adds a new python API call for retrieving the running
hypervisor version used by a connection: virConnectGetVersion
* python/generator.py: skip virConnectGetVersion from autogenerated
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml python/libvirt-override.c: define
direct native bindings
Fix a small problem with the qemu memory stats parsing algorithm. If qemu
reports a stat that libvirt does not recognize, skip past it so parsing can
continue. This corrects a potential infinite loop in the parsing code that can
only be triggered if new statistics are added to qemu.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: qemuMonitorParseExtraBalloonInfo add a
skip for extra ','
The loop looking for the controller associated with a SCI drive had
an off by one, causing it to miss the last controller.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix off-by-1 in searching for SCSI
drive hotplug
The hotplug code in QEMU was leaking memory because although the
inner device object was being moved into the main virDomainDefPtr
config object, the outer container virDomainDeviceDefPtr was not.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Clarify code to show that the inner
device object is owned by the main domain config upon
successfull attach.
Add the ability to turn off dynamic management of file permissions
for libvirt guests.
* qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug: Support 'dynamic_ownership' flag
* qemu/qemu.conf: Document 'dynamic_ownership' flag.
* qemu/qemu_conf.c: Load 'dynamic_ownership' flag
* qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug: Test 'dynamic_ownership' flag
The hotplug code was not correctly invoking the security driver
in error paths. If a hotplug attempt failed, the device would
be left with VM permissions applied, rather than restored to the
original permissions. Also, a CDROM media that is ejected was
not restored to original permissions. Finally there was a bogus
call to set hostdev permissions in the hostdev unplug code
* qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix security driver usage in hotplug/unplug
If there is a problem with VM startup, PCI devices may be left
assigned to pci-stub / pci-back. Adding a call to reattach
host devices in the cleanup path is required.
* qemu/qemu_driver.c: qemuDomainReAttachHostDevices() when
VM startup fails
Remove all the QEMU driver calls for setting file ownership and
process uid/gid. Instead wire in the QEMU DAC security driver,
stacking it ontop of the primary SELinux/AppArmour driver.
* qemu/qemu_driver.c: Switch over to new DAC security driver
This new security driver is responsible for managing UID/GID changes
to the QEMU process, and any files/disks/devices assigned to it.
* qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add flag for disabling automatic file permission
changes
* qemu/qemu_security_dac.h, qemu/qemu_security_dac.c: New DAC driver
for QEMU guests
* Makefile.am: Add new files
Pulling the disk labelling code out of the exec hook, and into
libvirtd will allow it to access shared state in the daemon. It
will also make debugging & error reporting easier / more reliable.
* qemu/qemu_driver.c: Move initial disk labelling calls up into
libvirtd. Add cleanup of disk labels upon failure
If a VM fails to start, we can't simply free the security label
strings, we must call the domainReleaseSecurityLabel() method
otherwise the reserved 'mcs' level will be leaked in SElinux
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Invoke domainReleaseSecurityLabel()
when domain fails to start
The current security driver architecture has the following
split of logic
* domainGenSecurityLabel
Allocate the unique label for the domain about to be started
* domainGetSecurityLabel
Retrieve the current live security label for a process
* domainSetSecurityLabel
Apply the previously allocated label to the current process
Setup all disk image / device labelling
* domainRestoreSecurityLabel
Restore the original disk image / device labelling.
Release the unique label for the domain
The 'domainSetSecurityLabel' method is special because it runs
in the context of the child process between the fork + exec.
This is require in order to set the process label. It is not
required in order to label disks/devices though. Having the
disk labelling code run in the child process limits what it
can do.
In particularly libvirtd would like to remember the current
disk image label, and only change shared image labels for the
first VM to start. This requires use & update of global state
in the libvirtd daemon, and thus cannot run in the child
process context.
The solution is to split domainSetSecurityLabel into two parts,
one applies process label, and the other handles disk image
labelling. At the same time domainRestoreSecurityLabel is
similarly split, just so that it matches the style. Thus the
previous 4 methods are replaced by the following 6 new methods
* domainGenSecurityLabel
Allocate the unique label for the domain about to be started
No actual change here.
* domainReleaseSecurityLabel
Release the unique label for the domain
* domainGetSecurityProcessLabel
Retrieve the current live security label for a process
Merely renamed for clarity.
* domainSetSecurityProcessLabel
Apply the previously allocated label to the current process
* domainRestoreSecurityAllLabel
Restore the original disk image / device labelling.
* domainSetSecurityAllLabel
Setup all disk image / device labelling
The SELinux and AppArmour drivers are then updated to comply with
this new spec. Notice that the AppArmour driver was actually a
little different. It was creating its profile for the disk image
and device labels in the 'domainGenSecurityLabel' method, where as
the SELinux driver did it in 'domainSetSecurityLabel'. With the
new method split, we can have consistency, with both drivers doing
that in the domainSetSecurityAllLabel method.
NB, the AppArmour changes here haven't been compiled so may not
build.
The QEMU driver is doing 90% of the calls to check for static vs
dynamic labelling. Except it is forgetting todo so in many places,
in particular hotplug is mistakenly assigning disk labels. Move
all this logic into the security drivers themselves, so the HV
drivers don't have to think about it.
* src/security/security_driver.h: Add virDomainObjPtr parameter
to virSecurityDomainRestoreHostdevLabel and to
virSecurityDomainRestoreSavedStateLabel
* src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/security_apparmor.c:
Add explicit checks for VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_STATIC and skip all
chcon() code in those cases
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove all checks for VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_STATIC
or VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_DYNAMIC. Add missing checks for possibly NULL
driver entry points.
Allows the initiator to use a variety of IQNs rather than just the
system IQN when creating iSCSI pools.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: extends the syntax with <iqn name="..."/>
* src/conf/storage_conf.[ch]: read and stores the iqn name
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.[ch]: implement the IQN selection
when detected

src/network/bridge_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
src/uml/uml_driver.c: virFileMakePath returns 0 for success, or the
value of errno on failure, so error checking should be to test
if non-zero, not if lower than 0
Previously the uid/gid/mode in the xml was ignored when creating new
storage pool directories. This commit attempts to honor the requested
permissions, and spits out an error if it can't.
Note that when creating the directory, the rest of the path leading up
to the final element is created using current uid/gid/mode, and the
final element gets the settings from xml. It is NOT an error for the
directory to already exist; in this case, the perms for the existing
directory are just set (if necessary).
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: update the virStorageBackendFileSystemBuild
function to check the directory hierarchy separately then create the
leaf directory with the right attributes
In order to avoid problems trying to chown files that were created by
root on a root-squashing nfs server, fork a new process that setuid's
to the desired uid before creating the file. (It's only done this way
if the pool containing the new volume is of type 'netfs', otherwise
the old method of creating the file followed by chown() is used.)
This changes the semantics of the "create_func" slightly - previously
it was assumed that this function just created the file, then the
caller would chown it to the desired uid. Now, create_func does both
operations.
There are multiple functions that can take on the role of create_func:
createFileDir - previously called mkdir(), now calls virDirCreate().
virStorageBackendCreateRaw - previously called open(),
now calls virFileCreate().
virStorageBackendCreateQemuImg - use virRunWithHook() to setuid/gid.
virStorageBackendCreateQcowCreate - same.
virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom - preserve old behavior (but attempt
chown when necessary even if not root)
* src/storage/storage_backend.[ch] src/storage/storage_backend_disk.c
src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c
src/storage/storage_driver.c: change the create_func implementations,
also propagate the pool information to be able to detect NETFS ones.
These functions create a new file or directory with the given
uid/gid. If the flag VIR_FILE_CREATE_AS_UID is given, they do this by
forking a new process, calling setuid/setgid in the new process, and
then creating the file. This is better than simply calling open then
fchown, because in the latter case, a root-squashing nfs server would
create the new file as user nobody, then refuse to allow fchown.
If VIR_FILE_CREATE_AS_UID is not specified, the simpler tactic of
creating the file/dir, then chowning is is used. This gives better
results in cases where the parent directory isn't on a root-squashing
NFS server, but doesn't give permission for the specified uid/gid to
create files. (Note that if the fork/setuid method fails to create the
file due to access privileges, the parent process will make a second
attempt using this simpler method.)
If the bit VIR_FILE_CREATE_ALLOW_EXIST is set in the flags, an
existing file/directory will not cause an error; in this case, the
function will simply set the permissions of the file/directory to
those requested. If VIR_FILE_CREATE_ALLOW_EXIST is not specified, an
existing file/directory is considered (and reported as) an error.
Return from both of these functions is 0 on success, or the value of
errno if there was a failure.
* src/util/util.[ch]: add the 2 new util functions
The test expected all environment variables copied in qemudBuildCommandLine
to have known values. So all of them have to be either set to a known value
or be unset. SDL_VIDEODRIVER and QEMU_AUDIO_DRV are not handled at all but
should be handled. Unset both, otherwise the test will fail if they are set
in the testing environment.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: add a comment about copied environment variables
and qemuxml2argvtest
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER and QEMU_AUDIO_DRV
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainChrDefFormat): Plug a leak on
an error path, and at the same time, eliminate the need for a
"cleanup:" block. Before, the "return -1" after the switch
would leak an "addr" string. Now, by reversing the port,addr-
getting blocks we can free "addr" immediately and skip the goto.
The 'int virInterfaceIsActive()' method was directly returning the
value of the 'int active:1' bitfield in virIntefaceDefPtr. A bitfield
with a signed integer, will hold the values 0 and -1, not 0 and +1
as might be expected. This meant that virInterfaceIsActive() was
always returning -1 when the interface was active, not +1 & thus all
callers thought an error had occurred. To protect against this kind
of mistake again, change all bitfields to be unsigned ints
* daemon/libvirtd.h, src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/interface_conf.h,
src/conf/network_conf.h: Change bitfields to unsigned int.
Invoking the virConnectGetCapabilities() method causes the QEMU
driver to rebuild its internal capabilities object. Unfortunately
it was forgetting to register the custom domain status XML hooks
again.
To avoid this kind of error in the future, the code which builds
capabilities is refactored into one single method, which can be
called from all locations, ensuring reliable rebuilds.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix rebuilding of capabilities XML and
guarentee it is always consistent
* src/util/logging.c (virLogMessage): Include "ignore-value.h".
Use it to ignore the return value of safewrite.
Use STDERR_FILENO, rather than "2".
* bootstrap (modules): Add ignore-value.
* gnulib: Update to latest, for ignore-value that is now LGPLv2+.
The RNG now supports IPv6 and bonds attached to bridges, along with
some other minor tweaks. All test files from netcf have been copied to
the test directory and added to the xml2xml and schema tests (and they
all pass, of course ;-)
This was accomplished in xml parsing by doing away with the
stripped-down virInterfaceBareDef object, and just always using
virInterfaceDef, but with restrictions in certain places (eg, the type
of subordinate interface allowed in parsing depends on the parent
interface).
xml formatting was similarly adjusted. In addition, the formatting
functions keep track of the level of interface nesting, and insert
extra leading spaces on each line accordingly (using %*s).
The only change in formatted xml from previous (aside frmo supporting
new combinations of interface types) is that the subordinate ethernet
interfaces take up 2 lines rather than one, eg:
<interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'>
</interface>
instead of:
<interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'/>
