2014-05-09block/nfs: Check for NULL server partMax Reitz
After the URL has been parsed make sure the server part is valid in order to avoid a segmentation fault when calling nfs_mount(). Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2014-04-25Use error_is_set() only when necessary (again)Markus Armbruster
error_is_set(&var) is the same as var != NULL, but it takes whole-program analysis to figure that out. Unnecessarily hard for optimizers, static checkers, and human readers. Commit 84d18f0 dumbed it down to obvious, but a few more have crept in since, and documentation was overlooked. Dumb these down, too.

2014-03-19block/nfs: report errors from libnfsPeter Lieven
if an NFS operation fails we should report what libnfs knows about the failure. It is likely more than just an error code. Signed-off-by: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2014-02-09block: add native support for NFSPeter Lieven
This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS shares without the requirement to actually mount the entire NFS share on the host. NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form: nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>[?param=value[&param2=value2[&...]]] For example: qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2 You need LibNFS from Ronnie Sahlberg available at: git://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.git for this to work. During configure it is automatically probed for libnfs and support is enabled on-the-fly. You can forbid or enforce libnfs support with --disable-libnfs or --enable-libnfs respectively. Due to NFS restrictions you might need to execute your binaries as root, allow them to open priviledged ports (<1024) or specify insecure option on the NFS server. For additional information on ROOT vs. non-ROOT operation and URL format + parameters see: https://raw.github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/master/README Supported by qemu are the uid, gid and tcp-syncnt URL parameters. LibNFS currently support NFS version 3 only. Signed-off-by: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
