The hook scripts used by virCommand must be careful wrt accessing any mutexes that may have been held by other threads in the parent process. With the recent refactoring there are 2 potential flaws lurking, which will become real deadlock bugs once the global QEMU driver lock is removed. Remove use of the QEMU driver lock from the hook function by passing in the 'virQEMUDriverConfigPtr' instance directly. Add functions to the virSecurityManager to be invoked before and after fork, to ensure the mutex is held by the current thread. This allows it to be safely used in the hook script in the child process. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
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.
