Re: [Xen-devel] PATCH: Set close-on-exec flag for QEMU disks

QEMU does not currently set the close-on-exec flag after opening its virtual
disk images. This causes problems when it later runs the /etc/xen/qemu-ifup
script because the file descriptors get propagated to networking commands
like brctl / ifconfig. The SELinux policy quite rightly does not allow the
networking scripts to access the virtual disk images, so these inherited
file descriptors for AVC denials to be logged.
The attached patch modifies all the QEMU disk driver backends to make sure
the close-on-exec flag is turned on
It would be nicer to implement an open_cloexec() function in e.g., vl.c to
do the open() and fcntl() in one go and in one place.
There are few areas where scripts are executed. Why not just introduce
an exec() wrapper that closes file descriptors appropriately.
That makes it less likely that this problem will occur in the future.

There are lots of uses of open() throughout the qemu sources and the patch
only fixes up a subset of them -- is this correct?
