Perhaps I didn't get > that from reading bz or the patch. Yes, that's the bug. If virtlogd is used to handle stdio for char devices we shouldn't relabel the @path to the default labels, the @path doesn't have to be accessible by the qemu process, it has to be accessible by the virtlogd process. > >> IIUC, whether or not someone set the label for the chardev, for this > >> particular issue/config where the chardev has a <log file=$path>, we > >> don't want to set (or restore) the label.

Yes, the two conditions are checked while starting a new domain in qemuProcessPrepareDomain() and stored in the private date of that domain. > If you have a domain that has chardev's which are not configured to use > the stdio handler, then the chardevStdioLogd could still be true, right? No, if the @chardevStdioLogd is true all char devices for that domain will use virtlogd. The only issue I've just found out is that the code path for chardev hot-plug isn't updated to use virtlogd when it should be so for hot-plugged char devices we pass the path directly to QEMU. With this patch applied the hot-plug fails if virtlogd is used because we don't relabel the path but we pass it directly to QEMU, this needs to be fixed to not introduce a regression, sigh.
