The udev monitor thread "udevEventHandleThread()" will lag the
actual/real view of devices in sysfs as it serially processes udev
monitor events. So for instance if you were to run the following cmd
to create a new veth pair and rename one of the veth endpoints
you might see the following monitor events and real world that looks like
time
| create v0 sysfs entry
wake udevEventHandleThread | create v1 sysfs entry
udev_monitor_receive_device(v1-add) | move v0 sysfs to v2
udevHandleOneDevice(v1) |
udev_monitor_receive_device(v0-add) |
udevHandleOneDevice(v0) | <--- error msgs in virNetDevGetLinkInfo()
udev_monitor_receive_device(v2-move) | as v0 no longer exists
udevHandleOneDevice(v2) |
\/
As you can see the changes in sysfs can take place well before we get
to act on the events in the udevEventHandleThread(), so by the time we
get around to processing the v0 add event, the sysfs entry has been
moved to v2.
To work around this we check if the sysfs entry is valid before
attempting to read it and don't bother trying to read link info if
not. This is safe since we will never read sysfs entries earlier than
it existing, ie. if the entry is not there it has either been removed
in the time since we enumerated the device or something bigger is
busted, in either case, no sysfs entry, no link info. In the case
described above we will eventually get the link info as we work
through the queue of monitor events and get to the 'move' event.

qemu: Label restore path outside of secdriver transactions
As explained in the previous commit, we need to relabel the file
we are restoring the domain from. That is the FD that is passed
to QEMU. If the file is not under /dev then the file inside the
namespace is the very same as the one in the host. And regardless
of using transactions, the file will be relabeled. But, if the
file is under /dev then when using transactions only the copy
inside the namespace is relabeled and the one in the host is not.
But QEMU is reading from the one in the host, actually.
This API allows drivers to separate out handling of @stdin_path
of virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel(). The thing is, the QEMU driver
uses transactions for virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel() which
relabels devices from inside of domain's namespace. This is what
we usually want. Except when resuming domain from a file. The
file is opened before any namespace is set up and the FD is
passed to QEMU to read the migration stream from. Because of
this, the file lives outside of the namespace and if it so
happens that the file is a block device (i.e. it lives under
/dev) its copy will be created in the namespace. But the FD that
is passed to QEMU points to the original living in the host and
not in the namespace. So relabeling the file inside the namespace
helps nothing.
But if we have a separate API for relabeling the restore file
then the QEMU driver can continue calling
virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel() with transactions enabled and
call this new API without transactions.
We already have an API for relabeling a single file
(virSecurityManagerDomainSetPathLabel()) but in case of SELinux
it uses @imagelabel (which allows RW access) and we want to use
@content_context (which allows RO access).
