Commit 348b4e2 introduced a potential problem (thankfully not in any release): we are attempting to use virFileReadHeaderFD() on a file that was opened with O_NONBLOCK. While this shouldn't be a problem in practice (because O_NONBLOCK typically doesn't affect regular or block files, and fifos and sockets cannot be storage volumes), it's better to play it safe to avoid races from opening an unexpected file type while also avoiding problems with having to handle EAGAIN while read()ing. Based on a report by Dan Berrange. * src/storage/storage_backend.c (virStorageBackendVolOpenCheckMode): Fix up fd after avoiding race. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
