https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964358 POSIX states that multi-threaded apps should not use functions that are not async-signal-safe between fork and exec, yet we were using getpwuid_r and initgroups. Although rare, it is possible to hit deadlock in the child, when it tries to grab a mutex that was already held by another thread in the parent. I actually hit this deadlock when testing multiple domains being started in parallel with a command hook, with the following backtrace in the child: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fd56bbf2700 (LWP 3212)): #0 __lll_lock_wait () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:136 #1 0x00007fd5761e7388 in _L_lock_854 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x00007fd5761e7257 in __pthread_mutex_lock (mutex=0x7fd56be00360) at pthread_mutex_lock.c:61 #3 0x00007fd56bbf9fc5 in _nss_files_getpwuid_r (uid=0, result=0x7fd56bbf0c70, buffer=0x7fd55c2a65f0 "", buflen=1024, errnop=0x7fd56bbf25b8) at nss_files/files-pwd.c:40 #4 0x00007fd575aeff1d in __getpwuid_r (uid=0, resbuf=0x7fd56bbf0c70, buffer=0x7fd55c2a65f0 "", buflen=1024, result=0x7fd56bbf0cb0) at ../nss/getXXbyYY_r.c:253 #5 0x00007fd578aebafc in virSetUIDGID (uid=0, gid=0) at util/virutil.c:1031 #6 0x00007fd578aebf43 in virSetUIDGIDWithCaps (uid=0, gid=0, capBits=0, clearExistingCaps=true) at util/virutil.c:1388 #7 0x00007fd578a9a20b in virExec (cmd=0x7fd55c231f10) at util/vircommand.c:654 #8 0x00007fd578a9dfa2 in virCommandRunAsync (cmd=0x7fd55c231f10, pid=0x0) at util/vircommand.c:2247 #9 0x00007fd578a9d74e in virCommandRun (cmd=0x7fd55c231f10, exitstatus=0x0) at util/vircommand.c:2100 #10 0x00007fd56326fde5 in qemuProcessStart (conn=0x7fd53c000df0, driver=0x7fd55c0dc4f0, vm=0x7fd54800b100, migrateFrom=0x0, stdin_fd=-1, stdin_path=0x0, snapshot=0x0, vmop=VIR_NETDEV_VPORT_PROFILE_OP_CREATE, flags=1) at qemu/qemu_process.c:3694 ... The solution is to split the work of getpwuid_r/initgroups into the unsafe portions (getgrouplist, called pre-fork) and safe portions (setgroups, called post-fork). * src/util/virutil.h (virSetUIDGID, virSetUIDGIDWithCaps): Adjust signature. * src/util/virutil.c (virSetUIDGID): Add parameters. (virSetUIDGIDWithCaps): Adjust clients. * src/util/vircommand.c (virExec): Likewise. * src/util/virfile.c (virFileAccessibleAs, virFileOpenForked) (virDirCreate): Likewise. * src/security/security_dac.c (virSecurityDACSetProcessLabel): Likewise. * src/lxc/lxc_container.c (lxcContainerSetID): Likewise. * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for setgroups, not initgroups. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit ee777e994927ed5f2d427fbc5a53cbe8b5969bda) Conflicts: src/lxc/lxc_container.c - did not use setUIDGID before 1.1.0 src/util/virutil.c - oom handling changes not backported src/util/virfile.c - functions still lived in virutil.c this far back configure.ac - context with previous commit
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.
