When splitting out the apparmor modular daemon profiles from the libvirtd profile, the net_admin and sys_admin capabilities were dropped from the virtxend profile. It was not known at the time that these capabilities were needed for PCI passthrough. Without the capabilities, the following messages are emitted from the audit subsystem audit: type=1400 audit(1702939277.946:63): apparmor="DENIED" \ operation="capable" class="cap" profile="virtxend" pid=3611 \ comm="rpc-virtxend" capability=21 capname="sys_admin" audit: type=1400 audit(1702940304.818:63): apparmor="DENIED" \ operation="capable" class="cap" profile="virtxend" pid=3731 \ comm="rpc-virtxend" capability=12 capname="net_admin" It appears sys_admin is needed to simply read from the PCI dev's sysfs config file. The net_admin capability is needed when setting the MAC address of an SR-IOV virtual function. Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
