A long time ago we introduced a dummy tap device (e.g. virbr0-nic) that
we attached to the bridge device created for virtual networks:
commit 5754dbd56d
Author: Laine Stump <laine@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Feb 9 03:28:12 2011 -0500
Give each virtual network bridge its own fixed MAC address
This was a hack to workaround a Linux kernel bug where it would not
honour any attempt to set a MAC address on a bridge. Instead the
bridge would adopt the numerically lowest MAC address of all NICs
attached to the bridge. This lead to the MAC addrss of the bridge
changing over time as NICs were attached/detached.
The Linux bug was actually fixed 3 years before the libvirt
workaround was added in:
commit 92c0574f11598c8036f81e27d2e8bdd6eed7d76d
Author: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>
Date: Tue Jun 17 16:10:06 2008 -0700
bridge: make bridge address settings sticky
Normally, the bridge just chooses the smallest mac address as the
bridge id and mac address of bridge device. But if the administrator
has explictly set the interface address then don't change it.

but libvirt needed to support RHEL-5 kernels at that time, so
none the less added the workaround.
We have long since dropped support for RHEL-5 vintage distros,
so there's no reason to keep the dummy tap device for the purpose
of setting the bridge MAC address.
Later the dummy TAP device was used for a second purpose related
to IPv6 DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) in:
commit db488c7917
Author: Benjamin Cama <benoar@dolka.fr>
Date: Wed Sep 26 21:02:20 2012 +0200
network: fix dnsmasq/radvd binding to IPv6 on recent kernels
This was again dealing with a regression in the Linux kernel, where
if there were no devices attached to the bridge in the UP state,
IPv6 DAD would not be performed. The virbr0-nic was attached but
in the DOWN state, so the above libvirt fix tenporarily brought
the NIC online. The Linux commit causing the problem was in v2.6.38
commit 1faa4356a3bd89ea11fb92752d897cff3a20ec0e
Author: stephen hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>
Date: Mon Mar 7 08:34:06 2011 +0000
bridge: control carrier based on ports online
A short while later Linux was tweaked so that DAD would still occur
if the bridge had no attached devices at all in 3.1:
commit b64b73d7d0c480f75684519c6134e79d50c1b341
Author: stephen hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>
Date: Mon Oct 3 18:14:45 2011 +0000
bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridge
IOW, the only reason we need the DAD hack of bringing virbr0-nic
online is because virbr0-nic exists. Once it doesn't exist, then
we hit the "empty bridge" case which works in Linux.
We can rely on distros having Linux kernel >= 3.1, so both things
that the virbr0-nic are doing are redundant.

Consider a host with 8 CPUs. There are the following possible scenarios
1. Bare metal; libvirtd has affinity of 8 CPUs; QEMU should get 8 CPUs
2. Bare metal; libvirtd has affinity of 2 CPUs; QEMU should get 8 CPUs
3. Container has affinity of 8 CPUs; libvirtd has affinity of 8 CPus;
QEMU should get 8 CPUs
4. Container has affinity of 8 CPUs; libvirtd has affinity of 2 CPus;
QEMU should get 8 CPUs
5. Container has affinity of 4 CPUs; libvirtd has affinity of 4 CPus;
QEMU should get 4 CPUs
6. Container has affinity of 4 CPUs; libvirtd has affinity of 2 CPus;
QEMU should get 4 CPUs
Scenarios 1 & 2 always work unless systemd restricted libvirtd privs.
Scenario 3 works because libvirt checks current affinity first and
skips the sched_setaffinity call, avoiding the SYS_NICE issue
Scenario 4 works only if CAP_SYS_NICE is availalbe
Scenarios 5 & 6 works only if CAP_SYS_NICE is present *AND* the cgroups
cpuset is not set on the container.
If libvirt blindly ignores the sched_setaffinity failure, then scenarios
4, 5 and 6 should all work, but with caveat in case 4 and 6, that
QEMU will only get 2 CPUs instead of the possible 8 and 4 respectively.
This is still better than failing.
Therefore libvirt can blindly ignore the setaffinity failure, but *ONLY*
ignore it when there was no affinity specified in the XML config.
If user specified affinity explicitly, libvirt must report an error if
it can't be honoured.

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

In 6.7.0 release I've changed how domain namespace is built and
populated. Previously it used to be done from a pre-exec hook
(ran in the forked off child, just before dropping all privileges
and exec()-ing QEMU), which not only meant we had to have two
different code paths for creating a node in domain's namespace
(one for this pre-exec hook, the other for hotplug ran from the
daemon), it also proved problematic because it was leaking FDs
into QEMU process.
To mitigate this problem, we've not only ditched libdevmapper
from the NS population process, I've also dropped the pre-exec
code and let the NS be populated from the daemon (using the
hotplug code). But, I was not careful when doing so, because the
pre-exec code was tolerant to files that doesn't exist, while
this new code isn't. For instance, the very first thing that is
done when the new NS is created is it's populated with
@defaultDeviceACL which contain files like /dev/null, /dev/zero,
/dev/random and /dev/kvm (and others). While the rest will
probably exist every time, /dev/kvm might not and thus the new
code I wrote has to be tolerant to that.
Of course, users can override the @defaultDeviceACL (by setting
cgroup_device_acl in qemu.conf) and remove /dev/kvm (which is
acceptable workaround), but we definitely want libvirt to work
out of the box even on hosts without KVM.

The systemd .socket unit files we ship for libvirt daemons use
SocketMode=0666 on the assumption that libvirt is built with
polkit which provides access control.
Some people, however, may have explicitly turned off polkit at
build time and not realize that leaves them insecure unless
they also change the SocketMode. This addresses that problem
by making the SocketMode default to 0600 when polkit is
disabled at compile time.
Note we cannot automatically fix the case where the user
compiles polkit, but then overrides the libvirtd.conf defaults
to disable polkit. This is what lead to CVE-2020-15708 in
Ubuntu 20.10. We can at least improve the inline comments
in the config file to give a clearer warning though, which
may have helped avoid the mistaken config.

qemuAgentFSInfoToPublic() currently only sets the devAlias for PCI devices.
However, the QEMU guest agent could also provide the device name in the
"dev" field of the response for other devices instead (well, at least after
fixing another problem in the current QEMU guest agent...). So if creating
the devAlias from the PCI information failed, let's fall back to the name
provided by the guest agent. This helps to fix the empty "Target" fields
that occur when running "virsh domfsinfo" on s390x where CCW devices are
used for the guest instead of PCI devices.
Also add a proper debug message here in case we completely failed to set the
device alias, since this problem here was very hard to debug: The only two
error messages that I've seen were "Unable to get filesystem information"
and "Unable to encode message payload" - which only indicates that something
went wrong in the RPC call. No debug message indicated the real problem, so
I had to learn the hard way why the RPC call failed (it apparently does not
like devAlias left to be NULL) and where the real problem comes from.

This change models Xen's permissive setting by adding a writeFiltering
attribute on the <source> element of a PCI hostdev. When writeFiltering
is set to 'no', the Xen permissive setting will be enabled and guests
will be able to write any values into the device's configuration space.
