Subject: [PATCH] virsh: Track when create pkttyagent
3e5111
3e5111
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1374126
3e5111
3e5111
Due to how the processing for authentication using polkit works, the
3e5111
virshConnect code must first "attempt" an virConnectOpenAuth and then
3e5111
check for a "special" return error code VIR_ERR_AUTH_UNAVAILABLE in
3e5111
order to attempt to "retry" the authentication after performing a creation
3e5111
of a pkttyagent to handle the challenge/response for the client.
3e5111
3e5111
However, if pkttyagent creation is not possible for the authentication
3e5111
being attempted (such as perhaps a "qemu+ssh://someuser@localhost/system"),
3e5111
then the same failure pattern would be returned and another attempt to
3e5111
create a pkttyagent would be done. This would continue "forever" until
3e5111
someone forced quit (e.g. ctrl-c) from virsh as the 'authfail' was not
3e5111
incremented when creating the pkttyagent.
3e5111
3e5111
So add a 'agentCreated' boolean to track if we've attempted to create the
3e5111
agent at least once and force a failure if that creation returned the same
3e5111
error pattern.
3e5111
3e5111
This resolves a possible never ending loop and will generate an error:
3e5111
3e5111
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
3e5111
error: authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage'
3e5111
3e5111
NB: If the authentication was for a sufficiently privileged client, such as
3e5111
qemu+ssh://root@localhost/system, then the remoteDispatchAuthList "allows"
3e5111
the authentication to use libvirt since @callerUid would be 0.
