[libvirt] [PATCH 0/10] Convert over to use new -device args everywhere
by Daniel P. Berrange 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

QEMU has introduced a new command line arg called -device for specifying the guest device config. This allows separation from the host device config. libvirt needs to use this new syntax so that we can specify static PCI addresses for devices (the old syntax did not allow this). This patch series is the quick conversion I've done so far. The most obvious thing still lacking here is new test cases. I want to wait until this series merges with the device addressing series before adding those, since one set of tests can cover both patch series. In addition the handling of disk drivers is not quite correct. We need the disk controller patches myself/Wolfgang have worked on in order to specify the disk bus/unit instead of index.

[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: Starting a libvirt application developer guide effort
by Daniel P. Berrange 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

This is a quick mail to announce that we have started an effort to write a libvirt application developer guide. The guide is intended to introduce programmers to the libvirt API and its concepts and demonstrate best practice along the way. The initial focus is on the C API, but once that's matured, further info on language bindings can be added. As is common with all work done in the libvirt project, the guide is being made available under an open license, specifically the Creative Commons AttributionâShare Alike 3.0 Unported license ("CC-BY-SA") The reason for this choice is that it has become the defacto license choice for documentation under Fedora, GNOME, and content from Wikipedia, etc.[1] The application developer guide is written in DocBook and is processed using the Publican toolset to generate the HTML and PDF output. Again this choice was made because it is the same toolset used in Fedora & Red Hat docs NB, this is using Publican 1.x series of releases which is available starting in Fedora 12 or later. The build config/styling is not compatible with the older Public 0.x series from earlier Fedora. There are two new GIT repositories for this work - A repository containing the libvirt brand. This is essentially CSS and graphics required to make the docs use the same style as the libvirt website does http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-publican.git - A repository containing the application developer doc. This is the actual interesting content. http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-appdev-guide.git Assuming you have Publican >= 1.0 installed, then the first step is to build and install the libvirt brand. This involves getting a checkout of the libvirt-publican.git repo, typing 'make rpm' and then installing the RPM it generates. Once the brand is installed, then you can get a checkout of the actual docs from 'libvirt-appdev-guide.git'. The content is all under the directory en-US/ in docbook format. To generate html, from the top level directory just type 'make html', likewise pdfs with 'make pdf'. If you just type 'make' you get html and pdfs. I have put up example copies generated from current available content http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/libvirt/appdev-guide/html/ http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/libvirt/appdev-guide/pdf/ If you look at these, you'll notice of course that while there is a nice big table of contents, most of the actual content is missing. We are continuing to write content and will update it periodically. If anyone is interested in contributing content, then simply send patches against the docbook XML in the libvirt-appdev-guide.git to this list as per the normal review & commit process.

[libvirt] [PATCH] esx_util.c: avoid NULL deref for invalid inputs
by Jim Meyering 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

The trouble here is that "goto failure" would run this code: failure: VIR_FREE(*datastoreName); VIR_FREE(*directoryName); VIR_FREE(*fileName); result = -1; goto cleanup; And thus if any of those 3 input variables was NULL, that deref would probably provoke a segfault. By the way, that interface should be changed, because it encourages risky behavior: int esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath(virConnectPtr conn, const char *datastoreRelatedPath, char **datastoreName, char **directoryName, char **fileName) Note how it takes a buffer, datastoreRelatedPath, but with no length parameter. Then this function writes into the buffer with this code: if (sscanf(datastoreRelatedPath, "[%a[^]%]] %a[^\n]", datastoreName, &directoryAndFileName) != 2) { which cannot even check for buffer overrun because it doesn't know the length. You might want to add a new parameter, buf_len: int esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath(virConnectPtr conn, const char *datastoreRelatedPath, size_t buf_len, char **datastoreName, char **directoryName, char **fileName) >From aba304e07835c123bd63f1d5d6777a898916349f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com> Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:08:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] esx_util.c: avoid NULL deref for invalid inputs * src/esx/esx_util.c (esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath): Return right away, rather than trying to clean up and dereference NULL pointers, if any input is invalid. --- src/esx/esx_util.c | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/esx/esx_util.c b/src/esx/esx_util.c index 3e53921..8703ac2 100644 --- a/src/esx/esx_util.c +++ b/src/esx/esx_util.c @@ -277,7 +277,7 @@ esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath(virConnectPtr conn, directoryName == NULL || *directoryName != NULL || fileName == NULL || *fileName != NULL) { ESX_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Invalid argument"); - goto failure; + return -1; } /* @@ -299,7 +299,7 @@ esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath(virConnectPtr conn, ESX_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Datastore related path '%s' doesn't have expected format " "'[<datastore>] <path>'", datastoreRelatedPath); - goto failure; + return -1; } /* Split <path> into <directory>/<file>, where <directory> is optional */ -- 1.6.6.rc2.275.g51e2d
