3:20 p.m.
Rework of unpushed patches from series:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-April/msg00050.html
Details:
Patch 1 - Split out the non /dev/* checks into their own to start
satisfying Jan's comment in his review of the former patch 3:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-April/msg00100.html
Patch 2 - New - Flip the logic from assume success, change status to failure,
and return to assume failure and only have success when everything
completes successfully
Patch 3 - Adjustments for previous patch 3 to make use of patch 1's split
of the checking for using the /dev path. If we find that the
/dev/* is not in use for the pool, then force an error earlier.
This makes the check later on not need to compare the returned
path to the generated 'devpath' to compensate for the logic in
virStorageBackendStablePath which will strdup the incoming target
path if something goes wrong in looking up the directory. Since
both paths will use the new virStorageBackendPoolUseDevPath
slightly differently, if devpath is the same as vol->target.path,
then we know it's not because the pool target path was to blame.
Patch 4 - Is the former patch 5, but now since patch 3 returns a failure
in virStorageBackendSCSINewLun for that bad path, we can use it
to be the error arbiter and bug fixer.
Former patch 6 - no longer necessary, although it would circumvent any of
the above patches being necessary to solve the bug...

'UseDevPath' confuses me. How about 'PoolPathIsStable' (or
PoolPathCanBeStable, since we only check if it starts with dev).
Moreover, this takes the pool as an argument, but only looks at the
path. It should either look at the pool type and deal with logical pools
as well, or just take a string as an argument.

Weird - usually my verbosity gets flagged as being too much, but not
like me to have no commit message...
In any case, adjusted commit message and pushed. Working through other
comments and will post a v4 later today.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v3 3/4] scsi: Adjust return value for virStorageBackendSCSINewLun
Use virStorageBackendPoolUseDevPath API to determine whether creation of
stable target path is possible for the volume. If not, then return failure.
This will differentiate a failed virStorageBackendStablePath which won't
need to be fatal. Thus, we'll add a -2 return value to differentiate that
the failure was a result of either the inability to find the symlink for
the device or failure to open the target path directory

Not quite sure I see the issue - can you be more specific? Am I missing
something obvious?
Previously if "pool->def->target.path" is "/dev" (or NULL or
"/dev/" or
didn't start with "/dev"), then we'd return a strdup'd
'devpath' into
'vol->target.path'.
I see no way 'devpath' could be '/dev' or '/dev/' since it is
formatted as :
if (virAsprintf(&devpath, "/dev/%s", dev) < 0)
goto cleanup;
where 'dev' is an argument to this function as found by processLU and
cannot be NULL from a call:
if (getBlockDevice(host, bus, target, lun, &block_device) < 0) {
VIR_DEBUG("Failed to find block device for this LUN");
goto out;
which fills 'block_device' from either getNewStyleBlockDevice or
getOldStyleBlockDevice.

I see no way 'devpath' could be '/dev' or '/dev/' since it is

That's the path to the device. The comment above is right about checking
the pool target path in the pool definition.
After this patch, if pool->def->target.path is "/dev", we wouldn't
even
get to the virStorageBackendStablePath call, because of the check in
virStorageBackendPoolUseDevPath - it will return false, we'll jump to
cleanup and skip over this volume.

where 'dev' is an argument to this function as found by processLU and
cannot be NULL from a call:
if (getBlockDevice(host, bus, target, lun, &block_device) < 0) {
VIR_DEBUG("Failed to find block device for this LUN");
goto out;
which fills 'block_device' from either getNewStyleBlockDevice or
getOldStyleBlockDevice.

even
get to the virStorageBackendStablePath call, because of the check in
virStorageBackendPoolUseDevPath - it will return false, we'll jump to
cleanup and skip over this volume.
Hmmm.. maybe I need to think outloud... Assume I change the check to:
if (!virStorageBackendPoolPathIsStable(pool->def->target.path) &&
!(STREQ(pool->def->target.path, "/dev") ||
STREQ(pool->def->target.path, "/dev/"))) {
So, if pool->def->target.path is "/dev", then we'll alloc vol,
formulate
'devpath', then call virStorageBackendStablePath. Then
virStorageBackendPoolPathIsStable is called which returns false because
the pool->def->target.path is "/dev".
That causes us to strdup the incoming "/devpath" and return. Upon
return we'd end up returning -2 to the caller.
So, is this the path you were considering? If not, then please describe
in detail.
As it turns out setting pool->def->target.path to "/dev" or
"/dev/"
doesn't cause us to follow down the path of the virReadDir (could take a
while if it did).
Help turn the lightbulb on!

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v3 4/4] scsi: Adjust return values from processLU
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171933
Adjust the processLU error returns to be a bit more logical. Currently,
the calling code cannot determine the difference between a non disk/lun
volume and a processed/found disk/lun. It can also not differentiate
between perhaps real/fatal error and one that won't necessarily stop
the code from finding other volumes.
After this patch virStorageBackendSCSIFindLUsInternal will stop processing
as soon as a "fatal" message occurs rather than continuting processing
for no apparent reason. It will also only set the *found value when
at least one of the processLU's was successful.
With the failed return, if the reason for the stop was that the pool
target path did not exist, was /dev, was /dev/, or did not start with
/dev, then iSCSI pool startup and refresh will fail.

Maybe 1 = found, 0 = not found, but no error?
We can choose whatever numbers we want as long as
virStorageBackendSCSIFindLUsInternal actually uses them.
I think we've been using -2 in some places lately as kind a non-fatal
"marker" of sorts and -1 as a fatal error.
I see no reason to change it here.
> + * -1 => Some sort of fatal error
> + * -2 => A "non-fatal" error such as a non disk/lun entry or an entry
Why the quotes?
Why not? I'm fine with your phraseology below and will use it.
Also, non-disk/cdrom isn't an error.
If we return -2 for that case as well, I'd phrase this as:
non-fatal error or a non-disk entry.

Shouldn't this be fatal?
I suppose the VIR_DEBUG threw me off, but if that fails, then
"block_device" isn't generated for some real reason (memory, opendir
fail, ReadDir fail, strrchr fail) - probably not something we want to
continue from.

virDirRead will return -1 on error which is what we want to return to
the caller.
I see no reason to change as we'd only then have to assign retval to
whatever value we invent - yet another thing to check.

The int func(bool *found) signature is a bit strange,
why not just return 1 on found?
Certainly not the first function to use bool *found. When added it was
done to avoid adjusting all the callers - it was a specific purpose.
I see 'found' is used by virStoragePoolFCRefreshThread,
but there is no error checking there.
That code needs a way to attempt to populate a pool for a fc_host
because it takes "time" for the device tree to be populated after a
createPort. Rather than have start/restart "pause" - the thread was
added (there was a bz)
But we'd need yet another return code with the meaning of EAGAIN for
that, which is not probably worth it as the whole function is void.
If this processing needs to change, then perhaps it's best to add a
patch before this just adjusts the return values. If that's what you
want let me know.

I see no reason to change as we'd only then have to assign retval to

Using separate variables for the return value of the current function
and the return value of called functions makes the flow easier to
follow. IIRC we've had some bugs caused by a leftover returned value
from an earlier function call.

I don't think it's worth the effort - especially since we ignore
the failure anyway.
