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.

John Ferlan 7879d03197 qemu: Don't unconditionally delete file in qemuOpenFileAs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1158034

If we're expecting to create a file somewhere and that fails for some
reason during qemuOpenFileAs, then we unlink the path we're attempting
to create leaving no way to determine what the "existing" privileges,
protections, or labels are that caused the failure (open, change owner
and group, change mode, etc.).

Furthermore, if we fall into the path where we'll be opening / creating
the file using VIR_FILE_OPEN_FORK, we need to first unlink/delete the file
we created in the first path; otherwise, the attempt by the child process
to open as some specific user:group may fail because the file was already
created using nfsnobody:nfsnobody. Again, if we didn't create the file we
don't want to blindly delete what already exists. Thus, a second reason for
the original check to set need_unlink to false when we find the file with
CREAT set, but already existing.

         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.
