2018-04-09qemu-pr-helper: Write pidfile more oftenMichal Privoznik1-1/+5
Let's write pidfile even if user did not request --daemon but they requested just --pidfile. Libvirt will use exactly this. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2018-04-09qemu-pr-helper: Daemonize before dropping privilegesMichal Privoznik1-7/+7
After we've dropped privileges it might be not possible to write pidfile. For instance, if this binary is run as root (because user wants it to write pidfile to some privileged location) writing pidfile fails because privileges are dropped before we even get to that.

2018-03-26qemu-pr-helper: Actually allow users to specify pidfileMichal Privoznik1-3/+4
Due to wrong specification of arguments to getopt_long() any attempt to set pidfile resulted in: 1) the default to be leaked 2) the @pidfile variable to be set to NULL (because optarg is NULL without this patch).

2018-03-12Polish the version strings containing the package versionThomas Huth1-1/+1
Since commit 67a1de0d195a there is no space anymore between the version number and the parentheses when running configure with --with-pkgversion=foo : $ qemu-system-s390x --version QEMU emulator version 2.11.50(foo) But the space is included when building without that option when building from a git checkout: $ qemu-system-s390x --version QEMU emulator version 2.11.50 (v2.11.0-1494-gbec9c64-dirty) The same confusion exists with the "query-version" QMP command. Let's fix this by introducing a proper QEMU_FULL_VERSION definition that includes the space and parentheses, while the QEMU_PKGVERSION should just cleanly contain the package version string itself. Note that this also changes the behavior of the "query-version" QMP command (the space and parentheses are not included there anymore), but that's supposed to be OK since the strings there are not meant to be parsed by other tools.

1) Return a generic sense if TEST UNIT READY does not provide one; 2) Fix two mistakes in copying from the spec. Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org Reported-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2017-10-18qemu-pr-helper: use new libmultipath APIPaolo Bonzini1-3/+14
libmultipath has recently changed its API. The new API supports multi-threaded clients better. Unfortunately there is no backwards-compatibility, so we just switch to the new one. Running QEMU compiled with the new library on the old library will likely crash, while doing the opposite will cause QEMU not to start at all (because udev, get_multipath_config and put_multipath_config are undefined).

2017-09-22scsi: add multipath support to qemu-pr-helperPaolo Bonzini1-3/+343
Proper support of persistent reservation for multipath devices requires communication with the multipath daemon, so that the reservation is registered and applied when a path comes up. The device mapper utilities provide a library to do so; this patch makes qemu-pr-helper.c detect multipath devices and, when one is found, delegate the operation to libmpathpersist.

2017-09-22scsi: build qemu-pr-helperPaolo Bonzini1-0/+735
Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands. This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device. The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations with multipath devices. It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is supported. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
