Implement progress messages in the daemon and library.

This implements progress notification messages in the daemon, and
adds a callback in the library to handle them.

No calls are changed so far, so in fact no progress messages can
be generated by this commit.

build: Don't add version extra string to the version number.

If this string was non-empty, then it broke a lot of things because
autoconf and other parts of the build system were expecting this
string to contain a simple MAJOR.MINOR.RELEASE version number.

guestfs_version API to fetch the version from the library.  (The
Perl tools were already doing it this way).  In a way this is more
accurate, because it's no longer hard-coded in the binary, but
fetched from the dynamically linked libguestfs.so.

Ignore launch() error in virt-rescue. (RHBZ#618556)

launch() expects guestfsd to start, which it never does in virt-rescue, so it
always returns an error about the appliance shutting down unexpectedly.

14 years agoShut down the appliance cleanly
Matthew Booth [Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:34:44 +0000 (14:34 +0100)]
Shut down the appliance cleanly

When guestfsd exits, or the user exits the virt-rescue shell, the init script
exits which causes the kernel to panic. This isn't really a functional issue, as
all useful work is done by this point. However, it does cause virt-rescue to
display an unsightly error message.

This patch causes the appliance to power off cleanly before the init script
exits. Note it actually does a reboot rather than a poweroff. This is because
ACPI is disabled in the appliance, meaning poweroff doesn't work, but qemu is
configured not to restart on reboot.

Call sync after guestfsd exits

Core files are not reliably written to disk if guestfsd dumps core. This patch
makes libguestfs do the same appliance cleanup for guestfsd and virt-rescue,
which seems to fix the matter.

It also removes a redundant sleep and additional sync when exiting virt-rescue.
