https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161831Libvirtd will crash when parameter tcon = NULL in virSecuritySELinuxSetFileconHelper function, because libvirt do not check the first parameter when use strcmp(). Add a check for tcon before use strcmp() and output a error in log when tcon is NULL.

NACK, calling virSecuritySELinuxSetFileconHelper() with NULL doesn't make sense at all. If you are trying to just fix a possible future errot, then the check for non-NULL parameters needs to be done when the function is starting. But I doubt it's useful. It's another story if you managed to cause such call to this function.

Explaining how did you reach this point with tcon == NULL, or if you even managed to do that, would help others understanding the issue from higher level. Anyway, the problem here is that this function is called with tcon == NULL and not that it doesn't check for that (if you managed to see the segfault). To explain what I mean; if you managed to see the segfault when you performed some operation, that's bad. But when this patch is applied, you still won't be able to perform that operation successfully and we need to find out the root cause of that. The backtrace would fit nicely in the commit message as well. Martin
