In selinux driver there's virSecuritySELinuxSetFileconImpl() which is responsible for actual setting of SELinux label on given file and handling possible failures. In fhe failure handling code we decide whether failure is fatal or not. But there is a bug: depending on SELinux mode (Permissive vs. Enforcing) the ENOENT is either ignored or considered fatal. This not correct - ENOENT must always be fatal for couple of reasons: - In virSecurityStackTransactionCommit() the seclabels are set for individual secdrivers (e.g. SELinux first and then DAC), but if one secdriver succeeds and another one fails, then no rollback is performed for the successful one leaking remembered labels. - QEMU would fail opening the file anyways (if neither of secdrivers reported error and thus cancelled domain startup) Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2004850 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>
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.
