The qemu driver had been calling virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel() from a "pre-exec hook" function that is run after the child is forked, but before exec'ing qemu. This is problematic because the uid and gid of the child are set by the security driver, but capabilities are dropped by virCommand - such separation doesn't work; the two operations must be done together or the capabilities do not transfer properly to the child process. This patch switches to using virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel(), which is called prior to virCommandRun() (rather than being called *during* virCommandrun() by the hook function), and doesn't set the UID/GID/security label directly, but instead merely informs virCommand what it should set them all to when the time is appropriate. This lets virCommand choose to do the uid/gid and caps dropping all at the same time if it wants (it does *want* to, but isn't doing so yet; that's for an upcoming patch).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
