(cherry picked from commit 287f8957fea3efe411c7ac55595d5d6c7b613e4e
and modified to apply to the stable branch.  Note that the original
commit message contains a typo 'string-e' instead of 'strings-e')

launch: Rearrange the code so config check is first.

2010-05-14T16:23:44+00:00

Move the config state check first in the guestfs_launch function,
so that we don't reset g->launch_t or calculate the temporary
directory in the case where the launch function will immediately
return with an error.

If qemu dies during launch, set an error message (RHBZ#588851).

daemon: Fix read-file so it fails gracefully for large files (RHBZ#589039).

2010-05-14T16:06:06+00:00

Pengzhen Cao noticed that read-file would fail for files
larger than the protocol size; this is *not* the bug.  However
it would also lose protocol synchronization after this.

The reason was that functions which return RBufferOut in the
generator must not 'touch' the *size_r parameter along error
return paths.

I fixed read-file and initrd-cat, and I checked that pread was
doing the right thing.

This also adds regression tests for read-file with various categories
of large file.

Change network configuration to use macros.

2010-05-14T15:59:45+00:00

Change the network configuration so everything is set using
some macros at the top of src/guestfs.c.

Also, rename the macros used in the daemon so they are not the
same.  It was a very long time since these sets of macros had to
match the ones defined in src/guestfs.c, despite what the comment
said.

Note that this commit should not change the semantics of the
program at all.

tests: In verbose mode, print dashes between each test.

2010-05-14T15:57:55+00:00

Only affects tests when run with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1.  Lets you easily
see when each test starts and ends.

lvresize: Use --force so it can make LVs smaller (RHBZ#587484).

2010-04-30T16:38:11+00:00

This also adds a regression test for this bug.
