From 7b82ed7b603a181053d7ced6b809a4d0bac9e1a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chen Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 01:29:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] review: Add libvirt review prompts Add the boro-authored libvirt prompt corpus under resources/prompts/libvirt/ (core patterns, coding style, severity, false-positive guide, callstack, inline-template and per-subsystem guides), mirroring the qemu corpus layout, plus the resources/prompts/libvirt.local/ overlay directory. Symbol names and rules in the always-loaded guides are verified against the current upstream libvirt tree: domain jobs are virDomainObjBeginJob()/virDomainObjEndJob() with VIR_JOB_MODIFY; string parsing uses virStrToLong_ull, and virStrToLong_*/virStrToDouble reject trailing bytes only when the end pointer is NULL; virBuffer has no error state; and locking findings require a proven inverse lock edge rather than blanket mandates. Also add libvirt overrides for the shared review prompts consumed by the target in the following commit: a fast-mode one-shot, a false-positive digest, and the specialist stage bodies (execution, resource, locking, security, build/portability, comments), written in libvirt terms with no kernel-only mandates. Make the findings validator domain-neutral so it is correct for every target.

Apply these rules BEFORE you emit a concern, not after. If a concern +fails any applicable rule, drop it. The full guide still runs at consolidation; +your job here is to stop weak concerns at the source. + +## Core principle + +If you cannot point to **specific code in the diff** that proves the issue, do +not emit it. "Could happen," "might race," "should validate" → drop. + +## Concrete rules + +### 1. Defensive programming requests +Do NOT request bounds checks, NULL checks, or input validation unless you can +show: +- the value comes from an untrusted source (XDR-decoded RPC argument, + client-supplied XML, guest-agent/QMP reply, file/`/proc` content), AND +- an actual code path in the diff reaches the use without intervening + validation. + +`g_new0`/`g_strdup`/`g_strdup_printf` abort on OOM — do NOT ask for a NULL check +after them. Generic "add a check for safety" with no proof: drop. + +### 2. API misuse assumptions +Do NOT report "caller might not hold the lock/job" or "caller might pass NULL" +without showing the actual calling path that does so. libvirt functions often +document preconditions (a locked+ref'd `virDomainObj`, a held job) that callers +must satisfy — check the callers before flagging. + +### 3. Unverifiable claims from the commit message +The commit message is not evidence on its own. If the author says "this is safe +because Y," verify Y from the code. Do not flag based only on a missing +justification, and do not exonerate based only on the changelog's promises. + +### 4. Locking complaints — caller-first +Before emitting any "missing lock" concern, trace 2-3 levels up the call chain. +If a documented caller already holds the object lock or the domain job, drop the +concern. Taking `driver->lock` (e.g. via `virQEMUDriverGetConfig()`) while a +domain is locked is a normal, short critical section — not an ordering bug by +itself. A lock-order concern needs two concrete paths taking the same pair of +locks in opposite order. + +### 5. Monitor / job state after ExitMonitor +Do NOT demand a `virDomainObjIsActive(vm)` re-check after every +`qemuDomainObjExitMonitor()`. The held domain job blocks concurrent destructive +operations, so updating `vm->def`/private state right after ExitMonitor is +normal. Flag stale-state use only when the path holds no job (or the specific +value could actually change during the monitor call) AND reuse is unsafe. + +### 6. Use-after-free vs. use-then-free +Only flag the sequence `alloc → use → free → use` (or `alloc → free → use`). +`alloc → use → free` (normal cleanup) is not a UAF. If ownership transferred +(added to a hash/list, handed to a `virThreadPool` job, an event callback, or a +timer that took a ref), the original holder unref'ing is expected. + +### 7. Resource leaks — ownership matters +Not a leak when: +- the object was added to a hash/list/`virDomainObjList` for later cleanup, +- ownership transferred to another subsystem or an async callback, +- a `g_autoptr`/`g_autofree`/`g_auto(virBuffer)` variable frees it on scope exit, +- `g_steal_pointer()` handed it off deliberately. +Check for an error label / `g_auto*` / `virObjectUnref`/`virDomainObjEndAPI` in +the diff before flagging. + +### 8. Races — show two concurrent paths +A race concern must name both paths and the contested state. "X could race with +Y" with no specific call sites is not a finding. Code that detects the invalid +state and aborts is only safe if every instruction between the race window +opening and the abort point is safe under the invalidated state. + +### 9. Uninitialized variables +Only flag **reads** of uninitialized memory. Assigning a value initializes it. +Passing an uninitialized variable to a function that writes it before reading (a +common out-parameter pattern, e.g. `virStrToLong_*`) is fine. + +### 10. NULL dereference +Before flagging a NULL deref, check whether an earlier line (or the calling +convention) guarantees non-NULL. A `g_new0` result, a `virDomainObj` returned +locked+ref'd by `virDomainObjListFindByUUID`, or a value already checked with +`if (!p) ...` does not need another NULL check downstream. + +### 11. Style and naming +Do not emit style complaints (naming, function size, comment style) as +substantive findings. They belong in commit-message concerns (`msg:style`) at +most, and usually not at all. + +### 12. Patch-series context +If the diff is patch N of a series and a concern is fixed in a later patch of +the same series, treat it as not-a-finding (or note the later-fix patch). + +### 13. Fixed old-code bugs +Do NOT emit a concern merely because the removed/old code had a real bug. If the +reviewed diff moves, deletes, initializes, checks, or otherwise fixes that old +behavior, the old bug is evidence the patch is a fix, not a finding. Only report +it if the new/right-side code still has the bug, the fix is incomplete, or the +patch introduces a different bug. + +### 14. Function-like macro expansion +Do NOT reason from the unexpanded spelling of a function-like macro body (e.g. a +`VIR_*` or glib `g_*`/`G_*` macro). For any concern that depends on macro +semantics, expand the complete invocation chain token by token: bind formal +parameters to actual arguments, substitute every matching preprocessing token, +and rescan for nested expansions. Punctuation or member-access operators do not +make a matching parameter token literal. Account for stringification, token +pasting, and variadic arguments when present. Keep the concern only if it +remains true in the final expanded token stream. + +## How to write a concern that survives consolidation + +- Name the function, file, and line/region from the diff. +- Quote or paraphrase the specific code, not the general pattern. +- State the trigger condition that actually fires (not "if input is malformed"). +- For locking/UAF/race, list the call chain or sequence you traced. + +If you cannot do these for a concern, **do not emit it**. The consolidator will +not invent the evidence; it can only drop what you wrote. diff --git a/resources/one-shot-review-libvirt.md b/resources/one-shot-review-libvirt.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2442fce --- /dev/null +++ b/resources/one-shot-review-libvirt.md @@ -0,0 +1,69 @@ + + +# Single-pass review (boro, libvirt) + +You are performing **one consolidated pass** over a libvirt patch that must +cover the same dimensions as the multi-stage protocol, without running separate +model calls per stage. libvirt is a privileged C management daemon (built on +GLib) that XDR-decodes client RPC, parses domain/network/storage/nwfilter XML, +and drives hypervisors (QEMU/KVM, LXC, ...). + +1. **Intent / architecture** — public API/XML/RPC design, maintainability, + conceptual flaws. +2. **Commit message** — English spelling, grammar, syntax, and clarity (subject + and body); misleading or incomplete changelog vs the diff; missing updates, + API/struct/callback completeness, semantic correctness. +3. **Execution flow and validation provenance** — branches, error paths (`goto + cleanup;`), return-value checks, off-by-one.

Prove that whenever the + caller is compiled the provider exists; a new public symbol must be added to + the matching `.syms`, and a new wire element must bump the RPC protocol.

Examples of a "factual claim": + +- "X and Y are cleared together under the domain lock" +- "Caller must hold the domain object lock" +- "Caller must hold a job (VIR_JOB_MODIFY)" +- "Returns NULL on error" +- "Safe to call from the event-loop thread" +- "Operation is idempotent" +- "Flag A is set before flag B" + +Treat each claim as a hypothesis to verify. Wording that is conservative or +vague ("may block", "may fail") is not a claim - skip those. + +**Step 2. Locate the code that backs each claim.** The code may be: + +- In the diff itself (read it). +- In the same file but outside the diff (use `read_files` to fetch the + surrounding source - do NOT skip this step; the diff is not enough). +- In a different file (use `read_files` or `git_show` to fetch it). + +If a comment names a function, struct field, lock, job, flag, or constant whose +definition or use site is not in the diff, you MUST fetch that source via tools +before deciding. Reading additional files is cheaper than emitting a wrong +finding or missing a real one. + +**Step 3. Verify each claim against the actual code.** A claim is contradicted +when: + +- The code uses a different lock / job / field / function / order than the + comment names. +- The comment uses words implying atomicity or single-step behavior + (**"together", "atomically", "in one step", "simultaneously", "as a pair", + "at once"**) but the code uses multiple separate statements rather than a + primitive that makes them happen together. Holding a lock across two + statements does NOT make them "together" in this sense. +- The comment claims a caller context, precondition (lock/job held), or return + value that some path violates or that the function does not actually check or + guarantee. +- The comment references a symbol that does not exist, was renamed in this same + diff, or refers to a different entity than the code uses. + +**Step 4. Emit a finding for every contradicted claim.** Each finding's +`description` MUST quote the comment text verbatim and quote the contradicting +code line(s) verbatim, so a reviewer can verify in seconds. + +## What also counts as a finding + +1. **Stale or wrong symbol references**: a comment in the diff mentions a + function, struct member, parameter, or flag that does not exist, was renamed + by the same diff, or refers to a different entity than the code uses. +2. **Doc-comment shape problems**: `@param` lines for parameters that do not + exist, missing `@param` for parameters that do, a `Returns:` description that + names values the function never returns, or a stated caller context + (lock/job) that contradicts the actual one. +3. **Removed / renamed references**: a comment in the diff mentions code that + this same patch removed or renamed and was not updated. + +## What NOT to flag + +- Comments that are conservatively vague but still technically true. +- Pre-existing comments outside the diff that this patch did not touch, unless + the patch renamed or removed the symbol they reference. +- Speculation about what a comment "should" say when no current claim is + factually wrong. +- Code without any nearby comments: silence is not a finding here. + +## Severity + +Default to `low` (or `info`). Promote to `major` only when the comment is likely +to mislead a future reader into introducing a bug (e.g. "safe to read without +the lock" when it is not). `critical` is rarely justified for a comment alone. + +## Output format + +For each finding, the `description` MUST quote the specific comment text and the +specific code line(s) that contradict it. A finding without a quoted comment AND +a quoted contradicting line is not useful and will be dropped downstream. From a94c5b3780bbb2d2976dba8e5c693559c42cc2be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chen Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 01:29:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] review: Add libvirt review target Register libvirt as a third review target alongside kernel and QEMU, following the modular src/target/ layout. Add src/target/libvirt.rs implementing TargetSpec over the embedded resources/prompts/libvirt/ corpus (subsystem map, core files, and libvirt-specific reviewer personas), and wire it through ReviewTarget::Libvirt, the --target CLI value, and best-effort tree detection. Make the shared discovery/validation pipeline target-aware rather than kernel-only: one_shot_review(), false_positive_digest() and stage_instructions() are TargetSpec methods that default to the kernel corpus, and libvirt supplies its own. Thread the active target through build_reference_context(), load_false_positive_digest() and the specialist-stage loop, and add a test asserting the fully assembled libvirt payload carries no kernel-only/stale tokens. Gate the lore.kernel.org upstream-followup stage to ReviewTarget::Kernel:. lei requires a public-inbox index, but libvirt development is archived on HyperKitty/Mailman3 (no public-inbox endpoint), so a generic subject could otherwise pull unrelated kernel list traffic into a libvirt review. A libvirt-specific follow-up stage is documented as a follow-up.
