My commit 7a2e845a86 (and its
prerequisites) managed to effectively ignore the
clear_emulator_capabilities setting in qemu.conf (visible in the code
as the VIR_EXEC_CLEAR_CAPS flag when qemu is being exec'ed), with the
result that the capabilities are always cleared regardless of the
qemu.conf setting. This patch fixes it by passing the flag through to
virSetUIDGIDWithCaps(), which uses it to decide whether or not to
clear existing capabilities before adding in those that were
requested.
Note that the existing capabilities are *always* cleared if the new
process is going to run as non-root, since the whole point of running
non-root is to have the capabilities removed (it's still possible to
maintain individual capabilities as needed using the capBits argument
though).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
