storage: Prior to creating a volume, refresh the pool
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233003 Although perhaps bordering on a don't do that type scenario, if someone creates a volume in a pool outside of libvirt, then uses that same name to create a volume in the pool via libvirt, then the creation will fail and in some cases cause the same name volume to be deleted. This patch will refresh the pool just prior to checking whether the named volume exists prior to creating the volume in the pool. While it's still possible to have a timing window to create a file after the check - at least we tried. At that point, someone is being malicious.
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.
