Convert create(), verify(), remove(), start(), stop(), revert(),
resize(), and import_volume() into coroutine methods, via a decorator
that runs them in the event loop's thread-based default executor.
This reduces UI hangs by unblocking the event loop, and can e.g. speed
up VM starts by starting multiple volumes in parallel.
Instead of raising a NotImplementedError, just return self like 'file'
and lvm_thin. This is needed when Storage.clone() is modified in another
commit* to no longer swallow exceptions.
* "storage: factor out _wait_and_reraise(); fix clone/create"
Import volume data to a new _path_import (instead of _path_dirty) before
committing to _path_clean. In case the computer crashes while an import
operation is running, the partially written file should not be attached
to Xen on the next volume startup.
Use <name>-import.img as the filename like 'file' does, to be compatible
with qubes.tests.api_admin/TC_00_VMs/test_510_vm_volume_import.
When the AT_REPLACE flag for linkat() finally lands in the Linux kernel,
_replace_file() can be modified to use unnamed (O_TMPFILE) tempfiles.
Until then, make sure stale tempfiles from previous crashes can't hang
around for too long.
It's sort of useful to be able to revert a volume that has only ever
been started once to its empty state. And the lvm_thin driver allows it
too, so why not.
System tests are fragile for any object leaks, especially those holding
open files. Instead of wrapping all tests with try/finally removing
those local variables (as done in qubes.tests.integ.backup for example),
apply generic solution: clean all traceback objects from local
variables. Those aren't used to generate text report by either test
runner (qubes.tests.run and nose2). If one wants to break into debugger
and inspect tracebacks interactively, needs to comment out call to
cleanup_traceback.

Needed for event-driven domains-tray UI updating and anti-GUI-DoS

Catches errors from event handlers to protect libvirt, and logs to
main qubesd logger singleton (by default meaning systemd journal).
Multiple properties are related to system installed inside the VM, so it
makes sense to have them the same for all the VMs based on the same
template. Modify default value getter to first try get the value from a
template (if any) and only if it fails, fallback to original default
value.
This change is made to those properties:
- default_user (it was already this way)
- kernel
- kernelopts
- maxmem
- memory
- qrexec_timeout
- vcpus
- virt_mode
This is especially useful for manually installed templates (like

Ignore all the above in qubespolicy/__init__.py, as the file will be
moved to separate repository (core-qrexec) - it already has a copy
there, don't desynchronize them.
Since (for LVM at least) path is dynamic now, add information about it
to volume info. This is not very useful outside of dom0, but in dom0 it
can be very useful for various scripts.
This will disclose current volume revision id, but it is already
possible to deduce it from snapshots list.
Do not write directly to main volume, instead create temporary volume
and only commit it to the main one when operation is finished. This
solve multiple problems:
- import operation can be aborted, without data loss
- importing new data over existing volume will not leave traces of
previous content - especially when importing smaller volume to bigger
one
- import operation can be reverted - it create separate revision,
similar to start/stop
- easier to prevent qube from starting during import operation
- template still can be used when importing new version
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
First rename volume to backup revision, regardless of revisions_to_keep,
then rename -snap to current volume. And only then remove backup
revision (if exceed revisions_to_keep). This way even if commit
operation is interrupted, there is still a volume with the data.
This requires also adjusting few functions to actually fallback to most
recent backup revision if the current volume isn't found - create
_vid_current property for this purpose.
Also, use -snap volume for clone operation and commit it normally later.
This makes it safer to interrupt or even revert.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
Fire 'domain-start-failed' even even if failure occurred during
'domain-pre-start' event. This will make sure if _anyone_ have seen
'domain-pre-start' event, will also see 'domain-start-failed'. In some
cases it will look like spurious 'domain-start-failed', but it is safer
option than the alternative.
Fail the VM start early if some persistently-assigned device is missing.
This will both save time and provide clearer error message.

Before waiting for remaining tasks on event loop (including libvirt
events), make sure all destroyed objects are really destroyed. This is
especially important for libvirt connections, which gets cleaned up only
when appropriate destructor (__del__) register a cleanup callback and it
gets called by the loop.
Use VM's actual IP address as a gateway for other VMs, instead of
hardcoded link-local address. This is important for sys-net generated
ICMP diagnostics packets - those must _not_ have link-local source
address, otherwise wouldn't be properly forwarded back to the right VM.
If domain die when trying to kill it, qubesd may loose a race and try to
kill it anyway. Handle libvirt exception in that case and conver it to
QubesVMNotStartedError - as it would be if qubesd would win the race.

It may happen that one pool is inside a volume of other pool. This is
the case for example for varlibqubes pool (file driver,
dir_path=/var/lib/qubes) and default lvm pool (lvm_thin driver). The
latter include whole root filesystem, so /var/lib/qubes too.
This is relevant for proper disk space calculation - to not count some
space twice.

After lot of testing it does not work properly. Could do something more

Using '$' is easy to misuse in shell scripts, shell commands etc. After
all this years, lets abandon this dangerous character and move to
something safer: '@'. The choice was made after reviewing specifications
of various shells on different operating systems and this is the
character that have no special meaning in none of them.
To preserve compatibility, automatically translate '$' to '@' when
loading policy files.
If revisions_to_keep is 0, it may nevertheless have been > 0 before, so
it makes sense to call _remove_revisions() and hold back none (not all)
of the revisions in this case.

This adds the file-reflink storage driver. It is never selected
automatically for pool creation, especially not the creation of
'varlibqubes' (though it can be used if set up manually).
The code is quite small:
reflink.py lvm.py file.py + block-snapshot
sloccount 334 lines 447 (134%) 570 (171%)
Background: btrfs and XFS (but not yet ZFS) support instant copies of
individual files through the 'FICLONE' ioctl behind 'cp --reflink'.
Which file-reflink uses to snapshot VM image files without an extra
device-mapper layer. All the snapshots are essentially freestanding;
there's no functional origin vs. snapshot distinction.
In contrast to 'file'-on-btrfs, file-reflink inherently avoids
CoW-on-CoW. Which is a bigger issue now on R4.0, where even AppVMs'
private volumes are CoW. (And turning off the lower, filesystem-level
CoW for 'file'-on-btrfs images would turn off data checksums too, i.e.
protection against bit rot.)
Also in contrast to 'file', all storage features are supported,
including
- any number of revisions_to_keep
- volume.revert()
- volume.is_outdated
- online fstrim/discard
Example tree of a file-reflink pool - *-dirty.img are connected to Xen:
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/volatile-dirty.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/root-dirty.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/root.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private-dirty.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img@2018-01-02T03:04:05Z
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img@2018-01-02T04:05:06Z
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/foo/private.img@2018-01-02T05:06:07Z
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/bar/...
- /var/lib/testpool/appvms/...
- /var/lib/testpool/template-vms/fedora-26/...
- /var/lib/testpool/template-vms/...
It looks similar to a 'file' pool tree, and in fact file-reflink is
drop-in compatible:
$ qvm-shutdown --all --wait
$ systemctl stop qubesd
$ sed 's/ driver="file"/ driver="file-reflink"/g' -i.bak /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml
$ systemctl start qubesd
$ sudo rm -f /path/to/pool/*/*/*-cow.img*
If the user tries to create a fresh file-reflink pool on a filesystem
that doesn't support reflinks, qvm-pool will abort and mention the
'setup_check=no' option. Which can be passed to force a fallback on
regular sparse copies, with of course lots of time/space overhead. The
same fallback code is also used when initially cloning a VM from a
foreign pool, or from another file-reflink pool on a different
mountpoint.
'journalctl -fu qubesd' will show all file-reflink copy/rename/remove
operations on VM creation/startup/shutdown/etc.
When some expiring rules are present, it is necessary to reload firewall
when those rules expire. Previously systemd timer was used to trigger
this action, but since we have own daemon now, it isn't necessary
anymore - use this daemon for that.
Additionally automatically removing expired rules was completely broken
in R4.0.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1173
Even when volume is not persistent (like TemplateBasedVM:root), it
should be resizeable. Just the new size, similarly to the volume
content, will be reverted after qube shutdown.
Additionally, when VM is running, volume resize should affect _only_ its
temporary snapshot. This way resize can be properly reverted together
with actual volume changes (which include resize2fs call).

1. Make sure VMs are started after dom0 actual memory usage is reported
to qmemman, otherwise dom0 will hold 4GB, even if just a little over 1GB
is needed at that time.
2. Request only vm.memory MB from qmemman, instead of vm.maxmem. While
HVM with PCI devices indeed do not support populate-on-demand, this is
already handled in libvirt XML.
The later may often cause VM startup fail on systems with 8GB of memory,
because maxmem is 4GB there and with dom0 keeping the other 4GB (see
point 1) there is not enough memory to start any sych VM.

Human readable format `str(datetime.datetime)` is a nightmare for Admin
API level communication. Especially setting the property in a format
that it was read was not supported, and handling such format in
untrusted input handling code is a bad idea. Revert to a simple intiger
format.
It looks like Linux balloon driver do not always precisely respect
requested target memory, but perform some rounding. Also, in some cases
(HVM domains), VM do not see all the memory that Xen have assigned to it
- there are some additional Xen pools for internal usage.
Include 16MB safety margin in memory requests to account for those two
things. This will avoid setting "no_response" flag for most of VMs.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3265
Clear slow_memset_react/no_progress flags when VM request more memory
than it have assigned. If there is some available, it may be given to
such VM, solving the original problem (not reacting to balloon down
request). In any case, qmemman algorithm should not try to take away
memory from under-provisioned VM.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3265
Add logging more info about each domain state:
- last requested target
- no_progress and slow_memset_react flags
This makes it unnecessary to log separately when those flags are cleared.
Rename events:
- domain-feature-set -> domain-feature-set:feature
- domain-feature-delete -> domain-feature-delete:feature
- domain-tag-add -> domain-tag-add:tag
- domain-tag-delete -> domain-tag-delete:tag
Make it consistent with property-* events. It makes more sense to
include tag/feature name in event name, so handler can watch a single
tag/feature - which is the most common case. Otherwise, most handlers
would begin with `if feature == '...'` anyway, wasting time on most
events.
In cases where multiple features/tags should be handled by a single
handler, it is now possible to register a handler with wildcard, for
example `domain-feature-set:*`.
Support registering handlers for more flexible wildcard events: not only
'*', but also 'something*'. This allows to register handlers for
'property-set:*' and such.
When creating a new VM of type DispVM without specifying any template
(e.g. "qvm-create --class DispVM --label red foo"), use default_dispvm.
Otherwise it would fail saying "Got empty response from qubesd."
Load integration tests from outside of core-admin repository, through

Create wrapper for VM object to keep very basic compatibility with tests

(vm.start(), vm.run()), the same test will work for both core2 and
core3. This is especially important for app-* repositories, where the
same version serves multiple Qubes branches.
This also hides asyncio usage from tests writer.
See QubesOS/qubes-issues#1800 for details on original feature.
