When virt-aa-helper parses xml content it can fail on security labels. It fails by requiring to parse active domain content on seclabels that is not yet filled in. Testcase with virt-aa-helper on a minimal xml: $ cat << EOF > /tmp/test.xml <domain type='kvm'> <name>test-seclabel</name> <uuid>12345678-9abc-def1-2345-6789abcdef00</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>1</memory> <os><type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type></os> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='apparmor' relabel='yes'/> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'/> </domain> EOF $ /usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper -d -r -p 0 \ -u libvirt-12345678-9abc-def1-2345-6789abcdef00 < /tmp/test.xml Current Result: virt-aa-helper: error: could not parse XML virt-aa-helper: error: could not get VM definition Expected Result is a valid apparmor profile Updates: v2 - simplified and clarified commit message - make the flag skip all secabel parsing - shorten the new flag name fixes: dfbc9a83 ("apparmor: QEMU monitor socket moved") Signed-off-by: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 6 ++++-- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 2 ++ src/security/virt-aa-helper.c | 1 + 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index 6e008e2..bbe550b 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -16289,8 +16289,10 @@ virDomainDefParseXML(xmlDocPtr xml, /* analysis of security label, done early even though we format it * late, so devices can refer to this for defaults */ - if (virSecurityLabelDefsParseXML(def, ctxt, caps, flags) == -1) - goto error; + if (!(flags & VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_SKIP_SECLABEL)) { + if (virSecurityLabelDefsParseXML(def, ctxt, caps, flags) == -1) + goto error; + } /* Extract domain memory */ if (virDomainParseMemory("./memory[1]", NULL, ctxt, diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.h b/src/conf/domain_conf.h index 541b600..3a9693c 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.h +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.h @@ -2666,6 +2666,8 @@ typedef enum { VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE = 1 << 9, /* skip definition validation checks meant to be executed on define time only */ VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_SKIP_VALIDATE = 1 << 10, + /* skip parsing of security labels */ + VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_SKIP_SECLABEL = 1 << 11, } virDomainDefParseFlags; typedef enum { diff --git a/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c b/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c index 77eeaff..5f5d1cd 100644 --- a/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c +++ b/src/security/virt-aa-helper.c @@ -705,6 +705,7 @@ get_definition(vahControl * ctl, const char *xmlStr) ctl->def = virDomainDefParseString(xmlStr, ctl->caps, ctl->xmlopt, NULL, + VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_SKIP_SECLABEL | VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_SKIP_VALIDATE); if (ctl->def == NULL) { -- 2.7.4 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
