Under high memory pressure and very high KVP R/W test pressure, the netlink recvfrom() may transiently return ENOBUFS to the daemon -- we found this during a 2-week stress test. We'd better not terminate the daemon on the failure, because a typical KVP user will re-try the R/W and hopefully it will succeed next time. We can also ignore the errors on sending. Cc: K. Y.

2014-11-27Tools: hv: vssdaemon: report freeze errorsVitaly Kuznetsov1-4/+12
When ioctl(fd, FIFREEZE, 0) results in an error we cannot report it to syslog instantly since that can cause write to a frozen disk. However, the name of the filesystem which caused the error and errno are valuable and we would like to get a nice human-readable message in the log. Save errno before calling vss_operate(VSS_OP_THAW) and report the error right after. Unfortunately, FITHAW errors cannot be reported the same way as we need to finish thawing all filesystems before calling syslog(). We should also avoid calling endmntent() for the second time in case we encountered an error during freezing of '/' as it usually results in SEGSEGV.

2014-11-07tools: hv: introduce -n/--no-daemon optionVitaly Kuznetsov3-6/+94
All tools/hv daemons do mandatory daemon() on startup. However, no pidfile is created, this make it difficult for an init system to track such daemons. Modern linux distros use systemd as their init system. It can handle the daemonizing by itself, however, it requires a daemon to stay in foreground for that. Some distros already carry distro-specific patch for hv tools which switches off daemon(). Introduce -n/--no-daemon option for all 3 daemons in hv/tools.

Implement the file copy service for Linux guests on Hyper-V. This permits the host to copy a file (over VMBUS) into the guest. This facility is part of "guest integration services" supported on the Windows platform. Here is a link that provides additional details on this functionality: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn464282.aspx In V1 version of the patch I have addressed comments from Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> and Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> In V2 version of this patch I did some minor cleanup (making some globals static). In V4 version of the patch I have addressed all of Olaf's most recent set of comments/concerns. In V5 version of the patch I had addressed Greg's most recent comments. I would like to thank Greg for suggesting that I use misc device; it has significantly simplified the code. In V6 version of the patch I have cleaned up error message based on Olaf's comments.

2013-09-26Tools: hv: cache FQDN in kvp_daemon to avoid timeoutsOlaf Hering1-7/+12
kvp_daemon does some operations which take an unpredicable amount of time. In addition the kernel driver gives the kvp_daemon a 5 second timeout to respond to message from the host. If an operation such as getaddrinfo takes a long time and the timeout triggers then netlink errors occour. As a result of such errors the daemon just terminates and the service becomes unavailable. Idendifying and fixing these shortcomings in the kernel-userland communication protocol will be done in separate patches. This change fixes just one obvious timeout bug. Update kvp_get_domain_name to not return a value, better diagnostic for the consumer of the hostname string, remove trailing newline in error case, use snprintf to not overrun output buffer, get hostname only once and return the cached result.

2013-08-13Tools: hv: correct payload size in netlink_sendOlaf Hering2-2/+2
netlink_send is supposed to send just the cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg via netlink. Currently it sets an incorrect iovec size, as reported by valgrind. In the case of registering with the kernel the allocated buffer is large enough to hold nlmsghdr+cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg, no overrun happens. In the case of responding to the kernel the cn_msg is located in the middle of recv_buffer, after the nlmsghdr. Currently the code in netlink_send adds also the size of nlmsghdr to the payload. But nlmsghdr is a separate iovec. This leads to an (harmless) out-of-bounds access when the kernel processes the iovec. Correct the iovec size of the cn_msg to be just cn_msg + its payload.

In addition it fixes the Network info tab in Windows Server 2012R2 in SLES11. Adjust the code in kvp and vss daemon to allocate the needed buffers at runtime.

2013-03-15Drivers: hv: Add a new driver to support host initiated backupK. Y. Srinivasan1-0/+220
This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests, the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent. This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen, the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file systems are "thawed". This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds. During this interval, the diff disk is comitted. In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring. Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
