A need was found to set the SELinux context label on an open fd (a pipe, as a matter of fact). This patch adds a function to the security driver API that will set the label on an open fd to secdef.label. For all drivers other than the SELinux driver, it's a NOP. For the SElinux driver, it calls fsetfilecon(). If the return is a failure, it only returns error up to the caller if 1) the desired label is different from the existing label, 2) the destination fd is of a type that supports setting the selinux context, and 3) selinux is in enforcing mode. Otherwise it will return success. This follows the pattern of the existing function SELinuxSetFilecon().
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.
