This function loads the BPF prog with prepared map into kernel and
attaches it into guest cgroup. It can be also used to replace existing
program in the cgroup if we need to resize BPF map to store more rules
for devices. The old program will be closed and removed from kernel.
There are two possible ways how to create BPF program:
- One way is to write simple C-like code which can by compiled into
BPF object file which can be loaded into kernel using elfutils.
- The second way is to define macros which look like assembler
instructions and can be used directly to create BPF program that
can be directly loaded into kernel.
Since the program is not too complex we can use the second option.
If there is no program, all devices are allowed, if there is some
program it is executed and based on the exit status the access is
denied for 0 and allowed for 1.
Our program will follow these rules:
- first it will try to look for the specific key using major and
minor to see if there is any rule for that specific device
- if there is no specific rule it will try to look for any rule that
matches only major of the device
- if there is no match with major it will try the same but with
minor of the device
- as the last attempt it will try to look for rule for all devices
and if there is no match it will return 0 to deny that access

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
