When qubesd returns an name of VM or other object, as part of another
call (reading a property, listing devices etc), it's safe to assume that
object exists. Do not try to list it, which could be prevented by qrexec
policy. This means a VM object would be returned (for example in
vm.netvm property), which potentially could not be listed through
app.domains collection. This may lead to some corner cases, but
generally should ease handling of restricted policy.
This does not affect practical information the management VM have access
too, as those names are already returned. It's just client side python
wrapper that didn't allowed to access them.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#5099
In core-admin matching collections are real dicts, so clone this API
behaviour here too. Specific changes:
- iteration yields keys, not values
- implement values and items methods
Additionally fix keys method, it was broken on python2 (list have no
copy method).
This allows to perform actions on objects (VM, storage etc), without
listing them. This is useful when calling VM have minimal permissions
and only selected actions are allowed.
This means that app.domains['some-name'] will not raise KeyError, even
when domain do not exists. But performing actual action (like
vm.start()) will fail in that case.
Add qubesd_call(..., payload_stream=...) argument to allow streaming
payload directly from some file/process stdout. This is mainly (only?)
useful for admin.vm.volume.Import, where disk volume raw data is passed
to the service.
