[libvirt] [PATCH] rewrite virFileLinkPointsTo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've rewritten virFileLinkPointsTo to be a lot simpler,
and more importantly, it has far fewer failure points.
If anyone wants to preserve the original behavior that
makes it fail when the first parameter does not specify
a symlink, I can add that.  The only difference in behavior
would be when the two files are hard-linked.

In any case, I'll remove the FIXME comment.

The diff below is not very readable.  Bottom line,
it replaces a pair of functions (the latter is a stub for mingw)
with this:

#define SAME_INODE(Stat_buf_1, Stat_buf_2) \
  ((Stat_buf_1).st_ino == (Stat_buf_2).st_ino \
   && (Stat_buf_1).st_dev == (Stat_buf_2).st_dev)

int virFileLinkPointsTo(const char *checkLink,
                        const char *checkDest)
{
    struct stat src_sb;
    struct stat dest_sb;

    if (stat (checkLink, &src_sb) || stat (checkDest, &dest_sb))
      return 0;

    /* FIXME: if required, lstat checkLink to ensure it's a symlink */

    if (! SAME_INODE (src_sb, dest_sb)) {
        virLog("Link '%s' does not point to '%s', ignoring\n",
               checkLink, checkDest);
        return 0;
    }

    return 1;
}
