[PATCH 00/40] Refactor Xen driver to support ACL work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

The Xen driver currently is a really horrible mess, in particular
with the way iterates over sub-drivers calling each one in turn,
until one magically works. For each operation there is always a
clear rule for which sub-driver must be used. Thus instead of
blindly iterating over all drivers, we can directly invoke the
correct sub-driver. This highlights that quite alot of code is
in fact completely unreachable / used & can be deleted.

The second big issue is that the Xen sub-drivers will randomly
use either the 'id', 'name' or 'uuid' from the virDomainPtr object.
If the user provides a malicious virDomainPtr instance, it is
possible to have a 'id' referring to domain A, a 'name' referring
to domain B and a 'uuid' referring to domain C. This makes doing
reliable access control checks difficult. To ensure we have a
consistent triple, use the 'uuid' from virDomainPtr to lookup the
guest with the hypervisor and return a virDomainDefPtr where only
the name/id/uuid are filled out. Use this in the all the subdrivers
isolating them from the public virDomainPtr object. The top level
Xen driver will then be able to do access control checks on the
virDomainDefPtr instances.
