Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] sec_manager: Refuse to start domain with unsupported seclabel

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947387 If a user configures a domain to use a seclabel of a specific type, but the appropriate driver is not accessible, we should refuse to start the domain. For instance, if user requires selinux, but it is either non present in the system, or is just disabled, we should not start the domain. Moreover, since we are touching only those labels we have a security driver for, the other labels may confuse libvirt when reconnecting to a domain on libvirtd restart. In our selinux example, when starting up a domain, missing security label is okay, as we auto-generate one. But later, when libvirt is re-connecting to a live qemu instance, we parse a state XML, where security label is required and it is an error if missing: error : virSecurityLabelDefParseXML:3228 : XML error: security label is missing This results in a qemu process left behind without any libvirt control. --- src/security/security_manager.c | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
