virFileOpenAs previously would only try opening a file as the current

open(2). Additionally, it had a lot of historical baggage that led to
it being difficult to understand.

This patch refactors virFileOpenAs in the following ways:
All current consumers of virFileOpenAs should retain their present
behavior (after a few minor changes to their setup code and
arguments).
Yep, sure looks like it.

I think we've hit a winner for refactoring it into something that can be
further modified while investigating those modifications, making it more
powerful for new uses, and without breaking behavior in the refactor.

+/* virFileOpenForceOwnerMode() - an internal utility function called
+ * only by virFileOpenAs().  Sets the owner and mode of the file
+ * opened as "fd" if it's not correct AND the flags say it should be
+ * forced. */
  static int
-virFileOpenAsNoFork(const char *path, int openflags, mode_t mode,
-                    uid_t uid, gid_t gid, unsigned int flags)
+virFileOpenForceOwnerMode(const char *path, int fd, mode_t mode,
+                          uid_t uid, gid_t gid, unsigned int flags)
  {
-    if ((flags&  VIR_DIR_CREATE_FORCE_PERMS)
-&&  (chmod(path, mode)<  0)) {
+    if ((flags&  VIR_FILE_OPEN_FORCE_MODE)&&
+        ((mode&  (S_IRWXU|S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO)) !=
+         (st.st_mode&  (S_IRWXU|S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO)))&&
Technically, this limits us to a mask of 00777,

+        (fchmod(fd, mode)<  0)) {
          ret = -errno;
          virReportSystemError(errno,
                               _("cannot set mode of '%s' to %04o"),
while this error message implied that we could request a mode with mask
07777.  But since none of the callers are passing sticky bits, I think
we can adjust that later if we ever find a reason that we need bits from
07000 modified, and leave well enough alone in this patch.

You know, the diff for this patch is so crazy already that we might as
well make maintenance slightly easier.  That is, right now, we have:

fork
if fail
     return error
if parent {
     wait for child
     do stuff, which has several return calls
     return
}
child
     do stuff, which might go to childerror
childerr:
     _exit

But sequentially, since the parent is waiting on the child, it might be
easier to read as:

fork
if child {
     do stuff, which might go to childerror
childerror:
     _exit
}
parent
     if fork failed, go to cleanup
     wait for child
     do more stuff, which might go to cleanup
cleanup:
     return

In other words, if you want to rearrange this section of code, now might
be a good time to do it, and I wouldn't even mind if you squashed it in
to this one rather than using a separate patch.  But that's all
cosmetic, it wouldn't change the code you actually have.


          if (!WIFEXITED(status) || (ret = -WEXITSTATUS(status)) == -EACCES ||
              fd == -1) {
              /* fall back to the simpler method, which works better in
               * some cases */
              VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(fd);
-            flags&= ~VIR_FILE_OPEN_AS_UID;
-            return virFileOpenAsNoFork(path, openflags, mode, uid, gid, flags);
+            if (flags&  VIR_FILE_OPEN_NOFORK) {
+                /* If we had already tried opening w/o fork+setuid and
+                 * failed, no sense trying again. Just set return the
+                 * original errno that we got at that time (by
+                 * definition, always either EACCES or EPERM - EACCES
+                 * is close enough).
+                 */
+               return -EACCES;
Fair enough.  I don't think the slight loss in information will hurt;
the end result is still a reasonable failure message.

ACK.


reordered and pushed. Thanks!
