[PATCH] xl: Perform minimal validation of virtual disk file while parsing config file

[PATCH] xl: Perform minimal validation of virtual disk file while parsing config file

[Kamala Narasimhan]

This patch performs some very basic validation on the virtual disk
file passed through the config file.  This validation ensures that we
don't go too far with the initialization like spawn qemu and more
while there could be some potentially fundamental issues.  Obviously,
there is a lot of room for improvement in the kind of validations we
could do but the below is a minimal first stab at it.  Please consider
this for inclusion or feel free to tweak it as necessary.

I wonder if the validation function should be part of libxl?

We are better off performing these checks early on as they are very
basic.  Getting far enough to spawn qemu and getting to its block
device initialization code and failing there is a bit of a chase when
it comes to troubleshooting these issues, the cause of which are
rather trivial.  That said, in the long run we might want to move
these validations to upstream qemu as qemu also must perform these
checks especially when run without an accelerator (as there wouldn't
be a toolstack to perform these checks for it in that case).  But,
till that is accomplished these checks need to be somewhere and libxl
seem like a reasonable place in my opinion.

I think Ians point is that your change affects the 'xl' binary and not
the libxl.so library.

Perhaps libxl_device_disk_add() and libxl_cdrom_insert() would be the
reasonable places to add this, replacing fprintf() calls with libxl
logging functions.

Apologies.  I inadvertently neglected Gianni's suggestion to switch to
logging from fprintf.

I prefer assert() for things caused by programmer error. But in this
case we could just let the dereference below catch it...

So this handles CD-ROM images too? See below...

In which case libxl_cdrom_insert() needs the same addition?

I also wonder about the motivation of the patch. To be honest, usually,
the best way to validate things like this is to go ahead and try to use
them and bail with an error at that time. Where do things bail out for
you and what problems does that cause? I also think that these checks
are maximal as well as minimal in that if we checked much further we
would be re-implementing code?

Ah, my mistake, libxl_cdrom_insert() is implemented in terms of
libxl_device_disk_add() so only one check is necessary.

I didn't think CD-ROM image would be of type PHYSTYPE_PHY.

Of course :) I had a bug in that code earlier with a space between
quotes (" ") and I simply pulled out the space and replaced a bug with
stupidity :)

I think you answered this in a follow up email.

We fail in a very non obvious way when an invalid image path or zero
sized image is passed.  Not only do we perform a whole load of
initialization but also end up wasting time troubleshooting otherwise
trivial issues.  We shouldn't go all the way to spawn qemu and get to
its block device initialization code and then fail in a way that is
not obvious!  Although, once we establish a good communication between
upstream qemu and xl, this validation should go into upstream qemu as
they too would need to perform this kind of validation when run
independently (i.e. without an accelerator in their terminology).

Hmm, yeah I can see how a zero length path could barf qemu command-line
parsing etc. It is also true that communication back and forth between
device model definitely needs improving. I think I agree with you about
the principle behind this patch.

I see your point.  You mean the case where you specific cd-rom image
type with no cd-rom image file?  is that even supported?  How would
you specify it in the config file?

Yes, quite.  I don't think this check should be here at all.

Yes, that code is a bit too close to Daily WTF for my liking.

Also, convention in libxl is for functions to return error values, not
booleans.  I think that validate_virtual_disk should return 0 or
ERROR_INVAL, and libxl_device_disk add should simply pass on the
return code.

I agree with this sentiment but currently the error handling is that
qemu-dm leaves a message in an obscure logfile.  We need to do
something better for 4.1 and writing new arrangments for plumbing
errors through is too late now.

For 4.2 we should revisit this and probably revert this patch and
replace it with something much better.

Ian.

I don't think we need this.  If the pointer is null dereferencing it
will crash cleanly in just a moment.

strlen still seems overkill.

It is not conventional to capitalise the names of syscalls (or other
case-sensitive identifiers) even in messages, so "stat".

Don't mess about with strerror yourself; use LIBXL__LOG_ERRNO.

Convention in libxl is to write
    if (rc)
        return rc;

See for example libxl__fill_dom0_memory_info, which has
    if (rc)
        goto out;

As opposed to file_name[0] == '\0' ?

I think strlen() is clearer about the meaning of the condition being
checked. Please let's not micro-optimise to this level.

Ian - I am afraid the validation in its current form is going to fail
for vhds with prefix 'tap:aio:vhd:' as I just found out.  I will send
a patch to fix that.  In the mean time, if there is a wiki/doc that
lists the different formats that can be passed through the disk
option, I can verify all of those so as not to introduce any further

With this patch applied I get an error using an LVM device via file://
(which is currently necessary on upstream dom0 support in order to
activate the qdisk support):
        # xl cr -c /etc/xen/debian-x86_32p-1
        Parsing config file /etc/xen/debian-x86_32p-1
        libxl: error: libxl.c:854:validate_virtual_disk Virtual disk /dev/VG/debian-x86_32-1 size is 0!
        
My disk stanza is
        # grep ^disk /etc/xen/debian-x86_32p-1
        disk = ['file:/dev/VG/debian-x86_32-1,xvda,w']

I think the issue is in this fragment:
    if ( disk_type == PHYSTYPE_PHY ) {
        if ( !(S_ISBLK(stat_buf.st_mode)) ) {
            LIBXL__LOG(ctx, LIBXL__LOG_ERROR, "Virtual disk %s is not a block device!\n",
                file_name);
            return ERROR_INVAL;
        }
    } else if ( stat_buf.st_size == 0 ) {
        LIBXL__LOG(ctx, LIBXL__LOG_ERROR, "Virtual disk %s size is 0!\n", file_name);
        return ERROR_INVAL;
    }
since stat(2) says that st_size is only valid for a regular file or
symbolic link (the latter being irrelevant in this case since we are
using stat() and not lstat()).

libxl: only check size of regular files when validating a virtual disk

Hrm.  I think the toolstack should really not depend on the user to
write "file:" some of the time and "phy:" the rest of the time
according to arcane rules.

But it's probably too late to fix this properly for 4.1.  In 4.2 xl
should parse "phy:" and "file:" to PHYSTYPE_PLAIN or something and
then libxl decide for itself what to do based on backend we are going
to use and whether the object is a block device.

So I have applied your patch, thanks.

Ian.

I think the original rationale for the need to do this was the lack of a
good way to tell if blkback is available on the current host. phy://
becomes blkback whereas file:// becomes blktap whose absence we detect
and fallback to qdisk.

I agree that we should try and do better for 4.2 though.

I am resending this with tweaks though I am not sure if you plan to accept it for 4.1.  Hopefully there is no word wrapping issues etc.

BTW, the below patch is for checking dependencies in xl.  I should have responded to "[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xl: Check for dependencies in xl" thread instead.  I already sent the disk validation patch.
