A couple of things going on, but I think it makes sense to do them
atomically.
The NodeBase.create() argument "results" is the global state
dictionary that will be saved to "state.json", and re-loaded in later
phases and passed to them as the argument "state". So for
consistency, call this argument "state" (this fits with the change out
to start building the state dictionary earlier in the
PluginBase.__init__() calls).
Since the "state" is a pretty important part of how everything works,
move it into a separate object. This is treated as essentially a
singleton. It bundles it nicely together for some added
documentation [1].
We move instantiation of this object out of the generic
BlockDevice.__init__() call and into the actual cmd_* drivers. This
is because there's two distinct instantiation operations -- creating a
new state (during cmd_create) and loading an existing state (other
cmd_*). This is also safer -- since we know the cmd_* arguments are
looking for an existing state.json, we will fail if it somehow goes
missing.
To more fully unit test this, some testing plugins and new
entry-points are added. These add known state values which we check
for. These should be a good basis for further tests.
[1] as noted, we could probably do some fun things in the future like
make this implement a dictionary and have some saftey features like
r/o keys.

As described in pep282 [1], the variable part of a log message
should be passed in via parameter. In this case the parameters
are evaluated only when they need to be.
This patch fixes (unifies) this for DIB.
A check using pylint was added that this kind of passing parameters to
the logging subsystem is enforced in future. As a blueprint a similar
(stripped-down) approach from cinder [2] was used.

This completes the transitions started in
Ic5a61365ef0132476b11bdbf1dd96885e91c3cb6
The new file plugin.py is the place to start with this change. The
abstract base classes PluginBase and NodeBase are heavily documented.
NodeBase essentially replaces Digraph.Node
The changes in level?/*.py make no functional changes, but are just
refactoring to implement the plugin and node classes consistently.
Additionally we have added asserts during parsing & generation to
ensure plugins are implemented PluginBase, and get_nodes() is always
returning NodeBase objects for the graph.
Change-Id: Ie648e9224749491260dea65d7e8b8151a6824b9c
This switches the code to use networkx for the digraph implementation.
Note that the old implementation specifically isn't removed in this
change -- for review clarity. It will be replaced by a base class
that defines things properly to the API described below.
Plugins return a node object with three functions
get_name() : return the unique name of this node
get_nodes() : return a list of nodes for insertion into the graph.
Usually this is just "self". Some special things like partitioning
add extra nodes at this point, however.
get_edges() : return a tuple of two lists; edges_from and edges_to
As you would expect the first is a list of node names that points to
us, and the second is a list of node names we point to. Usually
this is only populated as ([self.base],[]) -- i.e. our "base" node
points to us. Some plugins, such as mounting, create links both to
and from themselves, however.
Plugins have been updated, some test cases added (error cases
specifically)

This moves to a more generic config parser that doesn't have plugins
parsing part of the tree.
I understand why it ended up that way; we have "partitions" key which
has special semantics compared to others keys and there was a desire
to keep it isolated from core tree->graph code. But this isn't really
isolated; you have to reverse-engineer several module-crossing
boundaries, extras classes and repetitive recursive functions.
Ultimately, plugins should have access to the node graph, but not
participate in configuration parsing. This way we ensure that plugins
can't invent new methods of configuration parsing.
Note: unit tests produce the same tree -> graph conversion as the old
method. i.e. this is not intended to have a functional change.

Moving the exception didn't cause problems in
I925ed62bdc808f0e07862f6e0905e80b50fbe942, but in later changes where
we split blockdevice.py up a bit more, we can get a bit tangled with
circular imports.

A majority of the "plugins" aren't implementing the plugin class.
Clearly we need some refactoring of the ideas here. Remove for
simplicity.

Introducing the refactors of the block device to allow a tree-like
configuration, and start using it for the partitions level.

Add a new getval call that allows to retrieve values
from the block device. Also isolating the block device
information into a 'blockdev' dictionary entry, to better
return it with the getval command.
This is a refactor from the original code at
I3600c6a3d663c697b59d91bd3fbb5e408af345e4.

The original approach was to pass each and every command
line parameter to the block device. While the block device
functionality gets extended, this is not any longer practical.
Instead of passing in all the parameters separately this patch
collects these in a YAML file that is passed in to the block device
layer.

During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.
This patch implements partitioning handling.

Block device handling can be somewhat complex - especially
when taking things like md, lvm or encryption into account.
This patch factors out the creation and deletion of the local
loop image device handling into a python library.
The main propose of this patch is to implement the needed
infrastructure. Based on this, more advanced functions can be added.
Example: (advanced) partitioning, LVM, handling different boot
scenarios (BIOS, UEFI, ...), possibility of handling multiple images
(local loop image, iSCSI, physical hard disk, ...), handling of
different filesystems for different partitions / LVs.
