* proto: Fix both-ends-cancel case.Richard W.M. Jones2011-03-211-3/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Cherry picked and rebased from commit f4d996fd26762053d68f46de5790aae893f03d38.
* proto: Don't drop outgoing message when daemon cancels (RHBZ#576879).Richard Jones2011-03-211-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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). (cherry picked from commit c7368ce167d6dbfd3e69ba208301c5af3f17a8a1)
* generator: Code to handle optional arguments in daemon functions.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-021-2/+3
| | | | | | | | Previously we only supported optional arguments for library functions (commit 14490c3e1aac61c6ac90f28828896683f64f0dc9). This extends that work so that optional arguments can also be passed through to the daemon.
* protocol: Handle progress notification messages during FileIn.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-011-3/+30
| | | | | | | If the daemon sends progress notification messages while we are uploading FileIn parameters, these are received in check_for_daemon_cancellation_or_eof. Modify this library function so that it turns these messages into callbacks.
* protocol: Really read 4 bytes while checking for cancellation.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-011-10/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | We've not actually hit this bug in practice, but at least in theory while checking for cancellation we could read > 0 but fewer than 4 bytes, which would effectively be discarded and we would lose synchronization. Note the socket is non-blocking. Change the code so that we temporarily set the socket back to blocking and force the read of all 4 bytes.
* protocol: Send progress_hint in header.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-011-2/+3
| | | | | | For actions that have FileIn arguments, count the size of all the input files and send that in the progress_hint field of the request header.
* protocol: Upload progress messages and optional arguments.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Two unrelated changes to the protocol to support progress messages during uploads, and optional arguments. Note that this makes an incompatible change to the protocol, and this is reflected in the protocol version field (3 -> 4).
* Implement progress messages in the daemon and library.Richard Jones2010-08-311-3/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. For more details, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-July/msg00003.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-July/msg00024.html
* Rename internal functions.Richard Jones2010-07-281-7/+7
| | | | | | | This is an update to commit 41f25ab3df5f306ac717fa7a6efd58328d30c1ae. Internal functions should be named guestfs___* (3 underscores) to avoid clashing with the implementation of actions (2 underscores).
* Rearrange library code into separate files.Richard Jones2010-07-271-0/+987
We split the library code into these separate files: - guestfs.c: creating handles, closing handles, handle-related variables - actions.c: generated library-side stubs for each action - bindtests.c: generated code to test bindings - launch.c: launching the appliance - proto.c: the library side of the daemon communications protocol This is just code movement.
