The canonical device name is not necessarily used in /proc/mounts or
/proc/self/mountinfo, see /dev/dm-0 vs. /dev/mapper/dmroot. (And only
checking by major:minor is not possible in the case of btrfs.)
Also fixes another bug where e.g. dm-10 would match when really only
dm-1 was mounted, or when the mountpoint path included the device name,
etc.
Also catches enabled swap.
Those devices are most likely attached using "PV USB" from another
domain, so it doesn't make sense to list them as available for further
passthrough.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#531
Even if particular PV USB implementation doesn't support it, still have
it included in QubesDB. It should be up to attaching code to decide.
Also, don't fail if xen-usbback module doesn't exist. This isn't the
only option (the other one is usbip over qrexec).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#531
During early dom0 boot, before xenstored is started any access to it
through /proc/xen/xenbus (or /dev/xen/xenbus) will wait until xenstored
is started. If that happens in script ordered to start before xenstored,
we have a deadlock. Prevent this by using `xenstore-ls -s` in dom0,
which will fail immediately when xenstored isn't running yet. This fail
isn't a problem, because when xenstored isn't running yet, surely device
isn't attached anywhere.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1081
This prevents simultaneous attachment of the same device (in practice)
to multiple VMs.
This change to be effective requires udev action being called when such
device is attached/detached to some domain. Script
/etc/xen/scripts/block will take care of it.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1081
Exclude exclude device if mounted/part of other device, or any of its
partition is used (same definition). Update this state whenever device
or it's partition receives udev event.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1600
When device becomes non-attachable (for example because it gets mounted,
or used as part of LVM/RAID/whatever), it should be removed from
advertised available devices. The code for removing QubesDB entry was
buggy - the device is actually a directory in QubesDB, not a single
entry.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1600
There are already some other rules to ignore not interesting devices.
This includes device-mapper assembled in initramfs manually. 'dmroot'
isn't properly detected as mounted because /dev/mapper/dmroot isn't a
symlink to /dev/dm-0 and /proc/mounts contains the former name, while
udev event the later.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1586
Since migration to QubesDB, it isn't needed anymore (QubesDB have no
problem with concurrent writes, as transactions are not supported).
This should speedup system startup.
Recently we've switched all xenstore access to the new interface
(instead of deprecated /proc/xen/xenbus). Mostly because of deadlock in
/proc/xen/xenbus implementation.
It can happen during device reconfiguration - do not decide to expose
the device until its known what device it will be.
This fixes bug where root.img was visible in qvm-block as normal device
and could be detached.
xenstored does handle concurrent writes very harshly - it aborts the
whole transaction if any other write happened the same time. For udev
(which process all the events almost at once) it means hundreds of
retries and in some times even exceed udev timeout (60s or so).
To prevent this problem, add locking to allow only one such event being
processed at once. It looks like it should slow down the system startup,
but actually it does otherwise.
