* daemon: Don't use files with fixed names in /tmp (thanks Steve Kemp).Richard W.M. Jones2011-11-041-13/+26
| | | | | | 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 both-ends-cancel case.Richard W.M. Jones2011-03-181-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* proto: Fix FileIn ops that abort during the chunk upload stage.Richard W.M. Jones2011-03-181-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Use prog_exists to check for features.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-101-3/+2
| | | | This updates commit 0938509e0422363554023ab99381fd70a22a6e08.
* 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.
* generator: Make 'xz' into an optional group.Richard Jones2010-05-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | On Ubuntu <= Karmic, xz-utils was not packaged, and therefore any xz-related tests would fail. Thus make this an optional group so that we can test for this and avoid running the tests if xz utils are not present.
* Improve errors from tar-in/tgz-in commands (RHBZ#591155 RHBZ#591250).Richard Jones2010-05-131-6/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit improves the error messages from the tar-in, tgz-in (etc) commands by capturing the stderr from the tar command in a file and sending that back in the error message. The method used for the error file is primitive, and there is a case for a more generic error file mechanism, but this will do for now. Sample error messages after this change: $ virt-tar -u /tmp/test1.img /tmp/not.tar / tar_in: tar subcommand failed on directory: /: tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 247. $ virt-tar -u /tmp/test1.img /tmp/test.tar / tar_in: tar subcommand failed on directory: /: tar: access.log: Cannot open: Read-only file system tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 247.
* Combine common code in daemon/tar.c.Richard Jones2010-05-131-120/+20
| | | | | This commit shouldn't result in any change in the semantics of the code.
* Fix FileIn cmds losing synch if both ends send cancel messages (RHBZ#576879).Richard Jones2010-05-131-16/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Jones2010-04-171-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* New API calls to upload/download txz files (RHBZ#580556).Richard Jones2010-04-081-6/+34

* Code cleanups related to RHBZ#580246.Richard Jones2010-04-081-17/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This includes various code cleanups: (a) A regression test for RHBZ#580246. (b) Use write instead of fwrite to write out the tar file. This is just because the error handling of write seems to be better specified and easier to use. (c) Use size_t instead of int for length. (d) Clearer debug messages when in verbose mode.
* Fix tar-in command hangs when running out of disk space (RHBZ#580246).Richard Jones2010-04-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem was this sequence of events: (1) File transfer goes through OK. (2) pclose returns failure (because 'tar' subprocess failed) (3) We try to cancel the transfer by calling cancel_receive. Step (3) fails because the transfer (as far as the library is concerned) has succeeded, so causing a hang. The more fundamental reason why we see steps (1) and (2) is that 'tar' does NOT fail immediately if there is a write error. Instead it continues reading and discarding the input until the end of the input before giving "Error exit delayed from previous errors". IMHO this is a bug with tar, since an ENOSPC write error should be fatal for tar.
* daemon: Don't need to prefix error messages with the command name.Richard Jones2010-02-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:..)
* daemon: diagnose socket write failureJim Meyering2009-08-201-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | * daemon/proto.c (send_chunk): Don't ignore socket-write error. * daemon/proto.c (send_file_end): Return "int", not void, so we can propagate send_chunk failure to caller. * daemon/daemon.h (send_file_end): Update prototype. * daemon/tar.c (do_tar_out, do_tgz_out): Update uses of send_file_end. * daemon/upload.c (do_download): Likewise.
* generator.ml: use new "Pathname" designationJim Meyering2009-08-131-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Nearly every file-related function in daemons/*.c is affected: Remove this pair of statements from each affected do_* function: - NEED_ROOT (return -1); - ABS_PATH (dir, return -1); and change the type of the corresponding parameter to "const char *". * src/generator.ml: Emit NEED_ROOT just once, even when there are two or more Pathname args.
* update all NEED_ROOT usesJim Meyering2009-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | run this command: git grep -l -w NEED_ROOT|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/(NEED_ROOT) \((.*?)\)/$1 (return $2)/'
* update all uses of ABS_PATHJim Meyering2009-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | run this command: git grep -l -w ABS_PATH|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/(?:ABS_PATH)( \(.*?,) (.*?)\)/ABS_PATH$1 return $2)/'
* Replace shell_quote function with %Q and %R printf specifiers.Richard Jones2009-07-281-36/+24
| | | | | | | %Q => simple shell quoted string %R => path will be prefixed by /sysroot eg. snprintf (cmd, sizeof cmd, "cat %R", path); system (cmd);
* Make /sysroot path configurable.Richard Jones2009-07-181-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | Currently /sysroot is hard-coded throughout the daemon code. This patch turns the path into a variable so that we can change it in future, for example to allow standalone mode to be implemented. This patch was tested by running all the C API tests successfully.

* All instances of 'pclose' now check for return value != 0.Richard W.M. Jones2009-07-011-4/+4
| | | | | | We are generally interested that the subcommand ran without error, ie. had exit status of 0. 'pclose' returns the exit status, so we now check that pclose (fp) != 0.
