virt-sparsify doesn't work if the output is a block device, and cannot
possibly work if the output is a char device. Currently if you try
this it actually overwrites (deletes) the output device which is not
exactly desirable. Therefore throw an error and exit.
The latter function is only available in OCaml >= 4.00 whereas
Filename.temp_dir_name has been around since OCaml 3.09.1. In this
case it doesn't make any difference which one we use.

virt-resize: error: you cannot use the same disk image for input and
output
If reporting bugs, run virt-resize with the '-d' option and include the
complete output.
Note (a) it assumes the program is called "virt-resize" which it
isn't, and (b) it assumes the program has a debug option -d which it
doesn't.
This commit changes the error message and adds a -v option to
virt-resize.
We have to include the right header so that guestfs___free_string_list
is declared. Unfortunately that means ensuring -I src is passed to
the compiler in every tool subdirectory.
Also fix (bogus) compiler warning about incorrect type of the
parameter to caml_copy_string_array.
Test whether qcow2 features are possible in qemu-img instead of
assuming they are by keying off the version.
Also use the 'lazy_refcounts' flag, if available. It may make writing
to the overlay file marginally faster (however I tested it and there
was no measurable difference).
If you don't have a ^C (SIGINT) signal handler at all, then at_exit
handlers are not called so you end up leaving the large temporary
overlay file lying around. That was fixed, incorrectly, by
commit 7283a5a276.
However the code now would delete the overlay file in the SIGINT
handler but otherwise continue running until basically it tries to
read the overlay file (now deleted) and fails. So it kind of worked,
by accident.
Fix this so that the signal handler calls exit, thus ensuring both
that the exit handler is called (to delete the file) and that the
program actually exits as soon as possible.
This also refactors the unlink_on_exit function into a utility.
Review every test(!) to ensure that it:
- Doesn't use a generic name (eg. "test1.img", "test.out") for any
temporary file it needs.
- Does instead use a unique name or a temporary name (eg. a name like
"name-of-the-test.img", or a scratch disk).
- Does not use 'rm -f' to clean up its temporary files (so we can
detect errors if the wrong temporary file is created or removed).
This allows tests to be run in parallel, so they don't stomp on each
other's temporary files.
This file is mainly a central place to:
- include localenv if it exists, and
- define the RHEL 5 backwards compatibility macros, instead of
spreading them over every other file.
This API is an easier to use version of the existing guestfs_available,
because the new API returns true/false instead of throwing an error
when a feature from the list is not available.
In truth we've had this implementation internally in the library
and several tools and in Sys::Guestfs::Lib for a long time. This
change just turns it into a publicly consumable API.
In particular, building virt-sysprep is slow because there are so many
modules. Enable parallel builds. If it breaks, we should fix it, not
work around it.
For example:
$ guestfish --long-options
--add
--cmd-help
--connect
--csh
--domain
--echo-keys
[etc.]
The idea of this is to make it easier to write a bash completion
script that accurately expands --<TAB> options for each command.
These configure flags enable code profiling (with gprof) and code
coverage (with gcov) respectively.
Although this is a nice idea, it's not currently very useful.
Libtool mangles filenames in such a way that gcov cannot locate its
datafiles.
Profiling is of dubious utility with libguestfs which is not CPU-bound
and relies extensively on running external programs (oprofile-like
system profiling that took into account libguestfs + qemu or
libguestfs + qemu + the appliance + filesystem tools *would* be
useful).
Also neither flag will help in capturing data from the appliance.
'make extra-tests' was a monolithic set of tests that did all sorts of
things: valgrind, tests over local guests, tests with upstream qemu,
tests with upstream libvirt, tests with the appliance attach method.
This made it hard to perform individual tests, eg. just valgrind
testing. It was also hard to maintain because the tests were not
located in the same directories as the programs and sometimes
duplicated tests that were run elsewhere.
This commit splits up 'make extra-tests' into 5 separate targets:
make check-valgrind # run a subset of tests under valgrind
make check-valgrind-local-guests # test under valgrind with local guests
make check-with-appliance # test with attach-method == appliance
make check-with-upstream-qemu # test with an alternate/upstream qemu
make check-with-upstream-libvirt # test with an alternate/upstream libvirt
(You can also still run 'make extra-tests' which is now simply
a rule that runs the above 5 targets in order).
This replaces everything that was in the tests/extra directory,
so that has now gone.
The code was identical -- just copied with s/resize/sparsify/.
Instead of duplicating identical code, cause the Makefile.am to use
the code from the ../resize/ directory.
Unfortunately because there are two Utils modules (which are
different), this means we had to rename those modules to Resize_utils
and Sparsify_utils respectively. So this is a rather larger change
than intended. However it's just code motion.
This adds standard LICENSE and BUGS sections to all of the man pages
that are processed by podwrapper.
Modify all the calls to $(PODWRAPPER) to add the right --license
parameter according to the content. Note that this relaxes the
license on some code example pages, making them effectively BSD-style
licensed.

Ensure each man page contains consistent COPYRIGHT and AUTHOR
sections.
Remove the LICENSE section. We will add that back in podwrapper in a
later commit.
Since our minimum supported version is now 1.16 and mount was fixed in
1.13.16, it is now safe to replace mount-options + empty options with
mount wherever it occurs.
qcow2 v3 is generally more efficient, although unfortunately it
doesn't support automatically sparsifying zero writes.
Note this *only* uses qcow2 v3 for the intermediate overlay file, not
for the final output (since we want the output to be broadly
compatible with old hypervisors).
By using the once_had_no_optargs flag, this change is backwards
compatible for callers (except Haskell, PHP and GObject as discussed
in earlier commit).
The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:
if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
/* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
}
guestfs_close (g);
Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors. Read the documentation for further information.
This change also:
- deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess
- turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown
- changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
where necessary (not for read-only tools)
- updates documentation
- updates examples
MALLOC_PERTURB_ is a glibc feature which causes malloc to wipe memory
before and after it is used, allowing both use-after-free and
uninitialized reads to be detected with relatively little performance
penalty:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/11429.html?nojs=1
Modify the ./run script so that it always sets this.
We were already using MALLOC_PERTURB_ in most tests. Since ./run is
now setting this, we can remove it from individual Makefiles. Most
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT will now simply look like this:
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = $(top_builddir)/run --test
This option, when added via
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = [...] $(top_builddir)/run --test
allows us to run the tests and only print the full output (including
debugging etc) when the test fails.
RHEL 5-era autoconf did not define these, so define them manually
when they are missing.
Define builddir as '.' The scripts require this. It won't work
in the srcdir != builddir case, but we don't care about that for
RHEL 5.
This commit also moves the builddir / abs_srcdir variable setting
above the include of subdir-rules.mk, in case that include uses
these variables.
Useful script:
for f in $(find -name Makefile.am | xargs fgrep '$(abs_srcdir)' -l) ; do
if ! grep -q '^abs_srcdir' $f; then
echo missing in $f
fi
done
