    storage: initial support for linking with libgfapi · 318ea3cb
    Eric Blake 提交于
    We support gluster volumes in domain XML, so we also ought to
    support them as a storage pool.  Besides, a future patch will
    want to take advantage of libgfapi to handle the case of a
    gluster device holding qcow2 rather than raw storage, and for
    that to work, we need a storage backend that can read gluster
    storage volume contents.  This sets up the framework.
    
    Note that the new pool is named 'gluster' to match a
    <disk type='network'><source protocol='gluster'> image source
    already supported in a <domain>; it does NOT match the
    <pool type='netfs'><source><target type='glusterfs'>,
    since that uses a FUSE mount to a local file name rather than
    a network name.
    
    This and subsequent patches have been tested against glusterfs
    3.4.1 (available on Fedora 19); there are likely bugs in older
    versions that may prevent decent use of gfapi, so this patch
    enforces the minimum version tested.  A future patch may lower
    the minimum.  On the other hand, I hit at least two bugs in
    3.4.1 that will be fixed in 3.5/3.4.2, where it might be worth
    raising the minimum: glfs_readdir is nicer to use than
    glfs_readdir_r [1], and glfs_fini should only return failure on
    an actual failure [2].
