Subject: [PATCH 2/3] daemon: Fix for commands working on absolute symbolic links (RHBZ#579608). The original idea (suggested by Al Viro) was to fork and chroot into the sysroot and read the file from there. Because of the separate process being chrooted, absolute links would be resolved correctly. The slightly modified idea is to open the file in the daemon process (but temporarily chrooted, so symlinks resolve correctly), fork, and have the subprocess just be responsible for copying the file. (Strictly speaking we don't need to fork, but this implementation is simpler). This commit just includes the changes needed to the command*() functions in daemon/guestfsd.c and adds an absolute symlink to the test ISO for testing it. Later commits will fix the broken daemon commands themselves. --- .gitignore | 1 + daemon/daemon.h | 4 ++- daemon/guestfsd.c | 99 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- images/Makefile.am | 4 ++ 4 files changed, 103 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 382cbcf..a79edca 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -103,6 +103,7 @@ images/100kallspaces images/100kallzeroes images/100krandom images/10klines +images/abssymlink images/hello.b64 images/initrd images/initrd-x86_64.img diff --git a/daemon/daemon.h b/daemon/daemon.h index 81a9f36..977dfdc 100644 --- a/daemon/daemon.h +++ b/daemon/daemon.h @@ -53,7 +53,9 @@ extern void free_stringslen (char **argv, int len); #define commandv(out,err,argv) commandvf((out),(err),0,(argv)) #define commandrv(out,err,argv) commandrvf((out),(err),0,(argv)) -#define COMMAND_FLAG_FOLD_STDOUT_ON_STDERR 1 +#define COMMAND_FLAG_FD_MASK (1024-1) +#define COMMAND_FLAG_FOLD_STDOUT_ON_STDERR 1024 +#define COMMAND_FLAG_CHROOT_COPY_FILE_TO_STDIN 2048
