Re: [libvirt] PATCH: Fix permissions problem starting QEMU

There is a minor bug when running QEMU non-root, and having
capng enabled. libvirt is unable to write the PID file in
/var/run/libvirt/qemu, since its now owned by 'qemu', but
libvirtd has dropped all capabilties at this point. The fix
is to delay dropping capabilities until after the PID file
has been created. We should also be sure to kill the child
if writing the PID file fails
I haven't looked into it much yet, but don't we need to open up the
permissions on /var/lib/libvirt/images now? At least from 700 to 711 so
qemu can open images?
