proto: Fix both-ends-cancel case.
In the case where both ends cancel at the same time (eg. both ends
realize there are errors before or during the transfer), previously we
skipped sending back an error from the daemon, on the spurious basis
that the library would not need it (the library is cancelling because
of its own error).
However this is wrong: we should always send back an error message
from the daemon in order to preserve synchronization of the protocol.
A simple test case is:
$ guestfish -N fs -m /dev/sda1 upload nosuchfile /
libguestfs: error: open: nosuchfile: No such file or directory
libguestfs: error: unexpected procedure number (66/282)
(Notice two things: there are errors at both ends, and the
loss of synchronization).
After applying this commit, the loss of synchronization does not occur
and we just see the library error:
$ guestfish -N fs -m /dev/sda1 upload nosuchfile /
libguestfs: error: open: nosuchfile: No such file or directory
The choice of displaying the library or the daemon error is fairly
arbitrary in this case -- it would be valid to display either or even
to combine them into one error. Displaying the library error only
makes the code considerably simpler.
This commit also (re-)enables a test for this case.
Richard W.M. Jones [Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:17:30 +0000 (17:17 +0000)]
proto: Fix FileIn ops that abort during the chunk upload stage.
As a previous, incorrect attempt to fix RHBZ#576879 we tried to
prevent the daemon from sending an error reply if the daemon had
cancelled the transfer. This is wrong: the daemon should send an
error reply in these cases.
A simple test case is this:
guestfish -N fs -m /dev/sda1 upload big-file /
(This fails because the target "/" is a directory, not a file.)
Prior to this commit, libguestfs would hang instead of printing an
error. With this commit, libguestfs prints an error.
What is happening is:
(1) Library is uploading
a file (2) In the middle of the long
upload, daemon detects an error.
Daemon cancels.
(3) Library detects cancel,
sends cancel chunk, then waits
for the error reply from the
daemon. (4) Daemon is supposed to send
an error reply message.
Because step (4) wasn't happening, uploads that failed like this would
hang in the library (waiting for the error message, while the daemon
was waiting for the next request).
This also adds a regression test.
This temporarily breaks the "both ends cancel" case (RHBZ#
576879c5).
Therefore the test for that is disabled, and this is fixed in the next
patch in the series.
This partially reverts commit
dc706a639eec16084c0618baf7bfde00c6565f63.
Richard Jones [Fri, 18 Mar 2011 16:18:37 +0000 (16:18 +0000)]
proto: Don't drop outgoing message when daemon cancels (RHBZ#576879).
This is a (potential) fix for the long standing protocol bug
which causes loss of synchronization when a FileIn action
fails very early on the daemon side. The canonical example
would be the 'upload' action failing immediately if no filesystem
is mounted.
What's supposed to happen is this:
(1) library sends
request message (2) daemon processes request
first chunk of data and sees that it will fail,
sends cancellation
(3) discards chunks of data
(4) library sees daemon
cancellation and stops
sending chunks
It was going wrong in step (1), in guestfs___send_to_daemon.
In some (timing related) circumstances, send_to_daemon could
receive the cancellation before sending the first chunk, at
which point it would exit, *discarding the first chunk*.
This causes the daemon to fail in step (3) since it reads the
next request as if it was a chunk, thus losing synchronization.
(The protocol specifies that you always have to send at least
one chunk if there is a FileIn or FileOut parameter).
The patch changes guestfs___send_to_daemon so that if it detects
cancellation, it sends the remaining data in its output buffer
instead of discarding it. (This also fixes another edge case
to do with sending partial data although I don't think we
ever saw that in practice).

It turns out that Java assertions are disabled by default. You have
to add the 'java -ea' flag to the JVM. Who knew ..?
Because of this oversight, the tests weren't actually performing the
assertions that we wanted (although in fact none of the assertions
were failing).
This change enables assertions when running the tests.

Add guestfs_add_domain 'live' flag.
This optional flag controls whether this API call will try to connect
to a running virtual machine 'guestfsd' process.
If the flag is given and the virtual machine is running, then the
libvirt XML is parsed looking for a suitable <channel> element, and
'guestfs_set_attach_method' is called with the corresponding
virtio-serial socket path.

lib: Implement attach-method unix:<path>
Allow connections to a Unix domain socket which is connected
(via virtio-serial) to a guestfsd running free in an existing
guest.
In order to use this you have to add the following element
to the libvirt XML:
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/tmp/socket'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/>
</channel>
(or perform the equivalent on the qemu command line).
Then in guestfish, you can do:
guestfish \
attach-method unix:/tmp/socket : \
run : \
ll /
(or any other commands as desired).

daemon: Parse /proc/mounts instead of /etc/mtab
Since Fedora util-linux 2.19, the %post script does:
rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
We are no longer running %post scripts, so this means that /etc/mtab
is a plain file in the appliance. Usual 'mount' still updates it, but
for some reason mount.ntfs does *not* update it in Fedora 15, meaning
that you couldn't mount and then operate on NTFS partitions.
It seems better to always parse /proc/mounts (ie. what the kernel
thinks is mounted) unconditionally, rather than relying on the
capriciousness of the external mount command.
Therefore, parse /proc/mounts instead of /etc/mtab, but add a note
saying that in future we should really be parsing
/proc/self/mountinfo, but that needs a custom parser, and the format
is rather tricky:
