If virDomainAttachDevice() was called with an image that was located
on a root-squashed NFS server, and in a directory that was unreadable
by root on the machine running libvirtd, the attach would fail due to
an attempt to change the selinux label of the image with EACCES (which
isn't covered as an ignore case in SELinuxSetFilecon())
NFS doesn't support SELinux labelling anyway, so we mimic the failure
handling of commit 93a18bbafa, which
just ignores the errors if the target is on an NFS filesystem (in
SELinuxSetSecurityAllLabel() only, though.)
This can be seen as a follow-on to commit
347d266c51, which ignores file open
failures of files on NFS that occur directly in
virDomainDiskDefForeachPath() (also necessary), but does not ignore
failures in functions that are called from there (eg
SELinuxSetSecurityFileLabel()).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
