#!/bin/sh # # This Admin API call is implemented as a custom script, instead of dumb # passthrough to qubesd because it may get huge amount of data (whole root.img # for example). qubesd cannot handle it because: # 1. It loads the whole payload into memory, before even start looking at it # (and later, do not allow to modify/append it). # 2. There is 64kB limit on payload size that qubesd can handle (because of # point 1). # 3. Performance reasons (qubesd is not optimized for performance, passing # such large data stream through it would take ages). # # The whole admin.vm.volume.Import consists of: # 1. Permissions checks, getting a path from appropriate storage pool (done # by qubesd) # 2. Actual data import (done by this script, using dd) # 3. Report final result, produce final response to the caller (done by # qubesd) # # 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. set -e # use temporary file, because env variables deal poorly with \0 inside tmpfile=$(mktemp) trap "rm -f $tmpfile" EXIT qubesd-query -e \ "$QREXEC_REMOTE_DOMAIN" \ "admin.vm.volume.Import" \ "$QREXEC_REQUESTED_TARGET" \ "$1" >$tmpfile # exit if qubesd returned an error (not '0\0') if [ "$(head -c 2 $tmpfile | xxd -p)" != "3000" ]; then cat "$tmpfile" exit 1 fi size=$(tail -c +3 "$tmpfile"|cut -d ' ' -f 1) path=$(tail -c +3 "$tmpfile"|cut -d ' ' -f 2) # now process stdin into this path if sudo dd bs=128K of="$path" count="$size" iflag=count_bytes,fullblock \ conv=sparse,notrunc,nocreat,fdatasync status=none; then status="ok" else status="fail" fi # send status notification to qubesd, and pass its response to the caller echo -n "$status" | qubesd-query -c /var/run/qubesd.internal.sock \ "$QREXEC_REMOTE_DOMAIN" \ "internal.vm.volume.ImportEnd" \ "$QREXEC_REQUESTED_TARGET" \ "$1"
