it is strange from what I test, it seems o+x is  not necessary but 
sufficient.
I really want to know why o+x is necessary and why it is the only way
to check the permission.

I have try 5 test case with kimchi.

1. There's a iso on my laptop, with o+x permission
$ ls /home/shhfeng/iso/RHEL6.4-20130123.0-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso
/home/shhfeng/iso/RHEL6.4-20130123.0-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso
$ ls /home/shhfeng/ -l |grep iso
drwxrwxrwx.  4 shhfeng shhfeng      4096 Oct  3 00:22 iso

I can create a vm and start is successfully.


2. Now I remove x permission
$ sudo chmod o-x /home/shhfeng/iso
$ ls /home/shhfeng/ -l |grep iso
drwxrwxrw-.  4 shhfeng shhfeng      4096 Oct  3 00:22 iso

I failed to start it for permission.

3. I change the own of this iso, still without x permission.
$ sudo chown qemu:qemu /home/shhfeng/iso
$ ls /home/shhfeng/ -l |grep iso
drwxrwxrw-.  4 qemu    qemu         4096 Oct  3 00:22 iso

Now I can start it successfully.


4. just set the qemu user as search permission.
$ sudo chown shhfeng:shhfeng /home/shhfeng/iso/
$ ls -l /home/shhfeng/ |grep iso
drwxrwxrw-.  4 shhfeng shhfeng      4096 Oct  3 00:22 iso
$ setfacl -m u:qemu:x /home/shhfeng/iso
$ getfacl /home/shhfeng/iso
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: home/shhfeng/iso
# owner: shhfeng
# group: shhfeng
user::rwx
user:qemu:--x
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::rw-

Now I can also start it successfully.


5. remove qemu user as search permission,
add set the 'kvm' group to the path, qemu is in "kvm" group
$ setfacl -x u:qemu /home/shhfeng/iso
$ groups qemu
qemu : qemu kvm
$ sudo chown shhfeng:kvm /home/shhfeng/iso/

Now I can also start it successfully.


only case 2, the kimchi deny to start vm for permission.



I write a python script checkperm.py
It is the same result of libvirt run qemu. you can have a try.
If others do like like checkperm.py,
I think we can probe the permission by let libvirt to start the guest 
with the iso.

$ sudo python checkperm.py 
/home/shhfeng/iso/RHEL6.4-20130123.0-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso

  12         gids = [g.gr_gid for g in grp.getgrall() if user in g.gr_mem]
  13         os.setgid(gid)

  20             q.put(False)
  21
  22     queue = Queue()
  23     p = Process(target=probe_permission, args=(queue, file, user))
