Re: [RFC PATCH 1/7] config: Adding source for the config driver

Peter,

Thank you for the feedback on my patches, and sorry for the delay. I was away all weekend, since it was a holiday weekend (definitely a plus, having my day job in education). I figured it would be a bit spammy to reply to each individual message, but I did read each of them, and will be working to implement the suggestions tonight and/or tomorrow night.

The sole purpose of this driver is to allow access to various bits of configuration information, such as secret or network definitions, from the initialization and auto-start routines of other drivers. This is the first step toward breaking the circular dependencies present in QEMU and the Storage driver, in addition to preventing future cases.

Again, please trim the commit message (see 2/3 in your other series for
instructions).

I apologize for the long lines. I had forgotten about reading the log messages
in a standard terminal, as I mostly read those in a web interface.

Won't this driver be beneficial for session connections too? (they run
unprivileged.

As for denying unprivileged connections, I'm honestly not sure if it would
be useful. All this driver does is grant access to definitions of networks,
storage pools, secrets, etc. I just ensured that this driver is loaded very
early in the load order, and has zero external dependencies. I suppose
that I made an assumption that the privileged variable indicated a privileged
connection, but thinking about it more, I suppose it could also mean running
privileged in the OS. I simply disabled the driver if unprivileged so that I
would not leak any privileged information to an unprivileged connection
by accident. If that isn't a concern (either I misunderstood the meaning of
the privileged variable, or the code wouldn't leak information), I can certainly
drop those lines to allow the driver when unprivileged. As I've mentioned
before, I am not intimately familiar with the libvirt code, so I tend to err
on the side of caution.

The comments here should state the release where the API was implemented
for the driver, thus you need to change them to /* 1.2.2 */.

I hadn't forgotten about the API version comment, but when I wrote the patches,
I simply had no idea when version would be next. Never know if there will be a minor
version increment instead of the standard micro. Since it was more of an RFC-type
patch, I didn't even have an idea of a timeframe for submission, since I thought there
might be more discussion prior to looking at pulling a change of this type into the code.
