Jim Fehlig 2e8ebfe3fa qemu: Set label on vhostuser net device when hotplugging
Attaching a newly created vhostuser port to a VM fails due to an
apparmor denial

internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'chardev-add': Failed
to bind socket to /run/openvswitch/vhu838c4d29-c9: Permission denied

In the case of a net device type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_VHOSTUSER, the
underlying chardev is not labeled in qemuDomainAttachNetDevice prior
to calling qemuMonitorAttachCharDev.

A simple fix would be to call qemuSecuritySetChardevLabel using the
embedded virDomainChrSourceDef in the virDomainNetDef vhostuser data,
but this incurs the risk of incorrectly restoring the label. E.g.
consider the DAC driver behavior with a vhostuser net device, which
uses a socket for the chardev backend. The DAC driver uses XATTRS to
store original labelling information, but XATTRS are not compatible
with sockets. Without the original labelling information, the socket
labels will be restored with root ownership, preventing other
less-privileged processes from connecting to the socket.

This patch avoids overloading chardev labelling with vhostuser net
devices by introducing virSecurityManager{Set,Restore}NetdevLabel,
which is currently only implemented for the apparmor driver. The
new APIs are then used to set and restore labels for the vhostuser
net devices.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
