This should allow importing a volume and changing the size at the
same time, without performing the resize operation on original
volume first.
The internal API has been renamed to internal.vm.volume.ImportBegin
to avoid confusion, and for symmetry with ImportEnd.
See QubesOS/qubes-issues#5239.
Not sure how this ever worked before, if it did.
The device nodes pointed to by /dev/qubes_dom0/* are owned by
root:disk with perms 660, qubes user is not in disk group,
and service is invoked as qubes user, not root.
Implement this in two parts:
1. Permissions checks, getting a path from appropriate storage pool
2. Actual data import
The first part is done by qubesd in a standard way, but then, instead of
accepting all the data (which may be several GB), return a path to which
a shell script (in practice: `dd` command) will write the data.
Then the script call back to qubesd again to report success/failure and
qubesd response from that call is actually returned to the user.
This way we do not pass all the data through qubesd, but still can
control the process from there in a meaningful way. Note that the last
part (second call to qubesd) may perform all kind of verification (like
a signature check on the data, or so) and can also prevent VM from
starting (hooking also domain-pre-start event) from not verified image.
