The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.
This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)
IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.
IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML
<volume>
<name>demo.raw</name>
<capacity>5368709120</capacity>
<target>
<format type='raw'/>
<encryption format='luks'>
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
</encryption>
</target>
</volume>
and when configuring a guest disk we should use
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<encryption format='luks'>
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
</encryption>
</disk>
This commit thus removes the "luks" storage volume type added
in

util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo
The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.
The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.
The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format. I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

<h1>Storage volume encryption XML format</h1>
|

<ul id="toc"></ul>

<h2><a name="StorageEncryption">Storage volume encryption XML</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Storage volumes may be encrypted, the XML snippet described below is used
|
|
to represent the details of the encryption. It can be used as a part
|
|
of a domain or storage configuration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top-level tag of volume encryption specification
|
|
is <code>encryption</code>, with a mandatory
|
|
attribute <code>format</code>. Currently defined values
|
|
of <code>format</code> are <code>default</code> and <code>qcow</code>.
|
|
Each value of <code>format</code> implies some expectations about the
|
|
content of the <code>encryption</code> tag. Other format values may be
|
|
defined in the future.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>encryption</code> tag can currently contain a sequence of
|
|
<code>secret</code> tags, each with mandatory attributes <code>type</code>
|
|
and either <code>uuid</code> or <code>usage</code>
|
|
(<span class="since">since 2.1.0</span>). The only currently defined
|
|
value of <code>type</code> is <code>volume</code>. The
|
|
<code>uuid</code> is "uuid" of the <code>secret</code> while
|
|
<code>usage</code> is the "usage" subelement field.
|
|
A secret value can be set in libvirt by the
|
|
<a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretSetValue">
|
|
<code>virSecretSetValue</code></a> API. Alternatively, if supported
|
|
by the particular volume format and driver, automatically generate a
|
|
secret value at the time of volume creation, and store it using the
|
|
specified <code>uuid</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3><a name="StorageEncryptionDefault">"default" format</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code><encryption format="default"/></code> can be specified only
|
|
when creating a qcow volume. If the volume is successfully created, the
|
|
encryption formats, parameters and secrets will be auto-generated by
|
|
libvirt and the attached <code>encryption</code> tag will be updated.
|
|
The unmodified contents of the <code>encryption</code> tag can be used
|
|
in later operations with the volume, or when setting up a domain that
|
|
uses the volume.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3><a name="StorageEncryptionQcow">"qcow" format</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>qcow</code> format specifies that the built-in encryption
|
|
support in <code>qcow</code>- or <code>qcow2</code>-formatted volume
|
|
images should be used. A single
|
|
<code><secret type='passphrase'></code> element is expected. If
|
|
the <code>secret</code> element is not present during volume creation,
|
|
a secret is automatically generated and attached to the volume.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3><a name="StorageEncryptionLuks">"luks" format</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>luks</code> format is specific to a luks encrypted volume
|
|
and the secret is used in order to either encrypt during volume creation
|
|
or decrypt the volume for usage by the domain. A single
|
|
<code><secret type='passphrase'...></code> element is expected.
|
|
<span class="since">Since 2.1.0</span>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For volume creation, it is possible to specify the encryption
|
|
algorithm used to encrypt the luks volume. The following two
|
|
optional elements may be provided for that purpose. It is hypervisor
|
|
dependent as to which algorithms are supported. The default algorithm
|
|
used by the storage driver backend when using qemu-img to create
|
|
the volume is 'aes-256-cbc' using 'essiv' for initialization vector
|
|
generation and 'sha256' hash algorithm for both the cipher and the
|
|
initialization vector generation.

Here is a simple example, specifying use of the <code>qcow</code> format:

<encryption format='qcow'>
|

<secret type='passphrase' uuid='c1f11a6d-8c5d-4a3e-ac7a-4e171c5e0d4a' />
