When creating a disk image snapshot the libvirt code would blindly copy the parents label to the newly created image. This runs into problems when you start a VM from an image hosted on NFS (or other storage system that doesn't support selinux labels) and the snapshot destination is on a storage system that does support selinux labels. Libvirt's code in that case generates a different security label for the image hosted on NFS. This label is valid only for NFS images and doesn't allow access in case of a locally stored image. To fix this issue libvirt needs to refrain from copying security information in cases where the default domain seclabel is a better choice. This patch repurposes the now unused @force argument of virStorageSourceInitChainElement to denote whether a copy of the security labelling stuff should be attempted or not. This allows to fine-control the copy operation for cases where we need to keep the label of the old disk vs. the cases where we need to keep the label unset to use the default domain imagelabel.

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.
