed to contain 'inet' instead of
'tcp' since qemu commit c5f1ae3ae7b. Existing entries have a backward
compatibility layer.
Libvirt will parse 'inet' and 'tcp' as equivalents.
The 'raw' block driver in Qemu is not directly interesting from
libvirt's perspective, but it can be layered above some other block
drivers and this may be interesting for the user.
The patch adds support for the 'raw' block driver. The driver is treated
simply as a pass-through and child driver in JSON is queried to get the
necessary information.

Add a new storage driver registration function that will force the
backend code to fail if any of the storage backend modules can't be
loaded. This will make sure that they work and are present.
Add APIs that allow to dynamically register driver backends so that the
list of available drivers does not need to be known during compile time.
This will allow us to modularize the storage driver on runtime.
Add a modular parser that will allow to parse 'json' backing definitions
that are supported by qemu. The initial implementation adds support for
the 'file' driver.
Due to the approach qemu took to implement the JSON backing strings it's
possible to specify them in two approaches.
The object approach:
json:{ "file" : { "driver":"file",
"filename":"/path/to/file"
}
}
And a partially flattened approach:
json:{"file.driver":"file"
"file.filename":"/path/to/file"
}
Both of the above are supported by qemu and by the code added in this
commit. The current implementation de-flattens the first level ('file.')
if possible and required. Other handling may be added later but
currently only one level was possible anyways.
As we already test that the extraction of the backing store string works
well additional tests for the backing store string parser can be made
simpler.
Export virStorageSourceNewFromBackingAbsolute and use it to parse the
backing store strings, format them using virDomainDiskSourceFormat and
match them against expected XMLs.
This an ubuntu/debian packaging convention. At one point it may have
been an actually different binary, but at least as of ubuntu precise
(the oldest supported ubuntu distro, released april 2012) kvm-img is
just a symlink to qemu-img for back compat.
I think it's safe to drop support for it
If a storage file would be backed with a NBD device without path
(nbd://localhost) libvirt would crash when parsing the backing path for
the disk as the URI structure's path element is NULL in such case but
the NBD parser would access it shamelessly.
As we now have a common function to parse backing store string for RBD
backing store we can reuse it in the backing store walker so that we
don't fail on files backed by RBD storage.
This patch also adds a few tests to verify that the parsing works as
expected.
The code that parses the schema from the URI touches the "hosts[0]"
member of the storage file source structure in case the URI contains a
schema. The hosts array was not yet allocated at the point in the code
where the transport protocol was parsed and set. This lead to a crash of
libvirtd.
Fix the code by allocating the "hosts" array upfront and add a test case
to verify this scenario. (Unfortunately this requires shuffling the test
case numbers too).

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.
The parent directory doesn't necessarily need to be stored after we
don't mangle the path stored in the image. Remove it and tweak the code
to avoid using it.
Store backing chain paths as non-canonical. The canonicalization step
will be already taken. This will allow to avoid storing unnecessary
amounts of data.
libvirt always uses an absolute path to address the top image of an
image chain. Our storage test tests also the relative path which won't
ever be used. Additionally it makes the test more complicated.
Now that we store only relative names in virStorageSource's member
relPath the backingRelative member is obsolete. Remove it and adapt the
code to the removal.
Due to various refactors and compatibility with the virstoragetest the
relPath field of the virStorageSource structure was always filled either
with the relative name or the full path in case of absolutely backed
storage. Return its original purpose to store only the relative name of
the disk if it is backed relatively and tweak the tests.
Now that we changed ordering of the stored metadata so that the backing
store is described by the child element the test should reflect this
change too.
Remove the expected backing store field as it's actually described by
the next element in the backing chain, so there's no need for
duplication.
