If user starts a blockcommit or a blockcopy then we modify access for qemu on both images and leave it like that until the job terminates. So far so good. Problem is, if user instead of terminating the job (where we would modify the access again so that the state before the job is restored) calls destroy on the domain or if qemu dies whilst executing the block job. In this case we don't ever clear the access we granted at the beginning. To fix this, maybe a bit harsh approach is used, but it works: after all labels were restored (that is after qemuSecurityRestoreAllLabel() was called), we iterate over each disk in the domain and remove XATTRs from the whole backing chain and also from any file the disk is being mirrored to. This would have been done at the time of pivot, but it isn't because user decided to kill the domain instead. If we don't do this and leave some XATTRs behind the domain might be unable to start. Also, secdriver can't do this because it doesn't know if there is any job running. It's outside of its scope - the hypervisor driver is responsible for calling secdriver's APIs. Moreover, this is safe to call because we don't remember labels for any member of a backing chain except of the top layer. But that one was restored in qemuSecurityRestoreAllLabel() call done earlier. Therefore, not only we don't remember labels (and thus this is basically a NOP for other images in the backing chain) it is also safe to call this when no blockjob was started in the first place, or if some parts of the backing chain are shared with some other domains - this is NOP, unless a block job is active at the time of domain destroy. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1741456#c19 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> |

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
https://libvirt.org/contribute.html
Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
