[libvirt] Entering freeze for 0.10.2
by Daniel Veillard 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

I have just tagged the release candidate 1 version and provided tarball and rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ so we have now entered freeze, I hope we didn't forgot any feature except Dan's work for a locking daemon. maybe we can try to push that one for rc2 possibly Thursday or Friday. Then hopefully we can release next Monday or Tuesday. Give it a try, let's chase bugs :-) !

[libvirt] [PATCH] blockdev: preserve readonly and snapshot states across media changes
by Kevin Shanahan 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

If readonly=on is given at device creation time, the ->readonly flag needs to be set in the block driver state for this device so that readonly-ness is preserved across media changes (qmp change command). Similarly, to preserve the snapshot property requires ->open_flags to be correct.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] network: virNetworkUpdate section backends
by Laine Stump 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

These patches are the backends for ip-dhcp-range and portgroups. Since virsh, the bridge driver, and the toplevel of the NetworkObj function of virNetworkUpdate already support all sections, only the lowest level routine in network_conf.c needs to be modified (an "unsupported" error log is replaced with real functionality). These functions are self-contained (each updates the contents of a single static function) and only used by the new virNetworkUpdate API; no other code is touched by the patches, so they are fairly safe to add.

[libvirt] [PATCHv2 0/2] two different possibilities for virsh net-update command
by Laine Stump 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

The two following patches are alternate approaches that each have a slightly different commandline syntax. In V1 of the net-update patch, I tried having a single string option that could contain either an xml string, or the name of a file containing an xml string, then two options that would be used to make the decision of file vs. xml: net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host --xml "<host mac='xx..' .../>" net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myfile.xml (or 'net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host --file /tmp/myfile.xml') (the trick here is that "--xml" is a boolean option, *not* a string option that gets set to "<host...", and the string itself goes into a generic, usually unnamed option called xmldata. Likewise, the filename is being put into xmldata, and if the "--xml" boolean option isn't given on the commandline, it's assumed that it is a file. The ability to specifically say it is a file was just added for completeness, but really is semantically useless.) The problem with this is that someone looking at the syntax in the help might come up with a confusing commandline like this: net-update netname add --xmldata /tmp/myfile.xml --file \ --section ip-dhcp-host --live or net-update netname add --xmldata "<host mac='x:x...'/>" --xml \ --section ip-dhcp-host --live or even worse, they would specify "--xmldata", but leave out --xml, and virsh would attempt to interpret the text as a filename. On the other hand, if I named the string option "file" and the boolean option --xmldata, that would make things confusing even in the case that the command was *correct*: net-update netname add --file "<host mac='x:x...'/>" --xmldata \ --section ip-dhcp-host --live Of course, in any of those cases, if the user followed the "normal" command specification, it would look just fine, but it seems like there is a lot of room to cause confusion. So, for V2, I'm trying two different approaches: PATCHv2 1/2: Have a single required "xml" arg, and "auto-detect" whether it is xml text or a filename by looking at the first character - if the first character is "<", interpret it as an xml element. If not, interpret it as a filename. This leads to the simplest commandlines, since you *never* need to specify "--file" or "--xml" (unless you really want to): net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host "<host mac='xx..' .../>" net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myfile.xml (The ambiguous case of a filename starting with "<" can be avoided by specifying the filename as "./<....") There may be some circumstance I'm not aware of where a fully formed XML element doesn't necessarily start with a "<" though, or someone may be 100% against auto-disambiguating the string type, so I'm also sending a different version: PATCHv2 2/2: Have two separate optional string args, "file" and "xml". Manually check in the code that only one of them has been specified. Since both are optional, you must *always* provide the option name on the commandline ("--file" or "--xml"). In this case, the commandlines look like this: net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host --xml "<host mac='xx..' .../>" net-update netname add ip-dhcp-host --file /tmp/myfile.xml I'm (as usual) completely undecided about which of these versions to go with (including the first, which should still be considered, although I don't really like the possibility of creating confusing commandlines that it creates), so all votes/opinions/etc are welcome!

[libvirt] [PATCH] security: also parse user/group names instead of just IDs for DAC labels
by Marcelo Cerri 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

The DAC driver is missing parsing of group and user names for DAC labels and currently just parses uid and gid. This patch extends it to support names, so the following security label definition is now valid: <seclabel type='static' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>qemu:qemu</label> <imagelabel>qemu:qemu</imagelabel> </seclabel> --- src/security/security_dac.c | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/security/security_dac.c b/src/security/security_dac.c index be65d6e..7e11e31 100644 --- a/src/security/security_dac.c +++ b/src/security/security_dac.c @@ -66,28 +66,59 @@ void virSecurityDACSetDynamicOwnership(virSecurityManagerPtr mgr, } static +int parseId(const char *str, unsigned int *id) +{ + char *endptr = NULL; + + if (str == NULL || id == NULL) + return -1; + + if (virStrToLong_ui(str, &endptr, 10, id) || endptr != NULL) + return -1; + + return 0; +} + +static int parseIds(const char *label, uid_t *uidPtr, gid_t *gidPtr) { + int rc = -1; unsigned int theuid; unsigned int thegid; - char *endptr = NULL; + char *sep = NULL; + char *tmp_label = NULL; if (label == NULL) - return -1; + goto done; - if (virStrToLong_ui(label, &endptr, 10, &theuid) || - endptr == NULL || *endptr != ':') { - return -1; - } + tmp_label = strdup(label); + if (tmp_label == NULL) + goto done; - if (virStrToLong_ui(endptr + 1, NULL, 10, &thegid)) - return -1; + sep = strchr(tmp_label, ':'); + if (sep == NULL) + goto done; + *sep = '\0'; + + if (virGetUserID(tmp_label, &theuid) < 0 && + parseId(tmp_label, &theuid) < 0) + goto done; + + if (virGetGroupID(sep + 1, &thegid) < 0 && + parseId(sep + 1, &thegid) < 0) + goto done; if (uidPtr) *uidPtr = theuid; if (gidPtr) *gidPtr = thegid; - return 0; + + rc = 0; + +done: + VIR_FREE(tmp_label); + + return rc; } /* returns 1 if label isn't found, 0 on success, -1 on error */ -- 1.7.12
