[PATCH v2 01/23] iotests: Introduce $SOCK_DIR
Unix sockets generally have a maximum path length. Depending on your $TEST_DIR, it may be exceeded and then all tests that create and use Unix sockets there may fail. Circumvent this by adding a new scratch directory specifically for Unix socket files. It defaults to a temporary directory (mktemp -d) that is completely removed after the iotests are done. (By default, mktemp -d creates a /tmp/tmp.XX directory, which should be short enough for our use cases.) Use mkdir -p to create the directory (because it seems right), and do the same for $TEST_DIR (because there is no reason for that to be created in any different way).

I don’t quite see how this is a security hole. mktemp -d creates the directory, so noone can race us.

Aha - I confused 'mktemp -u' (necessary for creating a socket name) and 'mktemp -d' (for directories). With that confusion cleared up, yes, the directory is safely created (or else the burden is on the caller), so: Reviewed-by: Eric Blake -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
