Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/4] Extra validation for the <sysinfo> section

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890494 The <sysinfo> section needs an extra uuid validation check. The current check compares the numerical sysinfo/system_uuid with the domain uuid; however, it's possible that someone added extra hyphens into the sysinfo uuid which results in the inability to start the domain (at least qemu). Rather than fail due to improper format, adjust/save to the expected format. The bug report indicates the 'date' field should at least be syntax checked based on what's desribed in the SMBIOS spec. From the spec: "String number of the BIOS release date. The date string, if supplied, is in either mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy format. If the year portion of the string is two digits, the year is assumed to be 19yy. NOTE: The mm/dd/yyyy format is required for SMBIOS version 2.3 and later" v2 -> v1 differences: - Moved Sysinfo field validation checks from virDomainDefParseXML() into virSysinfoParseXML() - As long as the virUUIDParse() value matches the domain's UUID field save the 'correct' format in the system_uuid field - that is don't error out just because of extraneous space or dash in provided UUID. - Added tests for date field and uuid comparison parsing errors.
