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.
Commit a885334499 added this
function and wrapped vah_add_file in it. vah_add_file may
return -1, 0, 1. It returns 1 in case the call to valid_path
detects a restricted file. The original code treated a return
value != 0 as error. The refactored code treats a return
value < 0 as error. This triggers segfault in virt-aa-helper
and breaks virt-aa-helper-test for the restricted file tests.
Make sure that add_file_path returns -1 on error.
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.
