I was not able to reproduce this on my setup.

Please attach the full debug log of virtqemud as well as the full VM xml used.

There is nothing that changed in libvirt between the releases where it supposedly works and where it doesn't, but the error message in qemu was added recently [1].

Note that the FD is passed down from python via libvirt to qemu.

Libvirt invokes the following commands:
2023-06-26 01:46:37.056+0000: 1846131: info : qemuMonitorSend:864 : QEMU_MONITOR_SEND_MSG: mon=0x7fd41c0d6460 msg={"execute":"getfd","arguments":{"fdname":"graphicsfd"},"id":"libvirt-12"} fd=24

and then attempts to clean up:

    qmp: 'add_client' actually expects sockets
    
    Whether it is SPICE, VNC, D-Bus, or the socket chardev, they all
    actually expect a socket kind or will fail in different ways at runtime.
    
    Throw an error early if the given 'add_client' fd is not a socket, and
    close it to avoid leaks.
    
    This allows to replace the close() call with a more correct & portable
    closesocket() version.
    
    (this will allow importing sockets on Windows with a specialized command
    in the following patch, while keeping the remaining monitor associated
    sockets/add_client code & usage untouched)

As noted I can't reproduce this with upstream qemu with the above python code.

Moving to qemu for further analysis.

That looks like `getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE)` failed. The code treat any error (including ENOTSOCK) as indicating fd is not a socket.

Maybe SELinux is preventing calling getsockopt?

@lcheng
Could you check and attach the audit log, and  with selinux disabled? 

thanks

Thanks very much. Test with 'setenforce 0', no error to call openGraphics().

# getenforce

>>> import libvirt

>>> server, client = socket.socketpair(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>> conn = libvirt.open()
>>> domobj = conn.lookupByName("vm1")
>>> domobj.openGraphics(0, server.fileno(), 0)
0

thanks, moving to selinux-policy for further analysis.

Could you update the policy to allow qemu `getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE)` ?

Hi, 

Can you please reproduce the issue in permissive mode with full auditing enabled?


1) Open the /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules file in an editor.
2) Remove the following line if it exists:
-a task,never
3) Add the following line to the end of the file:
-w /etc/shadow -p w
4) Restart the audit daemon:
  # service auditd restart
5) Re-run your scenario.
6) Collect AVC denials:
  # ausearch -i -m avc,user_avc,selinux_err,user_selinux_err -ts today

Thank you,
Nikola

Hi Nikola,

I followed the steps in comment 9 to reproduce the issue. AVC denials as follows:

# ausearch -i -m avc,user_avc,selinux_err,user_selinux_err -ts today
