When QEMU opens a backing store for a QCow2 file, it will
normally auto-probe for the format of the backing store,
rather than assuming it has the same format as the referencing
file. There is a QCow2 extension that allows an explicit format
for the backing store to be embedded in the referencing file.
This closes the auto-probing security hole in QEMU.
This backing store format can be useful for libvirt users
of virStorageFileGetMetadata, so extract this data and report
it.
QEMU does not require disk image backing store files to be in
the same format the file linkee. It will auto-probe the disk
format for the backing store when opening it. If the backing
store was intended to be a raw file this could be a security
hole, because a guest may have written data into its disk that
then makes the backing store look like a qcow2 file. If it can
trick QEMU into thinking the raw file is a qcow2 file, it can
access arbitrary files on the host by adding further backing
store links.
To address this, callers of virStorageFileGetMeta need to be
told of the backing store format. If no format is declared,
they can make a decision whether to allow format probing or
not.
When QEMU runs with its disk on NFS, and as a non-root user, the
disk is chownd to that non-root user. When migration completes
the last step is shutting down the QEMU on the source host. THis
normally resets user/group/security label. This is bad when the
VM was just migrated because the file is still in use on the dest
host. It is thus neccessary to skip the reset step for any files
found to be on a shared filesystem
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virStorageFileIsSharedFS
* src/util/storage_file.c, src/util/storage_file.h: Add a new
method virStorageFileIsSharedFS() to determine if a file is
on a shared filesystem (NFS, GFS, OCFS2, etc)
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Tell security driver not to reset
disk labels on migration completion
* src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_stacked.c,
src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/security_driver.h,
src/security/security_apparmor.c: Add ability to skip disk
restore step for files on shared filesystems.
Finally, we get to the point of all this.
Move virStorageGetMetadataFromFD() to virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD()
and move to src/util/storage_file.[ch]
There's no functional changes in this patch, just code movement
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: move code from here ...
* src/util/storage_file.[ch]: ... to here
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD()
Introduce a metadata structure and make virStorageGetMetadataFromFD()
fill it in.
* src/util/storage_file.h: add virStorageFileMetadata
* src/backend/storage_backend_fs.c: virStorageGetMetadataFromFD() now
fills in the virStorageFileMetadata structure
Rename virStorageVolFormatFileSystem to virStorageFileFormat and
move to src/util/storage_file.[ch]
* src/Makefile.am: add src/util/storage_file.[ch]
* src/conf/storage_conf.[ch]: move enum from here ...
* src/util/storage_file.[ch]: .. to here
* src/libvirt_private.syms: update To/FromString exports
* src/storage/storage_backend.c, src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c,
src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update for above changes
