Storage capabilities is used to indicate the static and dynamic ability
of the storage driver object based on current driver implementation or
particular driver configuration and backend status.
Use storage capabilities glance_store can do more proper operations on
backend to support upper layer request, like to enable or disable add()
function to glance, or if allow glance reuse driver instance for all
request according to whether the driver and/or backend is stateless.
This patch implemented some initial capabilities for existing drivers,
and change the foundational code to make them be aware. Mainly it
contains:
1. Implemented essential code to enable driver capabilities, adding
necessary capabilities.
2. Added a generic checker on necessary storage operations, to make sure
the capabilities of the driver are capable of handling requested
operation. We can enhance the check logic as needed easily in future.
3. Added a callback based schedule logic to update dynamic capabilities
of store when operator enabled it by a option.
4. Refactoring on existing disablement logic on driver add() interface,
to use consistent capabilities way to handle it, removed add_disabled().
5. Therefor the related exception conversion logic for other interfaces
are redundant, due to now we can raise proper exception directly from
the checker.
6. Added the logic to recreate drive object if the storage and/or driver
isn't stateless.
Few minor changes need to be added to Glance side:
