[libvirt] [PATCH 4/3] storage: refactor backing chain division of labor

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Tue Nov 5 21:32:19 UTC 2013


Future patches will want to learn metadata about a file using
a buffer that was already parsed in order to probe the file's
format.  Rather than reopening and re-reading the file, it makes
sense to separate getting file contents from actually parsing
those contents.

* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf)
(virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFDInternal): New functions.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataInternal): Hoist fstat() and read() into
callers.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD)
(virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse): Rework clients.
* src/util/virstoragefile.h (virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf):
New prototype.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virstoragefile.h): Export it.

The diffstat looks big, but a lot of that is due to duplicated
doc comments.
