Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 04/10] qemuSecurityRestoreAllLabel: Don't use transactions

Because of the nature of security driver transactions, it is impossible to use them properly. The thing is, transactions enter the domain namespace and commit all the seclabel changes. However, in RestoreAllLabel() this is impossible - the qemu process, the only process running in the namespace, is gone. And thus is the namespace. Therefore we shouldn't use the transactions as there is no namespace to enter.
