The 'lx_block' component uses the aged Block::Driver framework
internally and most if not all use-cases where it could be employed
can be addressed by using the 'vfs_block' component instead.
This commit also removes some run-scripts that make use of 'lx_block'
whose components are already excercised otherwise.
Issue #5522.
This patch changes the way of how the client-selected sub directory is
communicated to the server. The former opaque session argument is now
passed as last label element, which allows for the flexible tweaking
of this argument by init's session-routing and label-rewriting
mechansims. In particular, it alleviates the need for creating chroot
component instances.
This change requires the following four adaptations at the
configuration level:
- Each file-system session request must now carry a path starting
with / as last session arguments. Hence, <vfs> <fs> nodes that
feature a 'label' attributes must extend the attribute value
with " -> /". For <fs> nodes with no label attribute, "/" is
used as last label argument by default.
- For matching session-routing rules at init's configuration,
the matching of full labels should be replaced by 'label_prefix'
matches, excluding the last (path) argument.
- Wherever a label of a file-system session is rewritten by using
init's 'label' attribute of a <parent> or <child> target node,
the new attribute 'identity' should be used instead. This replaces
the identity part of the label while preserving the client's
directory argument.
- Analogously to the matching of session-routing rules, server-side
policy-selection rules that formerly matched a concrete 'label'
must be changed to match a 'label_prefix' instead.
As a good practice, 'label_prefix' values should end with " ->" if
possible, which clearly delimits the identity part of the label
used by the matching.
Issue #5445
* add testing of trees with minimal and maximal dimensions to tresor_tester.run
* replace tresor_init-local configuration type with simpler and more conformant
configuration type in tresor/types.h that does also XML-parsing and
XML-generation of configurations
* raise min degree to 2 because a degree of 1 is not practical und would
require additional logic
* fix overflow with num_blocks=0 in Superblock_control::Read|Write_vbas
* fix off-by-one bug regarding the number of levels in Vbd_initializer
* improve sanity checks in Tree_configuration constructors
* document level indices in tresor_init/README
* fix size of some arrays in order to be able to handle the maximum number of
tree levels
Ref #5077
The tresor_check tool became outdated back when the Tresor project was created
by re-writing its predecessor, the CBE, in C++. At this time, the check tool
was merely renamed but not updated. As there was also no autopilot test for the
tool, the tool remained outdated.
This commit rewrites the tool for the most recent Tresor version and adds an
autopilot test.
