* Clarify the error message when unavailable functions are called (RHBZ#679737).Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-011-31/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Callers are supposed to use the availability API to check for functions that may not be available in particular builds of libguestfs. If they don't do this, currently they tend to get obscure error messages, eg: libguestfs: error: zerofree: /dev/vda1: zerofree: No such file or directory This commit changes the error message to explain what callers ought to be doing instead: libguestfs: error: zerofree: feature 'zerofree' is not available in this build of libguestfs. Read 'AVAILABILITY' in the guestfs(3) man page for how to check for the availability of features. This patch makes the stubs check for availability. The stub code changes to: static void zerofree_stub (XDR *xdr_in) { [...] /* The caller should have checked before calling this. */ if (! optgroup_zerofree_available ()) { reply_with_error ("feature '%s' is not available in this\n" "build of libguestfs. Read 'AVAILABILITY' in the guestfs(3) man page for\n" "how to check for the availability of features.", "zerofree"); goto done; } [...]

* daemon: Don't use files with fixed names in /tmp (thanks Steve Kemp).Richard W.M. Jones2011-11-041-7/+20
| | | | | | Although this doesn't matter for the ordinary (appliance) case, it matters for the libguestfs live case. In that case it could cause the guest to be exploited by a tmp/symlink attack.

* proto: Fix FileIn ops that abort during the chunk upload stage.Richard W.M. Jones2011-03-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* daemon: Don't use ../src path to include generator_protocol.hRichard W.M. Jones2010-11-031-1/+1
| | | | | This file is already hard-linked into the current directory, so the relative path is not required.
* Fix FileIn cmds losing synch if both ends send cancel messages (RHBZ#576879).Richard Jones2010-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During a FileIn command (eg. upload, tar-in) if both sides experience errors, then both sides could send cancel messages, the result being lost synchronization. The reason for the lost synch was because the daemon was ignoring this case and sending an error message back which the library side (which had cancelled) was not expecting. Fix this by checking in the daemon for the case where the library also cancels during daemon cancellation, and not sending an error messages. This also includes an enhanced regression test which checks for this case. This extends the original fix in commit 5922d7084d6b43f0a1a15b664c7082dfeaf584d0. More details can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=576879#c5
* Fix upload losing synchronization if root not mounted (RHBZ#576879).Richard Jones2010-04-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the generator so that it can correctly handle early cancellation for Pathname|Device|.. parameters. This fixes the upload command, but consequently we need to fix the parameters for tar_in and t?z_in commands. This should also mean that 'win:' can now be used as the second argument of tar_in and t?z_in commands in guestfish, whereas previously this wouldn't have worked. Adds a regression test for the original problem.
* daemon: Don't need to prefix error messages with the command name.Richard Jones2010-02-121-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RPC stubs already prefix the command name to error messages. The daemon doesn't have to do this. As a (small) benefit this also makes the daemon slightly smaller. Code in the daemon such as: if (argv[0] == NULL) { reply_with_error ("passed an empty list"); return NULL; } now results in error messages like this: ><fs> command "" libguestfs: error: command: passed an empty list (whereas previously you would have seen ..command: command:..)
* availability: Add optional groups and implement guestfs_available call.Richard Jones2009-11-201-12/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current groups are defined very conservatively using the following criteria: (a) Would be impossible to implement on Windows because of sheer architectural differences (eg: mknod). (b) Already optional (augeas, inotify). (c) Not currently optional but not implemented on older RHEL and Debian releases (ntfs-3g.probe, scrub, zerofree). The optional groups I've defined according to these criteria are: . augeas . inotify . linuxfsuuid . linuxmodules . linuxxattrs . lvm2 . mknod . ntfs3g . scrub . selinux . zerofree (Note that these choices don't prevent us from adding more optional groups in future. On the other hand to avoid breaking ABIs we would not wish to change the above groups). The rest of this large commit is really just implementation: Each optional function is classified using Optional "group" flag in the generator. The daemon has to implement a function int optgroup_<name>_available (void); for each optional group. Some of these functions are fixed at compile time, and some do simple run-time tests. The do_available implementation in the daemon looks up the correct function in a table and runs it. We document the optional groups in the guestfs(3) man page. Also: I added a NOT_AVAILABLE macro in order to unify all the existing places where we had a message equivalent to "function __func__ is not available".
* daemon/Win32: make some functions and fields optional.Richard Jones2009-11-201-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | inotify: Make this optional on platforms that don't have this interface. mknod, mkfifo etc.: Make these optional on non-Unix platforms. readdir: If d_type field is missing on the platform, set the corresponding field to 'u'. stat: st_blocks and st_blksize are missing on non-Unix platforms, so set these fields to -1 in the corresponding structures.

* build: avoid warnings in daemon/inotify.cJim Meyering2009-08-101-3/+4
| | | | | | | | Avoid "comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions" warnings. If it's at all hard or risky to avoid this type of warning, then it's not worthwhile. Here, it's easy and safe. * daemon/inotify.c (inotify_posn): Declare local to be of unsigned type. (do_inotify_read, do_inotify_files): Likewise.
