Follow-ups from the review of the audit log layers:
- Blocking a user who is already blocked, or unblocking one who is
not, changes nothing and now writes no row, like any other edit
that changes nothing.
- write_chunk takes the request instead of the user and an optional
request; the view always had one, so the branch only tests used
is gone and every chunk 0 goes through the same audited submit.
- Tests: a busy clone creates no job and its row carries the page's
message; a later chunk that fails writes no submit row; libvirt
refusing a network or pool delete is a failed row.
The Logs page now records every change an admin makes to a compute's
libvirt objects, with the compute's name in the host column:
- networks: add, start, stop, delete, autostart, DHCP range, fixed
addresses, QoS and XML edits;
- storage pools: add, start, stop, delete, autostart, from web and
API; volumes: add and delete (web and API), clone and ISO upload;
- host interfaces: add, start, stop, delete;
- secrets: add, set value (never the value), delete;
- network filters: add, clone, delete, XML edits, rules and
references.
A refused or failed change is a failed row with its reason (libvirt
text through safe_text). The volume clone and upload jobs write their
row when they end; a refused submission is a failed row at once. A
volume row names the volume libvirt created (a dir pool adds .qcow2 or
.img). Volume create or delete through the API on an inactive pool
(409) is a failed row.
Network filters: the rows read "Network filter f1: add" instead of
"f1 network filter is created", and their host is the compute's name
instead of its hostname. A duplicate name or UUID no longer raises a
bare exception, and a filter XML that cannot be parsed no longer ends
in UnboundLocalError.
The upload session lives in a job instead of flocks and .meta/.done
files; the job panel shows and cancels it; an upload idle for an hour is
ended and its partial file deleted; the page no longer reloads after an
upload.
Each 32 MiB chunk is its own request and opened a new SSH connection and
SFTP session (~200 ms). A worker now keeps its connection to the host for
the next chunk; each request still opens its own SFTP session (~50 ms),
so an SFTP error never reaches the next one. A connection is not reused
after an error, when the host dropped it or once it is 10 minutes old; an
idle one is closed after a minute, and a forked worker leaves the parent's
to the parent. The SFTP start, which paramiko waits for without a deadline,
is ended after 10 s. Live: 256 MiB in 8 chunks 4.5-4.9 s -> 3.7 s.
Each 32 MiB chunk went out as 1024 SFTP writes, each waiting for its
answer: 19 MiB/s on a gigabit LAN, ~1.9 s per chunk with the SSH session.
The writes now go out without waiting and their answers are read as they
come and at the end: ~0.53 s per chunk, the same file (checked by sha256).
paramiko's own pipelined writes (set_pipelined) drop the errors in their
answers, so a full disk would leave a short ISO behind a successful
upload. Each write is registered to its file instead, the way paramiko
does for prefetched reads: every answer, in any order, reaches the file
and an error is raised as soon as one is read.
The upload session was recorded only after the first chunk had been
written, and a retried first chunk was refused when its part file was
missing. The session (with its upload id) is now written before the
part file is created, the part file is created by whichever chunk finds
none, and a missing part file is an error only after the first chunk.
An interrupted first chunk can be sent again without adopting an
unrelated file.
