In "libxl: Do not trust backend for disk eject vdev" (c69871a2fb on
xen.git#staging) we changed libxl_evenable_disk_eject to read the
device vdev out of xenstore from the /libxl path, rather than the
backend path, and to read it during setup rather than on each event.
However, the patch has a mistake:
- GCSPRINTF("%s/dev", backend), NULL);
+ GCSPRINTF("%s/vdev", libxl_path), &configured_vdev);
^
Spot the extra "v". This causes configured_vdev always to be NULL.
configured_vdev is passed to [libxl__]strdup.
In Xen 4.6 and later libxl__strdup is used and tolerates NULL.
evg->vdev is set to NULL. This propagates to the `vdev' field in the
generated event. This may or may not cause further trouble, depending
on the calling application. In our osstest test cases it does not
cause any trouble, so the bug goes undetected.
In Xen 4.5 and earlier, the strdup does not tolerate NULL, and libxl
crashes immediately. This has been detected by osstest as a
regression in Xen 4.5.
IMO this patch should be applied immediately to
xen.git#staging-4.5 (to check that it fixes the osstest regression)
xen.git#staging (to check that it does not break master
Subject to passes, it should then be propagated to all supported
stable trees and also be mentioned in an update to XSA-178.

Replace the usage of readdir_r() with readdir() to address a

"
It is expected that future versions of POSIX will obsolete readdir_r and

When allocating a vdev for a new disk, look in /libxl/device, rather
than the frontends directory in xenstore.
This is more in line with the other parts of libxl, which ought not to
trust frontends. In this case, though, there is no security bug prior
to this patch because the frontend is the toolstack domain itself.
If libxl__alloc_vdev were ever changed to take a frontend domain
argument, this patch will fix a latent security bug.

Abolish a redundant store to pnic->backend_domid. Before this commit,

We are going to want to change all the functions that use READ_BACKEND
to get untrustworthy information from the backend, to use trustworthy
information from /libxl.
This will involve replacing READ_BACKEND, which reads from be_path,
with a similar macro READ_LIBXLDEV, which reads from libxl_path.
The macro name change generates a lot of clutter in the diff. So we
break it out into this separate patch. Here, we rename the macro, but
the implementation does not really match the new name.
So, another way to look at this, is that we have transformed the bug:
* All of the backends use READ_BACKEND, which is unsafe
into the new bug:
* READ_LIBXLDEV actually reads be_path, which is unsafe.
There is no functional change as yet.
