During startup, the LXC driver uses paths such as
/.oldroot/var/run/libvirt/lxc/...
to access directories from the previous root filesystem
after doing a pivot_root(). Unfortunately if /var/run
is an absolute symlink to /run, instead of a relative
symlink to ../run, these paths break.

Normal practice is for cgroups controllers to be mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroup. When setting up a container, /sys is mounted
with a new sysfs instance, thus we must re-mount all the
cgroups controllers. The complexity is that we must mount
them in the same layout as the host OS. ie if 'cpu' and 'cpuacct'
were mounted at the same location in the host we must preserve
this in the container. Also if any controllers are co-located
we must setup symlinks from the individual controller name to

Instead of hardcoding use of SELinux contexts in the LXC driver,
switch over to using the official security driver API.

Once lxcContainerSetStdio is invoked, logging will not work as
expected in libvirt_lxc. So make sure this is the last thing to
be called, in particular after setting the security process label
The code is splattered with a mix of
sizeof foo
sizeof (foo)
sizeof(foo)
Standardize on sizeof(foo) and add a syntax check rule to
enforce it

If no <interface> elements are included in an LXC guest XML
description, then the LXC guest will just see the host's
network interfaces. It is desirable to be able to hide the
host interfaces, without having to define any guest interfaces.
This patch introduces a new feature flag <privnet/> to allow
forcing of a private network namespace for LXC. In the future
I also anticipate that we will add <privuser/> to force a
private user ID namespace.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add support
for <privnet/> feature. Auto-set <privnet> if any <interface>
devices are defined

namespace
This patch fixes the access of variable "con" in two files where the
variable was declared only on SELinux builds and thus the build failed
without SELinux. It's a rather nasty fix but helps fix the build
quickly and without any major changes to the code.
To allow the container to access /dev and /dev/pts when under
sVirt, set an explicit mount option. Also set a max size on
the /dev mount to prevent DOS on memory usage

* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Set /dev/pts mount context
For the sake of backwards compat, LXC guests are *not*
confined by default. This is because it is not practical
to dynamically relabel containers using large filesystem
trees. Applications can create confined containers though,
by giving suitable XML configs

Systemd detects containers based on whether they have
an environment variable starting with 'container=lxc';
using a longer name fits the expectations, while also
allowing detection of who created the container.

The current setup code for LXC is bind mounting /dev/pts/ptmx
on top of a character device /dev/ptmx. This is denied by SELinux
policy and is just wrong. The target of a bind mount should just
be a plain file
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Don't bind /dev/pts/ptmx onto
a char device
Given an LXC guest with a root filesystem path of
/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root
During startup, we will pivot the root filesystem to end up
at
/.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root
We then try to open
/.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
Now consider if '/export/lxc' is an absolute symlink pointing
to '/media/lxc'. The kernel will try to open
/media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
whereas it should be trying to open
/.oldroot//media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
To deal with the fact that the root filesystem can be moved,
we need to resolve symlinks in *any* part of the filesystem
source path.
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/util.c,
src/util/util.h: Add virFileResolveAllLinks to resolve
all symlinks in a path

Currently the LXC controller only supports setup of a single
text console. This is wired up to the container init's stdio,
as well as /dev/console and /dev/tty1. Extending support for
multiple consoles, means wiring up additional PTYs to /dev/tty2,
/dev/tty3, etc, etc. The LXC controller is passed multiple open
file handles, one for each console requested.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c, src/lxc/lxc_container.h: Wire up
all the /dev/ttyN links required to symlink to /dev/pts/NN
* src/lxc/lxc_container.h: Open more container side /dev/pts/NN
devices, and adapt event loop to handle I/O from all consoles
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Setup multiple host side PTYs
The LXC code for mounting container filesystems from block devices
tries all filesystems in /etc/filesystems and possibly those in
/proc/filesystems. The regular mount binary, however, first tries
using libblkid to detect the format. Add support for doing the same
in libvirt, since Fedora's /etc/filesystems is missing many formats,
most notably ext4 which is the default filesystem Fedora uses!
* src/Makefile.am: Link libvirt_lxc to libblkid
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Probe filesystem format with libblkid
If we looped through /etc/filesystems trying to mount with each
type and failed all options, we forget to actually raise an
error message.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Raise error if unable to detect
the filesystems. Also fix existing error message
The kernel automounter is mostly broken wrt to containers. Most
notably if you start a new filesystem namespace and then attempt
to unmount any autofs filesystem, it will typically fail with a
weird error message like
Failed to unmount '/.oldroot/sys/kernel/security':Too many levels of symbolic links
Attempting to detach the autofs mount using umount2(MNT_DETACH)
will also fail with the same error. Therefore if we get any error on
unmount()ing a filesystem from the old root FS when starting a
container, we must immediately break out and detach the entire
old root filesystem (ignoring any mounts below it).
This has the effect of making the old root filesystem inaccessible
to anything inside the container, but at the cost that the mounts
live on in the kernel until the container exits. Given that SystemD
uses autofs by default, we need LXC to be robust this scenario and
thus this tradeoff is worthwhile.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Detach root filesystem if any umount
operation fails.
The /etc/filesystems file can contain a '*' on the last line to
indicate that /proc/filessystems should be tried next. We have
a check that this '*' only occurs on the last line. Unfortunately
when we then start reading /proc/filesystems, we mistakenly think
we've seen '*' in /proc/filesystems and fail
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Skip '*' validation when we're reading
/proc/filesystems
Only some of the return paths of lxcContainerWaitForContinue will
have set errno. In other paths we need to set it manually to avoid
the caller getting a random stale errno value
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Set errno in lxcContainerWaitForContinue
Based on a report by Coverity. waitpid() can leak resources if it
fails with EINTR, so it should never be used without checking return
status. But we already have a helper function that does that, so
use it in more places.

virWaitPid.

Likewise.

When booting a virtual machine with a kernel/initrd it is possible
to pass command line arguments using the <cmdline>...args...</cmdline>
element in the guest XML. These appear to the kernel / init process
in /proc/cmdline.
When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline,
but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally
we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a
regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve
libvirt parsing the <cmdline> XML text. This can easily be added
later, even if we add the env variable now
* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document env variables passed to LXC
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add <cmdline> to be parsed for
guests of type='exe'
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Set LIBVIRT_LXC_CMDLINE env var
Hi,
I'm seeing an issue with udev and libvirt-lxc. Libvirt-lxc creates
/dev/ptmx as a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. When udev starts up, it
checks the device type, sees ptmx is 'not right', and replaces it
with a 'proper' ptmx.
In lxc, /dev/ptmx is bind-mounted from /dev/pts/ptmx instead of being
symlinked, so udev sees the right device type and leaves it alone.
A patch like the following seems to work for me. Would there be
any objections to this?

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] make ptmx a bind mount rather than symlink
udev on some systems checks the device type of /dev/ptmx, and replaces it if
not as expected. The symlink created by libvirt-lxc therefore gets replaced.
By creating it as a bind mount, the device type is correct and udev leaves it
alone.

A previous commit gave the LXC driver the ability to mount
block devices for the container filesystem. Through use of
the loopback device functionality, we can build on this to
support use of plain file images for LXC filesytems.
By setting the LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR flag we can ensure that
the loop device automatically disappears when the container
dies / shuts down
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Raise error if we see a file
based filesystem, since it should have been turned into
a loopback device already
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Rewrite any filesystems of
type=file, into type=block, by binding the file image
to a free loop device
Currently the LXC driver can only populate filesystems from
host filesystems, using bind mounts. This patch allows host
block devices to be mounted. It autodetects the filesystem
format at mount time, and adds the block device to the cgroups
ACL. Example usage is
<filesystem type='block' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dev='/dev/sda1'/>
<target dir='/home'/>
</filesystem>
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Mount block device filesystems
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Add block device filesystems
to cgroups ACL
An application container shouldn't get a private /dev. Fix
the regression from 6d37888e6a
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Don't mount /dev for app containers
A container should not be allowed to modify stuff in /sys
or /proc/sys so make them readonly. Make /selinux readonly
so that containers think that selinux is disabled.
Honour the readonly flag when mounting container filesystems
from the guest XML config
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Support readonly mounts
Even in non-virtual root filesystem mode we should be mounting
more than just a new /proc. Refactor lxcContainerMountBasicFS
so that it does everything except for /dev and /dev/pts moving
that into lxcContainerMountDevFS. Pass in a source prefix
to lxcContainerMountBasicFS() so it can be used in both shared
root and private root modes.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Unify mounting code for special
filesystems
The bind mount setup is about to get more complicated.
To avoid having to deal with several copies, pull it
out into a separate lxcContainerMountFSBind method.
Also pull out the iteration over container filesystems,
so that it will be easier to drop in support for non-bind
mount filesystems
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Pull bind mount code out into
lxcContainerMountFSBind
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c (lxcOpen, lxcDomainSetMemoryParameters)
(lxcDomainGetMemoryParameters): Reject unknown flags.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c (lxcContainerStart): Rename flags to
cflags to reflect that it is not tied to libvirt.
Some callers expected virFileMakePath to set errno, some expected
it to return an errno value. Unify this to return 0 on success and
-1 on error. Set errno to report detailed error information.
Also optimize virFileMakePath if stat fails with an errno different
from ENOENT.
Add a simple handshake with the lxc_controller process so we can detect
process startup failures. We do this by adding a new --handshake cli arg
to lxc_controller for passing a file descriptor. If the process fails to
launch, we scrape all output from the logfile and report it to the user.
