Yes, that probably needs to happen to libvirt.spec when built for F16 (and thus imported into F15 via virt-preview). I'll tackle that, since I've been making a couple other spec file patches lately. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[libvirt] [PATCH] security: chown/label bidrectional and unidirectional fifos
by Laine Stump 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

This patch fixes the regression with using named pipes for qemu serial devices noted in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740478 The problem was that, while new code in libvirt looks for a single bidirectional fifo of the name given in the config, then relabels that and continues without looking for / relabelling the two unidirectional fifos named ${name}.in and ${name}.out, qemu looks in the opposite order. So if the user had naively created all three fifos, libvirt would relabel the bidirectional fifo to allow qemu access, but qemu would attempt to use the two unidirectional fifos and fail (because it didn't have proper permissions/rights). The solution implemented here is to always look for and chown/relabel both types of fifos, then let qemu decide which one it wants to use (in the unusual case that both are present). If one of the types is present, libvirt will silently ignore when the other type is missing (since that will be the most common case), but if neither type is present, there will be an error logged about failing to relabel/chown one of the bidirectional pipes. (Likewise, if one direction of the unidirectional pipes is present but the other is missing, this will also result in an error log). (Note commit d37c6a3a (which first appeared in libvirt-0.9.2) added the code that checked for a bidirectional fifo. Prior to that commit, bidirectional fifos fdor serial devices didn't work unless the fifo was pre-owned/labelled such that qemu could access it.) --- src/security/security_dac.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/security/security_selinux.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/security/security_dac.c b/src/security/security_dac.c index af02236..f97d2d6 100644 --- a/src/security/security_dac.c +++ b/src/security/security_dac.c @@ -397,6 +397,7 @@ virSecurityDACSetChardevLabel(virSecurityManagerPtr mgr, { virSecurityDACDataPtr priv = virSecurityManagerGetPrivateData(mgr);

[libvirt] [PATCH] Improve LXC startup error messages
by Daniel P. Berrange 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com> The LXC controller and container attempt to run in lockstep using a series of handshakes. There was a flaw in the container side though, causing it todo partial setup work, before waiting for the initial controller handshake. This in turn meant some of the controller setup could fail, and obscure the real error from the container setup. Moving the lxcContainerWaitForContinue call to be the first thing the container does solves that. The controller still, however, pollutes the log with a message about the container handshake failing, when the container shuts down during startup. To deal with this requires special handling of the EOF condition on the controllers lxcContainerWaitForContinue() call. * src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Wait for continue message from controller before doing anything at all * src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Don't pollute log with error message if EOF was returned from lxcContainerWaitForContinue. * src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Handle EOF from controller handshake --- src/lxc/lxc_container.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ src/lxc/lxc_controller.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 2 +- 3 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/lxc/lxc_container.c b/src/lxc/lxc_container.c index 787df9a..ee5ca9f 100644 --- a/src/lxc/lxc_container.c +++ b/src/lxc/lxc_container.c @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ error_out: * parent process.
