NUL-termination of the .ifr_name field is not required, but is fine (and preferable to using strncpy and leaving the reader to wonder), since the first thing the linux kernel does is to clear the last byte. Besides, using pstrcpy here makes this setting of ifr_name consistent with the other code (e.g., net/tap-linux.c) that does the same thing.

FITRIM is a mounted filesystem feature to discard (or "trim") blocks which are not in use by the filesystem. This is useful for solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.

Currently we re-read/re-process /etc/mtab to get an updated list of mounts when guest-fsfreeze-thaw is called.

Commit 3674838cd05268954bb6473239cd7f700a79bf0f uses the environ global variable, but is relying on environ to be declared somewhere else.

2012-05-15qemu-ga: guest-shutdown: use only async-signal-safe functionsLuiz Capitulino
POSIX mandates[1] that a child process of a multi-thread program uses only async-signal-safe functions before exec(). We consider qemu-ga to be multi-thread, because it uses glib. However, qmp_guest_shutdown() uses functions that are not async-signal-safe. Fix it the following way: - fclose() -> reopen_fd_to_null() - execl() -> execle() - exit() -> _exit() - drop slog() usage (which is not safe) [1] http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fork.html Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-05-15qemu-ga: guest-shutdown: become synchronousLuiz Capitulino
Last commit dropped qemu-ga's SIGCHLD handler, used to automatically reap terminated children processes. This introduced a bug to qmp_guest_shutdown(): it will generate zombies. This problem probably doesn't matter in the success case, as the VM will shutdown anyway, but let's do the right thing and reap the created process. This ultimately means that guest-shutdown is now a synchronous command. An interesting side effect is that guest-shutdown is now able to report an error to the client if shutting down fails.

2012-05-15qemu-ga: guest-suspend: make the API synchronousLuiz Capitulino
Currently, qemu-ga has a SIGCHLD handler that automatically reaps terminated children processes. The idea is to avoid having qemu-ga commands blocked waiting for children to terminate. That approach has two problems: 1. qemu-ga is unable to detect errors in the child, meaning that qemu-ga returns success even if the child fails to perform its task 2. if a command does depend on the child exit status, the command has to play tricks to bypass the automatic reaper Case 2 impacts the guest-suspend-* API, because it has to execute an external program to check for suspend support. Today, to bypass the automatic reaper, suspend code has to double fork and pass exit status information through a pipe. Besides being complex, this is prone to race condition bugs. Indeed, the current code does have such bugs. Making the guest-suspend-* API synchronous (ie. by dropping the SIGCHLD handler and calling waitpid() from commands) is a much simpler approach, which fixes current race conditions bugs and enables commands to detect errors in the child. This commit does just that. There's a side effect though, guest-shutdown will generate zombies if shutting down fails. This will be fixed by the next commit.

2012-04-30qemu-ga: improve recovery options for fsfreezeMichael Roth
guest-fsfreeze-thaw relies on state information obtained from guest-fsfreeze-freeze to determine what filesystems to unfreeze. This is unreliable due to the fact that that state does not account for FIFREEZE being issued by other processes, or previous instances of qemu-ga. This means in certain situations we cannot thaw filesystems even with a responsive qemu-ga instance at our disposal. This patch allows guest-fsfreeze-thaw to be issued unconditionally. It also adds some additional logic to allow us to thaw filesystems regardless of how many times the filesystem's "frozen" refcount has been incremented by any guest processes. Also, guest-fsfreeze-freeze now operates atomically: on success all freezable filesystems are frozen, and on error all filesystems are thawed. The ambiguous "GUEST_FSFREEZE_STATUS_ERROR" state is no longer entered. Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-03-12qemu-ga: add guest-sync-delimitedMichael Roth
guest-sync leaves it as an exercise to the user as to how to reliably obtain the response to guest-sync if the client had previously read in a partial response (due qemu-ga previously being restarted mid-"sentence" due to reboot, forced restart, etc). qemu-ga handles this situation on its end by having a client precede their guest-sync request with a 0xFF byte (invalid UTF-8), which qemu-ga/QEMU JSON parsers will treat as a flush event. Thus we can reliably flush the qemu-ga parser state in preparation for receiving the guest-sync request. guest-sync-delimited provides the same functionality for a client: when a guest-sync-delimited is issued, qemu-ga will precede it's response with a 0xFF byte that the client can use as an indicator to flush its buffer/parser state in preparation for reliably receiving the guest-sync-delimited response. It is also useful as an optimization for clients, since, after issuing a guest-sync-delimited, clients can safely discard all stale data read from the channel until the 0xFF is found.

2012-03-12qemu-ga: add guest-suspend-diskLuiz Capitulino
As the command name implies, this command suspends the guest to disk. The suspend operation is implemented by two functions: bios_supports_mode() and guest_suspend(). Both functions are generic enough to be used by other suspend modes (introduced by next commits). Both functions will try to use the scripts provided by the pm-utils package if it's available. If it's not available, a manual method, which consists of directly writing to '/sys/power/state', will be used. To reap terminated children, a new signal handler is installed in the parent to catch SIGCHLD signals and a non-blocking call to waitpid() is done to collect their exit statuses. The statuses, however, are discarded. The approach used to query the guest for suspend support deserves some explanation. It's implemented by bios_supports_mode() and shown below: qemu-ga | create pipe | fork() ----------------- | | | | | fork() | -------------------------- | | | | | | | | exec('pm-is-supported') | | | wait() | write exit status to pipe | exit | read pipe This might look complex, but the resulting code is quite simple. The purpose of that approach is to allow qemu-ga to reap its children (semi-)automatically from its SIGCHLD handler. Implementing this the obvious way, that's, doing the exec() call from the first child process, would force us to introduce a more complex way to reap qemu-ga's children. Like registering PIDs to be reaped and having a way to wait for them when returning their exit status to qemu-ga is necessary. The approach explained above avoids that complexity.

2012-02-23qemu-ga: add initial win32 supportMichael Roth
This adds a win32 channel implementation that makes qemu-ga functional on Windows using virtio-serial (unix-listen/isa-serial not currently implemented). Unlike with the posix implementation, we do not use GIOChannel for the following reasons: - glib calls stat() on an fd to check whether S_IFCHR is set, which is the case for virtio-serial on win32. Because of that, a one-time check to determine whether the channel is readable is done by making a call to PeekConsoleInput(), which reports the underlying handle is not a valid console handle, and thus we can never read from the channel. - if one goes as far as to "trick" glib into thinking it is a normal file descripter, the buffering is done in such a way that data written to the output stream will subsequently result in that same data being read back as if it were input, causing an error loop. furthermore, a forced flush of the channel only moves the data into a secondary buffer managed by glib, so there's no way to prevent output from getting read back as input. The implementation here ties into the glib main loop by implementing a custom GSource that continually submits asynchronous/overlapped I/O to fill an GAChannel-managed read buffer, and tells glib to poll the corresponding event handle for a completion whenever there is no data/RPC in the read buffer to notify the main application about.

2012-02-23qemu-ga: rename guest-agent-commands.c -> commands-posix.cMichael Roth
2012-02-23qemu-ga: separate out common commands from posix-specific onesMichael Roth
Many of the current RPC implementations are very much POSIX-specific and require complete re-writes for Windows. There are however a small set of core guest agent commands that are common to both, and other commands such as guest-file-* which *may* be portable. So we introduce commands.c for the latter, and will rename guest-agent-commands.c to commands-posix.c in a future commit. Windows implementations will go in commands-win32.c, eventually.
2012-02-23qemu-ga: move channel/transport functionality into wrapper classMichael Roth
This is mostly in preparation for the win32 port, which won't use GIO channels for reasons that will be made clearer later. Here the GAChannel class is just a loose wrapper around GIOChannel calls/callbacks, but we also roll in the logic/configuration for various channel types and managing unix socket connections, which makes the abstraction much more complete and further aids in the win32 port since isa-serial/unix-listen will not be supported initially. There's also a bit of refactoring in the main logic to consolidate the exit paths so we can do common cleanup for things like pid files, which weren't always cleaned up previously.
