v3 cover Improve convert and dd commands

Update to

v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-01/msg05699.html
v2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-02/msg00728.html

This series is in response to Max pointing out that you cannot use 'convert' for an encrypted target image.

The 'convert' and 'dd' commands need to first create the image and then open it. The bdrv_create() method takes a set of options for creating the image, which let us provide a key-secret for the encryption key. When the commands then open the new image, they don't provide any options, so the image is unable to be opened due to lack of encryption key. It is also not possible to use the --image-opts argument to provide structured options in the target image name - it must be a plain filename to satisfy the bdrv_create() API contract.

This series addresses these problems to some extent

- Adds a new --target-image-opts flag which is used to say that the target filename is using structured options. It is *only* permitted to use this when -n is also set. ie the target image must be pre-created so convert/dd don't need to run bdrv_create().

- When --target-image-opts is not used, add special case code that identifies options passed to bdrv_create() named "*key-secret" and adds them to the options used to open the new image

In future it is desirable to make --target-image-opts work even when -n is *not* given. This requires considerable work to create a new bdrv_create() API impl.

The first patch fixes a bug in the 'dd' command while the second adds support for the missing '--object' arg to 'dd', allowing it to reference secrets when opening files. The last two patches implement the new features described above for the 'convert' command.

Changed in v3:

- Drop all patches affecting the 'dd' command except for the clear bug fix and the --object support. They can be re-considered once dd is rewritten to run ontop of convert.
- Use consistent return/goto style in dd command (Max)
- Fix error reporting when using compressed image and skip-create (Max)
- Unconditionally create QDict when open files (Max)

Changed in v2:

- Replace dd -n flag with support for conv=nocreat,notrunc
- Misc typos (Eric, Fam)

Daniel P. Berrange (4):
qemu-img: add support for --object with 'dd' command
qemu-img: fix --image-opts usage with dd command
qemu-img: introduce --target-image-opts for 'convert' command

PATCH v3 1/4 qemu-img: add support for --object with 'dd' command

The qemu-img dd command added --image-opts support, but missed the corresponding --object support. This prevented passing secrets (eg auth passwords) needed by certain disk images.

PATCH v3 2/4 qemu-img: fix --image-opts usage with dd command

In reply to Daniel P. Berrange

The --image-opts flag can only be used to affect the parsing of the source image. The target image has to be specified in the traditional style regardless, since it needs to be passed to the bdrv_create() API which does not support the new style opts.

Hm. This means that...

1. --image-opts never worked for 'qemu-img dd'

2. If we ever change bdrv_create() to be more flexible, with this patch we'd be stuck with an inconsistent "filename for target, options for source" interface because we can't change the semantics any more.

Should we just remove --image-opts from qemu-img dd instead until we can provide the real thing?

We're already in that situation wrt bdrv_create() for other commands, so we need a separate flag to request use of image opts for the target image. So I don't think we want to special case dd in this respect.

PATCH v3 3/4 qemu-img: introduce --target-image-opts for 'convert' command

In reply to Daniel P. Berrange

The '--image-opts' flags indicates whether the source filename includes options. The target filename has to remain in the plain filename format though, since it needs to be passed to bdrv_create(). When using --skip-create though, it would be possible to use image-opts syntax. This adds --target-image-opts to indicate that the target filename includes options. Currently this mandates use of the --skip-create flag too.

Hm, okay, with a separate --target-image-opts here, too, I guess the 'qemu-img dd' interface would be consistent after all.

PATCH v3 4/4 qemu-img: copy *key-secret opts when opening newly created files

In reply to Daniel P. Berrange

The qemu-img dd/convert commands will create a image file and then try to open it. Historically it has been possible to open new files without passing any options. With encrypted files though, the *key-secret options are mandatory, so we need to provide those options when opening the newly created file.

I had written this after my conversion of qcow2 to use secrets, but I presume you just tested this series in isolation. If this series merges before my qcow2+luks series, then yeah, we'd need to handle the scearnio you describe.

The qemu-img dd/convert commands will create a image file and then try to open it. Historically it has been possible to open new files without passing any options. With encrypted files though, the *key-secret options are mandatory, so we need to provide those options when opening the newly created file.

Why not make this a small wrapper around img_open_file(), which does almost the same except that it can ask for a password? Leaving out the img_open_password() call means that simple '-o encryption=on' breaks, so it's a bug anyway:

$ ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -o encryption ~/images/hd.img /tmp/crypt.qcow2
qemu-img: block/qcow2.c:1613: qcow2_co_pwritev: Assertion `s->cipher' failed.

I had written this after my conversion of qcow2 to use secrets, but I presume you just tested this series in isolation. If this series merges before my qcow2+luks series, then yeah, we'd need to handle the scearnio you describe.

I see. Your commit message doesn't make clear that it depends on the qcow2 series, so I was thinking that this could go into 2.9 even if the qcow2 series might not make it (I think it touches the I/O path, so I'm a bit more cautious there so short before the freeze).

Anyway, doesn't the wrapper instead of duplicating code make sense anyway, even if the duplication didn't result in a bug?

Yep, understood. It is wise to be cautious with crypto stuff too.

Ok, I see what you mean. I can repost with that change.
