[libvirt] [PATCH v2] lxc: Fail connection attempt if cgroups not mounted
Currently a user can connect to lxc:/// if cgroups aren't mounted, but
they can't do a whole lot: starting and even stopping guests doesn't work
(the latter only if cgroups were unmounted behind libvirt's back). To make
matters worse, even after mounting cgroups, libvirt must be restarted
to actually notice.
This is frustrating for users who may make it all the way to the end of
the virt-manager 'New VM' wizard only to receive an error that requires
a libvirtd restart.
Fix this by checking for cgroup mounts at lxc:/// connect time, and
if none are found, fail the connection.
v2:
Track 'privileged' in lxc driver even though it isn't much useful
at the moment. If it ever becomes useful we want things to just work.
