Peter Krempa d56afb8e39 qemu: Label backing chain of user-provided target of blockCopy when starting the job
Be more sensible when setting labels of the target of a
virDomainBlockCopy operation. Previously we'd relabel everything in case
it's a copy job even if there's no unlabelled backing chain. Since we
are also not sure whether the backing chain is shared we don't relabel
the chain on completion of the blockjob. This certainly won't play nice
with the image permission relabelling feature.

While this does not fix the case where the image is reused and has
backing chain it certainly sanitizes all the other cases. Later on it
will also allow to do the correct thing in cases where only one layer
was introduced.

The change is necessary as in case when -blockdev will be used we will
need to hotplug the backing chain and thus labeling needs to be setup in
advance and not only at the time of pivot.  To avoid multiple code paths
move the labeling now.

Build Status CII Best Practices

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:

License

The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.

Installation

Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install

While to build & install as an unprivileged user

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install

The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.

Contributing

The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
