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

Not necessary for 1.0.5, but figured I'd put it out there now. 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). 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" John Ferlan (4): docs: Fix syntax in sysinfo description docs: Update description of SMBIOS fields Validate the bios_date format for <sysinfo> Need better validation of <sysinfo> uuid docs/formatdomain.html.in | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 85 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-)
