Description Fangge Jin 2020-04-09 09:04:16 UTC
Description of problem:
Do RDMA migration, migration succeeds, but there is audit error on target host.

Version-Release number of selected component:
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-17.module+el8.2.0+6141+0f540f16.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.14.3-41.el8.noarch
libvirt-6.0.0-17.module+el8.2.0+6257+0d066c28.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup rdma migration env

2. Start a vm, and do migration:
# virsh migrate rhev qemu+ssh://*****/system  --live --verbose --p2p --listen-address 0.0.0.0 --migrateuri rdma://192.168.100.8
[100%]

3. After migration completes, check audit message on target host:
# ausearch -c qemu-kvm -m avc

Hi,
  Can you check your /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf,  you may need to add /dev/infiniband stuff to cgroup_device_acl, in my config I have:

cgroup_device_acl = [
    "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
    "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
    "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm",
    "/dev/rtc","/dev/hpet",
   "/dev/infiniband/rdma_cm",
   "/dev/infiniband/issm0",
   "/dev/infiniband/issm1",
   "/dev/infiniband/umad0",
   "/dev/infiniband/umad1",
   "/dev/infiniband/uverbs0"
]


(the /dev/mapper/control is weirder though)

This is tracked in bug 1822522. Nevertheless, it's still weird.

Comment 4 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2020-05-07 14:39:39 UTC
Also, which RDMA card is this? I see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1786670 but that seems to only by Intel Omni path

Comment 5 Fangge Jin 2020-05-08 02:31:57 UTC
1) I have cgroup_device_acl configured correctly, or migration will fail.

2) The RDMA card I used is:
3b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4]

Comment 8 John Ferlan 2021-09-09 18:23:25 UTC
Bulk update: Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2021-10-09 07:27:08 UTC
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
