similar to: [PATCH v2] Add progress bars

I've been taking a long hard look at the protocol layer. It has evolved over a long time without any particular direction, and the result is, to say the least, not very organized. These patches take a first step at cleaning up the mess by abstracting out socket operations from the rest of the code. The purpose of this is to allow us to slot in a different connection layer under the

As the start of work to add remote support, I'm taking a close look at the protocol layer in the library. These are some small cleanups. Rich.

Thanks Rich. I have used libguestfs for several month. It worked perfectly before, the issue appears recently. I am trying guestfs_set_backend (g, "direct").

As discussed previously: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-July/msg00003.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-July/msg00024.html To do: (1) Implement progress notifications for many more daemon operations. (2) OCaml bindings to the callback. (3) Perl bindings to the callback. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

Hey, When downloading a file whose path contains multi-byte utf-8, libguestfs sometimes crashes. This reproduces when using python, and not when using guestfish. Code to reproduce: for i in range(2000): g.download ('/xxx?', '/tmp/1') #0 raise (sig=<optimized out>) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:50 #1 0x00007ffff7fac140 in <signal handler called> () at

It's not too clear from the patch, so I have also extracted the new API from <guestfs.h> and the relevant section of the man page. Rich. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /* Events. */ #define GUESTFS_EVENT_CLOSE 0x0001 #define GUESTFS_EVENT_SUBPROCESS_QUIT 0x0002 #define GUESTFS_EVENT_LAUNCH_DONE 0x0004 #define

In the kernel and qemu communities it is routine for patches that will be backported to stable branches to be posted for review. I'm proposing we do the same for libguestfs stable branches. All of the attached have been tested with 'make check-release'. Rich.

This patch set fixes a two year old bug in guestfish, namely that the 'glob' command does not expand /dev/* patterns. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635971 Rich.

Previous discussion here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-June/thread.html#00048 v2: - Use a cleanup handler to release the lock. - Rebase to upstream. Note I have not fixed the problem(s) with error handling (patch 3).

These two patches are probably not completely independent, but separating them is a lot of work. With *both* patches applied, all the tests and extra-tests pass. That's no guarantee however that there isn't a mistake, so I don't think this patch is a candidate for the 1.16 branch, until it's had a lot more testing in development. Rich.

Tested with 'make check-release'. tests/parallel (in check-slow) failed, although it does regularly and that seems to be because of libvirt. Rich.

I also ran all the tests, which pass. As with the previous versions, this makes a change to the API, where you
