[libvirt] [PATCHv3 04/36] storage: Determine the local storage type right away

When walking the backing chain we previously set the storage type to _FILE and let the virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFDInternal update it to the correct type later on. This patch moves the actual storage type determination to the place where we parse the backing store name so that the code can later be switched to use virStorageFileReadHeader() directly. --- Notes: Version 3: - ACKed by Eric src/storage/storage_driver.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_driver.c b/src/storage/storage_driver.c index 59f6fa8..f92a553 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_driver.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_driver.c @@ -3111,6 +3111,7 @@ virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse(virStorageSourcePtr src, { int fd; int ret = -1; + struct stat st; virStorageSourcePtr backingStore = NULL; int backingFormat; @@ -3173,6 +3174,16 @@ virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse(virStorageSourcePtr src, ret = 0; goto cleanup; } + + /* update the type for local storage */ + if (stat(backingStore->path, &st) == 0) { + if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) { + backingStore->type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_DIR; + backingStore->format = VIR_STORAGE_FILE_DIR; + } else if (S_ISBLK(st.st_mode)) { + backingStore->type = VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_BLOCK; + } + } } else { /* TODO: To satisfy the test case, copy the network URI as path.
