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.

Michal Privoznik cf976d9dcf qemu: Label all TAP FDs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095636

When starting up the domain the domain's NICs are allocated. As of
1f24f682 (v1.0.6) we are able to use multiqueue feature on virtio
NICs. It breaks network processing into multiple queues which can be
processed in parallel by different host CPUs. The queues are, however,
created by opening /dev/net/tun several times. Unfortunately, only the
first FD in the row is labelled so when turning the multiqueue feature
on in the guest, qemu will get AVC denial. Make sure we label all the
FDs needed.

Moreover, the default label of /dev/net/tun doesn't allow
attaching a queue:

    type=AVC msg=audit(1399622478.790:893): avc:  denied  { attach_queue }
    for  pid=7585 comm="qemu-kvm"
    scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c638,c877
    tcontext=system_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
    tclass=tun_socket

And as suggested by SELinux maintainers, the tun FD should be labeled
as svirt_t. Therefore, we don't need to adjust any range (as done
previously by Guannan in ae368ebf) rather set the seclabel of the
domain directly.

         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.
