[libvirt] [PATCH] qemuDomainDiskChangeSupported: Forbid alias change
Posted by Michal Privoznik 7 years, 5 months ago 
Since we have user aliases it may happen that users want to
change it using 'update-device'. Instead of ignoring it silently,
error out loudly.

So IIUC this would be adding a check that the libvirt supplied alias
matches, true? But your goal is to check if a "ua-" prefixed alias was
being used - so should the check use of the prefix?

There's probably a few more info. fields that could be considered - any
thoughts on those? Perhaps fairly difficult to keep up with the various
_virDomainDiskDef and friends alterations for what this function is
indicating...

I don't think this is limited to user provided aliases only. For
instance, libvirt generates the following aliases for disks: scsi0-0-0,
ide0-1-0, fdc0-0-0.

Now, what should happen if an user provides new disk XML trying to
change nothing but 'scsi0-0-0' to say 'scsi0-0-1' (for live domain)? I
think it should be forbidden - we don't have way to change IDs in qemu,
do we? We certainly lack implementation to support it.

Therefore, I think we don't have to limit the check just for 'ua-' prefixes.

Yeah, probably. I'm not sure. Maybe we will find some more.

OK - fair enough...  Perhaps the commit message is what caught my
attention/focus to ua- in particular.  Maybe the extra explanation here
can be worked in.

I'm not sure if our current approach is the way to go… Couldn’t we just
invert the logic for qemuDomainDiskChangeSupported in that way that it
returns by default false and only for cases where we know that it’s
supported to change we return true? Not sure if this proposed approach
is feasible.

Maybe. If you want to work on it, be my guest. It looks feasible to me.
Unfortunately, I'm buried under some other work right now.

Currently, I don't have time for this as it’s not that important.
