Allow $DM_DEVDIR envvar to override default of "/dev".

Allow $DM_DEVDIR envvar to override default of "/dev".

[Jim Meyering]

In making LVM tests more reproducible and insulating them from
any existing LVM set-up, I've been using LVM_SYSTEM_DIR to specify
a different /dev directory.  However, that broke down for tests
that ran dmsetup, since dmsetup hard-codes /dev.

Here's a patch to make dmsetup honor a new DM_DEVDIR envvar,
in using that value in place of "/dev":

        Allow $DM_DEVDIR envvar to override default of "/dev".

        * dmsetup/dmsetup.c (DEV_PATH): Remove definition.
        (parse_loop_device_name): Add parameter: dev_dir.
        Declare the "dev" parameter to be "const".
        Use dev_dir, not DEV_PATH.  Handle the case in which dev_dir
        does not end in a "/".
        (_get_abspath): Declare "path" parameter "const", to match.
        (_process_losetup_switches): Add parameter: dev_dir.
        Pass dev_dir to parse_loop_device_name.
        (_process_switches): Add parameter: dev_dir.
        Pass dev_dir to _process_losetup_switches.
        (main): Set dev_dir from the DM_DEVDIR envvar, else to "/dev".
        Call dm_set_dev_dir.
        * lib/libdm-common.c (dm_set_dev_dir): Rewrite to be careful
        about boundary conditions, now that dev_dir may be tainted.

As for the way I call dm_set_dev_dir in main, note that I call
it only when using a value from DM_DEVDIR, and not when using
the default of "/dev".  That's sort of ugly, but using "/dev"
is the default that is hard-coded into libdevmapper, via this:

    lib/libdm-common.c:
      #define DEV_DIR "/dev/"
      static char _dm_dir[PATH_MAX] = DEV_DIR DM_DIR;

Ideally, libdevmapper wouldn't rely on any such static variable,
of course, but there may well be existing callers, so I won't
try to change that.

Small point, but should that be DM_DEV_DIR for consistency with

Can you make that a #define at the top of the file?

log_error ?
(Functions should produce an error message as close as possible to the
place the problem is detected; all functions that return failure must
log a message before returning - using a macro like 'stack' if you don't
want the user to see it.  The only exceptions (very rare) are functions
expected to fail frequently that would produce too many log messages.)

Also consider dm_snprintf rather than snprintf.

Yep.  I prefer that, too.

I can do that, but then the diagnostic can no longer say that
the DM_DEV_DIR envvar is at fault.  There is a slight advantage
to diagnosing "too long" and "dir name is not absolute" separately,
but nonetheless, I have a slight preference for being able to point
directly to the DM_DEV_DIR envvar.

With my original patch, I got this diagnostic:

    Invalid DM_DEVDIR envvar value.

with the patch below, I get one of these

    Invalid dev_dir value, x: not an absolute name.
    Invalid dev_dir value, ...: name too long.

> Also consider dm_snprintf rather than snprintf.
> [lvm2 uses this, but bits of dm haven't been converted]

Sounds like a good idea for a separate patch.
There are many uses of snprintf.  IMHO, it'd be best to change
them all at once.

Here's the incremental patch, then the full one:

Yep.  I prefer that, too.

I can do that, but then the diagnostic can no longer say that
the DM_DEV_DIR envvar is at fault.  There is a slight advantage
to diagnosing "too long" and "dir name is not absolute" separately,
but nonetheless, I have a slight preference for being able to point
directly to the DM_DEV_DIR envvar.

With my original patch, I got this diagnostic:

    Invalid DM_DEVDIR envvar value.

with the patch below, I get one of these

    Invalid dev_dir value, x: not an absolute name.
    Invalid dev_dir value, ...: name too long.

Sounds like a good idea for a separate patch.
There are many uses of snprintf.  IMHO, it'd be best to change
them all at once.

Here's the incremental patch, then the full one:

======================================================================

        Allow $DM_DEV_DIR envvar to override default of "/dev".

        * dmsetup/dmsetup.c (DEV_PATH): Remove definition.
        (parse_loop_device_name): Add parameter: dev_dir.
        Declare the "dev" parameter to be "const".
        Use dev_dir, not DEV_PATH.  Handle the case in which dev_dir
        does not end in a "/".
        (_get_abspath): Declare "path" parameter "const", to match.
        (_process_losetup_switches): Add parameter: dev_dir.
        Pass dev_dir to parse_loop_device_name.
        (_process_switches): Add parameter: dev_dir.
        Pass dev_dir to _process_losetup_switches.
        (main): Set dev_dir from the DM_DEV_DIR envvar, else to "/dev".
        Call dm_set_dev_dir.
        * lib/libdm-common.c (dm_set_dev_dir): Rewrite to be careful
        about boundary conditions, now that dev_dir may be tainted.

Then do the 'stack' or 'return_0' macro thing - or log the

see the 'clean' error.
