lvm: Set libvirt image selinux label on block devices backing vdsm images
The SELinux sVirt protection for QEMU virtual machines is setup in such
a way that a domain can only access files or devices which are labelled
svirt_image_t label. Libvirt sets this label on block devices backing
images when it starts a vm.
On Fedora 19, 20 and EL 7, the selinux label on the block device is lost
after refreshing a logical volume. The root cause of this issue is
systemd-udevd, trying to "preserve" the selinux label upon device change
event.
Loosing the selinux label causes the vm to pause. The only way to use
the vm is to restart the vm. Practically, this breaks thin provisioning
on block storage, since after each automatic extend, a logical volume
must be refreshed.
This patch adds a temporary hack, by updating vdsm lvm rules to set the
libvirt image selinux label on vdsm images. This change should be
reverted when a fix is available in systemd-udevd.
This hack is enabled by default only for EL7, since we hope to get a
fix for systemd-udevd soon for Fedora.
To enable this hack on other platforms:
./configure --enable-chcon-hack
