[PATCH 0/2] python: improved UTF8 decoding error handling
by Matteo Cafasso
The Python 3 bindings currently are unable to deal with non UTF8 characters.
This series continues what proposed in RHBZ#1406906.
A new function 'set_decode_error_handler' allows the User to specify
how to deal with decoding errors.
The default behaviour will be raising a UnicodeDecodeError.
If the handler is changed to 'surrogateescape', non UTF8 characters will be escaped
in a similar manner as for Python 2.
See PEP383 for reference.
This series fixes also a bug introduced in commit 9d25b4e56471f9c33ea6229a8b620fc800c240f8.
Matteo Cafasso (2):
python: return bytes when return value is RBufferOut
python: unicode decode handler error scheme setter

The fact that /dev/centos/root (XFS filesystem) wasn't resized here
indicates that you don't have the correct XFS subpackage installed.
Virt-resize would have given you a warning about this, but in any case
you need to install the ‘libguestfs-xfs’ package on the host.

You shouldn't need to resize anything in the guest, virt-resize
should do it - see above.

When connected to a remote libvirtd, virt-customize simply asks
libvirt for a list of the domains, but then it tries to open the disk
images returned as regular files. The libvirt XML doesn't contain any
information that disk images are remote nor how to connect to remote
files.
There are however several ways to edit remote files, although none of
them are completely transparent. Probably the simplest method is to
share /var/lib/libvirt/images over NFS so it appears at the same path
on every machine.
More complex methods include NBD, iSCSI, ssh:// URLs, etc. See:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html#adding-remote-storage
These URLs should work with virt-customize too if you use a recent
enough version.
You might also find my minimal cloud software useful, although this
does not use remote storage, but relies on the controller being able
to use passwordless ssh to connect to each cloud node:

[PATCH] daemon: lvm: Pass --yes option to force pvresize (RHBZ#1460577).
by Richard W.M. Jones
LVM2 >= 2.02.171 requires the ‘--yes’ option to force pvresize to work
in various circumstances, eg. reducing the size of an existing PV.
Pass this flag unconditionally.
Note this does NOT break earlier versions which just ignore this flag.

[PATCH] lib: direct, uml: Unblock SIGTERM in the hypervisor and recovery processes (RHBZ#1460338).
by Richard W.M. Jones
If SIGTERM is blocked in the main program, then it ends up still being
blocked in the subprocess after we fork. This means that we cannot
kill qemu by sending SIGTERM to it. This commit fixes the problem by
unblocking SIGTERM unconditionally after fork.
Thanks: wtfuzz on IRC for reporting and analysis.

[PATCH 00/12] Refactor utility functions.
by Richard W.M. Jones
This turned out to be rather more involved than I thought.
We have lots of utility functions, spread all over the repository,
with not a lot of structure. This moves many of them under common/
and structures them so there are clear dependencies.
This doesn't complete the job by any means. Other items I had on my
to-do list for this change were:
- Split up mllib/common_utils into:
- bindings around common/options to common/mloptions
- util functions (such as error handling) used by the virt-*
OCaml utilities to common/mltools (Tools_utils)
- Move mllib/uri* -> common/mloptions
- Other mllib/ modules used only by tools can also be moved
to common/mltools, eg. curl, JSON, regedit, ...

[PATCH] lib: create: Allow any [[:alnum:]]+ string as a backingfmt parameter.
by Richard W.M. Jones
If you use the libguestfs tools which open disk images read-only
(eg. virt-df), with formats such as 'vdi', then you will see an error:
error: invalid value for backingformat parameter 'vdi'
This is because opening a disk image read-only will try to create a
qcow2 file with the original image as a backing file. However the
list of permitted backing formats was very restrictive and did not
include 'vdi' (nor many other uncommon formats).
Instead of using a whitelist for backing formats, just validate that
the string is alphanumeric and short.
Thanks: Mike Goodwin for reporting the bug.
