[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] qga: vss-win32: Fix interference with other VSS requesters

[Tomoki Sekiyama]

Current functionarity of qemu-ga VSS provider is limited to implement
filesystems freeze, and doesn't support the creation of shadow copies
within the guest.
However, when no other hardware snapshot provider is installed, VSS may
choose qemu-ga VSS provider to create shadow copies and fail with
VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_PROVIDER_ERROR.
Similar issue occurs when the requester deletes shadow copies.

This patchset fix this issue by telling VSS that the volume is not
supported by qemu-ga VSS provider when it is kicked by other requesters.

It also fixes wrong error handling around OpenEvent/CreateEvent WinAPI,
which returns NULL instead of INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE on errors.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] qga: vss-win32: Use NULL as an invalid pointer for OpenEvent and CreateEvent

[Tomoki Sekiyama]

OpenEvent and CreateEvent WinAPI return NULL when failed to open/create
events handles, instead of INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (although their return
types are HANDLE).
This replaces INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE related to event handles with NULL.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] qga: vss-win32: Fix interference with snapshot creation by other VSS requesters

[Tomoki Sekiyama]

When a VSS requester such as vshadow.exe or diskshadow.exe requests to
create disk snapshots, Windows may choose qemu-ga VSS provider if it is
only provider registered on the system. However, because it provides only a
function to freeze the filesystem, the snapshotting fails.

This patch adds a check into CQGAVssProvider::IsVolumeSupported() to reject
the request from other VSS requesters, so that the other provider is chosen.

The check of requester is done by confirming event channels between
qemu-ga's requester and provider established. To ensure that the events are
initialized when CQGAVssProvider::IsVolumeSupported() is called, it moves
the initialization earlier.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] qga: vss-win32: Fix interference with snapshot deletion by other VSS request

[Tomoki Sekiyama]

When a VSS requester such as vshadow.exe or diskshadow.exe requests to
delete snapshots, qemu-ga VSS provider's DeleteSnapshots() is also called
and returns E_NOTIMPL, that makes the deletion fail.
To avoid this issue, return S_OK and set values that represent no snapshots
are deleted by qemu-ga VSS provider.
