Currently when we build with nbdkit support, libvirt will always try to use nbdkit to access remote disk sources when it is available. But without an up-to-date selinux policy allowing this, it will fail. because the required selinux policies are not yet widely available, we have disabled nbdkit support on rpm builds for all distributions before Fedora 40. Unfortunately, this makes it more difficult to test nbdkit support. After someone updates to the necessary selinux policies, they would also need to rebuild libvirt to enable nbdkit support. By introducing a configure option (nbdkit_config_default), we can build packages with nbdkit support but have it disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Jonathon Jongsma <jjongsma(a)redhat.com&gt; Suggested-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna(a)redhat.com&gt; --- Sorry for the delay in getting out a new version. Thanksgiving break in the USA, etc. Changes in v3: - nbdkit_config_default changed from a meson 'boolean' to a meson 'feature' configure option - print error message for senseless configurations where nbdkit is disabled but nbdkit_config_default is enabled - added a comment to example config file about possibility of the default value changing in the future - don't include the storage_use_nbdkit in the config file if nbdkit support is not compiled in. I used the same strategy that is used in the remote driver where certain config options are disabled based on whether WITH_IP is defined or not. When WITH_NBDKIT is not defined, the value is not included in the config file and we don't attempt to parse it from the config file either. libvirt.spec.in | 18 +++++++-- meson.build | 10 +++++ meson_options.txt | 3 +- ...libvirtd_qemu.aug => libvirtd_qemu.aug.in} | 7 ++++ src/qemu/meson.build | 37 ++++++++++++++++++- src/qemu/qemu.conf.in | 13 +++++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 19 ++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 3 ++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 15 +++++--- 10 files changed, 114 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) rename src/qemu/{libvirtd_qemu.aug => libvirtd_qemu.aug.in} (98%) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index f3fdedfde4..7aa497a565 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -96,6 +96,7 @@ %define with_sanlock 0 %define with_numad 0 %define with_nbdkit 0 +%define with_nbdkit_config_default 0 %define with_firewalld_zone 0 %define with_netcf 0 %define with_libssh2 0 @@ -174,15 +175,17 @@ %endif %endif -# We should only enable nbdkit support if the OS ships a SELinux policy that -# allows libvirt to launch it.
