[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] fix yet another regression due to my backingChain rewrite
by Eric Blake 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903248 details a regression that I caused, which is tickled by the odd way in which VDSM uses (abuses?) symlinks to qcow2 files with relative backing file names. The first two patches are quite trivial; the third a bit longer but still straightforward; and the meat of the series is the fourth patch. Meanwhile, I know of at least one other regression that I still need to fix in the same area of code: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896685 is caused when cgroups are not present (such as in qemu:///session); I hope to patch that one tomorrow.

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/15] Permit setting capabilities for uid!=0 processes
by Laine Stump 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

There are a bunch of patches here, but each is small and single-purpose to make reviewing easier (and also so that any potential regressions can be easily bisected). The original purpose of the patches was to permit setting CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL for non-root qemu processes, since Fedora 18 now requires that in order for generic PCI passthrough to work (the alternative was to always run qemu as root). Although we may not actually want to do that part (if we can convince kernel people to implement CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL such that it's only required when *opening* the necessary sysfs file (done by libvirt), rather than for every read/write (done by qemu), then we will not need CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL for qemu), but that is just a couple lines in the final patch, and the rest of the series is still useful, as it make dropping/keeping caps truly work for non-root child processes - this has never before been the case. (for example, CAP_SYS_RAWIO is needed for generic scsi passthrough to work, and until now the only way to have that was to run *all* qemus as root). A bit higher level description of what I've done with all the patches: 1) remove the programmable "hook" from virExecWithHook(), since that function was only called from one place, and always with the same hook function. Rename virExecWithHook() to virExec(), and replace the call to that hook with inline code. 2) give virCommand an API to set the intended uid/gid of the command that's going to be run, and use that instead of a "user hook" where appropriate (in the process completely eliminating two hook functions). 3) Also add an API to virCommand to do the final "set the process label" step for selinux/apparmor. 4) Add a new API to the security driver (and use it from qemu) called virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel() which a) is called prior to virCommandRun() rather than from a command "hook" function, b) takes a virCommand, and c) rather than immediately performing the operation (as virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel() did), merely stores the necessary information in the virCommand so that virExec can perform the operation (setting selinux label, setuid/gid, etc) 5) make a new function combining the setting of uid/gid and maintaining of capabilities, because that is the only way you can set uid!=0 and still maintain capabilities. Use this in virExec() 6) *Finally* set the CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL capability unconditionally for all qemu processes. (If we really do have to do this, we may want to consider making it a qemu.conf setting). Laine Stump (15): util: eliminate generic hook from virExecWithHook util: eliminate extra args from virExec util: refactor virCommandHook into virExec and virCommandHandshakeChild util: add virCommandSetUID and virCommandSetGID util: make virSetUIDGID a NOP when uid or gid is -1 qemu: replace exec hook with virCommandSetUID/GID in qemuCaps* qemu: replace exec hook with virCommandSetUID/GID in storage_backend build: define SECDRIVER_LIBS in Makefile.am util: add security label setting to virCommand security: add new virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel API qemu: let virCommand set child process security labels/uid/gid util: drop capabilities immediately after changing uid/gid of child util: virSetUIDGIDWithCaps - change uid while keeping caps util: maintain caps when running command with uid != 0 qemu: set CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL so that pci passthrough works src/Makefile.am | 35 ++- src/libvirt_private.syms | 5 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 61 ++--- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 23 +- src/security/security_apparmor.c | 41 +++- src/security/security_dac.c | 24 +- src/security/security_driver.h | 6 +- src/security/security_manager.c | 13 +- src/security/security_manager.h | 6 +- src/security/security_nop.c | 10 +- src/security/security_selinux.c | 34 ++- src/security/security_stack.c | 20 +- src/storage/storage_backend.c | 28 +-- src/util/vircommand.c | 481 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------- src/util/vircommand.h | 9 +- src/util/virutil.c | 113 ++++++++- src/util/virutil.h | 1 + 17 files changed, 543 insertions(+), 367 deletions(-) -- 1.8.1

[libvirt] Why not add snapshot operations for Sheepdog storage driver in Libvirt
by harryxiyou 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Hi all, Virsh has following operations about snapshot. Snapshot (help keyword 'snapshot') snapshot-create Create a snapshot from XML snapshot-create-as Create a snapshot from a set of args snapshot-current Get or set the current snapshot snapshot-delete Delete a domain snapshot snapshot-dumpxml Dump XML for a domain snapshot snapshot-edit edit XML for a snapshot snapshot-info snapshot information snapshot-list List snapshots for a domain snapshot-parent Get the name of the parent of a snapshot snapshot-revert Revert a domain to a snapshot But i cannot find relevant realization in Sheepdog storage driver in Libvirt. I am sure Sheepdog storage driver, now, cannot support snapshot operations in Libvirt. I wonder whether Sheepdog can realize snapshot operations in Libvirt? Maybe i can finish these jobs. I am not clear about how to let Sheepdog storage driver support snapshot operations. Could anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Thanks Harry Wei
